Just got the 4.4.2 update..

Just unboxed my Nexus 7 (2012) yesterday which was on 4.2.1 then upgraded to 4.3 & then on to 4.4.2. Apparently the updates were being downloaded in the background. I never found the option that I could use to switch off the auto update operation to manual mode, like I have done on my Galaxy Ace & Grand Duo. Still observing, not doing much as I have not been able to get a screen guard & case yet.

I've read this sentence several times but I'm still not clear what option you're referring to. Can you elaborate?

Sorry my mistake. I should have phrased it better. 'I looked but never found the option that I could use to switch off the auto update operation to manual mode, like I have done on my Galaxy Ace & Grand Duo.'

To my knowledge, the only way to prevent updates is to sever your ties to Google's servers. However this will also kill your usage of their services like the play store.

Indeed, choice is good :)

When I originally tried Vplayer (not recently) and several other video players I had problems with some videos I have; MX Player was the only one that worked well with all off them so I stayed with it. In fact I got to like it so much I paid for the ad-free version even though I don't see the ads anyway on my rooted N7 - a good developer deserves rewarding for his efforts.
