(VZW) Nexus 4.0.X Update Discussion

lowerB511 · Jun 2, 2012

Just woke up in Charlotte, NC to my 4.0.4 update. Looks like it updated without any problems or issues you guys are mentioning above. I did not root.

Hopefully this fixes my muting issue. I feel like it went away for about a month, but just this past week I had 3 calls in a row mute on my end. It gets very frustrating when you can't make an important call on your own cell b/c it will probably mute itself.

My muting had gone away with the .03 radios, so I assume you will be fine now on .04. Also, VZW mentioned one way calling as one of the fixes.

Did any of you get a request for location from google location services after the installation of the OTA?

What is that about?

Did you do the trick about clearing data for the Google Services Framework? Because that's what the message is coming from, not the update.

I got the 4.0.4 OTA update last night around 2230 hours here in New Mexico.....it seems like it is a bit smoother and quicker. I hope it is as good as it looks.....

I've had a significant improvement in connecting to the 4G network. I recently got a replacement phone for a camera issue and was having all sorts of problems with the new one.

I would not even be able to make a phone call and the phone spent most of the time not connected to the network. After the update I have still low signal but at least i am connected to mobile networks and haven't had the phone restart on me yet after a phone call.

I never got that message from the trick or the update.

The key to making this work is force close before clearing data.
I got it first try, downloading as I type.

I tried this, and it's downloading now. Thanks.

I've tried this 'trick' three times and have failed everytime.....

Anyone care to share how to unroot without losing info and keeping the phone unlocked? Thanks.

1. go to setting / apps then hit the all button at the top
2. scroll down to google services framework and then press it to open
3. hit the clear data button
4. go to settings / about phone / system updates (you will notice the date will be 1969 or 1970 this is ok )
5. hit the check now button
6. Nexus should show you the 4.0.4 update avaliable
7. hit install and enjoy

(I copied this off of xda forums...sue me)

Worked for me on second try.

Here's one thing -- the second time instead of hitting home, I went directly to setting by pulling down the notification windowshade.

I used the framework clear trick and it worked for me the second time. I also used Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and got root back with almost no effort!

So far the wifi 3G/4G handoff is almost instantaneous.

You do not need to unroot for the OTA.

It's the same request you either accepted or rejected when you first set up your phone. No biggie.

Also, it's how they know where Dankees so they can send him the wrong PRL.

THANK YOU for the clearing Google Services Framework tip! Update is downloading now!

I certainly had too >.> kept getting installation errors, Used Wugfresh tool kit to unroot, and the update installed without a problem. only issue is i can't root it anymore

NOLA_Droid · Jun 2, 2012

Was rooted running AOKP. Flashed back to stock and locked using Wugs. Update dropped immediately. Installed update, and wanted to unlock and root again and run rooted stock. Unlocked, rooted, again using Wugs, and rom manager will not flash clockworkmod recovery. :mad:

Unrooted, and locked, and installed update again and will run stock 4.0.4 for now. Has anyone had trouble using Wugs after the update?

I used wugs to re-root after the update.

Did you have any issues flashing CWM recovery after installing ROM Manager?

atrain311 · Jun 2, 2012

Noticing no change at all to battery life. Not the end of the world since I have three batteries handy at all times, but I was just hoping...

Unforgiven · Jun 2, 2012

I had to go into "superuser" settings after wugs and update my binaries. After that I had working root again.

Bubkes · Jun 2, 2012

I was able to update successfully using the Google Service Framework trick.

Rooted but Locked. Stock Android.

Restored root in one click with Voodoo OTA RootKeeper.

Everything seems to be working so far...

BHATCH · Jun 2, 2012

My wife got the update (figures because she could care less) so I decided to back to backs with the camera. I'm calling the pic quality a huge improvement. It was easier to keep the picture focused and the colors are more vivid and true to life. You can see huge color difference in mickeys feet and the mountain dew can. The clarity of focus is much better on the MT Dew can also. I'm pleased!

The screen rotate is much quicker now also, that used to drive me nuts.

I had to shrink the photos to 90% in order to make it under the upload size limit of the forum.

Ed5275 · Jun 2, 2012

They fixed the hell out of the screen rotation. Also, switching from 3g to 4g and vice versa is way faster. Battery may be a smidge better, but my sample size is too small to fully tell yet.

Yup it locks up ROM Manager...

I tried that, it seemed like it worked. I tried flashing CWM and it failed. I installed root checker to see, and it was not rooted :thinking:
