So all of us with Verizon that are hoping for an update to use our phones the way they were meant to be, this official post from Sony makes me think we will never see them:
"Sony confirmed that the update will take place via PC Companion/SEUS and Bridge for Mac only. There will be no OTA updates and no notifications either. The reason behind this is that they want users to make a conscious decision when upgrading to ICS given that it is a significant revamp and that it “may impact performance in some user scenarios” given that it requires more resources."

Well, Verizon R800x's do not work with the PC Companion as we can't switch to to MTP mode with our stock phones. So am I misreading this article or are we really stuck with basic "buy from a store like Meijers or Wal-Mart" phone?
It does
From about October/Novmber-ish, SEUS works with the R800X.

Every time I connect it tells me to switch to MTP via USB Connection Settings, which R800x doesn't have? I must be a complete noob at cell phones. Ha.

First off uninstall PC Companion, it is trash for the R800x.
Then download & install this: http://sony-ericsson-update-service.en.uptodown.com/
(Sony Ericsson Update Service, a.k.a. SEUS)
I've used it (well, not that link, but the same program) a couple of times to reinstall .88 after testing a few things.

(Also www.wotanserver.com will probably also have the update within a month of it coming out...)
Since it's not OTA does this mean I can update without having to relock my bootloader? I know that OTA updates on an unlocked loader brick the device.

i received it. but when it restarted to install i got status 7 error!.
i use JB stock. CWM and rooted.
i tried to flash it with cwm but no different.
you can't use CWM...you have to use stock recovery and stock rom. root doesn't matter.

Well, how can I run "adb logcat"? sorry MONSTER NOOB
Is the performance any better?
Ditto to the above. I'm currently updating, just excited to see if there have been lag/battery enhancements.
Got it about 4 hours back.. it was a pleasant surprise.
Feels much smoother.
Also I don't lose all my widgets after a restart. Yay.
Is it just me? Apps on SD seem to have disappeared from the drawer...
I had to 'crash' the drawer and then let it reload... weird
davyu: They were missing for me too at first but after few minutes they reappeared. Most likely because update clears some cache and Nexus has to reload it again.
Google now runs SMOOTHLY now, OMG
Problem
Just received the OTA 4.1.2 in FRance, but after install my pnexus dones'nt want to boot and stay blocked on the blinking logo
4.1.2 OTA Received on Nexus S i9023 from Brazil!!!
All,
The Nexus 4 does not have Google ears installed however in /system/app, googleears.apk is shown, but will not install.
Is there a solution to installing this app? I've pulled it and tried to install via adb but it fails..

Its a widget.

Yes i'm aware of that.. I'm saying that it isn't installed, and will not install... I'm asking why.
it is installed.. it's a widget. attempting to install a system app from a file explorer in your system folder will fail as it is already installed.

It is not installed.. If it was, then installing via adb would tell me it's installed.

Perhaps it's frozen and not available in your location. If you're rooted you can unfreeze it using Package Enabler in play store

It would be this.
It's frozen for UK phones. Unfreeze with Titanium Backup then feel free to add the widget
Strange that they don't enable this widget now that Google Music is available in the UK. I don't fancy wiping my phone just to root so I can unfreeze this. For now I'm using the free Sony TrackID app which has always worked well on previous phones.
Don't have my n4 yet but is it avail in the UK. I know I could get it to work but it was not stock on the gnex gsm.
Looks like I took too long writing my comment its already been answered lol
Just the same as the gnex then oh well unfreeze it.

I too am in the same position as OP. It's in /system/app but doesn't come up as a widget option and isn't considered installed according to android.
What's weird is that it worked on my Galaxy Nexus months ago without any modifications.
Code:
su
pm enable com.google.android.ears
It's good to use 'til next reboot.

Hi!
i have a problem. i cant defrost google ears on my nexus 4 with titanium backup pro. google ears is crossed out!? its not possible to push the frost/defrost/uninstall button. Phone is rooted. i live in austria and bought the n4 in germany (maybe its important)
i made 2 screenshots.
Thanks for help!
Use the command I posted early from a terminal instead.
It's weird, I am in Australia, I have a Nexus 7 and Nexus 4 and I don't have the widget on either. I got the Nexus 7 on second shipment from JB HiFi and than I suggested it to a friend, who got it 3 months after, from Officeworks and he has the app
PS he doesn't even know what rooting is.

Tried putting this in an init.d script but it was still frozen. Must be a race condition, i.e. init.d script running before some other process freezes it
I've found a work around.
After doing the enable command, you will be able to update Ears from the Play Store and then it will persist.
You won't be able to search for it, so use this link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.ears

I know it's already rolling out in the UK. I check every day and haven't found out anything. They usually don't announce it either, so my guess is before the end of 2012.

I agree 100%, very sad.
Here is the quote from Samsung Stuff authorized to answer questions online:
"There is no official firmware for any tablets. If you are using Kies and are not prompted to install any updates, there are none currently available for your device. A newer firmware may be installed on newer tablets at the factory, but we can only recommend you use Kies to obtain updates."
hey, Kies just offered me 4.1.1 on both our GT-P5113's! rockin and rollin.
it seems to have wiped the cf-root I had just done to 4.0.4
dont' care, too much new jellybean goodness to wanna mess with the magic just yet. :silly:
p.s. US model, regsistered here in California, using USB to connect to Kies on my PC.

Alrighty then, how does one use this Kies thing?? Does it mean I need to boot into windows? ugh if it does...
Also is there supposed to be something on the tablet already for kies? Or just the pc...
I guess I will try to boot windows in a little bit.
Can anyone confirm successful update through kies with a rooted device (p5113) and cwm recovery?
Can you also post a screenshot of device info, firmware/kernel etc?
Thanks

I had /just/ installed cf-root on my 4.0.4 when I discovered this, I haven't messed with cwm recovery so I'm not sure what that is, if it came in with the cf-root stuff, then I guess so. (kind of new to rooting)
here's the screenshot...
arrrgh, as a noob, I can't post pictures or links?!? k, take out all the spaces.

to the other question, Samsung Kies (pronounced kees) is windows based, and requires USB connection to do firmware updating, over wifi it won't even try. past that, I know nothing. I fired up Kies on my win8 desktop, plugged in the USB cable, it connected, and announced there was an update, do I want it. it downloads and installs the update automatically when you say 'yes'.
I've updated two P5113's now, mine (was root kitted but isn't at moment) and my wife's (not root kitted), both went smoothly.
(CWM) ClockworkMod recovery, it or twrp recovery is a custom recovery which is required to flash zip files ie ROMs, kernels and mods. I didn't do the cf root method, I installed cwm in Odin and then flashed a zip to get root access. I am familiar with kies, my question though, is it OK to run this update without the stock recovery etc?
Thanks

Yes, it is. P5113 Jelly Bean update on Kies (U.S.)
Argh.... now to keep working on getting windows to boot so I can try kies... silly vista and having to run the startup repair in order to boot.. so sad either sit through hours of updates that take over the computer to all ends including rebooting many times, or sit through now 2 hours and counting of trying to run over and over again the repair boot CD testing if it worked or not and if not running it again. One time it took me 7 times running the CD in order to boot into windows....
Wish there was more support for other operating systems to include linux....
Alrighty then... finally got into windows and downloaded and installed kies but now in rebooting before trying to update as thing's were not working after the install of kies so rebooting.. but guess what.. typical windows garbage now having to run the boot fix yet again... might be able to get the update done by the end of the week at this windows rate...
Finally on jelly bean... only took 3 hours give or take 15 minutes.. main problem was and will always be windows...
now to connect to see if kies recognizes it now

can't say I *EVER* ran Vista, but winXP, win7, win8 have never given me any such problems on dozens and dozens of systems.
the reason noone supports Linux is that Linux is not an operating system, its a collection of parts, no two systems are quite the same. resolving binary library version dependencies is a mess, unless everything is source code and gets custom compiled by the end user, and even then there are endless possible problems... oh wait, you have the wrong version Qt, and python 2.5 but we need 2.3 and .... arrrrrrgh. is the desktop gnome 2 or gnome 3 or kde X.Y or TWM or ..... ARRRRRRGH. Are the startup scripts debian or redhat or gentoo or .... <headbutt on desk>
personally, I wish that FreeBSD was more popular. far less insanity there.
anyways, off topic rant.

EDIT. I downloaded the 1.1MB update, nothing new was changed. However something very weird happened to my Z2 after this update.
I powered off the phone to recharge to full after the update installed. I powered it on after immediately unplugging after it said 100%, and lines appeared on the screen at first boot. I did not see the Xperia logo, the Powered by Android, and the boot animation. I did get to the lockscreen, homescreen, and apps fine. NO LINES APPEARED THROUGHOUT THE INTERFACE, ONLY ON THE BOOTUP SEQUENCE. I was able to play games fine, but the screen is now in an alarmingly yellow tint. This only happens when the digitiser does whack.
I restarted the phone again, and the Xperia, Powered by Android, and Boot animations appeared normal, and the Yellowish tint has disappeared throughout.
Now I'm worried if the digitiser is whack or this is just a one time thing. I need to reiterate, this has absolutely NOT HAPPENED BEFORE THE MAINTENANCE UPDATE WAS INSTALLED. Make of that what you will I guess.
I m just feeling I have more free RAM now as compared to before.

I have the same notification, both actually: the first one 23.5.A.1.291 and the second one 1.1.A.0.1 with my Xperia Z2
I updated it with the 1.1.A.0.1, it's OK, the phone don't reboot and I don't loose root and xposed modules.
But I don't want to update with the 23.5.A.1.291. I don't want to lose root, xposed, and root apps (it was hard for me to have them on my phone (and I don't know why I can't access anymore to recovery, with locked bootloader)).
Strange thing: Build number is already on 23.5.A.1.291, it ask me to update to the same version
Yep, it just installs a new storage app. Not sure what it does. Might have something to do with SDCard or OTG compatibility.
Check the Android security patch level in Settings -> About. I believe the .291 build only includes 1 May 2016
