Google Voice update cures Android 4.2 compatibility woes

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/14/google-voice-update-cures-android-4-2-compatibility-woes/)

[Google Voice](http://www.engadget.com/tag/GoogleVoice/) callers who lean heavily on the Android app got an unwelcome side dish of [predictable app crashes](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/13/google-voice-force-closing-android-4-2/) if they upgraded to [Android 4.2](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/13/android-4-2-reaches-some-galaxy-nexus-phones-early-grab-the-gsm/) very quickly. Thankfully, the developers in Mountain View have been quick to get us back to the main course: a newly available update patches the relevant bug and lets us get back to messaging as usual. Anyone who held off on a firmware upgrade (or a [Nexus purchase](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/13/psa-google-nexus-4-nexus-10-on-sale-in-us-now/)) for fear that they'd miss an important call has just been given the all-clear signal.
