Wasn’t working for me, but I found someone on another site suggesting this and it works for me! In MN and hadn’t seen a thing yet, btw. What worked for me was disabling GFS and then re-enabling it. I did it over wi-fi, btw. Details:
DISABLE google framework services and back out. Go back in (GFS will be at the bottom of the list since it’s disabled, right next to my VZW backup asisstant that is also disabled..) and renable it. Then
clear data. And go to system update. Bam.

I flashed the file through rom manager that was from Google’s Server. I’m glad you unrooted and did the OTA, that now shows that its the update and not one method of updating over another.

You guys rock. Have been waiting ( impatiently) on VZW for the update. Your suggestions worked perfectly. Thanks you Droid Matters.

I unrooted, applied the OTA, and re-rooted. I figured that OTA may be a safer way to go since I don’t have enough experience flashing the file on my own to ensure that it was done right. This shouldn’t have any bearing on why the battery drain is so significant…did you flash or OTA? (Even though supposedly the files are the same)

Did you apply the OTA or the downloaded file flashed through rom manager?

OK so I did the update and now I cant sync my google contacts, cant receive any texts and I keep loosing 4G signal. I have a completely STOCK Gnex. Anyone else having these issues and if so how can we fix them?

Worked! Verizon was taking their sweet time with this. Don’t know about doing another Nexus through them after this although i love the phone itself.

Can anyone get Facebook to sync after this update? Not like it could sync with facebook before but thought it was supposed to be able to now

I was just going to post something like this. 4.0.4 is very bad on battery life. WTH? I have extended battery and I think the life is half with the same amount of usage. I don’t know what the heck is going on. We can’t be the only people seeing this atrocious battery drain…
