It'll take developers a day or so to get their apps updated for compatibility.

Still waiting on the Nexus 7 update. It's a small update overall but Google doesn't wait to update and release new things. They've been doing a lot of updating independent of the big updates lately.

Gmail, Maps, Google play, Music have all gotten big updates recently and new apps like Google Hangouts and Google Keep.

The camera update is much needed. They lay out of the previous floating menu was bad.

I'm still waiting for the OTA update on my Nexus 4. I do agree that the Nexus FHD looks really neat and I will probably get one.

Still waiting on 4.3 for my GN, but my Nexus 10 got it today, and holy hell the TRIM update is a godsend. Was starting to get a lot of slowdown and the update just blew it away.

Did you get the one directly from Google? How much was it?

Yeah, it's $60 which is a lot, but I didn't like any of the other ones I found.

You could always just sideload the update. I did that the night it got put out. Sadly something screwed up and I can't use my front camera atm.

I got the OTA two days ago on my Nexus 7. I wasn't experiencing the huge slowdowns that some were reporting but my 2012 N7 is super crisp again.

Blargh -I had just bought a fstrim program 3 days before 4.3 released to cure my insufferably slow Galaxy Nexus. It does seem somewhat faster now.

Anyone with a Nexus 4 having issues with email widgets since 4.3? My emails won't push unless I open the inbox rather than notifying me when they arrive.

I had the same problem. A little digging and it appears that the new tabbed Gmail inbox was the cause of my blockage.

I went for the suggested simple cure and stopped using the tabbed inboxes. The notifications have started to my phone again.

My problem isn't only with the gmail widget, it is also with my Shaw emails and my work emails. I just use the stock google widget and it has been awesome until I installed 4.3...

From the reading I have been doing 4.3 broke a lot of Nexus 4's.

At one time you could, then a patch came down and you couldn't, then you could...sort of...

For those of you that are interested...

So unless I'm crazy, the 8GB is on for 299 at futureshop through koodo. But I can buy it through them without a contract, so is there any reason why I shouldn't do that as opposed to through the google website for 309 plus tax and shipping?

And the biggest rumour out there now is that the Nexus 5 will be based off of the new Moto X, rather than the LG G2...as previously speculated.

this rumour comes from Taylor Wimberly, former AndroidandMe writer and someone, the Android community claims, has been pretty much on the money when it comes to Motorola rumours in the past.

“Motorola will release a Nexus smartphone in Q4 (that is not the Moto X)," says Wimberly via his Google+ page.

I think it is the 16GB for $299 which makes it an even better deal

I hope they continue with the Nexus 4 name, but if true that's good. The moto X is a smart design. I love the Nexus 4, the Moto X and the HTC one for having nice clean professional looks.
