Upgrade working by clearing cache

Please forgive my posting as this is my first one. After clearing the Data in Google Services Framework located,in settings, apps, all , all of the all day and retrying to aquire the OTA upgrade that stopped on me this morning, I just tried it again for the heck of it before falling asleep and this time when I went to check for upgrade the message said last checked for upgrade in 1969, I clicked the check for upgrade button, received the JDQ39 is available message, clicked download and install and my phone is upgrading 76 components. After a couple of reboots I received "Your device has successfully updated to JDQ39" message in the middle of the screen. PLEASE NOTE: i came across a program called Clean Master while reading and after that did some optimizing, I figured why not try for the OTA files. So I would say delete the Data files as described and then check for the OTA files, if,you do not have any luck try Clean Master which I found under hot apps inside The Dolphin Beta Browser running Jetpack. It can be found directly in the Play Store as well. Thanks to the many posts from earlier today that basically gave me the solution. You guys are the best resource around, I thank you for the countless tips and tricks I have learned from you all....Cheers...Luckybadback
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldnexus:
So far this is the longest I think I've ever waited for an update to come thru after the roll out began. Are the issues I've been seeing wide spread or are folks having bad luck? Like battery, radio 4G/3G reception etc....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rasa11:
Not sure... But my wanderings thru xda make me think it's a bit more widespread than I'm comfortable with. Lol

Still waiting on the update to show itself here. Upstate new York.

For god sakes adb side load the leak! I managed to do it on Windows xp and with a ****ed up USB cable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rasa11:
I'm not that excited for it. lol

Not any more.

I know it's not difficult to sideload something. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
The reward is better then the risk. 4.2.2 runs better on my nexus then 4.1.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldnexus:
Maybe there's an off chance some of us don't want to side load it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donnyp1:
I believe he has a total stock rom now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joqsan:
there plenty of stock 4.2 roms out there just gotta find the right one for you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
Purpose of this thread is not finding an unofficial ROM, but looking out for the official Google (Verizon tested) 4.2.x update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AmericanCon:
Not sure why there are so many of these types of threads. We all know how VZW operates. It will be released when it is on your phone. Anything else is pure speculation.

If you want it now, flash a custom ROM. If you want it official, don't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
Please point me to the "other" threads as you say there are so many. This is the only one I've come across for 4.2 on Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AmericanCon:
Whoa dude, relax. I meant in general. As in all of xda. Pretty much every phone that is capable of running 4.2 has one of these threads. And i did see at least one other on the Q&A section.

Also, this question comes up with every release Google puts out, hence why i said "so many of these types of threads".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LinuxScouser:
My initial thoughts were that an OTA would be offered in January but I'm thinking the more realistic timeframe is February to March.

I've not bothered anymore though and I'm currently running MMuzzy's new vanilla ROM with tiny kernel on top. I'm very happy with that.

at the same time they re-enable google wallet? :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackrk:
So I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but here goes nothing...

I bought this phone with thoughts that it would have instant updates to the newest version of android. You know, what a nexus is all about. I also knew that should I want to, I can root & rom it. I didn't think I would *need* to do that to get an update in a reasonable (which to me in within 7 days) amount of time. Verizon to me has totally screwed up this phone and everything that a nexus is. I might be pessimistic, but I'd be surprised if this phone got 4.2.1. I'm on the band wagon with others of ditching verizon after my contract is up. I'll buy my nexus directly from google, off contract, and get my updates directly from them.

Not going to lie, I am a bit "jelly" that apple users don't seem to have these issues with verizon. Granted I've never owned an apple device, so I'm just going on my hearsay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
A great use for this thread would be to share new information regarding this update - leaked OTAs, inside information leaks, etc. - useful information for those waiting. What is not useful - ranting about slow updates (yeah we get it, we've been playing this game for a year now, there will be delays), ongoing "why don't you just flash a custom ROM?" (arguments have already been made in multiple threads why some of us choose not), and "it's not really a Nexus" (it is, and been argued in many threads).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
I'm with ya on that,Verizon should make apple follow the same procedure for their updates as android
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
There have been reports that Apple is subject to the same approval process with carriers. The thing is, while Google releases updates in stages to devices as the carriers approve them, Apple waits until they have approval from all carriers, then releases the same update for all carriers all at once. I'm not sure how true that is, but I've read that in numerous places.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] curley1441:
MMuzzy all the way better battery life than stock for me .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhand1001:
They had it about 30 minutes after release during google IO lol. Most people hadn;t even finished downloading the official build to there gsm nexus's.

As far as 4.2, I wouldn't blame verizon for not pushing 4.2 out. In its stock form it really should have been pushed out to any devices. There are a lot of issues that still need to ironed out before they should have released it and it offers very little over 4.1 to even be worth the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PoohBears:
I was on full stock until this weekend...I lost faith in Verizon pushing anything newer so I finally rooted and flashed MMuzzy's 4.2.1 ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcmm11:
I don't think that Verizon will push 4.2.1

4.2.2 will be out late this month or early next month. I suspect that Verizon will eventually push that. So best guess would be April.

Mmuzzy is the solution, and he does now have a stock version (vanilla). Although the slightly tweaked version(French vanilla) is a joy to run.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackrk:
Just wondering, for those of you who are frustrated by the slowness of Verizon and plan on leaving them due to it, which carrier are you planning on going to? While it pisses me off, the LTE coverage by them is amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Marisa:
Personally I'm looking at T-Mobile. Their cell coverage is exceptional, though it doesn't penetrate buildings very well. They're going all in on unsubsidized phones. Their HSPA+ won't leave you missing LTE too much. Cheap prices are always a plus. Great customer support, also very fast with their Twitter support.

T-Mo also seems to be attempting to keep moving forward at a brisk pace. While they don't yet have LTE rolling out, they seem eager to keep expanding their coverage and keeping things running smoothly.

Like a lot of Verizon users, I'm riding out my unlimited data and jumping ship after my contract is up. After that I'll check the market again, but for the moment, I'm definitely looking at T-Mo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
I actually left T-Mobile almost a year ago after being a customer for 10 years. Their neutering of unlimited data roaming was a deal breaker for me. I travel frequently to an area of eastern Kentucky where T-Mobile has no service and probably never will have service. When I'm there, my phone would roam on AT&T and I'd have unlimited data roaming (albeit EDGE only since AT&T and T-Mo use different 3G frequencies). Then in February of last year, they decided that they were going to cap my unlimited data roaming at 100 MB and didn't even allow me the option of going over and purchasing more. Once I reached 100 MB, my data was cut off, period, the end.

That was absolutely unacceptable for me, so I moved to Verizon. You pay a little more for it but they have coverage absolutely everywhere and the data speeds are almost always decent, even on 3G.

My wife's phone got the ota notice last night - central Louisiana - Whats funny is it came thru while I was getting things backed up cuz she finally broke down and let me root it and install cm 10.1.

So far so good! Lol :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ohiostyle:
Ugh...

So I sideloaded the leak over a week ago, and not only does my battery life seem worse, the radio's are without a doubt worse. In any building or even in my pocket outside 0 bars 3g! Outdoors, fully exposed, I might hint at 4g. I hope something just fudged right now, and a fresh wipe will correct it, or else I'll be unlocking and flashing the previous radios. BTW does anyone know if this is possible, can 4.2.2 be kept and the last radio files be flashed? Would it be buggy?

I've never complained in any public forum about the radios or battery life, they were always subpar but the value of a 'Nexus' even on VZW made it worth it. But at this point i have virtually no mobile data available and it's nearly unusable at this point. I haven't seen a single other post of this nature (at least related to this new set of radios) so I'm hoping somethings just hosed. Any thoughts? Anyone else having these issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
I bailed on the phone months ago. I've had mine since launch day and I just couldn't take it anymore. Reception on this phone is horrible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rasa11:
I don't know what hole you guys live in but my reception is great. Lol Pretty much everywhere. Wifi, data. Phone... No problems with any of it.

You can go to the development forum and the radios sticky has a bunch of the older radios. I flashed one of the older ICS radios and like it better. You can flash radios separately.

Just do a nandroid in case you want to go back.

SCH-i905, Galaxy Nexus and RAZR.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vulturesrow:
Since I'm only rooted ie not running any custom ROMs I should be able to apply the ota update directly, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnhimm:
Maybe you need to re-flash, the new radios have made a big difference for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Yes as long as you haven't modified anything on the /system partition and you're running the stock kernel. Applying the OTA will make you lose root so you'll have to root again after applying it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xanadu1979:
Now it's us Sprint users' turn to complain about lack of updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mkhang:

You can install ota Root keeper from the market and save root before updating via OTA and then just run root keeper to restore root after.

OTA arrived here last night. So far so good. Signal bars dropped tho.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vhgomez36:
May I ask where here is?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] openwheelracing:
I see better battery life. Am I dreaming here or is anyone else seeing the same?

Also slight faster navigation lock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diobando:
Battery life is better IMO
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldnexus:
So far no change in battery life for me, but It's been only a few hours. Curious to see if there are any signal issues when I'm out and about tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
Anyone know how to get the nexus out of USB charging mode and into ac
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnhimm:
I see the same as above, finally.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldnexus:
Seeing some improvement on the battery. Overall seeing a drastic improvent in the data signals.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ntb81:
Has anybody noticed an improvement in signal after initially seeing signal get worse? I was really disappointed for a week or so after I flashed the new radios. Dbms were mostly the same as they had been at work and at home, but I was losing data way more often then before and switching 3G/4G was almost as bad as it was on 4.04. Then for some reason, over the past couple of days, it's all gotten remarkably better and I'd say it's now better than the 4.1.1 radios. No prl change during this time and no service disruptions and I live in the middle of Chicago, so we've got great LTE coverage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] az.dsrt:
Same experience here. I flashed 4.2.2 from mwalt's leak/stock build, was initially disappointed with both the signal and battery life. I was determined to give it a couple of days as I didn't want to go back to 4.1.1. Not sure what changed, but signal and battery life settled down to about the same as 4.1.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
OK I fixed my charge issue. Like 10 ago I read an article from AC. Appearantly there is battery drain issue for us VZW 4.2 Users. And a factory reset solves the problem for a large amount of people . I did it :( but fortunately it ac charges now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2ksilverbullet:
My battery life is much better, I think the phone is actually going to sleep when it's off now. My true test is when I'm back in NYC. The signal in midtown is murderous to this phone...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GlassNex:
Anyone from Iowa, specifically southwest Iowa? The signal is good for the area but the GPS takes an extremely long time to get a lock. Anyone else experiencing this?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I'm sure I'm late on this but I didn't see it in the past few posts..

AC is recommending VZW users do a factory reset after updating to 4.2.2.

I did do a factory reset when I first went to 4.2.2 (CM), so maybe that's why I haven't had any of the problems others are experiencing. Anyways, thought I'd share.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rasa11:
I haven't had any of the problems either.

I've only had the phone for about a month though, and it was factory reset right before and after I got it, so there wasn't much on there.

I was admittedly pretty worried about things going wrong after all I'd read though. Lol

Is anyone out there not rooted/completely stock that's gotten the 4.2.2 update? My dad got his update a few days ago and ever since then the Google play store errors when updating apps. I tried wiping the play store cache and such and I can't get it working. Just wondering if it's an update problem or something different. Thanks.

" easy way was clear Google play in settings data. Then power off phone then power on phone go into Google talk log out and log in and it worked. Got that from Google rep"

The person it was meant for replied back that it worked perfectly..

A few years ago I was working in Sioux Center Ia and was roaming on Verizon with a different phone. When I first opened maps, it would report me as being on the eastern side of Iowa, until GPS locked. To test and see if the towers near you have the same issue as around Sioux Center, turn off your wifi and gps, but leave mobile network location on. Then open Maps and see if the location it thinks you're in is anywhere near your real location. My location was hundreds of miles off when I did this a few years ago. I think the phone uses the network location to help lock the GPS, so if the network location is completely wrong, the phone can't use shortcuts to establish a lock. This is all a theory, I'm not really sure if or how the network helps establish a GPS lock.

If the tower location is way off, you could try either shutting off wifi and mobile network location and see if that speeds up lock times, or leave wifi and mobile network location on and have your wifi turned on (doesn't need to be connected, just on and near access points) and see if it locks faster. WiFi based location seems to get a fairly accurate location faster than the GPS can lock, but is not as accurate as a GPS lock.

Let me know if this helped or not if you try it.

Anyone having issues with Bluetooth pairing? Seems like I have to toggle Bluetooth on and off to get a connection at least half of the time. Routinely between 2 vehicles and a Bluetooth enabled home phone, never an issue with 4.1.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FrayAdjacent:
Anyone figure out how to root it yet? (YES, I've searched the dev forum, haven't found anything yet.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnhimm:
Use Wugfresh root toolkit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shiznu:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
Or check the stickies at the top of the Q&A section and do it correctly (manually).

FrayAdjacent: The process hasn't changed over multiple versions of Android. You must not have searched too hard. Also, I'm not sure why you would be checking the dev section. Rooting a phone isn't really development.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
I know this thread is barren right now. But is anyone having an issue with connectivity in new locations. I asked because I moved recently like 10 min away from my old and have had constant WiFi drops and network issues. And just had to do a factory reset to curb the problem.

I'm enjoying Muzzy but seeing significant lower battery life than I was seeing on Bugless Beast 4.1.2. it also has little quirks that drive me crazy sometimes but that is more likely app related since many apps are still trying to get their code fixed so it plays nice with 4.2.

I'm seriously debating on dropping back to BB 4.1.2..

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

I still have unlimited data with VZW so no plan on leaving anytime soon. My options for switching are limited. In my area the only other 4G network is US Cellular and their speed is about 75% of VZW's LTE and software updates are even slower.

The power of unlimited data is also understood by my daughter, she has a iFail4 and wants the latest iFail5 but doesn't want to lose unlimited data. Not bad for an 18 yr old.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnhimm:
T Mobile all the way especially since they are getting rid of contracts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackrk:
Totally off-topic, but I'm in your **exact** same boat. Got tired of waiting for BB 4.2, so I jumped and went from BB 4.1.2 to MMuzzy 4.2.1. I now get between 2 and 5 hours less battery time on a single charge. I've been strongly considering jumping back to my backed up BB4.1.2, but I've been reading that jumping backwards is a major PITA after the 4.2 folder structure change. I can't post in that forum yet due to the lack of posts, but I've been talking to a few of the people via PM. I'm not sure if it's a kernel thing or just the rom itself. I thought it was me at first, but multiple people have had the same issue. I think I'll try Tiny's kernel as a last ditch effort before I totally jump ship.

Things I've done:

-Full wipe using the script, then manually doing it again, then installing the rom

-Dalvik and cache wipe post-install of rom

-reflash mmuzzy's kernel, then dalvik & cache wipe & fix permissions.

On-Topic discussion:

While T-mo is interesting, I'm a bit iffy with going with one of the smaller companies. I don't travel to too rural of areas, but I do go from Minneapolis to Green Bay on a somewhat regular basis. I've been considering AT&T but I think I'd hate myself for that from the horror stories I've heard. Personally I'm very interested in that Dish Network/Google wireless deal that is in the works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donnyp1:
No way i can change carriers, i work in rural areas every week. Ive had agents in my car who use att n tmo,, sprint, an they have to borrow my phone. I am also yet to have any issues with 4.2.1. Ive found roms i didnt like, but they always work. Im on evolution now and its simply amazing. No way id flash backwards. Makes as much sense as changing carriers to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sytheii:
after i received the 4.1.1 ota from verizon, my bluetooth has been on the fritz, seriously, and i thought perhaps rooting, and putting muzzy's 4.2 would fix it. it didn't. although i really like it, the lack of stable a2dp bluetooth is seriously whack. also...the virt. keyboard seems to like to pop up(refresh?) randomly, and at other times it just takes a bit to go away, like returning to the home screen. hopefully after i reach 10 posts i can query about these things.
