Oh, that has to happen now! :good:

It's October I guess because on the limited edition of the KidKat boxes, in which is a plastic KitKat, it says it'll be launched in October
I can't wait for it!

My Guess.
May 26.
Sometime during june. It's Sony. They take a long time with everything

Never is my guess
I think people need to relax. So its been bumped back a little bit. Give S(E) credit for even making ics for our phones. There are phones with the same specs or more power thy are not even going to see ics. My nephew has the Samsung infuse and its still stuck on froyo. It came out a year ago. Our phones clear with gingerbread out the door so already we were lucky. Just relax people it will happen when it happens..

Check the serial number, that will tell you when the phone was made and what batch it was in. The number is on the box, I forgot what letters correspond with what months, but the Nexus 7 thread should have some decoder as they had a bunch of issues with the early units, and every S/N uses the same scheme for the most part.

when is the nexus 4 restock?

i heard march 2013?
March 2013? That's insane. It can't be.
All google said was they have orders that will take them until Janurary to fulfill.
I bet they already sent orders to CHINA to make a new batch for January to sell

No one ever knows when things are coming out from Google. It's what makes things special.
if you are wondering if it will get the next version of android - yes. it's a new(er) nexus device. look how long the nexus s was supported.

OMG. Dude, this is just a list of SAMSUNG devices. Nexus devices are GUARANTEED to get updates for at least two years. AT LEAST. You really think Google would stop giving updates to a device that was just release LAST YEAR?
I don't see why some people make such a huge deal about these updates. Sure they are nice to have, but they don't make or break a Nexus device.
I know when it will be released - when it's released.

There will be a lottery, 100 first lucky ones will be upgraded to 5.0, next 100 will be downgraded to 2.2, rest will be switched off and used as cutting boards.
@up
LOLOLOLOL!
@op
Pretty sure the N7 will get KLP somehow, be it by the wonders of the devs at XDA or by those at Google. I prefer the former over the latter, though. Stock has never suited me.
Wow. It's not like this hasn't been asked numerous times.
Will it get KLP? Assuming that will be the official name, it's likely that it will. The N7 is still well within the support life cycle for updates. Eben if it wasn't, the dev community is more than capable of cooking something from AOSP.
When will it come? Sometime after Google I/O. No one has a crystal ball and can forecast this far out what day Google is going to push the update or release the source.

If we don't get it from google the developers will get it working for us. In about half year I'll buy a new nexus. I think I'll wait for a new nexus 10 and upgrade, I never looked to see if a new nexus 10 was released yet.

Android 4.4, KitKat

Will our device, the Nexus 7 v1, get the official Androidd 4.4, KitKat upgrade?
I would be surprised (and angry) if not.
It still has more than enough hw resource.
Surely it'll.
Sent from my AUXUS Nuclea N1 using xda app-developers app
I'm pretty sure that even the GNex will get it. Google will continue to update any Nexus devices that have enough HW.
Lol dumb question ....of course we will get 4.4/kitkat man
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm pretty sure we'll get it, but we can't know it 100%. So just wait for the release and you'll know

Oh hell yeah. Adding on to that statement, you also realize that Android 4.4 KitKat is supposed to be supporting older devices and be hardware friendly. Sure it'll come to the Google Nexus, probably the first devices to receive it too. It might even hit the oldest generation of the GNex as well. I have an S4, but my fav ROM is the Google Edition 4.3 which is what I'm running right now! I've been looking on various news articles about 4.4 and I'm extremely excited for it! Apparently, there's rumors that we're going to be receiving a launcher with 4.4 called "Google Experience". It's not a huge update but there are some subtle UI changes which is what I'm dying to get to use. Hopefully it's all what we're looking for!
:good:
Launch
I read, that launch of KitKat should be today.. Does someone know anything more? :fingers-crossed: can´t wait..
As far as I know, it's a rumor.
You guys know only units purchased on a Tuesday will get 4.4......right?????

Yes we will.
However nobody will probably see KitKat until after the Nexus 5 is released...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I predict the 28th of October. The rumors I've seen suggested the 18th or 28th, but I believe it should be released on a Monday and that would suggest the 28th. Anyone else notice that in recent times Android releases have rotated between Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday? 4.3 was released on a Wednesday so 4.4 should be released on a Monday.

Hehe, yeah, I always try to be patient, but I admit I'll probably just use fastboot to update on the first day. At least that way I get a clean start. If I don't like it I can always restore from a nandroid backup.

Gingerbread was released on a Monday, honeycomb on a Tuesday, ice cream sandwich on a Wednesday, jellybean on a Monday, 4.2 on a Tuesday, 4.3 on a Wednesday... 4.4 on a Monday? I'm surprised no one has noticed this before, but then again it could just be a coincidence.

It is and has been a rumor as far as the release date goes. People now would like to say it'll be released on the 28th due to hints on KitKat's twitter page. Who knows. As far as that goes it's all just the media's speculation and none of it is 100% legit.
