Am I the only one who loves 4.2?

[natehoy]

Love it.

The swiping keyboard having the word it will post before you lift your finger up is just pure concentrated awesome, because once it's found the word you want you can stop swiping - a real timesaver. Multi-user accounts is really, really cool. I do wish they hadn't artificially locked out Photosphere, because even though the camera is nearly useless, with a little time and patience I bet even that camera + photosphere would make for some fun experimental photos.

A few apps broke. That's life in the land of Nexus. Everything I care about was fixed within a day or two.

The screen brightness seems to be higher on average, which has affected battery life. "Custom Auto Brightness" to the rescue (I needed it for my Thunderbolt, too, as the automatic brightness was equally messed up, and I prefer to set my own brightness settings anyway).

I cleared the cache for the hell of it, but I never experienced any lag to speak of, so that was more of a good practice thing than an actual need.

Flickering brightness, lags, fugly lock screen - what's not to love?

Especially if you're already using Swype and Beautiful Widgets, etc.

2 complaints here
I thought the stock lock screen was fuggly. So I changed it.
Screen brightness flicker so I took it out of auto.
Not much else to say. Moving on

I've got 4.2 on my Nexus 4 and 7 and I think I like it more on my Nexus 4 than I do my 7. The way the notifications work on the Nexus 7 in landscape are kind of annoying but nothing I can't deal with. Photo spheres are pretty awesome. The new clock font I could do without but I don't have to see it since I took the lock screen widget off. Otherwise I think this is a nice update.
Wait. I don't really like the new smaller icons on the dock for my Nexus 7. But that's just a minor gripe and nothing more.

Finally, some satisfied customers! I'm very grateful for this update as it brought this amazing new keyboard. It's very useful when um typing with one finger. The only suggestion I'd make would be to have shortcuts legitimately function. Maybe I misunderstood what 'shortcut' means. I'm talking about the shortcuts you can set for your personal dictionary.

I like it now that I figured out how to fix my issues. And it pretty much came down to be the fault of third party apps, not android. For instance, the lag that I had with nova launcher does not exist on the stock launcher. And by the way, the new keyboard is actually better than Swype.

had a few issues this morning what I've called a blackout, the screen just goes dead and I have to pop the back of and battery out a pain in the butt that's for sure.

Anyway I'd had enough to day and ive done a full factory reset, must say I'm glad I did now there honestly has to be something wrong with the first over the update, because as soon as the phone had rebooted the first thing to to see was the fonts were so clear, the launcher was so smooth, this is what my update last week should have been instead of the bug ridden April jelly fools day release of last week.

I know its a pain but just maybe my advice to people who have just updated that before you reinstated all your apps following your first ota do I full factory reset all most like sealing the update in cementing the changes into the os.

it's worked for me.

I am having major problems with the 4.2 update. The major bug is that my nexus 7 keeps rebooting itself.

My 7 was sluggish and buggy after the update. I broke down and did a reset and things are much better now. Nothing bad enough stands out but I still wonder if it is as fast as it was before the update.

I just picked up my Nexus 7 on Black Friday. (No Discounts lol. I was looking to buy a cheapo tablet from biglots. I'm glad i ended up with the Nexus from Staples).
I installed 4.2 the same day I got it. I have had no problems. My Samsung Skyrocket is still on 4.0.4.
I'm glad to be up to date with something.

I like it. Only annoyance is the brief second that you see the other users log in screen (I don't have anyone else set up as a user). Other than that, nothing to really complain about.
