Android 4.2.2 Rolling Out For Nexus Devices

Nexus owners may have a reason to stay
up tonight, as a couple of Reddit users report that Android 4.2.2 has
begun rolling out to the GSM Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 7. This is a
release Google was rumoured to start shipping in Brazilian Nexus 4?s
over a month ago, but nothing ever came of that assertion.
The report mentions that the update is being rolled out to select devices, carrying the JDQ39 build number.
We had earlier reported that the update is expected to roll out by
the mid of February, so it doesn’t really come as a surprise that Google
has started seeding it out.
The update comes in at little over 46MB
and considering the fairly significant size may feature plenty more
under-the-hood changes. Android 4.2.2 is currently rolling out in waves
and will likely hit the Nexus 4 in the following days if previous
deployments are of any indication. For Galaxy Nexus owners there is
an OTA Android 4.2.2 update file that can be manually downloaded and
installed afterwards using ADB Sideload in the recovery.
Unfortunately, there’s nothing too
exciting to report, as the update provides mainly performance and
stability fixes, and allegedly fixes a bug related to streaming music
over a Bluetooth connection.
It’s not surprising that the update
doesn’t deliver many new features, as Google is widely expected to
announce the next major release of its Android mobile operating system,
which is likely to be named Android 5.0, at its Google I/O conference in
May.
