Finally got the update from 4.2 to 4.4.2
Was unable to get OTA since they stopped it. They must have fixed the bricking and bugs and resume ota.

Has the update fixed any bugs? I still have black boxes in webview. Usually followed by the screen going wacky forcing me to long press power to restart.

New Update

I got it apparently overnight and was notified that a new update had arrived but since it was already downloaded I don't know how big it was. I had to reboot to install it and after it restarted it went through the updating apps process and I noticed that it only updated 78 apps. I've only had it for about a month or so but when I first got it I got the OTA update to 4.4.2 and when that installed it updated more than 140 apps.

The only noticeable change I have found is that it installed a new kernel dated June 24 and the software version also showsb the June 24 date. The only other change that I have noticed for certain is that the email app disappeared. I noticed that right away because I have three email accounts other than gmail which I was reading through that app.

    Really?! The AOSP and in-app browsers don't fill up with black boxes and then crash for you?

    Makes me wonder whether I just need to backup to jelly bean and try updating again.

    I've had the tablet since November, and never had a single issue.
