Android 4.2.2 on Nexus 4 finally arrives

Ronnie Bulaong Leave a comment

Google’s current flagship handset, LG Nexus 4 can now join the ranks of its siblings (Samsung Galaxy Nexus, ASUS Nexus 7 and Samsung Nexus 10) as the online search giant released the Android 4.2.2 update for the glass-backed handset.

Earlier last month, we’ve reported that some users in Brazil and Malaysia we’re surprised that their Nexus 4 was already running on the latest version of Jellybean right off the bat. At that time, information about what the update brings other than the usual bug fixes.

Fortunately, other users who’ve already received the update shared some insights on what upgrades the patch have brought. In summary, this is what they’ve found out.

• App download notification now shows the remaining percentage
• Toggles on the Quick Settings
• New sound notifications for Wireless Charging and Battery Low.

As you can see, the update doesn’t bring in a whole lot of new features to the handset. Significant or not, we can all be thankful to Google for making sure that their devices are well-maintained and issues are being ironed out. Speaking of issues, the update is also said to finally put an end to the Nexus 4’s unofficial LTE support. This shouldn’t concern you too much though as the hardware only makes use LTE Band 4, a band that is not being used in in our country.

Sad to say, we’re still waiting to be notified for the update to come on our Nexus 4 (JOP40D build). Users who have already received the 4.2.2 update is said to own the smartphone with JDQ39 build. We’ll keep checking on our device and we’ll update this post once we got the update. If you can’t though, you can download the patch directly from Google and manually install it on your device.

Jellybean update for SGS2 now official

Ronnie Bulaong Leave a comment

After all the custom/unofficial ROMs and the fuss about the handset not getting the Jellybean update because of its hardware configuration, the long wait is finally over as Samsung brings the highly anticipated upgrade to their ex-flagship smartphone.

SGS2

The roll out started in Spain with other regions pledged to follow soon afterwards. Unlike the ICS update, this one brings significant difference to the ageing handset and brings it at par with its younger siblings (in the OS standpoint at least). Details of the update can be found here.

Local roll-out date remains a mystery until now, but we’ll update this post once we get news about it. For the time being, it’s best if you check your phone for the said update once in a while and maybe tip us once you have it.

Android 4.2.2 update already?

Ronnie Bulaong Leave a comment

Some reports have been circulating around the web about an unannounced incremental update (Android 4.2.2) for the Android Jellybean (no official announcement made as of the moment so we can’t confirm).


This news started when some folks from Brazil and Malaysia were surprised to see that their brand spanking new Nexus 4 is running on Android 4.2.2 when they checked the phone’s settings. Some folks who already have the latest Google phone reported that they also got the update OTA.

So what’s the buzz with this new version of the buttery smooth OS? Not a whole lot actually. In fact, reports suggest that the update is only a bug-fixer rather than being a completely different beast. And because Google has yet to comment about the said version of Android, there isn’t a lot of information to go around with.

So Nexus 4 users out there, check you device’s OS version, you might just have the newest version of Android without you even knowing about it. Oh and don’t forget to hit the comments or tip us if you do.

Galaxy Note 10.1 WiFi gets Jellybean update

Ronnie Bulaong Leave a comment

A month after its data-enabled sibling got updated; the Wi-Fi only version (GT-N8010) of the S-Pen-touting tablet has finally joined the Jellybean bandwagon.

The 441MB Android 4.1.1 firmware is said to be delivered via an Over-The-Air update with users in Germany getting it first. There’s no word when the update will be rolled out to other countries, but since the update is already out in the wild, we’re assuming that it wouldn’t take that long before users are prompted to download and install the update.

Other than the file size and which country got the update first, our source didn’t provide too much info about the things that this update brings to the 10-inch slate. But given that the GT-8010 and GT-N8000 doesn’t differ much in terms of specs, we can safely say that the former will also be treated with the Samsung Premium Suite Upgrade just like its 3G-enabled counterpart. Here’s a look at the things that this Jellybean update may bring to the WiFi only model of the Galaxy Note 10.1:

In addition to the Premium Suite Upgrade, there are of course the usual upgrades that Jellybean has to offer such as improved notification bar and performance enhancements that Project Butter brings to the table.

As mentioned earlier we’re not sure when the update will reach our shore. So we’d appreciate it if someone will be kind enough to tip us or comment on this post as soon as they receive the update.

Devices that will soon get Jellybean update

Ronnie Bulaong Leave a comment

It’s been little over 5 months since Google released the latest iteration of the Android OS and since then, manufacturers have pushed the update to their eligible devices. Now here’s a new set of devices from different manufacturers which will be getting the update in the next coming weeks.


razr

Motorola Mobility

The Google owned handset manufacturer has recently released a table which contains the handsets and tablets that will be updated to Jelly bean. As with other upgrades, the roll out date will be different depending on the country and carrier. These are the handsets in APAC (Asia Pacific) that will get the Android 4.1 with corresponding target roll out date.

MOTOROLA RAZR (XT910 / XT910S / XT910K) – Planned update, but no specific target date
MOTOROLA RAZR HD – Update rolls out starting this month
MOTOROLA RAZR M – Update rolls out by Q1 2013 starting in Australia
MOTOROLA RAZR V – Planned update, but no specific target date

Motorola Mobility is also looking to upgrade their other handsets such as RAZR MAXX, DROID 4 and DROID BIONIC in the future, but didn’t mention any target date for the update.

Samsung

The Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Wi-Fi joins the ranks of its 10-inch siblings Galaxy Note 10.1 and Nexus 10 as Samsung announces that it’ll be updated to Jelly bean. The roll out started since last week with British users getting the update first.

tab2

With the update well on its way, we’re expecting the local roll out will come in the next coming weeks. Unfortunately, for those of you who owns the data-enabled version of the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, you have to wait a little longer for the official update.

ASUS

It hasn’t been that long since ASUS unveiled the second PadFone, but the company has already released the Jelly bean update for it.

PadFone2

According to our source, the overall feel of the UI is pretty much the same as it was when it’s running on ICS. The nifty features that the Android 4.1 update brings to the ASUS PadFone 2 includes updated notification bar, Google Now and Google offline voice typing.

Update: @Football4PDA, a trustworthy source for HTC leaks, has tweeted a handful of HTC handsets which will be updated to Jelly bean.

To keep things a bit interesting, the devices mentioned on the tweet were concealed behind its corresponding codenames such as Fireball, Evita and Totem. Thankfully our source decoded each handset’s true identity and provided the list of these HTC phones.

HTC

Evitare – One X+ LTE
Evita – One XL
Fireball – Droid Incredible 4G LTE
Jewel – EVO 4G LTE
K2 – One SV
Totem C2 – One VX
Ville – One S
Ville C2 – One S C2
Valente – Droid DNA/J/Butterfly/

Unfortunately, @Football4PDA didn’t mention when the update will start making its way to our beloved handsets or which one will get it first. Looking at the brighter side though (and assuming that the source is right), it’s good to know that HTC is trying to bring their devices up to speed with other Android handsets by updating it to Jelly bean.
