Jellybean on the D4

**KJX** · 02-07-2013, 07:21 AM

Does anyone know if there are plans to give release Jellybean for the D4?

**pihutch** · 02-07-2013, 10:33 PM

Yes. Most speculation/rumors are that it will be late spring to summer timeframe.

**etbooker** · 02-24-2013, 09:02 AM

Yes, if you go to Motorola's website you can see the D4 in the list to be upgraded to Android 4.1. Hopefully the update does not take forever.

Per various published sources, soak test may be underway for JB.

Meh...It doesn't seem to be as great as I was hoping. I guess I'm used to JB on my Nexus 7 already and it kind of deflated my excitement. My stock weather widget is gone. The app I use for changing profiles (Profiles) doesn't work anymore. FoxFi doesn't work as a WiFi hotspot any more. I can live without GoogleNow. I hate to say it, but I'd actually be happier with ICS again.

I installed it yesterday afternoon. Had a full charge when I started the install. Been playing with my phone quite a bit as I wiped it after the install to make sure it was a clean one. I have noticed much better battery life, a lot smoother operation, virtually no lag & just all apps operating better/faster. Overall I am really happy with the update. I can finally use Google Now on my phone instead of just my Nexus 10. I use Google Now so much throughout the day it is excellent to have it on my phone now!

I am kind of bummed about FoxFi not working anymore, but I can still use it via Bluetooth if I need to.

Loving the new options in the email and new dock look. Of course, the biggest plus is Google Now. I didn't factory reset, but likely will tonight to wipe old cache. Losing FoxFi sucks, but I think others have workarounds that I will have to look into.

Been looking for workaround, can you post if you find one?
Thanks,

Mine has always shown percent charged when charging since ICS update. Not sure what you're talking about on the other issue.

Didn't want to do a reset, but it seems my Bluetooth is now broken after the update. Oh well...at least I get a clean install now...

Does anybody know how to root stock jelly bean on the droid 4?

**KJX** · 03-22-2013, 07:12 AM

Jellybean has arrived!

According to this site you can do it with the RAZR Blade tool. I haven't tried yet.

Same here; I just noticed the notification of the system update this morning.

The thing is, I'm not sure I want to accept the upgrade. I also have a Razr Maxx and a Galaxy Nexus, both of which have versions of Jelly Bean, and all three are stock. Based on my experience only the Nexus does JB right. The Razr naturally has awesome battery life, but I felt it lagged pretty badly performance-wise. I recently flipped back over to the D4 from the Maxx and I've enjoyed the smoother operation, and now I wonder if updating to JB would mess that up.

Also, the browser in the Good For Enterprise app doesn't work in JB, and I'm not sure I want to give up that feature.

... Such a first - world problem....

Upgrading is of course a personal choice. I would agree with those that say the upgrade is evolutionary - not revolutionary.

The differences from ICS are subtle, but they really do make a difference. The interface is a lot more polished and Google Now I think is going to be great. I have had no problems so far, so would say, "go for it..."

Yes, that works. I did it and am back to using FoxFi for wireless tethering.

**Patrick Murphy NJ** · 04-09-2013, 08:13 AM

I did the Jelly Bean update and have nothing but issues...... My 4G phone is now a 3G phone. My hands free blue tooth no longer works. Keyboard shift key is worthless unless you hold it down (stupid, stupid, stupid). Voice command works only if you use an app. What a piece of crap. Don't upgrade until they fix issues. And these are the ones I've found so far. Haven't even tried a lot of things. Just updated yesterday. It sucks putting it mildly.

**Patrick Murphy NJ** · 04-09-2013, 08:33 AM

I just got it, what a piece of crap. Issues on slide out key board, blue tooth stopped working, voice commands don't work unless you use an App, turned the phone into a 3G phone instead of the 4G I bought. And these are just things that I have noticed since I updated yesterday.

**littletechy** · 04-09-2013, 10:42 AM

My wife has the D4 and we installed the jelly bean update last month when it came out. I do not see google now, or chrome or any other features I have on my Razr Maxx HD once it updated. Do I need to wipe the cache to make it work or has others seen this issue.

I had the same problems. Unfortunately, the solution was a factory reset. That fixed all of the problems for me.
