Galaxy Nexus Android 4.2, JellyBean Update Leaks for Verizon
The Galaxy Nexus Android 4.2, JellyBean update for the Verizon model leaked in the form of a new ROM.
This ROM allows the device to run the new software, but it could be a bit slow and feature some bugs. The official version will run a lot smoother. Users who decide to download the new ROM should back up their smartphone since it will void the warranty.
The official update should be rolling out in a couple of months, according to YouMobile.org.
The official Nexus 4 Android 4.2.2, JellyBean update is now available; however, it comes at a small price.
Once the software update is downloaded, the phone's baseband software will be altered a bit, completely disabling the partial unofficial LTE connectivity.
Most Nexus owners will not notice the change as they haven't tweaked the device to access LTE.
Android 4.2.2, JellyBean brings some minor fixes and stability enhancements to the device.
Quick settings has been enhanced to allow for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth setting changes and users will hear new sounds when the handset is charged wirelessly along with a different low battery notification.
Users will also not be prompted to allow the connection when they plug their smartphone into their computer for the first time.
The wireless charger for the Nexus 4 smartphone is now available in the Google Play store.
The accessory retails for $59.99 and ships in less than one week. The charger bears a striking resemblance to the Nexus Q device that Google pulled off shelves after its initial launch last year.
Google originally announced the wireless charger for the Nexus 4 back in October. It's almost four months later and Google has finally posted it in the Play store, allowing customers to order the device. The charger can reportedly give the Nexus 4 a full charge in 4 hours time.
