Well isnt that just great.

OTA finally arrived, loving the new features! To get the best results with the photo sphere, try rotating around the camera and not the spot you're standing on. Should work better. New keyboard works great, finally have timer and stopwatch too.

Cool will try that. Do you know if you can customise the new pull-down quick controls area? At the moment I'm not seeing the point of it. If you click on the WiFi icon for example, it just takes you to WiFi controls i.e. it doesn't save you any time, it's the same number of presses. I thought it would be more like in Touchwiz, where it's actually a quick toggle button.

Had my GN on Orange update to 4.2 tonight.

The lockscreen options are great

I had to re-download Swiftkey3 though, but no biggie.


Tempted to factory reset the phone now as I've had it a year

You could try forcing the OTA by going to setup, apps, all.
Find Google Services Framework, clear data, force stop and restart phone.

Did the force close trick about half an hour ago and got it.

What does that mean?

Anyone had the new gmail app yet?

 

[_Jimlad_]

Anyone had the new gmail app yet?

nope not even on the nexus4.

im not sure why it was not in this version as promised

 

[BoomAM]

Its strange, a mate of mind has a stock OneX, he's had the gmail update!

 

[reflux]

If by latest you mean the one with pinch to zoom, you have to enable it in settings

"Auto-fit messages"

Don't know why it's not on by default!

Doh!

 

[Cosimo]

Doh!

I missed that one.

 

[BoomAM]

Anyone else noticed that the 4.2 update automatically uninstalls Swiftkey!?
I was going to remove it anyway, but its already gone!

 

[Iraklis F.C.]

installed the 4,2 update as well, not quite exciting imho. Phone feels slower esepcially when closing apps, opening the phone.apk and lockscreen widgets are horrible. I did have swiftkey and it wasnt unisntalled.

Looking forward to next update which will speed up the OS and eliminate thye bugs

PS. i do have the new gmail

I've noticed that too.
Just installed Nova launcher to test, seems a little quicker.

I wouldn't recommend this method!

Did it on my N7 and it stopped Google Play recognising my account. I could no longer download / upload apps. Couldn't figure out how to fix it so I did a full wipe.

Got it late last evening. Good update, a week after release.
