Jelly Bean 4.2 will have Multiple User Accounts -- Privacy At Last!

From Google's press release / blog post today:
With Android 4.2, you can add multiple users and switch between them instantly right from the lockscreen. We believe that everyone should have quick and easy access to their own stuff -- email, apps, bookmarks, and more. That way, everyone can have their own home screens, their own music, and even their own high scores.

This will solve one of my greatest complaints -- my only complaint, actually -- about the Nexus-7. I have to go to lengths to be able to hand my tablet to anyone else to use while still protecting my privacy. It galls me that not only do I have to lock down the Gmail app before handing over my N7, I have to lock down Chrome too, because Chrome will either automatically log into my account when Chrome visits mail.google.com (aka gmail.com) or will offer to do so. Same for all other Google sites (e.g. Google+). I hate that. Once JB 4.2 is on my N7, that will no longer be a concern.

This is pretty nice; although I don't let anyone else really touch or use my Nexus 7

When would they start 4.2 OTA for N7?? Nov 13 or earlier?

This would be nice.
My nexus is used as a family tablet & i'm reluctant to add my google account.
I'd like all of the goodies from the store from my account but don't want my gmail on there as the wife would go mental if she looked through all of my reciepts!

Yeah any word on 4.2 update?

My kids will be excited the most! High scores and level progress is a hot topic around my house.
I do agree it will be nice to protect my gmail, gallery, and Facebook more easily.

Can you make other accounts limited users? As in, no you can uninstall half the apps I have installed. I launch a file manager and go snooping around other account directories.

I though the update was today... i immediately checked for updates on my device as soon as I saw 4.2

I would actually let other people use my tablet with this!

This is huge... We're beginning to roll out Nexus 7's in select areas of work (K-12 public school district) to students with special needs and/or classes who can benefit from these devices. It would be awesome to have multiple accounts, ESPECIALLY if we can lock it down. I'd love to hand the Nexus 7 out to elementary students knowing that the icons cannot be deleted, etc. Any word on the degree of limits, if any, you can assign other users?

Should be good, chromebooks do this well already , log in and have all your ****, themes, bookmarks, logins/ passwords, apps, Google drive etc all separate and personalised. Even downloads are in a user specified area, available to just that user. simple old idea, but effectively done.

I'm sure it'll have some sort of administrtive rights to it

I share my Nexus 7 with my daughter - and it is actually quite hard getting it away from her.
Separate log ins and sign on's will make everything a lot more convenient - except the physical part of getting it back...
Now she can have the screens the way she wants.

It available for the nexus 7 device ?

:good: and I even like it with 4.2!

I love mine too! 4.2 not so much until Devs catch up and we have Recoveries that play nice with it. It also broke ability to use USB storage devices with it. I got it from playstore when it came out. It arrived the 2nd day after. 1st thing was unlock and root. Ran stock 4.1.2 until I put on a custom 4.2 (plain vanilla )rom. I previously had Galaxy Tab 7.0+. Very expensive and I thought I was getting the best. It was OK, but my 32Gb N7 beats it six ways from Sunday in smoothness, reliability. Also the GT7 had a proprietary charge and data port/cable. It was USB but you needed a converter cable for lots of stuff. The N7 is great out of the box but awesome!! when unlocked, rooted and rom'ed. Everything just seems to work better. Movies, music, email, calendar, notes, to do's games, You name it. Now if I could just make calls on it...oh, wait, with Google (Voice?) you can I am told!
Problem with 4.2 is it messed up the sd card file partitions so that I can no longer make Nandroid back-ups. I sure it will be fixed in a few days. Meanwhile, I am enjoying the crap out of this thing.

Loved it since I bought it. Eyeing the N73G for the holidays, then the Mrs. Gets the 16.

Loving my nexus 7 as well. As a apple fanboy the nexus really has impressed me. The only thing I don't love about the nexus (android problem i guess) is that none of the browsers can compare to the Safari-browser found in the ios echo system. Sluggish scrolling, accidently clicking links when scrolling never happens to me on my ipad or iphone. Google, tweak the chrome-browser and my apple fanboy days might be over.

Amazon Tablet App

Hello, if you haven't heard, Amazon finally came out with a tablet version of their store app. Unfortunately, nexus 7 is the only compatible device right now.
Could someone throw up the apk on drop box so others, such as those of us with the nexus 10, could download?

Trust me, I have searched for almost an hour. Everyone, including android police where I originally found out about this app, just links to the play store, where it says not compatible. Also, I don't want to download from some sketchy website that will likely include some malware along with my desired apk.
I'm sorry if it came across as rude, it wasn't my intention. I was just surprised that no one had posted it yet.

Nexus 4 Dutch thread

Hey guys, this is a general thread for Dutch N4 users to discuss N4 related stuff. Like where you got the phone and what revision and production date/location it is, xperiences with network operators and data plans, any issues and anything else like what rom/kernel you use and anything else you want to discuss/share. Enjoy (your phone)

I went to the UK last friday and thought by myself, since i'm here, why not buy a Nexus 4? So I did, came home, wanted to boot this thing up and it didn't boot at all, the only thing it did was a red flashing light.. So, I plugged it in my computer to charge.., after a full night connected, still nothing, it didn't charge at all. And since the wallcharger from UK isn't compatibel in Europe I couldn't charge it with my wall charger.
Well, maybe the xda guys can help me with this problem,, so I made a new thread. It didn't took long untill I got response, someone said to charge it with the wall charger, but that wasn't possible obv.. But, ohh wait, maybe I can find a converter. So I went to Mediamarkt and there I bought this converter, went back home and tried it. The red light started to flash again. Thought by myself, ohh noooo, not again... Then I pressed power + volume down and suddenly it came to life. In bootloader I selected "power off" and it started charging, finally! And now it's running the latest SaberMOD without any problems and fully charged :laugh:
The version I got is the 212K rev.11, cpu binning is Fast. No strange things on the phone, everything looks perfect. The only thing is the rattle from the camera, but it's only noticeable when you shake the phone, but i'm not worrying to much since almost all my phones had this (issue?).

I had to rma mine got it from the uk. I now have a 303k

Got mine last week. From Ibood. I wanted to drive to Germany to buy one, but i'd rather have Dutch warranty than the German one. Don't want to drive 2 hours for a repair.
Also got a 303k model. I came from a Nokia N900 so the difference is huge. I immediately rooted an unlocked the bootloader. Installed Paranoid Android today and the Trinity Kernel. Doesn't feel like a huge difference compared to the stock ROM/Kernel but has some cool extra's to make my classmates jealous.

Dutch
Why aren't we talking Dutch in the Dutch thread xd haha

Tried that once and got a warning for it.
I bought mine from the mediamarkt in Germany. Very easy, they just sent it to me. And you get mediamarkt warranty. Ralf is an hero! Its now officially available here, so warranty issues can be solved by LG itself.

I got mine from Belsimpel. Their customer service is great, they sent me a replacement charger within a day. Also I tried to register my decive on LGE's Dutch site, unfortunately the Nexus 4 is not stated there. I hope we can rely directly on LGE rather then third parties.
Swiped from my Mako #NexusSwag

Got mine a couple of weeks ago from the Saturn in Kleve.
Put some gadgetsschield protectors over the front and back.
It dident do much good, cause the back cracked after a week.
Today i received the carbon skin from dbrand and it covers the back nicely.
Im running PA with the trinity kernel.

Got mine about 4 months ago from someone who bought it in Germany and was wanting to sell it afterwards. It was only a 15 min drive so I considered myself very lucky . Coming from a Galaxy Ace truely made it an astonishing experience and I'm still enjoying every second using my phone. It's a rev 11 with slight speaker crackling, good battery life, but the Whatsapp delay is driving me nuts.

4.3 leaked/in testing Galaxy S4

Seems as Nexus owners we're not the first to get the update this time. It could turn out to be an elaborate fake but probably genuine as Google are an experimenting company and have released two flagship devices with a vanilla Android option (although they're not "nexus"). From what I've read there doesn't appear to be any big changes (if any actually visible) and more fixes/optimisations.

Cool, I'm another few months away from a handset upgrade and so it definitely makes these phones an even better proposition, having access to stock android goodness. Was impressed seeing how quickly someone had put a vanilla 4.2.2 ROM together for the HTC One, then seen this and was very surprised.
Its good to see really as it shows that Google and the handset makers are finally getting why people like android so much and that is the option of choice and customisation. It may not be the exact reason for doing so but they must be conscious of it. As the last I/O conference showed, it was very developer orientated
