This is the very reason why I have stepped away from ever owning an Android device.  Google has created a very broken update cycle that they refuse to correct with their OS.  The sad thing is Google seems to feel as if they have been able to wash their hands of this just because they have released a patch.  Well I am glad for that ... but how about step up and demand that all manufacturers/carriers release this major patch. Oh well...best of luck to you all!
