Android 4.2 for the Galaxy Nexus rolling out to some users, now available for manual download
With the launch of the Nexus 4 only a few short hours away, many of those with legacy Galaxy Nexuses are wondering just when they can expect Android 4.2 Jelly Bean to begin rolling out onto their devices. The good news is right now. Well, for some of you anyway. As one lucky user reported on his Google+ page, it looks like Google On The Spot, wasted no time in bringing his Galaxy Nexus the most up-to-date version of the Android. Youll notice some new features rarely talked about like the magnification gestures. Apparently, this user lives in Canada and is running on stock Takju (the unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus purchased from the Play Store). Of course, those of you on Sprint or Verizon Wireless have a little more waiting to do. If it hasnt rolled out to your Takju running Galaxy Nexus, you can manually download straight from Google here.

How come the sound in navigation is sometimes so low?
When I'm playing music, all the time, and navigation is on, the music will fade away and the nav can be heard loud and clear. Sometimes though the sound is so low it can barely be heard. I don't get it.

Well my brother tried to get a Nexus 4 from the UK play store, sold out almost immediately
Edit: on an unrelated note I dropped my galaxy nexus hard on Saturday

Hell no, CM sucks on the SII. The SII / SIIIs are the worst phones you could choose if you want to run CM.

Lock screen widgets work, and they work well but there also are some troubling security concerns
doesn't sound all that bad really...
it works extremely well... the worst part, until it gets fixed with their new "match" system, is uploading all your music.
Has non-US even gotten the Google Music phone player? Thats such a step above the old one
QWERTY users don't have a choice anymore, there isn't a single high end variant anymore. Not only that it seems like each carrier only gets 1 QWERTY phone every 9 months or so. Its a shame considering the OG droid started this whole android thing and now they abandon the QWERTY market.
Will get the Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere II for my wife as the droid 3 has been complete shit for her.

Sprint has had 3 in the past quarter! Kyocera Rise. Motorola Photon Q. LG Mach!
3rd paragraph.
If you had an android phone why would you use anything but the app?

O snap, all the mid tier crap phones she could want. Shame sprint doesn't even offer 4G in Indianapolis yet.

I've tried adding a few albums to Google Music in the UK. It definitely isn't doing any track matching for me, just uploading them. Maybe I messed it up by signing up through a proxy before...
Allowing you to view and interact with widgets without having to unlock your phone is exactly what we expected it to do, isn't it? Looks a bit buggy, though.
yeah, i would expect an announcement when the matching goes live. It seemed like almost an afterthought too in some press releases... i wish we had that damn conference.

Guess HTC never learned. I can't see this device lasting a full day on normal use. That and no expandable memory really is a headscratcher since everything else about this phone is great.

Can you elaborate on this? I thought that was just for the international versions because Samsung wouldn't release source
Nicktendo86

I bet they had a pathetically small inventory
Rumor is, carriers are forcing phone companies to do that. Low storage, no expansion + Tiered Plans = $$$
Samsung can get away with it since they are the biggest cellphone maker. HTC can't afford not to play by Verizon's rules.
/speculation
HTC and Sony do it in oversea prepaid markets too. Don't excuse them.

Samsung's inevitable S4 will probably shitdestroy HTC for good in the android space. It was fun, cowboy.

I would just like to say that it is a hugely missed opportunity that when you have multiple user accounts on a device, that there isn't just a general face-unlock that unlocks the correct user profile for the correct face.
Or am I missing something?

Anyway to upload music from my phone to Google Music other than moving it to my computer and uploading it from there?
Eh, Samsung's got bigger fish to fry. No one in the Android space will touch them at least for the next year.
Can you explain? Because I was planning on an S3 with CM10 :|

I've been running CM10 on my s3 since late July, and I've loved every minute of it. There's only been a few niggles here and there but that's expected.
Perhaps those small issues will be taken care of in the stable release of CM10!

Unfortunately no
Do you know if they are they going to base CM10 on 4.1 or 4.2?
