It was a fairly simple process which I had used before to get the 4.0.4 update as well. The steps are as following<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to Settings -> Apps -> All<\/li>\n<li>Click on Google Services Framework<\/li>\n<li>Click on Clear Data<\/li>\n<li>Click on &#8216;Force Stop<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you do this you need to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Goto Settings -> About Phone<\/li>\n<li>Click on &#8216;Check for updates&#8217;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You might have to do this a couple of times (I had to do it 3 times) before the update shows up and downloads. The overall process took about 1\/2 hour including the time required for the update to download. <\/p>\n<p>Have been using it for about 2+ days so far and wanted to document my reactions\/findings:<\/p>\n<p>* System is now extremely fast, the screen switching is about 3-4 times faster and smoother.<br \/>\n* The Google bar on the top is a bit distracting. It had a black background previously, now its grey so is noticeable.<br \/>\n* Love the voice recognition. The system can do voice recognition without being connected to the web (tested in Airplane mode) and is about 90% accurate. Seems like its a bit more accurate when connected to the web, but don&#8217;t have any hard data for that.<br \/>\n* Battery life is a lot improved, my phone went about 2 days with regular usage. (I was getting about 1 day+ earlier)<br \/>\n* Camera gives a visual feedback when a photo is taken so people don&#8217;t take a million photos thinking it wasn&#8217;t taking photos. <\/p>\n<p>Some downsides\/issues etc:<\/p>\n<p>* I think my Wireless connects gets disabled a min or so after the screen switches off. Haven&#8217;t verified it yet but if that is the case then it will be a major issue.<br \/>\n* The soft buttons feel a bit less reactive on some screens, but again its a bit subjective and haven&#8217;t verified it.<\/p>\n<p>Overall I like the new update. I think Google did a good job with this update.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Suramya<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After waiting for a day for the update to show up on my Nexus, I forced the update to download on my Nexus.
