Android 4.2 includes a baffling new bug: the interface for creating remainders and adding birthdays or other important dates to a contact is missing the entire month of December. Users can still manually type in the dates they need, but the simpler selection wheel, which is much more commonly used just skips the month. The bug is unlikely to affect the delivery of reminders or alerts for calender events in December, but is an unfortunate and confusing oversight nonetheless.
Google was quick to admit the flaw, and has addressed the issue with an update that brings devices to Android 4.2.1. After installing the update, which is provided free of charge to all Android 4,2 users, the People app will once again be able to access the twelfth month of the year.
