How To Flash Official Android 4 1 2 To Galaxy Nexus

Android 4.1.2 aka Jelly Bean is a series of OS Android that the most recently released by Google. Today i will share tutorial Flash Official Android 4.1.2 rom to Galaxy Nexus. This Android OS series has a number of features that are very interesting, especially on performance user experience is more smooth and efficient battery. In my previous article about the how to update Nexus S Jelly Bean via OTA already described how to update to Jelly Bean that can be applied also on Galaxy Nexus smartphone.

However, after some time playing around with the Galaxy Nexus, I learned that not all can get the Galaxy Nexus OTA update to Jelly Bean. Galaxy Nexus in circulation there are actually several kinds of series, there is a pure Google distributed directly by Google via the Play Store (version GSM / HSPA +) with product code yakju and takju, there are also distributed by Samsung itself with code yakju ** (** two additional letters behind yakju).

Well coming into united states is the Galaxy Nexus with a product code yakjuxw distributed by Samsung and android update the is handled by Samsung. OTA updates are currently available update released by Google for galaxy nexus series with yakju and takju code, so for the phone with the code yakjuxw must wait the update from Samsung itself which is usually long and made ​​us have to wait.

To know the Galaxy Nexus product code we use, we can use applications Andorid System Info that can be downloaded from the Play Store. If you have installed, the product code information can be found on the System tab in the sub menu Build info, product code can be found on the Product item.

Before going any further into how to manually update Jelly Bean, first check the product code of the Galaxy Nexus. If the code has already ICS 4.0.4 yakju and could just wait for the OTA update instead of manual updates. Or if OTA updates do not appear, can be fished using a special trick to force the OTA update appeared. the tips found on the first paragraph above.

For devie with the code yakju **, especially for the series Galaxy Nexus yakjuxw on united states, an update to the Jelly Bean factory can be done by flashing official rom yakju Jelly Bean or takju device. Both yakju and takju is the same, there is an additional difference in takju, because its featured with Google Wallet app.

But that should be a concern, Jelly Bean yakju ROM and takju may not compatible with the Galaxy Nexus yakjuxw, usually have a compatibility issues on the radio. But from my experience flashing yakju use the Vodacom network no problem, network smoothly both data and voice.

Okay, if you are sure to manually flashing official Jelly Bean, the following are the steps, I make as easy as possible so that it can be applied easily by newbie though. To be able to flash the ROM Jelly Bean, do not necessarily have to be in the root first, but what is absolutely essential needed is it must be in the unlock bootloader.

Top 5 Largest Smartphone Vendor In 3rd Quarter 2012

Based on the data and the latest statistics released by IDC (International Data Corporation) , the world mobile phone market grew by 2.4% for the third quarter of 2012 (Q312). A total of 444.5 million units of mobile phone marketed by manufacturers - world phone manufacturers in Q312 compared to 434.1 million units of the same period in 2011. This development is driven by the dominance of Samsung and Apple. Here are the Top 5 Worlds Largest Smartphone Manufacturer in 2012.

Top 5 Largest Smartphone Manufacturer 2012

Based on the data above, the Nokia no longer listed in the Top 5 and an opportunity for vendors such as RIM (Research In Motion), ZTE and HTC to dominate the market. However, Nokia is still felt in second place behind Samsung as the largest producer for the year 2012 (until the third quarter - see data below). As a result of this report concluded that consumers no longer choose the Symbian platform, and they (Nokia) are now in the process of transition from Symbian to Windows Phone platform and to some extent contributed to this situation.

For Samsung, their desire to emerge as the worlds largest smartphone manufacturer in 2012 almost a reality after being in second place for the year 2011. For the record, share 31.3% by Samsung for the third quarter of 2012 was the first time that happened since Q409. Improvement in market largely driven by high-end models of their products like the Galaxy SIII .

For Apple, despite the iPhone 5 has been released, their dominance will show significant improvement in the fourth quarter of 2012 as the product has yet to enter most markets in the world.

Conclusion

There is nothing - what I expect other than wait and see if Nokia and RIM (Research In Motion) is able to compete and survive the pressure from competitors - competitors are more aggressive in their efforts to dominate the smartphone world. As a consumer, the existence of the various options is a pleasure and advantage that can not be described with words - words.

Nexus 4 New Feature With Android 4 2 2 Jelly Bean

Android 4.2.2 was released a few days ago on the devices of the Nexus Series, such as Nexus 4, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10. In this article, i want to share with you what were the changes that google make and want to introduce in latest version of the android operating system. if you have nexus 4 and want to update to this version read my post about : how to manually update nexus 4 to android 4.2.2

In this post you can see a video that shows what is the new feature on nexxus 4 with android 4.2.2. Before you see the video, Below we have made some list some aspects that Google is going to change in the operating system:

• Scroll Effect in the Gallery, introduced in place of the neon-Blue/Blue at the end of the scroll of the elements;
• Different vibration when receiving emails from Gmail and receiving SMS: in the first case we still have dual shock function close but the individual vibrations have a much lower duration; in the second case we still have dual shock function closely, but the individual vibrations are higher than what you had in previous versions of Android.
• Improved Fluency but not in the app drawer section regarding widgets, still suffering from loss of fluency;
• Quick Setting of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth now allow you to activate its capabilities by conducting a prolonged pressure on them, almost as if they were of the toggle.
• Not resolved the Bluetooth bug: still there are reports from users who are unable to connect your bluetooth headset with Nexus 4 Galaxy and Nexus. You will need an additional update to fix this bug.
• The camera rotation: when you use the camera and rotate your smartphone, turn not only commands but is the entire interface. This is not a bug but a choice by Google. Maybe something will change in the future in this regard.
• Debug USB now allows you to set a default device to which enable this functionality. Its a trick, for safety as the device will not allow the Debug USB boot when connected to a PC other than the one pre-set by the user.
• Fixed the bug of the widgets in the app drawer: in the previous version of Android, when you downloaded and installed any widget, was not shown immediately in the app drawer but it was necessary to terminate the application of the Home and then restart to see and position.4.2.2 This Android bug has been completely resolved and any widget is immediately visible within the app drawer
• Reduced responsiveness: we noticed that on  Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus responsiveness is slightly lowered. This is not a serious matter but it seems that the Smartphones have a touch response time slightly higher than Android 4.2.1. Even in this case, we are looking forward to updates.

Now below you can see the video summary of Android 4.2.2 on Nexus 4 that created by tuttoandroid, best regards for tuttoandroid
