Sprint 4.2.1

[msndrstood]

Does my phone have to be unrooted to get the Jellybean update?

Yes. It has to be stock for the OTA. Someone will be along with more details shortly, I'm sure.

What?! ...I'm msndrstood.

Huuhhnn??
I thought by being rooted I'd be able to get updates sooner than if I was unrooted...?
What if I'm rooted but haven't changed my theme or ROM but am still using stock?

Cleared the framework data and got both my wife and my nexuseseses to update. Also had to remove Google account after and re-enter it in the play store to get it to work again. So far it seems a little faster, but battery life is much better. The phone actually sleeps now, if I check the battery info it is not awake constantly anymore, only about once every 30 minutes as opposed to every 5 before. Photosphere is fun and works pretty good. Happy to see Sprint keeping up relatively fast with the updates.

Has anybody experienced any frequent random reboot issues that I've heard about with this update?

Sent from my phone that's better than yours.

Yes, I was experiencing two to three reboots a day, I have since downgraded back to 4.1.1 and no more reboots for me!

How's everone's battery life? Mine took a bit of a hit, which wasn't great in the first place... sucks...

 

[kbot1226]

Battery life seemed OK, but I experienced horrible signal issues, which along with the resets is a deal breaker for me because I work in a rural area and rely heavily on my phone. I however was very impressed with the camera, I swear photos were better quality, and photo sphere is simply awesome.

I cleared the Google Services Framework two times, rebooting after each attempt and succeeded on the third try. So far, I'm loving all the little changes. My GNex seems just as responsive as before, maybe even a little more so. I'll have to see how my battery life is affected, if at all.

My battery life has definitely improved. Best it's ever been. I'm still in love with this phone.

The last time I did the Google framework thing, I lost access to the Play Store until the update finally hit my phone about a week later, which fixed it. So I guess I'll wait it out. For anyone who did get the OTA please let us know about any issues you notice. It will be appreciated.

This happened to me too. How do I fix this?

 

[tommy_2]

Do I have too wait for the ota update? And will I get it seeing I forced the update?

 

[Charles Ian Duncan]

I got the Update on The 31st,I got My Gnex in Late November,I forced OTA it took 10 times then i had it!

I know some people flash gapps, but I just waited for the OTA which came in a few days after the force stop/clear data fiasco. I read that over at XDA they do not recommend the Google framework procedure, but a lot of people do it without any issues. So take it with a grain of salt. It won't be long to wait, hopefully.

I lost market access too and unfortunately the OTA didn't restore it. I had to reset my phone to get everything back to normal.

Wow, that really sucks. At least the OTA fixed my issue. More people should be aware of this, IMO.

Just when you thought everything was good...

AOSP updated to revision 1.2, build JOP40G


So.. judging from Jerry's comments in there this version of 4.2.1 may indeed have some power issues.. Lets see how long it takes Sprint to address this update that was just pushed out to the AOSP build/manifest.
