4.2.2 Update

[sushiguy732]

No OTA in NJ yet.

I also had no problems with 4.2.1. I updated my stock rom, rooted N7 using cwm recovery and the update file I downloaded from another site. With Supersu and Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, I kept root and cwm recovery through the process. 4.2.2 is running great.

What's the "brightness bug"?

Where it constantly changes brightness when there is no change in light with auto brightness selected.

I haven't experienced it until now because I went from 4.1 to 4.2.2. Looks like I'll have to find a happy medium for my brightness now.

Could not agree with you more. I recently did the same thing.

I'm waiting for confirmation that this doesn't totally suck with lag and freezing before updating. I finally got fed up with 4.2.1's absolute suckitude and reverted to 4.1.2 not 10 days ago after suffering 3 months and I'd rather have the responsive tablet I bought than the broken mess Google made it into with their half-arsed update.

The problem is that the light sensor is over-sensitive and a bit erratic (almost certainly a software problem since it worked fine before 4.2). I use an app called "custom auto brightness" which allows you to change the brightness at different sensor levels. With a little experimentation, I learned where the erratic behavior happened (mostly under 10 lux or lumens or whatever measure they use) and "flattened the curve" so sensor values within that range all resolve to the same brightness.

It's a tad brighter than I like in absolute darkness and a skosh dimmer than I'd like sitting next to a 25W light, but that flicker was driving me bat-guano crazy.

It's a bug, not a serious one since aftermarket brightness apps exist and of course you can always go manual on the brightness, but a bug nonetheless.

The OTA just showed up for my WIFI only in Iowa.

Thanks for the notification. I just checked and it is here for mine as well!!!

I've just had it on my 32gb WiFi n7. My Chrome seems a bit laggy, but I can cope with it as long as the freezing and reboots stop

So far I've noticed 3 things. The pull down menus don't bounced closed by themselves anymore, Currents doesn't kill the speed of the tablet, and the biggie is, auto brightness isn't flickery like it was in 4.2.1.

Got the update in upstate ny.

Just got the update myself with the 16gb WiFi only Nexus 7. Seems smoother. Trying they auto brightness now.

Seems that auto brightness is better in bright rooms. I will have to try in low light later tonight.

4.2.2 downloading as I type here in Baja California, Mexico. I also had no issues with 4.2.1 update

couldn't wait..... =/ just side loaded the update.......

Just got the 4.2.2 Immediately followed by an update for Google Now which includes a widget. And it's true that the Notification and Settings shades now stay put - small but welcome change.
