Samsung confirms Galaxy Nexus volume fix but freezes shipments

Samsung UK has joined Google in promising a software fix for the volume bug in the Galaxy Nexus, suggesting that the company "will update devices as soon as possible" however, more retailers have apparently reacted to the issue by freezing shipments of the ICS smartphone. Samsung took to Twitter to confirm its awareness of the volume issue, indicating that software tweaks would address the randomly fluctuating in-call audio experienced by some Galaxy Nexus Owners.

However, developer Steve Troughton-Smith tells us that the retailer he ordered a Galaxy Nexus from warned him today that Samsung had stopped shipments, with deliveries only expected to resume when the volume bug was addressed. New stock has apparently been put on ice as Samsung investigate whether hardware or software is at fault, the retailer suggested, with even a possible recall mentioned.
