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

neither are bugs
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

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
Is there a way to have the screen turn on when I get a notification? More specifically an email. I did notice in the Roms section there are tweaks to have SMS screen on.
There are apps in the play store that will allow this but they all require the accessibility settings to be turned on which affects how the lock screen works so looking for a way to do this without using an app.
Thanks

You'll either need a different rom or an app, it might be added by an HTC update at some point but I haven't read anything about it. I think HTC thought the notification light was good enough...
I use sms popup for texts. There is an app called notify me in the play store, that if you purchase the pro version you can set up different apps to have the screen turn on. The free version only allows sms.

Trickdroid is pretty sweet and stable plus they have wake on sms and you'll get the update that hasn't come to a lot of stateside folks yet. That was a weird feature not to get though, I came from IOS and thought all phones integrated it these days

Yes I've put Trickdroid on it and allows a lot of customization which is great. I too came from iOS as that was just getting a bit dull and samey!! However I do miss how good it was at the notifications...

Evening all I am after a little help please I am new to this phone after having Samsung's for a long time and one thing that is bugging me is that apps that are real time e.g. whatsapp and anything with messaging are not getting the messages until I open the app and I am then flooded with messages? I have seen the options in the power menu for background apps but regardless of how I select the apps either on or off I still don't get the messages till I open the app?
Anyone else had this issue and know lof a work around?
Cheers
Hi! yeah, I had the same problem and I know more people is suffering the same experience. What I made was the following. Firstly, you should set the background apps in setting/power manager/manage background. Then, you have to make the same in Mi-assistant app/list of authorized and finally, you can install "Push Notifications Fixer" app from Google Play Store but be aware, because there are two versions of this app (rooted and not rooted devices). At this moment, my notifications come on time so, it's working pretty well.
Thanks so much for this I will check your advise out now.
The above isn't working unfortunately does anyone else have any suggestions?

Where is power manager? I don't see that in the settings.(on 5.1.1)
Do you have 5.1.1 version in Axon Elite? Congratulations! You must be the only one. Rest of us have 5.0.2 version and in settings, you have an option with an icon battery. This is power manager or energy manager.

Hello, I have found an easy solution Here is the link, post number 5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/zte...n-mini-root-custom-roms-t3289640#post64791398
hi all well after speaking with ZTE support i performed a factory reset but prior to that they advised to clear cache on the apps with issues (not sure why) but this did help and for the first few days all was great but whatsapp is slowly getting more and more delayed? i have set all the power and start up options as advised also disabled the MI assistant but to no avail? so the reset may help others but for me this did not work.

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.

Did you select all option to theme or one by one?
So after you select the s8, it will automatically show you options of stuff that is installed on your phone, you can select multiple then install them. Also you can find a theme in be play store called swift for Samsung. It is actually better because the overlays there are designed for the Samsung stuff. Hope this helps. Try it and let me know.
I noticed when i restart my phone, some overlays (eg YouTube Twitter tumblr chrome) get back to the original theme and I have to reinstall the overlays even though it says up-to-date. Does it happen to you guys?

not sure wth is going on, but i'm using substratum with magisk rooted on nemesis rom, it's saying application successful but the settings menu is still white, notification window and QS icons are still white, only the dialer and a few other 3rd party apps got themed using swift black oreo samsung
I had some of my overlays reset on restart the first time. I reinstalled and now they seem to be sticking. YouTube gave me some issues, too. I didn't know about the Samsung variant, so I have the normal Swift Black. It seems to be working under S8 option now. Maybe that is what caused my little glitch.
It was annoying, but I thought it was going to change my notifications, too. It took another 3 hours of searching to get rid of the white notification background. Ugh. But it is worth it to use an almost all black phone.
I will totally be sharing substratum with my friends and family.
