Verizon_Tweet_Galaxy_Nexus_Update_01

Owners of the Verizon Galaxy Nexus got excited when a Tweet from a Verizon Support rep (LH) sent yesterday stated that Samsung was going to push an update out, but didn't have any other information. Speculation is that it will be Android 4.2.2 or at least 4.2.1. Tweets from Verizon support should always be taken with skepticism as there are countless examples of mistakes and miss information.

Let's take a look at this tweet. They said that Samsung is going to push it. If an update does occur, we already know it will be Google, but that could be an honest mistake, so I will give him or her the benefit of the doubt. A little later another rep (EO) tweeted..

A glaring problem with this one is the link goes to the original Jelly Bean update that took place several months ago. I'm not here to say that the Galaxy Nexus will or won't get another update, but I am going to tell you not to expect an update based on these tweets. Personally, I will be surprised if the Verizon GNex gets another update, but hopefully I'm wrong.

From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus.
