Kit kat for Nexus 7 2 - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Is there any Eta for OTA Kit Kit for the 2013 model?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

unlike others i will not flame you for breaking the cardinal rule of asking for ETAs, that said, the Nexus 7.2 should be amongst the first to receive it, with HTC quoting 15 days from Oct 31st, im hoping the N7 will see it at some point within that time frame.

NOOOOOOO DONT ASSSSKKKKK.
Jk. As the above guy stated, we wont flame ya. I read on a website (I forgot which one, but at this point, there's like over 50 websites stating the same thing) that it should be expected sometime this week or the next week. So pretty soon most likely

The source needs to be released first before custom 4.2 roms are coming. Gooooogleeee do it fast please!

Android-Building google group.
hopefully it's rolling out to us all within a few weeks (2 or 3)
One advantage of having a big family is that someone needs a new phone you give them ur galaxy nexus and get urself a nexus 4 to replace it....
But 4.2 is gonna be so good on both phones!!! I just wonder obout battery life cause im rolling on the extended bat for the gnex... i hope battery life will be much improved with the nexus 4 with its updated hardware..
I was just thinking same thing. When is the 4.2 release for our nexus gonna come? Lol.
The new nexus 4 looks nice but I don't like the non removable battery idea. Oh well. I'm happy with my galaxy nexus anyway. Very happy.
Just got it about a month and a half ago.

When they announced the Nexus 7 back in June....and Jelly bean...I think they released a couple of days later. In theory this should also apply. What do you guys think?

If I recall correctly that's been the norm for most of the android releases. But my memory isn't what it once was so I could be wrong.

[Q] Android 5.0

Any idea when Android 5.0 will be launched for Galaxy Nexus?
I already have a beta. Its awsum! Its like a mix of android/iOS and wp8.

When you pull your head out of your ass and use the search button.
A couple of weeks after the announcement at Google I/O so that would make it early june.(Or maybe july given that the nexus 4 is probably first in line now)

A couple weeks after Google I/O in May. Perhaps Mid-June to Early July. It might be 5.0 or 4.3 but I'm betting on 4.3.

Google brings up 4.3 KeyLimePie not 5.0
The level of maturity here is ridiculous. The guy/gal probably just wants to know if any info has come forward about a release date, they probably don't even know about google i/o, but you guys run off making stupid remarks, would it kill you to just say, no info on it at this time.
Galaxy nexus won't even get official android 5 so don't even bother asking for a release date, whenever the new nexus phone comes out near end of 2013 around october maybe is when android 5 will come out, so you got a few more months to wait yet even if you get the new nexus.

I agree. I believe the note 3 will launch with the newest version, international note 2 will get updated shortly after (I'd say a few months) then the last update will be us.
Only other option would be to get 4.2 out on the note 2 (all variants) as quickly as possible and launch the note 3 with 4.3 in late October. I can't really see this happening though in my opinion. The less versions Samsung and the providers have to check and test the better it is on everyone.

The other option will NEVER happen. If they were to release 4.3 for our phones before the note 3 comes out..... they'd be shooting themselves in the foot because then there would be no reason to upgrade. This phone is already on the edge of perfect. New OS is really the only reason I would upgrade when the time comes for me.

One manufacturer out of how many?
Look at the history of android, that happened maybe twice.
6 months at least is typical (I would even say expected)

That would be before the official build hits us
But what about leaked builds
The DNA got leaked builds of sense 5 like 2 months after it was released
And there still isn't the official build for it
We will have it whether it be official or not
But it will hit us real soon
I say 2 months tops before leak

Hello,
Is it the New Nexus 7 released in 2013?
If yes, I am not even aware it is available yet although I did read in the news that a man from China got it by mistake while shipping it from USA.
Do not tell me that you are that guy
Well, if you have the old model, Nexus 7 2012, then you have posted this in the wrong thread.
If you have the new Nexus 7, It depends that you can run custom roms or not. No one has seen the binaries or flash images for the New Nexus 7 so I can not say it might work or not. You might have to take the risk if you still want to try.
Also, I think unless LTE is integrated with some system files, you will be cool to go and not be able to use communications but that is still highly unlikely because from the old Nexus 7 LTE model, I know the source binaries were quite different.
You can even hard brick your device.
My advice, enjoy the LTE till it is official.
I work for a mobile company in the UK. So I have a final test one. A nexus 2013 LTE.

Probably never will make any voice calls, they so far go on overlaid 3g networks due to lots of upgrades required in the backhaul. Voip, ie. CSipSimple, is the way to go. And you will need a headset.
The Phone App is in the filesystem but doesn't show in the ui.
I'm hoping this will be different as it uses a different chip than the nexus 7 3g(2012)
The 2013 N7 LTE should be using a APQ8064-1AA + MDM9615A + WTR1605L,
which is very similar to the APQ8064 + MDM9615A + WTR1605L on the N4.
While it might be (hypothetically) possible for it to do so in hardware, it could still be disabled.
Both the N4 and 2013 N7's wifi/bt chips also support fm radio at the silicon level, but it's disabled at the chip level.
The LTE on the N4 is disabled at the firmware level (as the lte mod is due to leftover code, if it were not for that it doesnt have LTE period)
It could have voice calls disabled at the silicon level, chip level, firmware level, or rom level, since they can easily spec modems that have broken voice call support since it's not used in the first place.

Yes, but it'll take a little bit longer because of the radio. Expect to get the OTA around/just before the Nexus 9 LTE version becomes available.

Use unofficial roms, they are working pretty well.
This piece is claiming LTE/3G rollout beginning early December.
With all the issues haunting lollipop, it may be better to wait.
certification seems to be the issue
