(VZW) Nexus 4.0.X Update Discussion

radzer0 · Apr 30, 2012

Problems that 90%+ of people notice are what i mentioned. Problems that 10-20% notice should be put on the back burner to the issues everyone notices and get those fixes out. If they would have done that the majority of the nexus complaints would be fixed and we would just be looking for more improvements in performance and some odd here and there bugs. Everything has the smaller bugs

I have had three verizon android phones (OG Droid, Droid X, Galaxy Nexus) and every single update no matter how minor or small has received massive complaining if it is delayed. This update (4.0.4) is not going to be that drastic or game changing and the day after everyone gets it will be no different than the day before. Seriously it's not a big deal. If you are having issues with the phone now, why are you waiting on an update to fix your problem? Go to verizon and get something that works. Can we stop making threads about this same topic? All you whining will not speed anything up and if you are actually upset call verizon and direct your energy to the people responsible for the delay. endrant/ loveyouall/

If not being able to make a PHONE CALL from a PHONE is considered whining, then so be it. I have called Verizon... again, and again, and again. I've also called Samsung and that's about an hour of my life that I'm not getting back. I've gone through three replacements and all of them had faulty screens so I sent them all back. And rooting and/or installing custom ROM isn't going to do me any good, unless someone specifically developed a ROM that addressed the audio reboot issues.

I bought the Galaxy Nexus because that's the phone I wanted. I didn't buy it to trade it in for a lower-end phone a few months later. That's like buying a Mustang because you wanted a Mustang but you had to trade it in for a Focus because the wheels on the Mustang keep falling off, and Ford is holding onto upgraded lug nuts even though it knows its has customers that have wheels that fall off their Mustangs (not picking on Ford; that's just the first thing that came to mind).

I want them to hurry up and release the patch because I am going with another phone if the patch doesn't fix my problem. What choice do I have? I don't pay Verizon what I do every month to surf the web or watch movies; I can do that for free on my wifi tablet.

I paid good money for this device, and it doesn't matter whether it was $30 or $300. It should work and I expect them to fix it. Period, end of story. :mad:

lol i have to say that is a great analogy my friend.

There were people who on day one here have told others that Verizon will have to test all of the updates before they send them OTA which means it will take longer than OTAs right from Google. I don't understand how someone could be so mad about this super minor update being a few weeks late that they wish they never bought the phone..

It's hard to say it's late when they never officially announced a planned date (to my knowledge).

However, people have been told for months by VZW customer support "it'll be out at <now>" where <now> is perpetually 1 month away. I have deja vu from the pre-release thread...

I just hope they address most of the issues people are reporting here. Can you imagine the amount of hatred towards VZW if they push this release and don't fix most/all of the widely reported issues? :eek:

We need radio updates, bluetooth radio update, and fixing the landscape keyboard lag thing.

I'm pretty sure the portrait to landscape delay isn't a bug, it was intended to be that way. Google chose to do this so accidental portrait to landscape would be more easily avoidable.

I ment how in alot of programs the landscape keyboard has serious lag. Not the actual switchover. Tapatalk and godaddy both come to mind for doing it.

Ive seen many times the flip doesnt happen at all and i have to close whatever is open and reopen and hope it goes into landscape (this happens alot in text messages)

All the delays from Verizon really shouldn't come as a surprise. Neither can you ever trust a CSR for insider info. At best they read the forums and can give you the latest rumors. They know nothing because they are told nothing. The update will release when Verizon thinks it's ready.

I was talking to tech support with Verizon about my problems with signal connectivity in my area for 3G and 4G and they said there was an update to the software coming May 1st, so tomorrow.

Do you guys think this is for 4.0.4 ?

Also on another note when they asked for what version of software I had and I said Android 4.0.2 they said they needed a build number instead an ICL number. Why did they ask for that instead? Just wondering.

Me thinks you were told that just to get you off the phone.

nmbs · Apr 30, 2012

I thought so too until the lady made an appointment to call me next week to make sure that my issues where resolved with this 'software update'

I hope that's the case, but put me in the camp of "I'll believe it when I see it."

dkear · Apr 30, 2012

Ditto

Ravenbf · Apr 30, 2012

The only thing I can say to all this is .......LOL. No disrespect to the OP, I am having flashbacks to my Droid X days. I love the phone, and I was so excited that Verizon was getting a Nexus, but this delay in the update while the GSMs and all the other new phones getting ICS upgrades higher then 4.02 is sort of a downer. I was really hoping for a pure Google experience....to bad Big Red has to have their hands in the CDMA/LTE stuff.

Guess we will find out tomorrow!!!

AntimonyER · Apr 30, 2012

I hope you are right. Lots of people need that update.

They ask you this because they want to see if your on a custom rom or not. Custom roms have a different build number usually called the name of the rom. This way they can say its your fault for the bad signal and not Verizon's even no it is.

I have some wonderful beach front property I new Mexico to sell u also. The first rule is never believe the store the online chat the phone rep. There job is to blow smoke up your azz and make u feel all warm and cozy. And to answer your question no the rumor was vzw testing 4.0.5 not 4.0.4. As mentioned before its not about the os number.

Agree. Everyone here knows just as much about the update as the CSRs: absolutely nothing. No offense to them since they're just doing their job. But when they blatantly lie and say the update is coming on xxx then it's a little irritating.

snuggles · Apr 30, 2012

1. This phone should have NEVER been advertised as a "PURE GOOLE EXPERIENCE"
with updates fast and directly from google.

2. Verizon should have the courtesy to their loyal consumers to loop in everybody
about the status of the updates even if there are none planned. They would gain a lot
of respect and retain my business for years to come.

jkc120 · Apr 30, 2012

I want to believe this...I really do...but I'm going to go out on a limb and say the chances of this happening are about 0. Prove me wrong Verizon. :cool:

snuggles · Apr 30, 2012

What is an update?

Outatime · Apr 30, 2012

<<holding breath>>

millenium · Apr 30, 2012
