Official 4.2 issues thread

[fxsarge]

Yeah guys don't let this thread scare you from updating. 4.2.2 is just around the corner. I think these issues are no where near as bad as other tablets with OTA updates like Asus and Samsung.

I think this will be fixed quickly. There is too large of a market for bluetooth speakers now. Its HoT! They wont want to miss out on the holiday rush.

Anyone else having calendar issues since the update?  I can't get my work calendar to show anymore, just my personal one.  I can't find the menu to select which ones to show.

I solved my problem by installing the free Business calendar app.  I can use it to select the calendars to view, and then see them in the default calendar which display I much prefer.

I agree, I've just unrooted my S2 and gone back to stock ICS because I wanted to use some apps that cannot be used on a rooted device and I think I've had more freezes and reboots than I did when it was running CM10.
OEM updates whether OTA or not often have far more bugs than Nexus devices, most of the issues people are encountering are 3rd party related such as applications and connection to 3rd party devices.

With the benefit of receiving the latest version of the Android OS, we will also see the apps that fail with the new OS and the efforts of developers to correct issues in their apps. I look for the apps that generate revenue to be fixed generally more quickly than the free ones. Also many developers support multiple apps, so your favorite app that is broken, may not be as high on their priority list as you would like, but give it some time and you will see it fixed. If you don't want to deal with app incompatibility, then monitor the compatibility issues in our forum and wait on the OS upgrade until development catches up to the latest version of Android.

If I dl 4,2 and I experience problems, is there a way to roll back to 4.1.2 (which caused me no problems)?

You can but it's a little complicated, I'm sure the forum would be willing to help you though.

OK, I've installed JB 4.2.  Everything seems to work just fine. 
Operation seems a bit faster than with 4.1.2 but just an impression. 
Google Clock widget has changed.  I liked the appearance of the old (analog) one better, but new one now includes stop-watch, count-down, and alarms.

[JayJ]

I like the features of the new clock app but is it me or does it just not fit in with the rest of the AOSP Holo theme??

@gp123, you cab change the style in settings, from this...



to this...

There are free clock unlock screen alternative widgets on google play. Check the apps section for links.
They work as regular widgets too.

What app are you using for that nicer unlock screen?

Links are there.

I don't use the unlock screen but that looks great.

Your screen never locks?
