Is anyone getting ota updates?

Been reading since yesterday and everyone is flashing it or side loading.

I am in the UK and nothing.
[Nexus 5 General] Dan1909:
Give it a few days at least. Could be a week or so before it's rolled out to all areas.

If you really want it now, just flash the OTA yourself.
[Nexus 5 General] BoneXDA:
Patience. It may take several days, like any OTA rollout.
[Nexus 5 General] carlese:
Guys is the problem with default apps fixed or not??? No one answers but instead of talking of camera (which we know has been fixed), try to install something like mx player and open a video from browser.. does it ask which player to use or does it launch directly the stock browser player? THIS is a really annoying bug that applies also for other apps..
[Nexus 5 General] dehsA:
Don't have 4.4.1 yet but had the same problem as you once. That day I barely used my phone and my phone was down to 35% with less than 1 hour SOT. Phone was in deep sleep the majority of the time (8 out of 10 hours or so) but Phone Idle together with Android OS accounted for 26% of the total battery usage.

I just rebooted the phone and the next day all was okay again.
[Nexus 5 General] meangreenie:
Yes that seems to be fixed.
[Nexus 5 General] LBTaylor1984:
I sidedloaded it to of being impatient. Works fine, I was Rooted, with TWRP, stock ROM. UK Owner here.

a friend has sideloaded & is now stuck on the colour boot up screen - Any Ideas why or what to do - he is rooted but has stock recovery
[Nexus 5 General] meangreenie:
Auto brightness seems to be fixed too. Or at least much better.

[MENTION=313982]home[/MENTION]:

Try fastboot flashing the system.img of your previous factory image KRT16M and then do the adb sideload upgrade again.

This won't wipe anything and might fix a messed upgrade.
[Nexus 5 General] SonicAngel:
I was running stock rom and kernel with CWM and root. Only installed cam & speaker mods. Reverted these mods, installed the new update and lost root. But where I was surprised, I went back to recovery to re-root and got an error loading recovery. Re flashed CWM recovery, now that works, re flashed Super SU and it's not working... Anyone have any idea why? I'm using UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.69.zip for the SU.

EDIT

NVM, went back to the root guide, noticed there's a new version, download 1.80, works like a charm.
[Nexus 5 General] postm:
Just confirming that the yellow tint in now gone on my display. Just when it kinda grew on me. Also, radio is new.
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
I also hope it fixes some UI glitches swell but the camera does seem to be updated very well.
[Nexus 5 General] CNLiberal:
Forgive my dumbness, but to which Exchange bug are you referring?
[Nexus 5 General] Tung_meister:
I just wish they'd update the camera app itself and offer basic features that other manufactures provide such as slowmo recording etc.
[Nexus 5 General] muyoso:
I'm thinking that its going to be quite a few updates before the camera experience is awesome on the nexus. I figure this update they fix the focus issues. Then at least one more update to fix low light issues and further adjust focus and exposure settings. And then another update to overhaul the camera app and hopefully add in some features that its sorely lacking. I think those that expect this one update to fix the camera completely will be disappointed.

[Nexus 5 General] dave99:
Not the one you quoted, but the bug I saw on mine was when exchange was set to push, it would silently stop syncing at some point. Just wouldn't do anything, have to go in and refresh manually. Worked fine on previous android versions, including 4.3 on my N7 2013, once updated to 4.4, it also exhibited the same symptoms. Setting the sync frequency from push to 10 minutes seems to work, but is a duct tape solution. They did something in 4.4 that made it less reliable.
[Nexus 5 General] ldkud50:
The infinite sync loop which drains the battery. The problem has something to do with contacts.
[Nexus 5 General] CNLiberal:
Ahh. That would be why I haven't seen the issue. I'm not syncing Exchange Contacts. Thanks all!
[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
Think they'll be any update to ART runtime?
[Nexus 5 General] marcusva79:
Thinking it will be a huge update with camera. Bugs will still exist but will have better features and faster. Also hopefully get rid of the holo blue. There is still a lot lol
[Nexus 5 General] haydonxda:
I guess it's too soon to wish for the new camera API to be included?

I'm under the impression that they wanted to get the new camera API in there with 4.4 but when they realized they couldn't they had to fall back to getting something out the door. The not-so-great camera we're seeing today.

i just hope the quicker shutter will not make the photo quality worse, especially in low light. i am more than satisfied with low light photos the way they come out now.

[Nexus 5 General] zivan56:
I use the phone as a dashcam on my way to work, and the Nexus 5 always focuses on the windshield, making the whole image blurry. Didn't have that issue with my Nexus 4, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Note, and HTC HD2. Perhaps they will allow locking focus to a certain level/infinite for such cases or fix the problem.
[Nexus 5 General] ravenwood27:
Whoa apparently now there'll be 2 HDR mode :

HDR

HDR+

If you have a look at the pictures posted in that google+ post.....look at the first pic of the guy sitting mountain-side...it says HDR+ can have too much dynamic range at times....., the 2nd identical picture is much better and it says HDR !!!!
[Nexus 5 General] kraven001:
Seems better now after fully charging, we'll see what's up with that, if it's not completely fine will reset to factory maybe using a factory image (if that pops up).
[Nexus 5 General] NathanV1977:
ART won't work for me

After I upgraded to 4.4.1, I tried to enable ART and got stuck on the color splash screen animation (twice. I restored and then upgraded again and did it the same both times).

I'm assuming this is related to the qualcomm dalvik binaries that I installed on 4.4, but prior to upgrading to 4.4.1 I flashed stock system and boot images.

So, my question is, wouldn't flashing a stock system.img overwrite whatever flashing qualcomm dalvik stuff did? Or does that binary live somewhere else?

Does anyone have any ideas why a freshly upgrade 4.4.1 might get very stuck when switching to ART?
[Nexus 5 General] Deeco7:
Everyone here going mad and trying to figure out what's new and what's placebo in 4.4.1 lol. Let's leave that to AP to do a teardown. ;)

What's new in 4.4.1, from Android Central:

http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-5/341412-whats-new-android-4-4-1-a.html

Misc camera changes (N5 only)

"Photos" now the default gallery app when swiping out of the Camera app

Haptic feedback is softer / duration reduced (N5 only)

Bug that left the notification bar partly opaque has been fixed

Bug causing low quality output from internal speaker in certain apps has been fixed (N5 only)

Cell/Wifi/battery icons in the notification bar are now aligned properly

Certain apps (e.g. WhatsApp) that were broken on ART before seem to work

Option for 4G/LTE under Mobile Data now shows "recommended."

LED pulses more frequently for regular notifications (e.g. Gmail)

Wireless display now called 'Cast screen'

[Nexus 5 General] TurboD:
Nexus 5 with 4.4.1 seems to have removed the ability to upload pictures to Picasa from the gallery. I know they want to move to Google+, but has anyone figured out how to upload pictures to specific albums yet? I can pick upload with Photos, but it doesn't give me an album selection, they all just go into Auto Backup folder.
[Nexus 5 General] xybur:
I'd advise being careful with Odexed mods (the camera mod, battery% mod, volume boost, 4 way reboot menu, dpi mod etc) if you're running a basically stock rom after loading this OTA

After successfully upgrading, I figured it'd be safe to load the 4 way reboot menu and battery% mod. I flashed both in TWRP back to back (reported "success"), then tried to load my phone up and it sat indefinitely on the boot screen forever trying to load. I must have waited 20 minutes before deciding to restart.

Instead of wiping everything and starting over, I just flashed the OTA again in TWRP and it finally worked. But yeah... user beware when it comes to those mods. Things might break.
[Nexus 5 General] Evo_Shift:
Doesn't look like it, at least every time I've seen it mentioned people just say to sideload it rather than answer the question. I'm waiting too, impatiently.
[Nexus 5 General] giannis_ch:
Not sure if it has been mentioned before, but it looks like that they also fixed the bug where the phone unlocks itself when you have a missed call.

It's super easy mate.

I'm not a noob to it, but I was trying to stay stock as I always fiddle and spend more time tweaking than using the freaking thing.

All you need to do is download the Nexus Toolkit.

Unlock the phone

Root the phone

with

Custom Recovery

Follow the onscreen instructions which are in very good english, and extremely simple to follow, once done, copy over the OTA.zip

Shut the phone down

Hold down volume and press the power key

The bootloader comes up, choose recovery with the volume keys confirm with the power button

Starts recovery

Choose to make a backup and tick everything.

once done tap the home symbol

tap install and locate update.zip, confirm install.

wait

and it will complete.

choose restart, your now on 4.4.1

If you have root, the easiest way is to use Rom Installer. It has the latest version of TWRP on there.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.rom.installer

Otherwise download it from the TWRP site and flash it in fastboot.

Did 4.4.1 fix the bug when calling and getting a busy number the phone will not hang up???
[Nexus 5 General] lininjim:
Hellfire, flashed this in TWRP, then it seemed to crash out, now on boot I have unknown baseband and back in TWRP it is unable to mount cache.

Update, managed to re-format it in TWRP and then it works now (baseband and everything). (breathes again).....
[Nexus 5 General] AceKingNYC:
Done! Super easy. I appreciate it.

Last question -

So i can transfer the OTA.zip and SuperSU 1.8 to the phone via Android Tranfer...boot into recovery..then flash the OTA then immediately SuperSU then reboot and I should be update with root preserved?
[Nexus 5 General] GldRush98:
Yes
[Nexus 5 General] AceKingNYC:
All done. Worked without a hitch. Thank you for the assist.
[Nexus 5 General] Ibkevin:
Where can I find the SuperSU V 1.8 apk? I searched but can't find it.
[Nexus 5 General] dandrep:
No, it doesn't appear that the added a lot of new functionality. The existing functionality is noticeably better all around.

Why is this rollout taking so long

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] AceKingNYC:
Just wanted to outline the steps I took to update to 4.4.1 and no lose root.

My N5 was bone stock except for unlocking the bootloader/root/TWRP

Updated TWRP to latest version 2.6.3.4 (done through Rom Installer since Goo Manager wasnt working)

Downloaded SuperSU 1.8

DOwnloaded OTA update via link in the first page of this post

Transferred OTA and SuperSU to N5 via Android Transfer

Booted into TWRP

Installed OTA

Immediately installed SuperSU 1.8

Rebooted

DONE!

And for what it's worth, Im on a Mac - but since I didnt use fastboot, it shouldn't matter
[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
Seriously? It has only been one day. Nexus rollouts take about 2 weeks.
[Nexus 5 General] lightfire:
Someone posted on the other thread that this was fixed! Yes!!! I was about to get ready to get another phone.
[Nexus 5 General] gee one:
Here is what I did to not lose root. It's probably overkill but part of the fun is the process.

1) download ota

2) unzip

3) apply patches to previous system files ( I have a little script and x86 binary to help) and insert new files.

4) add custom sounds, busybox, and superuser/supersu

5) rezip

6) flash

7) profit

I also zipped up the boot loader updates and applied those. I patched the radio, but didn't, flash it yet.

It's more of the diy approach.

D'oh! My apologies for the brain fart. I got a little flustered last night thinking I'd bricked my device, so I totally forgot that I had installed that when it was released. I took one look at it, considered it a little over my head, and promptly forgot about it.

Thanks for the quick reply.
[Nexus 5 General] lowandbehold:
I'm guessing you are either not in the US, or are a Nexus virgin. I am on my 4th generation of Nexus devices (6th if you include tablets), and most of the time the update hits instantly. At most...24 hours.

[Nexus 5 General] AceKingNYC:
I could be completely wrong, but I'm assuming since 4.4.1 addresses volume/sound issues - there may be a conflict with the sound mod you applied and the update. I would try reverting back and trying again
[Nexus 5 General] Evo_Shift:
Yeah, I haven't seen one person say it has other than a single person who I think was trolling a board when update was first confirmed. I don't think google has started the actual OTA.

Everyone got the kitkat update immediately when they bought the phone so the whole 2 week update period seems odd. If google can handle day 1 updates they can handle a very small OTA without spreading it over several weeks.

Part of why I bought a nexus is because I want updates from Google without dealing with adb or tool kits and all the junk I had to deal with on my past phones. I have a supersu pro to keep root and want to update at work.
[Nexus 5 General] AndreaCristiano:
I have to agree. Its usually prompt when the OTA releases and no one has it who hasn't side loaded
