14 DAY TRIAL // Rumors on a maintenance update for Verizon’s Galaxy Nexus have come and gone, but the carrier has yet to confirm it.
A certain Android 4.0.4 update that was supposed to fix lots of the phone’s problems was reportedly in the works back in January, but nothing has been heard since then.
Today, new details surface on an unannounced Android 4.0.5 update for Verizon Galaxy Nexus, which is expected to go live within the next few weeks.
Although this isn’t the first time we heard about an Android 4.0.5 update, it was only leaked for the Nexus S last month. The update was said to be under development with rumors pointing to a possible April release.
However, the folks at AndroidCommunity have just learned from Black_man_X, the source of most info leaked about Android platform, that an Android 4.0.5 update for Samsung Galaxy Nexus is now in beta testing at Verizon Wireless.
Rumor has it that this update won’t include new features, instead it will fix lots of more or less critical issues of the smartphone.
Black_man_X claims that the update is running without any problems on the Galaxy Nexus, which means Verizon will start deploying it sooner than expected.
Android 4.0.5 update is said to address several internal bugs and reboot issues, such as audio reboot issue. In addition, a certain “data falling asleep” bug will be corrected as well, along with battery life problems.
Aside from the fact that it does not come with any new features, the source of the information also confirmed that no changes had been done to the user interface and launcher.
It’s likely that the upcoming update will feature new radios, but there’s no word on any improvements of the 4G LTE reception for the moment. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
