Speaking of, the official @Android tweeted that 4.0.4 is hitting "UMTS/GSM Nexus S, Xoom Wi-Fi, and HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus devices."
SMH Verizon
What bug?
Soooo, what does 4.0.4 actually do?

Work In Progress. Will update as I discover more:

Long-pressing on a blank spot on the last page of app tray bug is gone
New Radios. 3G/4G switching MUCH better. Don't even notice it changing.
Improved signal strength
New Power Menu. New from 4.0.2, familiar to those who have used a stock 4.0.3 rom. Screenshot here
PRIMELA03 Bootloader
Faster boot up time
Auto-brightness Functionality changed. Smooth transition
Holding down camera button now refocuses again
Multitouch issue seems resolved. Screenshot here
Autorotate is faster
Browser performance noticeably improved
Recent apps list opens faster
Miscellaneous camera UI changes
Increased volume
Keyboard fixes
Updated News & Weather app UI
Improved quick controls in browser. New when coming from 4.0.2. Present in 4.0.3. Screenshot here (Update: 02/05)

Where do you read it was not rolling out for GSM GNS???
You guys/gals need to chill out. Last time there was an official GSM update it took about three weeks for my phone to get the update pushed to it. Some will get it sooner than others.
I'm still on 4.0.1 and it shows that I have the latest version. :/
The one where images aren't fit to screen and you have to scroll around to read the entire email message because you can't zoom?
Also, has anyone figured out a way to get Picasa upload working without having to delete and re-add your other accounts?
I'd want to be able to organize my photos in albums (from trips, events, etc.) and be able to have the same sets on the web or on my phone.isnt' the photo feature in google+ the replacement for picasa? why not just use google + instant upload.
That's not a bug, it is meant to be that way and it fuckin sucks I agree. I have a feeling it has to do with patents involving zooming in on independent zones in an application or something. That's all I can come up with.
The lack of zoom is one thingthat's been a longstanding issuebut I'm pretty sure HTML formatted emails and pictures were always fit-to-width or zoomed out in the gmail app on honeycomb and gingerbread apps and that something changed with ICS. Iirc Nexus S that got the early pulled ICS update experienced the same problem.

So for those of us that are using the leaked 4.0.4, what's the best way to go about rolling back to be able to get the official 4.0.4?
the yakju is the only variant that get upates directly from google, but there is a way convert to yakju by flashing stock yakju images.GSM Nexus here on the YAKJUX build with root:
1) Is the YAKJUX build part of the 4.04 rollout?
2) Does the fact that I have root fuck things up for me if I do an OTA update?
You should not need to roll back to flash official 4.0.4.
well, with the Google+ auto upload, they're uploaded to Picasa. you can organize them on the website.
But it's not necessary that I would want all my pictures to be published on G+. I'd rather have them on Picasa where no can view them unless I link it to them.
Auto upload does not publish them. No one can see them unless you share.
yeah, this. they're all uploaded to a private folder by default. you have to explicitly share them with circles after.
God dammit. I swear it was zero effort to flash ROMs on the Nexus One with ADB. Seems with the GNex, you have to root, push the file with ADB into cache and then flash. Think i'll just wait for the OTA
Question: I was browsing gaf on the Chrome browser this morning and clicked a youtube link but didnt bring up the option to open the video in youtube. Instead, Chrome tried opening it and couldnt load the video..
I tried clearing the defaults for both Chrome and the youtube app but that didnt help. SOmething Im overlooking?
Chrome can't handle youtube links... for now.
That explains it. Thanks.

I just had it handle Maps today, I think.
Oh and if anyone is worrying about my battery life, it's a lot better now for some reason. Drains half as fast as it did the first week or so I had it. Maybe I just needed to stress the battery a little, or the calibration was off or something.

First week is the OMG-I-HAVE-A-NEW-PHONE-I-NEED-TO-PLAY-WITH-IT-ALL-THE-TIME period. Isn't really a good way to gauge day to day use.
Been playing with an iphone 4s as my daily driver this week.
Makes the Gnex extended battery look like the doggy doo it is.
To be fair, the Gnex IS pushing a whole inch more of screen, but still. Amazing to pull my phone out of my pocket at noon and see it with 96% battery.
To be fair, the photos ARE publicly viewable, if you know the random 100 character string URL.
