Why am I still not getting the 4.2 OTA? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I bought my nexus 7 a couple days ago, haven't rooted it or anything of the sort (yet) but when I check for updates it still says I'm up to date on 4.1.2?
Anyone else still not getting the OTA notification?

Hold on, be patient. There have been millions of N7's sold and it takes a couple of days or more to get the update out to everyone. You can find many threads that would help you manually install the update, but since you are new to the N7, you might want to wait until you get the official notification and let it install. You'll have plenty of time to unlock, root, and customize your new plaything. And, yes, I still haven't gotten the OTA notification, but I'm reading about everyone's experience so I'll be prepared for some changes.

You can keep on clearing the " Google services framework" cache and checking for updates until it pops up. I had to do it about 8 times before it finally showed the update.

My advice would be to wait!

From my experience, I left WiFi active whole night and when I woke up update have been downloaded and ready for installation. Good luck!

Market update?

I an attempt to try to get GB, I have been accessing the Market, and trying to update firmware (no luck btw), and it seems that Market updated itself??? The Market screen seems more condensed. Anyone else seeing that?
FINALLY!!!!! An option to enable all apps to update by default!!!! NICE
I am on build 3.3.11 btw.
I keep a link to the market on the home screen, so I figured something was up when the bag icon changed. Update all is pretty cool...until your phone tries to update some big apps while you are out and about which kills your battery. You can default it to only update when on WiFi, which does help.
Also, if you have multiple google accts, you can change them on the fly from the market header bar. Maybe that's been there, but noticed it for the first time today. It was pointed at a different acct.
Hope this build stops the "false update" problem!

Yeah, we follow the news too.
This has nothing to do with the S3, by the way.

It only took me about 45mins to delete all the crap that has accumulated over the last 3 year, but thanks Google what's 3 years ehhh...... :beer:
The issue of not remembering your place in the list was infuriating. Try looking for cm10 themes when it keeps going back to the start of the list! This is the single most important fix.

You could have multi selected them all at once and then delete.

Why on jesusalabuddha's earth did it take google so song to get these new....hmmmmm.....features? And to boot....I had to sideload it manually. But so far I tested....and it rocks imo.
I had trouble installing it into /data/apps/.
I also renamed the old one first before bringing in this new one.
It wouldn't let me click the INSTALL button. (the 2nd one) So I rebooted and voila, it was there installed.
I still get the NOT CONNECTED bug at least 1 out of every 3 times I try to navigate within Google Play. RETRY button always helps.
Got it working - had to rename it because I'm running inverted gapps

I installed it a few days ago and being able to delete past "trial" apps is well worth the effort of side loading it!

yes you can download the update manually ...
go to settings > apps and clear data for google services framework as well as force quit. Then try to update. That should work

Hah. Didn't even think of something that silly. A new 16GB Nexus 4, out of the box, needed that trick to see the new update. Come on, Google

That's because Google made it obsolete. That method is long gone.

I am sure its a silly question.

What do I need to enable to stop the 4.2 update constantly asking me to upgrade now or later? Usually you can just have the option to skip it no?
I know my phone won't ask unless I search under software updates.
This one pops up on the constant and happy with 4.1.2. Not feeling the terrible reviews on 4.2 so just want to skip it for now or till a more stable one comes out.
appreciate any help.

[INFO] Stop OTA update nagging
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
The suggestions in the reply above are the best but they all require a rooted Nexus. Until you root your tablet try on Google Services Framework in Settings - Apps - All column:
1. Disable Notifications - fewer update reminders.
2. Clear Data - forgets an update is ready but may just re-download one.
3. Disable GSF - stops reminders but breaks Google Play Store and others.
I use number 3 as JB 4.1.2 works perfectly.
I have got similar prob but I am on 4.2. hoping this will work.

You can long press the notification and go to app info and uncheck the show notification box as well.

Thanks for the replies guys. Really don't understand why its setup this way. Wish it was like my S3.
Not really wanting to root this yet, but if the above don't work, may have too.

It's anyone else getting error 15001 when trying to use Netflix?

This comes up every time I try to use Netflix. I bought this tablet yesterday morning and I haven't been able to use Netflix yet.
I've tried reinstalling it and clearing user data.
EDIT: I just got the JSS15Q update and Netflix now works!

Try signing off netflix and sign back in.
Netflix worked for me first couple of days then quit and gave me errors. I ended up uninstalling Netflix after trying everything in the threat about the issue then installing it again and it has worked every since.
Netflix has been absolute garbage for me on the Nexus 7. I have to sign out and back in almost every time I launch the app for it to work correctly. I've gotten those errors before, and I've also had it sit at the loading screen for ten minutes doing nothing.

Try heading to (settings>apps>all apps>netflix> wipe data & cach ) let us know how it goes
Sent from my Moto X Infused GS3
I get this message at random. Sometimes, the app itself logs me out and prompts for user name/password after showing this message. Then it works.
If you can try and find the .apk file for a previous build. The current up to date file could have a bug.

Netflix have been on undergoing changes that's why sometimes issues arise but are temporary. They updated the app, to work with 4.3 squashed some bugs and now they are adding features to the service. Everything is working fine on my end, also due to this is not only the Android app same happened with the site on PC and on my PS3, but all is working now.
And please stop blaming the Nexus 7 "Flo" for every single issue when are the apps that have the issues.
