does VZW have any say in what OTA updates Google can push to GN?
- Thread starter weboston
- Start date
Who knows the way Verizon treated the release date of this phone they probably do Google most likely has all the bugs fixed with a bad ass radio software update but there probably fighting over that

Lets not act like Sprint or Tmobile do not have a say in what gets pushed to the Nexus s or the original Nexus. The network is always going to have some say. The Nexus is better on updates because google is actively working on new updates all of the time and therefore they are always pushing one down the pipeline for a final release. The oems have to wait for google, take their sweet time afterward and then have to also get it through the network.....we will get our releases just like any other Nexus.

Not in the actual OS. ONLY in the radios.

Google doesn't even need permission to manufacture T-Mobile or AT&T phones because they're GSM. Just sell unlocked, pop in a SIM card and go. You can see this first hand from people importing GN phones for use on T-Mobile or AT&T - those carriers have no control as to when Google pushes an OTA update. Conversely, CDMA carriers have the power to deny access to their networks, so they have more control over what goes on their networks and how they operate. They can probably work out terms for OTA updates before a phone's release.

I could see that making a little sense if 4.0.3 was already rolled out to all Nexus models. Considering it isn't your point is moot. Seems like people are forgetting the Nexus is not only on Verizon. Also have we forgotten the GSM model was only recently updated to 4.0.2?

The 4.0.3 update is not the same for the Nexus S and the Galaxy Nexus. There are files unique to each phone, and the GN's update may not be ready yet. An update not being pushed doesn't automatically mean someone is stopping it - it might not even be finished.

with the kind of $$$ that Google has, why aren't the able to push new updates out on a weekly or bi-weekly basis? :-$
considering there is only one GN phone (two, if you count GSM and CDMA)

Okay, seriously given some of the bugs the Nexus has do you really think it was ready for release?

The GSM and CDMA/LTE versions are, for all intents and purposes, completely different devices. Google even thinks so, and it complicates the update process.
And, frankly, software updates for devices are far too complicated to be delivered as fast as that.

Google is big. But, VZW, AT&T and Samsung are all bigger.

Didn't they stop doing the update to the Nexus S because of the problems people were having?

I can't remember where but I read that all the updates for the GN will come directly from Google and Verizon will not touch them.

No one's quite sure. Google didn't really say.
But that's irrelevant to the update for the Galaxy Nexus.

Sorry, I meant that to say that the discussion of the Nexus S that originated in one of the other posts wasn't really relevant for the Galaxy Nexus situation. Wasn't directed to you specifically.

They stopped pushing the update for a short period, but then resumed pushing the same update.

Either I didn't explain my point well, or you completely missed my point.
