I noticed that too :) Camera autorotation is almost instant there (at least twice as fast as on gnex). I was bit skeptical towards n4 at the beginning. But right now I consider getting it if the fifth edition turns out to be 5+" monster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fushla:
Just a simple yes, it will. Why? Because I just know it lol :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The_Engine:
I definitely expect it to. Will VZW push an OTA for it before 2014? Probably not. But will the Dev's have it for us. Definitely.

Although VZW seems to be on a better trend on pushing updates. They have pushed a lot to their devices lately, so who knows.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abrakazebra:
The camera is one of the few places that really shows the gnex age. Everything else is really snappy for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hhwong:
not changing phone until gnex is officially dead, then i will buy whatever new nexus phone google has :)

Quite frankly, I dont know anyone who takes photography seriously would use a phone camera instead of their badass $2k camera.

And if you are just an average user like me, I really cant tell or I should say dont care much about the camera......it is clear enough if you are just taking some random photos of your friend/fancy resturants/naked girl or hairy men etc etc........ok you get the point.

Video part is the only part i would complain about the camera, 1080p video is choppy, and its not even THAT choppy. I am just being a **** expecting at least 30fps at all times.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericaraj:
To me 4.2 seems heavier all around, not just on the lockscreen. All the animations are slightly slower, but generally smoother; a good way to describe them is better damped. I like the smoothness, but I miss the snappiness of 4.1. The slowness is one thing makes me think 4.2 is heavier, but that could be a design choice by Google. A second issue that makes me think 4.2 is heavier is the stuttery animations that rear their head every so often. When they come about, you either have to force a redraw of the UI or restart your phone. I don't own a Nexus 4, so I can't speak from experience, but I've never heard any complaints of stuttering from users, which makes me think that its extra horsepower pushes over a threshold that the Galaxy Nexus doesn't meet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
There is just not enough ram being allocated. The nexus 7 have 900+mb usable while the GNex tops out at 600+mb..

Beamed from my Maguro.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AntonyStark:
Yup the GNex struggles On 4.2, but then when you don't have much open it goes back to being the Greatest Android experience again. But after that lag stutter lag.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericko.samudera:
I don't think KLP will need massive hardware upgrade. Most apps don't need octacore monsters anyway.

Galaxy Nexus won't be supported because it's too old, not because its hardware are not capable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferozfero:
Dude this is what we thought about the second jellybean..we thought it will be lighter and faster compared to the first jelly bean ... Turned out just got heavier..we cant expect keylime to be lighter.. Just better.. This phone is a year old anyway..im happy to upgrade..if the money comes around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forever_lol:
I agree but it's already one and a half year old :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dehelfix:
yeah its starting to feel its age, doubtful verizon will get a nexus again, so not sure what the next move will be come august when my upgrade is ready.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] render99:
I think it will make it to the gnex, in one form or another :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Most GN came with 4.1... And 4.2 was more of a quick fix because of the apple lawsuits.

Since 4.2 is technically a new release then I'll consider it 1 jump.

1. ICS

2. JB

3. KLP

I think the next Nexus will include one of those all-in-one LTE chips and be available truly worldwide (my hope). I have Verizon for work and they buy my phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
My Galaxy Nexus came with 4.0.1 and 4.2 was not a quick fix to conform to lawsuits. That what the 4.1.X builds were.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tiny4579:
Toro originally released on 4.0.1 which is definitely not JB. Also, the quick fix was not 4.1. It was a not well known build of ICS, IMM76Q. Here's the source:

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/08/15/galaxy-nexus-lte-update-imm76q-sneaks-into-some-replacement-phones-is-not-a-good-thing/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dehelfix:
god ics was such an improvement over GB, i hope KLP is as big of a step up, but i doubt it. more like another JB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
You never know, Google seems to be swaying off the original Holo design guidelines with the new play store app so it is safe to assume those changes will be present in the next OS update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericaraj:
Oddly my 7 stutters a lot more than my Gnex, although it doesn't seem to get locked into the stutter pattern. I can't decide if it's due to the larger screen, which amplifies the stutters, or the single channel memory that Nvidia used in the Tegra 3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericko.samudera:
The keyword is "massive."

I do expect that the minimum requirements of KLP will increase, but nothing that Gnex can't handle. 4.2 Gnex mostly stutters in camera rotation and video recording anyway, and with optimized kernel most animation stutters are gone. In my experience :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prostang:
18 months ends this June!!!! I got mine the day it was released on Dec 15, 2011
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
I doubt the gnex is getting KLP, it already struggles on 4.2 because of the amount of RAM being allocated to the SoC, i doubt it will run KLP smoothly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cristi_10:
even nexus 7,nexus4 have lag running the latest 4.2.2.seems a software problem but will see if they will update it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmg1001:
From experience, it seems the Nexus 7 is laggier than the Gnex, even with the quad core and tegra 3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
Really??? I would never guessed that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pcfanboy142:
I just hope they do something about the horrible audio latency. Pretty much my only gripe with android.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hookinafish:
I hear ya on that 1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
If we do get the the KLP update, it will hold me over just enough until I can get a new phone.

Here's my wish list:

1. Cloud storage for game data and synced with all your devices.

2. A WhatsApp competitor

3. Addition of Location Based Toggles sort of like Tasker but simple enough for the average consumer.

4. Work on the android beam functionality, add more support for WiFi direct

5. The ability to send webpages off your phone to your tablet, sometimes I'll be viewing something on my phone and then I have to research for it on my tablet. Same for maps and even in game progress, allow me to continue playing at the exact same spot I paused but on a different device.

6.Its been 5 years, include a native sound recorder app...and a shortcut for it too.

7. Include options for the stock launcher, I only need 3 home screens, allow me to delete the rest.

8. The music app needs work, include a Google now type Ui similar to "Now Playing"

9. Include support for 3 button remotes on headphones, the Z10 can do it, so android should be able too as well.

10. The stock video player sucks, add more support for various codecs and give me some options I can change.

11. I understand your pishing HTML5 but at least let me choose what I want to use to playback a video from the browser, don't just randomly choose HTML5 or gallery app.

12. Improve the HTML5 media experience in the browser, it sucks at the moment.

13. No matter what you do, don't remove the stock android browser and replace it with chrome.

14. Include support for Bluetooth 4.0

15.The Quick toggles need to be customizable, let me choose what I want to toggle.

16. The Data usage app should automatically show data used up to the current day.

I'm hoping at least some of these get added/fixed.

When is Key Lime Pie actually coming to GNEX?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flooney:
Noone knows that. There is no official date from Google yet.

Sent with GNex and CM 10.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
Around mid june /july this year for the lg nexus 4, I'm just going off what i have heard an from the trend of past major releases of android an we will most likely get it a month or even longer after the lg nexus 4 gets it on our gnex so don't bother thinking about it just yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fifarunnerr:
Nope, it's 15 May :)

At 15 may, Google I/O starts. On Google I/O 2012 they announced 4.1 Jelly Bean. On I/O 2011 they announced 3.2 Honeycomb. On I/O 2010 they announced 2.2 Froyo.

And I also expect the Galaxy Nexus will receive the KLP update. The Motorola Xoom and Nexus S both received updates for over 18 months. The Nexus S also received the 4.1 update(1.5 year after his release), so they'll have to do the same for the Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
Either way we wont get it till after the lg nexus 4 gets it, i have always known the gnex will get klp as it only one nexus down from the latest lg nexus, it would be bizarre if we didn't an the fact its a nexus phone, the gnex will still have klp before the new gs4 which is why sometimes it pays to have a crappier gnex to the latest an greatest android smartphone :D, never understood the whole reason why google would rather push its updates first to a older outdated device just because its a nexus rather than the higher end android phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blankit:
Heavy on the galaxy nexus? My phone runs like a dream with 4.2

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

Well according to rumors....key lime pie is supposed to be something no one has ever seen before so I'm guessing its something completely new.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] audit2:
Great info!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] turdbogls:
did you seriously just say that....lol.

yeah, NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN KEY LIME PIE (except for Android Dev team)

yeah, ITS SOMETHING COMPLETELY NEW (you know, becuase it hasn't even been released)

now if you had said "KLP is supposed to be like nothing we have ever seen before in an OS" and "it is completely new from the ground up" then you would have something.

i personally think it is going to be very similar to 4.2, just with more enhancements....maybe a slight re-design but nothing over the top different.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadToNever:
My wishlist:

Color profile support

Low latency audio

RAW photo mode
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Google themselves only push updates to Nexus devices because they made the devices. They are not in control of pushing updates to devices such as the SGS3, HTC One, etc. Thats up to Samsung, HTC, etc. Then, if you are on a Carrier, you have to wait for them to approve the update. That is why Google only pushes the latest updates to their Nexus devices and not other higher end devices.

I couldn't disagree more lol

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericaraj:
Then you're just not as sensitive to changes in frame rate as I am. Don't get me wrong, I love 4.2 and prefer it over 4.1, but the original jellybean performed better overall.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exnor:
It would be nice to get klp but even if i dont get it im not that worried because 4.2 have everithing i need on a handheld computer.

Still love my gnex and not getting a new one until i absolutely need it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josip-k:
Really?! Omg that must be awesome!!! Really tho,i hope you're just kidding.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mortenmhp:
Kidding about what? The second part is obviously true, since it hasn't been leaked, noone have seen it before. And 4.2 runs perfectly fine on my device as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PVL_93_RU:
So you guys are saying that there is a chance that GNex can get 5.0 update?

I'm currently sitting with Desire S, and recent;y got a wish to get a new phone, and I'm leaning towards GNex, but if it won't get 5.0 - it would looks kinda strange next to my N7, that is definately getting KLP

So I gotta either wait until May 15th for info from Google on topic of devices that will get 5.0, or get a GNex and sit with official 4.2

I'm not looking at N4 since I don't like it's design, glass back, and it's LG :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericaraj:
This phone is way too old to buy now. There's nothing particularly wrong with it but you can currently buy phones with 4 or 5 times the performance, not to mention better battery life. If you can wait for the next Nexus, do that. If you're just looking for something to hold you over for a few months then you'll be happy with this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forever_lol:
This. I totally agree. It's indeed a good phone but it's definitely postprime.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PVL_93_RU:
Examples, please?

I would, but N5 will probably not come until late 2013/early 2014, and I doubt that my DS will live that long lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forever_lol:
Come on...there are plenty faster devices, just compare specs of devices released in 2011 and 2012 and 2013.

It depends what your expextations are. Gnex is my favorite smartphone so far but I would never buy a device that was released two years before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PVL_93_RU:
The main problem that at the moment GNex is the most affordable phone with pretty much good specs even by today's standards (even when there are quad-core One and octa-core S4 out).

I can get it in a pretty good shape for just about 9.000 RUB ($300). The other closest decent phone with more-or-less same specs would be HTC Desire X (about 330$)

So, based on the $$ I have - I'm pretty limited in terms of choice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forever_lol:
Price is a significant factor indeed. I completely forgot. Your argument sounds rational. Gnexus is a very solid phone. If you get one in a good shape you shouldn't be disappointed. It's incomparably smoother than desire and has better screen. You don't have to worry about locked bootloader and with this development we have this phone will serve you some good time. User experience is really nothing to complain about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vigan_ks:
Gnex is best phone I ever had . its too important to take latest android version i own this phone 6 month and with 1 word its perfect we feel pure android power for me its better than s3 :). I think to hold this phone till google stops supporting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AGoogleUser:
Does anyone know when the sprint variant of the gnex is getting 4.2.2? I'd be happy with that if were not seeing key lime pie soon. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
I'm an early adopter. I like it so much that I'll probably have some issues getting rid of it when a Nexus from Sony comes out.

If this is true - then 4.3 will be the last GNexus update ever, and after that - it'll be up to devs to port 5.0 to this device later
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paarthdesai:
i don't think so.. its still labeled jelly bean..

if you go as per the logic on the op

4.0.3.and 4.0.4 was also an update why don't you count that.. we were promised 3 mazor updates.. soo major in my view means os change.. so we got ics, jb and klp

. soo after 4.3 were still need to have one more hopefully..

but seriously i don't care ;) we have such awesome developer which will provide more awesome roms then the official ;) which they are in fact giving us now

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forever_lol:
We've been promised 3 major updates? When? By who? :)

If 4.3 turns out to be the bugless and polished variant of 4.2.2 I will be more than happy. I am not that into KLP to be honest (at least not with GNex. Perhaps after upgrade within few months...).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
If 4.3 releases, it better not be lackluster like 4.2 was. This could spell the end of the road for the galaxy nexus in terms of updates if 4.3 is released at I/O then the next build would be released in October/November with a new nexus phone. By then we would be well past the 18 months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vfan23:
Keep forgetting the Nexus S is still getting updates I believe...why would they stop the GNex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AntonyStark:
Nexus S is on 4.1

Until we see 4.3 pop up on a GNex in the wild I have no belief that we will get it. But in that case Next Nexus will be the one to replace the GNex and have KLP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vfan23:
It started on 2.3 though, so it went through 2 major updates. The gnex has only seen one major which was Jellybean
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
If gnex doesn't get klp i will never buy another nexus phone again as there is no point, i will be getting the s4 an choose the better hardware an looks over a nexus that only went from ICS to jellybean, gnex was my first nexus an most likely my last if google abandons it from official updates so soon when klp comes along, gnex only launched 18 months ago give or take.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
Yeah, I'm planning on jumping ship to the S4 as well, the nexus line is not what it used to be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AntonyStark:
4.2 Was a major Update, this phone doesn't even have it yet but my GNex does!

If no one at Google is testing 4.3 On a GNex yet and there is no grainy video with a GNex running it then it's either not coming or not coming any time soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snsnselaoyeye:
looks like 4.3 only for Nexus 4 & 7
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
Wasn't KLP made up in the first place?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
It was made up but then a Googler posted an image with an android holding key lime pie so it sort of confirmed it. Here's the image below.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AntonyStark:
Lets just be realistic, if KLP or android 4.3 runs well on the GNex well then its not really going to push any new phones.

I would love for it to be available for the GNex, but that hope is only based on wanting to have it first, truth be told I'd rather the Gnex couldn't run it because its specs were too low.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geoffcorey:
False. That guy did work for Google, however he doesn't work for anything related to android and was only having fun. He even said he had no idea what Google's next version was going to be.

Are you responding to me? It's not clear, but if so you are just repeating the exact point I was making.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forever_lol:
I know. I was trying to support you :)

It means it isn't supported until we do. Its a waiting game up until I/O, if it exists someone must use it, or it is not ready and we wont get it soon anyway!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
You...want the new Android to be horribly sloppy and unoptimized? JB runs on phones with half the hardware of the GNex. Why in the world would anyone want an OS bloated to the point that it requires hardware with 4 times the power as the previous version? What could possibly be beneficial to quadrupling the hardware requirements in less than a year?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AntonyStark:
I see that side of it and have thought this before myself but the fact is My GNex isn't running like a Dream On 4.2, it does until I open some apps.

Quadrupling is an exaggeration, it should run like a Dream On the Nexus 4, not an 18 month old phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
At this rate android 6.0 will require a 12 core processor and will cause devices with quad cores to spontaneously combust.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miseusegau:
sorry for my English first of all .... but when do you think will be 'released key lime pie? .... thanks to all .... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
No, it's what you said.

JB minimim req is 512mb ram, single core 800mhz. Gnex is 1gb ram, dual core 1.2ghz. The N4, the step up from the Gnex, has 2gb of ram, quad core 1.5ghz. So the Nexus 4, the phone you said should be min for KLP, is roughly 4 times as powerful as JB requirements

4.2.2 runs just fine on my GNex, lag is a non-issue (unlike bluetooth). It's also available for my XPlay, which sports 512mb of ram and 1ghz single core.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AntonyStark:
Big difference between running Android and having apps open widgets going, multiple tabs on Chrome and stock browser, live wallpapers and it still being smooth. I don't want my phone to struggle with anything I throw at it thats all. My Nexus runs a little smoother now because I only use it in my house to check Twitter and watch YouTube.

Still not Quadruple to me that looks double an 18 Month Phone. I guess It could be a horrible experience on GNex and still run.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hhwong:
while i am extremely pleased by the fact that android is open source, i am still pissed by that micro lag.......

i dont think it can be fixed really, theres just way too many devices out there making it extremely hard to optimize apps or even the android os itself to fit the majority :(

****!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
You're right. I don't have any apps on my GNex, nor Widgets, nor Browser, nor wallpapers. Basically, when I turn on my GNex, I'm greeted with a black screen. From there I can look and watch the black go maybe slightly more black if I'm lucky. Don't try to text me, I won't answer.

Seriously though, my phone at the end of the day is just as fast as when I turned it on. This is with a list of up to around 10 apps in my recent apps list, running with what some people call a bloated Launcher, 12 widgets on my homescreens, starfield 2.0 live wallpaper, Call Master running in the background, as well as the motoactv companion app if I have my texts being pushed to my watch. Granted I never have more than three tabs in Chrome open at a time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AntonyStark:
This would be funny if you wasn't talking about a phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
It'd be even more funny if you got the joke
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AntonyStark:
There is no joke, some phones are just running Jellybean with low specs but they are phones you can do that, depends what you do on it. You have your usage pattern, I have mine, and how I was using it the phone just wasn't performing on 4.2. So yes I need more. I said in this Thread at the start when this phone is working its the greatest experience, then it locks up opens the wrong apps on a tab, or the Launcher just reopens. In between that that yup its pushing 4.2 easily...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
Oh come on, I thought it was funny.

Did you read my post edit where I outlined what I actually do on my phone? I'm surprised you're having issues since it doesn't sound like you're doing a whole lot more than me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AntonyStark:
I don't know why I am either, and I don't think 4.3 would save it and it will be 2 years old come whatever is after that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
Meh, a 2 year old phone running the latest android isn't exactly unheard of.
