Today Asus's Facebook page announced the exciting news that they just released a firmware upgrade to the popular Nexus 7 tablet, which they hope will fix common issues like "screen-lift" and dead pixels.
"要解决这个问题，我们感到非常兴奋," the Facebook page said. "我们发现的代码中的错误导致屏幕解除。"
The update will also fix other issues, including blown-out speakers, screen-streaks, and missing screws.
According to Asus, the screen-lift issue was due to a missing semicolon in the code. "这是一个非常尴尬的错误。," the Facebook page reads.
Hopefully this will appease the growing Nexus 7 fanbase, which has been upset by the many issues they have faced.
The multi-billion-dollar company also has another firmware update in the works. Sources predict that it will add more RAM to the device to compete with other high-end tablets.
Check back later for more information.
EDIT: we have confirmation coming in from XDA users.
"This is a super clever fix," slack04 explained. "It's just what we've been waiting for. Now will you give me a moment? I've lost my sense of humor and can't seem to find it."
"No thanks," said user jcjr81. "I'll pass on this update until others prove it works. What if it causes the screen to shrink, or something?"
Some are afraid Asus's fix could make the problem worse, as seen in the infamous Dell Inspiron case of 2008, in which a firmware update to stop batteries from exploding was successful, apart from the fact that the batteries began imploding instead.

Have you guys seen that water proofing treatment? You send your phone in and they use some kind of a vacuum chamber and chems to cost everything inside and out. The coating is wicked thin so you don't notice but not keeps your stuff water proof.

It just shows how much hype has been made of this phone . Makes me think Google is trying to get everyone crazy about this phone by having it sold out. I'm almost over it and just thinking of rooting my s3 with cm10 but then I look at the plastic and the hardware buttons and i say no ill wait for the n4 lol
I really wish Google would just let us pre order and not just wait for it to come stocked again on Google play .

Just because an update might be rolling out for one particular device it doesn't necessarily mean all the Nexus hardware will be getting said update, so keep that in mind.
I haven't seen any mention of 4.2.2 recently, guess it'll happen soon enough (unless some people are trolling Reddit which is pretty common these days as the site gets more popular every minute).

My thoughts exactly. Something like this takes away the guessing game of updates with these devices. They better not go away, because I love HTC phones.

Apple Jk In before Lawsuit from Apple
its Gonna be 4.5 Kitkat still or Lollipop or Lemon
Hopefully they won't do what they did with Jellybean and stretch the name over 3 major releases. If they change the name I think Lollipop would be good.
With the little partnership they started with KitKat last year, I'm sure the name will stay for a while.
Maybe we'll see a name change in 2015.

It'll be in November with the Nexus 5 (2014) and will be called LifeSavers.

My money is on LifeSavers. So much marketing/advertising they can do with that.

Android 5.0 Larry David - Google will partner with HBO to promote Season 9 of Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry's struggle to understand his Nexus 6 will result in all sorts of hilarity. Why is this phone so damn big???
Lard
I never thought of lifesavers that seems probable. I have a feeling Kit Kat won't last that long. Probably when Nexus 10 is announced it will get updated. Then the next update to android will probably have art as default and possibly SMS integration similar to icloud. To where you can send SMS using tablet, PC etc.
