Google Android 4.2 on Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Why couldn't they just give the toggle WiFi, Bluetooth buttons via two single swipe of notification bar?

right. i would have liked a quick option to switch between 2G and 3G. but it's ok. i like to keep the bar on the homescreen so am used to it. :\

There is 2G-3G widget available for that. But yes, default option would be welcome. BTW my dad is loving new gesture typing. I hope Swift Key doesn't come up with whole new app just for their 'flow'.

lol. i do not see them fragmenting especially considering android 4.2 finally has a keyboard that actually is usable too bad majority of devices in the market would not feature this keyboard as manufacturers bundle their own ****ed up keyboards on their phones.

 

[Hardik7]

Yeah right. And they should have added more widgets for the lockscreen. It's nice to have the access to mail, calendar etc instantly but just four won't do.

 

[Sushubh]

lol. i think four are too many considering each of them requires a full screen swipe!

 

[Hardik7]

I think it gives more choices.

Another weird thing I came across is that the alarm tone of "Hassium" is changed. I remember setting it up as alarm tone in 4.1 as it was loudest among the others. Now with 4.2 the Hassium tone is radically different but with the same name.

Edit: Just found the original Hassium alarm tone.

Yakju users have still not got anywhere in the world, as google has still not released factory images for it. this is pretty bad considering takju/yakju are officially supported by google unlike yakjuxx (supported by samsung)and there's no distinction between the 2 except the google wallet.

i had yesterday flashed to an takju image downloaded from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images. without any loss of data/app. and after flashing to takju 4.1.2 immediately i got the OTA for 4.2
