Good news for Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S 4G owners on Sprint. A Phandroid tipster just sent us the above leaked image from Sprint’s employee Playbook confirming that the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update is due to rollout tomorrow, September 6th. This will bring the software version up to FH05 for Galaxy Nexus users, and JRO03R for those with the Nexus S 4G.
By now, you already know exactly what to expect with Jelly Bean, so mark it on your calendars, folks! It’s also said that you wont be able to pull OTA on your own, and will instead have to wait for Google to push out the update to your device. But I’m sure that wont stop you from trying. Cheers!
Thanks, _epic!
YO!!! Us Verizon users are waiting!
+1
ICS for the PHOTON is scheduled for Q4 2012,anything else beyond that is a mystery...iphone5Amazing.blogspot.com
my toro ain’t waiting….had JB since the day G announced it :)
Verizon is still making up reasons not to release it.
Root, and you’ll never look back… trust me :)
good loox sprint…now getz me mah LTE in chicago!
Thank you Jesus
I don’t understand why someone would own a Nexus, and still wait and complain about OTA updates. If you got a Nexus for the fast updates, then root it and updates will be nearly as soon as they are announced.
Yup, I’ve had jelly bean on my Sprint Gnex since mid July… I wouldn’t ever have a Nexus and not root it
Exactly. It takes minutes to update. If you’re going to complain, get different phone
Its the principle of the matter
because the purpose of a Nexus device is to get updates directly from Google for as long as the device is supported, with immediate effect. You can root any phone and ROM it… so I don’t see what the point of saying someone should have to root to get it. You can apply the same root statement to anyone else without JB…. it’s kind of a useless thing to say.
Is the Moto photon ever going to get an update? Is my phone a dud?

CONGRATS to all SPRINT G NEX & NEXUS S owners…… ENJOY!
Earlier I got a update for google search on my Sprint GS3 but i went to go update and it said it wasnt compatible, so that makes me believe that were gonna be getting it fairly soon.
horrible news for Verizon customers…..
Couldn’t agree with you more
Damn you Verizon!!!
I wonder if it actually happens.
I’m with you, Ryan. I’ve been teased before. Has anyone actually gotten the update yet?
oh yeah my gnex has been getting tired of the apex nova jelly bean theme finally lol
Oh well I’m not to worried. That’s awesome sprint is pushing the update but I’m rooted and on JB right now and its the best ROM ever. Those of you who aren’t. Go to XDA and download the tool kit onto your PC and its so easy, a caveman can do it :) lol serious tho, it took me literally about 30 mins if that and I’m a bit of a noob when it comes to root stuff. And you can always unroot it back to stock if your scared lol. ITS WORTH IT THO
Hopefully it does happen tomorrow… Plus it sucks not having 4G service :-(
This just reminds me to never buy a Nexus device from a carrier in the states.
