First night on stock KitKat and got over 5hrs SOT. Used and abused it nonstop (no gaming). That's pretty good. Although there was a strange bug after one reboot - battery stats didn't record screen as on, the usage graph showed that screen was off ever since the reboot, but that wasn't the case.

One new feature I like is that alarms now appear on the notification window. No more going into the clock app, we can now dismiss alarms through notifications :) And it also shows the alarms you missed. So that's a small but nice addition.
[Nexus 4 General] californicated:
That happens if you turn your phone on, and use it without turning off the screen once before. It's not KitKat specific, but happens since..a long time

I get FC when I try to open .xls document with Kingsoft office. Is there anyone else with the same problem?
[Nexus 4 General] jadephyre:
See if there's an update for GoogleSearch, it's necessary to have the latest one for transparency to work.
[Nexus 4 General] bsamardzhiev:
After missed call, my phone is unlocking itself until screen dimmed and turn off.. Very annoying. Anyone have a solution for this?

Notification

I liked the blue:(
[Nexus 4 General] RealSlimShadyMC:
Did you access that?!?! And I'm pretty sure I've had a friend go into safemode on a 4.1.2 Huawei
[Nexus 4 General] VivaErBetis:
It is not new. It can be accessed from the shutdown menu just pressing the shutdown option for a couple of seconds, or even from the boot pressing volume down (or up?) during the initial booting process.
[Nexus 4 General] Dark Emotion:
To get this menu, you need to press and hold your power button, and than press and hold "turn off".

EDIT: ok, never knew about this :)

Is anyone having a problem where some widgets are not sized correctly in GEL? Music and Twitter and Power Widget have this problem, they are not taking up whole width of the screen like they used to...
[Nexus 4 General] RealSlimShadyMC:
Yeah, had this issue too. It seems that widgets are NOT resizable unless they utilise the resizing API. Some widgets already use this, most don't.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Yeah that's a known thing
[Nexus 4 General] androidpixar:
Search updated. But I am not running KitKat, still on 4.3. Could that be a possible reason?
[Nexus 4 General] RealSlimShadyMC:
The transparency is a new system API. No KitKat = No transparency.

[Nexus 4 General] Goku80:
i can understand about the launcher and all but i got them already on my phone and the transparency and all..but the new cards that are suppose to be there are not and i do not get it:eek::confused:

and for me this new KK feels bit more sluggish than JB...seriously JB is buttery smooth compare to KK...I know it is early days but still

Transparency on lock screen

The transparency effect on the top and bottom bars does not seem to carry over to the lock screen on the Nexus 4 like it does on the 5, even with GEL launcher. It works fine on the home screen. Does anyone know if there is an actual lock screen apk or some other method of getting transparency on the lock screen?
[Nexus 4 General] zelendel:
There maybe alot of difference with the nexus 5. It maybe best to stop comparing it to the 4

Bat-Cave
[Nexus 4 General] mylittlepwny91:
Clearly it's different if transparency doesnt translate to the lock screen. Is there an actual apk for the lock screen or is that built into something else? The only real thing I am interested in with 4.4 is the UI and the miniscule performance increase.
[Nexus 4 General] Cream$ickleHJ:
I've had 4.4 for a couple hours (no GEL launcher)and no complaints, not sluggish,bugs or anything. actually seems smoother.

Anybody else notice after flashing 4.4 images that they removed the home screen clock? Its still a widget though

You can enable widgets on lockscreen in Settings> Security , just tick the box to allow them. Got me confused at first too. :)
[Nexus 4 General] hanifh:
after first full day of usage, got 16 hrs and exactly 4hrs of SOT. will install a custom kernel and test again.
[Nexus 4 General] mylittlepwny91:
Thanks, worked like a charm.
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
Guys, if you want a tad bit smaller icons on GEL and a 5x6 grid in the app drawer, I suggest you lower the DPI to 300.

Open /system/build.prop in text editor and change the number in ro.sf.lcd_density=320 to 300, reboot. Worked fine for me, haven't had any FCs yet.
[Nexus 4 General] mylittlepwny91:
I wish this fixed the power control widget size on the GEL launcher. Anyone have ideas how to fix that?
[Nexus 4 General] aeoveu:
Look at the widget dimensions - Google changed the widget's dimensions. Its 3x1, not 4x1 like it used to be - so essentially, there's nothing to fix cause it's not broken.

Anyone no if there us a way to shrink/hide navebar/ use pie controls working for KitKat. I miss ultimate dynamic navbar and it won't work anymore. Do gravity box pie controls work also?

Never mind. Ultimate dynamic navbar just released a new beta which works!
[Nexus 4 General] mylittlepwny91:
I saw that but I assumed it was a mistake because it looks so stupid and squished.
[Nexus 4 General] RealiZms:
I used the GEL launcher for about 2 minutes before tossing it in the bin....Why....do....people.....care????

I mean is it the fact that the "always listening" feature burns the living sh!t out of your battery?

Or is it how little to no customization their is?

smh...
[Nexus 4 General] mylittlepwny91:
I like the launcher better aside from the power control widget, also from my understanding it only listens when you are on your homescreen and stops when the screen is off or another app other than google search/now is open.

[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
I somewhat liked GEL (or tried to like it), but once I discovered a folder could house only up to 14 apps it was the deal breaker. Have been setting up Nova beta now and it's unbelievable how much more comfortable and advanced it is.

Any idea how to activate full screen mod on games or some apps like in nexus 5?
[Nexus 4 General] Manbot27:
I think that may be Nexus 5 specific because of the cpu, it's not a software thing.
[Nexus 4 General] prateek80:
Processor on nexus 4 have secondary DST for analog tasks such as audio so there is no hardware limitation its just about drivers and software support..
[Nexus 4 General] Manbot27:
You're right

"Audio tunneling requires support in the device hardware. Currently audio tunneling is available on Nexus 5 and we're working with our chipset partners to make it available on more devices as soon as possible."
[Nexus 4 General] ernestnwanu:

no its not a mod, its an older version, which works, everything within is also working including attachments and backups, apparently 2.11.42 works which has a minor bug of attachments wich u said, 2.11.50 is the latest known version to work with art
[Nexus 4 General] ufukcoskun:
Permission manager doesn't work with android 4.4. Is this feature disabled in kitkat?

i have tried the official nexus 4 4.4 factory update and the developer one . they really have a lot of differences . google is really being annoying these days! :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] RealSlimShadyMC:
Developer image? You mean AOSP? You realise AOSP is just base code for developers to modify and improve, right?
[Nexus 4 General] 22sl22:
Is Flash Player dead?

Does flash player work for anyone on 4.4? I tried the initial 4.4 releases and it wasn't working. Then I tried after flashing factory images and it still doesn't work. Tried AOSP Browser, Dolphin and Firefox. Haven't tried puffin browser yet. It would be such a shame for it to die off
[Nexus 4 General] RealSlimShadyMC:
Works for me. You will need a browser that supports it ofc, and to make sure nobody uses flash, Chrome doesn't support it. Most others, and the AOSP browser, do support it however
[Nexus 4 General] 22sl22:
Not working for me :(

Like I said, tried different browsers. It was working fine on 4.3.1
[Nexus 4 General] RealSlimShadyMC:
Nvm just checked again, and it appears to be broken. Guess they completely blocked it now
[Nexus 4 General] sujith1994:
i mean by the ui it has never been changed before for developer and the official versions that's something weird.
[Nexus 4 General] RealSlimShadyMC:
The new launcher is exclusive to the nexus 5, however the new google search already has the code for it, you just need to install the new launcher.apk to get it to work. Look on the forums for it. The transparency, hotword e.t.c will be there

How is everyone getting this great battery life I am using the Nexus 5 Port and I barely get 2 hours SOT
[Nexus 4 General] RealSlimShadyMC:
Get on the factory image ASAP. The correct binaries make a huge difference, since sensor batching is a driver thing.
[Nexus 4 General] mymeatb18:
Well I assume that phone was on WiFi all day but yesterday I got 3.5h sot mostly on 3g/h

Also I'm seeing something about a new boot loader and radio. Did I miss something because when flashing the images I saw the same radio and boot loader from 4.3 so I skipped those
[Nexus 4 General] hughfollett:
Yes, I activated it through the option in the dialer, but still no go.. I have geolocation enabled. The thing is that if i write 'pizza' on google now it does find pizzerias around me. I guess it's something related to my position..

So does anyone know if we got audio tunneling in dsp?
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
What's the point in using the port anyway if we've got the real deal now? Afaik the N5 port was to just fill the gap until people were waiting.

It's common knowledge that the bootloader and radio ARE NEW, but somebody at Google forgot to properly rename them. Had you not skipped them you would have seen yourself that they're not the same. Always go through with the whole process.
[Nexus 4 General] vickpick:
Google forgot to change the names. It's a new boot loader and a new radio

Known Issues:

1. Data speeds on WiFi and 3G seem to be extremely slow at times

2. Flash Player officially blocked from stock

3. Camera is giving some people issues

4. Bit of an annoying UI glitch causes navbar to become solid black on GEL when changing wallpaper at times. Solution is to change wallpaper

5. ART Runtime causes issues with a few apps, most notably Whatsapp and Titanium Backup

6. Using notification shade on lockscreen causes severe FPS drop.

Feel free to copypaste this then modify it

My one annoying issue is that when turning on the device, while still in the lockscreen - if you pull down the notification shade

android.media.process - stoped working ?
