***** The Official Galaxy Nexus Thread *****

Right, got bored of waiting for the OTA (and frustrated at the problem) so just rooted and flashed the Android Revolution HD 1.3 ROM. It contains the volume fix and so far everything seems fine :)

Main problem was during the rooting process...getting the USB drivers to work (as it always is) but all was well in the end.
 
I will see tomorrow if i will get the bug at work as due to thickness of the walls i get only 2g...


Can i switch predictive text dictionary when posting on forums? It works everywhefe apart of replying to posts...
 
well i sold my SGS2 for this and have no regrets even though i had the volume bug since launch! (fixed now incase u are unaware)

well coming from a HTC Desire straight to a Gnex i think would be a massive jump...the screen is way to big for me! i think a move to the s2 and then eventually to the Gnex would work out better! :)

Actually the screens are about the same size, because the GN doesnt have hardware buttons.
 
To those wanting to update manually.

Place the zip on your sdcard, you'll need it later.

You will first need to get your computer talking to your nexus, both with ADB and fastboot. Since you've bought a Nexus, may as well do this sooner rather than later! :)

Pick your link, whichever you prefer, the end result is mostly the same. If you have a Linux box (and you should!) then things are much less of a faff.

Once this is done, you need to power off your phone, then turn it on with all three hardware buttons held down until fastboot appears. Plug in your phone, it will install the drivers. You may need to tell Windows where they are, in the directory you put them when you followed the instructions above. Once done...

Run
fastboot devices
to check your Nexus is showing correctly to the computer
if yes
fastboot oem unlock
select yes on the phone, it'll factory reset so you'll lose everything in /data but not on /mnt/sdcard. So your pics and music etc are safe, but not apps and settings!

Download Clockwork Recovery from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357642
It is an .img, you can choose to either boot it, keeping your recovery original, or flash it, writing over your recovery.

So, with the image in the path from which you are running fastboot
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.2-maguro.img
(may as well boot first, and make a clockwork backup, which will backup the original recovery!)
or
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.2-maguro.img
Follow the menu options to flash a zip from sdcard, and select the zip you placed on sdcard at the beginning. It'll apply, it takes a little while, even though it's tiny, as it is patching existing files, rather than replacing them! :)

Choose reboot, and your done!

If you elected to only boot from clockwork, everything will still be stock, you could even at this point
fastboot oem lock
And everything will be back as it were, except now you'll have the update!

Of course, down the line there will be a whole slew of ROM's available to play with, and CM9! Once you start using custom ROM's, OTA's will become irrelevant as most custom ROM's for this phone will be up to speed with AOSP! :) This OTA is an exception as it fixes a critical bug.

I hope someone finds this helpful and not a load of drival. I can help all I can with anyone stuck. Really the hardest part is getting adb and fastboot working, the rest is simple!
 
Vodafone have annoyed me.
Got txt yesterday 10mins after order saying it'd be delivered today.
Got another txt this morning saying that they dont know when it will be delivered.
Phoned them, 'order not on system, can you ring back at 9 when the warehouse is open?'.

:mad:
 
so im 3hours and 2mins on battery.
battery is on 86%, screen used 32% and was only on for 13mins...so it ate a lot of battery ....
lets wait and see how it goes for a day...

And android OS ate 16%...
 
Ok rooted and installed Android Revolution last night...but now when i try and charge the phone when its switched off, it freezes at the battery symbol and wont respond. Needs a battery pull to get anywhere. It wont even turn on.

Can anyone else running a custom ROM check if they get the same thing?
 
Really suffering with this volume bug now and still no sign of any ota patch. Starting to get really annoyed with the whole situation. They had better resolve it soon!
