Ok, I've been using rooted stock ROM with Xposed, and I've been using a modified TWRP and kernel with hard exec patch to support multi ROM.

Now what all do I need to revert to update to 4.4.3?

And is it really worth it?

Can I just flash the system.img without having to undo anything??

And can someone post the apk of the new dialer app?

Thanks!

No issues here. Was streaming music in my car for nearly 2 hours yesterday with no trouble.
[Nexus 4 General] Strider Nemesis:
The WiFi (ARP offload) issue was fixed in Android 4.4. That issue would delay notifications for hours and make the phone not respond to ping requests once it fell asleep.

What you are experiencing now is probably a short delay caused by WiFi Optimization. I've found that this doesn't work very well with some routers; my E1200 Linksys router, for instance. Disabling this option won't cause your battery to drain much more (it causes a 2-3% hike in WiFi consumption, in my experience). For me, this "WiFi Optimization" is not worth it. Just disable it, and see how things go.

Furthermore, there's also the "heartbeat" problem that occurs with some routers (my Linksys router included) that close idle connections too fast. If you are experiencing this issue, your notifications will be delayed by a maximum of 14 minutes, but it's more like 3-5 minutes usually. To take care of this, you can install Push Notifications Fixer and set the WiFi heartbeat interval to 1 minute. Again, you'll probably not notice the additional battery drain caused by this.

[Nexus 4 General] FormerSlacker:
I have the exact same issue, completely stock... the navigation bar is black while the notification bar is still transparent.
[Nexus 4 General] bongio94:
I see an improvement about the battery life! :good:
[Nexus 4 General] eckbauer:
Lost all notifications.

Have to check all E-Mail accounts manually.

PS all accounts are Setup for push notification.

Worked fine on 4.4.2.

Edit:Working again.
[Nexus 4 General] FrankBullitt:
In my case there is a huge improvement on battery, but it's directly related to the new radio and the GSM signal handling improvements.

I was always suffering from battery drain when I was at my workplace because of the lack of gsm signal inside the building (around -105dBm). This meant that when I arrived at work around 9am the phone was fully charged and around 11am It would always be less than 70% with little to no usage (and the phone got hot just due to the constant search for signal).

Right now, and after flashing stock two days ago and using only a couple of xposed modules (gravity and softkeys), It's still at 86% at 16:22 (right now). The signal is not that much better (~ -95dBm), but the way it handles the signal is incredibly better (and it's now a cold phone).

I was expecting this update to be just a small improvement for my wifi issues, and it turned out to be a huge fix for the radio.

Good job google.
[Nexus 4 General] failly:
Already fixed it, replaced wallpaper and icon pack. It's transparant now. :D
[Nexus 4 General] FormerSlacker:
Thanks for this, that was indeed the issue. For some reason the wallpaper didn't stretch all the way to the bottom, had to manually stretch it down. Bizzare.

[Nexus 4 General] migueldbr:
thats actually pretty bad lol. on 4.4.2 i get 4h30/5h screen time with 24 hours standby
[Nexus 4 General] hell-zerg:
My conclusion, using clean installed 4.4.3 factory image with ART and HTC One M8 binaries:

+ Faster Wi-Fi connection

+ H+ mobile data is stable

+ No bluetooth issues

+ No reboots while using camera

+ Colors are better and more natural than before

+ Nice new dialer

+ Improved battery life with stock kernel, I get 4/4,5 screen on time all day long

Overall, nice performance!
[Nexus 4 General] sky0165:
where did you got those binaries? are they safe to be flashed over nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 General] hell-zerg:
You can download them here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36993062/Patches/htc_one_m8_4.4.3_binaries.zip

Yes, they are safe.
[Nexus 4 General] kpcz:
Few reboots while in camera, especially while using flash.

Camera super slow while in HDR mode + image quality a bit strange.

Overall peroformance feels worse. Any ideas how to rollback update?
[Nexus 4 General] Petto10:
What is the benefit of this binaries? Btw Just flash it in recovery?
[Nexus 4 General] CBMC:
Yes. I have it on the 2 Bluetooth devices I have tried. I am on purity 4.4.3. I was going to flash to complete stock and test, but wanted to see if it was a problem with 4.4.3. Mine happens about once a minute. Maybe less often. Out of curiosity, are you completely stock?
[Nexus 4 General] vickpick:
Had a reboot in snapchat today. I hadn't had those for a while (after camera app got updated). Issue came back after the update.
[Nexus 4 General] makakalo:
I'm stock w/root and using ART. Oddly, the skipping didn't happen while I was driving today, but it started again as soon as I pulled into my garage. I thought it might be Wi-Fi interference, but it still skipped even with Wi-Fi turned off. I still have a few more things to try, but I'm preparing myself for the ordeal of doing a full wipe.
[Nexus 4 General] hell-zerg:
Faster code execution with optimized dalvik libraries and faster memory access with optimized bionic libraries.

Yes, flash it in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache then reboot.
[Nexus 4 General] CBMC:
I did a full wipe when I moved from

4.4.2. I did another full wipe after I noticed the problem. Might try unplugging my wifi and see since I live in the country and don't pick up any other signals.
[Nexus 4 General] karthi89:
I don't think u will get benefited by optimized dalvik libraries since ur running art.

does anybody experienced extreme battery drain from google services in 4.4.3?? i don't know why but i had google now dissabled (from google now option not freezed) and it was eating away my battery. the same settings in 4.4.2 was not battery hungry at all
[Nexus 4 General] IseeDEADbodies:
I'll also put some battery info photos of my N4.

This is some kind of moderate usage. Done some photos, listen to music, playing some games, a little time spent on the web via wi-fi. Something that I normally do with my device in a normal day.

I tried to istall 4.4.3 via OTA - it downloaded, but then I asked me if i want to install untrusted zip (or something like that). I agreed, but installation didn't complete. An error occured. You cant see it in the attachment. Can someona help?
[Nexus 4 General] HiM@L:

[Nexus 4 General] Fatal_Enigma:
I have found since upgrading to 4.4.3 my battery life has vastly improved. I was getting a lot of msm_hsic_host wakelocks before the update and they seem to have been cut down since upgrading. Maybe it's the new radio.
[Nexus 4 General] polzovotel:
In my case 4.4.3 fixed StartObexPbapTransaction issue with bluetooth headset (BlueAnt Q3).

BT also seems to work without disconnects when using my Toyota Prius BT.
[Nexus 4 General] pkadavid:
I came from stock 4.4.2 (deodex, root, franco kernel) to 4.4.3 (odex, root, stock kernel), and although everything else is running smoothly, the one game that I play (Candy Crush) is jittery.

Anyone experiencing any jittery graphics on games since the update?
[Nexus 4 General] IseeDEADbodies:
Actually I do. On 2048 i noticed some small stutters while moving the boxes, but I guess it's just because the apps aren't modified yet for the new version. And when the apps are updated, everythin will be fine.
[Nexus 4 General] pkadavid:
Cool. I'll try to be patient, then. The battery life (although good before) has gotten even better with 4.4.3, and I want to try to stick with the stock kernel for a bit to see how it does.
[Nexus 4 General] ykazimir:
Lock screen

Sleep/wakup side button started having latency and is sometimes completely unresponsive. I have to push it twice sometimes.

Doesn anyone else have this issue?

I am pure stock/unlocked/non-rooted and received stock OTA.
[Nexus 4 General] stuffynet:
Me to. Easy fix for me. Remove the back cover and put a small paper or plastic foil between the cover button and the mainboard button. The gap between the cover button and the mainboard button got bigger and that's why it is hard to press.
[Nexus 4 General] ykazimir:
Thanks for the advice, mate. I just dont believe in coincidence! I started having these delays after 4.4.3 OTA.

My button seems as clicky as it was before.

I will try your advice if no software reasoning is found.
[Nexus 4 General] stuffynet:
Same here but after installing stock 4.4.2. The clickness was allright but had to push harder or a second time. Now I have no problem anymore. But do this in warranty if have it or at a specialized place.

battery life

Hey ,are you in 4.4.3 witch stock kernnel?,,gplay services location in what mode?

my battery life isnt as good as yours and im with cm 11 4.4.3 ,but i was on stock last week as the same results..:rolleyes:

'
[Nexus 4 General] IseeDEADbodies:
Yes, I'm currently sporting stock rom and stock kernel. And the location mode is "battery saving" with both location history and location reporting are switched to ON. But like I said in my OP, the screens that I've posted are from what is called "moderate" usage. In heavy usage, I found the battery drains extremely fast, but as we all know - in that point the N4 isn't the best. If you see yourself as a heavy user I think somethin with 2.5 hours SOT time will be the limit, it really depends on a lot of things, such as what kind of apps you're using, and personal customization, etc. At least my "heavy usage" is something like this - always connected to a wi-fi spot or 3G, a lot of web browsing, youtube , online radio streaming, facebook, bla-bla :D.. Playing games (recently I got addicted to Real Racing 3, it's awesome, lol :D). I even used the Navigation a lot because my job was linked with going to exact adresses and stuff, but I don't use it that much nowadays. Anyway, the point is - almost everytime when I go out, I take my charger with me. Because otherwise my phone won't make it through the day, especially if I went out at the morning. But thankfully, the days of "hard usage" are kinda behind my back :D

I hope I gave you some useful information, cheers =]

So what is the conclusion here?

i'm on 4.4.2 stock with hellscore kernel 192mhz lowest intelli governor with .98 hybrid lte radio and it runs great..I get about 2-3 days battery life with screen usually 3-5 hours.

I can't imagine getting better battery life and from i've read here it doesn't look like there's any improvements..i'm not gonna risk it
[Nexus 4 General] IseeDEADbodies:
When the stable 4.4.3 hell's kernel is out, it would be worth it, but for now, yes. There's no big benefit of the update.
[Nexus 4 General] makakalo:
I started to get the Bluetooth skipping in my car again and have narrowed it down to a conflict with Wi-Fi. The only way I could get the skipping to stop was by turning off Wi-Fi and background scanning. I also got some nasty force close glitches while using navigation so something is definitely broken in 4.4.3 (or my phone). I'll be doing a full wipe and reset once I get back home. Hopefully that fixes things or it's off to Moto X/Nexus 5 land for me.
[Nexus 4 General] dralways:
So some are having issues with Wifi tethering? Is this correct?
[Nexus 4 General] Haemp:
Having the exact same issue with the N4. It's fine at home but when I come in to the office it starts skipping like a nervous boxer. I really appreciate you publishing your findings here.

i prefer to use the original charger of my Nexus 4 since it has a 1.2A rating than other wall charger. A higher ampere rating more faster it will charge your phone. But I never tried using a charger with higher ampere rating like the charger that comes with Samsung Galaxy S4, it has a 2.0A

You either have faulty battery, so it charge fast because lower capacity.

Or you have 2.x A charger and have done some modification to your phone.

Seem to have a problem with losing HDSPA when I'm at my Archery club. Have to reboot the phone to get it back.

Battery life is its usual terrible self. The first full charge only went to 90%for some weird reason. Can't get any better than about 1 hour 30 minutes screen time. Did have a day where it ran down from full charge to 20% with only 15 minutes usage which sadly occasionally happened in earlier versions of Android.

Other than that no complaints on 4.4.3.

I still have the Bluetooth bug that was present since 4.4.2 or before. When in a Bluetooth call in my car, about every 30-45 seconds or so, the call will disconnect from the car as if it hung up, and pick back up after about two seconds. Over and over. No problems using a Bluetooth earbud. Another person I recommended the N4 to has exactly the same problem.

It seemed like battery life was much worse immediately after the update, but has gotten better since. I've only had the ota update for a few days. It doesn't seem like a hell of a lot changed. The dialer.

4.4.3 distorted sound??

Now I might be just gangster trippin here but since the upgrade to 4.4.3 my speaker distorts when playing music (Play Music) and even distorts on ringtones and notifications. This obviously mainly happens when turned near maximum volume but I swear my Nexus 4 speaker could previously cope.
