When I go to that page via settings and I press system updrates it responds with last checked and the time. What do I press to force the update? Remember I am in the NY area.

There should be a button called "Check Now" to force it to check for an update.

I have decided to wait and see if it comes to my Nexus on its own.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

Ok caninelover.you go to settings then go to apps then scroll to the right twice to all. Then scroll down to Google services framework click on that then clear data and force stop. Then back out and go to about system update and check now. You might have to repeat this multiple times. I had to do it over five times.

I live on LI also. Itried the force approach with no luck. Whatever you do don't call Verizon for help. They know nothing about the update and will have you troubleshooting your phone until you lose your patience. They tried to blame Samsung for the funny things happening to my phone. Please post when you receive the update. I will do the same.

I'm in NYC and have not received the update either.  Have not tried the force approach and don't plan on trying it.

Ah joys of Verizon.

So I finally just got the OTA update notification but after reading some of the horror stories on this forum about battery and heat issues, I'm holding off on installing this "upgrade". 

Pretty poor that we finally get an update, 4 versions late, and when we do it cuts the battery life by ~75%.  Appears Vzw is distributing new handsets en masse to those complaining of these issues if they're unable to resolve through the Exchange fix.  Par for the course I suppose.

Wise choice to hold off!  I am experiencing the same issue regarding the battery getting hot and drains within an hour or so.  Exchange services appears to be consuming 68% to 75% of the battery.  Tried just about everything I can think of including deleting the email accounts and removing the battery etc.

I had no problems with my GNex until I installed the OTA JB 4.2.2 update this past Friday. I searched this forum and other Android forums and tried numerous suggestions and nothing seems to work. I did not have any issues when Verizon initially pushed out JB. However, I will no longer apply any updates for at least a month if not more so I don't go through this headache again. I have two batteries and I think my extended battery is toast now. Maybe the constant drain and recharging the past fews days finally taken it's toll.  Verizon owes me an extended battery and maybe a new phone.

Everything that this guy posted = 100% correct. 

I had no problems whatsoever with my GNex until this morning when I accepted the 4.2.2 OTA update.

Now my phone feels like a <Deleted> hot water bottle and the battery life is non-existent.  

Can I boot back into Last Known Good Configuration to undo my mistake of accepting this TERRIBLE update? 

Ive gone this long as an avid android fan - through multiple android phones - <Deleted> and keep it from lighting my pants pocket into flames -- <Deleted> THIS THING IS HOT - IT FEELS LIKE A PROC WITHOUT A HEAT SYNC ON IT.

I had a few minor hiccups. Phone rebooted ea time I made a call. Some bluetooth issues. However I resolved all of them by turning off the phone removing battery for 10 seconds and restarting. Phone seems much faster and camera is really worth it.

I don't like it.  1. The Lock Screen looks amateurish.  They bolded half the time but not the other.  It looks like my 10yo designed it.  2. Battery life seems hosed.  The phone has been warm all day.  Never had that trouble before.  Fully charged battery lasted 5 hours. 

But if I can go a couple days without the random reboot - I'll be happy.
