the beauty about #nexus is that ROM doesn't have any customization which in a lot cases causing instability for every day use, so I'd rather use stock ROM, but back to my HTC Thunderbolt days, I couldn't stand stock so I went w/ CM7 and I _LOVED_ it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
There are other threads in this forum on this exact topic. What will be helpful is if/when someone happens to get an OTA update notice is to pull the update url and share.

Since the Sprint version has leaked, Verizon should be close behind. Sucks to be last, but their coverage is outstanding. Also note that the Sprint build is the same numbering as all other 4.2.1 builds (JOP40D), which means nothing was changed from the Google development. Usually the last letter changes with the CDMA ROMs because of various carrier change requests. Hopefully this means a little quicker release for Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
I have to agree with Esteway.619. As nice as it would be for Verizon to keep the Galaxy Nexus updated in a timely manner, we cant rely on them to do that. They dont listen. Trust me, I am coming from a phone that was stuck on GB and people bugged the hell out of them to update but nothing will ever come from it. We had to rely on an awesome developer to give us CM9 and CM10. The reason I wanted the Galaxy Nexus is so I could have the latest update even if Verizon doesn't update it for us. This phone will have support from the community for a long time and the community is who I rely on. Not Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
Exactly

When its a work phone I don't think rooting is in my best interest. :D

Pretty sure CM lets you turn root off with a simple setting, but I haven't used that feature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robogoflow:
Just another thing I have to point out. I know with sprint this is correct but almost 90% sure with Verizon but when you got "fooled" by vzw, you actually didn't. They stated that your phone will receive android updates first and you did. When you look at the Verizon roster of devices 4.1.1 came to gnex first and even big name, newer phones like droid RAZR maxx HD and galaxy s 3 received jellybean way after the gnex so you got it first, on Verizon time. They held up their end and their newest powerhouse droid DNA is running 4.1.1 which the gnex will get before because since it takes months for Verizon to inject their tracking software(not true but explains why they take 4 months for a update) they started on gnex before DNA so you guys will be fine.

If you honestly thought that two years down the road with a gnex that you will be getting updates first when every year they release a new update with a new device that is unreasonable because they have to sell the new device first to draw newer customers then take care of existing customers, but vzw isn't a mom and pop company so 1 month of waiting for an update should be the new system to keep all sides happy.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ProDriver77:
I've been following this from time to time as well. To be honest, I'm really not concerned at this point as to when VZW drops 4.2 update. It has a few features that seem inviting, but the current 4.1 stock ROM has been flawless so far.

When I had my Epic 4G on Sprint, rooting and installing a custom ROM was normal protocol just to have a stable and usable phone. With this phone, everything has worked right out of the box, save for the dropped call issues which seem to have been corrected with the most recent radio update.

From my understanding, the prolonged delays have to do with VZW's strict quality control standards for software and them wanting no bugs whatsoever. I've heard 4.2's inital release had some issues at the start, so I'd rather wait for the "good stuff".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
Well,coming from a Dinc 1 with latest update making the phone reboot, freeze, do lots of force close on apps. I'm not to sure its quality and bug free Verizon's testing. I think their testing to see how many bugs they can get away with without too many complaints from customers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DertyDOH:
you don't get a dev phone like the Nexus to take OTA's
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ezeuba:
lol dude...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
This is the most reoccurring thread ever. Every single point release since I got mine.... I guess it's good to vent but it does zero good to call or anything else. The radios are as good as they'll get too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
But as a nexus we're supposed to receive the latest and greatest from Android. The note 2 has a higher version of jelly bean then we do. Last time I checked that wasn't a nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
Show me in your Verizon contract that you are guaranteed every update and I'll agree. This is probably why the Nexus 4 isn't CDMA at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
Its not in the contract and I agree with on why the nexus 4 isn't on Verizon. However, a nexus is pure android and from my understanding is supposed to receive updates before skinned androids like the note 2 and RAZR series
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I know how you feel, I plan to dump Verizon when my contract ends. I'm gonna go prepaid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
The unlocked nexus that you buy from Google gets all the latest updates on time because Google is in control of the updates. When you buy from a carrier (in this case, Verizon), they control when we get updates. And Verizon is slow with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
I own the Verizon Galaxy Nexus and have yet to be on an old version of Android for more than a week. Yes I have to root my device but with everything else technological if it doesn't come with what I need I take things into my own hands. The video card I bought a couple weeks ago works just fine but to get better performance I overclocked it.

There is nothing wrong with rooting a device and there is nothing wrong with being on an older version of Android (Especially when it is stock Android) but if you have a problem with it then root and install a custom ROM. Whining about it will get you no where. Enjoy the fact that you actually have the option to be running the latest as a lot of phones that we released last year are just getting upgraded to 4.1.2 and may never hit 4.2.1. And if you don't like rooting then deal with it however you want, call Verizon, post here, but unless you root it, or wait for the OTA nothing is going to change just by posting a thread here.

I was on stock for sometime once i got the phone in novemeber but once i started going thru the forums and seeing what features and sheer displays of the customization of the device..i couldnt stay away
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
When JB first came out all us VZW people only had the ICS radios/baseband, and reception suffered because of it. That was no placebo. There is a valid reason why we want the updated radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
The 4.1 radios solved some the issues that came with ICS but every now and then they rear their ugly head for me. Especially during phone calls. updated radios I'm hoping will solve the problems completely.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] turdbogls:
I though they were both on 4.1.1. been so long since i took an OTA that i can't even keep track of where this phone is update wise.

and, if it were up to Google, we would be on 4.2.1 just like all other nexus', but in this case, it isn't up to google, its up to verizon. Why that is, i will never know. Google as just as much, if not more pull than apple does, why they can push their own updates and google cannot is beyond me.

and last but not least, i am a happy verizon customer...been on 4.2 since it was released.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
This trouble in my mind. I hope its still gonna receive updates

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
Just because it's no longer being sold doesn't mean updates won't reveal themselves. The status change simply means that they won't receive any more shipments from Samsung, and any inventory that may be left might be marked for warranty returns. My Verizon Fascinate was end of life for several months when Gingerbread appeared. As long as Google is pushing updates, Verizon should(key word) continue to review them and approve release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
Your right! I totally forgot I had a dinc that received an update months after its life ended. But Verizon hasn't been so good to the nexus, actually worse then then dinc. But since the nexus has jb it's pretty stable
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bolanrox:
one can hope they still push updates but given their track record I am not expecting much.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
That's in the back of my mind as well. This is the 2nd android I have that was the latest and greatest but soon after purchase was dumped by Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
I bought:

HTC Thunderbolt 4G LTE, I thought that was IT! well, thanks to Verizon it was it only _THEN_ and not after that...

so I switched to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Google experience), thanks to Verizon for screwing up this "experience" IMM76K took almost half a year and so does JRO03O and next one... forget about it! sprint who's nexus came last is already getting newer version then verizon's model and verizon came out first with this phone and pretty much all time after that it was last!

SO THANKS VERIZON FOR SCREWING THIS WHOLE THING OVER FOR ME _AGAIN_!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
We're in the same boat! I had HTC incredible 1 . That got wrecked by they're "updates" but at least with our nexus's we don't have so much bloatware and its more easily rootable. I unlocked the boot loader of my Gnexus so in case nothing new happens I can ROM it no problem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
if i wanted to run 3rd party rom, i didn't had to and buy nexus for that... i could've went w/ samsung galaxy 3 and get better hardware
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhand1001:
Its probably in verizons best interest to wait for the next update. 4.2 was clearly rushed out the door and incomplete and full of bugs and offers very little in benefits. If it was up to me, the nexus 4, and 10 would have shipped with 4.1.2 and 4.2 wouldn't have rolled out to the rest yet. I hope verizon waits for the next update to do an OTA.

You don't wanna get people stuck with a buggy release for a few months.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BretonGirl:
Since Verizon has discontinued the GNex and placed it in the End-of-Life pile, I doubt it will ever see the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
End of life only indicates that they will receive no more product from Samsung. Anything on hand is likely marked for warranty replacement work. As long as the vendor (Google in this case) pushes updates, they should go through the usual testing, approval, and release process.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
Google did pushed an update and even Samsung provided new kernel as well...

come on Verizon! don't be a party pooper!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] falconoble:
It's because Apple does everything in-house. It's the one thing they really do well. Instead of pushing their updates through carriers they just do it through their own servers. The downside is that they tend to be very unprepared for the load (which either results in slow downloads or the servers crapping out completely), but everyone gets the update at roughly the same time.

Of course, I was on AT&T when I had my iPhone 3G/4/4S and those updates happened pretty seamlessly. There's also no AT&T bloatware pre-installed. I don't know what the experience was like for Verizon or Sprint customers.

I couldn't begin to tell you why Google doesn't or couldn't do the same, honestly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] branedamig:
Root and ROM is the way to go

I have been running JB 4.2.1 on my VZW GNex for a couple months now, and for the most part, have not had any of the bugs folks are talking about on OTA releases of the same stock version. I highly encourage serious Android users to consider rooting and ROMing their phones or finding someone who can do it for you. It is so worth it and there are plenty of stable 4.2.1 ROMs in the developer world. Plus, you get the latest features that you may never see waiting for OTA releases.

Obviously, you don't want to do this if you don't research, know what you're doing, or can't find someone to help. I am not a developer but have rooted many devices and flashed many ROMs. I will always be glad to help or assist anyone take full advantage of their most powerful and pure device.

Enjoy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
sometimes those "features" are not so stable so I don't want to run 3rd party ROMs, I'd like to stay on stock ROM, if I wanted 3rd party ROM I'd go with S3 as it has better hardware, yet I went w/ Nexus so I can run stock ROM w/out all bloatware that nobody is using/cares.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
I'm on the fence about ROMing mine. I wanna believe it'll be updated soon

verizon just announced ICS update for HTC Thunderbolt....

HTC Thunderbolt - Mar 17 2011

ICS was released on - Oct 19th 2011

today is - Jan 31st 2013

and that's just announcement, when it's going be available, _IF_ it's going be available that would be a well over year and a half...

THANKS Verizon!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
You don't have to dive into CM or AOKP or Paranoid..

There are AOSP ROMs that should be identical, just not "official". Still more or less exactly what you would get from VZW. Plus side is - VZW will eventually not support this phone, whether that has already happened or will happen in the days/years to come. When it is officially not going to be supported anymore, you can still get your updates here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3devious:
The main reasons I haven't gone for it have been the only things 4.2 offers are gimmicky to me. The lockscreen widgets seem cool but not necessary. I could get a lot of mileage out of photosphere too though.

I am most worried about the affect the new build would gave on my radios. Reception already leaves a lot to be desired as it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
Thanks I forgot about those AOSP ROMS. I'll give verzion another month or so to get their **** together. Then root it. The bootlaoder is already unlocked so it shouldn't be to difficult
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] branedamig:
Yeah, great call on the AOSP Roms. Great middle ground and entry point. I have different androids in the house and all are rooted with custom Roms. I wouldn't think of owning one without doing so, even if it's a nexus device.

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

4.2.1 features are for real. From the lock screen to the keyboard to the camera to the transitions between apps, etc., this version is sweet. You thought android was smooth before; now it's dope smooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhand1001:
Roms in the galaxy nexus are way more stable than s3 ROMs. The nexus runs aosp stock which is why aosp doesn't have additional bugs on it like it would on a non aosp phone like the s3.

You'll find that many custom ROMs are much more stable than stock 4.2.

Radios should not be effected at all they are not part of the Rom.

I could care less about an ota. Ive been on 4.2 since it dropped. Mmuzzy, evolution, aokp's, cm, and a few others. Ive had no bluetooth issues, wifi tether always works, camera functions are great. I chose to root and flash as ive been doing since winmo days, no regrets. You can be rooted and still run stock android with stock kernel, or custom, with no issues. If you choose to stay stockvand wait for the ota, its your loss. Mad props to all the devs who make owning the nexus fun. Ivr flashed 4 roms in 2 days, not because of issues with roms, they all worked fine, but because i can flash roms. Its what owning a nexus is about. Take the plunge, its slot of fun.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SirBindy:
Why? We've officially had 4.1.2 on our VWZ Nexus' for months. I think you're getting confused on version numbers. v4.1.2 (which we've had for a while) and v4.2.1 (which we are officially waiting on) are different.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
Don't get too excited about this. Take a look at the support page for Vodaphone http://support.vodafone.com.au/articles/FAQ/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Android-4-0-4-Update and note that the web address has 4-0-4 in it. The support page also mentions new features like Google Now. It appears that the Australians have been stuck on 4.0.4 until now. 4.1.2 only contained minor bug fixes from 4.1.1 (which US Verizon users have). I'll take the latest version of 4.2 over a minor bugfix for 4.1.

---------- Post added at 06:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 AM ----------

If you have an official 4.1.2 build from Verizon, please post the OTA address for us. Verizon is OFFICIALLY on 4.1.1. Anyone running 4.1.2 on the Verizon GNex has a custom ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
I'm fine not having 4.2.1 on my VZW Gnex. I have the stock 4.2.1 ROMs on my Nexus 7 and Nexus 10...they are both full of bugs and problems. I hear the GSM yakju/takju Gnex guys complaining a lot too. 4.1.1/JRO03O runs absolutely flawlessly on the VZW Gnex, so I'm in no hurry to upgrade the phone (the device I use the most) to 4.2.1. The Verizon 4.2.1 update for the Gnex COULD be coming very soon though. I noticed 4.2.1/JOP40G just dropped into AOSP on Thursday or Friday. That could be Verizon's update. They never drop a new build of AOSP without it being released to a device somewhere.

Xoom owners are in the same boat. Since the Xoom is no longer a priority device for Verizon, they test and approve whenever they get around to it. While the WiFi Xoom, which gets updates direct from Google, got 4.1.1 in July and 4.1.2 in October, the Verizon Xoom (which also gets updates direct from Google) is still on 4.0.4/IMM76L...an update it received 7 months ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] turdbogls:
its a possibility, but i think it is just a bug fixer...most of the changelog is for Mako (nexus 4) so I doubt it is for Toro.

again, happily running a 4.2.1 Verizon Gnex. It's so easy to do, i really dont see why people dont do it that are complaining. Unlock, Root, flash stock 4.2.1 build and enjoy.

the only thing i can see holding people back is if their phones are company provided where being rooted would be a bad thing for security. other than that....NO EXCUSES IMO.:laugh:

I rooted k1 by modifing the model message in build.propin system file.

But the app was still not work, I directly use the original build.prop to cover the modified one.

After that, I restarted my k1, it stoped after the lenovo logo appearing. It couldn't enter the UI.

But it could still enter APX model.

Can anyone provide me a downgrade rom? Thank you very much!!~~~~
