Android 4.2.2 dropped a couple of days ago and the updates of my Nexus4 and Nexus7 went without a problem. The reason for this post is to point out something I found amusing about my usage of the Nexus4…
I just attempted to send a text message and noticed my Nexus4 was not connected to my phone network. I don’t think it’s been connected since the update two days ago. When I noticed, I did a search for the phone network, found it and played catch up on a couple of old messages.
What I found amusing is it shows how little I actually need a phone network. I am almost continually in wifi range and most of my communication is via email, twitter and skype, so having no data connection for two days went unnoticed. I’m glad I only pay £8/month.

No data connection for two days? How did you survive? Just kidding…BTW, what does that £8/month plan give you? Sounds quite tempting….and if you have managed to get over your initial disappointments with Nexus 4, what do you think about it now?
@Narendra: For £8/month I 5000 texts, 300 minutes and unlimited data (fair use). It’s pretty sweet deal for my usage.
The phone is great. It’s great that you always get the latest version of Android also. The design of the back panel is my only beef with the phone and a cover solves that issue.

@Tim: If you don’t mind, which provider is giving you unlimited data for that price? I am, literally, not buying nexus 4 yet because I can’t find a sensible deal with unlimited data.
@Narendra: I’m with T-Mobile. I had a £20 contract for 18 months. That ended and I said I wanted to leave. They dropped my payment to £8 and gave me unlimited data (fair use).
If you already have a contract, you may well get the best deal by switching to sim-only with the same network.
In the UK GiffGaff have very good tariffs. I was planning to move to them, but T-Mobile made me a better offer because I was an existing customer, planning to leave.
