[Q] 4.4.1...WHY ME NO GET? :o - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
I've been seeing everybody around me getting this update to 4.4.1, and it looks like I don't have it yet...I'm on stock everything, and unrooted.
Is this update location specific?

OTA is always slow. Many people just grab the image from Google site and flash it.

Patience. You'll get it eventually.

Sideload 4.4.1
I sideloaded 4.4.1 using adb... simple steps... and i reckon its safe... Saved me the trouble of hitting the system update button over and over again...

Ah....I see now. Thanks so much for enlightening me. I'll wait until I get home to sideload, as I'm @ work right now.

Google puts an ID for each devices. And if you see someone got OTA, that isn't mean you'll be getting at the same time... Think like a big pool. A very big pool. An empty pool. Then try to fill it up with water... It takes time right?
Google has priorities about this (developer devices gets first) . It takes like 2/2,5 weeks to fill the pool First day %1 of it, second day %2,5 then third day %10 so and so...
Have a good day

Nope just was in system updates this morning. Very happy for those that own one since this is considered a "dead" device. I started doubting the recent purchase of it for my wife but now that she has it, the battery life will be greater with the extended battery and she'll have the newest software. I may troll around here just to keep the forum moving.
nothing new here. I thought GB was only getting pushed for DroidX this week

Don't quote me on this but I don't think that it will automatically install by itself. I manually installed it on my wife's phone. Not sure about the system apps.

System Update 4.010.07

Is there anyone that knows about this update. I was doing my homework, and then it just popped up. Im normally not one who updates, I usually update right before the next update is released. But i know the Honeycomb is still buggy so i would be willing to update.
System Update 4.010.07 (128.61 MB)
I even looked on here first, but didnt see anyone else with it.
Maybe its a region thing. If so im in New Orleans,La if that helps.

This is a worthwhile update.its a firmware and Google is.and will add some function and address some of the known issues but yes it could bring other issues.I am in Kentucky when its pushed to me I will update.
ok, thats what I dont understand. My tab is already running 3.1.0.
i had my tablet from launch, 2weeks later i got an OTA update, that took my root away, and have been unable to get it rooted since. now im being told that this is the 3.1, but i am already running?????

Are you sure its not 3.0.1? Look in settings about.

Still not received 4.2.1 update

Hi all, just a quick question relating to the 4.2.1 update. I still haven't received the update on my completely stock nexus 4. I'm in the UK but I am aware of others in the UK too who have already got the update. Just wondered if there is any reason for this? I know I can update manually but would rather get the update OTA
Thanks in advance
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
US. Nothing as well. Since this update doesn't really adds to anything important for me so I'm not upset.
I live in the United States and haven't gotten it either. This is usually a slow rollout process regardless. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Yeah I'm not too bothered, just intrigued whether there is something wrong with my device or some sort of setting different? If it was a big update I would be a bit annoyed by now!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I was on the same boat as you all.
In order to get the update go to app settings and clear data for "Google Services Framework", and try to find update again.
Worked for me.
That worked thank you, just need to wait to connect to WiFi now!

When will the 4.2.2 update come over the air from Google?

I still haven't gotten an update even though I've been clicking "check now." Has anyone gotten the update over the air yet? I'm stock unrooted btw.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Yes they are currently being drip fed via OTA from Google. You either have to wait your turn, or manually install it.
It happens when it happens, be patient. I rarely ever wait for OTA updates and just get them manually, I've already installed and reinstalled this 4.2.2 like 5 times now on my N7 without issues.

Well, considering what I have installed was downloaded from Google's website I would say "Yep, it most certainly is."
It's the same exact file - someone that got the actual OTA update went back and looked at the log file made during the update and pulled the URL the actual archive came from (and the filename, obviously) and that is the file that a lot of us have manually installed.
So yes, it's exactly the same file.
In time we'll see a full 4.2.2 factory image and when that appears I'll most likely redo my N7 with that just because that's the kind of stuff I do sometimes.

4.1.2 to 4.2.2 - is it worth it?
Hi Forum friends.
I live in New Delhi, India & got my N7 from the US in Jan.
It came with 4.1.2; very soon it d/l the 4.2.1 OTA update & till now I've fobbed off the nagging reminders to install it, seeing all the issues that came with the update.
This morning when I turned the N7 on, I got the notification that the 4.2.2 update had been d/l & was prompted to install it.
My N7 is as it came - stock, unrooted- I understand being the lingo of the gurus in this area.
I am an old guy with no ambition to modify my N7; I just want to use it for what gives me pleasure- read/watch/acquire knowledge/communicate etc.
The only mod, if you can call it that, has been to d/l the NMI & watch movies off a pen drive, w/o going thru the bother of loading/deleting stuff via the USB cable; while on the subject, can anyone enlighten me why MX player won't read the srt file off the OTG/pendrive when it can do so when I transfer the folder containing the movie+ the srt file onto the tab via the usb cable? TIA
Qn - Am I better off with 4.1.2 or will 4.2.2 bring improvements w/o bestowing problems like 4.2.1 did - or is it too early to tell?
TIA & A Very Good Day to all.
Finally got the update over the air. I don't see much of as difference.

Hi, lucky you! I'm still waiting for 4.2.2 OTA.
Actually I've got zero problem with 4.2.1 so far and therefore can't comment on the issues people tell of. So 4.2.1 is for me perfectly fine. However just because there is an update I can't stop thinking when does it come to my device

I think almost all of the people are already on 4.2.2. If you can't wait, just sideload the update.
Why is that the downloadable updater's files are dated May 3, 2012? The same was true of the last update. Why wouldn't Google let the timestamps be whatever they were when they were went gold or were last updated? It's disconcerting to update with files dated 10 months ago for a brand new release.

I think the time stamp refers to JB in general and since 4.2.2 is still JB the stamp hasn't changed and will probly change when KLP is released, but this is only my theory.

I've been checking for updates on my Nexus 10 for the last 24 hours but it keeps saying my system is updated even if im still on 4.2.2.
I'm on rooted stock with locked bootloader. do i need to fully unroot it to get the update? How to do that?

No need to unroot. You'll get the OTA even when rooted. It just doesn't seem like anyone has actually gotten the OTA yet. Keep checking your tablet, but you're probably better off checking here for someone to post the download link once they get it.

You know that you can flash a factory download without losing data, right? Android Police did a writeup if you want the full details, but the short and sweet version is download the .tar, extract the contents, and then just run fastboot flash boot boot.img, reboot, fastboot flash system system.img, and you're basically done.

Even if they did, it's not a guaranteed thing. The clear Google Framework and CHECKIN phone codes are just ways to possibly bump up your chances. If you want the update badly, you can flash the factory images from the developer page. If you take care and don't use the flash-all script, then you can keep data in the process.

Argh, I am getting really inpatient.
I am in Los Angeles, California and no OTA update for me.
It seems like the East Coast are starting to get it - so perhaps over the weekend it will come to CA.
I have yet to hear anyone in California getting it yet - though please correct me if I am wrong.
I was thinking of doing the Google Services Framework thing, but I have been reading online that it can mess up your Google account doing that.
