I thought it would be nice for both users and developers what to expect from next update to fix or be fixed. I'm gonna give a kick start to known bugs, so that we can be aware of the faults of 4.2. Don't shoot the things you didn't like here since it is nothing to do with this "bug" thread. Here I go..
1. I keep telling myself this should not be a bug since it is so obvious but there is no reason for it to be implemented that way. Which is the hour segment of lock screen time being bold and the other half is normal font.. Maybe there is a reason for this hopefully..
2. Pull down the notification bar from top, when it is down, pull down from the top most again. Notification center will continue going down and out of the screen. It applies for both quick settings and notification center.. Major bug! - 1 to googles test engineers.
Now you can add your own test cases and bugs and maybe we have great devs to sort them out and develop great custom roms..
I don't think either is a bug ,more or less design desicions. I actually like both things you mentioned

last one you mentioned stops extending menus down the way when dpi is changed

I can understand the first one but you clearly didn't understand the second. This is a major bug because a layout goes out of screen. They seem to not lock pulling down from the top most of the screen when it is already pulled down.. Result; notification center goes out of the screen..

If you fling it down it stops ,then you can pull it all the way down or just fling it back up.trust me they designed it that way ,it's not a bug.

This is probably a feature Not really a bug..
But on the lock screen .. Long tap the clock quickly.. you will see a big square highlight the unlock button Slide to unlock . This will take you to a STOP WATCH TYPE INTERFACE..
I Was hoping there would be a way in there to change the stupid bold hour number . That is gross to look at ..
Just to try it i Created a 3rd user..From the lock screen then you log into that user account to set it up. When it gets the point it ask for user Name SU Pops up asking to grant permission .. then give a message ..
SuperSU has granted superuser permission :/system/bin/id
tried 3 times .. if you let it set on that screen you will get Supersu isnt responding .. You click ok then it will allow you to continue setting up the account.
The second account set up fine.. Just thought i would try a 3rd and look at directory structure..
Can someone try and see if its just me with the issue. It finally created the account. with a reboot. but its unstable .Thanks Erica
Youtube is borked with stereo (a2dp) bluetooth headsets - sync issues, laggy, scratchy. They have clearly done some changes to bluetooth audio (you can hear the bluetooth headset mute/come alive when there is a moment or two of no sound).
Can't log into gmail with another account in chrome.
I used to log into another account in chrome that I haven't bothered linking. I went to gmail in chrome (not requesting desktop version) and I was already logged into my primary account. It's never done that before. I thought no big deal and signed out. Now gmail continually loops on the address constantly refreshing but the site never actually comes up.
And not a bug, but I'm annoyed Nexus 7 didn't get miracast. Can't imagine the reason for that. And the what's new page isn't clear that it is only nexus 4. http://www.android.com/whatsnew/
Yes it does say "Share what’s on your phone on the big screen." but the rest of the text and the page makes it seem like these are 4.2 features and not exclusive to N4. I'm hoping custom roms will enable miracast.
Also, not a bug but a feature lost, the camera no longer has the funny faces (big nose, small eyes etc). ya I know a dorky feature but I don't see why it was removed. I know the nexus 7 didn't have the camera enabled by default but we have the new camera app so I assume other devices lost those as well.
Settings -> About tablet -> Status crashes, 100% of the time
Navigation never gets past "waiting for location" even though the icon on the status bar indicates a lock in. It works fine in the maps app.

Thanks for the tip, I had a bit of a play. It looks like it's just the digital clock widget, it's probably just a matter of time before more lock screen widgets become available

I'm getting an issue when tethering via Bluetooth. This morning it was working fine, the update came down while I was tethered to my phone, after the install I can pair to my phone but it won't connect.
I've tried deleting the pairing on both, re-pairing, rebooting... Anyone else having a problem? Anyone else doing Bluetooth tethering?
edit: never mind, I worked it out, I had to go in and select that I wanted to use the "Internet Access" profile
Seems like realvnc doesn't like this new update crashes

I know it sucks. I backed up with rom toolbox. And restored. Not sure if it saves game data thou.
I was on custom rom
I cant get the phone to stop automatically selecting photos it deems highlights from any album on my phone.
I uncheck the highlight from custome albun it was moved to, delete it from highlights album... Within the hour the phone has added it back in.
Please God someone help... This is a GIANT PRIVACY ISSUE
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
If I'm correct it highlights the pictures you click on (view) the most it's not a privacy issue since it doesn't even transmit the data to HTC or anyone else. It happens to me too from time to time.
So a highly connected device moving files from a protected location to a shared location by itself is not a privacy issue?
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
It doesn't move the location of the picture, it just links it to a folder in the gallery for quick viewing access. That's all.

I see what big is talking about though. If someone is looking at his phone, someone might see pictures they weren't intended to see that would otherwise be hidden from view.

Then un highlight them? If you say it keeps highlighting photos you don't want to be highlighted then it'd probably be a good idea to go into settings>apps>all>media storage and clear the data from it, as well as the gallery app. Then do a reboot and let the gallery settle
This also drives me crazy. I'm constantly un-highlighting my photos and there's no way to turn that feature off

BTW I completely deleted the highlights album. 2 days later it had rebuilt itself, and pulled photos on my phone again from wherever it liked.

This.
I did this on my first day. In the settings of the gallery app, go to hide albums, and check the albums you want to hide.
This is actually a cool feature and it's even cooler that you can opt out of it. I see no privacy concerns at all. If someone is looking at your pics, your entire gallery is there for them to flick through.... unless you are seriously concerned with someone knowing which pictures you look at most frequently... in that case, don't let people get to your phone.
EDIT: I just realized how angry my post sounded... that was not intentional. I hope I didn't come off as a jerk!
Does the highlight album take up storage space?
This is a privacy issue...My highlighted photos go up on Twitter. I don't even post any personal pics on Twitter, or face book.
I'm very pissed with this auto feature. If I wanted someone to see them I'd post them.
How do u permanently turn it off. ????
I hope we're able to do this. Having the those stock ringtones is pretty lame. Any have any clue how to do this?

Doesn't work, I've tried, even copied the tone into every friggin folder. Really, a great piece of hardware and I only have 3 notification tones which aren't very loud at all. *sigh, Samsung, come on you can do better then that.

yah it works for adding music on there but trying it now I cant get notifications to work either I wish we could see the whole device structure and all systems folders.
Once someone gets root access, this watch will be made so much better. I like the watch but see so much more potential.

Honestly, this is one of my biggest complaints about the watch.
If you root the watch you can add custom rings. Check the stickies for a rooting guide, instructions are there.

so, root is needed, you use SDB to push the files to the correct file path locations, and the files need to be .ogg files
Hey everyone and thanks for taking the time to read this.
I wanted to make so when i'm using whatsapp the screen timeout of my phone changes to 2 minutes instead of my usual 30 seconds.
It looked like it was working but one time I noticed the screen went off after the 30 seconds, so i pulled down my notification bar and checked it.. It was infact set at 30 and not 2 minutes
I noticed that the 2 minutes always work in the whatsapp homepage but they get resetted to 30seconds whenever I enter a chat and send a message. If then I go back to the homepage of the app they get switched again to 2 minutes
What I did to setup the profile is:
1. Create new application profile and select WhatsApp
2. Add a task that makes the screen timeout change to 2 minutes
3. Uncheck restore settings on the advice of another user
Trying to "debug" the problem I even added an exit task which set the timeout back to 30 seconds but that didn't seem to change anything
If anyone could help me out that would be greatly appreciated
Edit: I'll be more specific the timeout becomes 30 second whenever I tap to type and the keyboard opens, whenever I tap away it goes back to 2 minutes. Is there anyway to prevent that from happening beside using the the same settings for the keyboard?
Quick fix
After time out add another action
Add -> Input -> Soft Keyboard.
It works that way I tried it with soft keyboard and without soft keyboard.

Hey and thanks for your answer!
It actually did not work for me
my device is a5 2016 running nougat
I did find a workaround for now that i might or might not keep it.
What i did was:
1. Create new app profile for gBoard
2. Set screen timeout at 2 mins if PACTIVE *,whatsapp,*
It seems to work for now even though It's not the best style and it does take two profiles instead of one, I'm very open to try and fix it the way you suggest if we manage to make it work
Thanks for taking the time to help me!

Quick settings is the culprit.
So I installed the quick settings app from playstore and used the screen time out tab and then all of a sudden my time out profile stopped working.
I then disabled the time out thing from the quick settings app and it still didn't work.
I then uninstalled the quick settings app and it still didn't work.
Finally I'd to reboot the device and my profile started working.
So yeah you'll have to choose between Quick Settings and Time Out.

Yes i agree, but in relation to the ringtone sound level it makes it more convinient. You can even adjust the level by using multiple files. But did google already "fixed" this since version Kit Kat?
