Did you try clearing data under the 'Google Services Framework' app?
Update: Anyone not seeing the update, try the following: Go to Apps>All>Google Services Framework>Clear Data then search for an update again. It should say last checked 1970.

This will cause loss of root/unlock right?
I got the notification in Salt Lake... I'm currently running clean ROM.

If you install and use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper from Play you can easily maintain root. Worth doing before you update.

Per a comment on a Droid Life Article, to force the update
Turn on Airplane Phone
Force Stop Google Services Framework and Clear Data
Turn Off Airplane Mode
It worked for me, but of course it could just a coincidence.

Nothing in Vietnam yet. I am sure I will be one of the last to receive it. I tried the force stop/clear data trick, got nothing.

I got it too here in sweden at 2.54 am! Had to do the airplane mode on > stop google services framework and clear data > airplane mode off procedure but now it's installing the update. The nexus 7 was my first nexus device and therefore this is my first experience of an update on release day and it feels kind of uplifting haha!

4.2 OTA is in New Zealand
Just got notifacation for 4.2 ota update from Google for the N7. Downloads and installs, no problems so far.JOP40C Build number.

Playstore not working

Hi! all. My playstore is not working. When i launch playstore, it doesn't load anything just the dark grey background with the message "No Connection RETRY". When i click retry, the screen just flash white quickly & return to the same screen. I tried to randomly search for an app but nothing comes out. I noticed that the option "My Apps" is also missing. Any idea how to fix this?

is it rooted?

Make sure when you launch it you have fully working data connection or wifi.
If it doesn't work, settings> apps >all> Google play store and clear cache and data. And try again.

Uninstall the the play store updates? Or try finding a play store apk and go from there? If not
Then do a full wipe and repair with Sony update service. So odd that only this app is having issues.

Download it from PlayStation website, i did that, and install it by transfering APK file to your phone, than run it.
Of course, before that delete existing app.

A new play store apk was uploaded some where in one of the xda forums two weeks ago. Head over there and see if you can get that one installed. May fix the problem.

Did you disable background data for it? It might complain if that is turned off.

Are you from Belgium?

anyone can offer some help? i had to repair the firmware & install everything all over again to get it to work. Now another xperia Z is having the same issue.

Have you installed any hacking mods installed that are connected to in-app purchases? If so, please remove them!

Download the 6.9 apk file
Uninstall Google apps by dragging the icon to the edit (turns to uninstall)
Go to the apk file ( i use es explorer ) and click to install.
NOTE: make sure to remove the auto update apps in the play store to keep it from auto updating Google maps.

Most recent version is 6.14.3 from Feb 20, 2013
This version is still the 'old' style, but the most updated version of it. 6.9.0 was from June 27, 2012, whereas the 6.14.3 build was from February 20, 2013. From the same website you posted just a different link http://www.androiddrawer.com/9559/download-maps-6-14-3-app-apk/

I have 6.14.4 in a Titanium Backup set. That was the last version I got from Google Play before the crap versions hit my phone. I'll try to find somewhere to upload it.

it's not a crappy app =/
the problem it's adreno libs, try to use nokia here.com in the browser and you will see artifacts.. we can't use the new adreno libs because it's needed a new kernel supporting ION memory manager.. actually android 4.2 is running using legacy support for adreno in the kernel, it happened to every phone using adreno 205..

How to prevent MAPS from auto updating
You can prevent Google Maps from updating to the new, crappy version by selecting it in Titanium Backup. When the window opens with Backup! Freeze! Un-instal! showing at the top, swipe to the left to bring up the SPECIAL FEATURES window, and in that window select Detach from Market under the Playstore/Market heading.
Voila. Even if you are set up for auto updates to all your other apps, Google will not auto update your Maps app after you have done this.

I've tried that. Works fine.....
Until you reboot. Then it's re-attached to the Play Store.

Could something else be making it show back up in the updates after a reboot? I always turn off auto update in the play store right after it's loaded on a new rom install.
After I detach from market it won't show in updates, buy shows up again after a reboot.

have you tried turning off update notification?

Not sure how that will help?
Notifications don't include it before the reboot, do after.
And whether or not notifications are enabled, the update shows back up when I go into play store after a reboot.
What I would prefer is a permanent detach, one that survives reboots. Is it possible?

Yeah you are right,i thought it was impossible cause in earlier android versions it was impossible.
About your issue try uninstalling Google play service and playstore than clear data,reboot and let it update itself again.

Oh... when you unlocked it you forced flash the phone so you lost your newer Google services framework. If you do not see it as an install on the Play Store try loading the latest off the mirror https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/

Yes it was an account issue, after root I used a different account as my primary. Im guessing it was still beta and only some accounts have access to the feature
