Bad, really bad update.:mad::mad: My battery life has gone from bad to worse. I don't have a single app installed apart from the stock ones and the battery drops like 3-4% per hour in idle and that's been the story since the last 3-4 recharge cycles. Notification led does not work which was not the case with 4.4.2.

I never had any signal, wifi or data connection problems with 4.4.2 in the first place so can't comment on that. The only positive thing I noticed is slightly improved focus speed in the camera. I'll be going back to 4.4.2 until there's a solution for the battery problem at least.

I really don't understand what justifies this as an UPDATE? When you take away features or push in in-complete ones that don't work, leave alone any improvements as promised, its a downgraded system IMO.
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
The new modem is pretty crap on T-Mobiles LTE. I think the best radio for me was KTRM16 (the one it shipped with I believe)

Battery life is still too soon to tell for me.
[Nexus 5 General] Dr Tone:
That particular scenario doesn't do it for me. I notice it every time I leave the Nine-Activesync app. But I'm now back on Nova Launcher, it happened much more often on Google Now Launcher.

[Nexus 5 General] DT USC:
terrible for me. i've had 4.4.2 since it came out and use my phone for the samething everyday. maybe a little more one day than another, but over a 3 day period it is exact same compaired between any 2 weeks. I used to have my battery going dead on the way home about 6-7 pm. The last three days on 4.4.3 my phone has been in the red by lunch, completely dead by lunchtime. Sucks. And I can find any random thing that might be causing it. Battery states says "android" used 25 percent of full charge by 11:30 today. Not sure if that is more than it used to be. Didn't check it a much in the past, because the battery life was good for what I needed it for.

Battery life

What are you talking about? Battery life is the best on 4.4.3. On my first cycle, battery was awful, but right after the magic happened. I'm only rooted with stock kernel. This is the best perfomance by far for me. And I didn't watch a single movie. Only whatsapp and tapatalk, data always on.
[Nexus 5 General] anshmiester78900:
True story bro . even I'm getting the best battery life out from my N5 even after having location and sync on I got 5 hrs of SOT which was great as my screen brightness was set on auto.
[Nexus 5 General] sparhawk6:
One change I noticed with 4.4.3 is that Airplane mode now toggles Bluetooth. Didn't used to do that before.
[Nexus 5 General] BSnapp:
Pardon me for butting in on this, as I have a Nexus 7. Just wanted to say, that I have noticed faster battery drain since updating. Not just affecting the nexus 5.

[Nexus 5 General] NaterTots:
Maybe you have higher standards regarding music than I do.

But on 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 I've never had pops and cracks over Bluetooth.

It's been fine in my wife's car an and connected to my home receiver Which is every day.

Maybe a defective phone or BT that you're connecting too?
[Nexus 5 General] m1tch:
To clarify - the issue is only apparent with voice calls over BT. Media streaming or sat nav etc works great.

Also my car bluetooth is OK. It is just my headset (plantronics voyager PRO HD) which has issues. - even though it is crystal clear with other BT devices. The people I'm talking too can hear me perfectly and if I switch to handset or speaker the issue goes away (just to rule our phone reception)

[Nexus 5 General] Mark376:
+1 but my case was GT racing 2 and wild blood obb files. The folder is nowhere to be seen and the obb folder can't be delete. My solution is to reflash the factory images and start from scratch. Or try to copy all your internal storage and backup your app with helium. And try to flash the stock images. Restore your backup, your internal storage and good luck.

Maybe other find another faster, simpler solution.

Has someone been able to install ktu84m factory image succesfully? I got always error message at the beginning of system update process "error: update package missing system.img". I even checked md5 of the factory image file and it mached with google developer sites. Dunno.. Kot49h flashed fine. I was able to update to ktu84m using OTA.zip file, but just wondering if I'm the only one with this weird problem. Battery life of 4.4.3 is way better than 4.4.2! And finally video recordings have usable audio quality ;D

An adb full backup? I haven't test it yet but theoretically it should backup all your app and settings.

Here's the thread from GNex http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-phone-backup-unlock-root-t1420351

And there's a linux command called fsck it might work on android. If it doesn't start from scratch is the only solution.
[Nexus 5 General] JuanOfMany:
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the volume has improved while streaming via Bluetooth in my car. The funny thing is that I was searching for a fix for this exact issue an hour before the OTA downloaded itself. Previously while streaming an audiobook, I had to have the volume in my Fiesta at almost 3/4 in order to hear everything clearly. Yesterday after the update, I only had to have the car stereo's volume at about 50%. I'll test again with music, switching between streaming from Play Music to Sirius at the same volume level. Before, streaming music was markedly quieter at the same volume setting on the car.
[Nexus 5 General] g1xx3r:
I bought my N5 used and apparently the previous owner had it rooted and TWRP installed. I am an absolute noob when it comes to rooting so I guess its time for a crash course.. After the 4.3 OTA update, I guess my root is broken. SuperSu gives the following error..

"There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it.This is a problem. If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root consult the relevant forums for your device."

When I got to the bootlader and recovery, I get the Android on his back with the red triangle. I can only reboot from there. Please advise how to get root back. Hopefully I do not lose my data as I have the phone the way I want it. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 General] bobby janow:
I've never seen that message but I followed the original rooting / recovery procedure when I bought the phone. I just put "There is no SU binary Nexus 5" into a Google search and it said that you probably don't have a custom recovery installed as that is the sign from stock recovery. Head over to the root thread and make sure you follow the steps to install a custom recovery. I believe you need to do that in fastboot if I recall correctly. Good luck.
[Nexus 5 General] Miqueas111:

Error message

Attached is the error message I get when trying to install the zip from TWRP. I uninstalled Xposed through the app. Then used TWRP. Tried unrooting and then installing and got the same error.

Could it be because I kept Xposed on my phone as well as the modules, even though I hit uninstall inside the xposed app to revert changes and disable it? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] kraven001:
There is still a change in the system files. Search for the update fixer posted here a couple of times or use fastboot to return to stock 4.4.2 sys image or remember what fix you did (maybe some volume tweak) and revert that. In any case I think that Scenario 5 applies ;)
[Nexus 5 General] KyonLion:
Hey guys, first time poster, long time lurker.

Having that error as well with SuperSU. Going to redo the CF Auto Root process and then reflash TWRP... as soon as SDK installs on my crappy laptop. Will let you know what happens.

CFAuto forum posts about 4.4.3 update procedure (They say you may need to manually install SuperSU from Play Store but I am not sure.)

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/nexus-5-cf-auto-root-t2507211/page61

UPDATE:

For anyone having problems with SuperSU error messages after updating to 4.4.3, you will need to redo the rooting process. CF Auto Root is the easiest one. You will also have to manually download SuperSU from the play store. Make sure that you do another Nandroid/EFS backup after updating. :)

[Nexus 5 General] szucsgf:
Wifi and data always on, everything always synced, high accuracy location, location history and reporting on, stock auto brightness. No "battery-saving" apps like Greenify or Juice Defender. ART. Stock ROM stock kernel default settings. Of that 50% battery usage about 35% was wifi 15% was LTE.

I find that wakelocks and signal strength are the most important variables with battery life. Control your wakelocks and make sure you're running the best modem for you.

This isn't a battery life thread and I don't want to derail this already-busy thread, but feel free to PM me if you want to have a conversation about this. I don't profess to be an expert but I'm happy to chat.

Actually, this was supposed to be fixed with 4.4.3. Read the article here to see if there's any help for you. I actually had that once on 4.4.2 and read something to fix it (I didn't have Skype or any other apps that may have cause the problem) but can't remember. I may have force-stopped the camera then rebooted. It's been months and has not returned.

Still don't get it why some people try to somehow dirty flash a new update to their phones and then they complain about issues.

I do a clean flash ( Full reset with Factory Image ) everytime an update arrives.

It's not hard to backup all images and music/videos to your computer, and all apps are quickly installed and setup too.

I have 0% problems since I have a fresh phone rooted and fully working

Fixed Nexus 4 that was rebooting after 4.4.3 update

My Nexus 4 with stock ROM was rebooting after 4.4.3 OTA update. Here is how I fixed it.

The device was booting normally. Then after a minute or so, even before it loaded the widgets, it was freezing and rebooting itself. I didn't get any network signal either. After the reboot it would get stuck in the booting loading screen (the one with four colored dots). The only way to get out of there was long pressing the power button (then it would boot again and repeat the process).

Later, I managed to quickly switch from ART to Dalvik in the developer settings, before it rebooted itself. Now everything works fine.

Didn't try to switch back to ART yet.

Hope to help anyone with similar issues. :good:

[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
For anyone who seriously can't apply the update via OTA or is experiencing problems, I highly recommend that you reload stock 4.4.3 image and continue from there accordingly.

(Of course don't forget to back up everything under /sdcard/data or you will LOSE EVERYTHING.)
[Nexus 5 General] [XIX]Secutor:
The factory image contains the whole 4.4.3 rom, while the ota only the upgrade files; if you install a whole factory image, it replaces your current rom. If you install the ota instead, it simply upgrades/replaces only the files needed for the 4.4.3 upgrade, and this is why it'll only work on a stock 4.4.2 rom.
