I flashed factory image of android 4.4.3 yesterday. I noticed the same smoothness of 4.4.2 stock, but multitask, according to me, is faster than previous version. Led's bug of lost call hasn't been fixed, but with lightflow it works, dialer is good. All is smooth, but I did a benchmark and I totalized 23000 points! With 4.4.2 I totalized over 33000 points! I don't know why.

Sorry for my bad English.

[MENTION=4083835]JacK.[/MENTION]..It means that file isn't the standard one. Did you install a camera mod at one point? if so, see if there's a revert zip
[Nexus 5 General] DdragonPT:
Hummm, that is interesting. What benchmark app were you using, so other people here can do the same tests. And yes, it seems like it is a big difference in the benchmark test.

[Nexus 5 General] francescobabbaro:
I use antutu benchmark.

Anyone else seeing a battery improvement? Not sure if it's the update, the kernel update I installed (Had Elementalx 0.38 with 4.4.2 and updated to 0.41 after flashing 4.4.3) or just because I did a full wipe and started afresh - but I'm seeing a reasonable increase in battery life compared to earlier. Have the same apps installed and kernel configured exactly the same as earlier. I'm still on my first day of normal battery testing - so could be a coincidence I guess - but it'd be nice if this sticks.
[Nexus 5 General] DdragonPT:
I just tested with Antutu benchmark on my full stock nexus 5 with 4.4.2, and I got 26898 points.

I am wondering if it is going to drop to 23k +-, when I update it to 4.4.3.

Cheers

PS: I would appreciate if others would do the same tests and comparison

I'm missing something

Unistalled xposed, and gravity, installed ADT and can run the "adk sideload image-hammerhead-ktu84m.zip" which loads it to the phone but get a installation aborted message on the phone,

have clockworkmod recovery v6.0.4.5 and am rooted with unlocked bootlloader

here's what I get on screen

Sideload started

Now send the package ...

restarting adbt

finding update package

Opening update package

installing update

installation aborted

so what am I missing ?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
I can't watch the link at the moment. If you have custom recovery you can flash the superSU.zip, if you have stock recovery, you can put your phone in fastboot mode and run the batch file from CF. Either way should work. (If -for any reason- after flashing you don't see superSU in the app drawer, just download it from playstore).
[Nexus 5 General] ohad123454:
I downloaded an apk of supersu , you say that all i need to do is erase the supersu i have now and then download supersu from the internet while it still on 'zip' file and not 'apk' and then go into my costume recovery (i have twerp recovery) and then just flash the supersu.zip from recovery and thats it ? I have root again ?
[Nexus 5 General] floepie:
I also took a major hit on antutu benchmark with fully stock 4.4.3. 19500.
[Nexus 5 General] thegtfusion:
yes, just download the latest supersu.zip and flash it in twrp recovery. then you will have rooot again :)
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
I'm not telling you to erase anything. If you have twrp, flash supersu zip and you're good.

[Nexus 5 General] Jöbi_1:
is it normal in 4.4.3 that the in call buttons are like this?

this is damn ugly to look at :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] NaterTots:
It's not called XDA questions. It's XDA Developers, hence it was founded on people trying to figure stuff out and then sharing their results.

But unfortunately it's mostly leaches now, just asking and never trying to solve an issue themselves or at least searching for an answer.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
0.10 is the best i got, i don't remember how was it on pre-4.4.3. I read that many of the improvements for the N5 are in binary blobs, so we might have actually gotten better drivers.

4.4.3 is in general snappier for me than previous versions, so that might be the reason as well.
[Nexus 5 General] Petarsson:
sry, mate, this does not look like my in call screen on 4.4.3, your blue buttons are still black for me...only the contacts app/call logs screen became pretty colourful...what i do not really like :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] Jöbi_1:
Damn... i found out that something with the xposed framework is doing this, the module "full screen callerID" is responsible for this nice blue buttons

For those with led issues: I tried light flow and it was inconsistent for me. Switched to light manager and all notifications (including missed calls) seem to work normally.

[Nexus 5 General] spaceman860:
Wrong. Having a custom recovery has no effect on OTA

[Nexus 5 General] Raistlin1:
Thank you Google/LG for the absolutely horrible new radio, tried using my Dunkin Donuts app for coffee and it kept loading and then said I have a poor network signal. I had to switch to 3g to get it to work.

Ran speed tests at my usual spots along my train ride was getting Sprint LTE speeds of .9mbps down (I have AT&T). And this was with a 51ms ping and full bars with LTE on.

I have also noticed the bug when closing apps, you sometimes get another random app that suddenly appears and then closes.

I unfortunately did not flash a custom recovery last night after setting up 4.4.3 because I thought this update may be like 4.4.1 where we see another one a day later so I could just take the OTA. When I get home I will have to push TWRP and then flash the previous radio and hopefully all will be good again.
[Nexus 5 General] Akr706:
Noticed the same thing after the update.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Changes to the radio are always bound to be good for some and not good for others. Unless you really need to, a radio update is probably best to be left undone if everything is working with the older version.

As for me, I got regular WIFI drops previously. With the new radio - not a single drop yet (knock wood).
[Nexus 5 General] Raistlin1:
I understand this, was just hoping for a better radio because in some spots by my job my signal isn't that great. Wasn't expecting places that was strong to become weak.

I never noticed the wifi drops previously and when at home I am always on wifi.
[Nexus 5 General] third son:
Sprint Spark

I have read through all of the posts here and have been hesitant to flash because of all the variability in people's experiences.

One thing I have not read from Sprint customers is whether Spark is now enabled. Does this work and can you see a difference in connectivity?
[Nexus 5 General] david279:
The update enabled the spark band
[Nexus 5 General] third son:
Thanks David...so it has enabled all three bands? Do you experience a difference in speed or call quality?
[Nexus 5 General] david279:
Yea it enables all three. All I have in my area is b25 and b26. And I been had those bands enabled since before the update so it's been working good for me. Can't comment on b41.
[Nexus 5 General] Raistlin1:
Add me to the no notification light list, got an email (Gmail) and no blinking light. Going to keep testing but if I don't get a Gmail notification I don't think anything else is going to work.

They must not really care about this update because the next version is coming out soon.
[Nexus 5 General] Rufufu:
I'm 95% sure that Wifi isn't related to radio, but kernel.
[Nexus 5 General] third son:
Thank you sir...great news....
[Nexus 5 General] :
I have noticed this with almost all my previous Android phones since the first Galaxy S. Whenever there is a radio update, it seems to be hit-and-miss quality wise. Some people will benefit as I said and some, like in this case you, get a downgrade. It must have something to do with network strengths, frequencies and all the other possible variables relating to networks and connections.

At least we are on Android and we can always flash back to the version that works best for us :victory:
[Nexus 5 General] AGiLiT:
Speed test on Sprint. Before and after.
[Nexus 5 General] rydako:
To further this - my mobile network signal has increased slightly, and I'm seeing slightly better mobile data speeds in some areas. - And the Nexus 5 isn't even officially sold in my country.

And this - I'm fairly sure WIFI is unrelated to the radio. - Can anyone with the technical knowledge verify this?
[Nexus 5 General] ricky56789:
New radio is worse for me
[Nexus 5 General] rushilkr:
Just to be sure before flashing, if I am on stock ROM,elemental x kernel,xposed framework,updated binaries and the volume mod and I want to upgrade to 4.4.3 without losing my SD card data, I should flash system,radio and boot using fastboot? Is that correct? Or do I need to be as close to stock as possible before using fastboot? Ie :do I need to flash the stock kernel ,remove xposed and remove all mods before I fastboot the above mentioned images?

Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks..
[Nexus 5 General] :
Thanks for this. I assumed that the new radio affected WIFI because I only flashed the new radio. Other than that I'm still on the same 4.4.2 setup as I was before except that now the WIFI drops have stopped. Lets hope I wasn't too hasty...
[Nexus 5 General] RussianBear:
Anyone else that dirty-flashed (wiped system then adb'ed new image) experiencing lack of home button (hitting it does absolutely nothing). Both apex and stock launchers are this way. I'm also missing notifications in the status bar. Before any flaming commences, I will clean flash at some point :p
[Nexus 5 General] Raistlin1:
Very strange, my notification light is now working.

I unselected and then selected "Pulse notification light" under display settings and then rebooted, but this did not work as I did not get any LED notifications when an email or BBM came through. So I then downloaded Light Manager per a few posts back suggestion but I have NOT even opened the app to set it up.

Screen was off and I heard a notification and saw a light out of the corner of my eye and wouldn't you know it, the LED is now working.

On Sprint, sometimes got LTE in my house on 4.4.2., on 4.4.3. I get LTE in my house more consistently, connected to band 26 which is the 850mhz band I believe. Think this confirms "spark" (tri-band LTE) is enabled.

There's a bug in AOSP since KitKat causing notification light not working for very first notification until device is unlocked (screen turned on). After that light for all upcoming notifications will work.
[Nexus 5 General] Raistlin1:
No I did not uninstall, I will do that now and see if the LED keeps working.

Update: Uninstalled light manager app and I am still getting notifications.
[Nexus 5 General] Luxferro:
I had my stock LED start working again after trying LED light apps as well. But currently using gravity box so I can control colors at least.
[Nexus 5 General] FreemanAMG:
I just tried that. Didn't worked. Do you have any other suggestion? Or should I start trying to contact Google?
[Nexus 5 General] Charlus97:
Well, that's not a software problem so, yes, contact google for a RMA. (and relock your bootloader, get back to stock 4.2.2, before you send them your old phone. Just in case.)
[Nexus 5 General] FreemanAMG:
Do you think google really cares if you unlock the bootloader? In the end, they give you the option, is not a hack or exploit, like with, let's say, Samsung phones.
[Nexus 5 General] Charlus97:
Well, I don't think they cares about it (as many members reported it was fine with unlocked bootloader and rooted device at RMA).

But I already had the problem with a Asus pad : They asked me 120€ to change a screen that stopped working suddenly because the pad was unlocked (not rooted). And unlocking the pad wasn't an hack/exploit, Asus gave us the tool to do it.
[Nexus 5 General] pinoymutt:
Would you really want to take a chance for them to deny your warranty claim for something that takes 5 seconds to do? I believe there is also TAMPER flag that may have been tripped depending on what you did with your phone.

Sideload OTA

I sideloaded the OTA, instead of using the full package like many did, and doing dirty flashes.

My notification light works fine, I've noticed not app bugs or strange apps popping up.

On T-mobile, signal is about the same even in my apartment that has really crappy reception

it stays connected, and I get about 6 mbps on LTE but I not have no bars and signal reads 0db 99asu.

Upload is actually a little faster in both bad signal area (my apartment) and good signal areas (office)

a few mbps faster in each location.

Flashing just the radio, or dirty flashes etc might be a lot of people's problem.

Of course Sprint made more changes to their portion of the radio, so maybe Sprint users are having a completely different experience compared to

GSM/LTE users on AT&T and T-mobile

Is this normal?

i unplugged the phone from charger when current widget says "0mAH", then left it on the desk, no calls, no wake ups what so ever,

then i realized my battery dropped %2 after 3 hours and 19 minutes. which is pretty good to me.

android operating system used %81 of battery. so i guess it's normal but i am not sure?

i flashed 4.4.3 dirty over stock 4.4.2 via fastboot, only i didn't flashed "user_data.img" due to not losing my data. then i flashed twrp and rooted by superSU.

i haven't got any bad noise while shooting indoor video but the sound quality of video is very very bad and mono. not distorted but just bad. i haven't got led notifications either.

GPS issue now?

How is every ones GPS after the update? I can only get a gray dot on Google Maps now. On 4.4.2 I could get a solid lock, even indoors. This is with a complete clean flash of factory image (flash-all.sh).

So far radio is 5-10 dBm weaker and my GPS won't lock. LED notifications seem to be working as they should though.
[Nexus 5 General] GldRush98:
I feel like I'm seeing reduced battery life. 2 days isn't really enough time to say for sure, but I feel like something is up.
[Nexus 5 General] lolcopter:
Noticeably better imo, I get multiple locks indoors almost instantly which never happened before

Battery also seems better, 4 hours SOT seems like the standard
[Nexus 5 General] movielover76:

My GPS locks really fast on 4.4.3, probably faster than before. Though I didn't time it, never had GPS issues on my Nexus 5
