Did you get the Android 4.3 OTA on the N4 Yet?

Apparently 4.3 was downloaded without my knowledge, cutting into the data bandwidth. I responded to the notification to Install it Saturday afternoon. The debugging scrollbar seemed to hang for far too long at about 17%, but after a session at the local swimming pool it was completed and rebooted.

I've avoided (by un-installing after trying) the Gmail and Maps updates while using 4.2.2, but am now stuck with them. 3 touches instead of two to delete a simple email, and I still can't figure out how to use the new Google Maps one-handed at articulated arm's length.

Feeling too old anymore, somewhat resistant to nonsensical change ... and not sure what to do about it. I stopped and got some cold Rainier cherries but they didn't help much. I couldn't even get Maps to navigate "Home" without endless selections.

What data is lost when you clear the framework services data?

I have done this in the past with my Gnex to push the updates. No issues.

Or maybe this?

Not sure if this is connected or not, but I went to update the maps program and kept getting an error message. I goggled the error message and it told me to delete y Google account from the phone and then sign in again.

It worked. Not a good video, but it does the trick.

If you have access to and use Facebook, "like" Nexus 4 or go view it, that page has been posting various tips on how to force the upgrade.

1) go to Settings > Apps > All

2) Find Google Services Framework

3) Force stop Google Services Framework

4) Clear data for Google Services Framework

5) Go back to Settings and check for the upgrade

I did this three or four times and then it upgraded.

I also then has to unlink my GMail account and re-add it as... I got errors from the Play store on updates.

Following this worked perfectly :D ... I got the error on Maps download until I removed and re-added Google account.
