[Q] Any reason not to install 4.3 jelly bean? - Nexus 7 (2013) General

Only reason i can think of not to install the update would be for rooting purposes - i will almost definitely want to root, probably sometime soon. But just got it and I'm playing around with it a bit before first.
Just wondering if there's any reason to hold off on applying the update?

So you have a '13 N7, that you are using AND has 4.2 on it!!!???

My bad - it does have 4.3 on it already. But when i click on the system update, it says and i quote:
"This software update will upgrade your nexus 7 to android 4.3 jelly bean..."
To me that certainly sounds like 4.3 isn't on there right now, even though when i check the system properties it is showing 4.3. I guess this is just a minor update, with some poorly chosen descriptive text.

That's because it is an update to the 4.3 already on the device. It contains bug fixes without adding anything major so that's why the version doesn't change. Go ahead and update; there's no downside.

Yea there are a few final updates you have to do when you pull it out of the box.

If you don't like the new maps it comes with it by default. You can always install a different version though.
Rooting is the same either way.

says who? because I just left the sprint store getting my phone replaced, and they said its OTA today for a small rollout. the manager who owns a nexus s who was shocked I had a defected Nexus already had the update, but had no comment since our areas internet was down
I copied that off of my dealer news page in my store
Well, since this is a Nexus, I thought Samsung was not a factor in our updates. If this is the case, its making my decision easier to stick with my EVO 3D and look past the SGS2.
I really like my NS4G, but the intermittent signal issues are not a factor on the EVO.
Guess I'll see what happens.

I also would like to know what your source was. Because this is a Nexus Google phone, the update comes directly from Google. Samsung has little to do with the update process.

Would radio updates be pure google? I didn't think so but I'm not positive.
CM7'd Nexus S 4G
Keep in mind that Sprint had a nationwide SMS failure today, so it could be that they needed to push everything back for maintenance.

Radio drivers are proprietary (thus not a part of the AOSP) and typically are developed and distributed by the hardware manufacturer (in this case Samsung).
But on the other hand they are typically bundled with OS software.
In this case, I would think Samsung would update their radio drivers, give them to Google, Google would build a new ROM and put together an OTA, then in the case of NS4G Sprint might even be involved in pushing it out, and their engineers were a tad busy today.
Yup there was a national outage today, updates have to wait unfortunately

He was just updated to the current version on his brand new phone, not the rumored upgrade. I doubt that we see anything new today.
Was anticipating the update but oh well. No other phone has a official, stable 2.3.4 yet and we're looking to be set to get 2.3.5 in a couple of days.
Just relax, chances were slim that you'd be among the first 5% anyways and converting the OTA in a useable zip/img w/e would ahve taken some time as well.

Sprint feed is urging stores to update the display model to the update. It's possible there will be devices seeing the upgrade today

I seriously seriously seriously doubt the Android Version is bumped. I'll eat my words if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty confident the update will not change the version to anything other than 2.3.4.

[Q] still no 4.2.2 update for me

Hey there,
quick question, as i'm new to this, since this is my first android phone. so i've heard that 4.2.2 was released about a week ago. now apparently this update comes in waves, meaning that not everyone will get it at the same time. now i've got two questions about it, since i still haven't received this update:
- is this normal that you have to wait so long to get an update that's already available to a lot of people? (don't wanna do the framework trick)
- what is the purpose of that? please don't tell me, google couldn't handle the traffic when some people want to download this tiny update at the same time? oO
i'm just asking because im starting to worry if there's something wrong with my phone that makes it unable to receive system updates. i don't need the update that bad.
Yes. Don't worry.
I have a n4 ,n7 and n10. Framework worked for me 1st time with all the devices. Its very easy. Why not just do it???

Because i've read that it messes up / resets settings of certain apps.
Worked fine for me.
Clearing Google services framework from the apps section definitely works.
I haven't gotten it either. Framework worked on N10 and gnex. I'm mainly not forcing it on N4 out of curiosity of how long it will take. Yes, I'm strange but not really needing update on N4. No reboots, no butter in the update, etc.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I haven't got it either. Is that related to the country or the batch of the phone you purchased?
Still havent got it either. I dont wanna force it with the framework data delete trick, the update is nothing interesting so id like to wait and see how long it would take to recieve the OTA.

No update for me either, but I don't mind it. Nothing major that I've read so far will force me to manually update my phone. If it doesn't come by Google I/O, then I'd worry, but by then KLP will probably be out.

They stagger the updates so their servers don't get overloaded with everyone trying to download the update at once. Microsoft does the same thing with Windows updates but they finish within a few days.
Canada here. My N7 took five days to get the OTA. It's been five days since the rollout began and still no OTA on my N4 yet.

[REF][GPE] HTC One Google Play Edition Stock OTA URLs

Hi Everyone,
As I do with many Nexus devices, I intend to maintain a thread here with links to all the stock OTA updates for the HTC One Google Play Edition. Each time there is an OTA update, its direct link on Google's servers will be posted here for reference and posterity. I also mirror these files at http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/htc-one/m7_google.
Any questions about flashing these OTA updates can be discussed and answered here as well.
You must have S-OFF on your bootloader in order to flash OTAs manually on a GPE One.

This space for sale, rent, or lease.
Considering that HTC has delivered the GPE KitKat update to Google for release, it's logical to expect it to begin rolling out this week or next. If anyone gets the OTA update, please get the filename of the OTA ZIP before applying it. You can find it in your /cache folder if you're rooted. If you're not rooted, the process is a bit more involved. PM me for details.
Thanks!

How to get the OTA URLs
The easiest way to get the OTA URLs is to search in the output of:
Code:
adb shell dumpsys dropbox --print event_log
On Linux this can be done with "grep":
Code:
adb shell dumpsys dropbox --print event_log | grep android.clients.google.com
This can be done even after the update.

I really am sad to this GPe stuff, the idea is great, but something always fails: if isn't a delay by HTC, it's a delay from Google and we stay watching damn Motorola getting updates...
I thought that it would come after N4 OTA (wich sucks but I can understand), now it seems like we are waiting for Samsung update, probably the delays are just Google marketing at work...
15 days is pretty good for deliverance but first time we prayed for 15 days, now we pray for 15 work days...
My opinion? We are not getting 4.4 update before December. Now I know why my previous phones were nexus and my next probably will be too...

The GPE updates aren't scheduled together. The HTC One GPE got JWR66Y almost a week before the GS4 did. Also, it appears there were some problems with those initial KitKat builds. I'm sure that has something to do with the delays. For me, 3 weeks after a full Nexus rollout is acceptable. A full Nexus rollout did not start until about 3 days ago. KRT16O only launched for N7 and N10 wifi models, and was quickly pulled. KRT16S started about 3 days ago and THAT is the one that is seeing rollout to the complete Nexus line. So, as far as I'm concerned, my 3 week counter began 3 days ago.

Official - the 4.X.X update - discussion thread

For when it happens, please use this thread to have your respectful discussion. Thanks all!
BIG NEWS...many users are asking to highlight this one post here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51447667&postcount=338 care of @Azrael.arach
This is for people that had the first problem of mobicore problem.
Warning::: THIS WORKED FOR ME BUT I CAN NOT SAY FOR EVERYONE. I AM NOT A DEVELOPER SO MY KNOWLEDGE IS VERY LIMITED!!!!
You need to download the update file from this thread. You will need to rename it to change the .cfg to .zip
Attached is a fix.zip that contains the files you need. You will need to be on a nb4 with root.
Extract zip files and copy them to your internal memory on phone.
Step 1 copy the mobicore-presetup.sh to /system/bin
Step 2 copy all the apk files to /system/app.
Step 3 For each apk you copied you need to set the rght persmissions. rw-r--r--
Step 4 Copy the update file that you renamed to external sdcard.
Step 5 Reboot into recovery by rebooting phone. As soon as screen goes blank from shutting down hold Volume Up + Home + Power. Once you see rebooting into recovery let go of only power button and wait.
Step 6 Once in recovery use the volume down button to highlight update from external storage and hit the power button.
Step 7 Use volume buttons to scroll down to update file and use power button to select it.
Step 8 Wait for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 9 You will be returned to recovery menu, scroll down using volume buttons to wipe cache and hit power button.
Step 10 Hit power button on reboot and wait.

The nexus is a developer phone. Many of us want the refined camera and eye candy and s pen, etc. I think stock Google is ugly. I like touchwiz and pan to try out Tizen if a device is ever released.

Agreed. Not now nor have ever been a fan of stock Android. I really don't understand the hype. When Android first hit the scene, I remember all the rave being about "ultimate customization" and "tons of features." Now, when I hear people always b*tching and moaning about why there's upset ALL Android phones don't come stock — it seems like the arguments is "I love the simplicity and 'cleaness' of it all."
I'm like, if I wanted watered-down and simple, I'd buy an iPhone and stick to iOS! That's the one positive thing I can say about iOS... it's polished and it generally works. However, it's very minimalist, not customizable, and lacks features. Why on Earth someone would want and Android phone to go as bare-boned as possible, makes no sense to me. I, too, find stock Android to be really ugly, IMO. I find nothing attractive about the look.
I want a phone full of customization and features, and that's what TouchWiz gives me. I have never had an issue with the TW versions found on the original Note and up. I really don't get all the hate but whatever. I am a TW fan and as long as it doesn't get super stale like HTC Sense did when I was diehard fan, I'm good to go!
If there is any more of a delay, my theory is that AT&T decided to wait for the 4.4 update from Samsung that restores third party S-View case functionality.
If you look at the timeline of when Samsung updated the Note 3 unlocked and international models, they pushed out the KitKat update, and then about a week or two later, announced a second update was in the works to fix the issue. As far as I know, that update hasn't been pushed to any device as of yet. This was about a month ago.
Plausible theory, I think. Either way, I'm in no rush. 4.3 NB4 working great for me, and after owning a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon before this, I'm not feeling the "root and ROM" itch just yet.
So, I woke up this morning to a failed AT&T update. Aka, My rooted rom, didn't match. Guess I got lucky it didn't brick overnight.

I won't mind waiting for lemon drop because I will already have a sour taste in my mouth after waiting for my gps to work.

Just bought a new 10 with 4.2.1 on it Should I update to KitKat?

I just got a new Nexus 10 at Walmart for $350 and was wondering if I should update to KitKat? I have seen several people complaining about it. Or should I just root and install a custom rom....although it seems like there aren't a lot of choices anymore. Do you have one that you would recommend also? Thanks
Well KitKat is really recommended over past versions : it does consumes less RAM and has overall better performance. Furthermore you can find a bunch of good ROMs around: Omni, slimkat, CM,..

I was hesitant also, bought mine about two weeks ago, and have had none of the issues on 4.4.2 that some reported on the first version of 4.4.

That's good to know. Updated to 4.3 but not 4.4 yet. Will probably go ahead and do it. Just curious where did you get yours?

When I first set up the tablet, it notified me of an update from 4.2 to 4.3. As soon add I updated, I received another notification that an update was ready for 4.2. I waited about a week, since I had read about some having problems with the initial rollout. I updated to the latest version once I decided that I was going to unlock and root my Nexus 10 (haven't loaded a custom ROM yet).
I received the both update via download (settings > about tablet > system update) . I received notification once I logged into my Google account.

My fault. I meant where did you buy your Nexus 10 and did you get a good deal?

OK. I guess the deal I got at Walmart wasn't too bad. I started to wait it out and see if they came down any lower. They have had four at $350 for a while and know one had touched them. Still going to keep an eye on the rest of them. Liking the 10 so far.
