i flashed bigxies aosp factory image of 4.2 .. coming from cna 3.8 (4..1.2) and trust me with a clean flash not a single issue ! runs beautifully .. yea it stutters a lil when clearing an app frm recents menu but else its awsome :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
While the AOSP team handles creating the images, they are actually not AOSP images. They are factory images, which are completely different.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinkdrain:
I am very upset. I just installed a Bluetooth audio device in my car and used car home ultra. I was very happy wit safer setup and the sound quality. Then 4.2 happened!

Bluetooth audio sounds muted and clips now almost like the stream is being squeezed

Car home Dock apps won't work now and the developer says only Google can fix it for those with 4.2

With all the Bluetooth speakers hitting the market this is a major flaw on Google's end. I doubt an update will come soon enough. Grrrrrrr
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GldRush98:
They broke the url bar in the stock browser.

It no longer-auto hides when scrolling down a page.

Super ****in annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chronophase1:
^If it's really that big of a deal, turn on the quick controls in the labs section in settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GldRush98:
Oh, just noticed that the lock screen does not lock the volume keys.

What the ****?

What's the point of a lock screen if it doesn't look the phone?

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

I hate the quick controls feature. Unintuitive and clumsy.

Oh yeah, and it put a horrid black bar with squiggly blue line half way across the top.

4.2 is buggy as hell.

This was what the page looked like... fully done loading:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] negrobembon:
As soon as i get 4.2 im switching to chrome
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GldRush98:
Slow, laggy, doesn't support flash.

Chrome is a non-starter for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spielnicht:
Is it just me or did Google exclude Project Butter from 4.2? My stock GNex is laggy as heck.

Launcher FCs at least once a day. Signal is in and out all day.

Funk this, I'm getting an iPhone 5 instead...ya right. But seriously, get on a patch quick Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Mine works great. No slower than 4.1.x.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegios:
no that' not enougj
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhand1001:
Why would you want to delete it anyway. Chrome is terrible, use the stock browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Seriously Ponies?:
I started getting random black-screen locks on 4.2. holding down the power button causes a vibration, but the screen never turns on, and the phone doesn't turn off.

Have to pull the battery for it to restart.

That is the final straw for me with 4.2. I restored back to 4.1.2.

/did google even test this release?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] likebutta:
Anyone else having a issue where during a call?

If you had to bring up the dial pad to go through a menu for example, and despite the proximity sensor having shut off the screen, my cheek is still randomly setting off keys?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rodmc123:
my url bar does autohide.. you have to go config->labs and check the fullscreen option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shugo88:
Oh wow, I didn't even notice this until you bought it up. I checked my phone and yep, it's missing. I only have the camera lag when switching from portrait to landscape mode and the day thing. I wonder if Google will even issue a patch for this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chronophase1:
That's funny. Mine is perfectly fine. And I added another screenshot with both lab options enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] retskrad:
Android 4.2 is full of lags, everywhere from unlocking the screen to recent app list and all over the OS.

Doesn't Google test their updates? What a shame, really.

Nexus phone owners = lab rats?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rodmc123:
the only lag i've noticed is when i rotate the phone in the camera app. it takes a second...

but i don't have any other lag in apps, lock screen, recent app, etc

most of the people with issues flashed the AOSP stock 4.2.. i flashed 4.1.2 and then updated to 4.2 from about phone->updates and i have not experienced any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chronophase1:
It would be nice if they would say which version of it they're actually on so we could weed the issues out a little better. But isn't the AOSP pretty much what the OTA is? Or is there more(or less) to one or the other?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rodmc123:
i dont know.. i just noticed that all the people with issues flashed the AOSP 4.2...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Raijin:
I installed the takju 4.2 factory image and I had lots of lag. Half a second from press power button to see the CRT animation. Lag unlocking, lag entering recent list, lag closing apps and lag exiting recent list.

And that messed up lock screen, his clock and widgets, and the analog clock widget I liked to have in homescreen like stock is ****ed up converted in a solid circle ugly and not discreet. The notification bar without the week day in the top is empty. The clock app does not need red colors.

Back to 4.1.2 with gesture keyboard mod, the only good thing of this update. I understand Google's policy, renew or die, but if something is awesome, don't mess up it by converting it to ugly and laggy things. They started ****ing up the perfect ICS style in JB, and I see they will continue in each update. At least give us the option to customize.

And add an option to disable the annoying update notification, I have closed it too many times from a while. ****, I loved Android two days ago and I'm starting to hate it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
4.2 stock browser sometimes force closes for me, still have lag issues worse now than before an some live wallpapers lag like crazy on 4.2, also a lot of playstore apps are yet to be updated to work properly with jellybean 4.2 but other than that its ok, the battery life seems a lot better on 4.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wcooley:
I'm seeing the problem w/Amazon Appstore not saving my auth, which especially sucks for many of the FAOTD that depend on it.

I'm also having problems w/Superuser not working; reinstalled after update from CWM 5.5.0.2 recovery, although su from term or adb works. I've seen a Java stack trace in logs but not yet investigated.

Battery life also seems diminished, but maybe that's a change of my habits due to daylight savings.

Installed the factory image over fastboot all but user data, and wiped cache. Now that I think about it, might've wiped cache after system flash but before flashing boot & recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
Don't use superuser get supersu instead, its been mentioned numourous times that you need supersu for jellybean 4.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] natesiy:
I'm having an issue with my screen turning on when the phone is locked. I haven't been able to pin it down to any particular app, or if it's just the OS itself, but I just flashed a fresh factory image and it's still doing it.

The screen will just turn on randomly and wait on the lock screen for input. If my leg doesn't make contact with it in my pocket, it'll just shut off at the default time, but sometimes it does make contact and it keeps on staying on.

Anyone else having this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axtn95:
Has NOONE noticed the lower framerate/lag in putting the phone to sleep/the animation!? Or is it just me? Please let me know guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vbauer86:
same as lg4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axtn95:
? U mean the Nexus 4? Ahh, it's gna be unusable if it is anythng like it is on my gnex, so slooooooow, crt animation along with the whole phone is slow
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shintze:
After much thought, because of the multiple complaints, I went ahead and did a fresh install of 4.2, re-installed all apps, re-copied all my data.

And got to say that except for the cam rotation annoyance, everything else is working perfect and smooth. (no bluetooth issues, no lag after doing a reboot, etc.)

In other words, I may have been lucky, but don't be afraid to update because of all the complaints.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wuodland:
Anyone else feeling a slight lag when clicking lock button and till the screen actually locks?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stegg:
so, i made a full-wipe and here are my 2 troubles:

1) no app is able anymore to set airplane mode, eg timerrific, beautiful widgets' wifi widget

2) the lag in camera rotating is annoying

besides of these, 4.2 is a keeper :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrkelley14:
I don't know if this is the place for this comment. I just did a clean install of mmuzzy's aosp ROM last night and I've had no trouble with it today. Camera app seems to work great, and I really like all the 4.2 features. I've been a heavy user of aokp with all its customizations but 4.2 fills in a lot of wholes in the original 4.0 and 4.1 stock features, I might just be 'stock' like this for a while. BTW, I have been running trinity alpha 4 kernel the second half of the day because I like the color settings better (and I read good reports of stable running with mmuzzy).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Raijin:
Me, read my post before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
The volume keys have worked when the screen is locked for as long as I can remember in Android. And it's a good thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chronophase1:
No, he means the notification sounds I believe. You can control the music volume on the lock screen, but not the actual system volume.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] roadrunnerx7:
Why would i wipe? Im not rooted... Its all stock since i got the phone from ics to jb to this, all have been OTA updates. In all the other updates ive never had problems like im having with 4.2. For one thing i never really got fc's, but now i get them at least once or twice a day. This update has been really bad on my phone.

Thats good for you. But its pretty dumb to think just because you have zero issues it means everybody should have zero issues. You must think everyone having issues has "10yr old user error syndrome"(whatever that is). Seems like your the one thinking like a 10yr old. Clearly, many people are having issues of varying degrees. And since this thread is about posting issues and not "zero" issues, then i posted here. Along with a rant since i was pissed off at the time lol.

Only update if you really think the new features with 4.2 are worth it. Otherwise your taking the risk of being one of us stuck with a crappy update. If i knew my phone would become this crappy by 4.2 i wouldnt have updated. Photosphere is really nice and so is the new keyboard functionality, but its not worth losing many of the other smooth functions IMO.

Add another issue to the list:

Today i got 3 system UI fc's. And the second one changed my wallpaper back to default. it happened in direct relation to the laggy multiple app switching screen...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chronophase1:
You can always revert back to 4.1.2 if you're not happy with 4.2(which I'm sure you already knew).

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

I was having issues withe GPS on the stock image and Picasa was giving me FCs for some reason. I found a zip for a fix but it wouldn't flash via recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] roadrunnerx7:
Thank you. But dont you need root to do this? My phone isnt rooted atm. I purposely didnt root it because when i had the g1 and g2, i rooted both of those but it was a bit time consuming compared to just being on all stock. So i decided to not root the gnex...

But hows the stability in your experience with rooting? Im thinking about rooting now.. I cant stand this update
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chronophase1:
You just need fastboot and the SDK I believe. All of it is available from there and the instructions are there too(but if you rooted your last 2 phones, you should still be good). It took me less than 5 minutes to root this phone since I had all the stuff from when I first rooted my G2. I usually run the official image with root and a custom kernel. Never had an issue. Cyanogenmod has never let me down. I'd at least do some reading up on it. Since it's a Nexus, it's much easier. Just noticed you also had the same phones I did. haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reeebo:
Not sure if this has been happening to anyone else, but for some reason the GPS lady seems to be on crack. She speaks super fast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyijedi:
It's certainly not a "feature." In GMail, it gives you the option to set Vibrate to "Never," yet it still vibrates. It's really annoying, as I like to have my SMS vibrate while at work, but not have my GMail vibrate. Friggin' Google is getting really sloppy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fabrizziop:
Is anyone having only one bar of GSM/WCDMA signal until they unlock their phones, then they become 3 or 4 bars?. It happens to me a lot. Data is disconnected once in a while, too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Screw flash.

+1, rather until the screen actually turns off.

I've flashed takju/factory images, and I've seen more good than bad.

Sent from my i9250
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] odLott:
Noticed that too, it's very strange. What will also happen is that the wifi and cell indicator turn grey, which I believe indicates sync problems.

Also, had 2 soft reboots since I've installed 4.3. Never had any before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernalMan:
i lost my usb storage after flashing cwm 6.0.1.4

can i get it back with flashing factory image ?? :(

edit : i'm on stock takju jop40c 4.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dejziix:
you can find in /0 in cwm

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

I have a problem same OP

and sometime Proximity sensor crash :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] roadrunnerx7:
I might hold off on changing 4.2 myself... I just read on android police, theres a bug in android 4.2 everybody has:

December doesnt exist in the People app! You gotta read the comments section on that article... Its hilarious! One says google single handedly saved us from the mayan calender thing by removing the month of december lol

Anyway it also says google acknowledged the error, so who knows maybe theyre aware of other issues and will release a version 4.2.1 soon?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghettojack:
Wouldnt say it was as bad as an apple move.... For me I can definitely tell its not as stable as 4.1.2 and its a little less smooth for me but you gotta remember these small issues will be fixed in an update soon to come! I'm just enjoying the new features! Look on the brightside guys its infinitely times better than the ios 6 update which was a FAAAAAAAAAAIL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
I've been reading about the 4.2 update for days now and I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to wait until they fix it with a 4.2.x update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghettojack:
Its not that bad but youd probably be smart too just in case
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
I know its not a disaster, but people seem to be much less content with this update than the 4.1.1 update and there's not a lot of compelling features so I will just sit this one out until hotfixes are pushed out by Google which from the looks of it, will probably happen by the end of the year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] roadrunnerx7:
True... I may have said things i didnt really mean during my now apparently infamous rant hahahaha. Ill edit. But yes thank goodness we dont have iOS..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
Another good reason to be on takju as we will get yet another update first while yakju still waits.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OferR:
As a yakju proud owner, all I can say is that Google has spared us from this 4.2 update.

We'll get it once the takju testers have found all the bugs and Google has fixed them ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foghelmut:
I'm having an issue where Google Talk force closes when I try to launch a video chat. I don't know if this is a 4.2 issue in particular because I'm not sure that I have tried to do it before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k1nca:
anyone missing sim toolkit like mine? i came to this 4.2 by flashing factory image.

i see stk.apk and stk.odex in /system/app/ but this thing is not in my drawer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chronophase1:
Lol. Good thing it takes 5 minutes for us to flash a stock image of 4.1.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OferR:
And 6 minutes to flash takju on top of yakju. If we wanted to, that is... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rockhwd:
i notice that the free ram of 4.2 is much less than 4.1...

4.1 always maintain at around 300mb free ram, the lowest i notice is 250mb

4.2 can go down to 150mb...i believe the way the OS handle the ram is different and cause galaxy nexus more lag than 4.1

and it may because 4.2 is optimized for nexus 4 which has 2g ram...:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinkXDA:
While 4.2 might have more lag, it’s not related to more RAM usage. Free RAM is wasted RAM so, ideally, Android should be using as much RAM as possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _anony:
4.2 seems awful so far.

tethering is completely broken, waking the phone up is now buggy, slow, and generally problematic (lockscreen disabled, not sure if it's the same with the lock screen)

trying to "paste" text into a text input box in Chrome is now impossible because a long press now causes some kind of infuriating auto-zoom which promptly clears the "paste" button from the screen

text is randomly deleted and the text input cursor jumps wildly when pressing the backspace key

I can't seem to save images from e-mails anymore (the "save" option is always greyed out)

the gallery crashes when I click in a certain spot on the screen (button with three circles?)

This is about the most annoying sequence of bugs I can imagine. Android 4.2 added zero useful features apart from Swype, which I could have gotten from the market anyway. Kind of absurd to push this unpolished nonsense OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MerkurMan:
Had my GNex plugged in to my laptop charging, with the digital clock Daydream running, and I noticed a message that "fused location" had stopped. Any idea what this is? Maybe it explains why Google Services have been eating 15-20% of battery since 4.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scottyb0721:
Nothing but issues with stock OTA 4.2 on my phone. Phone randomly reboots a few times a day and I have completely lost mobile data twice. These are just the major bugs I have had. Annoyances are the lock screen when listening to music used to show big album art and buttons, but now it is squished into a little box and looks horrible, some Bluetooth cutting out issues, some lagginess, battery life is worse. Only thing I like about 4.2 is the email auto formatting to fit screen with pinch to zoom. Prob gonna be going back to 4.1.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mrbigshot:
I've been having some issues too, mostly what everyone else is saying, but the one that bothers me the most is the keyboard lag in text messing. I will be typing and the keyboard either can keep up with me or just freezes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoosDiagramm:
Exactly. If anything, unnecessary RAM cleanups slow the system down and cause more lag.

The list of changes lists garbage collection optimizations at the bottom: http://developer.android.com/about/versions/jelly-bean.html

They probably just made it less aggressive to cause less background processing and less performance hiccups.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsswga:
Wow..I've had no issues....hope you find the problem.. I luv my g-nex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] illinoissparks18:
Had no issues as well. Good battery too. Not much lag except on recent apps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thered1:
How are you upgrading to 4.2? Custom ROMs? I use mmuzzy's ASOP.

I heard there was a bad sdcard mounting issue because of the new multiuser feature (which doesnt even work for phones). I think it was a Clockwordmod issue and that has been updated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bobulus:
Had a weird bluetooth issue since updating to 4.2 that I assume is related to the new stack.

I use bluetooth headphones with AVCTP controls (play/pause) on a regular basic with my phone. My observation is that, freshly connected, the bluetooth protocols work as intended, playing/pausing, etc.

But if I connect, pause, and let the phone sit long enough (probably something to do with sleep), then hitting play again will freeze up the phone or crash the media-playing app. First time I've had to pull the battery in my gnex since getting it.

I'm positive it's the bluetooth protocols doing this, because in one instance of this happening, the phone was frozen up enough that the screen on/off button refused to work. Turning off the BT headphones released the protocols, and the screen immediately turned on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cadiutori:
The same problems

Im so depressed thinking about the wonderful 4.1.2!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fulanito01:
I have learned my lesson. This is the absolute last time I do an OTA update without letting someone else be the guinea pig first. I have the very obnoxious screen wake bug (turns on about every 5 mins and half the time i don't even have a new notification). Pandora fails to restore sound to normal levels after a notification sound (music stays hushed), and battery life is atrocious (probably related to screen wake issue). Used to be able to run pandora all day at work and get home with juice to spare...now phone is dead before i'm out of the parking lot.

If I knew a painless way to rollback my stock/unrooted gnex to 4.1.2, I would have done it already. The minor additions have not been worth this headache.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
This may be the first time I'm glad I have a VZW Gnex rather than a GSM Gnex. I'm running JellyBelly 10.0 and the only major issue I have with 4.2 is gmail. Even though I have gmail set to not vibrate with every notification, it still does. It also plays sound when not on vibrate/silent.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gcutter:
FYI - I use the headphones a lot and was having the problem with my S3 on Liquid Smooth RC5 Notifications were playing through both speaker and headphones when headphones are plugged in. I read somewhere to install Market App SoundAbout and it has fixed my problem. I can actually hear a text message come in while wearing my headphones while i am running my everyday 5 mile run.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mbonus:
Specifically g movies, magazines, and books. It will cause a security error on reboot.

You are forewarned.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kchino:
I purchased the N4 today from T-Mobile and upon restoring my apps I noticed that there were at least 6-7 updates for different Google apps, Google Voice being one of them. I was happy to see that considering that folks who already had the N4 reported it being broken on 4.2 and I don't pay for a text messaging plan with GV. I ported my number to GV a few years ago and while I love the flexibility there have always been some bugs depending on the device and build and a lack of updates that make it less than perfect.

After setting it up which happened without any errors or crashes I was pleasantly surprised upon my first incoming text message and clicking the notification to find that I could see an android emoji which the native voice app doesn't support. Also the threaded conversation looked different and then I realized.... texts were coming through the default messaging app as opposed to GV. Fired off some new messages and some replies and sure enough recipients were seeing my GV # as opposed to my sim #! Opened GV and found the each new outgoing and incoming message there as well.

Can any other GV users confirm this?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robert_W:
I use GV for texts as well. This would be a great concern if it send through the standard SMS app/Cell number. Once i receive my gnex i will be testing this
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadBoyNDSU:
If you look at the notes for the GV app in the Play Store, it mentions this.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kchino:
I'm in the US and under what's new it list:

Bugfixes.

Now integrated with Android 4.0 visual voicemail.

Direct access to folders from the inbox in Android 4.0

It doesn't make any mention of what I'm describing about the default messaging app. If you're using GV to avoid paying for a text message plan and are incurring charges because of this new change you'd want to know. In the US we get charged for incoming and outgoing.
