Android 4.4 KitKat has been officially announced and as usual, the latest version of the Android OS debuts alongside the a new Nexus, the Nexus 5. So, what's new? Well, the 4.4 KitKat aims to reach the next 1 billion users and it will scale automatically to fit on the devices with as little as 512 MB of RAM.

The design of the OS has been polished and it looks better than ever. Android 4.4 brings a new phone app, which now helps you search across your contacts, nearby places or even through any other Google app accounts, right from your dialler app.

Google's new Hangout app comes out of the box on Android 4.4. It puts all your SMS and MMS under one roof along with other conversations and video calls so that you don't miss messages regard;ess of how they are sent.

The lock screen now has a camera shortcut and there is an option to rearrange the home screens to match your requirements. All devices without hardware keys now get extra room as the navigation interface disappears as soon as an app is launched.

As one can expect, the newest Android version brings a whole lot of new features for Google's search platform. You can now activate search with keywords and the speech recognition engine is about 25 percent more accurate than before, according to Google.

You can use the hotwords to launch voice search with the Google Now, send a text, get directions or even play a song. The upcoming version of the Google Now will bring new card types that keep you updated with contextual topics of interest to you.

Android 4.4's new framework allows you to AirPrint (a feature similar to wireless printing), which is however limited to HP printers only for now. The OS now supports third-party cloud storage in the Gallery app

Google aims to make Android accessible to everyone, even people with low-end hardware. In the past, due to the memory constraints, some lower-end smartphones couldn't get a taste of the newer Android versions, but with KitKat that's about to change. Android 4.4 KitKat removes unnecessary background services and reduces the memory consumption to a large extent, which now allows the OS to run smoothly even on devices with 512MB RAM. Ironically, the Galaxy Nexus with 1GB RAM will not get KitKat.

Google has also managed to enhance the battery performance through its sensor batching, which reduces the data requests. Lastly, Android 4.4 comes with under the hood tweaks and changes to enhance the overall performance of the OS.

Android 4.4 KitKat will be powering the newly launched Google Nexus 5 out of the box, while the roll out for the other Nexus devices will begin in the coming days.

I've tried the OEM ROM, CM 10.2, Pacman, and now I'm on Bonestock 1.2 and can't get group messaging to work properly with any of them. I've tried Handcent as well as Textra. My APN settings are correct and I'm using MMS for group messages. Here's the problem: With CM and Pacman group messaging worked unless someone replied with an iphone, then their message would show up as a blank box. With Bonestock and Sense 5 I can send and recieve group messages and it looks fine on my end, but the recipients all get a single message instead of it showing up in the group thread. Any suggestions?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
I think I fixed it, but I need you to please re-flash on-to BoneStock ROM and let me know if this worked. Pretty sure it does, no idea how to test it though :)

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cowmoo32:
Downloading now, I'll give a shot, thanks. I wasn't expecting you to personally help me. :good: BTW, thanks for all your work, I'm loving Bonestock.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cowmoo32:
I flashed it and I'm waiting to hear back from some friends to see if it's working correctly or not. In the meantime, is there any way to check to be sure it updated the messaging app?

edit: According to my friend on an iphone it works! THANK YOU!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lelebrr:
first good night (in my country)

I have a motorola razr hd. xt925

and I use the program utility droid 1.82

and suddenly the phone turned off and will not turn over.

simply.

fazr already tried the procedure to hold buttons.

to enter fastboot.

but nothing appears on the screen.

can someone please help me.?

sorry my english.

I used google
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
there is rarely an issue with these tools, was your battery charged past 50%?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
I'm pretty sure 1.82 is for the Droid Razr, not the Razr HD. Hopefully, you can still get into fastboot. If you can, you'll need to use RSD to go back to stock or if you're good with computers, you can take the .img for the XT925 and put it into utility 1.21 or 1.33. Neither one of the those utilities show that they are compatible with the 925, and 1.82 is definitely not compatible. Hopefully, it didn't touch your bootloader.

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/vanquish_u/list.php

edit: Still learning the HD. It appears there are several recovery tools in the Original Development forum that are compatible with the 925.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hydr0id:
Keep trying to get on to AP Fastboot, when you're there then just download RSD Lite 6.1.4 and the build from your phone's carrier from the link posted above. Search a tutorial online on how to go back to stock using RSD lite and if you follow the instructions precisely, the flash will go well and you'll be back on your stock rom.

---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

Tutorial's link: http://geekchunk.com/android/un-root-motorola-droid-razr-hd-xt926/

There you have the link from the tutorial, this is for the XT926 but don't worry it works on XT925 as long as you have the builds for your phone and your carrier.

Since I see you're having trouble with english I will translate it to you in spanish:

aquí tienes el link del procedimiento, dice que es para el XT926 pero funciona para el XT925, recuerda, necesitas tener los builds de tu proveedora, los vas a bajar del site sbf droid developers que está arriba. Luego sigue las instrucciones del tutorial y todo debe salir bien.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huskehn:
I like to update CM every night with CyanDelta, but one drawback with this phone is that every time I do, it resets to the default DPI. The default DPI, 460, is way too big for me, and I like to have it around 360. Is there any way I can change this every time I flash without having to edit the build.prop each time? Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teeg07:
I'm kind of curious about this too. although a quick search tells me that it basically isnt possible unless you either create a zip to change it and flash that every time you flash a new nightly, or set an app to auto start when you boot the phone to change it. You would have to reboot once again to get the change.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huskehn:
I've thought about making a zip to flash it, but doesn't build.prop change with every nightly? I wonder if there is a way to make a script that will just find and change the DPI in build.prop.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philsson:
any updates on this? I have been struggling with this problem for years. I've also tried different software to change it but it does often break my play store for some reason so I do it manually every time.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bopsch:
i would like to know if that's possible, too...

it should be, despite the build.prop changing with every build, i assume(!) the lines (read: line numbers) remain the same... so, one could write a script, that changes EXACTLY the necessary line ("ro.sf.lcd_density=[whatever value is preferred]", i for one change it to 400 instead of 480), while leaving the rest untouched... and even if the line numbers change, could one find the line and replace it?

correct me if i'm wrong, please :D

If i knew how to write scripts for android (or better TWRP for that matter), i'd do it myself, but i have no idea...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qkall:
I don't have a g2 but I was googling for this exact thing and turned up here... There has to be a way to create a .zip to flash with updates... i just don't know how :(

Looking at an MDA Vario, on the homescreen you can "lock" the device.

I'd like to be able to PIN Lock my device by pressing a key, like I used to my C500 - or a button on the homescreen would be even better. The C500, just pressed the power button and chose "Device Lock" - nice and easy way of securing the phone, preventing anyone from using it.

Whilst I've got the timeout set on my MDA Pro, it doesn't always seem to kick in, and I'd like to be able to lock it manually, but can't find the way...

Can you help?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Mythozz:
I agree...

The Qtek 9100 has this nice function as well. Why can't we use it in Universal as well?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lbendlin:
set the time to 0 minutes, and then simply switch the device off. This will lock it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] doody:
I think the point is, we want to have the "OFF and LOCK NOW" option to click whenever we feel like it, without the inconvenience of having it lock every single time we turn it off.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lbendlin:
I see. Looks like a simple program would do that registers for a wakeup event, sends the unit to sleep and then blocks the device until a PIN is entered. However, that can be circumvented easily by a more sophisticated user...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Mythozz:
What if a user of a Qtek 9100 (Wizard) could take the Lock Device.exe they have in their ROM's and give it to us???

Wouldn't that solve the problem? :?:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lbendlin:
well, let's try !
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Mythozz:
Anyone??? All we need is the Device Lock.exe I believe from a Wizard... :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Koksie:
There is no such file in the Wizards ROM. many have been looking for it, because we want to bind it to a hardware button and remove it from the Today screen. However, none of us have been able to find it. Posting it to you is therefore not possible, sorry.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Mythozz:
I didn't know that my friend... That's unfortunate... :(

Thank you for your reply though :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] timetex:
I don't even want to bind to hardware - just the software would be good for now!

[HTC One X] Danw20:
Well i sent an email to them wondering if they would give me any info on 4.3. And this is the reply i got back. Is certainly not the negative one i was expecting, but doesn't quite confirm it either. Here it is:

Dear Daniel,

I am afraid HTC is not planning to release 4.3 update for HTC ONE X yet, 4.3 update is just for HTC ONE and HTC ONE MAX at the time being. However, we testing the new update for HTC ONE X, if phone will keep the excellent performance with 4.3 version HTC will release it to all HTC ONE X users.

Let me know if I have successfully answered your question, please click here to complete this.

[HTC One X] Dexxmor:
Why you would 4.3? 4.4 is already out ;)
[HTC One X] Danw20:
Yes of course that is true :P But i would have 4.3 over 4.2 any day of the week :P 4.4 would be a nice bonus, as it does seem that Google have made it more lightweight, while adding to it at the same time
[HTC One X] 4WardNL:
And 4.3 doesn't even differ that much from 4.2.2. A lot of the features HTC One's users got in the Sense 5.5 update, we already have in Sense 5.

It won't surprise me if 4.2.2 is the last update we'll have from HTC, but it'd still be awesome if one day we'll have an official Android 4.4 release :)

The only problem is that that release will have Sense as well and I prefer AOSP to Sense actually. I think the visual changes Google has made in Android 4.4 won't really be seen in Android 4.4 with Sense on top of it and we'll only have the performance improvements.
[HTC One X] Danw20:
I hav heard that 4.3 fixes a few bugs with the Tegra 3 CPU (I personally have found no bugs) Has a few neat things like customizing quick settings, performance improvements, battery ect. An improvement is an improvement.
[HTC One X] omegavesko:
Pretty sure customizing quick settings is a custom ROM feature, not AOSP.
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
not the 4.3 update...it's the kernel wich fixes that...and with 4.3 we will get more performance...games would run better...overall speed would be even more and battery life would be also better...but we will see...hope we will also get 4.4...because 4.4 would run even more better then 4.3 because better optimizing for "older" :D phones
[HTC One X] Danw20:
Quick settings customising is an official 4.3 feature which i believe is on the One's and Max's update too

Computer not detecting phone in s/w mode when im trying to flash a kdz it always stops at 15% and says the computer cannot connect the cellphone because its not detected

Please help
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] TicoTeco:
Let me see, are you using JB and trying to enter in software upgrade mode by VolUP + insert cable?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] niggist:
im in s/w download mode but the problem is while flashing the kdz it always stops at 15% and says that it cannot detect a connection from my cellphone and pc
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] TicoTeco:
But your phone is using JB or ICS? Because in offline flashing, the computer won´t detect the phone if JB (volUP+cable). In ONLINE flashing, don´t matters.

If your phone is in JB, the easiest way to flash is (assuming your phone is operational):

- power on the phone

- insert the cable

- in USB connection type, choose LG software

- start the flash software in PC

- the phone will automagically reboot in software download mode, and the computer will detect this manner.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] niggist:
its JB

it is in S/W upgrade mode

my phone cant turn on to actual android it stops at the lg logo

how would I do an online flashing

would omap4boot work?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] TicoTeco:
Online flashing is a bit tricky, best try as a last resort. You are not given choice, it only restores your factory version, based on your IMEI, and downloads the entire KDZ over the internet. I already done that two times, but I dont't know if LG servers are blocking the KDZ download now (hear that). But it will recognize your phone, regardless of ICS or JB.

If your phone is JB and it's bootlooping, then OMAP4BOOT is the way to go.

Just install the drivers, fastboot and flash the ICS xloader and uboot. Then your phone will be recognized by VolUP + cable insert.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] niggist:
I fixed it using online flashing, it was waay easier then you've implied.

I used the online flashing upTestEX thing I found in an old folder by chance on my usb flashdrive

I had a choice on my kdz and my phone is fully functional again.

Thanks anyway

Do you have an idea of a good custom rom I should try, other than cm, what is a relaly stable one.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] TicoTeco:
Glad to hear you solved your problem, obviously in a different (and better) way from the one I knew.:laugh:

About roms, I flashed many but always return to stock (can't live without the FM radio:p), maybe one stock based might be a good choice.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuicyBrah:
I picked up my Xperia Z1 from the Eaton Centre Sony Store in Toronto and sure enough headset was not on the listed contents of the box.

I called customer care and they had me on an endless loop of transfers until the sony store Canada representative came on the line and basically said, "the carriers buy headsets and offer them as bonuses, the unlocked Xperia does not come with a headset."

I never would have imagined that Sony would cheap out on their $800 flagship device.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MangoSlush:
I have a Z1 from Rogers and my GF got an unlocked white Z1 from Sony Store. I had headsets while she didn't. I will get her to check her box to confirm.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aridoasis:
I believe it differs from where you get the phone. The package that comes from Sony has no headset uncluded as intended by them. Carriers packages vary from one to another - Rogers has headsets, I dunno with Bell and Telus, and I read that some carrier in Europe had the dock included.

I got mine from Rogers expecting no headset, but was surprised they were in there.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] choihan06:

same story, i got from sony store and it didnt have it. worst part they didnt have earphone with remote buttons in store that would work on z1. all the ear phones sony carries are for apple product.

my friend bought his a month ago from uk and he got way more stuff in this box. screen protector and earphones, i hear in other places of world people are getting lanyard as well.

This same ridiculousness happens with Samsung's Galaxy Note phones. I've owned all three at some point and but a single one came with headphones. Really? It's a bit ridiculous.

Either way, I went out and grabbed a pair of Klipsch Image S4i and it sounds great when paired with the Z1. I had the C6903 Z1 and it came with headphones, it's a bummer that the C6906 model didn't come with it.

Beautiful & Immersive

A more polished design, improved performance, and new features.

Just say “Ok Google”

You don’t need to touch the screen to get things done. When on your home screen* or in Google Now, just say “Ok Google” to launch voice search, send a text, get directions or even play a song.

A work of art

While listening to music on your device, or while projecting movies to Chromecast, you’ll see beautiful full-screen album and movie art when your device is locked. You can play, pause, or seek to a specific moment.

Immerse yourself

The book you're reading, the game you're playing, or the movie you're watching — now all of these take center stage with the new immersive mode, which automatically hides everything except what you really want to see. Just swipe the edge of the screen to bring back your status bar and navigation buttons.

Faster multitasking

Android 4.4 takes system performance to an all-time high by optimizing memory and improving your touchscreen so that it responds faster and more accurately than ever before. This means that you can listen to music while browsing the web, or race down the highway with the latest hit game, all without a hitch.

Smart & Simple

Google smarts improve every corner of the Android experience.

The future is calling

The new phone app automatically prioritizes your contacts based on the people you talk to the most. You can also search for nearby places and businesses, your contacts, or people in your Google Apps domain.

A smarter caller ID

Whenever you get a call from a phone number not in your contacts, your phone will look for matches from businesses with a local listing on Google Maps.

All your messages in the same place

Never miss a message, no matter how your friend sends it. With the new Hangouts app, all of your SMS and MMS messages are together in the same app, alongside your other conversations and video calls. And with the new Hangouts, you can even share your location and send animated GIFs.

Emoji everywhere

Sometimes words can’t express how you feel. For that, there’s Emoji, the colorful Japanese characters, now available on Google Keyboard.

Grab & Go

New features help you get things done while you’re on the move.

Print wherever, whenever

Now you can print photos, documents, and web pages from your phone or tablet. You can print to any printer connected to Google Cloud Print, to HP ePrint printers, and to other printers that have apps in the Google Play Store.

Pick a file, any file

From apps like Quickoffice, you can open and save files on Google Drive, other cloud storage services, or your device. And with quick access to recently used files, it's easier than ever to send the file you were just working on.

Your office, anywhere

Create and edit documents, spreadsheets and presentations from your phone or tablet with the newly redesigned Quickoffice
