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...

How long have you been running it? You ought to give it a little time (couple days).

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

Yep. CWM can't be flashed, Superuser won't update binaries through the app, and SU updater app can't gain root access. I think Wugs may need an update. :mad:

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.

4.0.4 doesn't fix it for me.

open the superuser app and go into settings (a wrench icon in the upper right corner). scroll down until you see the binary build number. It should say something like click to check for updates. I installed the updates and root worked.

If anyone is having problems re-rooting try this handy little toolkit. [GNex TOOLKIT V7.0] Drivers, Backup, Unlock, Root, CWM, Flash, Mods + MORE [SPRINT] - xda-developers

Edit: I noticed one of the "root checkers" in the store says you don't have root even though you really do. This on here will work properly https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwyLDYsImJ1cnJvd3MuYXBwcy5yb290Y2hlY2tlciJd

I tried that several times. All went well until it tried to obtain root access. It failed every time.

Hasn't fixed it for me either. Software can't fix crap hardware. Signal is worse in most locations.

I thought the same thing at first but now I am getting a solid 4g signal and holding it in a place I never got it before.

My signal with the 4.0.4 radios is slightly better but nothing dramatic. It does hand.off quite fast now, though. The mid-call muting thing irritates me. I will probably jump to the first 2nd Gen LTE phone that gets unlocked/rooted when/if that happens. I rarely use the phone, but it's still annoying. Luckily it has not happened during a critical call but it's to the point where I use my wife's phone or land line if I'm making a call and I can't afford a muting call.

Rooted stock for now.

So you guys have gotten the OTA update? I haven't gotten anything.

So both you and jkc120 have had the mid-call issue? Are either/both of you 100% stock, non-rooted, and received the update OTA? Just trying to do an apples to apples comparison in case it happens to me.

I'm on AOKP b37 with the 4.0.4 radios. It has all the VZW OTA proprietary binaries so I don't see why it'd still have the issue while stock doesn't...

I'm completely stock. Been having the issue since day 1.

I'm 100% stock, non-rooted and I still get the mic muting mid call. Don't know what to do next as I don't want a phone still on gingerbread android and don't want a phone that doesn't have a removable battery.

I will for sure, but I only posted that because my battery actually seems worse. Could totally be mistaken, maybe I'm playing with the phone more than usual. Also, navigating from one screen to the next on the Phandroid App is now like molasses. Gonna have to experiment a bit.

colchiro · Jun 2, 2012

I would expect the update clears caches, which would be another reason why you have worse battery life.

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)

I did this but now don't get the update notice LOL!
OMG WTH

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.

This is key. I had done it 30 or 40 times (no joke), and it worked the first time with this.

Lucky Armpit · Jun 2, 2012

That's not very promising, no. Damn, I don't want a Gingerbread phone either but if the mid-call mute happens to me post-4.0.4, what choice do I have ?
