[G2 General] Cienight:
I think this deserves its own thread so more people will be able to get a better view of the Vodafone Kit Kat update which i got today as an OTA ( D80220A DE 16GB ).

1. Auto brightness works perfectly (although it's a bit dark in low light conditions,maybe my eyes have to get used to it)

2. Knock on is instant, works perfectly and it's 100% accurate and successful (led light flashes cyan instead of white)

3. Auto account sync now works perfectly(it used to refresh randomly)

4. Battery life is actually better

5. Some apps run faster and they have the 3 dot option which first appeared on 4.3 I think?

6. Locations services and gps have merged to a single toggle button but you can still switch to different modes. Also more battery efficient.

7. White icons on status bar and transparency for status bar + front touch buttons on apps that support it

8. Updated LG applications

9. On screen phone application added (allows to control phone screen from the computer while on wifi) and preinstalled Google Drive app.

10. Camera photos are saved by default in a "camera" folder instead of the 100LGDSC.Camera(old) contains the old photos in gallery.

11. No knock code and no ART options available.

12. In application settings there is a separate "Disabled" bar next to "All" listing the disabled apps (Which is very convenient)

13. Printing added on general settings

14. 4G works normaly as before

15. The font on some apps is bigger

16. Weather animation now working properly and without lag on the lockscreen

17. Camera autofocus seems to have been improved, especially in video recording

18. No more stuttering on menu animations while something else runs in the background (i.e. When a chat head pops up or the weather widget refreshes)

19. Option in settings for turning on or off the led notification light for downloaded apps

20. Aspect ratio correction was removed from the settings (I can't find it so correct me if i'm wrong)

21. Two new FM radio widgets available

Changelist by the community members,not confirmed by me:

Issues:

1. "com.google.process.gapps has stopped" error showing up after each boot

(Note : Reportedly a hard reset fixes this)

(Note 2 : I confirmed that SwiftKey causes the error and it should be resolved by an app update.

Vote for the bug here: http://support.swiftkey.net/forums/...stions/5560697-foreclose-on-lg-g2-at-t-kitkat)

2. The Bluetooth process is running even when off but i don't see high impact on battery life as others mentioned.

Eventually people will report the issue and it will be fixed in a future update.

3. Noise and hissing when playing music with earphones and the stock player.

4. Sometimes,when plugging in the headphones the sound comes only from the the phone speaker and only way to resolve this is by rebooting.

(As for the lower benchmark scores after KitKat i've never tried it and i couldn't care less)

Additional thoughts:

This update is more like an "under the hood" job ! Phone feels smoother and stable overall, many small issues have been sorted and a few details here and there were refined and polished, resulting in a stock Rom the way it should be done. In short words I'm very satisfied.

Feel free to ask me questions

Regards!
