Loving the n4 however having issues with 4.2
Wife has a nexus 7 which had 0 issues with WiFi and Bluetooth before the update and now has issues with both. My nexus 4 is having the very same issues as well now.
I wish I made a nandroid when I first got the phone but of course I was too eager right away and updated. I searched for 4.1.2 but have had no luck.
Anyone else know?

i think it came with a prerelease software of 4.2... i don't think we ever had 4.1.2.. not sure didn't check before ota..
You had no luck because the device never had 4.1.2 to begin with.

As I miss the good old MIUI
And MIUI 4 doesn't work on 4.2
And MIUI 5 seems to take forever
And MIUI can quite easily be ported to 4.1
And Optimus G is 4.1
And Nexus 4 can flash Optimus G Kernel
I just wanted to ask if somebody with more time than me wants to try and port MIUI 4 to the Nexus. :good:
Miui 4 is in fact terribly optimized on my older nexus s, I'm not too sure about the galaxy nexus as I never flashed it, but I would assume the same. It's never a good idea to have a hacked phone, running on ported software, as problems will be much harder to debug, as they could be from either the port or/and the hacked kernel

Lost my nexus last night in a cab. My replacement device won't come in until Wednesday. So I'm gonna have to run my backup device the DInc for a few days. I have not turned this thing on or messed with it in 1.5 years...
I know it has the latest ASOP android for its time. I think 2.3.7 running thrrxxsomething. I gotta get this up to ICS/Jelly. Is it worth it? Anything somewhat stable and working... All I need is BT/GPS/phone to fully work.
Any insights/recommendations greatly appreciated.

My latest cm10 if you want jellybean and the most working. Android 4.2 is flaky with BT to begin with.

time to get rid of the Dinc shortcut from the browser...
Hi guys, I just bought my nexus 4. I'm really hesitant in updating because I also own a nexus 7 and when I updated that, my tablet was just flawed from left to right so I ended up downgrading it back to 4.1.2. Also, I hear that there is a way to enable LTE, but that with the new update the LTE function goes away? I would really appreciate to hear you guys' opinions. Thanks!

I updated my Gnex and my Nexus 7 but i won't update my Nexus 4, i wanna keep my lte connection, it's up to you, if you don't need lte go ahead and update.

Even if you do update to the latest you can still flash a different radio which will give you the option to use lte.
Oh ok just wanted to make sure that I wouldn't lose the LTE option. Does the new update have any flaws? Or are u happy with the new update and what are the differences between 4.2.1 and 4.2.2?

I think a lot of us are on the 4.2.2 update. Those who didn't update are of course on 4.2.1 because they want their LTE. I would like to a say a majority of the members are on 4.2.2.
Some folks are still having Bluetooth and WiFi issues. Problems like the difficulty of connecting to their device and the same for WiFi. This is plaguing some users but not all. Just a small percentage. On my end everything is working fine. It's just weird to hear others are having these problems. I never have any issues with my devices. If you want to update to 4.2.2, I strongly suggest you do a super clean install/update.

Oh ok well it's good to hear that there isn't as many problems with the update as there was with the nexus 7. But I am a bit hesitant because I'm on T-Mobile and I hear that they are about to get LTE in my area. I live in Los Angeles.

Lol. I live in NY and I think LTE is available on T-Mobile here as well.
If you want to use LTE, then don't update yet. If 4.2.1 is working fine don't update it.

Yes. As long as you find the stock rom/custom rom based on what you're looking for.

I couldn't find the 4.2.1 rom on the google website that's why. They only have the 4.2.2 rom.

4.2.2 has been better for battery life, at least for me. You should update it. And for LTE you can flash old radio, but might not work with the latest versions of certain ROMs, so do your research on that. I believe you can just do a nandroid for 4.2.1 (not 100% on this)

Yeah thanks for the advice, and your right about the battery life because I feel that considering that the nexus 4 has a 2100mah battery the battery doesn't last long enough. If I can do a nandroid backup then it would be awesome. I'm pretty new to the nexus 4 scene, so I appreciate everyone's help thus far.

anyone have a link to the 4.2.1 stock ROM. i think my speaker for my phone has gotten lower with the 4.2.2 update and i want to downgrade it.

It's the third one down the list on the "images". Use 7zip to unpack the files and flash away!
EDIT: There is the option to have 4.2.2 with the 33 baseband to retain the LTE, however that has caused problems for people so the only official way to make it work with LTE is to flash 4.2.1 with the 33 base.
okay ive been seeing a lot of bug reports,systemui crashes on 4.3 roms, even on stock 4.3. if this update was so important and everyone says its better why all the bug reports? im honestly thinking of reverting back to 4.2.2. it seemed a lot more stable. just seeing if anyone has the answer to all these damn bugs.
I haven't experienced any bugs using my Nexus 7 with Android 4.3, both on stock and PA. It may seem that many people are experiencing bugs, but there may also be x times more that do not experience them and simply keep their mouth shut.

Stock rooted 4.3. No issues here.
Try to reflash stock ROM.

Bugs? What bugs? I got 4.3 OTA (I run stock on the 7), rooted it and haven't looked back. I'm currently at 17 days uptime, seems perfectly stable to me.
