***The Official LG Nexus 4 Thread***

Anyone got this yet? http://www.androidcentral.com/android-43-jwr66y-security-update-landing-some-nexus-phones

Don't think it's anything to get excited about though.

I just had an update, so I'm guessing it was this.

Not sure if it's just me but I am getting atrocious battery life since 4.3 - if I use the phone I am lucky to get a day.

Mine had been fine, but over the last week it's nose-dived, lasts about half a day. Usage hasn't changed really, if anything I've been using it less...
Screen and Android system taking up most of battery, but that's what normally does it.
Really wish I'd left both my Nexus devices on 4.2.2 now!

My battery is awful now on 4.3 I hope a fix is coming...

Came on here to ask for advice on battery life since 4.3 seems I'm not the only one having issues.

From 100% to 30% With 1hr 11m of screen on time.
Since the update and I'm not a heavy user by any means
I seem like I'm always looking for a charger.

Edit
Also having the signal issues and only way to resolve it is
A reboot.

 

[ANDARIAL]

Mine just had an up date rebooted itself into CWM then threw a wobbly about it being unsigned and would not install
Rebooted back in and no updates are showing

 

[Rusty!]

CWM had the same unsigned error message when I got the update last night. I just tapped install anyway and that was it.

You can get the update here: http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-occam-JWR66Y-from-JWR66V.6136cbe0.zip

 

[IrishChr1s]

Just got the 4% battery warning and I've not used it since my last post. Something seriously wrong with this update.

 

[Rusty!]

Install Better Battery Stats and see where your juice is going.

same is happening on my GS3 so it's app related.

Any cheers, thought it was the update but obviously note.

tried that still fails
no matter I am not having any of the problems some of the people here are having so will leave it alone i think

 

[Rusty!]

Get the factory image and just that, it can't go wrong.

Fastboot boot, fastboot system, job done.

 

[FredFlint]

Should the update change the build number? I have a custom recovery and running the update booted to that and ran a script. Then it asked me if it should repair root. I don’t think the build number has changed, it’s still JWR66V.

Think the OTA update did not work so I used fastboot.

 

[Simian]

Now on 66Y, all Updated and Rooted nicely!, plus I've updated CWM to the Touch version to make it easier next time!!

 

[ChrisD.]

What's the best custom ROM to try on a Nexus? Still the CM ones? Also how can I backup my phone as it is now fully so I can switch back easily?

 

[reflux]

Spent an hour yesterday trying to install the OTA on my Nexus 4, only to realise it wasn't working because of the battery percentage mod I'd flashed. Ended up having to flash the system.img and boot.img in Fastboot but it worked and now I'm on Y.

 

[shaffaaf27]

I would say xenonhd is the best Rom

Paranoid Android is still my choice!

Paranoid would have been my choice with the menu buttons, but cm now has those and personally I have had no issues with cm, love the Rom.
