4.2 is out?

Anyone else finding the new lock screen generally quite buggy?

In particular, occasionally the clock widget expands to cover up the unlock ring...

Its not a bug. If instead of the clock widget you had something like msgs on ur home lock screen you would see that touching the widget expands it displaying more of the info. If you click on the little padlock again it will go back to normal again. Of course the same thing will happen when you've swiped to either side and return to the home lock screen as it assumes ur already previewing the widgets...hope I made sense...

Also new is daydream in display options (like a screen saver for when ur charging or docked)

A two finger swipe will display the quick settings panel straight up instead of a regular swipe and a click in the icon.

Photo sphere and other enhancements in camera and gallery though I hate that horrible grey background when viewing pictures...enough of this already...gimme a simple black background please google! That goes for settings and anywhere else they have grey

Also as seen earlier new gmail allows pinch to zoom but has to be enabled in settings

Also supports triple tap to zoom like in ios. Has to be enabled in accessibility.

I believe it scans and warns before allowing downloads of potentially dangerous apps.

New clock with timer, stopwatch and world clock. Thanks Google. But have to scroll manually through cities list! No search function! REALLY!?

Edit: swipe gestures available on native keyboard.

Can have personalised msg on home lock screen

There's probably more but that's all I can remember.

One interesting item is that there are new options for the lock screen. If you move the lock screen (much like switching between pages on the home screen) to the left, it brings up the camera. If you move it to the right it shows widgets you can add to the home screen: a calendar, digital clock, Gmail preview, messaging, and Sound Search

I dont have the option to have sound search on the lock screen! :( only see gmail, messaging, calender and clock...am I missing something?
 
Have you tried going to apps>All>Google Services Framework then clear data. If you go back to the check for update, it will show 12/31/1969. Hit check for update. It took me 3 tries doing that for it to finally show the update. Worked on both mine and my wifes.

thanks for the info, very helpful.

any idea if its possible to make the personalized home screen message have multiple lines, instead of just the one line scrolling across the screen?

btw to everybody wondering, got my update OTA yesterday afternoon on unlocked GSM version.

I got it yesterday afternoon.
I started using the Nexus as my daily driver back a month ago when I just about destroyed my One S in a freak drop kick.
(literally, dropped the phone and kicked it in my attempts to catch it...)

There is one issue that is about to make me go mad...
Every email I get the phone vibrates no matter what I do.
I can't seem to turn that off... :eek:

Otherwise it's been fine.

If you're using Gmail go to Gmail > Settings > Email Address@gmail.com > Rington & Vibrate > Check Notify Once

I think 4.2 feels slower than 4.1.2.

It's still smooth, but it feels like there's a lot more crap going on.

photosphere is fun!

I don't think it's slower. It actually did feel a little slower, until I rebooted, and then it was up screaming again.

Photosphere is awesome!
