Google has updated Galaxy Nexus owners on its plans to fix that odd 900MHz volume glitch, claiming that an over-the-air update will arrive within the next week or so. According to The Verge, this is Google’s latest official pronunciation on the issue:
“We’re currently rolling out a fix for the volume issue which will reach everyone in the coming week.”
Plenty can be read into those few words. Given that it will “reach everyone” it has to be an imminent OTA update, right?
Of course, we already know the software update for the Galaxy Nexus is being tested, with the unofficial official release already available for brave users who don’t mind a bit of manual OS updating.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ November 30, 2011have to say.. i use a 900mhz network and apart from putting a 2g phone 2mm from my phone the problem doesnt happen in “real life”
MarkG
/ November 30, 2011sssshhh, lots of people have been getting very rich reporting the scale of the story… sensationalist advertising is BIG business… Who cares what reality is…
Dave Chambers
/ December 1, 2011Great – but it happens for me when the phone switches from 3G tp 2G or a call or data is initiated in 2G
mark
/ December 1, 2011just got my phone delivered this morning
dont think i’ll be experiencing the problem, as its on tmobile, but i will give it a test :-p
Dave Chambers
/ December 2, 2011Got my update this morning (O2 issued phone) So far – so good.
mark
/ December 2, 2011got my phone, and as soon as the sim was in, the update downloaded installed after a restart. tmobile network.
tried to emulate the problem by turnign off 3g on my iphone 3g and moving it close to the nexus, but it was fine
Stephen
/ December 5, 2011Got mine on the 3rd. No problems, but then i didn’t have any anyway (bought online from o2uk)
Vince
/ December 5, 2011no updates for a week ? Is Eurodroid dead?
mark
/ December 5, 2011seems eurodroid is dead :(…and i just started here as well!!!
well, i’ve had one weird experience so far. as i was listening to a song, my nexus just decided to die on me, after going through some screeching noise and the screen going all crazy/static!!!
taking out the batter and rebooting seemed to fix the problem, and i’ve had no issues since.
it think this may be the “force GPU” error that i’ve seen mentioned in some site
Stephen
/ December 5, 2011Yeha force GPU does def stuff some stuff up.
I’m sure GaryC is just a bit busy and will be back in Android action asap.

/ December 5, 2011From the Eurodroid Twitter: “My “Working from Home” dream is being a bit ruined by a 0.1Mb connection. Can you push some buttons for me?”
Stephen
/ December 5, 2011Ouch!
Gary_C
/ December 5, 2011Not dead. A tree snapped my phone line so I’ve just had FIVE WHOLE DAYS without the internet.
There’s quite a bit to catch up on, it seems!
Peter Sinnott
/ December 5, 2011Sounds like death to me
Gary_C
/ December 5, 2011Got a bit of gardening done. Chopped some wood. Learned how to make shortcrust pastry. Every outage is an opportunity!
Vince
/ December 6, 2011haha. Good to have you back!
Bry
/ December 6, 2011Gary – any chance of a Nexus review?
Gary_C
/ December 6, 2011Perhaps. I’m slowly lumbering through a Sensation XL at the moment. I’ll try for a Nexus next.
mark
/ December 6, 2011while gary gets back up to speed (a bit of pun there :-p), here’s my review of the nexus:
hardware: good, but not as good as the s2
ICS : fast, smooth, visually crisp and clear and with lot of things to play around with (literally!! the “silly faces” option my neice and nephew have been playing on it since they got their hands on it, as well as showing off the “face unlock” to their friends lol)
