Installed 4.1.2 factory (rooted) from XDA. It's smooth.
One-finger expandable notifications are a bit flaky though.

Better than Swype?
Thanks, but is there no free or trial app to check this?

2.89 is a lot cheaper than a new battery.
I've ordered a 2300mAh battery for $3.19
For testing; if the problem continues with the new battery, then it's the wake lock. If not, then it's the battery and I still have warranty on the phone, so will get it replaced for free.
Did anyone else get the 4.1.2. OTA update?
At this time yes the gnex is the best off contract phone you can get for its price. But there are rumors the new nexus will come out at $400 so you might want to wait for that. I'm assuming the gnex will drop in price too.
MASSIVE GRIPE:
When on a call and I receive another call, there are no controls on the screen to end the current call! I can answer the incoming call but it just puts the other call on hold and doesn't give me the option to end the call. Is this just me missing something blatantly obvious or is this a massive oversight by Google??
Yeah, it's weird, and it's been like that in Android for as long as I can remember. As far as I can tell, Google just assumes that the other person will hang up the phone, which ends the call.
It is so dumb. I posted on the Google+ Page today but I doubt it will be heard.

That said, how does the GN run Jellybean?
The main UI and core apps run great, 3rd party apps run like poop though.Ridiculously well. It's every bit as fast and responsive as the iPhone 4S that I came from.

Really? Have you compared it to how 3rd party apps run on other devices? I'm curious if it a GN issue or an Android issue.

I just got the update all the way over here in Oz. Quickest turn around for an ota ever. Shame major updates never come this quickDid anyone else get the 4.1.2. OTA update?
It's an android issue. Apps do not have to be coded to meet certain requirements unlike iOS. It all depends if the developer actually makes it work well. Case in point, the LivingSocial app.

There are crappy performing apps true, but it isn't a GN issue. Also, many of the performance problems can be mitigated by enabling forced hardware acceleration for apps and restarting.

4.1.2 broke my camera. it now crashes on launch saying "gallery has stopped working"
Got a replacement GN from Verizon to address some 4g issues I was having.
Replacement has underlying LCD damage (looks like water damage or something). Another replacement should be here today. Here's hoping...
My screen has been cracked for months and I've been putting off getting a replacement for reasons.
Do you guys use screen protectors? What cases do y'all use?

I finally got 4.1.2
It doesn't seem any smoother so I guess the only change is the one finger expansion.
This is a Galaxy Nexus threadFor galaxy nexus or nexus 7?
This is a Galaxy Nexus threadyes, the gnex
The LG Nexus is about to be announced, probably on October 29th. I would hold off on buying the Galaxy Nexus until we see how much it will cost.
Are LG phones pretty decent? Is this the next flagship?
I'm looking at getting a nexus sometime in the coming month but I'm concerned that it's nearly a year old. Would everyone here still recommend it because I really like the look of it.
