http://www.change.org/petitions/google-update-the-galaxy-nexus-with-android-4-4-kitkat

18 Months = 1.5 Years

The iPhone 4 was released at 2010 and was upgraded to iOS7 2013

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus was released at 2011 1 year after the iPhone 4

Apple: Continues Support till end of iOS7

Google : Drops support @ Android 4.3

Whats up with that?

The Nexus has the specs to run the new Android 4.4

so does the iPhone 4 Running iOS7

All this talk about Updates is giving me a pain in the ass, it seems like now Apple is the better route?

Whats even better is the Nexus S was released @ 2010

Lets take a look @ google's reason for not updating

Galaxy Nexus, which first launched two years ago, falls outside of the 18-month update window when Google and others traditionally update devices... Okay, lets look @ the current version the Nexus s has OTA (4.1.2 Jellybean)

4.1 Jelly bean was released 2012 ish, 18 months = 1.5 years (thanks google search)

Phone released in 2010 its PAST Google's 18 Month Policy

Please sign the petition.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shriom_manerker:
LOL you serious ? i signed that the day they announced that gnex wont get the update, besides its useless! and unlock bootloader and flash recovery and update manually man ! dont be scared ! its a nexus! its hard to brick one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] markdapimp:
I would like an ota update though it feels nice to be official
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Tbh it's not going to happen. Perhaps Google was intended to be the White Knight compared to the evil fruit. But sadly the hardware limitation stops it from progressive advancement. The core can't handle the new OpenGL3.0 which is probably going to be their main focus on KEYLIME. I'm just guessing at this point that there are new CPU with the same price range that can do double the workload.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asarjip:
I signed the petition a few weeks ago.

Since then I've given up. There are some really nice 4.4 roms available right now so why worry.

I'm using one as a daily driver and it's great, including data switching, etc.

Thanks for the efforts though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] markdapimp:
Theres still a chance it would there are 4.4 Roms running smoothly on it so there isn't a reason for an official ota from google
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leocasarin:
Hey guys!

As all of you, I got really disappointed when Google said that our great Nexus wouldn't be updated, and at that time, I really had no hope about the customs and this hardware limitations, but nowadays, I feel the devs are doing an amazing job and the roms are pretty good to dailly use.

I flashed CM11 yesterday and all my frustation has gone... It's almost near perfection, even in "alpha stages"...

I'm not saying that I don't support an official update, but considering that Google doesn't like "us" anymore, let the devs keep going on their fantastic work.

Bye!

This is a developer phone! Root & flash Shiny Rom. Done.

Most people don't buy a nexus to develop on many people like myself want the latest and greatest android.

If I was an average consumer you want the latest and greatest also

Giving hope for our GNex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rushead:
Once again, I'm at a loss to understand your post, but consider this: the plethora of 4.4 roms that are being offered right now for us are running more smoothly than those phones currently running otas from Google.

And owning a developer phone doesn't mean you must be a developer yourself. What it means is simply that we get to enjoy the multitude of talented folks who create awesomeness for our phone.

I'm not against your petition by any means, but I think you need a dose of reality, which is that 1) it won't happen and 2) we don't need it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LibertyMonger:
My first Android was Motorola Milestone XT720, first phone with an 8mpl camera, all reviews were misleading and the phone was a total flop. Got the phone cause it was my local carriers top phone and it was free. It was the first petition I had seen sparked by dropped support. Moto and my carrier both promised the upgrade to Froyo! Lmao. There were thousands and thousands of signatures I believe but it did not matter to Moto. Cincinnati Bell Wireless did a gracious thing and Kanged a ROM from here and made it their official update to make good on their promise but as far as I know, no petition has ever got any attention. Since then I went with Nexus S and to the Galaxy Nexus cause I never wanted to go through that again! The dreaded XT720 is still stuck on Eclair, never received even one official update! And it was a $500 phone! Cannot believe how they got away with that sham but they did I guess. I would say everyone vowed to never buy a Motorola again! Anyhoo it's always nice to have the official update cause out of all me non-Nexus phones it seems ported ROM's of latest Android always have the pesky little bugs that never get fixed. It seems we hang on and on, refreshing Development threads daily looking for an update to a miracle and it just never quite happens. Now here we are with our beloved Nexus, thinking we were gonna see Key Lime Pie and out from nowhere comes KitKat and we get tossed like dirty underwear! LMAO! Never imagined a petition for a Nexus! But the great thing that separates us from all of the other petitions... is we got the best Dev's in the business working hard for us on a phone with an unlocked bootloader made for this exact thing! Getting the latest and greatest custom ROM's without worry!

We need to start demanding removable batteries and SDCards on all new devices! Stop buying the built in battery/cloud storage NSA spy grid phones! We are allowing Google to take over the world! Lol.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE BE THANKFUL WE ARE BLESSED WITH THE NEXUS EXPERIENCE! I AM THANKFUL FOR XDA AND EVERYONE IN THIS GREAT COMMUNITY! (Sorry for the long rant I feel better now thank you) :cowboy:

Infact the Galaxy nexus is STILL being sold @ Verizon stores for $50

For 30$ i could go get the Samsung Galaxy S3 for $30

and the Samsung Galaxy S3 will get 4.3.4.4

and i thought nexus devices were superior
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyYan:
All US carriers' S3 have a Snapdragon S4 (MSM8960) CPU which is still being actively used in many mid-to-high-range phones, and is highly consistent with newer Snapdragons in terms of architecture (makes porting ROMs and kernels easier)

Ours has an OMAP4xxx which got abandoned by its own manufacturer despite its success...

Blame Google, but also blame TI for their stupid choice to quit the market.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harishmenace:
Did the Iphone cost same as the Nexus? So why compare them.

People buy Nexus for the huge development community it has, its not even been a month since the kitkat was released and we already have perfect working ROM's. Just flash them and enjoy, instead of protesting to get what we have already have.

Just my thoughts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Djmattox08:
It's still one of the best phone, practically unbrickable. Not to mention with how fast technology these days is advancing and moving on. I'm actually surprised of how great the devs have done to keep it alive this long
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bezerker75:
I bought a Nexus to get latest and greatest android from google which is tested to death. I'm not going to flash a rom and do testing to find out which rom suits best. I simply do not have the time. So google, pls provide kitykaty to galaxy nexy ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rushead:
You guys can wish in one hand & crap in the other & tell us which one fills up 1st.

Meanwhile the rest of us are busy running 4.4 with ART and are spreading thanks to our awesome devs who have created the smoothest, most reliable roms ever seen on this phone.

google can do it once then done, no worries about dirty flashing or wiping tibu your apps then restore.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E66666666:
Even if Google wanted, and I am pretty sure they would have no problems doing so, they can't make proper builds without various hacks, not something a big company or developer would do. Releasing no ROM is better than releasing a ROM with features hacked in, especially if it's going to be AOSP Android. The culprit is Texas Instruments discontinuing their entire line of mobile processors - and thus, no new drivers. Not something Google can control, if a company marks a product(line) as EOL.

You can't exactly blame Microsoft for not letting Windows 7 support 3dfx graphics card, the same applies to Google. Want a new Google-built ROM? Better start at the root of the problem and demand Texas Instrument picks up their OMAP line again, Texas Instruments to release their drivers source code or ask for a dedicated Galaxy Nexus team.

In the end, I still don't like my Galaxy Nexus isn't ever going to 4.4 properly (well, maybe if people reverse engineer the GPU, but fat chance). I signed the petition as soon as it got online anyway, but you people need to realise that Google isn't the party to blame. Yes, their Glass runs OMAP, but it doesn't run 4.4. Heck, it doesn't even run JB yet. For the time being I'll just wait on 4.3 for a big ROM builder, AOKP preferably, to release Nightlies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earlneath:
Thanks Rushead that looks like a good build for Toro. Is there something equivalent for Maguro?

If there were 23 million supporters it still not would'nt make any difference to google.That's like getting 23,000 people to petition to apple to make their iPhones half the price of what they currently are because some people think it cost too much, its just not going to happen buddy.Do you really think a petition is going to change the way google does its business because of one outdated device (gnex) didn't get kitkat.Next time realize when you buy a nexus you will only get 18 months of updates, google has made it quite clear how it updates its devices, you bought a gnex without knowing how google operates is your own problem an no one elses.

Hey, we have KitKat! ;)

Yes but looks the Video isn't perfect

if google were to do it it be done within 3 weeks or so

then we can base that perfect build for our own kitkat builds then it would be perfect
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Have you tried KitKat on this device at all? I dont know what video you are watching but almost all the bugs have been worked out. We dont need Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bogdan2011:
Well I guess afterall it's a good thing we bought a developer-friendly device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
That's why I'll never get anything but a Nexus from now on. I've owned a locked down device and it was painful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuperShadow1021:
signed the petition, but there are some kit kat roms starting to be near bug free and right now i am running MBQ's XP Project Kit Kat and it runs great. As long as there are devs out there for this device, it will be hard to officially declare it dead.

I'm using CM 4.4 right now an everything is working, the greatest thing about android is all the awsome developers that make this possible even if google lets us down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wunderkind:
My GNex only OTA'ed once - when I first opened. Since then, it's always custom ROMs. The GNex is a versatile phone. Still has the hp to run the latest and greatest. Thoroughly happy with the phone. There are a number of KitKat roms out now. Try it. Pretty slick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clance:
Google should take up the responsibility
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kgarlick:
There is no reason to complain on Google. They give us us much support as they promised.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhand1001:
I could care less about 4.4, but I would like a 4.3 ROM where WiFi autoconnect works all of the time. It really annoying that it randomly stops working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rushead:
You should care about 4.4 since wifi autoconnect (and everything else) is working. It runs circles around 4.3-

If u want the latest official android builds then just get the latest official nexus. That's y they're made. Otherwise the unofficial builds by our devs are nothing short of impressive. I support all gnex devs and the work they do. I will b upgrading to n5 soon enough but me gnex will live on. Thanks to gnex Devs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhand1001:
The problem I have with 4.4 is the crap aosp browser. Its completely ruined in 4.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pushrod88:
And... you cannot download another browser because why?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wis1:
Running CM11 and its working fine. It's a shame that Google doesn't support it anymore, but the awesome developer-community filled that gap more than well...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhand1001:
All the other browser's are equally ruined as they used the same webview that has been screwed up in 4.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Prasad:
That was fixed by CM a while back.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Legaleye3000:
Will stock 4.4 on HTC One support "Ok google" from homescreen like Nexus 5 and Moto X? Thanks.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] z0phi3l:
That only works if you are using the Google Experience Launcher or a custom ROM modified to work like that
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] 2014FordFocusSTOwner:
Did you mean if 4.4 with sense supported it? I hope so
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Legaleye3000:
Yea- when we get 4.4 (using tmobile version), can I just say "ok google now" from homescreen without unlocking device (like Moto X)?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ROMVS:
Yes but only from the homscreen. Not while locked, moto x has its own low power processor core that does that, the HTC One and most of the flagships don't have that technology. You could do it with an app but the drain would be horrendous as you would have to run your HTC One on all the time but only with the screen off.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roy8846:
So my bro got a i9300 S3 (international), its his first android after iphones for years.

Anyway he has tried to install Cyanogenmod and reckons there is no wifi (will show his router but not connect)

Stock works fine but he hates touchwiz.

The steps he has taken are....

updates to 4.3 from Kies

rooted via odin

installed cwm

installed cm10.2 and gapps

He says everything is perfect except wifi, its sees router and saves connection but doesnt connect.

His baseband is i9300buugj3

Now he is really gutted as he loves the stock android look.

Any fixes and steps would be appreciated! (I cant get to him to have a look myself hence the post!)

Perhaps update baseband would fix?? (And if so how would he do that? Via odin? Does CWM being installed affect anything?

Thanks in advance!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlackingVeteran:
whats the build information of the cyanogenmod that is flashed, i think its a nightly build, sometimes there are different issues in nightly builds, did you tried a stable one i mean M Snapshot, thats a stable one and also does not have wifi issues.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roy8846:
He says he's tried most builds inc Snapshot builds and doesnt work on any, hence he thought about his old baseband (not that he knows the problem)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlackingVeteran:
Have you tried to connect to other routers? does it connects to others?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roy8846:
He hasnt tested other routers no, but stock rom works fine on his router.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlackingVeteran:
this happens sometimes, i m too using cyanogenmod myself, when i was using stock rom i was able to connect to my college's router, but after flashing cyanogenmod, i was not able to connect to it, nowdays they have replaced with new router, n there is no problem inn connecting to it, even i never had problem to connect to my home's router, this happens with some router.. maybe this time with your's.. try to connect to other router than your's.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Horoscope:
I have the exact same problem

my phone sees the router and saves connection but doesnt connect.

I also tried Wifi tether from my other phone and even that doesnt connect, it just saves the network...

this is happening on all CM based 4.2.2 roms...

havent tried 4.3 and AOSP roms...

Glad he's not alone.

Anyone link to the latest 4.3 baseband for i9300??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
are any other devices connecting to the same wifi network? if yes, try factory reset of the phone from recovery and then flashing the custom roms.
