for those who have 4.2.2...



Can you *#4636#*#* and go under phone information and see the set preferred network type is changed? Im REALLY hoping google doesnt block out the LTE in the kernel and the settings.

<-- lives in canada and uses the full LTE service.

Was gonna post about this too, i figured there should be a 4.2.2 update eventually as there are some little bugs still present in 4.2.1.

That .44 baseband though might be worth a test :p

It's most probably a fake Google puts out the factory image at the same time as the ota. No factory image is out.

Nobody said it was OTA and like how the US reviewers received a build of 4.2 before it was released (beta in that sense) this could be beta as well. The USA reviewers reecived an OTA update the Sunday before it launched to the full final 4.2.

The phone just came out in Brazil and Malaysia so they could be getting the most up to date build to review just like Google/LG did in the USA.

Not that I am disagreeing with this possibly being a fake, but the 2 is inline perfectly. I just check with Photoshop. (Though, it isn't hard to fake these things.)

My first thought to that is why bother fake it in photoshop when you can just simply edit a text file (build.prop) and change it to 4.2.7 if you wanna? That way you can make android 5.0 and it would look perfectly aligned and you cuold even make a video of it since it's pulling that information from the text file.

Once in build.prop you can edit the following things:

-edit Android Version by locating ro.build.version.release= and changing the current Build Version.
- Edit your Model # by locating ro.product.model= and changing your model #
- change your product brand by locating ro.product.brand=

It's not that hard to do.

I completely agree. I just opened Photoshop to zoom in and check the lineage of the numbers. Photoshop wouldn't be my method of trying to fake something like this, I was just testing what the user above had said about the numbers being out of line, etc.

    1) OTA Update are not delayed by the fact that the Nexus 4 is not "fully AOSP supported"
    2) The Nexus 4 isn't FULLY supported by AOSP. Why ? Blame Qualcomm/LG. If you don't know how the stock kernel on Mako works, you'll learn something. The freq of the CPU is changed when you touch the screen. max_freq is still at 1.5Ghz but the min_freq is pushed to 1Ghz when you touch the screen and goes down to 384Mhz if you don't touch it for x milliseconde and the load is low.

    How does this work ? mpdecision. What's this ? Can you eat it ?

    Nope. Well, I wouldn't try ! mpdecision is a binay closed source by Qualcomm. Why is it closed ? because Qualcomm don't want someone steal their fantastic idea (DERP RAMP THE MIN FREQ TO 1GHZ WE ARE GENIUS).

    So what ? So. Mpdecision is NOT a part of the source for Nexus 4 (obivously, it's closed sauce) BUT this binary is pulled from the Nexus 4 by developpers.

    Which means : The official source of Google for Nexus 4 is 99.9% complete, few binaries like this one aren't open. OTA will come no matter what (this has nothing to do with Google update). Also this is not a problem for developpers. Obviously look at all the ROM we have :) but, for exemple, we couldn't change the mpdecision binary to "hey, it's alright to bump the freq when screen is touched, but go only to 912Mhz, not 1Ghz". Hence why many kernel dev like Franco or Faux did their own way of changing freq/pluggin cores in their kernel ;)

    Damn, wish I'm clear, already drunk too many beers bloody lord :D

    Here's what I got:

    W/RecoverySystem( 1007): !!! REBOOTING TO INSTALL /cache/de8b8d101614.signed-occam-JDQ39-from-JOP40D.de8b8d10.zip !!!

    Not sure if Google will OTA 4.2.2, given the 100 or so devices they have shipped, they might just send an intern to your house to update it for you:p

    or we'll get an ota notification, but when when we click to download it'll say the update is on backorder and should ship in 6-7 weeks:banghead:

    I think it's become pretty evident what's going on here: the Illuminati don't want us to have this update on the Nexus 4 because it would make our phones TOO powerful and then we would be able to pick up the frequencies of the cloaked alien vessels that hover in the upper-atmosphere as they bombard our brains with radiation in an attempt to prepare us for their arrival and our enslavement. The Illuminati (of course) will become the "chosen leaders" of humanity as we are forced into our new roles.

    (I mean, if we're going to go with a conspiracy theory, why not at least make it an interesting one?)
