Should I update? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi fellow nexus 7 users. I just received my nexus 7 this morning. No problems so far! It is telling me to update to 4.1.1 but I have heard so many issues after updating to this so should I leave it or take the risk?? Thanks in advance guys.

You should update. In my opinion there is no "risk".

What issues? If you're concerned based on what you've read, maybe ask in those threads so people know what you're talking about... (this is not a flame, just a suggestion. If there are existing threads on the topic, then just ask there. You'll get better responses from people who know why you're asking. A new thread without any of this info is confusing to other users and sort of mucks up the forums).

Physical screen issues are hardware. If you mean the flickering, you get that with all the updates, including stock firmware.

not aware of any update related issues other than rooting related tomfoolery. I think you've maybe read a few things and conflated different issues into 4.1.1. The screen-lifting on my unit was there when I opened the box, and the light flickering on first use disappeared quickly, although I am not sure if that was due to the updates. I'd do it, as I already have!

Not officially available. That's why all the current 2.3.5 NxS _custom_ ROMs come with a 2.3.4 fingerprint.
Still no sign of it... Not impressed

You could always build it from AOSP yourself and flash it.

Won't come before ICS anymore is MY guess, there's way too much to do to get it out to all NxS NON-4G versions with only minor improvements. Unless Google wants to seriously push Wallet within the next few months, but they don't have to atm.

Why do you think you need it? What issues that 2.3.5 resolves are affecting you?

I'd say the recent Android Browser Cross Application Scripting vulnerability demonstrated by IBM is something that I'd like to see get fixed and which is fixed in 2.3.5.

[Q] Encrypt Nexus 7 or not?

Any thoughts on encryption? Any input from people that have done it?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Doesn't seem like OTA updates work with encryption, I planned to encrypt mine like the rest of my stuff but not if I can't get updates.

Was your GNex rooted and encrypted?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Personally, I think that unless you actually have something important and confidential to protect, it really doesn't warrant the use of encryption. It makes things a pain in the arse e.g. updates, some recoveries don't work with encryption etc.

[Q] Something moving/loose in earpiece?

Hi all, got my nexus 4 yesterday through O2 yesterday and started using it today, first impressions are it is a brilliant phone, much better than the s3 of mine which after updating to 4.1 became very slow among other things!
Anyway the purpose of this thread is to find out if you guys have the same 'problem' as me! Basically when I shake the handset I can hear something moving inside the earpiece, this don't sound normal to me but if it is a regular thing then ok, but if not I'm going back to O2 tomorrow.
So, does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks
Same here mate.. I didn't noticed that until now. I hope it will not cause me any hearing problems..:what:

Doesn't really bother me (yet) but don't want it to turn into a problem!
It should be definitely ok, let's hope this will be the only problem with the handset. So far I am impressed. I need to be carefull and not to drop it.

Still not received 4.2.1 update

Hi all, just a quick question relating to the 4.2.1 update. I still haven't received the update on my completely stock nexus 4. I'm in the UK but I am aware of others in the UK too who have already got the update. Just wondered if there is any reason for this? I know I can update manually but would rather get the update OTA
Thanks in advance

US. Nothing as well. Since this update doesn't really adds to anything important for me so I'm not upset.
I live in the United States and haven't gotten it either. This is usually a slow rollout process regardless. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Yeah I'm not too bothered, just intrigued whether there is something wrong with my device or some sort of setting different? If it was a big update I would be a bit annoyed by now!

I was on the same boat as you all.
In order to get the update go to app settings and clear data for "Google Services Framework", and try to find update again.
Worked for me.
That worked thank you, just need to wait to connect to WiFi now!

Hi,
Most people come here if they have problems.
Maybe,there are not that many problems.
Maybe most don't know of xda we are a couple of people here though
