Is their anyone here not gonna jump into 4.3 yet? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Judging from the board their really isnt much of a need to atleast not until the OTA update comes out or when custom roms and kernels come out for 4.3.. I mean battery life on 4.3 has been hit or miss, Rooting 4.3 is still buggy and may not work right?

I'll get it when my phones finally get the OTA I can wait to root if need be. Just as I can wait for custom roms and kernels too.

I am waiting for the CM 10.2 merge to complete and to see what they come up with as a solution for the whole nosuid issue on the system partition.

just flash the .33/.83 hybrid radio, download the network app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mangelow.network), select lte/gsm (auto), change your apn from epc.tmobile.com to fast.t-mobile.com and enjoy.

I actually jumped on it right away, but evidently my favorite app (Podkicker Pro) needs tweeking to be compatible with it because it keeps crashing every time i open it. I went back to 4.2.2 for now but once Podkicker is updated, then I'll jump back onto 4.3. My only regret is that I'll miss the original gtalk app. So far, I am NOT a fan of Hangouts.

Chainfire's SU for the SGS4 works on our N4s. He posted it on his Google+ page. It is also referenced in the 4.3 OTA thread.

What do i do if i get this message in cmd? says that it is not recognized as a internal or external command, operable program or batch file
Im on windows 8

Yep, I'm going to wait. I put the factory image on my Nexus 7, but I'm going to wait for Cyanogenmod to release a 4.3 build for the Nexus 4.

Waiting for mbq's BBQ ROM so I'll be waiting for the betas.

Waiting for Halo + 4.3.
I'm not going to complain about it though in the thread because I want them to take there time and do it right.

I got the ota link from here and haven't looked back since. I didn't have 4g for all of 20 hours and now I am on some pure Aosp goodness from Jarjar124. No complaints from me even though I thought it would kill me to be on vanilla'sh ROMs.

Going to wait till the JellyBeer ROM updates

I jumped. I'll install PA4.3 when its dropped tho. But I really like 4.3 Improvement all around.

Waiting for PA...

Can't help with the fact that I have to sacrifice so many features from custom ROM and kernel for the "upgrade". The android version can wait.

nevermind I was gonna do it but my drivers are messed up or its windows 8 fault but cmd doesnt recognize my Nexus 4 so I'll just wait for the POT update. screw it

I am waiting for Paranoid Android to upgrade to 4.3

Will 4.3 remove the LTE featured I flashed on 4.2.2

Thanks in advance guys!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app
It will. 4.3 isn't fully compatible with the LTE enabled, older radio. People are messing with hybrid radios to fix the incompatibility issues, but that's still a work in process i.e. bugs.

My OTA update said 4.3 was ready to install, but when I clicked install nothing seemed to happen. I am rooted and have TWRP installed as my recovery. Any suggestions?
And now when I check for an update, my phone says I'm up to date but I'm still on 4.2.2.

You have to do it manually by use fastboot method. OTA is not gonna work when you flash the TWRP as your Recovery.
2 method: 1. fastboot flash your recovery back to stock one OTA will work. 2. Flash your N4 with fastboot to get 4.3 ROM.
I went back to the stock 4.2.2 rom and I'm not rooted anymore, but now the stock recovery doesn't work. So how can I update to 4.3?

Just bought a Nexus 4 and I got some questions!

Actually, I didn't just bought it. I originally bought 2 Nexus 4 at launch. One was for my dad and one is for me. I didn't opened mine until now, which is many months after launch.
I don't know which version of Android is on my phone, but I think it's probably 4.1. I know about the LTE hack and how it was disabled in 4.2. Now that Android 4.3 is out, how can I update to 4.3, but still keep LTE as an option? I prefer stock Android, but a friend is telling me to install Cyanogen Mod. Won't that require a root and is Cyanogen using Android 4.3 yet?
Anyways, my main priority is to update to Android 4.3 while keeping LTE if possible. How can I do that? Thanks!
Nexus 4 comes stock with 4.2. You can use LTE but you'll have to flash a zip file that will enable it. Yes I believe CM has a 4.3 build already.

Will I need to root my phone to enable it? I thought there's also some sort of key command to activate LTE?
Regardless, if I upgrade to Android 4.3 right now, is there a way to enable LTE or you don't recommend me to do any sort of updates until I have sort out the LTE issues? I'm just afraid that after upgrading to 4.3, I won't have any recourse to go back and get things right.

You will have to flash a custom recovery which isnt that hard. There are a lot of guides out there that will certainly help! Yesterday I came across this vid and he explains it very well!

Yes! I had all these questions myself a few days ago, because I used a toolkit in the past, but actually it isnt hard to do it urself.

[Q] Rooting, CM and upcomming Android 4.4

I want to root my Nexus 4 and install newest CM. One problem is, that there is Android 4.4 update comming soon. So if I root my Nexus and install CM, can I get my phone back to stock and update Android to 4.4?
Yes. You can either flash the 4.4 images, or simply install a 4.4 based custom ROM (the more practical solution my opinion) since you will already have installed a custom recovery.

If I have CM installed, can I somehow get everything to stock. Like my Nexus 4 just came out of box?

I'm too lazy to backup & unroot & back to stock to get 1.7mb of OTA... Should I just ignore this one?
It seems to be trivial enough.. 1.7mb?

I just got 4.4.2 update download as well, didn't even receive the 4.4.1 notice yet. Won't install for now, will wait for Franco kernel to be updated as well as bionic/dalvik patches.

Haven't even gotten 4.4.1 yet, still on 4.4. What's the speed of this rolling out. I know it's based on serial numbers, but folks already getting 4.4.2 while some of us haven't even gotten 4.4.1.
Has anyone tried OTA Survival Mode yet with recent (1.55 and above if I am correct) SuperSu Pro? I read about succesful updates from 4.3 to 4.4 and 4.4 to 4.4.1 with our device while keeping root, but also about soft-bricked devices. Would make life easier if it works because I have stock recovery and wouldn't need to temporaryly adb load TWRP via Usb every time after OTA to reroot.

I never saw 4.4.1 but 4.4.2 is installing right now. First I was aware that there was a 4.4.2.
I got it OTA. No difference at all. Except the keyboard noise now sounds like a kids toy.
Edit: After using it a bit I think video performance is a lot better, seems more stable. And YouTube now works properly for me.
just got mine it was 58mb
(i didn't receive the 4.4.1 ota update)

OTA updates are always slow. If you want 4.4.2 now; download the image file and flash it via fastboot. Make sure to back up all your files to a computer.
