Many Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, 7 and 10 owners running 4.2 are raising complaints about bugs in Google's latest release.
Here's just a few of their gripes:
Personally, i'm seeing lockscreen issues on my Nexus 4, it just keeps appearing/turning the screen on for no reason just sat on my desk.

Random screen glitches
Apex launcher + stock launcher seem laggy as hell

- Can't sync calendar to Outlook over bluetooth any more, using MyPhoneExplorer. Cable works but it's so 1990s...
- Aeroplane mode, EasyProfiles can't toggle it any more. Apparently Google changed something and most things can't toggle it either. Well, the enhanced power menu in MCR works still but that's hardly the same thing.
- Screen timeout, Easyprofiles used to be able to set it to 'never' which is great in the car. No go anymore, never is now about 10 seconds. The dev option to stop screen from sleeping when plugged in is a poor substitute since the screen still dims. But that's old.
- Contacts (or People) crashes if I try to add an event to a contact so I can't see the "Decembergate". That may have to do with Touchdown though, it seems to meddle with my contacts more than it should.
Other than these issues everything works pretty much as before.Nexus 7, I haven't noticed any problems yet but then I just upgraded yesterday. Running MCR on it too.

Had some issues on video playback (V Player)
A couple of reboots (strange crackling noise on restart)
Some lagging on certain apps - compatibility problems maybe.

bluetooth stack & WiFi coding is different- Llama (an app that works like Tasker but is much easier to set up IMO) lost the ability to detect connected wireless networks and BT devices (wifi fix now in beta on the dev website)
Kobo lost my library & reading history
very erratic/intrusive auto brightness, on N7

Hmm..bit gutted.. Loved this phone when I first got it.. Now dropping signal.. In the middle of calls.. not sending texts.. *sigh* :-\
Hopefully it'll get sorted.. if it's a 4.2 problem, or it's back to an HTC methinks :-)

Remember that a good bit of these were fixed in the update from 4.2.0 to 4.2.1.
I'm not even running a stable build and it's just as good as 4.1 for me.
