Android 4.2 Plagues by Major Bugs and Issues


Recommended Posts

I'm using the AOKP rom so they'll probably just straight up skip 4.2 and wait for 4.2.1 (if they don't just straight up fix those bug themselves anyway :p)

so yeah, hopefully i won't have to deal with those bugs as they sound rather annoying

4.2 feels too different to be a x.1 release. I prefered 4.1, simplier than 4.2

How was 4.1 simpler than 4.2? Nothing has been made more difficult for me when I made the jump to 4.2.

Other than the screen flickering when switching between videos I'm not seeing any other bugs; even the "December" bug.

I dont like that the screen options and the notification center are in two different panels now. I liked it when everything was in the same pragmatic place. I dont like the new lock screen. The first time I saw it I thought it was stuck on edit mode.

Just to say I have 4.2 and my nexus 7 went into the reboot cycle of death when the battery was drained completely.

It boots after a few seconds of plugging in power (via mains not usb) and when it gets to the slide to unlock the battery warning appears saying shutting down and then the display goes nuts and after 20 secs the cycle starts over again.

Will let you know if I get it resurrected.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
