[Nexus 4 General] rasengan82:
Agreed... Nova > GEL

i had same, solved only by pressing 'forget wifi to my router' (~translation from my language) and connecting again. Reboot, factory reset, airplane or wifi on\off didn't solved
[Nexus 4 General] sonikk4ever:
Anyone know how to fix these wakeclocks?

I am on purity rom, and stock kernel.
[Nexus 4 General] RealSlimShadyMC:
Idk, I've had the same issues. I think if you disable the syncs, especially contact sync, it will help a tonne.
[Nexus 4 General] Cream$ickleHJ:
rooted today to find a rom that has the Nexus 5 4.4 and this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2507021 is perfect if you want the factory 4.4 kit kat with all features,GEL...basically its 4.4 how it should be on the nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] NissanskylineN1:
I hate to ask this but:

Do you guys think Google will eventually implement GEL and its full features to the Nexus 4 and even on all android phones?
[Nexus 4 General] monkeypaws:
I thought the original plan was to put all the apps on the play store? Like the new search function? It will take time though.
[Nexus 4 General] gtanner00:
I am almost sure of it

The fact that it installs via apk so nicely with the new search app means that Google had to have planned on users installing it anyway. They could have easily made either the search app or the all not function if any other device was recognizes. But they didn't.

The idea here in my opinion is to keep the feature somewhat exclusive to the nexus 5 for a while to entice people away from other phones that generally have more features than a nexus.

Once they are ready they will release it to the world and we will have the entire suite of Google experience apps available (keyboard, search, launcher, calendar, keep, and whatever others you want to call experience apps)
[Nexus 4 General] sonikk4ever:
Well yeah as soon as I saw what caused the battery drain I disabled the sync, well I will see how things will turn out tomorrow
[Nexus 4 General] anwedr:
My experience is the complete opposite. 4.3 had very poor wireless reception. My WiFi speed never reached above 24Mbps and was"weak" to "average". On KitKat my signal is excellent and getting 72Mbps.

Anyone having problemas with macro focusing on stock camera? Sometimes it shows green but completely out of focus, it's not a problem about the minimal focus distance because when the camera can't reach focus it shows Red lines, but I'm getting green lines :/, with focal camera I can reach focus and an nice macro shot.

People who are using GEL , is anyone getting a google search force close when creating widgets ? I am getting it when creating widgets of Chronus and Powerful control on the homescreen....

I'm on the factory image and I couldn't connect to my router without the WPS button. I also cannot connect to my mobile network's data. So no MMS and stuff. I can't figure out what's wrong.

I reflashed with force flash mode,made a factory reset after but the problem persits !:(

[Nexus 4 General] AlleN7:
I did this. It works! Well it helped me connect online, but I can't do MMS yet. Looking for the fix. I previously tried to flash it with the toolkit but it didn't do anything. Thank you so much!
[Nexus 4 General] jadephyre:
No problem ;)

If sending MMS is not working, you should probably check your APN settings. Check with your mobile provider to get the configuration data for that. Most of the time you can find it on their website.
[Nexus 4 General] rohit297:
Any one facing lag in auto brightness, as acc to me when i go into sunlight brightness does not get full as it used to be when i was on 4.3, i installed the factory image through adb, am i missing something
[Nexus 4 General] ufukcoskun:
Finally, My nexus 4 connected my School network with kitkat(WPA enterprise - EAP). On Android 4.3, phone couldn't connect this network.
[Nexus 4 General] onetik:
Oh okay got it now. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] szewc1:
I just wish they'd set up location toggle to work between battery saving and high precision mode (which just turns GPS on). Now it turns location off altogether. No way to automatically (or by trigger) change GPS state without root.

[Nexus 4 General] stane37:
I've had problems with the camera on 4.3 also. Macro shots were near-impossible to make (focus is confirmed, but completely off), and the constant focusing when you move the phone was unbearable. I used camera fx, but i think every app is better than the stock piece of ****.
[Nexus 4 General] snapdesign:
question

hi guys...do you use stock kernel or do you have recommendation? i would like to squezee more baterry life....thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] whitedragonz83:
There is no Kernel 4.4 source code at this time, so only 4.4 Kernels are stock.
[Nexus 4 General] 3dreamers:
It does that with the stock power widget.
[Nexus 4 General] szewc1:
Sure it does, too bad that's duplication of functions or in another words that renders location tile long pressing pretty much useless. Who is going to turn that on and off, consenting every time? It's better than it used to be I guess.

Hoping the OTA update will be pushed this week.
[Nexus 4 General] monkeypaws:
Wondering the same also. Why is different this time around? Why did they only publish the factory images but not ota? Google is being weird.
[Nexus 4 General] lukikai:
I still hope for today

LoL
[Nexus 4 General] nibla101:
And where are the kernel source? Is it normal that they hold it even after the factory image is out?
[Nexus 4 General] rasengan82:
Maybe Google wants us to test 4.4 before releasing official OTA lol
[Nexus 4 General] Cream$ickleHJ:
Google might be including the GEL launcher, as a 2 part release for 4.4 on the nexus 4...how big would the update be if they included the GEL with 4.4? possibilities
[Nexus 4 General] -A-P-M-:
It will be a shame if HTC One GE receives 4.4 OTA before Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] vencc:
That's what I figured too. Google knows the nexus community is strong and isn't shy of voicing their opinions on bugs and whatnot
[Nexus 4 General] SGS_elko:
Is the problem with delayed notifikations solved, when on wifi?
[Nexus 4 General] galaxyfitankit:
googe working on new camera api...the delay coud b due to this reason...
[Nexus 4 General] Jazavchar:
I've noticed that a lot of the features are currently Nexus 5 only... Was it always like this?
[Nexus 4 General] Dark Emotion:
few posts up :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Krotox:
It says "Currently".
[Nexus 4 General] E3SEL:
Surely the fullscreen wallpapers are currently only available on the nexus 5 because the nexus 4 does not have 4.4 yet? I don't believe they'd make that an exclusive
[Nexus 4 General] giuvilas:
According to what you're saying guys they should update as well the nexus one and nexus s. They have been clear from the beginning.. Updates only for 18 months and that's it (unfortunately).

But I won't be that sad.. Pretty sure that the phone will have long life with cyano :)
[Nexus 4 General] Fylk:
I'm not seeing an asterisk on the voice commands, where are you getting this info?
[Nexus 4 General] Dark Emotion:
There is only one way to find out :good: Wait for Kit Kat :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] rajarshi10:
Yes it is. Or else they wouldn't do that.
[Nexus 4 General] 4NDR345:
YES I KNOW but he asked if anybody got the update on n4...too soon!! First there must be the factory images.
[Nexus 4 General] E3SEL:
It is currently, as it is due to change
[Nexus 4 General] sriraviprasad:
Lets be optimistic. If it is a N5 exclusive feature why they mentioned it in Android 4.4 features
[Nexus 4 General] playya:
Exactly, which is why I dont understand those who unroot to flash something that if they wait a couple more hours will more than likely be rooted and it then becomes a simple flashing of a zip. I like updates like the next guy but once I am rooted I just ride it out until the rooted version comes out. Especially since I am allergic to stock :D

Noobs relax and wait for rooted 4.4, it will be out 24 hours after images are released believe me.
[Nexus 4 General] jadephyre:
Updates to existing devices will be coming "in the coming weeks" so don't get your hopes up that magically the images will appear out of nowhere.

I guess they'll drop the images and source somewhere next week at the earliest, but this is just a guess.

One last refresh for 4.4 factory image of Nexus 4 then I go to sleep its already midnight in India....Google make sure I get the factory image the moment I open my eyes........
[Nexus 4 General] jokkir:
Those are probably only available for Nexus 5 because of Snapdragon 800 it uses.

Not sure about the fullscreen wallpaper part though.
[Nexus 4 General] 4NDR345:
i am with u...why get back to stock for the update? When its out evrybody also want to get root back on 4.4

So wait for a zip and flash it and you are done
[Nexus 4 General] yaatzek:
But maybe they are speaking about ota for normal nexus users (if such exist :D )
[Nexus 4 General] playya:
Incase you want to try something similar out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2450131
[Nexus 4 General] krystyuc:
Seems ~2 more weeks till 4.4 comes to N4 + more time till root and custom rom =>~1-1,5 moths :(
[Nexus 4 General] monkeypaws:
Yes but why would the other nexus devices get their ota but n4 and n7 only get factory images. Maybe they wanted something out for the masses that could do it themselves while they prepped their servers for the official ota? Idk just a guess.
[Nexus 4 General] Adriflipflap:
Maybe they just forgot to push the OTA button... We should tell them ;)

A Google Engineer Explains Why KitKat Has White Status Bar Icons And Only Shows Connectivity In Quick Settings

This explains and confirms a lot of things we've already suspected. They have the average user in mind more than anything. It's only natural because Android holds an overwhelming majority in the mobile OS market and you can't expect a billion users to be superusers. They probably know if geeks, like us, want something, we get it nevertheless. But the average user will just spam their support. It's a pretty safe bet that this is the reason why devices other than the N5 didn't get GEL.
[Nexus 4 General] galaxyfitankit:
totay agreed bro
[Nexus 4 General] Ted Mosby:
They probably just don't fancy server crushing so they release it gradually.

Is Google Now working fine for you guys? At the moment it's very useless for me, only displaying weather and nothing else. I'm using the newest 3.1.8 version, which promised to notify about new blog posts and whatnot, but despite being a frequent reader of, for example, Android Police, I haven't had a single card about it.

Is it US only or something?

[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
In short we are witnessing the reason for staged rollouts. The first stage was the Nexus 5, the second stage was factory images, and the third stage will most likely be a more polished OTA made possible by the first 2 stages.

Google are doing the right thing holding off before going mainstream. The average user doesn't even know an update is imminent.
[Nexus 4 General] mELIANTE:
If that is real, I hope the OTA is compatible with the fastboot flashed images.
[Nexus 4 General] mymeatb18:
Yeah there is a lot of minor bugs right now so I'm sure they are just trying to work them out. A lot of the bugs are minor though
[Nexus 4 General] JCBomb:
I must literally have been the only person that got the GEL on 4.3 on my n4?
[Nexus 4 General] mymeatb18:
Do you mean installed by you?
[Nexus 4 General] JCBomb:
It came via update from the store.
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
You got the GEL stub via an update through the Play Store? Doesn't make sense.
[Nexus 4 General] killman2659:
Impossible.
[Nexus 4 General] coffinpsalms:
Notification bar

Has anyone else noticed that if you lock your screen while your notification shade is down, the transparent bar turns silghtly opaque when you turn your screen back on and unlock? I know it's not a big deal, but it's been driving me crazy. Seems like a pretty big UI consistency flaw.
[Nexus 4 General] JCBomb:
Stub?

We're talking about the new google experience launcher, right? Maybe I'm talking about something else. I'm talking about the launcher with the google now on the left most screen.

ok.
[Nexus 4 General] hankdu:
Thank you sir!
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
How exactly did you get it?
[Nexus 4 General] r00t4rd3d:
Other people on Reddit are also saying they are getting GEL on 4.3 as an update from the Play Store.
[Nexus 4 General] JCBomb:
Google Now got updated while I was in a hangout, I hit home and saw the Google Search Launcher option.

Interestingly enough, I could still choose launcher2 or my other launcher I was using.

The only thing I reason I can think of, is that I sideloaded the GEL/updated Google Now on my nexus 7 the day before. May be the version numbers got synced on google's end and they pushed the update to my n4. I dunno.
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
What you're saying is that Google are pushing out an update of Search with GEL without having to sideload the gel apk? I would also like links to those reports in reddit, I have no clue how to navigate on that site.
[Nexus 4 General] androidnandroid:
I think people are misunderstanding it... Coz the update only brings the coding so we still have to install gel apk ... But still no ota is really confusing on part of Google either they planning something big or they planning to give gpe and nexus ota simultaneously
[Nexus 4 General] jhock:
I installed the GEL apk and have it fully functioning, transparent notification bar and all.
[Nexus 4 General] galaxyfitankit:
On 44 or 4.3

[Nexus 4 General] jhock:
I installed the gel apk after loading the 4.4 images.
[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:
Happened at my end.. Same wake lock kept my phone awake for 1hr..i had to manually go in apps & stop all Google services running apps..it didn't stop the wake lock so i opened the cached apps & closed Google services from there.. Wake lock stopped there :thumbup::beer:
[Nexus 4 General] bsamardzhiev:
I just did reboot and it's gone :) Anyone with facebook app crashing and closing?
[Nexus 4 General] rasengan82:
Looks like the factory images have fast.T-Mobile.com as default APN for tmobile. It also has IPv6 enabled by default. I check my IP and I can confirm I have IPv6 address.
[Nexus 4 General] MelquiXDA:
Can You backup the Launcher APK with ES Explorer (APP Manager) and send to us? And, what is the name of APP on Play Store?
[Nexus 4 General] rasengan82:
There's no GEL launcher release in the playstore. I think some people are just getting confused with the Google Now update. The launcher stub was never released by Google.
[Nexus 4 General] JCBomb:
I think this is because of Picassa/Google+ integration. I have two, but one is Google Photos the other Google+ Photos

I believe if you send a single message to more than 6 people hangouts will turn it into a group MMS. There's a big stink going on at the android issues page about it.

I'm not sure what version it was, I've already flashed the 4.4 images on the N4. The current Search is the one from the AP post 3.18, and the "launcher" apk is .9.6. Though I'm sure those are from the images and not the ones from the update.
[Nexus 4 General] 433Mhz:
I hope so. Kitkat runs like **** with dalvik and even with ART we get the "notification bar lag"
[Nexus 4 General] Jazavchar:
+1

Same thing happened to me last night, around the same time. Wakelock for two hours, showed up as Google play services in battery screen and as CacheUpdateService in BBS. Only a reboot helped stop it
[Nexus 4 General] galaxyfitankit:
What could be the reason? Me too having that.. Even my cousin and friends having this battery drain by Google pay service? Any ota related stuff?
[Nexus 4 General] Jazavchar:
I don't know... It's very interesting that all of us with different phones had the same wakelock around the same time. Probably means something on Google's end and not with our phones, that's comforting :D
[Nexus 4 General] rasengan82:
Same here, Google Play services it not letting my phone deep sleep.
[Nexus 4 General] sriraviprasad:

[Nexus 4 General] galaxyfitankit:
I think something big coming with playstore and Google apps.. Even it could ota or gel launcher
[Nexus 4 General] Goku80:
We still have factory images first. But still surprised no OTA yet
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
Read about the Google Services wakelock thing many people were experiencing so I checked my battery stats and holy shyte. It was consuming 41% of battery compared to the screen's 24%. It was a 10h 40m wakelock! :eek:

I would also like to repeat my previous concern:

I still haven't had any other cards besides weather. An older Now did give me some other cards when it was still more customizeable.
[Nexus 4 General] Jazavchar:
Nah, it only displays weather for me too, and I can get that myself either by searching for it or with a dedicated widget right on my desktop. The thing's pretty useless outside of the US.

Well he is right, if other manufacturers do step up their game with regards to updates, then there is no reason to get a Nexus with inferior hardware - hence the death of the Nexus line. And please, do not try and say that the Nexus does not have inferior hardware when we both now it is a trade-off between the greatest hardware (namely the camera, battery and storage) and fast and quick updates.
[Nexus 4 General] androidnandroid:
Exactly
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
Yeah it is but it used to be far more verbose in version 2.x. Now it seems they've completely crippled it.
[Nexus 4 General] AlderCass:
That's strange, I'm in Ireland and I get a few different cards - weather is always there but every now and then I get things like package tracking updates, upcoming calendar events, updates to web pages I recently visited, updates to news topics I recently searched, and one of my favourites (albeit kinda useless to me) is at the end of every month it tells me how far I walked during the month (which granted I haven't seen since updating to KitKat since we just haven't passed a month's end yet but I'm assuming it's still there)
[Nexus 4 General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
My battery on 4.4 is slightly better

Performance is amazingly smooth with ART.

Lol, I was wondering what you guys were talking about, took a quick look on Battery stats and have this also. I have updated Chrome today though, maybe thats the cause.

Damn Google, if I wanted this kind of random s**t happening, I would buy Samsung instead :D
[Nexus 4 General] SirRobin78:
I´m currently not running KitKat 4.4 on my Xperia Z1 and Tablet Z but also have this issue since yesterday! On my Z1, running 16 h 44m on battery i´ve 16 h 11 m Google-Play Services Part with CacheUpdateService consuming 15 h 14 m.

Very strange!
[Nexus 4 General] streak4m3:
Something is definitely off with GP Services. It is consuming very high amount of resources on both N4 and N5 today.
[Nexus 4 General] AlderCass:
It just keeps getting weirder - earlier the Play Services wake lock drained my phone almost all the way so I rebooted it and plugged it in, and let it charge to 37% before unplugging it again, that was hours ago with moderate use since then and it is still at 37%, look at that flat line: https://db.tt/t8xVAk9D

I'm guessing the erratic battery life the Nexus 5 has been slated for in reviews is a KitKat thing. Getting kinda suspicious now that since Google changed whatever they changed that broke Wakelock Detector and BBS, battery stats aren't quite accurate. Look at all this I typed in Chrome on my phone with full brightness and yep, still at 37%...
