I've heard problem after problem regarding the 4.2 update so far. I got my Nexus 10, and I never did the OTA update. Everything runs flawlessly; I've had 0 restarts or FCs since I got it a week ago. What are the advantages of upgrading to 4.2, besides the multi-user support (which I doubt I'll use)?

Tons and tons of bugfixes, among other things.
Ive had no problems at all after the OTA update?
Where are all the problems then?
Irrespective of whether you do the update or no... you will have 4.2... just an older version with things like multi-user support disabled...

This. I believe it's like either using a beta/pre-release 4.2, or release 4.2

What sorts of bug fixes? I haven't had any so far (that I know of). The bugs I've heard about are things like december is missing, the clock won't sync correctly. I didn't realize that I was just on an older version of JellyBean though, so I guess I have no reason not to update. Thanks for the help guys!

Just as an example for the amount of stuff that goes on that most people never heard about, this is a "complete" changelog from the 4.1.1->4.1.2 update:
https://gist.github.com/3861583
Most if not all updates are like this, they fix things you didn't even know that they were broken.
My device says it HAS 4.2 but the device has a 4.2 update it wants me to install. Will this break my root? If so it there a fix to disable the OTA update?

Use Vodoo OtaRootKeeper before update for when you do lose it. you can restore root after update.

I have a stock Nexus 4 and it says an Update is available.

An update doesn't cause issues, it fixes them... Especially an update from Google directly.
Also if you Google search "4.2.2 Changelog" you'll get what you're looking for.
Its not that hard. :good:

I always flash the whole rom instead of OTA`s to avoid issues. You get them here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam.
My N4 just arrived today.
I have version 4.2.2 installed.
A quick search on gooogle shows a lot of negative feedback from users on the 4.3 update.
I want to root it too but I'm unsure about the update, have you ecountered problems with latest update that couldn't be fixed?
Or better said, what are the most common bugs and can they be fixed?
Also what about roms, which one should i try, PA?
Some people experienced random reboots, I never had them on JWR, I do on JSS.
Also JSS has sometimes dead locks and freezes for about 10 seconds.
But since the update I experience much better battery life! So yeah if you will use the stock ROM I guess you wont have any of these problems, only advantages.
Thanks for the question and the answer, I'm in the same spot and maybe I'll try some custom JWR this weekend, although the plethora of different specific 4.3 bugs going around - besides those already mentioned - remembers a X-File case.

Changed my mind! Seen too many negative comments on youtube... I'm just gonna root this version 4.2.2. and I'll wait for 5.0
Any tips when rooting 4.2.2?
4.3.3 is actually a great upgrade with tons of features and additions. It is just brand new so there are a few bugs to be worked out. But 4.2.2 has bugs that won't be worked out at all.

So how long do you think it will take for them to fix these bugs?
OTA 4.3 update with twrp 2.5 no root.
I have no issues.
If you want a reliable jwr custom ROM then cataclysm is awesome and has no problems either for me.
I use stock for unrooted and cataclysm rooted regularly for different reasons but I definitely recommend updating to 4.3 regardless.

Not sure. That's why I'm on a custom ROM. Devs usually fix things quicker.

You can always go back to a previous version. I'm not really sure why you're being so skittish.
FYI, "5.0" will likely be far more riddled with bugs. More changes means more room for error. You have a freaking Nexus. Get with the program.
My advice to you is to not use a toolkit. Setup fastboot and know how to flash the stock images BEFORE attempting anything. That way, if something goes wrong you can fix it without making yet another "HALP! I bricked my phone" thread. We have way too many of those.
well i was flat out stunned that i got an update notification on my a500 today..... software 1.066
i cant find any info except for a single thread on the official acer forums in which 2 other people posted today they got this OTA update notice
seeing how the last OTA update borked my (and many others) screen auto-rotate functionality... i am going to hold off on downloading and installing this (i had to send it back to acer Two times to get them to fix this issue - software related.... and seeing how i am out of warranty even if this OTA caused problems ACER will not fix it for you even if it is their software problem like last time was)
i was hoping one of you brave souls had instlaled it and could tell me what it is.... seeing how its only 63mb im not expecting anything major

Honestly, what could Acer possibly have to offer that's better than the custom roms found here? With the latest Cm 10.2, bootloader 8 or 9,and a decent recovery, anything Acer could send OTA would be a downgrade. This thing is more stable than many newer devices with similar software. It's faster and more useful than the ipad I use at work. Who needs Acer?

Would be interesting to see what's in it. Vache put out a pc based update checker. Might be able to snag it to pc then decrypt, unzip, and see what's in it. Could be a prelude to an upcoming version update.
I got the update too and frankly I was very surprised. Of course it didn't install but I saved the file in case somebody is interested in seeing it.
No people know what this update about??
I didn't receive any OTA update notification.
My build number is Acer_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1

Will look at it when I return from vacation. In the meatime, there's a decrypt tool in Themes and Apps. Pretty simple. Then you can open it in winzipand see wwhat's there.
My guess is a maintenance update. Acer officially stated last year ics is as far as they go with 50x tab.
Thanks for posting.

Last night I went full stock in order to install the OTA just because I was curious like everybody else .... and honestly I didn't see any changes but the built number. The Android is still 4.0.3 with no noticeable changes. Maybe the updates they made were all under the hood.

When I went read the CM10.2 post, I saw some feature work, some not, with the problem of SOD. I'm still on full stock and didn't see this update, but I'm more interested in getting a very stable build instead of getting the latest version. What do you think the benefit is to get the latest CM10.2? Thanks.

Well, first, you're talking about Android 4.3, which Acer has not released for our device. Most benchmarks I've seen show better performance with the cm 10.2 variants than in 10.1, let alone the stock roms. Besides less bloat, more customization, and custom kernels, upgrading to a 4.3 ROM gets you new features not available in previous versions. As for stability, the first alpha builds of 4.3 I tried were already more stable than some 4.2.2 release candidates I tried.
I've used both of the 4.3 ROMs found in the forum here and they are both good.

I went to check the CM 10.2 post, and saw a lot reports on stability. I use my tab to read some websites, and not a lot others, I have a phone and a laptop for all others. All I want the tab is to turn on instantly when I push the power button so I can read when I want to, late in the night on bed, and even that can't be met. It just SODs.

It's unfortunate you're having trouble. I've been using 4.3 for a while now with no major issues. You can always use 10.1 or even 10.0

Yep, just the patch. Also you can go back to an older version of Android. I thought this patch messed up my SD card and Odin'd back without a problem. Turns out my SD card was just bad.

You will usually get less than normal battery life after an update. This is normal for Android.
What is the best course of updating if I'm rooted and on a custom TW rom?
Unconfirmed, not exactly why or how but my gf's N4 has been suffering from poor signal and loss. This update has seemingly corrected those issues. I haven't done it on mine but I'm optimistic because I've been having similar issues. They just say "bug fixes" so not sure exactly what that is. Obviously the Stagefright is one of those but there may also be tweaks and corrections here and there. I'd be curious to know if anyone else has been having those issues and whether or not this update fixes them.
Also confirming its not 5.1.1
I used a different app to test and it said I was not vulnerable.

You can also boot up into recovery and wipe cash partition which will sometimes help, this is what I did when updating from 4.4 to 5.0 it helped.
I did try a few other apps to test stagefright and one said no and two said it was vulnerable, the best process to update which has never failed me is Odin to full stock, root it flash recovery and flash what you want from there, I've tried every way there is to sneak an update but that's the sure fire way to make sure everything is in order and gives the best outcome.
