Re: Sprint Galaxy Nexus gets official OTA Jelly Bean tomorrow (Se

You and I are mental twins. Exactly how I think and feel.

I'm as annoyed as just about all the people who have posted here at Verizon. I was hoping the Nexus phone would provide updates quickly-hasnt really turned out that way. I've generally been a purist and have not modified the phone because I am nervous I'm going to brick or break it. TO be honest, the true power in this phone is twofold:
1-Verizon's network is arguably the best out there.
2-While their updates are so frustrating slow, you have the ability to tinker with it and flash what you want on it.

I've not taken advantage of option two-I'm serious thinking about finding out how to do this-I think I saw a guide from Dmmark somewhere and thats probably the best route. I feel like a dunce but I dont understand all the rooting and such and dont feel like setting my phone back to factory default either (also lazy).

Don't Panic. Start there then read the unlocking guides. Or read them in tandem. I'll be there to help .

agreed... Sprint 3G coverage is bad(but not as bad as the worst one, T-Mobile)
Sprint 4G is about as easy to find as Romney's tax returns between 1997 and 2005.
(particulary 2003-2004)

but if a sucky Sprint can manage to squeeze OTA jelly bean
out so "qucikly" what does that say about Verizon?

I think the real answer here is you should of went with TMobile or AT & T and got the GSM version and you would be first in line

Sprint/Verizon will always hold up an update with their proprietary files and extensive internal testing.

Everything else being equal I would switch to another carrier based on how fast they give me the latest os. But you know what? Everything else is not equal. I do not base my choice of network on the speed of os updates. I base it on coverage where I live and travel.

Yup. You should see the signal comparison between my Verizon GN and my fianc?e's Sprint GN in the same exact location. That's why I stick with Big Red, at least until the next Nexus is released.

They found them and are holding them hostage for 1 million bucks......The tax returns I am referrign too. The 3g/4g Sprint is still no where to be found. We need the guy who found the tax returns to find Sprint.

What are they testing????? If the GSM one works then fire up the CDMA..

Your guess is as good as mine

Only thing I can gather is once they add in their custom/locked down proprietary files they need to test them out for a while to fix any bugs that are created. Otherwise its just a bunch of smoke and mirrors on their part in my book.

A part of me really loves the fact that it gets pointed out time and time again by failing yet another litmus test. I hope they continue to get schooled by the other guys so that they actually start caring more about their customer.

Tmobile is looking more and more interesting every day.

So my friend has a galaxy nexus from sprint here in Vegas and he just got his update
Why did I go Verizon? Better coverage that's why. But damn these updates take forever

It sucks that we have to wait for the updates as long as we do. I know it's not for everyone but I've just resorted to flashing the test build of Jelly bean. I'll say this much, it's a great update and haven't run into any problems.

Re: Sprint Galaxy Nexus gets official OTA Jelly Bean tomorrow (Se

I guess this means Verizon Wireless has officially ditched current Verizon Galaxy Nexus owners and moving on?

'm just mad that VZ doesn't seem to care that
a third-rate cell carrier like Sprint is getting OTA JB to its customers first.

Umm...if memory serves, Sprint GNex got the 4.0.4 update before us as well...

This means nothing
