[Life Canada] New post in Android videos : Jelly Bean update starting to roll for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus

 Jelly Bean update starting to roll for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus

It looks like the Verizon Galaxy Nexus is finally getting some Jelly Bean love. Not only has Verizon posted the changelog on their site, but we received a few emails from readers saying they already got the update. The build is JR003O and has a file size of 146.6MB. We actually saw this build last month, but we weren’t sure if it was going to be the final build at that time.

Once the update takes place, you will be able to enjoy Google Now, Google’s new enhanced Voice Search, new Notification panel actions, and a smarter keyboard.

So far it’s not available to me, but I need to check again when I get back to a WiFi connection. To manually check to see if it’s available to you, just go to Settings/About Phone/System Updates. Please let us know if you were able to grab the update in the comments below.

Hit the break for additional changelog information

Additional Jelly Bean Enhancements

  • Move between home screens with more intuitive graphics and silky-smooth transitions.
  • More reactive and uniform touch responses.
  • Personalize your home screen easily by placing widgets directly on the screen.
  • Widgets now resize automatically when they are too big.
  • Swipe over from camera to filmstrip view photos you just took, and quickly swipe away
