Galaxy Nexus Shipments to Retailers to Resume This Week Following Software Fix

Much was made regarding the Samsung Galaxy Nexus’s volume bug. Some deemed it a hardware issue and pronounced the device is doomed. Others had faith Samsung and Google would quickly find the problem and provide a quick fix (which they did).

Those who were hit hardest were those who couldn’t buy the device right away, though. If your retailer made stock unavailable or if they ran out and you haven’t been given a clue as to when they’d be putting it back up for sale, you can rest easy knowing shipments will resume sometime this week.

Samsung had to cease shipping the device due to the bug (which wasn’t really experience breaking) in order to reflash all the devices with the software fix baked in. If you already have the device or happen to buy one that wasn’t reflashed, you can just check for the OTA upgrade going out to everyone. [EuroDroid]
