Android 4.2 finally coming to ‘yakju’ Samsung Galaxy Nexus, factory image is now available
Share:
The first reports of users getting over-the-air updates to 4.2 have surfaced, and most importantly Google has published the factory image on its developers’ website. And how do you tell which version you have? There are plenty of apps with this kind of information on the Play Store and we personally used Android System Info which is free.
This means that even if the update has not yet appeared for a super easy OTA installation, you can skip the waiting time and manually install the 4.2 Jelly Bean on your ‘yakju’ Galaxy Nexus. If you run a custom ROM, you just flash the file below. If not, though, we recommend you skip over to the source link where there are more detailed instructions.

Yo PA, when ur reviewing the Nexus 10, would you pls. throw in some benchmark tests for alternative browsers, say Boat or Dolphin? Making the stuttery Chrome stock was a major misstep by Google, but look at performance and benches such as SunSpider on the alternatives, it flies.

Yeah...........that glitchy update is coming your way, look out. My advise don't download if getting OTA. It started to kill my battery life, performance, and boy, lagging like crazy. Don't walk away from this update, run.

Mine is OK, but Nexus devices being the beta testers few bugs are to be expected. 4.2.1 should fix those.

If you have stock yakju, and not yakjuux or yakjuxw, then you will. Please check your version by:
Open Maps>Settings>About>Device.

Try if this works for you:
Settings>Apps>All>Google Services Framework, clear and force stop then manually check for updates.
Worked for me the last two times.

Not sure what's the problem, what about the 4.1.2 update? Did you get it?

You can always unlock the bootloader(if it's locked) and flash yakju 4.2. Of course you'll lose everything not synced with online services and all files not transfered beforehand.
