For those who reported 5ghz Wifi is fine in 4.4, was it also fine when you were on 4.3? I'm more interested in hearing from people who had problems on 4.3 finds an improvement with 4.4.
[Nexus 4 General] jatink007:
Nope. Just checked.

Try restarting. Mine had a few bugs which got resolved with restart
[Nexus 4 General] MersauX:
I noticed a bug once, but so far couldn't reproduce it. I had Eye in the Sky weather and some icons on my second screen (I'm talking about the Google Experience Launcher apk I installed).

When I removed the weather it still remained on screen, like it was placed on the wallpaper itself, I couldn't tap on it, select it, move it or remove it. The same thing with icons, I removed them, but they still remained on the wallpaper.

After removing all the icons the screen disappeared, so I only had one/main screen. However, after pulling an icon to the second screen again the weather and icons were still there "on the wallpaper". It got fixed after locking and unlocking the screen.

EDIT: Thinking about it now, this is probably a GEL bug, not a KitKat bug, but I'll leave it here just for reference if someone else runs into this issue. :)
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
That's a known bug, reset app preferences to fix it.
[Nexus 4 General] radmor11:
I haven't found an answer, sorry if it was posted before. Does max sound volume changed? I doubt it but it would be a nice feature. When I listen to calm music it's too quiet. I don't want to flash anything, I'm done with that addicting thing :)
[Nexus 4 General] sherbibv:
I had a bug like this. But it was with nova launcher beta 3.i have uninstalled light flow and when I returned to home screen. The wallpaper was now the ui of ez weather. Nothing I tried applying another wallpaper but no effect. I tried locking unlocking phone... Nothing. Then I went in Nova settings and restated the Launcher. That fixed the problem. It only happened once..
[Nexus 4 General] Impo5sible:
Kitkat is really nice and we should give "him" time to settle down, but it's buggy as hell.

-sometimes, when I swype away apps in "recent app" it returns me back to homescreen and if you push the recent app button, nothing happens. After that, it works again.

-Internet issue - random disconnects from Wi-fi (the weird thing is that in the wifi option it is said that Im not connected to any network and I need to type wi-fi pass again.

-Random freezes while browsing in UI

-faqing buzzing in earpiece (excuse me, but it drives me mad)

-Phonecalls problem (when phone calls end, It stay stuck at "call screen")

Im on stock 4.4 with clean factory install
[Nexus 4 General] :
just stay where your at. im on the n5 ported also and its a lot nicer than the stock image for the N4. it seems a bit smoother for me.

Music stutters when playing over Bluetooth. It is not a new bug but still has not been fixed. It's been over a year since this bug was introduced. I doubt Google will ever fix it.
[Nexus 4 General] der187:
Can not confirm this bug... Music via bluetooth seems flawless to me.
[Nexus 4 General] tlf55:
Some of settings still showing blue holo for me like the mobile data settings.. That's very weird that only few setting still have the old design..

You don't have to. It was confirmed many times in last 12 months.
[Nexus 4 General] JoaoGuiPan:
Won't turn on mobile data network!!!

I'm really pissed at this!!!!

Doesn't matter how many times I enable/disable Mobile Data, reboot the phone, Dalvik to ART or vice-versa, my Nexus 4 WON'T CONNECT TO MOBILE DATA!!! Anyone having this issue???

EDIT: It seems this guy is having a similar issue:
[Nexus 4 General] AlderCass:
Sorry if this is an obvious question but are your APN settings in 4.4 correct? Also, what baseband are you using?
[Nexus 4 General] JoaoGuiPan:
Maybe it's not that obvious. I don't even know where are APN settings =s My BaseBand is M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.97
[Nexus 4 General] AlderCass:
Cool so you're on the right baseband anyway. For APN settings go to Settings > More... > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names and check that there's a setting there for your carrier
[Nexus 4 General] JoaoGuiPan:
There is a default one. I'll try to google the settings and see what happens. The weird thing is, I never had that issue before... :confused:

EDIT: Compared with a friend of mine running 4.3 on his nexus 4, same carrier (TIM BRASIL), 3g working. Apparently the default config activates both ipv4 and ipv6 protocols, while his config is only ipv4 activated. Just switched back to ipv4 and worked like a charm! Thanks for the heads up man!!! :D
[Nexus 4 General] Jazavchar:
I think there is some general lag with the notification shade and notifications themselves. Can anyone else confirm? If I'm using my phone, and a notification comes in, the whole UI seems to stutter a bit. Don't know if it is sound related, notification related, or something else entirely. Unfortunately, there are many variables to test.
[Nexus 4 General] imr.uvce:
I got it why notification bar when pulls is laggy in lock screen

Explanation: you see during this Not bar pull, there is a status bar & nav bar content change happens which is at very slow rate in KK ,Thats y there is a lag which has to be fixed by Google.

Same thing doesn't happen on normal screen because no such content change happens

Try yourself during pull,notice the status bar & Nav bar
[Nexus 4 General] Scythe:
I don't know if anyone noticed but, if you try to start app "play music"(googles native app) and while listening if you try to swipe it to close from multi task button(or whatever it is) music "pauses" and icon on notification bar disappears, after a while icon appears(or if you slide down bar itself) and "play music" appears on bar and you can unpause track you were listening. I hope it isnt happening just to me.
[Nexus 4 General] AlderCass:
This Google Play Services wakelock is breaking my heart. It only started today, before that I was getting pretty great battery life but it's kept my N4 awake about 50% of the time and my N7 2013 100% of the time. Disabled location reporting, hopefully that'll resolve it. It sucks doubly that the likes of Wakelock Detector and Better Battery Stats aren't working yet.
[Nexus 4 General] b1337:
BBS works
[Nexus 4 General] AlderCass:
Oh good. I just saw that their Play Store page still said it doesn't work so I didn't bother trying it.
[Nexus 4 General] b1337:
Check the xda thread, its updated there
[Nexus 4 General] Jazavchar:
A reboot fixed it for me. And I don't if it is related, I also switched back to Dalvik to listen to Pandora.
[Nexus 4 General] arpitnathany:
Okay there is definitely something wrong with video playback in android 4.4. YouTube playback is extremely stuttery and even videos played by mxplayer stutters. I dunno how something this major escaped Google's attention.

I've made a video showing jittery YouTube playback

http://youtu.be/BotGuo1nCvU

Check out the part where the guys head bobs.

Its dropping a lot of frames I think. Usually this happens because of the video drivers

[Nexus 4 General] monkeypaws:
So the majority of the video looks fine. Kinda hard to see since its far away. Other than that i t could be the network.
[Nexus 4 General] arpitnathany:
Its not the network I made sure to buffer it. Also the video plays back completely fine on my ipad. Maybe its hard to see in this video I'll try to make a better one tomorrow

Issues

I had battery drain and lags when using the lock screen. I installed clean stock via fastboot.

My fix was to:

fastboot oem lock

and then

fastboot oem unlock

....so far so good all those issues have yet to arise. Only issue is 5Ghz Wifi, This strangely works perfect if I turn off my ipads wifi leaving the N4 the only device connected to my router.
[Nexus 4 General] Impo5sible:
Maybe it's not a issue..

*if you know what I mean*:cowboy:
[Nexus 4 General] bpear96:
Thanks , but could you tell me how to do that?
[Nexus 4 General] iowabeakster:
I just downloaded and installed the factory images via fastboot on my wife's phone, this morning.

H and H+ icons were both there on the older versions of stock (I don't put any custom ROMs on her phone, although they are rooted). Maybe you guys that didn't get the H+ are using a network that doesn't actually have H+? I don't know how else to explain this. I didn't notice whether the H+ icon was there after the update, and she is at work now.

5ghz WIFI is working fine.

The only odd thing I found so far, is that Candy Crush seemed to get uninstalled during the update. I think all other apps remained installed, just Candy Crush disappeared (although the icon remained on her home screen). When you hit the icon that was on her home screen, an error toast informed that the app was not installed. And it was entirely missing from the app drawer too. Reinstalled it and her progress was retained through Play Games services.

Whew! my ass was on the line about that one...

And now I wait for CM to get the notification toggles merged, then I can move on to Kit Kat too.

No they weren't, only H was.

Anyone else?
[Nexus 4 General] smirkis:
4.4 killed my girlfriends Nexus 4. her battery is always dead in less then 5 hours even with very minor usage. if i forget to plug it in at night it'll be dead by morning.

i'm in the hotseat on this one, the girlfriend is pissed her phone is basically useless. don't make me buy her an iphone google, i've been selling her android for years and she's learned to love it but random bugs like this are a major turnoff for casual users.
[Nexus 4 General] mymeatb18:
Something is killing the battery I get better battery than with jellybean as with most people get waker lock detector or better battery stats from play store. lower the amount of times her Facebook refreshes
[Nexus 4 General] smirkis:
wakelock detector doesn't seem to work on kitkat yet lol.

i'll keep digging, but i just find it crazy. i ran that nexus 5 port for a week and had AWESOME battery life, i only expected more out of the official update. may have to just flash the nexus 5 port and see how that goes. but i'm trying to keep her phone official/stock so i don't have to mess with it for updates and what not.

Wireless Charger Detector wakelock fixed?

Does anyone know if the wireless charger detector wakelock has been fixed in KitKat?

My battery performance on KitKat has been solid even after unplugging from a wireless charger. [Edit: I just got the new Better Battery Stats that's compatible with KitKat, and that wakelock isn't showing up. Unless that changes, it looks like this has been fixed.]

By the way, I'm referring to the issue of bad battery life after unplugging from a wireless charger. For those who are unaware, with stock 4.2 and 4.3, the phone would never go to deep sleep after I took it off of a wireless charger. Better Battery Stats indicated that there was a constant kernel wakelock called "WirelessChargerDetector." The only way to get rid of the wakelock was to reboot. Custom kernels were able to fix the problem, but as far as I could tell, it never got fixed in the stock kernel.

When you take your first picture, if you swipe over (from camera to gallery) to view the picture, and then choose to delete it, it doesn't fully return to camera app. You get a pseudo camera/gallery thing which shows everything that the camera is picking up, but the camera buttons (shutter, settings, etc..) aren't there and there is the gallery title bar thing at the top. It will go away and the camera buttons will return if you touch the screen and then swipe somewhere on the screen. This is only the case when it is the first picture you have taken, or when you delete all pictures taken with the camera.

After delete, return to (pseudo) camera app:

[Nexus 4 General] Tricepz:
I really dont know why people are having worse battery life on 4.4, for me it's just the opposite i get much better BL than on JB. (maybe it's because my reception has gone up a notch since the update)

Anyways regarding the new KRT16S i heard it's mainly network settings (support for more apn's etc') nothing major.

Calling bugs

Two bugs related to calling:

The first bug is when I go to silence the ringer when I am receiving a call. I press the volume rocker and the ringer is silenced, but I get the same tone as if I were adjusting the ringer volume outside of a call. The volume does not change no matter how many times I press it, but the tone is there for every press of the volume rocker while a call is coming in. Before, I could silence the ringer without this tone.

The second bug is when you're in a call, on speakerphone, and using an NFC tag. If you pass the phone over the tag the NFC tone will come over the speaker. This only happens when speakerphone is activated, and if you use an NFC tag while just on the phone normally (sound coming out of the earpiece only) you will not hear the tone.
[Nexus 4 General] sadsac:

[Nexus 4 General] sadsac:

[Nexus 4 General] jessec:
Not sure if anyone else has this, or if there's an easy way to fix...

Custom ringtones/notifications/alarms aren't showing up.

I put them in /sdcard/Ringtones, /sdcard/Notifications, /sdcard/Alarms (ringtones did show up once, but now they aren't again).

I've also tried them in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones (and notifications, alarms) to no avail.

They are standard MP3 files that I've used over and over on Android phones back from Motorola Milestone, HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy S2x, HTC Amaze... why not on my N4 now?

The other day I got them back in there by using ES File Explorer and having it "Set Ringtone" and choosing the corresponding one, but now I see they aren't in the list again, so I get no ring or notification sounds unless I set a system one, plus no way to know if/when this gets reset.. so I end up missing calls and such not knowing it got reverted.

Also, now when I use ES File Explorer to set it again, it fails, so I can't even use that method to get them to show up :/
[Nexus 4 General] oliverredfox:
The new update fixed a bug I was having with Vons4U app. It was hanging after syncing the grocery list and I'd have to close and re-open the app to then see the list (under ART, no clue if the issue existed outside ART). But now it's working right. Hadn't noticed any other major issues, but glad to see it fixed this.
[Nexus 4 General] BenHeng:
I found a workaround: place the mp3 in the desired folder (/Ringtones) choose go in setting/sounds/ pick a ringtone. Choose it with es explorer then choose it again with build selector. If you get an error, reboot and try again.

However I have a lot of wake lock from any Google services (contacts, maps, search ... that I didn't have on 4.3 or custom 4.4 , as well as random reboot.

After flashing newest factory image, the buzzing from earpiece when make a phone calls is gone for me.

Does anyone experience this, as well?
[Nexus 4 General] siddhesh.raikar:
On the newest factory image.. On Google play music, can't adjust volume when I'm in the home screen or when in the app using the volume buttons.. It works when on the lock screen though..

Is it just me?

---------- Post added at 02:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 AM ----------

The above mentioned bug came up when I was running ART.. So it doesn't count I guess.. It doesn't exist for Dalvik..
[Nexus 4 General] CSX321:
I never experienced that with 4.3 and the wireless charger. I wonder what it's dependent on.

I can tell you that the problem where the "Keep display on while charging" option doesn't work when on the wireless charger has NOT been fixed yet. If you're rooted, you can still work around it by issuing this in a terminal window:

su

svc power stayon true

It would be an extremely easy thing to fix. I posted the code to fix it months ago in the official bug report. I'm not set up to submit patches to github, but this makes me want to do it.

Crazy battery drain with krt16s. 1 hr SOT, 20 min voice call and thats it.. down to 45%. 8 hr standby time
[Nexus 4 General] ashwathravee:
I found a workaround that fixes the lag for me and it helped some other people, but it also didn't work for some others. Maybe you could give it a shot and see if it helps you.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOLghNoqbKw

IMPORTANT - After you enable widgets, remove the clock widget and manually add it again (don't just lock the screen to let Android do it automatically, choose the same stock clock widget from the list yourself).

I hope this works for you.

bluetooth disconnect in first few minutes

Had this on KT16O and still with 16S: Bluetooth phone audio disconnects for a few seconds during the first minute of a call - then it reconnects and stays on fine but gets a little bit choppy sounding at times. Did not have any of this with 4.3 and the same motorola speaker. Otherwise this thing is fantastic and appreciate all the hard work of xda developers!

Does anyone else have issues with the aosp browser? Since updating to 4.4, the browser will zoom in out while scrolling after a page loads. Also, the address bar does not disappear like it did on previous android versions.

I've seen these bugs on rastakat and psx.
[Nexus 4 General] Sfkn2:
Did you do a clean wipe when updating?
[Nexus 4 General] texla:
No it was a dirty flash of the kk16S over the kk16O build. Both irf these were from the nexus5 port. Also using Art.
[Nexus 4 General] Sfkn2:
My guess is that is where it went wrong.
[Nexus 4 General] texla:
Ok. I do feel like this happened even with the factory image fastboot I did which was a clean install of kk16O but honestly I can't remember. Will play around with some other roms over the next few days and see if it repeats....
[Nexus 4 General] ryan770:
Yes, but I've fixed it. Or I thought I had. I'm not sure anymore, but it stopped.

I installed a data management app and saw that a process called Google Account Manager was constantly pulling data.

Here's the weird part. "Android OS" was at the top of the list on the Data Usage screen. But I clicked on "Google Play Services" and saw the Google Account Manager was listed under it. So I checked "restrict background data" on Play Services. It stopped.

But now it's unchecked and my phone is running fine. No data pull, no super hot phone, no battery drain. I just got over 24 hours with 4 hours screen time.

What I'm thinking is Google needs to pull a certain amount of data for whatever reason when you do a fresh rom install. I'm really throttled right now, and I think Google was constantly trying to sync or gather information or whatever, and it was taking forever because of my speed and causing constant data usage which kept my phone hot and drained my battery.

Now I'm pretty happy with Kitkat. Running ART and even have Whatsapp running and everything has been fine for two days.

I installed it via the AOSP browser installer from the Play store, but any time I hit the menu button it FC'd. Gave up and I've been using Boat browser.

Tethering still broken
[Nexus 4 General] Sfkn2:
What do you mean it's broken?

I'm tethering fine on LTE.
[Nexus 4 General] ryan770:
tethering has worked fine for me.

But I just ran into something slightly annoying that I don't quite understand. I set my downloaded directory on my browser to "storage/sdcard0/download" and downloaded a wallpaper. In my gallery it shows two different Download folders, one with only the wallpaper, and the actual download folder with the rest of my stuff. They are the exact same folder though.

So I changed the directory to "storage/emulated/0/download" and it shows up right. So now I have 2 of the same wallpaper in the same folder, but Gallery separates them for some reason.

I don't like the idea of "emulated" when I can just go straight to the directory, but apparently Gallery reads from "emulated/0".

Could someone clarify why android does this?
[Nexus 4 General] jessec:
Strangely it never gave me the option, although maybe I defaulted to media storage the first time and forgot about it.. I've installed another file manager for another reason and that prompt is back up again and I was able to choose it again that way. It's still working for now, so we'll see how long it lasts.

Still unsure why they aren't being read automatically from the start though

With an unlock pattern for the lock screen, every so often I'll turn on the screen and it'll have the "try again in x seconds" countdown as if I had made 5 failed attempts at unlocking even though the phone was sat on my desk the whole time :confused:
