most users who are running Android 4.1 jellybean are running a version 4.1 point one recently we learned about an update to the Nexus 7 that's getting android version 4.1 point2 what's included in it and what prompted the change let's go take a look so this is my nexus 7 it is of the eight gig variety now i am running right down in here you'll notice this is version 4.1 point2 and I cheated a little bit this is a cyanogenmod 10 nightly in fact it's the october eleventh version october tenth and above they started integrating the 4.1 point2 so google announced that they were updating Android jelly bean from version 4.1 point one which is what most jellybean people are running to 4.1 point2 and that they were releasing it out into the AOSP now this is just a minor update so don't get too worried about it it it improves performance improves stability and has some bug fixes that's about all that they're saying now next thing that you're going to notice here you go ready just like that I can now go landscape now this is not a cyanogenmod 10 thing this is an Android 4.1 point2 thing so that's all kinds of great and fun and nifty but you don't have to worry too much about it you're going to get it sooner than later do you want to get it sooner than later go ahead and come in here into settings go down to about tablet if you weren't running cyanogenmod 10 you'd have the option to update right there and you could get your update if you're in line for it if you're not don't worry about it you'll get it soon enough so why did they do this is this just a bug fix thing that they're pushing out no not really there's a new version of the nexus 7 coming out in fact it has a brand new power management chip in it again don't get too worried it's functionally equivalent to the one that you have inside your current Nexus 7 this new one however just needs a new bootloader and a new driver to handle it and take care of it that's what the update to 4.1 point2 does now is this for the new 32 gig version of the nexus 7 we think so is there a new sub 100-dollar Nexus 7 coming out maybe the eight gig version is getting a price reduction I don't know we can hope but that's where it came from that's why it's out there and you can see we're still buttery smooth and all kinds of fun we'll have the full changes in the git log link over at pocketnow.com if you have gotten the update let us know where you are and what flavor the eight or 16 gig or maybe you accidentally got a 32 gig version of the nexus 7 let us know that in the comments over at pocketnow.com as well as when you got the update and we would love to have that information so we can aggregate it all together if you haven't got it yet again hang out be patient it'll be coming sooner than later if you like this video please give it a big thumbs up head over to pocketnow.com to comment make sure you subscribe if you have not done so already 4-pocket now showing off the latest and greatest operating system tweaks and changes even when they're real miner I'm Joe Levi thanks for watching
