Most of these "issues" that you're talking about are not 4.3 issues, they're app issues! Apps need to be updated to work properly on 4.3!

Delete it from the store or my phone?
[Nexus 4 General] JustJayBro:
I keep getting a sync error but other than that no issues at all
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
True BUT Android 4.3 is causing this class issue for certain applications and plus this thread is about the issues within the OS, application issues to do with the OS itself and much more.

Basically this is about issues people suddenly get after the update.
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
People Details is failing to sync but it was a bit worse before when it was having some of sync issues with a few of the options.
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
No no no, you just try wiping the Play Store or/and Play Store Services and if that does not help and you are using the first email you added to the device then you need to factory reset.
[Nexus 4 General] JustJayBro:
Oh so its not just mine? Phewww haha
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
I bet Google are getting reported alot about these issues.

Awwww, Google removed that useful glitch where if you keep pressing refresh you can see the package name and the type of activity it is running in the battery menu. D:

Are the notification light working properly with the 4.3 or we still have to use Light flow to get them?
[Nexus 4 General] itrustme:
Since getting the ota update to 4.3 my nexus4 has been having performance issues especially when playing games. Playing a simple game like candy crush is stuttering and having a drop in frame rate, is anyone else experiencing the same problems?
[Nexus 4 General] jorrddan:

I kinda have a problem with the factory images.. I seem to encounter this brick or something whenever I flash the factory firmware JWR66V. On the my first try of flashing it, it works perfectly as it should. Then, I tried a few other 4.3 custom roms just to find the right one for me. After a couple of tries, I decided to stick to stock for the time being. I flashed the stock from the factory firmware that I downloaded from Google and that's when the brick comes in.. It hangs at the Google logo for quite a while and then shows the Nexus boot animation. Then that's it. Nothing happened after that. I left it just like that for more than 2 hours yet the effort turn to vain. I flashed back 4.2.2 just to make sure that it still works and guess what, it works. What is this problem actually? Is there anyone else having this problem?

And btw, I flashed the images using flash-all.bat.
[Nexus 4 General] raghav1357:
do a nandroid backup of your stock nad flash it whenever you want......
[Nexus 4 General] Chochiwpg:
The only issue I have had so far is with one app, Words With Friends. It has force closed on a number of occasions and has a very strange flickering glitch that happens all the time when you enter into a chat with someone, click back to play the game and the screen will flicker like crazy until you touch the screen again.

Happens every time. Other than that I haven't had any issues.

I am on stock 4.3 and rooted. When I turn my camera landscape the shutter button stays does not move and no black bars. I flashed from a clean wipe with fastboot.
[Nexus 4 General] iGoogleNexus:
Don't think so because it was good before 4.3 ... After that update it started happening... I'll F.Reset
[Nexus 4 General] noowb00:
Nah, problem is that I can't flash stock 4.3 anymore. It'd just get stuck whenever I flashed. Never mind. Solved after flashing it using a friend's laptop but still dunno what caused it though. Thanks anyway.
[Nexus 4 General] arizonamman:
Great! This is still here from 4.2.2? :mad:
[Nexus 4 General] mitchpizza:
I just got the prompt to update to 4.3, and upon doing so it put my phone into CWM recovery to install the update I believe? Afterwards, it told me to either reboot, or reboot with fix. (I can't remember the exact wording, but it said that the "reboot with fix" would probably be the better choice.) So I did so, and now whenever I try to launch my play store it just says "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." I have tried restarting my phone, clearing the Play Store cache, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Great. I flashed the rom again. Lol. Oh well. Thanks for the info.
[Nexus 4 General] bg1906:
I have that too. What I've done to fix it is to just open up the app drawer and try from there and that has usually done it for me to get it back. Definite bug that is random. I'm using Nova Launcher and thought it may be a launcher issue. Are you using a launcher? Or all stock?

Just got a random restart 2-3times when using the Camera and gallery app... On stock with root and TWRP. Anyone else has such an issue? Most probably will switch to PA soon (-_-)
[Nexus 4 General] filthykid:
Nop. However, Apex yesterday updated their launcher. It is much better now. By the way, I use Apex Launcher Pro (due to customization). I haven't used 4.3 on stock launcher. After launcher, the messaging app, whatsapp, folder opening.. everything just stutters.... not always though but it does.
[Nexus 4 General] stuart0001:
The power widget doesn't toggle the blue status bars after a while on Nova launcher. It still actually toggles the function though.

Does this happen on other launchers?
[Nexus 4 General] simratcs:
Same here! the ui lags a bit,even did a factory reset,but was of no help!
[Nexus 4 General] rayiskon:
I wrote about this earlier, it's a nova launcher thing, i'm using stock launcher for a few days now and haven't had that issue.

Just fyi, it's not only the power toggle widget, even 3rd party widgets become "unresponsive" after a while. I have this on both nexus4 and 7. So just wait till Nova gets updated...

I was getting Google account manager crashes pretty much daily. Cleared the app data for it and rebooted. No crashes so far.. Knock on wood.
[Nexus 4 General] jabok:
Nova seems to do this from time to time - best way to notice it (for me) was adding a widget with the time on it... if it didn't match the time in the top bar then it was time for a forced restart (in the Advanced menu in Nova). This happened for me on previous versions of Android too.

Despite this, Nova is too good for me to go back to stock launcher!

I was getting very sporadic to no data even with great signal. wife has N4 too but hadn't upgraded to 4.3 so still stock 4.2.2 and she had great signal and h+ data, I ended up making her phone a hot spot so we could share. I reverted back to Modem .48 and 4.2.2 and it's great again. I'm on TMO so that may have some issues too. I'll try 4.3 again after CM has incorporated it.

Running great for me

I did have issues installing using stock image and "Flash-all.bat". Previous, I was TWRP and CM10, rooted. I wanted to try Google Wallet so went for complete stock 4.3. Unfortunately, it seems the stock install did not correctly overwrite TWRP with the stock recovery. I tried reflashing with the batch file and individually using fastboot several times. Always wound up stuck on the multi colored X. Eventually, I reflashed TWRP and everything came up fine first try. (Wallet seems to work fine with this recovery installed.)

I also used fastboot to erase userdata.img. I think that may be why I'm not seeing the glitches people are reporting.

Second roadblock was restored data from Google. Previously I had installed AdBlock Plus, a wifi ad blocker app. It required a proxy to "localhost". Google restored those proxy settings early in the setup process then I could not get to the Play store. It reported something like "Cannot establish a reliable link to Play store". Drove me nuts for a while. Finally tried a few apps and one reported the proxy issue. Removed proxy settings and all is well.

Wish they would actually test this update before sending it out.

My Issues:

Running stock, no root

I can no longer run video apps (netflix, etc) and turn the phone off. Once I do, the screen will no longer power back up. I have to do the force restart (power + Vol down) to get back into the phone.

The worst is the data/antenna. Wifi and data take much longer to connect. It was almost instant before, now I have to wait minutes. Also the reception has gotten noticeably worse. In the middle of our office is a server room, I never got great reception, but 1-2 bars, sometimes 3. Now I get 0, No Service!!!!

So, how, with a stock system, do I get back to 4.2.2? I don't care if I have to root first, I want this 4.3 crap update gone!

Someone help, thanks!

[Nexus 4 General] gotzaDroid:
I posted this in the other bug thread, but I'm having this issue when pulling down the notification tray:

It only happens when I have a persistent notification from the new 4.3 "running in foreground" notifications and it only happens on the first pull after a sleep or extended period of time. Subsequent pulls do not have the same issue.

On a side note, I had "copy and paste" force closes, the "black bar" in recents when swiping away and Netflix "black screen of death" before I did a factory reset. After the reset, the above three issues are no more, BUT this notification issue started... Go figure!
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Android 4.3 has issues with multiple clipboard applications.
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
It looks like that you have to reinstall that application if it force closes since the update.

Is there any way I can get a shortcut for auto rotate widget/non-widget using default stock/widgets?

When in 4.2.2 .I usually use Toucher to take my screen shot. I know that I can use volume down + power but to take it but I don't want to use buttons so much. Now in 4.3 .I can't use Toucher to take my screen shot anymore. I tried to use a lot of other applications but result still

[Nexus 4 General] notfaded1:
did 4.3 ota and now dialer is missing?

I don't understand why but I just did 4.3 ota and now the normal dialer "little green phone icon" is missing and a green android with white box on his chest is there instead! When I hit it where phone used to be it says "app isn't installed". This sux.
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Yep, looks like the dialler did not install in the installer.
[Nexus 4 General] notfaded1:
how can i get the 4.3 dialer apk...

Since it didn't install (I have no idea why) I guess I need to find 4.3 dialer.apk... What a hassle. I was completely stock except unlocked rooted. You really kinda need dialer on a phone... geesh. u let me down google :^[

Even worse its there in /system/app/dialer.apk but date says aug 3rd 2008?
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Can you check the file size?
[Nexus 4 General] notfaded1:
/system/app/Dialer.apk 1.26 MB... i tried just install it and it asks if i want to install update to this built in application... i click install and it starts to try and then says x app not installed. That has to be wrong apk with that aug 1 2008 date... most else in there is dated today 8/3/13 except dialer and some keep.apk also dated aug 1 2008.

was thinking of trying to reflash the ota again... is that worth a try?
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Not now, do you know how to replace the dialler with the correct permissions?
[Nexus 4 General] :
Did you clear Google play services data/cache to force an update to 4.3? All these download errors from market are cause of this...

Simply remove your Google account in settings.. Accounts and then re add it.. All market downloads should then work again
[Nexus 4 General] notfaded1:
Yes dialer.apk has to be 644 perms rw-r-r inside /system/app/ is that right?
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
I just noticed that the dialler you have is the same date and file size.

The permissions are correct.

Are you missing a odex file from dialler and can you tell me the date on it along with the size?
[Nexus 4 General] notfaded1:
Dialer.apk Aug.1 2008 1.26 MB

Dialer.odex Aug. 1 2008 1001.14 KB
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Can you find dialler at all in your launcher or anywhere, if you just cannot find it from your launcher then you need to force stop it.

In fact it could be disabled in the settings, go to the list of applications in the settings in all view and scroll to the bottom then you just need to enable it.
[Nexus 4 General] notfaded1:
Ok couldn't find dialer anywhere in launcher or after hitting all apps button on launcher but when i went to settings/apps the dialer was in list and says version 4.3-737497

I forced stopped it... now what? How do i get it to work again?
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Does it say "Enable" in the settings in the app section on Dialler?
[Nexus 4 General] notfaded1:
I think its enabled as uninstall updates and disable buttons are both available. Force stop is grey'd out since i hit it. Storage says total is 24 KB, 8.00 KB app, 16.00 KB data, 20.00 KB cache.

That seems awfully small...
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Did you try force stopping the launcher?
[Nexus 4 General] notfaded1:
Ok i just force stopped nova launcher and normal launcher. Now i restarted the phone. How can get dialer back so i can run it and on desktop? When i goto settings/apps now dialer is listed and stopped as force stop is still gey'd out. Shouldn't dialer be listed under play installed apps?
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Is it in ANY of the launchers what so ever?, try checking the app draw and make sure that Nova Launcher is not hiding it if it has some app hider feature.

Has for the installed apps no, Dialler is not a user app nor not updated by the Play Store or any other application so it remains a system app.
[Nexus 4 General] notfaded1:
App drawer goes from currents to disk usage... shouldn't dialer be between with green phone icon? I even put launcher back on instead of nova... i did figure out i can dial my existing contacts by going to people and calling them.
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
The dialler is blue unless you are referring to EX Dialler.
[Nexus 4 General] notfaded1:
Yes i guess it could be blue i was going from memory.
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Can you take a screenshot of the draw on that section?
[Nexus 4 General] stuart0001:
Its called Phone in the app drawer.
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Damn, thanks for the pointer.
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Has Stuart said it is Phone in the App Draw. *.*
[Nexus 4 General] notfaded1:
OK here both places where dialer or phone should be.

Can you do the screenshot of the page after Google Play Movies?
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
I cannot duplicate the issues, a few people got these issues and a factory reset worked for a few or was it a reflash? :P
[Nexus 4 General] notfaded1:
Thanks again for working through this ota4.3 issue :^}
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Hey, no worries. ;)

This is pretty strange, did you try looking using the stock launcher, it should be named "Phone" with a blue phone.
[Nexus 4 General] notfaded1:
Yup those screen shots are from app drawer from stock launcher... I put stock back as default launcher.
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Make sure the settings all look like this:
[Nexus 4 General] notfaded1:
Mine looks just like yours except dialer forced closed is grey out since I forced closed it before... Do you know where dialer actually executes from? Can I try and run it directly or from command line? It still bothers me that it doesn't show up in all apps in launcher but maybe I can run binary directly if I knew where it is?
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Get this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speaktoit.assistant

Login, press the keyboard icon and type "Open Phone".

Alternately you can type "Phone" in Google Now.
[Nexus 4 General] notfaded1:
It says it doesn't find phone on my device and wants to search the play store.
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Did Google Now help?
[Nexus 4 General] notfaded1:
No didn't work... I just installed trial of ex dialer and it works. Really kinda stinks the 4.3 ota seems to have hosed dialer/phone whatever u want to call it. It even hosed the icon in the launch tray. Kinda makes me wonder if anything else isn't going to work.

To keep using ex dialer longer than 7 days I'll have to buy it I guess.
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
To restore the Phone application correctly you have to reflash the whole thing which will wipe EVERYTHING.
[Nexus 4 General] notfaded1:
That doesn't sound great but I could do it... My nexus 10 seems to have upgraded without issue... For the nexus 4 though- to have the one thing NOT work after OTA be the dialer is pretty bad... I have a hard time believing this hasn't happened to anyone else yet... We'll have to wait and see.

Thanks for all ur help. I may just wipe it... Copy a few pictures off and otherwise everything's in the cloud. Just more of a hassle and I pride myself on being pretty careful so I'm a little disappointed.
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
It is the best to check if a factory reset will work but if it fails then you will need to backup your internal "SD" and reflash the whole device since these services are having issues, it is either hit or miss when it comes to updates.
