Has anyone received the kitkat update OTA yet?

El Presidente · Nov 22, 2013

^^He's totally not kidding.

I'm running a custom ROM on mine, so I'll flash the images manually over the weekend. Once Mrs Presidente has settled I'll go and have a look at hers (she told me there's a weird icon in the status bar which I'm presuming is the update notification).

Mrs. Presidente is exempt from my admonishment however.

Wow... it's been 10 days and it seems that many of us are still waiting for KitKat. How long is this rollout supposed to take?

It varies, but the rollout was held up due to bugs in the initial release AFAIK.

Google Engineer Dan Morrill Sheds Some Light On The Nexus OTA Process, Urges You To Never Clear Google Service Framework Data

That gives some good insight in how OTAs are supposed to roll

I just accepted the OTA on my other halfs device. It's late here, I'll have a mess about tomorrow.

I got my update last night. It does feel slicker now! Very happy

Highland Ranger · Nov 23, 2013

Received last night on my n7 2012. Need to check the 2013 to see if it got it as well.

peggsie · Nov 23, 2013

received yesterday on my 2012 N7. Working fine

Unforgiven · Nov 23, 2013

...still waiting...

This is like when I bought mine from prerelease. I was about the last to receive it.:rofl:

I just got the update ota about an hour ago, now am stuck in "No command" loop.

Me too. What's the fix?

Edit: Mine was rooted stock but I lost root a couple of updates ago and never bothered with re-rooting. I wonder if TWRP is the culprit.

Edit: I can get into fastboot so I guess I'll have to flash a factory image.

Davdi · Nov 23, 2013

Still waiting..... (2012 N7)

Jackie222 · Nov 23, 2013

Yep, I'm in the same boat.

We are like the Goonies.

Keifer, were you running a custom recovery when you applied the OTA?

I just got it this morning and upgraded a few minutes ago. Meh.

Now to go search for what I got because all I see so far is printing and white font for clock and whatever up in the top right.

70363c1413 · Nov 23, 2013

Got mine updated last night.

So.... when are we going to get 4.5?

colchiro · Nov 24, 2013

Still no 4.5 here....

Deleted User · Nov 24, 2013

I received it yesterday afternoon. Some minor differences but now it seems to be have a noticeable lag. Its not constant just every now and then. The only thing else I did was change from boat back to chrome. I've been deleting apps that I don't use any more. I think I'm going back to boat or maybe looking at another browser

colchiro · Nov 24, 2013

You can expect lag after getting an update until the caches are rebuilt.

John Bean · Nov 24, 2013

Indeed. As for browsers, it's a matter of taste more than anything else. I use Chrome for preference, although I used Boat in the days of the old un-named "stock" browser.

I don't want or need Flash and Chrome checks all the other boxes for me, with good performance and (most importantly for me) synchronised passwords/bookmarks/etc with all my other devices no matter what their OS - I use Android, Windows, ChromeOS, Linux... which does away with the need of third-party apps and plugins to achieve similar functionality with other browsers.

I couldn't easily go back to not having the ability to move to another device and continue where I left off with a simple click/tap, but as I said it's all a matter of personal preferences and priorities.

I'm in the UK and my update was waiting on my Nexus 7 this morning.

kevinlufc · Nov 25, 2013

Silly question. I'm on holiday at the moment ,Mexico. As long as I have a decent WiFi connection I assume I will still receive the update when it's my turn. I have a 2012 WiFi N7.

I don't see any reason why you shouldn't, but I can't say for sure.:dontknow:

joesixpack · Nov 25, 2013

Got mine over the weekend. Haven't noticed much of anything yet because I haven't dove into it yet. Did notice one thing right off the bat - Google FINALLY GOT RID OF THAT STUPID BOLD HOUR NUMBER IN THE LOCKSCREEN CLOCK! Pardon the pun, but its about time!

valorian · Nov 25, 2013

I got it this weekend. I have not noticed any major differences yet.

Has anyone received the kitkat update OTA yet?
