a NEW 4.2 version? OTA Updates suck

I rec'd my Nexus 7 Tab a couple of weeks ago. Immediately there was a flurry of updates landing me at 4.2. Today I rec'd notice there a new update had been downloaded and was ready to install! The new version? 4.2.
After reading some of the woes others have experienced with 4.2, I'm wondering if I have a "different" version of 4.2 (that works just fine.)
The constant stream of OTA updates is a pain in the arse. Can we get on a 3 month release cycle?

December bug fix they had to release before December started hence the update, it isnt usually that frequent.

Sign up with Verizon. You will be lucky to ever get another Android update.
Is this a serious thread? You're actually complaining about updates?
You do realise that these updates improve your device (new features & bugfixes). Are they really that much of an inconvenience for you?
10 whole minutes of downtime. The horror!
Yeah buy any android device that doesn't have "nexus" in the name and you won't have to worry about android updates anymore...

[Q] Installing emoji non rooted device

I recently upgraded to 195 sacraficing root as I didnt see a need for it really and love the Sony full stock experienced however I have now found I lost the emoji mod I had installed on it. I feel slightly extreme going through the root process for a locked bootloader for this small mod and was wondering if there was a way to get this on my device. The little boxes I get on Twitter and instagram along with the texts from my girlfriends iPhone are a bit annoying now I was used to seeng them translated. It is not a big issue I was just wondering if the is something to the me over to the jelly bean update in February.
Thanks

You don't need Jelly bean or rooted phone to write with emoij on your new device, just download free MulitLanguage keyboard from play Market and start typing. But to enable "viewing" on Twitter or Instagram of the small cute black and white things (aka emoij), then you need rooted phone (I can give you link for emoij codex on ICS) or wait for Jelly Bean firmware update later this year or early next year, -Im sorry!

[REPORT][BUGS]Nexus7 4.3/4.4 relats

hello xda members
i'll report bugs on nexus 7 (2012-tegra) upgrades 4.3 and 4.4
i dont found this reports on web i dont know if its is geral or only with me... on 4.2.2 i dont have this problems
render images on nexus 7 has artefacts on screen
I have noticed graphical artefacts as well, can reproduce them every time I change from one user to some other user in multi user mode.
You have white pixels scattered over the screen then. When you leave the unlock screen everything is OK.
I don't understand why QA/bug testing hasn't seen this... I'm on stock 4.4 ROM after OTA and it was one of the first impressions I got...
on new build KRT16S the problems is the same
google no fix it... and i belive, google no fix it never
the problem on 4.3 and 4.4 krt16o and krt16s on nexus 7 original (2012)

What kind of problems can an upgrade to lolipop cause?

Hey Guys
I have a rooted moto x on android 4.4.4 and recently motorola released the android 5.1 OTA update for my device.
So i was just wondering if i should upgrade or not, or if there are any known problems because my friend with a nexus 5 upgraded to lolipop quickly and it was a disaster.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Pros and cons of lolipop (IMHO)
Pros:
1) New moto voice (you can set your own launch phrase)
2) Marginal lag reduction
Cons:
1) Mobile standby battery consumption is off the charts in all lollipop builds (No solution in sight yet)
2) Wave to wake on active display is disabled , can't get it to work without tasker (yes it was available in 4.4.4, although not advertised)
3) Internal space consumption is higher due to ART implementation
4) If you're an Xposed fan, the builds for Xposed right now are in the Alpha build stage .
5) Can't revert to 4.4.4 stock without chance of permanent bricking
Hope it helps

Hello. I actually searching for help with my phone and found this forum. I have the older moto x xt1058 (factory just the way it comes) it updated 4 days ago and I have already ordered a new phone diff brand. The phone is a complete different thing now.
Some of the issues include Bluetooth and wifi won't work if both on at same time, wifi connection is random, lots of lag time, turned off then back on a few times, drains battery like Super crazy crazy, and then I didn't like the changes in the way things look...like text messaging changed size and font, the keyboards changed ect.
Hopefully my phone is a fluke and other folks do much better.
Good luck to you and have a great day

What is taking Samsung so long to update to LP 5.1.1 ?

I heard that LP 5.1.1 is the most stable. We are stuck in 5.0.2 on Note 4. So is my Tab S. So is my Alpha phone. All at 5.0.2
Why is Samsung so slow? I think they might have abandoned us.
Samsung screw up on Note 5 and all the updates are slow.
Its a bad company.
It's not Samsung. They updated. The update is now with US carriers. They are holding it up. Sprint, I believe, already pushed the 5.1.1 update to their phones a couple weeks ago.

I heard from an a distant uncles girlfriend, second cousins best friends brother we should be getting it very soon.
There are a few 5.1.1 custom roms available. But if you are not rooted or you need T-Mobile features, you'll have to wait for T-Mobile to push the update.
Best decision I ever made was to install a custom rom. I currently have 5.1.1 and do not have to deal with the ever slowing TouchWiz. After StageFright was announce the very next day the developer of the rom i'm currently using patched it up, the only downside is I did have to sacrifice Wi-Fi calling but soon enough Android M will come out and that will fix it.
geez cant you wait, you see the C is getting the update, and then you make unnecessary threads about the update, just be patient..
if you cant wait, ill buy your note 4 for 200$ :victory:

Been using PopRocks v10x and it is amazing, fast and stable. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...procks-rom-v1-tw-rom-bases-tmo-stock-t3096286 ). Now if you want to try 5.1.1 there are many choices to choose from and can recommend them all.
Just me, but I think Samsung is in no hurry to push it 5.1.1. I guess there mentality is if they (note 4)users want 5.1.1, buy a note 5, which for me it ain't happening.
My note 4 came with 5.1.1. There should be a few customs floating around, such as TekXodus.
Samsung and the note 5 is very disappointed. I will stay on Note 4
FUN FACT:
Tmobile already has 5.1.1 and it is installed on Note 4s with the SM-N910T3. You can buy it in the store right now or warranty your phone and get it. Both of those options will be faster than waiting for the carrier to release it.
Tmobile gets a thumb down for this move. Uncarry that update Uncarrier.
5.1.1 makes this phone fly i got the sprint version . Battery life gets alot better to and fixes all the bugs. Hope you guys get it soon or start porting it from the sprint version. We have a s6 edge + rom with note 5 extras running 5.1.1 and it makes the phone feel like a new phone working theme store and all
