LTE Nexus 7 receives Android 4.3.1 update

LTE Nexus 7 receives Android 4.3.1 update

http://blog.gsmarena.com/lte-nexus-7-receives-android-4-3-1-update/

Suddenly, A Wild Android 4.3.1 Appears - LTE Nexus 7 Receiving Android 4.3.1 OTA (JLS36I)

Without any warning, Google started rolling out Android 4.3.1 (JLS36I) late Thursday night. The first device to receive it is the 2013 LTE Nexus 7 (also known as deb and razorg).

At the moment, it's unclear what exactly the new features and bug fixes in this update could be, but it's worth noting that while Google has patched 4.3 in the past several times, this is the first 4.3 release to increment the version number.

The OTA weighs in at 9.42MB and has the same radio as 4.3 (DEB-G00_2.25.1_0802).

Several users have sent in the OTA urls for various versions of the firmware you may be updating (thanks, TheManii and Peter Kiddier!):

signed-razorg-JLS36I-from-JSS15J.zip
signed-razorg-JLS36I-from-JLS36C.zip
Flashing these is easy and should take just a few minutes using adb sideload.

Since I don't have an LTE Nexus 7, I couldn't grab the screenshots myself. Thankfully, several Japanese and French Twitter (Update: and now English-speaking) users have received the update and posted these:

Android 4.3 is growing faster than Android 4.2

Google has renewed statistical data on the use of different versions of the operating system Android. By the end of September, the situation has remained fairly typical. Jelly Bean version is gradually taking more and more market share, while all versions before 4.1 also slowly lose popularity. It is reported that the oldest versions to version 2.1 still account for about 1% of all devices, but because of the lack of support for a new application to access the app store Google Play, they had to be excluded from the ranking. Android Froyo version of the oldest and included such devices are, according to Google, 2,2% of total. Compared with August, slightly decreased share of devices running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but those still about 28.5%, which makes it the second most popular among all. Third place in the ranking of the prevalence occupy version Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.h. They accounted for 20.6%, and it is gradually reduced, primarily due to the Device Update to version Jelly Bean. The newest version of those present in the market has the highest prevalence. Inside, it is divided into 4.1.h - occupying 36.5%, 4.2.h - with 10.6% and latest 4.3 while the share of which has only 1.5% of all units. However, its implementation is much faster than 4.2.
