I got the update and it wanted to update maps and hangout immediately after but it keeps giving me an error downloading from server for both. Any idea why?

You need to remove your Google account from the account settings and log back in clearing the data from framework is the cause of this

I did the workaround and got the update on the second try. But now my gmail is not downloading new messages or notifying me when I have messages. I did remove the google account, then added it back in and gmail is still not working properly. I've rebooted, checked my settings and my mail won't come down unless I open the gmail app. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

Edited to say that I finally found the problem. Syncing was turned off for some reason for my primary account, and a couple of minutes after turning it back on I started getting my notifications again.

I am seeing more battery drain though.

That has nothing to do with it.

Its the weekend And people are off for the weekend. Does this mean I will not get the update until the next business Day?

That's how I updated to 4.3 (took 5 attempt) I did the same for 4.2.2. I have never had issues with this method other than having to add my Google account to my phone again.

Just did it 2 min ago and downloading now (took 4 attempts.

Gonna throw this out there one more time although nobody ever listens

Do NOT clear the data from Google Services Framework

It does NOT push the update to your device any faster. All it does is force your phone to check for the update in a really silly and bad for you way, which you can do much more safely by just clicking the Check for update button. That's it. The updates are controlled by Google's servers and pushed out in exponentially increasing batches. There is no trick to make it get pushed to you sooner. It also has absolutely nothing to do with your location. All confirmed from JBQ, gatekeeper of all things AOSP: imgur: the simple image sharer

Thanks for your attention. Now go back to ignoring me and do whatever you want.

I totally hear you. In fact, I've never tried the aforementioned "method" because of your advice. Waiting a couple more days won't change a thing, hehe.

After removing my Google account, a quick reboot and adding it back, I'm up an running on 4.3 with Nova launcher, light flow, power toggles, and all of my favorite android enhancing apps (luckily without bricking my Nexus 4 . Now that I've done it, I would highly recommend taking the advice of the wise AND NOT backdoor the "normal" update process by clearing your gframework data to hurry up the process. There are a mounting number of reports coming in of phones ending up in an endless boot due to the 4.3 install failing.

I have no problem with "it being a bad idea" if someone can give me reasons why.

I did it. Got it on my 3rd try, so it sped up the process somehow. Then I couldn't download from Play and my Now cards weren't working., so I signed out of my Google account rebooted and signed back in and everything is back to normal. No harm done from what I can see.

If the guy in charge of Android says you shouldn't do it but that's not enough reason for you, then who am I to convince you?

If you follow my point though, you could have accomplished the same thing just hitting the Check For Updates button. You didn't pull the update any faster, you just made the phone check for it and happened to get it pushed anyway, which is what hitting that button does, but doing it the way you did also screws up your account and other settings so you had to sign out, sign in, etc.

 

[Illustrator Joe]

I am all for doing things the right way. But to say this method has the same results as just hitting the check now button is just wrong. Many people that had been pushing the check now button for the past few days had luck as soon as they tried this method. That isn't just random. As far as someone telling me I shouldn't do something, I would be much more likely to listen if they cited examples of why. I searched all over the Internet and nowhere did it say this method would harm you device other than having to sign out of your Google account and back in. I need a better reason than don't do it "just because".

Have to agree with Joe. Mashed my check for update over and over. Try the"other"way and success. Just had to remove and add my account. My only issue is the Netflix 4.3 bug. No other problems at all but trying the other method

Ok, I did the clear data play services thong, but I got some weird error message once the update installed. Saying unknown user message or something like that. It then kept pinging this notification. Then my apps couldn't update in the store. I removed my google account and resubmitted it, and the app updated fine after that.

But is there any chance I messed something up in my phone by doing this? See, I usually am afraid to do stuff like that because I'm afraid of permanent damaging my phone.

Well, I got tired of hiting "check now" every half hour, so I did this and it worked on the first time. I got a couple of error messages on the first reboot, but after that all went well. The strangest thing is I didn't even touch my account. No remove and reinstall, nothing.

 

[RavenSword]

Man, now I'm all paranoid and am thinking of factory resetting my phone
