Galaxy Nexus
The T-Mobile version of the Google Nexus 4 is getting a mysterious security update over the air (OTA), starting Tuesday. According to PhoneArena, the T-Mobile handset will be getting notifications to download a less than 2MB software package, which is listed under the version number JWR66Y. If you have rooted your Google Nexus 4, you won't be getting the update.
Here's some tantalizing news for owners of the older Google-endorsed handset, the Galaxy Nexus: Android 4.3 might be on the way.
Samsung's Galaxy Nexus smartphone on Verizon's network is next to receive an Android Jelly Bean update.
Verizon Galaxy Nexus owners stuck on Android 4.1.1 can now upgrade to the latest 4.2 before an official release.
On the Verizon Support Twitter account, the company has said an upgrade to the phone will be coming, but with no exact release date announced.
Google Nexus device owners can count themselves as part of the lucky few in the world that receive the latest version Android first. Most of them are running Android 4.2 already, while most other devices are still playing catch up to Android 4.1, and it looks like Google is now rolling out Android 4.2.2 for the GSM versions of the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7, and Nexus 10.
Expect to see an updated version of Android Jelly Bean, Android 4.2.2, on phones pretty soon. Today photos of the enhanced Google operating system running on a Nexus leaked to the web.
While the Galaxy Nexus has been largely been replaced by the Nexus 4 as the smartphone of choice for Android purists, that doesn't mean it's been forgotten. There are still many Galaxy Nexus owners out there, and here's some good news for (some of) them: Android 4.2.1 is now hitting the Sprint Galaxy Nexus here in the United States.
Sprint Galaxy Nexus owners can download Android 4.2 Jelly Bean straight from Google.

Google has released a minor update that adds December back in Android 4.2's People app for both the LG Nexus 4 and Samsung Nexus 10.
Those with the GSM unlocked Samsung Galaxy Nexus have access to both official and custom Android 4.2 updates.
Google's latest collaboration with LG is superior to the Galaxy Nexus in almost every way.
