4.4.3 for the LTE model?

[maxburn]

I still don't have 4.4.3~

If it bothers you enough Google does have a factory image available. Or I'm sure xda has the OTA file somewhere that you could sideload.

It rather bugs me that carriers get in the way of bug fixes and security updates.

I'm curious; whatever do the carriers have to do with Nexus 7 LTE operating system updates? The device is unlocked and not tied to any carrier, just as the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5.

So, again, why is everyone blaming "carriers" for Nexus 7 being slow to get 4.4.4? Why aren't these same carriers blocking updates on the 4 and 5?

Sorry; I'm just not convinced.

What about the Nexus 5? It does LTE also and, as already pointed out, LTE is LTE - there is no special Verizon "flavor" of LTE that would require their input...

The Nexus 5 isn't approved by Verizon for their network.

The theory is Google worked hard to get Verizons approval for the Nexus 7 and they don't want to mess up the relationship by pushing out updates Verizon hasn't tested and approved.

It is speculated that the Nexus 5 could work on Verizon fine but I figure they don't want to deal with the hassle and delays.

Well, I suppose...

But frankly, every indication is that Google doesn't give a crap what Verizon thinks.

Not helpful. I decline to do my OEM's work for it.

The observation remains: HTC is before Google.

I'm still waiting for the OTA for 4.4.3. Where's 4.4.4?

 

[maxburn]

No idea, I haven't seen it for my LTE version either.

Meanwhile on my other Nexus 7 WiFi I'm having a neat time with the L preview. This is the experience I expected with Nexus, not what I'm getting with the LTE version.

What's new and cool on L?

I have 4.4.3 on my LTE unit on Verizon. I've had it for quite a while. Now waiting for 4.4.4.

We know, this thread has devolved into general griping on how the LTE version basically isn't getting the Nexus treatment. Updates lag well behind and it's left out of the L preview...

My Nexus 7 2013 LTE Tablet upgraded to Android 4.4.3 OTA about a month or so ago. I guess I'm like everyone else now and waiting for Android 4.4.4 to come OTA.

The wait for 4.4.4 is getting ridiculous. At this rate my Xperia Z will get the update faster!

I'm beginning to think it won't happen, and instead will just go to L. Haha, that sounds funny if you say it quickly. Go to L!

Can the Nexus 7 2013 LTE Tablet upgrade from Android 4.4.3 right to L without Android 4.4.4 as the base? I don't think it can.

If Google decides they want to do it that way it can.

 

[maxburn]

One way to get 4.4.4.

I see your post Maxburn, I just don't know what I'm supposed to do get that "page" on my Nexus 7 2013 LTE Tablet. I'm sorry I'm not very talented.
