Just got my 4.1.2 OTA notfication. Clicked on it and it rebooted to a dead android on his back with a red exclamation mark above him.

No buttons worked so i pulled the battery and when I plugged it back in it booted back to 4.1.1 and told me no updates are available.

Have you got a custom bootloader? This is usually the cause.

4.1.2 on it now.

So whats new in 4.1.2, yes if feels a bit smoother but thats about it, I wish they had made the home screen rotate like the Nexus 7 now does.

The OTA wasn't showing for me so I sideloaded it using ADB.

did you download the img from google? I just un-rooted and installed 4.1.1 so i could get the update but I dont have wifi so i might have to get the img and use fastboot.

i grabbed the img from google and wiped, i needed to wipe anyway as had been playing to much with root stuff

just downloaded the update from the google site, booted CWM and flashed it.

I did a nandroid first, i havent done one for ages as i didnt flash recovery, i just boot it when i need it.

Damn. I forgot about that. I was impatient for the 4.1 upgrade and manually flashed it. I think I installed CWM when i did it.

anyone noticed anything new, seems a minor update in terms of new stuff,

 

[spaceman]

it was probably just bug fixes as it was a minor update, i havent noticed any difference to 4.1.1 yet.

There is no longer that annoying "feature" of converting SMS that were longer than four messages into MMS.

don't think i have ever had that anyway, i would say it feels a bit smoother, but that might be because i did a clean install

I got 4.1.2 with a ROM on XDA. It's so, so smooth... feels even better than original 4.1. Other than that, not a whole lot different. Being able to expand notifications with one finger is nice though.

Do we know yet how long it will be before users receive an official OTA update to 4.1.2?

I am in the U.K. on Vodafone, if that makes any difference, but it does look from earlier posts as if some folk might have received it already!

 

[PlumpMonkey]

Yes, mine was an official OTA whilst on O2.

Turns out the reason for the patch failure was because i had previously modified the build.prop file whilst trying to increase the volume issue. I put it back to the backed up original file and sideloaded the patch and it applied fine.
