It was only yesterday that the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update became available for a variety of Nexus devices. The GSM Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi), and Nexus 10 were all able to be updated to the latest version. However, Google’s latest smartphone, the Nexus 4, was left out of the loop, disappointing a lot of users. Now those of you with a Nexus 4 can rejoice because the Android 4.2.2 OTA has just become available for you.

You are also now able to toggle your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on/off by long-pressing their respective squares. Finally, there are new sound notifications for both wireless charging and the low battery signal.

If you’re an AdBlock Plus user, be aware that the new Android 4.2.2 update does prevent the app from working.
