[![Android 4.2 bug omits December from the People app](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/11/android-4-2-december-bug-1353212254.jpg) ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/18/android-4-2-bug-omits-december-from-the-people-app/)
The launch of [Android 4.2](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/29/google-bumps-android-to-4-2-keeps-jelly-bean-moniker/) brought a welcome smattering of extra features to the mobile world, but a recently discovered bug omits something slightly important: namely, the month of December. Dive into the People app on any device using the new OS, and the last 31 days of the year will be unavailable for contacts' anniversaries and similar special occasions. Google is aware of the flaw, although it hasn't yet said when it will have a fix in place. We've reached out to get a more definitive timetable for a solution beyond just what's implied by the Gregorian calendar. In the meantime, don't lean too heavily on that smartphone to remember an imminent birthday; people born in December are stiffed out of enough presents as it is.
