Hi, for me this instruction was clear. Also format system to get a full wipe http://webtrickz.com/guide-to-manually-install-android-4-2-takju-on-non-yakju-galaxy-nexus/ No deep sleep until yet.

---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 AM ----------

If you like franco kernel here is the link to boot.img http://minooch.com/franciscofranco/Galaxy Nexus/JB/JB-4.2/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hardikjakharia:
The proxmity sensor just turns display off, but the screen and buttons are still pressable...

try making a call and keep a thumb over proximity sensor and press the region with end callm, te call will be ended...

The testers in ANdroid team seem to have become lazy...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maaluwa:
How did radio become better when there's no built-in radio? Ivm confused
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yewchung07:
i just update my gnex to takju 4.2 and there is a bug that i very concern about, after 5 to 10 min i lock my screen, the screen will on by itself..anyone having same problem and how to fix it?? pls .. help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr-noname:
How did you upgrade? A few posts before I described how I did. No problems so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
yeah heard about some ppl having that issue..i dont have it personally
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yewchung07:
Are you a Galaxy Nexus (yakju) user and waiting for the 4.2 OTA update while the same has been pushed for Takju variant... please follow below to convert from yakju to takju (stock) without loosing your data/apps: (assuming you know adb & fastboot and have set them up on your computer. Also assuming that bootloader is unlocked) [Please read before you implement]

1. Download the 4.2 factory images for Takju from http://goo.gl/UMbmS

2. Extract files using 7-zip on Windows (you need to extract twice and will get the files as: bootloader-xxx.img; radio-xxx.img and image-xxx.zip)

3. Copy these files to the location android-sdk/platform-tools/ (if you have the android-sdk installed or to the location where adb & fastboot is)

4. Plug in your Galaxy Nexus (ensure Debug option is enabled under Developer Settings

5. Follow these commands:

a. adb reboot bootloader

b. fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-xxx.img

c. fastboot reboot-bootloader

d. fastboot flash radio radio-xxx.img

e. fastboot reboot-bootloader

f. fastboot update image-xxx.zip

This would update your Galaxy Nexus from Stock 4.1.2 (yakju) to Stock 4.2 (takju) without losing any data/apps

Note:

1. If you using Windows follow the video tutorial to setup adb and fastboot http://goo.gl/jGcic

2. If you are on Mac, use ./ before the commands for execution

Note 2: With this method you don't need to remove the userdata.img as the command "fastboot update image-xxx.zip" does not touch the userdata on your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
hmm.. i flashed the FULL factory image using toolkit and i also applied the ota before and didnt have that issue on either
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alc027:
I'm having an odd problem since updating to 4.2. My carrier (Telstra) has its network set up so that the default state is 3G and you negotiate up to H when using data. After a few seconds of no data transfers your connection falls back down to 3G (this is different to Vodafone and Optus whose connections are always on H). Anyway:

Sometimes (usually when I travel, so it may be cause by handing over between cells) I will take my phone out of my pocket and it will be stuck on H with no data transferring. If I try to use data the transaction arrows show up but nothing happens.

To fix it I turn on then off Airplane mode. Immediately everything starts working again and emails come through. I have changed the RIL and baseband to ones I know work and it still happens. While the data is stuck I can still send/receive calls/SMS.

Anyone else?

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

This 100%. What a let down 4.2 is.

- I don't enable lockscreen.

- Multiple user profiles?? ***** please.

- Swype is no good nuff said.

- Quick settings are useless. I was expecting toggles, not to be taken to the screen where I can change settings. It's also not possible to do a 2 finger swipe one handed. I thought Google was going to get rid of this 2 finger **** when notifications changed to one finger in 4.1.2. Bad.

- Stock kernel screen tuning is always jaundice and awful. Why is this still like this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
are you stock or using a aosp rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr-noname:
Ok it's nearly the same. The instructions above does not keep your data. I wiped everything (also system and sdcard).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ns2israel:
yep. same happens to me... I thought that its because my carrier but after you described it I understand it isn't... still don't know how to resolve that matter.

:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sliders7:
No december on 4.2!

GOOGLE forgot to include DECEMBER on 4.2 !

We will find this problem while creating event on Contacts... ! Confirmed!

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/11/17/sorry-santa-google-cancels-december-in-android-4-2/

Definitely premature release! OMG
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
yeah.. i think we might get a 4.2.1 in december
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BennyJr:
4.2 is awesome, yeah it has a few bugs but nothing major. Everything is faster more fluid. Battery life is also much better. I got 3hrs screen time and 16hrs of run time all on hspa, and the stock battery. No sleep of deaths either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NickS_:
Does anyone have a fix for the GOD AWFUL bluetooth A2DP streaming quality now? It was crystal before, they changed the drivers or something and now it's distorted and unclear. No EQ, just using Spotify. Can confirm that it is indeed this update.

Ugh, might have to revert back to 4.1.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
No problems here, check your application. I listen to music almost everyday using Bluetooth headset and I haven't noticed a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
You know what they say about opinions... BTW I swiped that on my keyboard that I love... after turning on my Wi-Fi using the shortcut that I love... after unlocking using the new lockscreen which I love.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
Swype keyboard is just awesome. Most of the grammatical errors I make is because I am going to fast and I accidentally swype the wrong letters. I swiped this message as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaineshutler:
Mainly love 4.2, everything seems buttery smooth, seen an extra hour or two charge out of my GNex too.

Not feeling the widgets on the homescreen so I'm not using them and the quick settings are a little **** also.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NickS_:
Really? Listen to a song with a lot of highs. That's the only part that's bad, the highs get distorted. Thanks for the feedback though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnralp00:
Bluetooth won't stay connected and usually doesn't connect automatically. Driving me insane.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] karel88:
my gnex keep on facing sleep of death. running on stock rom and unroot. any ideas??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] morfic:
Using stock kernel as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] karel88:
SOD on 4.2

yes. stock kernel as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusDro:
So far so good on my Gnex. It feels fast and smooth like before. No crashes, no reboot, no FC's *crosses fingers*

I'm glad that I no longer need to use any wake lock apps when tethering using bluetooth. People said the new lockscreen widgets are ugly, but they don't bother me. The new gesture keyboard is not too bad. I still prefer SwiftKey and Swype (for the punctuations). Did Google adjust the colours in the update? The white and grey colours on the display look a little bit better. I like the new clock app. But the fonts do look messed up to me.

Photosphere is fun. I need more practice to take a perfect shot. Am I supposed to use my body as the axis or the phone? Wish they had put HDR though, pretty sure the phone is capable of doing that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MacGuy2006:
I get exactly the same problem on T-Mobile in the US, but I am on 4.1.2.

It's driving me nuts, since it appears randomly and I don't know about it until I actually have one minute left to go through my email, and it's not there....

Android is still a little rough around the edges, IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeffwei8:
Same here.

So annoying.

Bluetooth just randomly disconnects from my headset while driving. Then it finally gives up and locks up when I try to turn bluetooth off on the phone and only way to fix it to restart or manually force stop Bluetooth Share.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xdp:
One of the things that bugs me about the new lock screen is that the timeout has been increased to 30 seconds, presumably to give you more time to view widgets. I liked it before when it was 5 seconds so I could quickly check the time or notifications and the screen would turn off on its own quickly. Now it stays on for 30 seconds or you have to press the power button again to turn it off. I'm guessing this isn't adjustable without root or a custom ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brunnels1:
Weird bluetooth has been much more stable for me than 4.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnralp00:
Since I've gotten my g nexus Bluetooth had been Rock solid. Always connecting immediately with no issues. I mostly use in my truck via Ford sync. Since 4.2 I have to connect manually and it often stops the connections.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
The phone. The less you move the lens the better, although the father away your subject is the less it matters.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckyplanet:
Anyone know why the pinch to zoom feature that is implemented in Gmail 4.2 is not found on the native Email app? Or am I not looking at the right place?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alc027:
100% stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnralp00:
You have to enable it in settings within gmail. Not sure if the email app does it, if that's what you're talking about
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alc027:
User profiles?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckyplanet:
Thanks i got it figured out in gmail but can't seem to get that functionality implemented in the stock email app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] illinoissparks18:
Running Great! 12 hr battery life!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
What the hell is this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnralp00:
I noticed that too. I have went back to 4.1.2. I wasn't happy with 4.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
I barely used my phone today. Phone was probably jealous because I was cheating on it with black ops 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cmoore0965:
I'm noticing this, too. Kind of disappointed after a week of contentment with the upgrade, I experienced 3 soft reboots in a day, one in the middle of a work call, and as of yesterday my battery life seems to be in serious decline. The reboots seem to have been an isolated incident, as I haven't had one again since that day, but battery was already an issue with this phone. I'm seeing 4.2.1 in the near future if this erratic user experience doesn't level out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
I wish Google would just fix what's been working great instead of adding new crap to the mix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssvijay:
Did you check for wakelocks???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alc027:
DSOD on stock kernel 4.2? Come on Google get it together. Official Nexus builds are usually close to flawless. 4.2 is a joke.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gancuimian:
It happens when some apps forgot to release wake locks. The best thing to do maybe just reboot your phone and it can go to sleep.

If it happens again, than uninstall any suspicious apps. If it still wake all night, fire a bug to google, there may be something wrong in either the system or google's app. Although I never see the later happens, but some sloppy 3rd app developers do over-cherish their wake locks.

You may also use BetterBatteryStats to check what is going wrong. But since all wake locks is reported as a whole item, I don't think you can figure out which app did the crime. Also the battery report of the system may also blame all the wake lock to the Android OS (but actually hold by some 3rd apps).

I'd like to know if there is any way to narrow down to one or two apps that actually cause these problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] negrobembon:
Man, google apps are wakelock-happy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vbauer86:
I have not a single reboot or funny wakelocks that drains my battery. Im running 4.2 for like a week and havent encountered any issues ur talking about besindes that december is missing in contacts birthdays. (but thats a known issue http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/18/android-4-2-bug-omits-december-from-the-people-app/)

I know when u guys are talking about partial/kernel wakelocks then i bet u have 100% a custom rom and heres the big problem. You are not using stock so you will never have the stability of a stock rom...so complain about bugs in deticated thread for this custom rom.

From my experience 4.2 is a big improvement over 4.1 in many aspects.

- better colors on display, clear and more saturated

- battery life improved (not just standby but ondisplay too)

- quick settings (imo better than toggles, makes any toggle app useless)

- volume improvement (this was the big deal for me! With 4.1... Youtube,VEVO, Navigon and probably some other apps were just to quiet, now the bug seems to be solved since its clear and loud again)

- new clock app (worldclock and stopwatch added) and new alarm <3 when it rings at the morning you dont have to be worried to press snooze accidently cause its more touch friendly (you have to slide to snooze or wake)

- new camera is fine (but the slow animation isnt smooth enough, it takes about 1,5 sec to rotate...kinda annoying here, but again, sphere and quick access to options makes this easy to forget the slow animation)

- the overall smoothness is about the same as in 4.1 (sometimes it lags a bit when you swipe to captured picture)

So there is actually nothing i really miss from 4.1.2.

Guys just do a full wipe and clear installation and use stock image and you will be satisfied with 4.2 in every aspect. If you want to use a custom rom so you have to accept that you will get some nasty bugs like wakelocks or soft reboots and other bugs.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evil_penguin:
going back to 4.1.2 (cm10)

4.2 is seriously a joke.

Its laggy.

Battery is $hit ( only 30 apps installed- no facebook or any other junk apps which causes battery drain)

and notification toggles its not toggle at all .. It takes you to settings page which sucks IMO.

waiting for 4.2.1.

Just saying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnralp00:
I was running stock 4.2. I never had any reboots but I did have pretty poor battery life as well as Bluetooth issues. I have reverted back to 4.1.2 for the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
No issues at all and I mean "real" issues not "I don't like the new feature abc".

Did a fresh factory image flash only restoring my user apps + data. Scanned over the thread and I haven't seen, can't reproduce a single issue mentioned here (aside the missing december in the People app).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taylerdurden:
For people who have 4.2.. have the new alarm app, the option to increase the volume when it is ringing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohaimed:
i am also running 4.2 nexus beam v1.1.battery life seems better.no lags.no reboots or freezes. surprised that you people are having such problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] richdaley:
I have had a couple of random reboots which was a little shocking because the GNex has been rock solid for me since the beginning. I am hoping the problem was caused by restoring data backups using titanium so I did a fresh install and installed the apps I use regularly from the market. I am hoping that fixes the problem. Overall, the performance (speed, lag, etc) feels about the same as before the update which is very good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arlyn:
it runs great. slick, fast, battery life is great. But all of the roms are medleys of old and new source and binaries. I've tried RU Jellin, Maddoggin, and bigrushdog's roms, but there are different issues with all of them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
for me 4.2 is really fast even on stock kernel, and even better on custom kernels.. battery life was also really good on stock kernel.. as for the notification toggles i dont really car much about them, but i am sure custom roms will make them better
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
i am using daxs fnv aosp atm and its pretty much bug-free, waiting for pa 2.99 to be released
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
They also aren't called toggles, so ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] channaq4:
Not fast as 4.1.2 YouTube fc smtimes waiting for next release
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hardikjakharia:
For the phone behaving weirdly during call, i found it is proximity issue.

Make a call and hold a thumb over the proximity sensor to have screen turn off. Now click on area which had the call end red button, and the call will end, despite screen being off due to proximity sensor.

If u have same prob,star the issue here

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azulpiscina:
camera lags when changing the orientation...

weird during calls.

Im going back to yakju and wait for the OTA, probably the 4.2.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
Works like it's supposed to. Screen goes black and I can click anywhere without any response.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n2rjt:
Battery meter and charging state are screwed up. It always thinks it is charging even when unplugged as long as battery has 75% or more. The battery history meter has never reset since I installed so shows many days, many charge cycles.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
lol that is a good point :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
sounds like a faulty charging port to me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusDro:
For those who want real toggles in their notification tray, I use the "Settings Extended" app from the Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5oYi5zZXR0aW5ncyJd. Still would like that feature built in though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evil_penguin:
Thanks for sharing!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aashishbhargav:
Kjakkharia.. kya kharia :laugh:

Clicks on screen are disabled until you move your hand away from proximity sensor.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Froz3nsolid:
4.2 feedback

well i was coming from 2.54 Paranoid and for the most part i like how its running smoothly. im running the OTA Deodexed rom that was release a couple of days ago. the CRT is a bit laggy . there have been reports that OTG isnt working with the new 4.2 update hopefully this will be fixed in the near future. though its been running smoothly i havent really seem any great improvements , just the notification bar and of course the daydream feautre which is pretty cool . im waiting for Paranoid to release there 2.99 rom so i can flash it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GoogleAndroid:
I'm loving most of 4.2. Quick settings is nice. I like the new camera app. And gesture typing is great and gets rid of the need for Swype. However, I have 2 major issues. The new lockscreen is horrible. It's messy and seems rushed. And the clock app is ugly and frustrating to use.

Overall, 4.2 is ok, but the new lockscreen and clock apps really suck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hardikjakharia:
My experience in past few days says, what if 4.2 is day optimized for quad core in nexus 4, could that be the reason for lag in our phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
I'm not getting lag. I wiped my phone though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
no lag here..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
yeah some ppl are getting lag and some arent..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xtpsycho:
not feeling too great about 4.2.. I just noticed something today about the turn by turn navigation system. voice directions are not understandable. it says everything in less then a second. anyone else notice this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inorde:
I'm starting to think that a few Apps might be causing these issues. For example Light Flow seems to be a perfect suspect when it comes to most issues I've seen regarding lag and wakeup issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bar_rodoy:
I have lags and random reboots...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sbodyontheweb:
no random reboot here, i made a full factory reset before upgrading but dont know if its related.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] karel88:
anyone facing sleep of death on gnex 4.2??

i keep getting SOD even though my battery still above 80%

any idea why??

thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] defconoi:
I'm using paranoid android 2.99 with faux's latest kernel interactive deadline and this is smooth, backup do a full sync and try it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
how is pa 2.99?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
Bloated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] defconoi:
It is a lil laggierthan fnv aosp, but it's nice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danta.moore:
its definitly slower

im seeing lag all over, from app transition, to the keyboard. i got the sod once, but never again. and the biggest issue is the gps. it says it has a lock but maps and navigation says other wise. i think im ready for another go at 4.1.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PigpenUK:
I've gone back to 4.1.2 after a traumatic evening involving formatting my storage and wrestling with an avalanche of RPC errors from the Play store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sailor Saucy:
Experiencing a bit of lag here and there on stock 4.2 with stock and also Franco's test kernels, swiping between homescreens and opening apps - but the real killer for me is Google Now. From time to time, opening it up just grinds the whole phone to a halt for several excruciating seconds.

Coming from some of the slicker 4.1.2 ROMs, it's a bit of a kick in the teeth - just got too used to that butter-smoothness. Here's hoping Google (or our enterprising ROM chefs) manage to sort things out soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ohiomoto:
Been running MMuzzy's and it's been working great for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ejpenha:
Hi..

My brazillian GNex manufactured at Manaus plant, flashed from yakjuvs to yakju for 4.1 update and now running takju 4.2 flashed from 4.1.2 (yakju)...

0 issues, working very well, just a Little lag on camera APP rotation.. I can live with this.

I didnt read all this thread, but looks like that there is a problem with OTA update, dont remember to see a lot of issues from who flashed the full factory stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] defconoi:
Well I was on pa 2.99 but it seemed slow n laggy, fnv aosp seems to be faster than stock, will use that until cm 10.1 gets released
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
On Fnv, seems really fast. Miss my lock screen shortcuts and built in quick toggles on notification bar (using a app for time being for notification toggles).

Stable and very fast. Happy with 4.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inorde:
Played around with it for a while and nothing to complain. Yes the camera turns a bit slow but it's not much of an issue.

Everything it really fast and the new keyboard is more accurate than I thought.

Edit - still nothing to complain about. Everything is very sleek and the new clock looks very good to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thegodfather156:
am i the only one that has the slim hours on the lockscreen clock even after updating to 4.2? sort of irritating.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
Post a screenshot. Interested to see what it looks like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
What ROM are you on? MMuzzy changed it to slim on his because he liked it better, probably the same on yours,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thegodfather156:
I am on Rasbean 11-20. I will post a screen shot in sec
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NickS_:
Flashing franco r313 kernel got rid of ALL 4.2 lag and made it super super super fast again. Just an FYI.

My A2DP sound quality still sucks though since the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adamfalkofske:
I got a group text message right after I updated to 4.2 on my GSM Galaxy Nexus and.. it worked. Everything is threaded. I haven't been this happy about a change to Android since.. ever?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jon9314:
I have Verizon's version and have mmuzzy's ROM installed and it is great he and others have worked out many bugs and revamped the toggles so they work the way they should.
