Asus releases firmware upgrade to fix screen lift, dead pixels

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.

Super clever! You should start a blog.
No, really, start a blog. And post this crap there, not on XDA.

But the items change throughout the day and this might help some people catch the really good deals they might otherwise miss. Judging from the other posters, it made some people's day better. Sorry it doesn't help you. SMH and facepalm

Can someone verify?

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).

Well, there were multiple people who reported it. So its plausible that its true. There was also someone with a nexus 7 who reported.

Is that time again?

Exactly what's happening right now :laugh:

I do come from Germany, but an American friend told me he's on his Nexus 10 today to get Android 4.2.2.

(Speculation) The next android version "L"

Since I can't stand these threads I might as well be the one to start it. Now that kitkat has been revealed( I hated KLP as a name) what's after KK? Lemon meringue pie? Since we didn't get sour tasting KLP. How bout Lemoncello? Get some alcohol companies to sponsor. Lollipop

Liquorice? Naah - some people don't like it.
Lemon meringue pie maybe too close to KLP - also marketing anything as a lemon ain't a good start.
Lardy Cake? No.
Liverpool Tart? Don't think so.
I kinda like Lollipop tbh.
