Hi all,
the nexus 7 is my first nexus device (although I am drooling at the nexus 4 ),
but I was just wondering if anyone else, who has owned a different nexus device, could tell me how long you normally have to wait for the next version of android?.
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Some of the features will be available on the Nexus 7, some won't and you'll need to get a whole new device costing a small fortune to get the full update. It might break things along the way without giving you a way back.
....but then I remember it's Android and not Apple!

..... I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say here.
Being part of the whole Nexus line, there's a good chance we'll get 4.2 pushed out when the Nexus 4 and 10 get released. Google will be keen to have its flagship line all under the same version.

I agree. Google made it pretty clear (to me at least) that the Nexus line will be receiving the 4.2 update. There was absolutely no mention of Nexus 7 not receiving certain aspects of the update. I would say that Nexus 7 would receive the update the same day the 4 and 10 are released as well.

This is a joke for you guys who don't get it. All Nexus devices get updated I think. I think even old ones like the Nexus S and all that.
Lol well if he meant it as a joke it didn't read like one. Especially since a new device owner was asking about something he deemed a legit concern. If it was meant as a joke then my fault.

I agree. Pretty dumb answer to someone asking a legitimate question.
Google was supposed to release the 4,2 update on October 29th, but according to Asus it has been delayed ever so slightly.Asus says to expect an update to android 4.2 very soon.

My friend is still on stock N7 and got the update within a week. My dad is still on his stock S3 and the update won't come till next year.
Edit: I'm referring to 4.1.2 and 4.1.

I think you are confusing 4.1.2 with 4.2.
As far as I know, no one will have 4.2 before 13 November.

Expect android 4.2 on November 11th to November 12th on the nexus 7
Hi,
Thanks heaps guys, as long as we with the n7 arnt left in the lurch for weeks after the update comes out on the n4
My friend has a nexus s, and he had to wait a few weeks after 4.1 was released before he got it, but our devices are newer I suppose
Thanks

Unless you sideload, don't expect it on the 13th. OTA rolling updates can take up to a couple of weeks.

Got a reliable source on that? I'm guessing no because it's not true. Google has never released an OS on the day it was announced, and when they announce a new device, they never release the OS for older hardware until the new device is available. So the correct answer is to expect the update in the weeks following the N4/N10 release. Hopefully it will be out within a week, but it can take longer.
Google has said they will start rolling out 4.2 from Nov 11th, 2 days before new devices release.

No one ever knows when things are coming out from Google. It's what makes things special.
if you are wondering if it will get the next version of android - yes. it's a new(er) nexus device. look how long the nexus s was supported.

OMG. Dude, this is just a list of SAMSUNG devices. Nexus devices are GUARANTEED to get updates for at least two years. AT LEAST. You really think Google would stop giving updates to a device that was just release LAST YEAR?
I don't see why some people make such a huge deal about these updates. Sure they are nice to have, but they don't make or break a Nexus device.
I know when it will be released - when it's released.

There will be a lottery, 100 first lucky ones will be upgraded to 5.0, next 100 will be downgraded to 2.2, rest will be switched off and used as cutting boards.

LOLOLOLOL!

Pretty sure the N7 will get KLP somehow, be it by the wonders of the devs at XDA or by those at Google. I prefer the former over the latter, though. Stock has never suited me.
Wow. It's not like this hasn't been asked numerous times.
Will it get KLP? Assuming that will be the official name, it's likely that it will. The N7 is still well within the support life cycle for updates. Eben if it wasn't, the dev community is more than capable of cooking something from AOSP.
When will it come? Sometime after Google I/O. No one has a crystal ball and can forecast this far out what day Google is going to push the update or release the source.

If we don't get it from google the developers will get it working for us. In about half year I'll buy a new nexus. I think I'll wait for a new nexus 10 and upgrade, I never looked to see if a new nexus 10 was released yet.

Hey guys,
Had my nexus a few months now and loving it.
Also have a HTC One X+ as my work phone.
Today I went to update an app on the HTC One and it received the new Google Play store?
I would have thought that the nexus 4 would have been the first phone to receive this update.
Anyone else have it (officially)? I'm in Australia, but I wouldn't think that it matters since the One X+ received it?

Hmm my Nexus 4 just got updated to new Play Store as well. Not sure if the fact it is CM10.1 affects it or not.... Singapore here anyway...
I'm also in Australian and just checked my N4 after your post to find I got the google play update today also. Have been waiting ages for that.
Yeah? I just thought that it was strange that Google didn't update their own devices before others.
Although it could just be a whole play store update regardless of device manufacturer.
P.s- I personally think that it looks like a bit of a downgrade? Very plain

I got my update yesterday and I can't get rid of it if I install the update it just reinstalls itself.
Google have taken all the bad from the old version and enhanced it, it's now 'super' jerky instead of a little. Then all the good from the old version has been thrown out and replaced with giant icons letting you see only 4-6 apps at a time. Google never learn.
Hold on to the older version for as long as you can.

Google would never do that. If there are issues they will fix them and continue rolling it out. Play Store updates can take a long time to roll out and seemingly random (not based on hardware being used).

I'm not basing the fact on bugs or issues, just purely on the fact that it looks like a downgrade compared to the old one (old now).
The old one looked very nice, mature and pleasant on the eyes.
This new one looks like its been made for (possibly by) pre-schoolers. So simple and the complete opposite of intriguing.

I think the play store is one of things that just gets sent out for update, I don't think the nexus has any priority over other device when it comes to it.
Is this the new Google play store you all talking about? If so then I've had this for over a two weeks.

Got my update on 4/9
Nexus gets Android updates first not Play updates. With 1.5 million activations per day and all those devices carrying a Play Store, imagine how many
devices Google needs to update.
To reduce load on their servers, they update devices in batches.

Oh hell yeah. Adding on to that statement, you also realize that Android 4.4 KitKat is supposed to be supporting older devices and be hardware friendly. Sure it'll come to the Google Nexus, probably the first devices to receive it too. It might even hit the oldest generation of the GNex as well. I have an S4, but my fav ROM is the Google Edition 4.3 which is what I'm running right now! I've been looking on various news articles about 4.4 and I'm extremely excited for it! Apparently, there's rumors that we're going to be receiving a launcher with 4.4 called "Google Experience". It's not a huge update but there are some subtle UI changes which is what I'm dying to get to use. Hopefully it's all what we're looking for!
:good:
Launch
I read, that launch of KitKat should be today.. Does someone know anything more? :fingers-crossed: can´t wait..
As far as I know, it's a rumor.
You guys know only units purchased on a Tuesday will get 4.4......right?????

I predict the 28th of October. The rumors I've seen suggested the 18th or 28th, but I believe it should be released on a Monday and that would suggest the 28th. Anyone else notice that in recent times Android releases have rotated between Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday? 4.3 was released on a Wednesday so 4.4 should be released on a Monday.

That's because people get caught up in the hype, expecting the next official release to be as good as the custom roms put out by developers. Or, they just don't understand the all together. I personally have not gotten excited over any release. If I want it that bad, I just grab a rom, which in most cases have the release in it plus other goodies. And I'll have it sometimes months ahead of the official release.

Kitkat is an over haul just not a visual one the note 3 has plenty of ram and processing power we probably do not need the usefulness of kit Kat yet but it should be nice running on my RAZR m it has much weaker specs.
And we should stay up to date for software reasons of you expect to see something different you will be saddened.
