It is very sad to see that we android users has to root our phone and risk damaging it anytime a new android update is release. The OTA update is not readily available in some locations. Can't android learn from ios and update similar way like ios where all you need is to touch the update button and you are good to go. ANDROID be CAREFUL there is big competition out there. You have to look into this issue , is very important. Thanks.

On THREE devices only? Fragment OS. It's just sad how majority of android users still need to "root" their phones and risk bricking just to get an update by installing unofficial and unsupported roms from online forums. Shame...

Vidafone Romania still has to roll out jb 4.2 for gnexus, the current version is 4.1.1. So probably in 6 months I'll receive the 4.2.2 update. :|

Also on topic, As you all see, just because you have a google nexus device DOES NOT mean that you'll get the updates first. See the Verizon Galaxy Nexus is left out in the cold AGAIN.

And NO your Galaxy S3 and Note 2 will have to wait til later this year for an update. They are not Nexus devices. Samsung will take care of you all.

Meanwhile, I'm working on porting Ubuntu for Mobiles onto my S3.

Yea, I'm actually capable enough in the tech world to do it myself.
