I still haven't got Google maps 7.0.1 update for my nexus 4... All my friends who r using nexus 4 & note 2 have got the update... Anyone has the same problem ? Suggestions ??
There's little reason for them to spend the money on the hardware, personnel and bandwidth to do something like that just so people will whine less on a forum. It's like saying the DMV should be able to handle every single person in the state renewing their driver's license at the same time. They'd have to build these massive buildings with huge work staffs just for one single 15 minute time period during the year. It's a huge waste of money and resources when it doesn't have to be that way. I'd rather they spent that money on software development so the apps they do roll out are higher quality.the whole "phased rollout" reason doesn't hold any water with me i'm afraid. they should have the capability to release it globally and not see any hit.

The OP will just have to wait like the rest of us. I don't have the update, either.
It may be a combination of app size (it's several times larger than most other Google apps) and how big the change is. If there's a huge whoops in such a major change they'd rather know before they send it out to everyone. Also, I'm not sure that all other apps are updated all at the same time. Wasn't the update to the Play Store rolled out as well?I understand and agree with what you're saying however Google release almost all their updates to everyone at once.
Why is maps different?
And this update to their 20MB app that pretty much every phone and most tablets have is on top of all of that normal traffic.I don't think it's a resource thing. Google play must get millions of downloads a day.
Agree with your point, but what a horrible analogy.There's little reason for them to spend the money on the hardware,...

No arguments here. Definitely not my best work.Agree with your point, but what a horrible analogy.
LOL yeah I was at the DMV when I read your post. I had spent 3hrs there and all I have to say is they need to get better.No arguments here. Definitely not my best work.
I'm in the US on Verizon and I got it a day and a half ago.Just got it this morning - that must be a month after people in the US.
