Galaxy Nexus :: Yakju :: 4.2.1 (stock)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sliders7:
Where did u get the addon for 4.1? Any link? Thx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sir-Lancelot:
I have been underwhelmed with the VZW versions that I have flashed. Lots of bugs, lags, SOD, borked GPS, Maps running constantly, getting hot, etc. I need my phone for work so stability >>> customization.

I am currently running AlienRom 4.1.2 with leankernal 4.4 and I have not flashed anything to date that's made me want to switch right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Just got my first sleep of death. Had to pop the battery. Anyone else having these?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xpeter88:
Yes. And I came too late to work..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moshe22:
I went ahead and flashed 4.1.2

I was using stock 4.2.1, unrooted and for the most part it felt good, pretty stable for me at least. I did notice some lag and jittery but didn't think much about it.

Well I wanted more functionality like T9, etc. So I flashed Xylon 4.2.1 but before I flashed Xylon and flashed the factory image of 4.1.2 and man that thing is fast and buttery. I went ahead and flashed Xylon anyways but after just a few hours I couldn't bear the lag and jittery feeling.

So I now I am running CM10 stable with and will flash the 4.2.1 keyboard and I'll be happy.

This thing is flying compared to 4.2.1, seriously.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LibertyMonger:
None of these issues you all are complaining about. Everything has been great for me ad2p Bluetooth and all. Don't know anything about all this lag everyone is talking about. Only issue I have is Swype fc when it first starts up and after that it is fine! No turning back for me!

Oh and battery life is better I believe. Running xylon 11 b2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moshe22:
Good for you my friend. Wish mine was smooth and nice on 4.2.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NickS_:
It's factual that the bitpool has been lowered, and cymbals, and other high frequency sounds over a good stereo are now distorted and "crunchy."

Theres a discussion on the google code website thing where you can submit thoughts and bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] galaxynexium:
K so far 4.2.1 is working real good I notice some apps don't play well but I assume that's because The developers of those apps just haven't ironed out with 4.2.1 yeat

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinkdrain:
Pointless lock screen widgets

Pointless settings pull down

Pointless bold hour font

This would all be fine except my screen goes black after exiting some bigger apps, Bluetooth audio has significantly gone down in quality... Add that to the fact that dock mode is broken... I am very bitter!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
Lockscreen widgets are extremely helpful, far from pointless. App developers are already starting to create lock screen widgets.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
Seriously, how can someone thing they are useless? I love being able to access my camera and flashlight without unlocking my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
Some people don't want their lock to be circumvented. That's the point of the lock in the first place...:silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
Being able to read part of an email/text isn't exactly circumventing the lock. If someone attempts to click on the message/text, boom it asks for your pass code. Anyways what's so important in the first 15 characters of a message that you must hide it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rswelch:
had it with 4.2

Really wanted to like 4.2.X, but bluetooth has been the killer. When the phone rings it partially rings once and maybe once more before the call goes to v-mail if I"m lucky. Plus the inability to turn off vibrate on non g-mail accounts has been annoying so I have to leave the volume right above vibrate.

To add insult to injury I've had the phone app hang as well at the most annoying times.

At this stage my main GNex is going back to 4.1.2 I need this phone to work correctly as I use bluetooth alot. ( though I didn't have any issue streaming to my tunelink )

I have another phone I'll leave at 4.2.1, it's kind of a play phone. And my Nexus 7 works fine for what I use it for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
For some people that's too much shown on their phone and the reason they have a lock on it in the first place.

Why not just include a means of disabling lockscreen widgets so everybody is satisfied?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mith500:
To zoom in when using the camera, use the pinch to zoom method
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
With my bluetooth I'm noticing that the phone will silently ring a few times before you will hear it ringing in the headset. I have enough rings that it doesn't go to VM but I'm sure it's annoying to the caller that it takes longer to answer the call.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gothickah0:
my gnex running smoothly with this new update but...the battery drained so fast..i have never experience such thing before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b0ris_:
Anyone else noticed that the new alarm clock widget doesn't update "next alarm info"?

And the new lock screen is not responsible directly after starting the screen. This is quite annoying.

It feels I'm on a beta system again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
What irritates me most is stuttering scroll in application drawer (especially in widget tab and on last screen i application tab) and wifi slowdown (connection drops) while screen is off. The latter is extremely annoying when you try to download a bigger file. It takes ages. (It seems to be a well known issue (40792), and has been already reported http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40792). Once these two issues are eliminated (and maybe t9 dialer is finally introduced. I don't like third party dialers...cos they cannot fully replace the stock one.) I'd be fully satisfied with our firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ncvikingx97:
I have stuttering too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
Did you try to disable the new option "Settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi optimization"? I think many routers have problems with the wifi low power/power saving mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Thanks for the tips, I'll give it a try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esilac:
I think the most annoying thing right now is how many of the apps vibrate off settings are ignored. I threw my phone into vibrate for work like I normally do (because my work emails via Exchange through Email), only to find that talk users, gmail, texts all flying through vibrating the hell out of my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alexcinci:
Do somebody could fix the bluetooth issue? That's for me is the most anoying issue of 4.2.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Napa7m:
I installed the XenonHD 4.2.1 rom and it felt a little buggy compared to the cm10 nightlies.

The new keyboard is pretty awesome, but there wasn't really anything else notably different IMO.

Battery life is definitely decreased as well.

The bugs weren't anything serious, the more troubling issue for me is that I somehow lost several GB of free space when I made the switch, and I couldn't go back to my cm10 backup. I updated CWM and copied the entire clockwork mod folder from /0/ to /data/media/ and finally I was able to successfully restore, but then I lost another 10GB upon doing so!! I don't know what that is all about.

Now I have only 7.8GB free on my phone, and I only have about 1GB of music and other crap on it. The rest is just mysteriously gone. I just did a factory reset, followed by a restore back to a cm10 backup, and I'm still hosed. I read something about the SD card becoming corrupt. I guess that's what has happened.

Any ideas on what I should do next to get my free space back?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moshe22:
Run the factory image, flash CWM and then restore your backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Napa7m:
Yea, I tried that. It gave me a 'error while restoring system' message.

I only have the '/clockworkmod/backup/' folder for my backups. Is that all I need, or was the 'blobs' folder required too?

Full format gave my free space back now at least...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moshe22:
You will need all those folders as far as I know including the blobs folder because part of the backup is in those folders.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
The point of the lock is to protect my personal data, not too be an unnecessary hindrance. Hence I do not use email or message widgets, but camera and flashlight widgets are a major improvement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Napa7m:
Ok, I figured that...

I wasn't able to copy the blobs folder before formatting, as my phone would go unresponsive everytime I tried.

Oh well, it's back up and running now and I didn't lose very much.

Thanks for the help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ad astra:
running pretty well over here.

still cant talk to friends via voice/video chat on google talk (app force closes), but thats ok..

I'm running a lot better now that it's a fresh install.

The added features are nice. Hopefully CM gives us a 10.1 release soon, it's taking so long, I feel so neglected. :laugh:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Stuttering while scrolling in app drawer was even present on 4.1. It wasn't that evident as it is on 4.2 though (imo).

I've noticed also some SODs and occasional reboots. Of course it's been very rarely. However I've never experienced that on 4.1.

It took me a few goes to find a 4.2.1 ROM I liked, but now I'm on fitsnugly's AOKP nightlies with the Franco 342 kernel and everything is perfect. Very happy right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ncvikingx97:
The stutter is really annoying. I have had a couple sods a day running trinity alpha 4 on my galaxy nexus. Just flashed alpha 7 so that should be better. Not many sods on nexus 7 though

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ynrozturk:
Hi guys,

I just bought a GNex and it came pre loaded with 4.1.1, and for the life of me I can't get the OTA. I have a Nexus 7 and the Services Framework trick works on that, but I must have tried like 50 times on this GNex and still nothing. Not to mention this update can be considered old now.

Any ideas? I want to remain stock and not have to flash anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
If your nexus is not yakju/takju the update is not available yet for you. To check what you have go to Maps-> Settings-> About and see what it says there. Post what you find.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ynrozturk:
Thanks for your response. I just checked what you said and it says "samsung yakjuxw"

My baseband version : I9250XXLF1

Build number : JRO03C.i9250XWLH2

Hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ncvikingx97:
If you are on verizon , you have nothing to worry about
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ynrozturk:
I'm not in the US, so I'm not on Verizon/Sprint or any of that jazz. I just can't understand why it's not getting the OTA. Very strange.

Would you guys suggest using a Toolkit for this? I admit to being a noob when it comes to this sort of thing - the most advanced manual update I did was to get my Galaxy S from Froyo to Gingerbread with a Toolkit, so yeah.

Never had this issue with my N7 so I'm just trying to understand what the problem might be. And a solution of course.

Edit : Turns out this phone is unlocked. Wtf?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
You are not getting the update because you are probably not on the gsm yakju rom which is the one directly from Google. The other versions have to go through a carrier and can take a lot longer.

Updating to yakju is not difficult even for a noob if you use the galaxy Nexus toolkit. Just flash the 4.2.1 stock yakju rom and you will have the update included. This of course assumes that you have a gsm galaxy Nexus. The op for the forum has all the instructions.

Downgrade Procedure

Hello, I have 4.2.1 installed on my Galaxy Nexus (From "[ROM][OTA/AOSP][GSM]Android 4.2.1 JOP40D: Rooted Busybox Deodexed" thread).

Due to the changes in SIM Application Toolkit (SAT menu no longer appears) I need to downgrade back to version 4.1.2

When upgrading to 4.2.1 I also upgrade to the latest radio firmware.

What would be the proper procedure to downgrade to 4.1.2, probably trivial question but searching does not return any results.

I already tried to flash back bigxie_maguro_OTA_JZO54K-signed.zip with wife of cache and dalvik cache, but phone never could finish booting.

Thank you a lot!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
See prior post. Backup all including sd and install the 4.1.2 stock rom which includes a new stock radio. Use the same toolkit. People in that thread can answer specific questions related to the downgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zAlbee:
You are on yakjuxw which is a regional variant that gets its updates from Samsung (i.e. slowly, like all yakjuXX variants). Only yakju and takju get fast updates directly from Google. Flash one of those. Requires unlocking your bootloader which reportedly should not wipe your data if you are careful.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tanner4137:
I have an offer for my AT&T HTC One X and it's a Galaxy Nexus. I've already had the Galaxy Nexus before and actually traded it for this phone. Do you guys think it's worth trading my One X? I'm really missing the development and community of the Galaxy Nexus and curious with Android 4.2. Do you think the features and development of the Galaxy Nexus outweigh the screen and build quality of the One X?

Note: I plan on only keeping the Galaxy Nexus until the Nexus 4 is more readily in stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neovdr:
I think I can give you some insight on that. Go for it! I bought the Gnex a few weeks ago cheap. I had the crappy LG O2X before and I know all too well what it's like to go for powerful hardware and get shafted by software. I am actually going to keep it until Nexus 5 as I'm not keen on buying LG ever again. Plus Google should take the message and stay away from glass backs and non-removable batteries. It is enough that they push cloud storage with no SD...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sui785:
4.2.1 has removed the buttery smoothness from 4.1 so I'm not happy with it. I do love the swipe keyboard though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thunderskain:
Huh?. the buttery smoothness is still there..

In fact, it has gotten smoother IMHO :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kissme99:
I don't know why my GNexus is little buggy. I'm on 4.2.1, it was really smooth for 3 days, but now apps are loading longer. Is it normall?

What can I do for fix it?

If it's known issue just ignore me then.

Thx.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Actually in this case unlocking the bootloader will wipe the entire phone. Only takju phones purchased from Google play store don't wipe on unlock. All other galaxy nexus wipe on unlock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
What are you talking about mate :) ? Butter is still there. It's indeed more stuttering in app drawer, but it's a launcher thing. You will not find this choppiness in trebuchet (cm).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
I don't have anything other than anecdotal, but it seems like 4.2.1 is burning through battery far more quickly than before for screen on applications.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ynrozturk:
Thanks for the reply. Turns out the phone is already unlocked. I assume I have to root it now, then flash it?

Sounds easy enough, I just don't have the slightest clue on how to do it. The toolkit freaks me out for some reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
You can use the one step which is about as easy as it gets but if your uncomfortable don't do it. The kits make it easy but if you don't have a basic understanding of what they are doing then you can get in trouble when things go wrong. If you still want to do it, the place for hand holding is in the thread for the kit. I always suggest making a donation to the op who helps out all he can.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ynrozturk:
Thanks a bunch. I'll give it a try sometime. I really want to learn how to do this stuff, but right now I just can't afford to be without a phone in case something goes wrong. I should try this stuff on my N7 to get a basic understanding on how this stuff works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
I know how you feel. I can't afford to hose my primary phone either. Since I also consider it a hobby I usually buy two and I eventually give one to my wife. She is very content with one that's not bleeding edge when she gets it. It's nice that, at least here in the US, the Nexus have become so affordable.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esilac:
I feel you on the losing your primary phone fear. I just went through unlocking/rooting/flashing a ROM for 4.2.1 and after reading a few threads and receiving some PM replies from kind people here at xda I was able to get it done without any issues. Feel free to PM me for any help, I'd love to contribute back to the community that helped me :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
I agree. But in my case my phone has to be operational all the time and having a spare to play is very easy to justify in my case. Compared to other business expenses it would be foolish for me not to have it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] l_deadeye_l:
4.2.1 did not give me any butter back? Its like 4.2 added project molasses. So much lag on almost everything...

For example when hitting the app switcher button it only reads my second tap to select an app. After further testing it appears that it will read my first tap, but only if you wait 1 second after the previews of running apps are shown. This tells me that it takes 1 second before it is ready to take input from the screen.

I also experience this phenomenon in Ingress which makes it frustrating to play. Taps appear to be unresponsive, but if you wait 1-2 seconds between every tap it seems to register the tap. I am so used to project butter that this step backwards in screen touch responsiveness is highly frustrating.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielvago:
I get frequent screen-on for no apparent reason. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n2rjt:
I get that and battery claiming to be charging since 4.2 and continuing with 4.2.1. The screen comes on because the phone momentarily thinks it is not charging then it is charging again. Are you seeing that or is the screen-on unrelated to charging in your case?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielvago:
Where do you see that it thinks it's charging? In the battery statistics page?

It doesn't show any charging activity in there for me.

I have had the same bad experience after updating to 4.2 and 4.2.1.

GPS taking longer to lock, but mostly terrible lagginess. It was a huge difference from 4.1 which was buttery smooth.

I tried many things, factory resets, factory image, rooting, not rooting, odexed, deodexed, nothing worked.

The last thing I tried was going into Titanium Backup and freezing the following apps: Google Currents, Google Play Movies/Books/Magazines.

This made a huge difference. Lag is 99-100% gone. Anyone else has the same results?

PS. I also using Franco's kernel. Not sure if that's a factor.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SjPedro22:
Well, I got no beef with 4.2.1, although the lockscreen kinda is bit of a letdown...I thought I would be using the multiple lockscreen thing but fact of the matter is that, I don't!

Runs smoothly and no lags,or reboots and the only have 2 issues with:

1 .in debugging mode it deactivates my windows 8 sometimes :P (must be a windows-side bug anyway)

2. Since updating from 4.1 to 4.2.x my bluetooth headset doesn't stay paired with the phone if screen turns off, which is a bummer because I use the bluetooth as my car hands-free calling apparatus if you will and the fact that the phone has to have some sort of activity running for the bluetooth to stay on is a pain
