I had the same problem. I changed for an ART for one day then came back to Davlik and it disappeared. App was recompiled once again and probably that solved it. You can try that.
[Nexus 4 General] nlkasyap:
Thanks for the quick response. I'm fairly new to android and its jargon. Can you please explain how to do this or post a related link?. FYI im on unrooted N4.

@radmor11: Figured it out :) . I hadn't even enabled developer options before. I just did that. Thanks for the suggestion. Hoping it'd work
[Nexus 4 General] radmor11:
Go to Settings -> Developer options -> Select runtime (change it for ART).

You'll find easily on google how to enable developer options.

Phone will boot and recompile your apps, then you can change back to Dalvik. (ART is experimental right now).
[Nexus 4 General] Green-Bot:
In order to downgrade, you need to unlock your bootloader. To do that you need to make sure that fastboot is working with your pc. Don't worry its a simple thing.

Just read this excellent article and do exactly as told. I'm absolutely sure you would do it easily. Just stay calm.

Here are the fastboot commands:

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz10o.img (name as per filename)

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.48.img (name as per filename)

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot

First reboot will take time as system builds dalvik cache during this first reboot.

Go and Happy Flashing...!!:good::good:

Thanks vinay. I'll tell you how happy i'm when flashing is successful:fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] mbutandola:
It seems that flashing the OTA update causes the issues.

You'd be better off flashing the factory image.

That's what I did and appart from the Google dialer not doing the search, he phone seems snappier. It's buttery smooth and the jitters that has plagued my Android experience since the time of eclair have gone.

Don't know if it's ART runtime but I love this.

Copy and paste is better too.

OTA yesterday, working fine, installed Nova Launcher Prime and upgraded to Beta for the transparent navbar and status bar. The transparency only works in the home screens and the app drawer. Looks great, Nova feels faster that stock launcher!!! Used to have ADW, but Nova feels much smoother. I like the phone to be STOCK, I only change the launcher.
[Nexus 4 General] RealiZms:
Im the same way. And nova is much better than stock. The Nova kit Kat beta actually adds more kit Kat flavor than the GEL launcher as well.:good:

Reset your APN to default and reboot...

This seems carrier related but I would try that first.
[Nexus 4 General] plebloo:
I've tried everything ... KRT16O and KTR16S.Full wipe,reset apn and nothing.This is a bug android 4.4:(
[Nexus 4 General] RealiZms:
No man. Just because you have a problem doesn't mean there is an OS problem.

I'm on KRT16S with no issues. I can select 2G or 3G as about everyone else can.

Compare your APN settings with other Nexus 4 users on O2's network.

I would suggest looking around the Q&A forum or perhaps starting your own thread there..

You'll be up and running in no time:good:
[Nexus 4 General] vdchuyen:
I had to recovery the stock image 4.4 on official google firmeware and just received the OTA to KTR16S yesterday and the no transparent things. I had to use GEL package and Nova beta to get the right Kitkat look . Anyway, everything works well, even ART. My battery can last longer 20%. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
I suggest asking your carrier what's the deal.
[Nexus 4 General] Jazavchar:
They seem to be fixed for me! To my knowledge, the new kernel has new Wi-Fi drivers.
[Nexus 4 General] Zmydust:
I realize I may have been getting away with something for a long time that may just have caught up with me BUT I'd like it to keep going. For years with my Nexus phones, their wifi Tethering has been my only home internet using between 20gig and up to 60gig per month. This has never caused an issue on my unlimited plan until I upgraded to kitkat, they immediately texted me and warned I was at 4gig, then shut be off at 4.5gig . Any thoughts on how to regain?
[Nexus 4 General] d3xt3r:
Check whether in data the set data limit is on. If it's checked uncheck it, and you'll be good to go :thumbup::D
[Nexus 4 General] Zmydust:
Not checked and they shut off my ability to tether moments after that text. Not sure if you're trolling or just having a laugh.
[Nexus 4 General] Zehlek:
Did you try dialing *#*#4636#*#* and selecting GSM? By default in settings it doesn't show 4G/LTE but I'd I enable it but dialing *#*#4636#*#* it shows in settings after so maybe it will show 2G after you try that

I don't have any delay in notifications (messengers app's or gmail) on KRT18S factory image, stock kernel. I upgraded straight from 4.3, so can't say anything about a change since 18O. I am running the .48 radio (instead of .97), but that's because of other reasons, I don't know if has impact on the notification issue (it could have, however).
[Nexus 4 General] sadsac:
Sounds carrier related so not sure anyone will be able to help you

Or just coincidence but sounds like your party is over, unlucky

Edit -try 4.3 again and see if same problem persists?
[Nexus 4 General] Marcb:
nah, I don't radio matters...

It's all about the wifi...

Maybe the new wifi drivers from the latest build fixed the notifications...

[Nexus 4 General] rasengan82:
I heard KitKat is flagging tethered connections. The carrier supposedly now know if you are tethering.
[Nexus 4 General] RealiZms:
This is some pretty horrible sh!t......It actually sort of surprises me that Google would hop in bed with carriers on this. Then again it's T-mo.....this could be something T-mo has done specifically after already dealing with the Nexus 4 and their tether happy customers. :silly:

I've been tethering on ATT and not been cut off....Then again I'm not tethering 20-60GB a month either. :cyclops:

I'm actually really curious if Nexus 5 owners on Sprint are faring....Sprint's LTE is actually pretty amazing where I'm at.

The overall performance on 4.4 is great. Rock stable and all, but my Nexus 4 lags horribly while gaming. I'm currently on KRT16S running Franco Kernel. Is it a normal thing? I tried Asphalt 8 and RR3 on JWR66Y (unrooted) and it lags in there as well. Any solutions ie. Different ROM+combo? Or are the games just badly optimized?

Can anyone confirm this also, or is it just me: on stock Kitkat, stock kernel, there is no touchboost. That is, when you press on the screen, the cpu should jump to dual core and frequency 1026 mhz - as I recall that is Project Butter. Now, it stays on 384 mhz for me, and only scales up on load. Have I messed up something?

[Nexus 4 General] willshep:
Your tethered device creates and additional network hop on your connection which is detectable by your carrier. You also add a MAC entry. They could also match your browser string. It is very easy for a carrier to detect you with or without Google.

Thanks, it was a mistake on my part with custom kernels.
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
The more I played around with custom kernels, the more I've come to realize that the stock kernel is the best. It just works. There are very few custom ones that give you no problems, and the ones that don't are mostly minimalistic and true to stock behaviour.

Is it normal that phone on KRT16S is avake every second screen is on? I flashed factory image few hours a go, all is stock, i only rooted it, and flash CWM, stock kernel, no aps like facebook, viber,whatsapp ect..

maps, g+, disabled along with all sinc and location i can think of..

On JB it wasnt like that for me, awake would be hardly noticeble on battery graph on stock and custom roms..allso i dont use ART yet

Greets, thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] Jazavchar:
In JB they changed the way they displayed battery info where the screen and and awake displayed two different things. Awake graph was meant to only show when your phone was awake without the screen on. Perhaps to better track down wakelocks. It was counterintuitive for me tbh. They've since revreted to the old, pre JB way of maching the awake graph with the screen graph.

Confirmed, threw my sim in another Nexus 4 that is on 4.3 and I'm tethering with no limits again. Definitely 4.4 flagging tethering to the carriers, thanks a lot Apple.....err I mean Google.

Im rooted and running gel but I kind of feel a sort of frustration, disappointment, and a little betrayal at Google for not including specific functional and cosmetic features in the Nexus 4. It makes you think twice, in the end we still get the update but you can imagine if your rooted and running gel how big of a difference is

Definitely not cool

Google moon that the hardware upgrade to the next four to the Nexus 5 would not be enough to sway many potential buyers, intern all the other updates for handicapped and the best functional features were included only in the Nexus 5
[Nexus 4 General] RealiZms:
Personally being a Nexus owner I just want my update very shortly(an hour) after a new version is announced.

I'm an Android enthusiast...Not a Google enthusiast. Most of the time Google does a great job improving Android(Dialer, Keyboard, Search, etc.)

That GEL launcher is a perfect example of their occasional fail(camera software anyone?). I think it's utter sh!t

You talk about functions and features.....The GEL launcher is light on both and if anything handicaps the users Android experience. Nexus 5 owners can keep that sh!t launcher.

[Nexus 4 General] Regensburg:
What are the features/advantages of baseband 97 comparing to 84 (from 4.3)? I use 4.4 with old radio because I use MultiRom and some ROMs of 4.3 version. What do I miss without newest radio in normal use? Or is the update just related to the newest general updates in KitKat like new Bluetooth profiles or WiFi TDLS?
[Nexus 4 General] :
i'm not sure as to the benefits the .97 radio has over the .84 one, but i recall those that had network and wifi problems when updating to 4.4 resolved their respective issues by installing the newer baseband. So i guess there's no real need for you flash it yet if you don't have any network connectivity issues.

I can also confirm this... I've spent many hours playing Asphalt 8 and also Modern Combat 4. These games ran smooth like butter before KitKat but now the phone seem to really be struggling with this game and the fps goes way below 30 from time to time.

The funny thing is that 4.4 kitkat gave my Nexus 7 (2012) a nice boost in 3d performance, Modern Combat 4 suddenly runs smooth as hell on it, and my Nexus 4 that always ran this game ultra-fast is now suddenly lagging!!!

WTF is going on here,,,? The adreno gpu in the N4 as we all know is more powerful, maybe they messed up something with the drivers???

Problems gaining root after flashing stock 4.4

Hi guys. I just flashed the stock mako 4.4 rom with the Nexus 4 toolkit and everything went fine. Then i used the nexus 4 toolkit again and did a one click root, installed busy box, updated 2.6.3.3 twrp and everything went fine. So i used TWRP to restore just my data from a 4.3.1 rom (i know i shouldn't do that) wiped the dalvic/cache and all my data was back no problems at all. The problem is for some reason I lost root, I've tried gaining access through the toolkit says it works, and doesnt. then tried a different chainfire method, didn't work. When I click on superSU it states " no binaries are installed and it can't download them, if your upgrading to 4.3 you need to check the forums for your device and manually root." Done all that. Can't get root in 4.4. Any suggestions would be awesome.
