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.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
