Landed on mine this morning. It's very nice.

The swipe keyboard works much better than I expected.

Multiuser switching is also fantastic. Makes sharing the tablet with the wife much easier.

Yeah, I got it yesterday as well. Lovely update. The new keyboard replaced Swype for me, just as I thought it couldn't get any better. It feels so ancient to use my iPhone now that I'm used to the Nexus 7... can't wait for N4 restock!

Unless you have installed some custom ROM or a different kernel you should still get the automatic update even if it's rooted.

I didn't get the update yet either on my non rooted Nexus7.

found this http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/13/3639462/galaxy-nexus-android-4-2-ota-download and updated successfully.

I bought my Nexus a week ago and love it! I've checked for updated daily including today and it doesn't find this update. I don't know why, are they limiting it to certain parts of the country or something?

Yep, I got the OTA yesterday evening. It's a nice update.

  • I love the lockscreen widgets - it's half baked now, but it has great potential. Can't wait to see third party apps on the lockscreen.
  • I also love the new clock - no more third party apps for stopwatch/timer, and love the clock design
  • I also love daydream - nice to have my clock displayed while the device is charging. Wish they sold docks like the HP Touchpad had. Come on ASUS/Samsung, use those freaking pogo pins!
  • Keyboard is nice - gesture swipes are nice to have. Personally I won't use it that much, as I wasn't really into Swype, but it's nice to have on the stock keyboard.
  • Haven't tried the camera, as the apps isn't available on the Nexus 7. Will try it on my Galaxy Nexus, once it hits CyanogenMod

Android is really evolving, even with minor updates.

Try this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modaco.cameralauncher#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLm1vZGFjby5jYW1lcmFsYXVuY2hlciJd

It restores the shortcut to activate the camera.

Cool, thanks. I installed it to the N7, unfortunately, I left it at home, so will check it later.

    • You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
    • The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
