Ok guys, I can confirm the slow WIFI speeds on latest kitkat version. My phone is only getting 5 mbps next to my wifi router.... On 4.3 I can get over 20mbps... I tested with my laptop that's next to my phone and I get 20 mbps as well. The wifi on Android 4.4 has some issues.
[Nexus 4 General] aeoveu:
Alright, enabling lock screen widgets stops the jerkiness... Weird, cause it didn't work before.

Oh well, I'm a happy camper now :)

Flash the latest kernel?
[Nexus 4 General] rasengan82:
Yes, latest kernel.
[Nexus 4 General] Sfkn2:
I'm not having the same issue. Weaker signal though. Not slower.
[Nexus 4 General] rasengan82:
I am at full signal right next to my router. I downgraded to 4.3 to test and BAM! 23 mbps....

Battery drain i dont know why at its peak. On latest factory image. Both dalvik and art tested
[Nexus 4 General] mymeatb18:
I had this happen when first installing gel except the reminder would be there but no alarm. A reboot fixed it for me.

Had a funny bug today, looked at my phone and saw the available networks icon in status bar but had that option turned off. I noticed cuz I forgot to turn off my WiFi this morning
[Nexus 4 General] jessec:
I'm also not seeing this issue. I'm on a 5 GHz network and getting same speed as my Macbook. Around 18-20mbps down
[Nexus 4 General] Sfkn2:
Do you notice a weaker or a stronger signal on 5 GHz?
[Nexus 4 General] Abd121:
Is it normal to the phone

To discharge the battery

Even with AC connected!!!!!
[Nexus 4 General] jessec:
Strangely, my 5ghz network is showing 3/4 bars in the network scan, and the same router 2.4ghz is showing 4/4. I shall try switching networks to see if there's a usable difference.

I'm about 15ft from my router.

Switching networks make no speed difference, both perform the same.

Oh, and I'm running KRT16S with no wipe after doing a full clean full flash of KRT16O with wipe initially. No other mods except reinstalling TWRP and rooting.
[Nexus 4 General] sizzlefire:
Not all the time when charging, however if you are using it and it gets too hot the phone will stop charging it in order to not damage the battery until it cools off again.
[Nexus 4 General] Sfkn2:
My 5ghz connection is crap when we my phone is touching the router. Lol
[Nexus 4 General] Sfkn2:
Apns are fine?
[Nexus 4 General] cssiofilho:
How i now that are fine or not? Sorry for be so noob.
[Nexus 4 General] Sfkn2:
You would want to Google for your provider network settings, then compare them with the settings in your phone?
[Nexus 4 General] ashwathravee:
Excellent! Glad I could help :)

Did you play around with your widgets at any point? Like replace the stock widget, or add another, or even remove the clock and add it again? It doesn't seem to take effect until you do this for some reason.
[Nexus 4 General] cssiofilho:
Thanks Bro!!!!!! I have compared and i wasnt the same. **** TIM, kisses on you.
[Nexus 4 General] jdmwellington:
Hi Team,

Simple question. Stock nexus 4 & just completed the OTA update.

Are the new wallpapers nexus 5 exclusive? I can't see them listed in the wallpaper under display in settings... ??

Thanks!

J
[Nexus 4 General] ashwathravee:
Which wallpaper exactly? The colourful one is Nexus 5 exclusive but you can find it here or on Android Police. You can get the other wallpapers by installing Google Experience Launcher.
[Nexus 4 General] jdmwellington:
Thanks :) I've just downloaded the new wallpapers. Confused about experience launcher though - was that excluded from Nexus 4 kitkat update? I can see there is a manual process to install it but I think I'll pass as I'm running a stock phone
[Nexus 4 General] vickpick:
Did the update give you the transparent bars launcher?

Probably not, and if not, then you have to install the google experience Launcher. That will give you a few new wallpapers.
[Nexus 4 General] jdmwellington:
Nah it didn't I'm afraid. Is it possible to install the said launcher with the stock KitKat 4.0 / Nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 General] ashwathravee:
Yes. It's just installing an apk. You don't have to do anything special. Look for the link in the themes section or Google it. In on mobile so navigating is a pain.
[Nexus 4 General] praveenmarkandu:
Home and Multitasker button delay/lag.

Camera takes worse quality shots
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
Yea what's up with the camera in 4.4? It honestly does look like it takes crappier photos....
[Nexus 4 General] kuri22:
There seems to be a problem with the dialer number pad not showing up in the default phone app.

I can replicate it like this:

- Make sure phone app is not open in recent programs (otherwise it works fine)

- Open default phone app

- Press on the number pad icon

- Number pad does not show up, just a blank space

- If you press back, then hit the number pad icon again, it shows up fine

Just a minor annoyance.

I have a problem with the sync in my n4. Just got the ota, but all the sync is off, and I don't have the check boxes to turn them on. In my n7 with 4.4 I have the check boxes and the sync on. Any idea?
[Nexus 4 General] Jazavchar:
Sad to report that the notifications are again delayed on KitKat. I seemd to have solved that issue with HellsCore kernel on JB but it's back now with KitKat.
[Nexus 4 General] jchl97:
Minor issue, but the clock widget seems to have a problem in the lockscreen. With 4.3 the status bar time disappears when there is the clock widget in display. This still happens in 4.4 but there seems to be having 2 separate clock widgets. The default one is automatically added as the main lockscreen page if I remove all the widgets, which does not have the time shown in the stat bar, but which cannot open the clock app by touching it, or not even displaying the world times I have added in the clock app. With the additional widget, which can be added by using the add widget menu, does have all the functionality but is not the default one and when used, time is displayed on the stat menu. No big deal, but strange, does anyone have the same issue?

FYI I sideloaded the factory image instead of an OTA update.
[Nexus 4 General] arpitnathany:
I can say with certainty that delayed notifications have been fixed. Also now I can ping my phone even if its been asleep for an hour. Before 15 min after sleeping phone stopped responding to pings. I think its one if the best things in kitkat those delayed notifications were irritating.
[Nexus 4 General] Emersooh:
I am having problem in lockscreen.

- The notification bar is not transparent as the Nexus 5.

- And sometimes the notification bar on the homescreen goes black (or almost non-transparent).

- KRT16S manually installed the image and would like to know if you have any difference of the update that is coming via OTA.

Does anyone know how to solve? (Sorry for the english, I'm using google translate.)
[Nexus 4 General] ivanot:
The same happened to me on another device when I disabled synchronization activities, it's something that affects all synch activities of all accounts.
[Nexus 4 General] maxikd:
this is my current homescreen:

(updated yesterday via OTA from 4.3).

why isn't the status bar and soft buttons transparent? and also, seems that the wallaper is not on the regular place (right over que soft buttons). there is a black space between the buttons and the wallpaper.

thanks for any help.

Do you have GEL installed?
[Nexus 4 General] Mikulec:
Well, not a good one. :p
[Nexus 4 General] AlderCass:
Mobile data status bar icon no longer distinguishes between HSDPA (H icon) and HSPA+ (H+ icon), it seems to just say H for both
[Nexus 4 General] onetik:
I have installed GEL and the latest Google Search, but OK Google doesn't work for me either (on the homescreen). Is there a special setting/app that I need for it to work?
[Nexus 4 General] viktorlj:
You need to use US English language as phone language. That is all. And ofcourse hot word must be enabled in google now settings.
[Nexus 4 General] onetik:
Thanks buddy :)
[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:
It should work if you have GEL & latest google search installed..

Voice search is on by default but still check out the settings ...

Google Settings->search->voice->Hotword detection...

See if this option is checked
[Nexus 4 General] onetik:
Don't know whether this is a kitkat related bug or not, but after updating I cannot get viber to work. I enter my phone number as usual but i'm not getting the activation code. Activation code by call isn't working either. The call or sms never comes. Any one else facing this issue?
[Nexus 4 General] tom1807:
I think this is related to Viber, and not KitKat. Had this issue previously also

BUG

my internal space reduced to 5.2GB from 12.93GB.After flashing 4.4 can anybody HELPPPPP MEEE
[Nexus 4 General] Simmster:
Factory reset, which has been spoken about numerous times on this forum.
[Nexus 4 General] onetik:
Android thinks your phone has 8GB of internal memory. See this thread on how to fix it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2033692
[Nexus 4 General] miksontije:
or just flash automatic,not with manual fastboot commands. unpack rom file with 7z in folder containing fastboot files and start flash "flash-all.bat"
[Nexus 4 General] abdussamad:
THANKS
[Nexus 4 General] luiseteyo:
And if I have a 8GB Nexus 4, will it have 16GB after reseting it? That's a good way of making bussines!! :p

Nah, just joking...
[Nexus 4 General] onetik:
Haha Chow always makes me happy :cool:
[Nexus 4 General] AlderCass:
Dunno how this could be software related but I've always had minor screen burn when going from light to dark interfaces, so minor that I never really cared, but it seems to have gotten a lot worse since installing KitKat. Again, dunno how that could be software related so maybe it's just a coincidence.

Default Email Widget Not Updating

Is any one else having issues with the default email widget? I sideloaded the KRT16S update, I am rooted. I notice when I get an email both personal and work exchange I get a notification but the home screen email widget does not update, clicking and it opens the unread combined view and my mails are shown close and they are not, If i read the mail shown in the widget by opening it from the widget and it will not update. Any suggestions?
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
Major bug on krt16s!

Yesterday at night I noticed my battery was draining far too quickly while performing light tasks. Also the back was getting too warm considering I was doing nothing special, mostly reading. So I downloaded TricksterMOD to observe what CPU freqs are being used. It totally surprised me that while being completely idle, it was still using 2 cores at 1512MHz! I rebooted and it went back to normal.

But today I observed the same kind of behaviour. 2 cores online at maximum power while not touching the screen for a longer period of time. I flashed the factory image with all the necessary wipes, not going to do it again. Android is practically forcing me to use a custom kernel.

Does anyone have the same problem?
[Nexus 4 General] Zawadaki:
Google broke down something in compilation for Nexus 4, setting layout parameter LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WALLPAPER for WindowManage layer, no longer works or I don't know how to use it anymore

maybe its not a Nexus 4 only bug, but my Nexus 7 still waiting for update, on emulator everything working as intended
[Nexus 4 General] vickpick:
I had that couple of days ago.. Hasn't came back though.
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
Do you recall uninstalling any apps after it happened?
[Nexus 4 General] vickpick:
No.. didn't uninstall anything, but I did re-load system.img and cleared cache
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
This issue just reoccured after putting the phone on charger and Watchdog determined that an app called "Sleep Genius" was abusing the CPU. After killing the app it went back to normal. Hopefully this puts this issue to bed.
[Nexus 4 General] hekurand:
i hav eofficialy update no bugs since now
[Nexus 4 General] ferrocene:
Holy crap how do you discover such things? You must have amazing eyes. I see it too, but would have never known if you didn't say anything. Maybe because my wallpaper is dark.
[Nexus 4 General] cyberon:
Easy, using light wallpaper and nova launcher previously, which doesn't have this bug as you can disable desktop shadows. :)
[Nexus 4 General] FearTomi:
I've found the most annoying bug (for me). Whenever i got a missed call the screen will stay on and won't timeout! I know i am not the only one who has this issue! Does anyone know any solution?
[Nexus 4 General] anwedr:
I don'tknow if the search is broken or no one else has this bug and I know it's apparent on the Nexus 5, is anyone else here getting the voicemail bug? I would have to restart my device for the VM icon to display.

This is visible on KRT16O/S.

Does fastcharge not work anymore? Noticing slower charging times on both my nexus 4 and my nexus 7 2012. I've tried swapping cables around and chargers, not sure what's going on . .

Edit: Maybe it's not that I'm seeing slower charging times as much as I'm experiencing faster drain resulting in having to rely more on charging . . .

Problem With Gallery app

there is a strange problem i observed. while viewing the gallery i switched over to the homescreen and then checked my recent apps, i see gallery app there but *poof* it just disappears instantly, and when i open it from the app drawer it is in the same state as i left it in.

i tried rebooting but the same problem persists, even some video files which i was able to play in stock video player on 4.3 are no longer playable on 4.4. Trying to play them makes the gallery app go nuts.

another issue i observed is that when viewing the recent apps list in landscape mode the one in the extreme right is cut half i.e, half hidden under the opaque softkeys. It seems google had given a thought to give transparency to the softkeys but changed their minds and forgot to correct this issue.

anybody facing these issues? or is it just me?

I installed factory image KRT16S, clean install even wiped the userdata partition.
[Nexus 4 General] looppingz:
I have a strange bug. The home virtual button (the one in the center) is not working properly even slapping it, I have a sound and visual feedback but it doesnot show the desktop as expected. I have to tap the right virtual button and touch a blank space. Annoying.

From the desktop. I open down the top of the screen. Then upper right menu has not effect either.
[Nexus 4 General] theprodigy85:
The only thing annoying I'm noticing is that it takes really long to boot and load up all the widgets, etc now.

Also the lockscreen widgets take long to load too. I use the NiLS lockscreen widget and this takes well over 1 minute to load up. During that time, I just see the circle rotating image.

Once it's loaded up though, everything is smooth.

Anyone else with this experience?

[Nexus 4 General] killswitch11:
Not sure if this is Kit-Kat specific, but after updating, I can't get my computer to recognize my N4 when it's plugged into the computer. I can see it in the Device Manager and it charges via USB, but won't recognize phone as a storage device and I can't get into it via Windows. USB Debugging is enabled and I tried switching MTP on/off. No dice.
[Nexus 4 General] eric7:
Check under disk management see what driver letter it is listed under, probably conflicts with other drive letter. If so just change to different drive letter. Hope this help.☺. Did your battery meter behavior change after 4.4?
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
Had the same issue. Does it display the Nexus 4 at all in Device Manager? Maybe the ADB driver or something? Update the displayed N4 driver, choose from computer and from the compatible list choose the MTP driver. Fixed it for me.
[Nexus 4 General] lombardo8:
Not sure if this is a bug or was done deliberately but Tubemate (which is a 100 times better than the YouTube app) will not play videos in-app. It gives you the option to open the first video you try to watch in a video player. If you go back and try to watch another video, you will hear the audio but no video. All you'll see is the opening screenshot of the second video in the in-app display
[Nexus 4 General] rajat_red:
+1 and I don't think it's because they left out transparency last moment from that screen. They wouldn't hide a third of an app's preview behind the transparent navigation keys.

Wifi and Bluetooth Bug

I am facing this new bug with my kitkat updated nexus 4.

sometimes the device hangs when using wifi and restarts, but after restart i am not able to toggle wifi or bluetooth on/off the wifi is stuck at turning on message.

The problem only gets solved by flashing /system again from the image.

fyi i am using official image from google build number KRT16S

this has happened to me twice in one day

first time i thought it may be some hardware issue because on it didnt work even after restoring cwm backup of jellybean. so i did a clean kitkat install and everything started working fine.

then the second time it happened i thought i will install all partitions one by one and check which of them solves the problem, from that i found out that only flashing /system solves the problem definitely not an hardware issue.

i am a computer science professional and i can understand technical problems, so if you people have any input on the cause we can discuss

email widget broken

After the Kit Kat update, my email widget is broken. This is for the email, not gmail. I'm using exchange email through the stock email application. First, it will not update consistently, it generally only updates when I restart my phone. Second and just as important, it will not let me select my inbox. It forces be to select a subfolder of my inbox or unread. I want my general inbox to show up like I had before the update. Is anyone else experiencing this issue. I had this issue on 16O and still have it after my OTA install of 16S.
