Thanks for the pics and info.

Sounds like Nexus 5 is the best buy - but it only has 4.2.

Er..... what?

Nexus 5 - Google

Perhaps you were confusing it with my comment on the Asus Trio.

Harry,

Thanks for the link.

It seems the Nexus 5 is a phone. I'm looking for a tablet.

What the f*ck is going on here?!

Get the Google Nexus 7 then. Cheap and good...

Or, if you fancy a Phablet, a waterproof one at that:





Free pussy with every one...

If you are after 4.4, then the Nexus 7 or 10 looks to be getting it first:

Google on KitKat

It will be available straight away on the Nexus 5 and be coming to the Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 shortly, according to the search giant.

"Android 4.4, KitKat, which comes on Nexus 5, will also soon be available on Nexus 4, 7, 10, the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One Google Play edition devices in the coming weeks"

4.2.2 works very well. 4.3 and 4.4 offer very little extra - always good to get the latest, but don't make 4.4 a must have...

And you know this how?

Harry?

By the sound of it, your phone is already rooted and has a custom ROM on it, at least that's what usually causes that error.

If you want to update, there are tons of newer custom ROMs to try out, many off them 4.3.1.

If you're feeling really adventurous, you could try 4.4 (there is a build out, just a couple of minor bugs).

Did you buy this second hand or did someone flash a custom ROM for you?

I got it new, I never tinkered with it but did take it to MBK a while back for some reason. It was doing something annoying but I can't remember what!?
They must have done something to it...

so, what do I do now?

So you haven't actually played with it then.

There's a build for the i9300. I might give it a shot tonight.

Can you go Settings, About Phone, do a screen shot and post it here?

Why did you take it to MBK? What did you ask them to do?

I got 4.2.2 on my phone and it seems to be working fine...

Can't see those they're too small.

4.4 is supposed to be very quick as it was designed to be much better on older phones

I am watching an omni rom thread on xda for my phone and I think I will flash it soon as it seems to cover the usage I need
