Android 4.2.2 is now Available



After a successful rollout for its Nexus brothers and sisters, it appears the Nexus 4 is now set to receive its taste of Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. While the 4.2.2 update, for the most part, addresses bug fixes for things like Bluetooth audio streaming and even small UI tweaks, it does look like the update manages to kill off that limited LTE functionality devs found hidden inside the device. Bummer.

Those of you that hate waiting around for these pesky updates to hit your device can manually download the 51MB update direct from Google. Providing you have a completely stock device, updating the manual way should prove relatively easy for those that are comfortable with these sorta things (no root necessary). Have fun and godspeed.

Folks with the Galaxy Nexus with the “yakju” build line — which is most folks who bought the device internationally and outside the Google Play Store — can now download the latest version of Android. It’ll bring you to Android 4.2.2, build JDQ39, but you’ll have to be coming from Android 4.2.1, build JOP40D, to flash it. You can install it through a custom recovery, sideload it using ADB, or grab a rooted version from the quick folks over at XDA.

The upgrade started rolling out to Nexus devices everywhere this week, and it brought a couple of new minor features and fixed a whole lot of bugs, including a fix for audio streaming over Bluetooth A2DP. This will be your best bet of getting it loaded up on your yakju device if Google hasn’t already delivered the goods straight to you, so get to it!
