Google made its latest Android, the Jelly Bean 4.3, available when it outed the second Nexus 7 last week and there should be a rush of gadget owners wanting to get a taste of the new mobile OS.

But don't jump too quick, according to Phone Review, as the patch, apart from delivering cool features and greater stability, seems to cause havoc on early adopters, especially those wielding the LG-assembled Nexus 4, which is nearing its twelfth month in circulation.

The Nexus 4 is getting the stock Jelly Bean bump up so it remains unclear if the problems encountered by owners of the handset are exclusive to the Nexus circle, meaning those who have download the file and installed on it on their non-Nexus devices are free of the reported troubles.

So far three possible issues have been identified by Phone Review and they are discussed briefly in the following paragraphs.

Device crash or endless boot cycles

There were reports that right after the update procedure, the Nexus 4 will start acting up - either freezing once it reaches the X splash screen or going through a boot-loop that is only ended when users force the device to power down.

Obviously, simply restarting the phone will not correct the anomaly. Two solutions were mentioned in the Phone Review report - either go for the factory reset resort or reinstall the older Jelly Bean version.

Speed and battery slump plus Galley glitch

Users also reported of slowed down performance and trimmed down battery hours in the immediate aftermath of the Jelly Bean 4.3 update. These issues were the plagues identified in earlier Android update procedures to it came as surprise to many that either Google failed to address the matter or it simply recurred.

Also, the Gallery seems to have taken a funky mood in 4.3 as it is all messed up, said Phone Review. "Thumbnails of deleted pics are still shown in the Gallery, and when you click on the thumbnail the later pictures come up," the same report quoted one user complaint as saying.

Netflix incompatibility

Lastly, Gotta Be Mobile has reported that Netflix is "not working properly on Android 4.3 as users are reporting that the application is hanging up." Luckily, Google already got wind of the gripes and is already working on a solution. However, no time frame was given by the tech giant the fix will be dispatched.

The reports somehow pointed to the advantage of using devices that stand on skinned Android. The updates may take too long to arrive but at least the dependability level is not too shaky.

As Android experts have been harping about, Nexus or Google Edition phones is not for the faint of heart, which means it pays to think twice before subscribing into the Nexus 7 version 2.0 or the upcoming Nexus 5 release.
