Force Android Software Update

[BlueAce127]

Hey there. As my first forum post on Android Central, I was wondering about the methods to force an update to the latest available software on your phone. I have a [yakjuux] Galaxy Nexus on Android 4.1.1. But, Android 4.2.1 is currently being pushed out to some people in Canada.

Now, I'm aware of two methods to force an update without rooting...

1. Use the *#*#checkin#*#* code in the Phone app
2. Clearing data of the 'Google Services Framework' and force stop

I'm not exactly sure of the full effects of using the second method. So my question is...
What happens after clearing the Google Services Framework? Does the Google account, associated with the phone, get modified in anyway? (Deleted, reset, etc.) Or... Is the Google account not affected at all?

Some feedback would be greatly appreciated!

No, the account doesn't get deleted. However, it may take a little while for your phone to re-sync up with your Google account.

Alright. I was just worried that something may get reset or altered in some way... Thanks for the help.

No, the account doesn't get deleted. However, it may take a little while for your phone to re-sync up with your Google account.

And that re-syncing took in my case 4-5days,can't remember exactly.
At the end it didn't push faster upgrade.
Just my experience, good luck BlueAce127

Thanks for the info Wolfroid. I forgot to say that I have already updated my Galaxy Nexus to Android 4.2. But it's helpful to know all this for future reference.
