If this is true, since I haven't tried out 4.2 yet, doesn't this speak pretty poorly of Google considering they aren't even able to go from 4.0 to 5.0 without having a slowdown in a phone they helped design?

I mean...4.0 is supposed to be the rough version and a 4.2 release is supposed to be where they're supposed to have smoothed out all the rough edges...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadHazard:
4.0 was a bit rough. 4.1 (and especially 4.1.2) was where they smoothed out the rough edges and made it great. Now they're back to rough with 4.2 (in some ways). Here's hoping for a very smooth 4.2.1!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spirit66:
Battery life is terrible with this build. It seems that Powercontrol and Android systems seem to be the suspects here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aradfan:
My problem with the delayed mails, whatsapp and facebook messages still persists. I've done a reset factory, flashed 4.1.2 and messages still got delayed. Flashed 4.2 and again all my mail get delyed. I've noticed that when I turn my screen on, the signal goes from blue to grey (grey bars) and comes back on. When it comes back on, then I recieve all my mails, facebook activity and so on. This problem was not present in 4.0.4, should i go back to 4.0.4? or is there a solution? Could it be a hardware problem? Because this is very annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusDro:
How come the battery app of my phone doesn't show how long my phone was awake? The screen-on graph does show though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgentSmith:
I seem to have GPS problems since the update. The gps icon in the status bar shows a fix but maps never shows the location. When pressing the location button in maps I get the message "waiting for location", and "location temporarily unavailable" a bit later. Google sky maps also shows wrong data. Strangely enough the app GPS Status works flawlessly. I hope to find a solution. With android 4.1.2 there were no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I was having issues with GPS originally too on my VZW GNex. If you're on Verizon try flashing Mwalt's GPS fix - every subsequent time I've tried turning on GPS since I flashed it has been greeted with a location lock within ~5 seconds.:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739097

If you're not on VZW - see if there's a similar fix for your particular ROM/Carrier, or try pulling those files from a 4.1.2 ROM/nandroid and pushing them over the stock 4.2 ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peikojose:
I am having problems with 4.2, sometimes I get random reboots... The brightness goes full for one sec and then it shuts down. I did think that it was set CPU but I disable it and it happened again while I was using what sap.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Edrill:
For Nova Launcher, if you check the "Dock as Overlay" option in Nova Settings, the dock works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gn4life:
MX Player is not supported with 4.2 ("Unsupported android version" message is shown). Hope an update will fix this soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] devil500:
The radio is much better I can confirm that because I had to be near a window to get signal. It's a little buggy, but that'll be rectified soon enough :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brando56894:
I have to agree with you there. I loved Swype but its predictions for tapping while in landscape where horrible, I can't wait until Swfitkey Flow is released so that I can have their awesome prediction engine coupled with the quickness of swype.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] defconoi:
FYI faux 23b9 kernel works great on 4.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike.b93:
I hate the slow rotation on the camera app....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j3r3myp:
Apex not working...and my sdcard directory is now composed of a /0 folder, /legacy and /obb :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegtfusion:
I got the same folders when i select s zip in recovery.. Otherwise 4.2 is perfect!

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Yeah I mentioned that @j3 its been that way, I wont question it as Google probably knows what they're doing. When pushing files to adb you can't use /sdcard/ anymore, you need to use /sdcard/0/ now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Torbennmadsen:
Things i like is:

Pinch to zoom in Gmail

I can now download Danish vocabulary to the Stock keyboard.

New camera interface

The new clock app is amazing:):)

Other than that, the recent app drawer seems to lag a bit....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhi29:
I'm glad at least I'm not the only one who doesn't like this update. I've had the gnex since 4.0.4 was out, and I have to say this doesn't seem like much of an upgrade. Someone said earlier "the butter is gone" and I'd have to agree. The transition out of multitasking looks terrible, its just an old ICS transition. Not smooth at all. And the lock screen widgets are glitchy. The quick select menu is less useful than a widget that already does the same thing since they're not really toggles just short cuts. Over all I'm pretty disappointed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] defconoi:
Faux kernel makes this pure butter
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhi29:
This doesn't happen for me. I just tried it in the messaging app and the amazon app and multitasking was in landscape.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InfDaMarvel:
You guys should mention how you upgraded cause I suspect many of you flashed and possibly incorrectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
Was your regular rotation "locked" in portrait?

If so, I may just reflash using the stock images now on the site.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big ZD:
I was going to ask that as well. Clean wipe vs retaining certain user data?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
I did a clean wipe when I flashed the 4.1.2 stock images (wiped userdata), then flashed 4.2 over it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
If anyone is concerned that they flashed wrong:

https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/takju-jop40c-factory-1a47c890.tgz

Can't really go wrong there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hp13:
the performance of stock rom with stock kernel is really poor. It is obviously optimized for Nexus 4. The stock rom is laggy but it has good cool new features. hopefully custom roms would fix it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gpstar:
one thing i found annoying is when using the gnexus on the desktop dock, the screen always stays on when you are in the clock app, even though "keep screen on" is disabled in the developer section.

besides that, everything is good. even smoother than before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eagles20015:
The multitasking is pretty laggy. Also I don't understand the point of having the app you're currently using show up first instead of the previous app.

It also takes a second for the phone to respond when turning the screen on and off. Hopefully these problems are fixed in 4.2.1 cause I never had these problems in 4.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgentSmith:
Thanks for the info. But before I start messing with system files I want to try different methods. I probably end up doing a factory reset. I have a gsm nexus on stock yakju so the phone should simply work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dullknives:
where/what exactly are you clearing data? google services framework? i'm having the same issue as above and would like to try to fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dullknives:
same deal here. bettery battery stats is also showing network location wakelocks which never used to be an issue. i haven't changed any location services settings from 4.1 to 4.2.

looks like it's a known issue with no surefire fix yet.

Looks like tethering is still broken in 4.2, mostly pissed they didn't fix this from 4.1.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
Yessir.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Broken? I've tethered for hours!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tikkalamt:
Something must have gone wrong because messaging consumes as much as screen :eek:

The screenshot is from a day with no SMS sent or received. I was not rooted, installed 4.2 OTA and rooted. What do you suggest to fix this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
anyone tried a custom kernel on stock 4.2 and if yes what's your impression? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Tried Trinity experimental build, for the colours. Pretty stable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dullknives:
so it appears my phone has fixed itself in regards to google services killing the battery life. the phone rebooted on its own yesterday and ever since things are back to normal. previously networklocationlocator was showing 35 minutes in 8 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
If I had to guess I'd say that you have an MMS message hanging up on it causing a messaging wake lock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
My phone creates the hotspot and my tablet sees and connects but the WiFi icon never turns blue so the tablet never gains internet access.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elmerendeiro:
Just opening facebook i go low on memory, if then i hit home the launcher has to reload....wtf....this is bull****
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyrocket727:
My nexus 7 and gnex tether fine.. In fact n7 now plays youtube in hd when tethered instead of HQ like it use to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Murrzeak:
I noticed that new lockscreen made the phone less responsive. Sometimes it takes a second or two for it to react to wake up button. Really annoying. Then it's the new camera.. Did you notice that it once again now takes considerably more time to turn from horizontal to vertical and vice versa? It takes ages..And moreover that animation is useless. The battery life is pretty much the same for me. Maybe a bit better, but probably the same. In overall it's a mixed bag.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wolf911:
My experiences so far have been good with Jelly Belly ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adam1882:
Well I was running 4.2 for the past 6 days and today I finally had enough and flashed back to 4.1.2.

The reason is the lag, y is it so laggy, I actually like the lock screen widgets unlike a lot of people but the lag is so bad.

I also get random freezes its just ridiculous.

Anyways if your having problems roll back to 4.1.2. My phone is now running like a dream on 4.1.2. Amazing. Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sliders7:
Sorry 4.2 you let me down.

Me too, i revert back to 4.1.2 Stock and smooth as silk!

- I got SOD (Sleep Of Death) 2-3 times a day - batt must be removed! thats a pain in my "behind" considering i'm using TPU case, it's painstakingly long process if you must remove your batt every 2-3 times a day.

when i'm with my friends saw me did that, they think i'm using blackberry.

- Random flickering on screen.

- It does freezes

- and those lags is amazing! very entertaining.. :cyclops:

My Gnex is bloody STOCK! only got roots, don't like games & i only got around 8 installation of 3rd party apps,

waiting for 4.2.x or 4.3? .... i read google will release major release, don't know whatever that means...

Now my problem is, how do i get rid of this 4.2 OTA update keep popping-up on my screen no matter how many times i try to dismiss it..

.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davinci..:
Switched back from stock 4.2 yakju OTA update, to stock 4.1.2..after 2 days of use..

the difference is absolutely night and day.

At this point im 99% convinced project butter is flat out broken in 4.2. You dont realize how bad it is, until you go back and immediately see all the frames you were missing all throughout the OS. The lag/stutters/lack of fluidity was everywhere, to almost pre ics days, and just ruins the whole experience of everything else you gained.

Cant recommend switching back enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aradfan:
Someone please help me with this. So my problem is exactely like this : The phone is syncing data and recieving all FB,Gtalk and whatsapp messages on time through mobile data network - Then I turn the wi-fi on, again everything is normal - Turn the wi-fi off and enable data network and from this point everything goes bad - When I leave the phone for 10min and then turn it on, from 3G(blue) goes to H(blue) -> then to 3G(grey bars) ->H(grey bars) ->3G(blue) ->H(blue) and then I must enter one application to start the sync. To fix it I must go to APN and select another APN. Is it my Providers fault, or is it something wrong with the phone?.Thanks efrant !!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jose Viegas:
I keep having random Soft Reboots, I had it with UDK's R5 and now with Android Revolution 8, anyone knows of a fix for this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sliders7:
CMIIW thats called "networking bug"

look this link: http://www.techradar.com/news/softw...-year-old-bug-in-next-android-version-1114637
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jose Viegas:
I see.....

http://code.google.com/p/android/is...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=39912
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aradfan:
I've read this, but this doesn't match my problem. If I understood the problem CMIIW is only on wireless that is open but in order to browse the web you must authentificate. If so, then this should happen only when I am on wi-fi, but this happens on 3G when I leave the phone for 10 min or longer the signal goes from blue to grey and it stopps syncing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgentSmith:
After restoring factory defaults GPS is working fine again. I'm happy my phone is ok again but I find this a bit disappointing from Google. Having to restore all apps and data is pretty time consuming especially since there is no real SD card that can simply be removed and replaced. I hope future updates will run more smoothly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evil_penguin:
Just hate it.

- lock screen is ugly.

- Not as smooth as JB 4.1

For me ICS was much smoother than 4.2

- hangs a lot of time.

- recent apps is laggy.

-again ,poor audio.

- some visuals problems.(was not present before)

- battery got even worse.

-camera sucks (when you rotate it lags)

As well as newgallery.

-message (null 0) always pop when I go to phone app.

-soemthing is wrong with proximity senser.

Etc...

Really disappointed.

Things I like.

1)keyboard

And

2) clock

Nothing else.

I am running stock 4.2 un-rooted.

Have wiped 4-5 times still ......

I don't know how come many people don't have any issue.

This is worst android update after honeycomb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheScarecrow:
In the interest of balance, I have found 4.2 to be very good on this device which is completely stock and OTA updated.

Its been a week since I updated after being driven crazy by the constant update reminders. I can't see any problems at all, its smooth, no lockups, all apps I use working fine and no hardware issues.

The best new feature for me is the keyboard, although it could allow more customisation.

I disable the lock screen with its ugly clock and widgets but the clock and alarm app are butt ugly. I'm not interested in multiple users. I haven't noticed any change in battery usage.

Overall 4.2 brings little new to me on this device but it's all smooth and functional, I'm very happy with it. Possibly the problems reported here on this thread are linked mainly to the device being used.

Can zoom into Gmail with Android 4.2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dullknives:
and my google services battery drain issue is back. WTF google?

notice also the 2 random reboots, one happened overnight and the other this morning while i was using the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
What kernel are you running? And are you using haxsync by any chance? My N7 is still having the Google Services bug, but I've noticed it really has zero effect on my battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dullknives:
my phone is 100% stock, not running haxsync.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
I don't know if you were around when the Gnex first got released, but we had a bug a lot like this when it first came out that incorrectly (or correctly) showed Android OS as being a huge battery hog when it was really just reporting differently. I think this may be the same thing, 9+ hours with 73% battery left is pretty dang good for this phone, have you noticed any substantial difference in battery life since Google Services started reporting like that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xpeter88:
I did not observed issues as you mentioned on my Nexus. Battery drain is +/- the same as at 4.1.2 and DID not have qny random reboots yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dullknives:
i have noticed decreased battery life when it is reporting like this, i am also using the official samsung extended battery. i noticed the poorer battery life after the 4.2 update but didn't bother to look at the stats until it had gone on for a few days. then like i mentioned earlier, i noticed yesterday that my battery life was back to normal - checked stats and sure enough, google services was back down to a single digit %.

fwiw, my phone just soft rebooted for the 3rd or 4th time today and this time i got a 'com.android.location.fused stopped unexpectedly' error. something isn't right after this update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluemoon1221:
4.2 is a very good update for my phone.

it literally doubled my battery life! I'm very thankful to google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nfy123:
Just wanted to let you know I have the same issue, every now and then, the signal bars will go grey and I'll have no data connection. To get it working, I power off and on the phone and the H(Blue) comes back and I've got data again. I haven't managed to proof it, but I think the phone does a soft reboot when it's in my pocket and when it comes back, it's in this state.

Yes but you have to enable it in Gmail's settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zAlbee:
I saw this happen on my tablet running ICS a couple weeks ago. Battery life appeared the same, only reporting 50% from Google services. Clearing cache and dalvik cache fixed it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InfDaMarvel:
Was reading this thinking the same exact thing. And his random reboots relate to some sort of app if not its probably a bad flash/update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alemezu:
Well I was so excited about the update...

But it became slaggy again.. Not even mention the awful lockscreen which I think it's a complete downgrade from jelly bean 4.1.. For me the lockscreen camera widget is OK but everything else is terrible. Like that horrible music control widget

By the way if anyone knows how to get the ICS music controls on 4.2 lockscreen please tell me..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpark3711:
Lockscreen to Camera and battery

I've heard mixed things about battery life, but my battery life is pretty terrible right now compared to 4.1.2.

Unlocking to the camera has a little bit more of a lag than I would like as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tanzemyu:
for me, battery dropping much faster than 4.1....and hate that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AArmin88:
So far so good, flashed 6hrs ago, seems very nice although it seems a bit laggy...

Anyone disabled suggestions on the gesture typing? I am from the balkans, dont need english suggestions :)

I had problems with 4.2 takju but yesterday I installed yakju factory image from Google... Now the phone is damn fast and I haven't got any issue. Battery life is excellent. Actually I'm on stock rom with root, I'll install a rom when they'll be more stable.

Did you have HD widget installed by any chance? My friend's phone rebooted 3 to 4 times a day. After uninstalling HD widget, her phone is fine again. Some Nexus 7 users at the other forum also reported that uninstalling HD widget got rid of the reboot problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
Hmm I'll have to try that on my N7, but I'm guessing my reboots have to do with a memory leak while playing MC3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dullknives:
thanks for this - i did install hd widgets after the 4.2 update - i did just update to the newest version and if my timeline is correct i don't think i've had any reboots since installing the newest version. i'll keep an eye on it - thanks again!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nomancoolboy:
Do any one noticed that the developers options disappeared in 4.2???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
its just hidden. to see it go to setting----about phone-----tap on build number 6 or 7 times and it will appear ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alexcinci:
so far it´s more unstable then the previous 4.1.2 .

hope next update come soon

-bluetooth with bugs (just like nexus S, sometimes stop working)

-had a blackout screen 2 times that forced me to pullout battery

-notice a little lag while changing camera from portrait to landscape

those other subject stuff like "butterness" I don´t know...

The good thing for me was the battery life, its little bit better. Eventhough these days I´m not connecting 3G...so I´m not sooo sure...

forgot to mention: the clock is horrible, last one was so clean. The settings for Alarm is other tragedy, very ugly and it seens other system... What I liked on clock was the timer (multiple timers!! loved it)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abcorp:
Don't like 4.2

I have to say... I didn't like this OTA... charging the device becames more slow (don't know why?) and having issues with bluetooth devices. In 4.1 I never had any issue at all with bluetooth pairing with my car audio system... now... sometimes work, other times I must reboot the phone. WTF? I saw in the changelog anywhere that bluetooth stack was changed... I really don't know how this can be published to OTA without serious tests...

I love android... but I think this was a bad update. Hope they fix this issues quickly. Also know that i'm not the only one with this kind of problems...

Maybe a factory reset help? Hummmm ......:confused:

I also notice that screen rotation in camera is very slow....
