Feeling played on the 4.04 update.

I flashed 4.0.4 couple of days ago but am having a few issues. I do notice a major difference in some things, like the camera app, and web browser. However, my phone is muuuucchhhh slower when unlocking the phone. I unlock and it lags like crazy, sometimes taking a 2-3 seconds for the soft buttons to appear. battery life seems to have dropped too, but that could be because of an app i installed. anyone else having the lag issue?

I have a very minor lag when unlocking. It's not too bad to the point that I want to pull my hair out but it was definitely noticeable after the update.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with the issue. I'm most likely over exaggerating simply because it wasn't there before. Same boat as you though, where it doesn't drive me crazy but it is noticeable.

I should also add that it doesn't always lag when I unlock. It seems random.

He clicked it deliberately to vent on how much we're annoying him.

I just don't see how 18 different threads complaining about the same thing (why we don't have a new update yet) accomplishes anything. Do you really think that creating new threads every other day is going to change anything Google/Samsung/Verizon does? One thread about it I can understand, but do we really need a new one every couple days/weeks/whatever? It gets old.

Just as it is your right to create all these stupid unnecessary threads, it is my right to complain about such threads.

While it is true I have not had my Nexus in every single city in the country, I have had it in several different cities/areas around the country with varying degrees of 4g coverage, and had no issues.

I disagree. I have thoroughly tested my device in several different markets and experienced none of the issues that people commonly complain about...therefore, my phone does not have these issues...therefore, not all Gnexs have these issues.

So by your logic, just because the very vocal minority have issues, all of us have those issues even though we have never experienced them?

Am I reading you right?

The issues I have is with apps and movies I stream having to reload or start over. You may not realize it but it doesn't have to be that way and it isn't on competitor phones. and its not a hardware issue.

Agreed. I'm going to leave until the OTA actually comes out and then come back to see how many threads there are talking about how the update sucks and it didn't fix anything...or better yet, how the update is causing new problems...lol

People need to chill out...its REALLY not that big of a deal.

This post is very ill informed. Going from 4.0.2 to 4.0.4 you get updates you your Radios among other things. That in and of itself is ground breaking for the GNEX. So rather than say there is nothing groundbreaking about it, why dont you research the changes first?

Or, what you could do is not click the link. Therefore opening said thread, of which since you clicked you fully intend on reading.

just update to 4.04 imm76k using the strifejester method. its super easy to do and makes your phone noticeably better

**yosteve** · 05-22-2012, 03:16 PM

"Yeah Johnny, we got hosed..." Actually pigs would've flown had an update been given today, so yeah. 9 more days and it will officially not be "early 2012" the documented release of ics to previous version androids.

**mechapathy** · 05-22-2012, 04:00 PM

It's a good thing Google keeps wink winking and nudge nudging updates out to just enough phones so someone can pull it and put it on the interwebs. Know what I mean? Say no more.

This update is really starting to upset me. I do want to root my phone. I want a stock experience that works. I guess I have to wait patiently to have Verizon officially push the update to my phone. Only time will tell what I end up doing. If this drags out pass the time the droid razr hd is out I plan to force Verizon's hand and hoping they will let me get that phone. I know its a stretch but I figure why not...

You dont have to root and unlock to installed the 4.0.4 IMM76 update.

I used instructions found here to update my BONE STOCK 4.0.2 GNex to the latest 4.0.4 leak.

When all is said and done, phone is not rooted or unlocked. As if the OTA was pushed right to the phone.

**abdon_junbug** · 05-23-2012, 11:07 PM

What a conundrum. I just bought my GNex on friday. I want to update so bad to 4.0.4 to see if my radios improve. I don't want to root because I won't be able to return it if I do.
The update method shows how to update the phone using a windows machine. I'm using a Mac and I don't know enough about terminal to try and translate the steps.

The folks at Verizon said they don't know when they send out the update. Isn't that absurd!

My options are: (a)keep the phone and hope the update fixes it, (B) return the phone all together, or (c) figure out how to update manually.

Any Ideas?

I would exchange if i could, for another GN or whatever, because the fact is that the GN is not seeing very much support and it would suck to be stuck with a phone that has problems from the get go.

**Spiderman13** · 05-24-2012, 08:19 AM

Return the phone pronto.

Just so you know, it's VERY simple to unroot and relock your device if you want to return it using a toolkit like Wug's. I never had issues when I was stock, but now I get LTE in a concrete skyscraper where nobody gets LTE. So, the new radios are certainly an improvement, at least for me and my nexus. Take a look
