If at first you don't succeed: Android 4.0.2 rolls out again for GSM Samsung GALAXY Nexus

I think it's odd too. I have a ROM with 4.0.3 on it so it is somewhat available.

I will say though, my girlfriend is still on 4.0.2 because she doesn't want me to root her phone yet and I don't notice a huge difference. We both get very similar battery life (usually about 12-13 hours and we are both in LTE areas) and our signal strength is almost identical in most places.

I have been running 4.0.3 on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus since 12/22/11. It's my one month anniversary today. lol

remixfa I still haven't used Google Wallet. I really want to though. It's like a prepaid card, you just load the money in it & once it's gone then you reload. I am tempted of stashing $20.00 on my Google Wallet.

What do you think? lol

go for it and tell me how it goes. I am way to paranoid to use that crap. I put too much sensitive info on my phone as it is.. lol :)

Yeah I know what you mean. Google already has my card because I buy apps from the Android Market. Maybe I will buy a gift card put money in it then use that card to load my Google Wallet.

Yeah I am paranoid too. lol

I have 4.0.3 on the ROM i'm using and have never had any problems with notification sound (whether on 4.0.2 or 4.0.3) but I will say the speaker volume for something like youtube is subpar even with 4.0.3.

It depends what ROM you use. Most ROMs will use the auto restore feature through the market and the apps will download for you.

You do have to wipe everything which includes your "SD card" (internal photo storage etc) when you unlock. Your apps will restore in most cases but you will lose all your pictures/texts etc unless you back them up somehow.

thats easy
GOOGLE +

If you use it for no other reason, you can set it to where it auto syncs all of your pictures to your online G+/Picasa account. Best thing ever. You take a pic and 30 seconds later its backed up.

Some phones require a wipe to root, others do not.

If you do root it, and it wipes your phone; install titanium backup so you don't have to re-install your apps every time you flash a rom.

It's not rooting that causes the wipe it's unlocking the bootloader and on the Nexus it wipes everything.
