Just got the update notice. It's only 1.1mb. I'm guessing it basically just fixes the "December" bug in the People app. Anything else?
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
Got it here too about an hour ago in the United States.

Received it yesterday. Booted it one time. Turned debugging on, typed "adb reboot-bootloader" and unlocked the bootloader, flashed CWM. Booted into CWM and flashed AOKP. :p

My Nexus 4 was shipped with pre-production software. :D
[Nexus 4 General] yahoowizard:
I think I have to change something before I get the update as well, because I got the AOSP browser or something. I really hope there's nothing else in the way, since I've only rooted and unlocked the bootloader other than that.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Just sideloaded it, pretty cool process.
[Nexus 4 General] InvalidUsername:
Just as predicted. December is back in the People app. Nothing else is different, as far as I can tell.

Edit: The Kernel still has the November 8th date stamp, that obviously hasn't been played around with.

The usb host function is not working at all. When you use a usb otg cable to connect something like a keyboard, mouse or android accessory it dose not power or recognize the device like it should. Its still unknown if this is a software or hardware problem.

They must have some strange rollout going on as I'm in the UK too and still no update and I've checked a number of times. I'm just unlocked and rooted, no custom recovery. Oh well I'm sure it'll come in time.

[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
It's random.. With the 4.2 update my GN took a week to get it, my N7 got it on the day it was released.

You can always stick it on with adb if you're impatient (details on another thread I believe).

Can someone give me a definite answer for the Nexus 4?

Which of these would prevent your device from receiving OTA updates:

- Unlocked bootloader

- Root

- Custom recovery

Many thanks to anyone that can help out!
[Nexus 4 General] i.l.p:
In the UK and no update for me yet, everything is stock apart from i tapped that thing several times to get the developer options.
[Nexus 4 General] Disastorm:
How do updates work? Why would it matter where you are located in a country if its checking the update on the internet and the phone itself is the same?

it doesn't matter. it is a lottery when you get it. either that or you gotta support arsenal!
[Nexus 4 General] shojus:
I used the exact same method and all is well! The biggest difference I notice is that my display is brighter now when on different levels so I am sure they did something to the brightness of the display...? :good:

[Nexus 4 General] BC01:
December is also back in Austria! ;)
[Nexus 4 General] FallingEdge:
I've been getting errors when trying to flash the zip. Root, stock rom, CWM, and custom kernel. However, I do have the AOSP Browser installed. I will try to remove that, fix permissions and try again.
[Nexus 4 General] CMNein:
Did you rename/remove the Chrome files? It should tell you why assert is failing, aside from status 7.
[Nexus 4 General] shojus:
I know it's not HIS answer but I rooted with the toolkit and have a stock rom with custom recovery 6.0.1.9 and an unlocked bootloader(of course) and just did it exactly how he explained only I didn't see his post until now but it does work if you already have the prompt to download the update and you make sure to hit yes at the prompts and your golden! :)
[Nexus 4 General] FallingEdge:
Yeah, I did that as well. Current error I am getting is assert failed: apply_patch_check("EMMC:/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) where the x = numbers
[Nexus 4 General] VivaErBetis:
Unlock bootloader via Fastboot, flash CWM recovery via Fastboot and flash SuperSU 0.98 zip using CWM recovery.
[Nexus 4 General] Guster730:
I had AOSP browser, removed it and fixed the other two files that you had to rename to install it. Flashed with TWRP, put TWRP back on through fastboot, then flashed superSU. Works fine.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Did you use superboot or flash an insecure boot image?
[Nexus 4 General] FallingEdge:
http://www.addictivetips.com/androi...-unlock-recovery-adb-fastboot-drivers-backup/

I used the latest version of this toolkit. Unlocked bootloader and then flashed the recovery.
[Nexus 4 General] b4ifuru18:
I downloaded the update OTA and was given the option to install. I installed and it installed via CWM, then it asked me if i want to fix recovery flash, i clicked yes, then it asked me if i wanted to fix root and i clicked yes..

The phone is still rooted with 4.2.1 and faux123 kernel.
[Nexus 4 General] javacody:
Anyone else tired of seeing the same damn questions over and over?
[Nexus 4 General] Nucleotide:
Sideloading worked fine for me - root, cwm, stock.

After it installed via CWM sideload, I hit reboot and it prompted whether or not I wanted to keep the custom recovery and also to fix root. Still have custom recovery and still have root. :)
[Nexus 4 General] FallingEdge:
Anyone with any thoughts?
[Nexus 4 General] Nucleotide:

[Nexus 4 General] noodles2224:
Guys found this in Nexus 7 forum on trouble with sideload method. But works great to get your OTA notification! After clearing data, check system update. :)

Thank the poster for this..
[Nexus 4 General] Ulver:
I did the clear framework trick and got the OTA on the second try.
[Nexus 4 General] jsuresh:
I also tried the clear framework thing and it worked on the first attempt ..
[Nexus 4 General] cloud1111:
I tried the clear framework and got error, now I don't get the update notification again lol.
[Nexus 4 General] decepticon:
Got the download prompt and when it booted to install I got a message that just said error.
[Nexus 4 General] Red Wolf:
I still didn't get the update o_0
[Nexus 4 General] djsaad1:
Tried to install it three different ways and I keep getting status 7 installation aborted and something about the systemui.apk

When i clicked on the OTA notification this happened and when I tried to flash and/or sideload from CWM and TWRP it happened.

The only thing I can think to do is format system and then flash, but I am wondering if there is a quick fix for this before I do that.
[Nexus 4 General] noodles2224:
keep trying if you dont get it. I got the first tried but then failed because i removed emailexchange,earth,currents and other stuff so I had to put those back but then it wouldnt show up again, keep clearing or *#*#2432546#*#* from dailer.. I just received it again and updated :)
[Nexus 4 General] GSMachinst:
In on the same boat as your bro. Let me know how you fix it.
[Nexus 4 General] Red Wolf:
and it worked :)
[Nexus 4 General] Arhtard:
So i had to clear it 4 times to get the notification. But, it says only via wifi. I don't have wifi access :(
[Nexus 4 General] mobilehavoc:
1. Download the 4.2 Nexus 4 image from Google

2. Extract the zip and extract the enclosed zip again until you find a system.img. Copy the system.img to folder that has fastboot executable

3. Boot your phone into fastboot

4. Connect USB

5. Type "fastboot flash system system.img"

Now do the OTA. NOTE this will wipe your system and reflash it so you'll lose root and any other changes you've made to system but it won't touch your data.
[Nexus 4 General] Banished Angel:
Okay I know this has been going on for over 20 pages, but there is a lack of agreement. I'm getting my phone tomorrow and if I unlock the bootloader, flash CWM, and root it right away can I then get this OTA via wifi and install it on the phone, without sideloading it or installing via CWM, and then reboot and choose to keep CWM and root as VivaErBetis stated above?

Some people are saying it requires the stock recovery and some are saying it doesn't. Thank you for any clarification and sorry again for asking this for the 30th time in this thread.

Bugger, car mode is still broken.
[Nexus 4 General] InvalidUsername:
What's "car mode"?
[Nexus 4 General] d_phekt:
Yes. And now with the new wave of orders and devices being shipped I have the feeling the questions have just begun.
[Nexus 4 General] xdatastic:
On my Nexus S, car mode is a launcher with bigger buttons for use while driving. Doesnt seem to be included on the Nexus 7.
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
That's not car mode. That's the car home app.

Car mode allows the launcher to rotate to landscape. Most importantly it sets the home button to go to the car home app or another car home replacement.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Car mode isn't broken, it's just discontinued.

Long discontinued in fact.
[Nexus 4 General] stuart0001:
Rubbish or provide a source for this please.

In fact car mode does show as active (by notification) if you use an app such as car mode control (and probably a car dock too but I can't test this), its just the phone doesn't behave as it should whilst in car mode.
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Incorrect. Car home is discontinued but can be side loaded.

Car mode worked up until 4.1.2. It automatically launched using the car dock with my galaxy nexus.

Its still there in 4.2. Its just broken.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] stuart0001:
So just to clarify, Car App has been discontinued but Car Mode hasn't, it's just broken in 4.2.x

I tried to set-up a workaround using Tasker but "Car Mode" is not showing to use as a state with 4.2.x
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Correct. The app called Car Home by Google has been discontinued. Its still in the market but only available with 2.2 and below. However it still functions perfectly when side loaded.

Yeah I have forced car mode. It will launch daydream because I have it set to "when docked." It shows in notifications, but the home button goes to the launcher and not a car home app. The launcher won't rotate and when exiting car mode the launcher will FC.

CWM works and someone had said TWRP gives an error which is what you described.
[Nexus 4 General] CMNein:
I use TWRP. I didn't try flashing the update however, but instead sideloaded it. I lost root/recovery, so be ready to flash TWRP again and install SU/BB.

CWM fixes it so it does not break root. Takes you through the steps automatically.

Yes it would have. Worked just fine for me.

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

Volume down is first for about a second then power while still holding volume down. After 2 or 3 seconds you're into fastboot.

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------

Means you don't have custom recovery on your device.

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------

None of those. I have all three done of what you listed and I received the update.

Nexus Media Importer on Play Store will go around that. Yeah , it's a paid app, but it's a small price to pay to enjoy USB drives.

Don't think it'll work for controllers tho, you'd need root for that.

[Nexus 4 General] rageguy:
It has to be related to you not being 100% stock.

1. How did you root it? Be specific. Detailed steps will be nice.

2. Why did you root your device? Perhaps you did some changes after. For example, you altered some files in /system

The reason is because I unlocked the bootloader. I rooted. I can still OTA fine.

Got the phone yesterday, charged and used all evening. Battery life seemed decent.

Updated to 4.2.1 before going to bed. Charged all night. Took phone off charger at 9am and the battery was at 40% before noon.

Reset phone to see if that fixed the issues. Google Services showing a 49% use of battery and disabling various Google syncs and resetting the Contacts app didn't seem to solve the problem.

Charging now after the reset to see if I have the same issue as before.

Also, can't connect to about 50% of wifi networks I try. It REALLY has issues with that, from what I've read on other forums.
