Remember the rumor saying that there would be a Google Now and Camera update today? Well I was skeptical but it looks like the Google Now did get an update and its pretty spot on with the rumors. New cards and it talks back to you!
Sadly, no sign of this supposed camera fix just yet

Google + auto-updated on my Nexus 7 (2012) and Nexus 5 yesterday (it's a 27MB download - available via Play Store now) - it described photo enhancements, etc.
SU updated - running on the rooted Nexus 5 stock rom.
Now, KitKat rolling out OTA to Nexus 7 (WiFi model only - 2012 and 2013's) and Nexus 10's - yay, woo hooo !
Yes, Google Search has received an update.

Couple articles are reporting that the N4 is getting an update and now being shipped with 4.2.2. Still no change log reported. Anyone have the details on when and what we will get in 4.2.2 on the nexus 7?

I just bought and returned the Nyko Playpad because it couldn't connect to the Nexus 7. I searched online and it was a known issue since last year. I read in a Nyko tweet that it was due to the JellyBean update and Google is well aware of it, so yeah there could be something to this, since this Nvidia Tegra contoller has been needing a fix since the last update of it's Nyko Playground app last October.
I know while surfing Google currents Engadget and I think android police had the articles.

If there's one single thing they needed to address, it was the broke-ass bluetooth.

That build number is fake. Unless it is a typo...because build numbers have always been 3 letters, 2 numbers, 1 letter: IMM76L, JRO03C, JOP40D, etc.

Yes, you can expect a letter after the 66.. whether it is fake remains to be seen. Just passing on what information I have seen about it so far over in the N10 forum.

Looks like Android 4.2.2 build JDP66 is out there & likely will be hitting Nexus 10 devices shortly as it is already rolling out to a few Nexus 4 users.

Let's hope so. Bluetooth issues on a tablet are a problem, but on a phone they'd be a deal killer.

My 15 mos. old rooted HTC DI2 running ICS have no issues with Bluetooth, including Skype (soon to replace MSN Messenger, arrrrhhhh) and Google Voice or GrooVe IP when calling, crystal clear. N7 running 4.1.2 on rooted stock rom & kernel is fine, Bluetooth is fine but "playing" now with 4.2.1 - BT is a P I T A - no matter how I try to tweak it, whether I'm using the Jabra or 1 of the 2 Moto headset.
Benchmark-wise, not that I am chasing for a high Quadrant score as the CPU/device is plentiful fast for my purposes without OC/UV - 4.1.2 has clearly the upper hand, whether it's stock rom & kernel or custom rom/factory kernl or stock rom/custom kernel.
Fortunately, Stickmount is working on 4.1.2 with my choice of roms at the moment, MoDaCo's Jr13 with franco - and, it's a "messy" one with the sdcard directory layout for the recovery whereas with 4.1.2 - everything on it is easily accessible for backup & restoring with CWM.
Just my 2 cents, as a disclaimer - YMMV - of course.
Some rumours here about the Nexus 4 shipping with 4.2.2 http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/google-nexus-4-spotted-running-android-4-2-2-jelly-bean-50010145/ So hopefully its not that far off for the N7.

So I remember when 4.3 hit there were all manner of little random quirks with various apps not being compatible and little things not working right. It took about a month for most major apps like MX Player, Lightflow, some others to get ironed out after it released. Also took a couple days to make rooting easy and stable. With us having to wait on *Official* Kit Kat by the time it comes out most the apps will be ready. Several of my apps have been updated recently and I've noticed 4.4 compatibility in the change log. So I guess I don't mind waiting a couple weeks. Although it still doesn't help me really understand why....

Yeah well I need to at least be able to say I lived through one ACTUAL OTA update.. Lol. I would like to see it before too long. Once Nexus 5's get out there more mainstream and Google sees everything going well I would say 2-3 weeks. I think they'll start rolling it out. Probably have it by Christmas..

The look of the new launcher will also be possible with 3rd party launchers once they've been updated, since now Android supports transparent menu and status bars out of the box. Also, I think with those launchers we won't have this hideous gradient.
Okay, so this happened: Android Police: Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 OTA

Yay! I have my Nexus 4 rooted and have the bootloader unlocked running stock ROM 4.3 (JWR66Y) with TWRP recovery flashed and LTE enabler flashed. What is the easiest way for me to update to 4.4? (either through OTA or flashing the 4.4 ROM/update)

OTA Updates won't do you no good, even if you receive a notification with rooted stock, it'll most likely fail.
Either flash back to bone stock (no root, no custom recovery) and hope you get it soon, or wait until someone gets the N4 OTA, rips out the new binaries and compiles a new ROM with them from scratch, which you then can flash via CWM/TWRP.
Personally, I choose the latter. Also, do read the article in the link, it explicitly states that only the N7 and N10 have their OTA's rolling out so far, the time specified for our device is still "soon".

for me 4.4 will be the 1st stock that will not use, GEL is one of the best features from 4.4(looks like from N5) so the 4.4 update will be just to get custom 4.4 roms less glitched / more optimized
Tomorrow is November 13. Didn't I hear there was a Google Search update coming on November 13th. Since GEL is pretty much powered by Google Search, I am guessing GEL can get on devices tomorrow. Just a guess. If it is true, I win a cookie.

I miss JBQ.. The OTA is being pushed to those devices, yet there are no factory images for those devices.. Such a backwards rollout.. These things are supposed to go hand in hand.

How long do you think before Google drops support for it and we get no more updates?
Even if they do drop support for it that's what places like this are for. I'm still rocking a 5 year old phone. Granted it might not be as fancy as the newer models out there. With custom ROMs produced by the fine people of this site it's still up to date as far as what OS it can run.
i think probably soon. htc one X with tegra 3 has dropped support saying nividia did not provide the driver. I reckon for the next update, google will probably say the same thing. Just like how they stop updating galaxy nexus with the same reason
They want you to buy newer models so updates will stop on any device.

Agreed....best thing I ever bought. Totally worth the money and when it comes to support.....I'm still using a 2011 HTC rezound running kit kat thanks to the developers on here. Our nexus 7 (2012) will get updates thanks to developers for quite a while still.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
As you know Kitkat is not compatible with Galaxy Nexus, a 2011 device...
I still think that new version of Android will be compatible with Nexus 2012 (I have one so I hope so too), but probably that was the last officialy version released for this device.
It could change if they sell a new Nexus 7 this year. If they do so... I think that they will drop Nexus 2012 support this year...
The official GNex was dropped not because of the device itself (KK runs fine on my gf's GNex), but because the SoC's manufacturer (Texas Instruments) closed its SoC division and so they stopped updating the drivers and Google wants updated drivers in every new releases.

As an owner of a previous Tegra device (g2x) I'm pretty aware of the vendor's level of support: None. Basically, once Google is done with it, nVidia will be done as well. So I wouldn't count on upgrades going on forever like we're used to with Qualcomm devices. Still, I'm getting one cheap as a backup for my N7 2013 LTE (which is in the process of getting a new screen leaving me tablet-less for now... ugh)...
Nexus devices usually get support for 18 months. So it will most likely kit kat is the last update for nexus 7 2012.
