After a complete recovery it looks like the bluetooth headset disconnections are kind of gone; I say this because each minute I still hear a little interruption of the conversation, just a second of silence, then it all come back normal, the communication continue and the headset keeps connected (while previously it did disconnect).

Partially happy with this situation, but still with 4.3 never had a similar issue at all.
[Nexus 4 General] Zinken:
Found a strange bug, I'm on 4.4.2 completely stock with Google+ (and therefore also Google+ photos disabled).

If I access the camera from lockscreen then swipe to gallery the google+ photos icon is on my top right corner, if I press it to "go up" to google+ photos I end up on homescreen and my latest photo or video from camera gets deleted.

Turns out that it doesn't matter from where I access camera, every time I access the gallery from camera and then press the google+ photos icon the last item gets deleted.

Can anyone try to reproduce?
[Nexus 4 General] arffrhn:
Nope..didn't have that problem. Must be something wrong with your device.
[Nexus 4 General] XxVcVxX:
I've been having a massive battery drain with 4.4.2 on system_server, I don't know if its a bug or just another app, but I OTA updated from KRT16O and I didn't have this before.
[Nexus 4 General] BoneXDA:
Is there a non-rooted way to hide the Android buttons on the home screen where there's not much use to them, especially with Action Launcher able to show recents on the right swype menu? I'd also prefer a kind of immersive mode where an app draws content over the full screen top to bottom, and puts the transparent navigation and Android bars over it, so you both have 100% coverage and the buttons available.
[Nexus 4 General] mymeatb18:
Nope. But cm11 has it I believe
[Nexus 4 General] ChrKu:

[Nexus 4 General] bmwjnky:
Anyone having worse reception with 4.4.2? Since getting the OTA yesterday I'm getting a lot more yellow and even red marks now in my signal strength when looking at history details. Battery life has gone up which is nice but now texts or emails don't pop up till I'm 30-40' outside of my work building. Signal was never the greatest with my N4 at work but now I may have to consider buying a different phone that gets better reception at work since when my boss is out of the office 90% of his communication to me is through text.

Nexus 4 Issues..!! PLease Help

One of my friend is having a "Remove X" sign in the google search bar... Also the screen flickers randomly for sometime... Help needed... Any related XDA threads...??
[Nexus 4 General] jutezak:
Sometimes the camera controls are missing if I return from the gallery. Not always, but when trying to go from camera in landscape mode to the gallery (is that possible at all?), puttint the N4 in portrait and swiping to the gallery.

Then when swiping back to camera, a preview is shown without camera controls. When swiping back sometimes I get a camera without controls. Happened in 4.4 and 4.4.2.
[Nexus 4 General] BoneXDA:
Photos app is a mess. It switches to lower-res every time I scroll through a full-size image, slower than Gallery altogether with no quick options to grid view and such.

Anyways, can switching to ART, using it for a while and switching back cause any trouble, instability, bugs or performance drop?
[Nexus 4 General] lepszy:
Yeah happened to me as well. My phone loses signal in my house, whereas before I always had 4 bars.
[Nexus 4 General] BoneXDA:
Also, when unlocking the screen (same background and placement of Dashclock on the home screen) instead of a nice dissolve into the home screen there's a short black flick. This defeats the purpose of having the same lock screen home screen background, a point of which to have smooth transition between one another.

Edit: never mind it's not doing now, transition is smooth... which is stranger than doing it just one way. Odd. Sometimes home key acts instantaneous, in apps or on home screen, sometimes there's like a half second delay. Can't say I'm all the impressed with performance.
[Nexus 4 General] Impo5sible:
Indeed, I though sometging wrong is with my carrier..

AD.

Anyone notice strange bug, when you leave app by pressing "back button" and it randomly open apps instead of getting you to launcher homescreen?
[Nexus 4 General] pjc123:
This problem went away with the 4.4.2 update.
[Nexus 4 General] timbohobbs:
A bug that wasn't fixed in 4.4.2 is the disappearing dialer when all animations are off in developer settings.

How to reproduce :-

Turn off all animations in developer settings

Remove phone app from memory

Press the dialer button

Press the button to access the dialer

and it's not there, just blank

Not crucial, but annoying if you like to turn off all animations as I do.

Tested on girlfriends stock 4.4.2 and on custom roms too.

Not working....
[Nexus 4 General] maritimesbob:
I'm running stock 4.4.2 rooted factory image, with Xposed and Gravity installed. Anyone else having a few issues with incoming calls, especially when needing to use the dial pad during a call (such as banking, voicemail) where you need to press a key to reach a department? Not sure if this a KitKat normal thing, but I was checking my voicemail today and tried to delete a message but could not get the key/dial pad to come up, the screen remained off. I eventually got it up and when pressing the power on/off button several times, the screen display came up. Quite frustrating and annoying.

Not sure if it's a bug or I am doing some thing wrong!

At the moment, not feeling very comfortable with KitKat. It feels like a product that was not quite polished enough for release and was rushed out for Christmas or something.

I love the actual rom, the new dialer looks really nice compared to the old boring themed ones.
[Nexus 4 General] mymeatb18:
Haven't had any problems with the in call number thing. Maybe has to do with your modifications.

Kit kat works good enough for me, no major issues
[Nexus 4 General] Berrydroidcafe:
That was my first thought as well. Sometimes when you (not you literally) start flashing this and that, these little ?'s will pop up, and what really makes you pull out your hair is, someone else with the same setup doesn't have one issue.

[Nexus 4 General] Berrydroidcafe:
I don't think it's a KitKat issue. I have that issue with KitKat and jellybean. Haven't figured out how to fix it with Nova or the default launcher, but with Holo Launcher HD, select Portrait wallpaper mode and that takes care of that problem. At least it has for me.

Another trick is open Photos app (the one that's tied into G+) set the wallpaper. It worked one time for me.

I've noticed that if you long press the home screen to bring up the wallpaper option and then select gallery it just loads up a blank page, easy work around is to open the gallery from the app drawer and it works just fine....
[Nexus 4 General] AlderCass:
It did though. A quick image search gave me what's attached, separate icons for H and H+. Could be APN related maybe. Or maybe it was just a PA feature, I never used pure stock JB much.

I'm some problems with my phone now, they randomly popped up. Email services doesn't pop up my email when I get one so it goes into a sync loop. I know this is not new but I'm having it on 4.4.2 KitKat. Also on my battery stats "Android system " is killing the battery. It just randomly popped up and won't go away. Rebooting phone doesn't do anything.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 4 General] Fatherboard:
Don't know if this is related to Kitkat, but I'll give it a shot - I'm using "Textra" as my default SMS app (since stock app & hangouts fail in displaying contact names properly) and when I turn the device back on, for some reason, the stock app seems to "push/show" all of my recent SMS messages even though these were already received via Textra. The workaround for this seems to be disabling hangouts/stock app.

So silly.

Does anyone have strange, very strong vibration feedback when using the dialer? It is for me at least 10 times stronger then for example the feedback of the back button. Very annoying. It's with 4.4.2. I don't think it was this bad with 4.4

I found solution (?) for Android System battery drain. Using any app ops and go to android system, uncheck @ location and stay awake.

Every thing still works, include location reporting and Google Now.

With this way I'm able to reduce android system from 20% usage to 10%.
[Nexus 4 General] Outrager:
Is Android System linked to Google Play Services?

If so they are releasing an update to Google Play Services that says it improves battery life for people who have location services enabled.

So far I haven't experienced any error in my phone. Because I keep the Google Play Service normally. With this I get so much better battery life, so I guess it's fine.

I was disabled Google Play Service location permission once. Still had quick ping to current location, sadly it's not accurate about >50m. Then I enabled it again and works fine. BTW I still enable all Google Now/Search permissions that used for my cards.

My Wi-Fi speeds have been a disaster sometimes, and I've checked speedtest.net for discrepancies between my computer and phone. It's very poor. On 5 GHz it's pretty fast sometimes, then 2.4 slow. Other times it actually flips, but they're always inconsistent.

The other bug I've noticed, and one that's horrible, is that when the battery gets too low, radio shuts off intermittently even though the phone has battery left. Experienced it today.

Let me share my "experience" with the chocolate desert.

Few attempts to upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4 using OTA, where all of them ended with boot loop. I removed all the custom things before that - Complete unroot and one custom APK and again - boot looping ..

Finally I flashed fresh stock 4.4.2 aaand .. oh my goodness - this thing is lagging .. ( fresh stock install, which I waited to complete whatever it do down there for 10-15 mins ). When open few apps, and click on the multi task button, it is not working the same way and speed like it does with 4.3. Home button - the same, lagging ..

I tried Paranoid Android 4 BETA4 ( 4.4.x based ), Stock with and without gravity box, tried switching to ART ( where the improvement was smashing ! - it started working almost like in 4.3 but NO - still fraking lagging ).

Sorry Google, but this phone is with 4 cores krait cpu and 2GB of RAM. I can't use it like that.

Because of this, I just restored my 4.3 and ended with this parody until Google fix this.
