Hasta La Gadget!

Android 4.2.2 began arriving on an assortment of Nexus devices yesterday with “performance and stability” improvements listed as the only changes, but Android Police dug into Google’s change logs and compiled a list of small tweaks. With the update on board, Play Store downloads now display the time left to their completion, and Android Debug Bridge security is shored-up with the addition of a whitelist. Now, WiFi and Bluetooth tiles can be toggled by a long press in the notification Quick Settings. The release also makes hardware play a tone when it begins to charge wirelessly with less than 95% juice left, and uses new low battery and cord-free charging chimes for the Nexus 4. Reports about possible Bluetooth fixes are mixed according to Android Police, and a reference to patching them up hasn’t been spotted just yet.

There’s still some doubt as to whether or not Android 4.2.2 is real, or just a figment of the imagination for Nexus 4 owners wanting the latest code. While we can’t guarantee that last group’s satisfaction just yet, SmartMania.cz may have provided the next best thing. As part of an overview of the Nexus 4, the Czech site ever-so-casually shows at the 6:30 mark that its device is running the unannounced OS. The 4.2.2 sighting is almost incidental to the rest of the clip, although the time given to the rest of the software suggests there’s no major differences visible to the everyday observer. We’ve reached out to Google and will let you know if the firmware is authentic and coming to other devices. In the meantime, the latest batch of potential evidence is visible after the break.
