Loving the n4 however having issues with 4.2
Wife has a nexus 7 which had 0 issues with WiFi and Bluetooth before the update and now has issues with both. My nexus 4 is having the very same issues as well now.
I wish I made a nandroid when I first got the phone but of course I was too eager right away and updated. I searched for 4.1.2 but have had no luck.
Anyone else know?

i think it came with a prerelease software of 4.2... i don't think we ever had 4.1.2.. not sure didn't check before ota..
You had no luck because the device never had 4.1.2 to begin with.

Hi guys, I just bought my nexus 4. I'm really hesitant in updating because I also own a nexus 7 and when I updated that, my tablet was just flawed from left to right so I ended up downgrading it back to 4.1.2. Also, I hear that there is a way to enable LTE, but that with the new update the LTE function goes away? I would really appreciate to hear you guys' opinions. Thanks!

I updated my Gnex and my Nexus 7 but i won't update my Nexus 4, i wanna keep my lte connection, it's up to you, if you don't need lte go ahead and update.

Even if you do update to the latest you can still flash a different radio which will give you the option to use lte.
Oh ok just wanted to make sure that I wouldn't lose the LTE option. Does the new update have any flaws? Or are u happy with the new update and what are the differences between 4.2.1 and 4.2.2?

I think a lot of us are on the 4.2.2 update. Those who didn't update are of course on 4.2.1 because they want their LTE. I would like to a say a majority of the members are on 4.2.2.
Some folks are still having Bluetooth and WiFi issues. Problems like the difficulty of connecting to their device and the same for WiFi. This is plaguing some users but not all. Just a small percentage. On my end everything is working fine. It's just weird to hear others are having these problems. I never have any issues with my devices. If you want to update to 4.2.2, I strongly suggest you do a super clean install/update.

Oh ok well it's good to hear that there isn't as many problems with the update as there was with the nexus 7. But I am a bit hesitant because I'm on T-Mobile and I hear that they are about to get LTE in my area. I live in Los Angeles.

Lol. I live in NY and I think LTE is available on T-Mobile here as well.
If you want to use LTE, then don't update yet. If 4.2.1 is working fine don't update it.

Yes. As long as you find the stock rom/custom rom based on what you're looking for.

I couldn't find the 4.2.1 rom on the google website that's why. They only have the 4.2.2 rom.

4.2.2 has been better for battery life, at least for me. You should update it. And for LTE you can flash old radio, but might not work with the latest versions of certain ROMs, so do your research on that. I believe you can just do a nandroid for 4.2.1 (not 100% on this)

Yeah thanks for the advice, and your right about the battery life because I feel that considering that the nexus 4 has a 2100mah battery the battery doesn't last long enough. If I can do a nandroid backup then it would be awesome. I'm pretty new to the nexus 4 scene, so I appreciate everyone's help thus far.

anyone have a link to the 4.2.1 stock ROM. i think my speaker for my phone has gotten lower with the 4.2.2 update and i want to downgrade it.

It's the third one down the list on the "images". Use 7zip to unpack the files and flash away!
EDIT: There is the option to have 4.2.2 with the 33 baseband to retain the LTE, however that has caused problems for people so the only official way to make it work with LTE is to flash 4.2.1 with the 33 base.
I've noticed my nexus 4 completely locking up during chromecast control being active. It especially likes to happen after locking the screen. I'm on 4.3. Anyone else having this issue? It never locked up before and doesn't seem to unless I'm actively controlling my chromecast.
Did you get 4.3 OTA or did you flash it?
Were you trying to stream with Netflix?

Flashed it. And it does it for Netflix and YouTube and gmusic. All I've tried.
No problems so far with 4.2.2. I'll try and remember to post back when the 4.3 OTA hits.
It happens to me too

Me too.
I am having the same issue. When I am Chromecasting, the phone will not wake and I have to hold power to reset, luckily this does not affect the stream. I also flashed 4.3 and did not wait for the OTA.
PS. I picked mine up from Best Buy also. I had to call around and find one that just had it delivered as they are going FAST. I know that a few of the other Best Buy's around me are getting a few shipments in over the weekend.
I flashed mine but I used the factory image, there shouldn't be any difference between the factory image and the ota..... Right?

Dunno, it seems everyone having issues flashed 4.3, but I have yet to see a post from someone with an OTA update.
4.3 is supposed to have new DRM in it. Perhaps it doesn't get along well with root.
Yeah, root was my very uneducated guess
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app
I do not think that it has anything to do with root. I sideloaded with locked bootloader and not rooted and am currently not rooted. But then again I could have messed up somewhere.

I had a quick flick through of the nexus 7 forums didn't see any issues there yet

I'm having the same issue with Netflix and YouTube on my Nexus 4 (haven't tried Google Music). I'm non-rooted, completely stock 4.3. I got my update OTA.
My wife's Nexus 7 (stock, unrooted 4.3 via/ OTA) has no issues.
okay ive been seeing a lot of bug reports,systemui crashes on 4.3 roms, even on stock 4.3. if this update was so important and everyone says its better why all the bug reports? im honestly thinking of reverting back to 4.2.2. it seemed a lot more stable. just seeing if anyone has the answer to all these damn bugs.
I haven't experienced any bugs using my Nexus 7 with Android 4.3, both on stock and PA. It may seem that many people are experiencing bugs, but there may also be x times more that do not experience them and simply keep their mouth shut.

Stock rooted 4.3. No issues here.
Try to reflash stock ROM.

Bugs? What bugs? I got 4.3 OTA (I run stock on the 7), rooted it and haven't looked back. I'm currently at 17 days uptime, seems perfectly stable to me.

I want to hear all your problem and is there any issue about the latest gen and the latest model number, do you guys still having problems such as multitouch, lagging. Or any hardware problem and also the gps thing?
And do you guys know what is the latest model type that any kind of retail store has for nexus 7 and also from google site?
Seems the most problem for nexus 7 is still coming from JSS15Q, am i right?

You do know that this forum is for the 2012 Nexus 7?
Oh wow sorry i didn't know that

Its a wrong forum, but I've never had this multi touch problem on my 2013 n7, i guess it's a hardware problem, and yes jss15q is the latest!, you should do a replacement

I have a nexus 7 2012 WiFi only and a 2013 lte. The first gen and my HTC one model sign into my work WiFi just fine. The 2013 lte model does not want to connect through the internet login portal.
All software is unmodified and completely stock without root on all devices. Both nexus 7s are running kit Kat. The lte model has a tmobile SIM. I've also tried to remove the SIM and connect... Still no good
Any solutions? Anyone here of something like this happening ?

Since the problem is with the 2013 model, you would be better helped by posting in the correct device forum. They will be more familiar and better suited to help with your issue. For instance, if it is a known issue with that particular device, most here would most likely not know about it.
