be careful of the 4.3 update for your Nexus 4 / 7

movingtables · 10 Aug 2013 at 21:23

can only view my tablet in portrait mode now.
auto rotate is selected.
tried a hard factory reset but no good.
there are reports of other people ( google ) having the same issue after
4.3 update.

All I hear about 4.3 is bad stuff. I think I'm gonna hold off on updating for a few months to see if these bugs get fixed first.

my signal is worse on my Nexus4, lots of other issues people have.

Batt life stinks now. When I am at work I use it browse internet on my 2 15min breaks and my lunch hour. When I woke up it was fully charged and when I went to bed its around 50% maybe 60%.

NOW, still using it the same way its, down to 10%-12% and last night it died.. I have no idea what is causing this.

I took the 4.3 upgrade on my Nexus 7 and have had no problems at all. I wonder why there's such a variation in behaviour from sample to sample... :confused:

updated my Nexus4 no problems I am aware of,all seems to be fine (not noticed better or worse battery life of signal here)

I've read for the 4, some users are reporting it bricks their phone. 10 seems fine looking on XDA.

Nexus 4 here perfect on 4.3

Perfect on my Nexus 7.

Not sure if anyone else has figured it out. But for those having issues with their Android OS (whether it's still 4.2.2 or 4.3) whereby it is not updating certain apps correctly. Here's what I did to fix mine:

1. Go into the Apps Manager and clear the cache/data for each app that brings up an error when updating

2. Go back into the Play Store and instead of doing *Update All*. Update each app individually.

If in the case the app you are updating is a launcher, I would recommend backing up any data first. I made the mistake of not doing this myself and had to get everything back the way it was.

I've noticed auto-rotate has become ******* useless on my Nexus 7 since the 4.3 update. It'll happily move onto landscape mode, but is a pain in the rear to get back to portrait.
Was going to try a factory reset but seems this won't do much. Will just have to wait for the next system update I guess, which will hopefully be soon. Google dropped the ball with 4.3

Working prefect on my nexus 7!

Infidelus · 11 Aug 2013 at 14:49

Both 4 & 7 seem to be working fine here.

Attu90 · 11 Aug 2013 at 21:07

Both my Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus are working fine with 4.3

Rimsy · 12 Aug 2013 at 00:00

my 7 and the girlies 4 both running 4.3 fine. only thing I cant really compare is battery usage but my 7 certainly feels smoother in operation.

Simian · 12 Aug 2013 at 07:09

Both 4 and 7 working no problems!

Nex4 - Battery life is slightly better, No signal Problems
Nex7 - Feels a little more responsive/snappier, Auto Rotate works no probs.

Our Nexus 7/10 and Galaxy Nexus are working fine.

mark43 · 12 Aug 2013 at 09:57

Not had any issues with my Nexus 4 following the update, if anything the battery life seems better.

4.3 is great on my GNexus (stock launcher). I recommend a factory reset to those who have recently installed it.
