Probably old, but apparently, the version of 4.3 in AOSP is a newer version than the factory images/OTA one. Newer one has a new N4 kernel and GPU fixes.
Oh Googy and its self-fragmentation.

Would you rather updates that break your phone?

Hmm? The version in AOSP was published by Google. It's the final version of 4.3. A Google engineer mistakenly thought it was only for the N7, so he used the earlier build (the one we got) for the N4 factory image, according to XDA.

We're at the point where the only thing that matters is the display and battery life. Who cares about Amazon's pile of crap?

Kindle still is the only tablet/mobile device that will play Amazon videos.
If the new Kindle Fire 7" really has a Snapdragon 800 for a similar price I can't think of a reason not to get it. It will be rooted and run Cyanogenmod before long, and updating to the newest version of Android right away is entirely overrated at this point. Hell, 4.3 isn't much different than 4.1 and 4.2 destroyed the user experience on the last Nexus 7. Day 1 Google updates don't mean much to me at this point as a prospective cheap tablet buyer.
But from what I have seen the standard Kindle Fire UI is trash, so there's that.

Isn't there an iOS app?

So you can't watch prime through your chrome on your Nexus phone or tablet?
Anybody?
I've tried several apps, but none of them seem to think I have it partitioned right (though they acknowledge the root)
I don't want to brick this thing.
Well tablet capabilities in terms of gaming have improved immensely. Just look at games like Modern Combat 4...

My Nexus 10 finally got the 4.3 update.
Installed it about 2 minutes ago and I'm a little worried how slow it's feeling. Hopefully just needs some time to settle. :\

I'm really interested in switching from the iPhone back to Android (I had a G2X many moons ago)
I'm on Verizon and the Maxx is really interesting to me because of the battery life. Is there a way to get COMPLETELY stock on it? I don't know anything about bootloaders and all that jazz.

The version they've showed looks about as stock as any OEM. Literally the three things that people have caught as different is a different quick settings button, the local share feature and the (ugly) widgets.
Not good enough. The negatives still outweigh the positives. It really doesn't matter for me what Amazon ships. Ill be happy because it pushes competition, but I wouldn't ever buy one. I'm not going to deal with trying to get Play Store access, all my app, videos, games, and book compatibility and dealing with that mess of an OS fork they have going.

1) if it doesn't suck
2) if battery is great
3) if google doesn't pull US ONLY FOR A WHILEEEE
so basically I probably won't because they'll flop on one of those.

thilly google and their inconsistent canadian ways.
Can't you just buy an unlocked phone?

Rogers exclusive I believe. I think you're on Bell though, right?
-Pyromaniac-
Member
I am for now on Bell though I'll probably be on rogers within the year. But I thought Rogers was going to be carrier exclusive. I thought it didn't rule out google still selling it on the play store to use wherever you want.
if google will sell it to us then I don't see why not.

Handtec just said it won't be sold in Euroland as of yet. Probably meant unlocked, but still

If google sell it unlock in Asia or Europe then you can buy it and use it. What google doesn't sell in Canada doesn't matter/
-Pyromaniac-

but it kinda defeats the value proposition if I'm gonna have to pay extra to get it shipped here or something. That's assuming google isn't shipping to canada at all and is only US.
Google should always couple Canada with USA. We're basically the same shit. Like is it really that much harder.

People aren't even expecting the Motox to be good anymore, just cheap.
I'll laugh if it's $399 or something.
