[Nexus 7 General] hack.causality:
I have to thank google for 4.2, for finally forcing me to get off my butt and install a custom rom. Between the broken nvidia prism implementation giving me flashbacks to the era of DSTN displays and the fifty times a day I reach up to pull down the notification pane, pull down the worthless settings menu, curse, then reach across the device and pull down what I actually wanted, putting an end to the barrage of stupidity is well worth having to reinstall a few programs.
[Nexus 7 General] uansari1:
I actually updated by doing a clean flash of the Google factory image via fastboot. Not a single issue.. Try that and I suspect you'll be more than happy.
[Nexus 7 General] tazm0n:
I got my 32gb N7 about 2 weeks ago with 4.1.2 and flashed it stock to the OTA 4.2 just like you and.... Yes 4.2 SUCKS....

Systems starts to lag after a few hours of use (accumulated time, not using it for hours at a time) and a restart only shows how buggy the lock screen is- widgets load very slowly if at all (I've had to restart after a restart at least 50-60% of the time)

My N7 is totally stock, with mainly AAA paid apps (I.e no questionable apps or apps that claim to change the system). I learned a $250 lesson with my last one. It completely bricked after trying remove the tablet mode screen DPI in orde to get the 4.2 update... So pissed now to see how not worth it it was, lol! I'm sure I'll end up rooting this one, but not til things get more stable.

Oh we'll, I'm sure google is working on a fix and the silver lining is that with our Nexus's (Nexii?) we'll get the update as soon as its available.

Good luck all!
[Nexus 7 General] JesseMT4G:
Good thing I read this 1st before upgrading. Would really hate to lose my USB option. I use digital media player and works great without root. Don't care if it writes, just need it to play.

Everything works great on 4.1.2

[Nexus 7 General] Hextall:
Another data point, I also ran the forever gone app and the lag I was experiencing after the ota to 4.2 is gone. I am on stock, unrooted.
[Nexus 7 General] tcat007:
Just ran Forever Gone. How long does it take to "Release the filled space"? Clicked the button and hasn't started moving (5 minutes).

edit: Nevermind, was expecting it to "count down" freed space instantly, I was looking at the wrong "0". Does seem a little snappier (not much), mine was never "laggy".
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
Check the stickmount thread. A working 4.2 version has been released.
[Nexus 7 General] ezas:
Thank you. This is how it is supposed to work. You don't jump on every new thing unless you really like that kind of thing, finding bugs, giving feedback to devs. Etc

You read up on it and decided to wait for some ROMs or other solution for a feature you need.

Everything I would want say has been said except for this.

People act like there will never be a 4.2.1 from Google.

[Nexus 7 General] negrobembon:
Auto-brightness has been there long before 4.2
[Nexus 7 General] liam64_-:
The only thing I like about 4.2 is the swipe to type thing, that's it. I factory restored before updating to 4.2 and when I "updated" I instantly regretted it! Many many apps are broken, tablet ui can't be achieved with a simple DPI change anymore, the lock screen widgets are stupid and slow, I dont understand them as I dont spend my time on the lock screen, the lag sometimes hits when opening the multitasking tray due to that pointless animation, developer options hidden for no reason, I'm not sure why seperate users would come into using a tablet especially one of either 8gb or 16gb capacity, and finally I hate the stupid additional pull down menu for settings, they're just shortcuts that can be achieved with a home screen widget.
[Nexus 7 General] simms22:
nothing but good things to say about 4.2(aosp) over here. seems like everything got a boost in speed too.
[Nexus 7 General] ezas:
I want to point out that apps that can't find or save their own files have not been written using the Google APIs and/or getting the path via a system variable. Also if a program won't let you set a new path, well I don't know what to tell you about that.

I had to set a new path in my backup program but once I set it to /storage/emulated/0 the program found its previous backup sets due to how the new file system works.

[Nexus 7 General] sRDennyCrane:
Yes, you should TOTALLY get the iPad Mini. Some people really can't handle the emotional duress of updates and need the reassurance of Apple's "walled garden". Sure, you pay twice as much, have a low resolution screen, are forced into iTunes, can't run a 3rd party keyboard, can't sideload apps, can't run 3rd party browsers at full-speed, can't watch any 16:9 content without losing half the screen to black bars, but... BUT!!!!

...you won't have to put up with that terrible, terrible 4.2 Android update!

[Nexus 7 General] kwabby:
I feel your pain if you are having problems with your device, I have nexus 4 & 7, with zero problem, I am enjoying my nexus so much I have decided not to root them.

Then again I may be the only one. Good luck!

PS: I just installed adblock plus free from playstore to keep away ads, life is good!
[Nexus 7 General] Pandemonium2k4:
4.2 is a downgrade, utter garbage!
[Nexus 7 General] hugoread:
Normally you would expect the plural to be Nexuses, but there is certainly no apostrophe! An apostrophe is for ownership, not pluralisation. So you could quite correctly say "My Nexus's Firmware is somewhat buggered" as the firmware 'belongs' to the Nexus, so in this case an apostrophe is needed. With plurals you just add an s or an es if the singular ends in s, but there is never an apostrophe.

Having said that, there are many exceptions to adding an s, some of which (from Greek roots) end in an i instead, like Locus and Loci for example. However, with Nexus we've got a great and weird exception, as a Wiki I've just checked says the plural is the rather fun Nexûs! I think we should start using that, assuming we can be arsed to find the û when typing!

Oh hang on, wrong forum! I thought I was in the grammatical pedants forum for a moment. I'll get my coat.
[Nexus 7 General] ynrozturk:
Why do you assume it's "unfinished"? Have you ever stopped to think for a second that, GASP, that's how Google wanted it?

It works perfectly fine. And I mean perfectly fine.
[Nexus 7 General] AFAinHD:
I love the new lock screen design. It looks more fresh, and it was supposed to be like the new clock.apk which is amazing by the way.

Lol, like you know what you are talking about. I saw your thread in the Q/A where you called anyone who likes Google a bunch of monkeys (which I still don't understand) so get outta here you apple lovin troll.
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
Every time I see a post from you I think to myself.. Man, this is going to brighten my day, this guy is ALWAYS positive!
[Nexus 7 General] dalanik:
Hahaha, LMAO, but unfortunately, he is right. 4.2 caused sooo many problems.... This is how people migrate to Apple... I have 3 Android devices, 1 is crap (Galaxy Ace), constantly reporting no space, slow. Second is DHD, which never got upgrade to ICS, I had to replace it while it was under warranty. Third is Nexus 7 which caused me pain with 4.2 upgrade, and is also gone for replacement... No matter how much I hate apple, but I have NEVER heard such stories from "apple" flock...
[Nexus 7 General] AFAinHD:
He is not right! 4.2 was a fine update. All of you are reporting all these problems that MANY of us have yet to see one. I updated to 4.2 2 days after it came out and I have not had one single problem. Performance has improved and the new lockscreen is beyond beautiful. Multiple users works perfectly. Quick settings makes changing settings easier than ever. Also battery life has almost doubled. And I know I'm not the only one who has had a perfect experience with this update. Stop comparing Google to Apple. In my opinion Google has still never released a bad update. Also in my opinion Apple has never released anything good.
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
That's because the Apple flock have nothing to complain about. Their precious iOS devices are so basic/simple it would be difficult to screw up (yet Apple does manage to do it). When you only have basic features and an extremely limited amount of hardware to support AND you control every aspect of that hardware, things are infinitely easier. I mean hell, what are there, maybe a a couple of dozen devices that run iOS going back to the first iPhone and including all iPod and iPad devices? Android supports what...a few thousand devices not even considering PC variants and set top box versions of Android? Then factor in all the crap you can do on Android that is not even remotely possible in iOS (OS, not apps) and you add yet another level of complexity. I'm not trying to sound like a fanboy, but you need to be more critical in your thinking before you praise Apple and slam Google.
[Nexus 7 General] andrewdroid:
I think having to tolerate a few extra problems with a brand-new update is worth saving $130 (16gb) or $180 (32gb) from the ipad mini with its lower res screen. I do wish we had a back camera on our Nexus 7 though... not for taking real photos, but for apps like bar code reading and scan-to-pdf etc.

Also which section of the Apple flock are you speaking with? To do a proper comparison, you'd need to be hearing from the Apple power user flock, not just regular Apple putzes.
[Nexus 7 General] Azurael:
Sensationalism is all you'll find reported on websites like this. I own an HT24 HOX and a CAO Nexus 7, both of which are riddled with faults if you believe what you read on here. Yes, Apple have been noted for having very good - perhaps the best tech support in the industry, but that doesn't make them immune to design flaws or shoddy products. The palm rest on my MacBook, the lower memory slot in my old PowerBook G4, the GPU in my friend's MBP, the bloated battery on another friend's iBook, maps on iOS 6, the fundamentally flawed iPhone 4/4S design are just a few examples testament to that... So, these issues should be easier to resolve with a company like Apple, But I'd take an Android device which does what I want rather than what Apple say I can do with it any day. If your opinions vary on that, why post here? Expect sympathy?

Why does every thread complaining about anything turn into a damn Apple vs. The Rest discussion anyway? Its a piece of consumer electronics, not a damn football team. You don't have to stand firm on your side of the fence slinging insults across.
[Nexus 7 General] AFAinHD:
This isn't a football forum, its a phone forum, and opinions here of android vs apple are just as serious to some as football teams. Personally I will defend android all the way, I've had one apple device, and I hated it. It was too damn simple.
[Nexus 7 General] Safwaan:
Please stop defending Google like your life depends on it

Bluetooth, specifically A2DP, is broken and completely unusable - we need Google to fix this, this is a feature that this device is advertised as capable of. Please take off you rose-tinted, Google logo shaped glasses, there are many, many threads discussing how features that worked fine in previous firmware versions are now no longer functioning.

I regularly listened to music on my Nexus 7 with a Bluetooth headset and now all I get is broken, stuttery sound and in the silence before and after music high pitched noise.

I had this when I updated from 4.1.2. I had this after I flashed the 4.2 factory image. I have this after a factory reset. I have after deleting the Bluetooth device and re-adding.
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
Usually because someone whining about problems throws out the "I'm going to buy Apple" or "this is why Apple will get my money from now on" or whatever other stupid azz Apple comment they throw out and then....good citizens we are...we feel obligated to educate them and show them how dumb they are being.

Hope that helps you find some peace.
[Nexus 7 General] Dennelly:
I don't see why people don't like 4.2..I'm having 0 issues and I think my tablet has actually increased speed when it comes to the butteryness of it !
[Nexus 7 General] simonxliu:
Multi user slows everything down and all the syncing is destroying my battery life.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
Generalizing from personal experience does nothing for credibility.

Most of my family's tablet time is done on the second user, and nothing is slower for us.

Synching is under your control - if you don't like it, turn it off.
[Nexus 7 General] mrnovanova:
For all the naysayers 4.2.1 is out two 10 days after 4.2 if that's not proof that it sucked I don't know what is.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
Look at the change log - they fixed the date error - that is about all.
[Nexus 7 General] captmiddy:
I personally like 4.2 with the only issue I have being that the clock crashes if I open it in one profile then log in under another. This happens until I go back to the first one and kill the clock. Seems it isn't multi-user compatible. I use the clock as a timer when baking in our kitchen (in fact this tablet is our kitchen tablet and hardly ever leaves, we have an EEE Pad Transformer as our primary tablet), unfortunately my music is currently on my other account. Going to to have to move music up to our shared account rather than just in my personal.

I likely use my tablet a lot less than other people do since we use it to track our grocery list, look at recipes, read email some times, and listen to music in the kitchen so it is possible I just am not running into the issues. I will say that I am super eager to try to get 4.2 onto my Transformer because I do like the new drop down menus and I do like the multi-user support.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
Maybe I am using the clock differently than you - but it seems to work fine on two users for me.

I tried time display and timer display.

Might help if you cleared the clock cache under settings/apps/all.
[Nexus 7 General] mateorod:
Yep. That is proof that there was a big bug, about which they were likely very embarrassed. So they fixed it. Immediately.

I can't speak to how Apple or anyone else handles bugs or problems. But I can say that having thousands of users test Android roms and submit fixes is what leads to things like 4.2.1. As in, there was a problem that slipped through and it got fixed in...a week, maybe?

With the Nexus devices, you aren't reliant on a carrier for your updates, you know you will get them ASAP. So we, as users, have the power to report bugs and watch them disappear before our very eyes.

My only gripe is that I would like to have the option to spend a little more cash and have sturdier glass...but I can understand why they went the route they did. All your concerns as to actual bugs will be addressed.

If you don't like the style or way the UI works, look around for custom software that fills your needs, there are a ton of options since the source is available. We have the ability to pretty much make these devices do anything the hardware is capable of...it's cool.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
Nit: Small bug; one that I doubt anyone was inconvenienced by. Normal calendar was fine. Very embarrassing though...
[Nexus 7 General] andrewdroid:
For lag,

try updating to 4.2.1, and then also disabling Background Sync in the Google Currents app, and then restarting. The Google Currents thing seems to have helped me a lot.
[Nexus 7 General] sRDennyCrane:
Looks to me like Google saw an issue and immediately dealt with it... unlike some other OS out there that I won't name... who saw their map program was a trainwreck and said "Sorry... just use it more, it'll fix it self".

Google fixes problems, the other guy tell you that you're holding it wrong.

I am on board with the whole multi user thing, but for some reason I have about 4 levels of /0/ from switching ROMs which is just such a pain. I am about to wipe the whole thing and go back to 4.1 based ROMs
[Nexus 7 General] Saturny:
Just Fine.

Other then the "Play Store App" problem (as I call it), I've had no problems with 4.2 or 4.2.1 so far. I know a lot people are having problems with battery, stock calendar missing dec, lockscreen wigets, multi-user, lag, ect.
[Nexus 7 General] Ast2001:
I can confirm the problem with the clock application and the multi-user mode.
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
That's from you wiping from custom recovery. It removes a flag file that Google looks for to say "already migrated". TWRP updated a week or two ago to resolve that for their recovery, don't know about others.
[Nexus 7 General] littld:
My issue isn't with the function of 4.2. I can live with the reduced battery life. I've not seen a lag-free version of Android yet so I can live with that. It's the frequency and complexity of applying updates. No matter what I do they always screw up unless I wipe them completely and start again. So my icons end up in different places and each time I learn a new ADB command. Then I have to remember to turn off auto brightness, currents (whatever they are) etc. It's a good job most things are in the cloud or it would take even more hours for each update.

Apple don't have anything to worry about from Android. In terms of basic reliability Google is still years behind.
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
If you..

ARE NOT USING A STOCK ROM (seriously, this has to be said)

deodex system apps

freeze (and do not unfreeze) system apps

remove system apps

fiddle with build.prop

Your OTAs are going to go bad. Are you saying you're having trouble and have not done any of these things? There might be something I'm missing...

I would list "Custom Recovery" as well but I've personally usually had good luck with custom recovery and OTA's on stock ROM's
[Nexus 7 General] littld:
I've only ever used stock ROM but I need it to be rooted to get round other Android limitations (full screen web). To root it has to be unlocked and so the OTAs don't work. Whatever I use, only a full wipe seems to avoid lag and random reboots and so forth.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
Unlocked has no effect on OTAs. Mine has been unlocked since the day I got it, and all the OTAs have worked fine.

Voodoo RootKeeper even restored root every time. Random reboots are likely due to a specific app.

[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
Nope, I'm rooted. Just don't screw with any files on /system. Adding is fine, don't remove/modify. I just got the 4.2.1 OTA about an hour ago in fact, and it flashed just fine on TWRP 2.3.2.1. I got the notification, clicked it, clicked Install, TWRP came up and automatically flashed it then it rebooted, in 4.2.1.

This thread should be locked. The title says it all... its just a bunch of people hating on an update over and over again.
[Nexus 7 General] styckx:
And there is nothing wrong with that.. No one is "hating".. We aren't gang members and Android 4.2 isn't a rival member. It's a piece of software running on $250-$500 devices that has a handful of problems that are affecting and interrupting the productivity and general use of peoples $250-$500 products that they spent their hard earned money on. It's great some people aren't having problems but that doesn't mean others aren't and frustrated that their $250-$500 piece of electronic gadgetry is not working as advertised. Google released an update that fixed something 99% of people didn't care about. It got a lot of peoples hopes up and it was nothing but a PR stunt. Let people vent.. Venting is healthy and hurts no one.
[Nexus 7 General] PhillyCheez:

2. JB

3. The front camera glass was made flush (thank you HTC)

4. Matte rubbery coating!

Just three things that I feel makes this worth the upgrade over the original One X.
