Android 4.3 for Nexus 4

4.3 has been seen on a Nexus 4 so it should not be long before it is released into the wild to autoupdate our phones.   July 24th seems to be bandied around for some Google announcements, perhaps it will be then?

Wave goodbye Android 4.2.2! :byebye:

We'll all be getting 4.3 anyway as soon as we buy the Nexus 5 in spite of teh fact that we have perfectly decent nexus 4 phones :-)

Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep an eye out for the update.

Tried 4.3 and didn't like it over the touchwiz features I was using on the S4. So went back to touchwiz 4.2.2 with nova launcher over the top

Just got the update to 4.3. It's supposed to be quicker and I'm not sure if it's that I am expecting it to be faster because they say it's faster but I do think it's a bit snappier. Obviously it looks identical to 4.2.2 which as pure android without all the crap that phone makers and mobile carriers shovel onto their phones means it's still the smoothest and cleanest UI out there.

Tried the leak. That was crap. Installed factory 4.3 image yesterday, and it's brilliant. Here are a couple of general tips:

- Visit the dialer settings and enable predictive dialer.
- Camera functions upgraded (what? Where did white balance adjustment go?), especially photosphere performance on selected models. Take it for a spin
- rub it in the faces of S4 owners stuck on 4.2.2

Edit: found white balance. Selector arc has nested menus

That's more than likely an app you are running?   I have not heard of any major crash problems with it that are actually 4.3?

[BrotherTobious]

Probably more than likely TL it still works but I just get this message from time to time.

My update left me with a broken 'Play Store'. This is a common problem that's been kicking around forever. There are various ways posted up on the web to fix this but the only one that worked for me was to delete my Google account, reboot, add account back.

I was lucky it seems , my phone updated without issue. I'm just waiting for the update to come for my Nexus 7.

I cant find out what is crashing unless I uninstall all of it.  but hope updates will come soon.

I feel left out now. No update for mine yet. I guess they're pushing it out in stages.

Seems odd and I'd love to know the process Google use to decide what gets updated and when. My Nexus 4 got the update but my Nexus 7 hasn't yet?

You can 'force' it by force stopping Google Framework Services and rebooting
