4.0.4 Unofficial Changelog *Update2 02/05*

[jkc120]

I bought a new GNex last week and immediately ran into bad connectivity issues when preferred network mode is set to LTE/CDMA. Basically no signal all (3G or 4G), even though I live in downtown Boston where there should be 4G. When I switch my preferred network mode from LTE/CDMA to CDMA, the 3G network works fine with no connectivity issues.

On the phone, Verizon told me that a software patch in May will fix the issue. A staffer at the Verizon store told me that I could already find the patch online and that it would solve the problem... I assumed he was talking about 4.0.4. I flashed 4.0.4 yesterday fully expecting it to solve my LTE connectivity problems but ..... no luck. I still get no signal using the LTE/CDMA setting. I can't even make or receive calls unless I switch back to CDMA.

Do I have a hardware issue? Are other people having the same problem? Should I trust Verizon and hope that the 4.0.5 OTA fixes the problem?

Sounds like bad hardware to me. You're still will within your 14 day return policy with VZW, so I'd go in and complain about it and get them to swap it out.

Hey guys .... sort of noob to this ...

Got the phone's bootloader unlocked today, then rooted, and installed RomMangager along with Titanium Backup Pro. So now I have a couple of quick questions:

1) Do I download this, rename to update.zip put on SD card, and then restart phone pressing vol up and down and then select update.zip and apply?

2) Will this wipe my apps? do I need to do a backup using Titanium first?

im having the same issue with music2.apk

Yes that works! Thanks so much!!

i was having some issues with the gmusic app so i deleted it. thus i get the following error:
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Music2.apk, loooooong string of number ....)
Error in sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)

I tried finding various versions of the Music2.apk & odex I found on the webs but none are working, guessing they're not gnex- if that matters, i dont know. (I put them in /system/app & chg permissions using root explorer)

Could someone please upload the stock Music2.apk & odex? Thx in advance!!

(one more sidenote: does the error message me that it is looking for Music2.apk and it doesnt find it/finds it or it is corrupt OR is it looking for something else, say, Music.apk and it is finding music2....?)

I got my GNex yesterday and I'm dying for the improvements noted in the changelog for 4.0.4.

I'm most concerned/excited for the speed increases. Can anyone explain them in further detail?

Specifically, is the delay between pressing something and having the next menu appear reduced/eliminated?

Didn't fix connectivity issues

I just recently received my GNex, and my first one had the same connectivity issues that many other people had. It would very commonly drop all signal, and then it would take some time to come back.

I had Verizon replace it and got the new one on Sunday. Same issues. I'm 99.9% sure it's a hardware issue, so I went in on Monday to see if they would replace it again. It was pointless. They just told me that there was supposed to be an update for it coming soon, and because of that, they would not replace it again. Well, I flashed the new radios after getting the leak, and guess what? Nothing has changed. I'm going to try calling them and just have them ship me a new one this time.

I don't know if anyone else will have better luck, but this isn't the fix that the phones need. Software isn't going to fix bad hardware.

Same situation here. Fully stock Nexus on 4.0.2 would drop data at a rate of about 2 times per hour in areas with high signal strength (3-4 bars minimum), most often right after unlocking it after it being in my pocket for awhile. Flashed the new radios and no improvement, dropped data about 5 minutes after flashing and it occurred 4 more times in the 2 hours since flashing.

I'm done, off to wait for a S3 or One X version for Verizon. Sad, I love stock Android but can't deal with this anymore. So jealous of those that have phones without these issues.
