4.2 now on:

If your developer options have disappeared with the 4.2 update then:

Go to settings, about phone and keep tapping build number.
 
Stock clock has changed too. Any way to get more info on lock screen? I've got Clock, Calendar and Gmail choices.

Daydream is quite cool though.
 
According to an email I received this morning from Google "The Nexus 7 32GB + Mobile Data is now available for just £239* on Google Play."

Presumable this also ties in with the release of the 4.2 update!
 
After failing miserably to buy a Nexus 4, suddenly thinking about keeping old phone for calls and adding Nexus 7 with 3G.

Most my use is at home or work - diaries, astrid, internet.

So trying to weigh up whether the smaller unit convenience, carry in pocket at all times and camera benefits outweigh the increased screen of the 7.

Anyone use it out and about as their main device?

I don't have a Nexus 7 but I do have a Note 2 on jelly bean and Sky Go doesn't work on JB at all yet.

Its shocking from Sky tbh. They are consistently 1 or 2 versions behind what is current :(. I was hoping it was just a Play store restriction and you could side load it, but seems not :(

Why oh why is Iplayer so awful on Android, it really does ruin the experience for me.

Main reason I ended up getting an iPad mini for the GF - she likes to download shows from there for her commute to work.

No chance of that happening on Android anytime soon so had to stump up the extra.

Just use normal launcher for now or Nova (have tested and it works ok).

I've put 4.2 on my Nexus 7. While it has indeed killed Apex for now, I am just using the default launcher. It now has the ability to resize widgets (tho not all of them might I add). The Daydream feature is just awesome tho. I can see myself having plenty fun with that :D

Overall, it does feel a little sluggish in places, but I am sure as time goes on and more and more updates for certain apps appear, all should be fine :)
 
So, whilst playing about with Daydream, I noticed a new entry in the list of options to use for said feature. It seems Jelly Bean is not as sweet and innocent as we thought :eek:

Quite enjoying 4.2 at the mo.
Always nice to tinker with something new.

But I only get the option for 3 widgets on my lock screen. Clock, calendar and email.
Does anyone else see more or how do I get more ??
