Wow, looks like other carriers don't take forever to approve updates for the Nexus phones. Once again VZW screws the customer. Can't say that I'm surprised at all by this.
Thanks for being consistent.

Now even the Canadians get Jelly Bean before VZW customers

I thought everyone else EXCEPT FOR VERIZON had already updated to JB

Well done Verizon. Well done.

I recently emailed vzw about my dissatisfation with the lack of info pertaining to updates, and that any info is good just to tell people they are working on it. I was shocked when I received an informative replay and said it was unofficial of course to cover themselves.
The email stated they are having problems with the JB Gnex update and it pertains to the radios. They have to create new radios for the update for it to be released and that it will be a few weeks before the update will be released.
I posted the email over at androidcentral forums with screenshots of the email in the Galaxy nexus forum as proof. The email was censored poorly though from the sender and when it went into details about the radios and problems someone deleted a paragraph and left a half written sentence. so I guess outgoing emails from verizon are censored too like these forums here.

Google Voice Won't Work With Bluetooth Headset After Jelly Bean

I am SO frustrated. I had no idea I was installing the Jelly Bean update when I updated the software on my phone. Note to Verizon Communications team: PLEASE do a better job of communicating significant software updates. I would not have installed Jelly Bean. I learned long ago to stick with factory OS on my phones.
Since the update, I noticed that I could no longer dictate texts and emails. Also, my call recording app no longer worked. I switched to Swype and it would work for a few minutes and then stop. I could still use my bluetooth headset to make calls and S voice worked (although, like others here, I noticed that it's now worse--it doesn't recognize any contact names I request anymore). After trolling Android forums I found that the problem is with the bluetooth headset. You can still dictate when the phone's bluetooth is on, but when a device is connected, all bets are off.
I almost did a factory reset, but then I read that a hard reset will not restore ICS, nor did it resolve this bluetooth Google Voice issue for the few people who tried it already. In fact, resetting caused more problems (eg., more battery drain and removal of Adobe Flash, etc.).
Does anyone know how I can go back to ICS? Bluetooth and Google Voice are the two features I value most in my phones. This is a NIGHTMARE.

rcschnoor -
The Bluetooth/Voice Search/Dictation issue is a valid issue for the OP, a valid issue for me and oh yeah, the hundreds of other people affected by the, "Google Voice Search stuck on "Initializing" bug filed here on the Google Android Project page. Here is yet another reference to the same issue from Android Central.
The "Google Music freezing after Jelly Bean Update on Galaxy S3" is also a valid and documented bug located here also on the Google Android Project page.
So I ask, how does sharing with these people that do have these issues, and are affected by them, that you are not experiencing these issues help in any way? Isn't that the whole purpose of a community forum to help others?

Jelly bean issue?

i just updated my nexus to jelly bean (finally) but now when i get a call my phone don't ring ? any fix?

Hi Solis80,
Oh my! Sorry to hear about your issues with the device after the software update. I definitely want to get this issue resolved for you. Please try removing the back cover, battery and the sim card for about one minute. If this does not resolve your issue, we would need to complete a hard reset. http://bit.ly/swCYZF.

No notification bubbles after Jelly Bean update.

Hello, my Galaxy S3 no longer shows the number of missed calls or text messages in little bubbles on the lock-screen. apparently it's a problem/change on Verizons side of Jelly Bean, since other S3 carriers don't suffer from this. Is there a way to fix it, if it's a bug, and does Verizon know about it? Or was it intentional?
I've factory restored the device and all, no change.

I want the bubble notification back. Other carriers still have it and this upsets me greatly. I love being able to use the shortcut and it went right to the msg or email.
i noticed the battery consumption but didn't connect that to jelly bean... WTH verizon what were you thinking. get your butts in gear and fix this. fix the calendar too. I'm now very unhappy with being a verizon customer. i love my phone now put it right PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU FIX MY PHONE

Jelly Bean Battery Drain Caused by Offline Music in Google Play Music

I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 and upgraded to Jelly Bean (JRO03L.I535VRBLK3) on 12/14. I immediately experienced terrible battery life with media server being the second highest after the screen in battery consumption. I read a factory reset solved the problem for some, but it didn’t for me, and eventually, I think I found the source of the problem. Google Play Music and Media Server.
I was able to fix the problem by clearing all data (includes any offline music) and then uninstalling all updates to Google Play Music (v4.4.811H is the update I got rid of, I am now on v4.4.615.481147 which came with the JB update).
While on v4.4.811H, music would pause itself, no sound from headphone although visually everything is still playing, and would just stop responding all together. Once those things happened the phone must think it is still processing sound since the volume key continues to control the media volume and not the ring tone volume. The only way to get it back to normal would be a restart of the phone.
I'm not sure if this is a Jelly Bean issue or Google Play Music issue, either way, Verizon should look into it.

I have the same exact issue. I thought my battery life was a little worse after upgrading to Jelly Bean. Also, there have been multiple instances where Google Music has stopped playing my music after about 2-3 songs and when I try to skip to the next song, play, stop anything inside Google Music, it will not play any more songs. I have to go to the Task Manager and kill Google Music. Once I restart it, it seems to be fine for a while. It seems to play songs that I have on my local device (downloaded from Google Music) just fine, but only time will tell. This needs to be looked into right away; this is not acceptable.

A new Version of Google maps is Rolling out today should I say the Version varies with the phone that you carry so if your Read for something new have Look in your PlayStore's my Apps area and it should be there..
Happy Googling.. b33

I agree - having proper change logs also for these application/service updates would be nice. We are working on some improvements on how to improve the messaging around these.
This Nokia Store update was mandatory thought (user is not able to skip it, if they intend to continue to use the Store).

Jelly Bean update completely killed true hands free voice dialing.

Regardless of the fact that S-Voice (as well as Google Voice dialing/search) is unable to recognize most of my contacts, it's also a fact that by definition, it cannot work as a true hands free voice dialer, which is defined as the ability to make a call without touching (or even seeing) the phone AT ALL. This is due to the simple fact that neither S-Voice nor Google Voice dial/search allows you to say "yes" or "no" to a phone number confirmation prompt. In other words, you need to see the screen at some point in order select the correct number to dial. Prior to the Jelly Bean update, this issue was relatively easily solved by using a third party app -- I preferred an app called "Cyberon Voice Commander" -- to take over the voice dialing duties. The first time you hit the Bluetooth button after installing the app, you could select the default program to respond to the BT button. I simply selected the Cyberon Voice Commander app, and everything worked from this point forward -- I could dial a number without ever taking the phone out of it's case.
With the Jelly Bean update, however, this is suddenly no longer possible because S-Voice completely takes over the Bluetooth button, and does not allow another app to take over as the default. The "launch by default" section for S-Voice in the application manager is now greyed out, and says "no defaults set" for S-Voice even though S-Voice is set as the default program to launch when pressing the BT button. The only "potential" solution is to completey "disable" S-Voice via the application manager, which does allow you to select Cyberon Voice Commander as the default BT button press app, but there are two problems with this. First, the default resets when turning the phone on even though you select "always" for the CVC app. This means that you have to re-select the third party app as the default BT button app EVERY time the phone is turned off. Second, disabling S-Voice is not a solution because I still would like to use it for things OTHER than voice dialing. Disabling it completely removes it from the menu, making it unusable even for things that it is better at.
I cannot believe how hard S-Voice is being shoved down our throats. Why would they make it mandatory? The whole point of Android is that it's supposed to be "open" and allow users to individually decide on their own way of doing things -- i.e. to offer multiple approaches that suit your preferences rather than adopting a narrow minded "we decide what's best" attitude. This is the whole reason that I moved away from Apple. This S-Voice situation, however, is just ridiculous. It's fine to push it as an "option," but please keep it OPTIONAL -- particularly given that it literally CAN'T do what other apps do (i.e. true hands free dialing.)

A few things you can try ... turn off the phone, remove the SIM card, wait a few minutes, then reinsert the SIM card and re-boot the phone. Maybe a fresh connection to the network will improve the signal/call quality.
Do a system cache clear; it won't delete your data:
Power down phone
Hold volume up/down & power simultaneously until you see the Boot Mode Selection Menu
Use volume down to navigate to 'Recovery', use volume up to select
You should see screen with triangle and exclamation point next to an Android
Press volume up/down simultaneously to go into system recovery
Use volume rocker to navigate to 'wipe cache' and use power button to select
Once finished, use volume rocker to navigate to 'reboot system now' and use power button to select
If all else fails, back everything up, remove the SD card to be on the safe side, and factory reset the phone. No, it's not a preferred option, but sometimes that is what it takes to 'clear out the cobwebs' after an operating system update.

Can I avoid this Jelly Bean system update?

I see so many issues being posted. I am not a techie and cannot afford to spend hours fixing problems that come from a software update. Can I just not do the update? Will maybe the bugs be worked out and I can do it after that? Thanks for any help you all can provide.

Yes, there is an issue. See the post from Ann154 etc. about the lost punctuation bar: "NO...it was on the bar where the autocorrect spelling words come up right above the touch screen keyboard and you do not have to shift any keys to use it...it is touch screen and it has ? ! and some others and they are now gone and I have to shift for every punctuation and it ***** and the autocorrect doesn't auto correct...just gives suggestions which I have to touch to correct. I type documents all day and this is just not going to work for me" That's exactly what's happened to my Samsung Galaxy Nexus which is only a few months old and has only had one app added to what it came with.
I know about selecting the 123 button but that's not what I'm referring to. I need the autopunctuation choices that I had previously. Unfortunately, turning the device on and off did not work for me. Still not seeing the lost punctuation bar. Cynindesign expresses the same fear I have about using a hard reset and what Backup Assistant will restore. And I have searched forums as has been suggested twice and not found out how to back up things. As I said before, I not a techie, a smart professional with degrees and experience, but a neophyte when it comes to smartphones. Can you give me the link to the instructions?
Do you work for Verizon? Is there a way to have some kind of update or other fix to address these bugs with the Jelly Bean update? Can I go to a Verizon store to get this fixed. Thanks.
Once again (and I see your keyboard "issue" has been resolved) a hard reset is in order. The store is not going to be as nice. They will reset it and you most likely will lose your pictures. You have back up assistant and google. your contacts will be fine. I do not work for verizon. And search is yoru friend. why should I search for you?

Jelly Bean - Email AutoSync No Longer Works

I am at Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean) on my stock Samsung Galaxy S3. Since the Jelly Bean upgrade, my e-mail will MANUALLY sync e-mails, but will no longer AUTOMATICALLY sync e-mails per the Peak/Off-Peak schedule for any of my e-mail accounts except for my Exchange account. I have tried:
Adjusting the Peak/Off-Peak schedules to several different times / schedules.
Changing the period to synch from 1 Month or 100 e-mails to 1 month.
Accessing the Email app via the Applications interface and clearing all data.Step above obviously necessitated re-entering all e-mail accounts.
I have confirmed that Settings>Email(under Accounts Header) shows a green synch icon beside all four of my non Exchange accounts.
I've been messing with this for a number of days now and I'm hitting a wall. This is not a menu-based configuration issue as far as I can tell AND it worked fine under ICS.
In case someone wants the information to diagnose, the non-exchange Accounts:
2 x @bellsouth.net (associated with my AT&T service, but hosted by yahoo.com service).
1 x @yahoo.com
1 x @gmail.com
My settings for synchronization (for all four accounts):
All days selected.
Peak schedule: Every Hour
Off-peak Schedule: Never
Peak start @ 7:00 AM
Peak end @ 10:00 PM
While Roaming: Use Above Settings.
Any suggestions? (Other than the usual default "Have you tried a factory reset" that would require me to spend a day trying to get everything set back up and is basically a support tree "I can't figure it out easily so let's make your life harder because I can't be bothered" type of solution.)

Mine started @ JB, but in trying to research the problem on my own - I can confirm your observation that people are reporting sync issues across multiple platforms / e-mail providers. What is weird about it is that on irregular occasions, one of my accounts will actually "sync." As an example since I wrote the original post - I did get notification of new emails in one of my accounts - I have purposely not been manually checking my accounts to see what is happening. Interestingly, When I look at Settings>Email, it shows all of my accounts having been sync'd at 10:00 AM. So what does that mean? Sync is partially working, but not consistently (e-mails from across 4 hours came in when it is set to sync hourly) and even within the phone the sync status isn't being displayed correctly. Something is clearly fubar'd I just don't know what. (thanks for the advice though)

Jelly Bean upgrade for AT300 3G model

Hi. I read an old thread (1 month ago) that JB has not been rolled out to AT300 with 3G due to some modem driver issue. Does anyone know when will this be fixed and when JB update will come for 3G model?.

Dear mates,
Stuck with the same issue like the most of you - 3G version AT300-105 with "smashing" 4.0.3 Android on it and with no apparent update in sight.
I am really disappointed with this as I need this device for work and to make matters worse, some of Android features I need are full of bugs on this version.
This is a expensive 650 euro tablet from a well-branded manufacturer, not some 80 euro low-end from an unknown manufacturer and I believe the former ones receive better support than we do. For this amount of money I could have purchase just about anything else. too bad I got suckered in for full SD card slot.
I read most of your posts and I am insulted by the "3G driver issue" which was stated . As a customer I could not care less about this excuse. It is Toshiba's hardware, their engineers chose it, and they should deal with it. Just to remind dear friends in Toshiba that there were three major Android updates since their initial release for this tablet:
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (API level 16)
Android 4.2 Jelly Bean (API level 17)
Android 4.3 Jelly Bean (API level 18)
Android 4.4 KitKat (API level 19)
They had four releases after the initial one to fix the modem issue and I sincerely doubt they even bothered to try.
If they really cared they could have gone with issuing the newer release without modem drivers with warning for customers and possibility to roll back if wanted, but no, it is easier to use such petty excuse and do nothing. Shameful and disrespectful to buyers. If they don't do anything positive, which I doubt as I have this product for over a year and nothing was done, this will probably be the last thing I ever got from this company.

Jelly Bean Upgrade Issues

Hello. After receiving the Jelly Bean upgrade, my Nexus will not longer connect to WiFi. It doesn't matter if I'm at home, work or out for the night. The toggle will go to "on", but will stay gray and then time out. Also, the OS doesn't seem to be as fast. Is anyone having similiar issues? Is there a fix for this?

ClevBrowns1-
I'm sorry the wifi is not working properly since the update. I am able to use wifi on my Nexus like always. If you enable safe mode (steps http://bit.ly/OHgHtf) then try to use wifi, is it still an issue? Please keep me posted.
Thanks

Xperia arc S will not get Jelly Beans

Closed toppic, multiple posts.
As officially stated on Facebook, Xperia arc S and mini pro will not get Jelly beans update.
http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/07/26/official-2011-sony-xperia-handsets-will-not-get-android-4-1-jel...
As a conclusion of this, Jelly Beans will not be rolled out to any 2011 phone, as the arc S is the last and top model of the 2011 line.
One of the best things in this facebook post is the proposal to buy a new phone...
This proved again to be a lie of Sony, stating that they will support and update phones for at least 18 months.

there are a lot of simillar posts like this, you can try to search the forum ,
