[Android General] Dev.Hiro:
Hi guys .. this is my first post ...

11 features of Android 4.4 Kitkat​

First what is Kitkat :​

It is an android version which was released after Jelly bean ........ The latest version of android tooo

Many of them will have seen ...... Jelly bean and Ice cream sandwich .....

But this kitkat is very special and fullly Themed ..... :silly:

Google has confirmed that Android 4.4 KitKat will be the next edition of the world's most popular smartphone operating system.

​

The next version of Android was widely tipped to be known as Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie, but after some deliberation Google opted for a more recognisable name confirmed the change after reaching a deal with Nestle.

Features and release date of Android 4.4 KitKat are yet to be released, but the mobile OS is expected to arrive before the end of the year, mostly likely debuting on the next Nexus branded handset.

I had compiled a list of 12 other improvements we'd like to see in Android 4.4. Do you agree? Are there any features you'd like to see Google introduce? Let us know below.

Features of Kitkat :

12. Improved security

Despite its popularity, security is still a core problem for the Android platform. This is primarily down to the Google Play store being a infiltrated with apps containing malware malware, but isn’t the only cause.

Most recently, Bluebox Security discovered a “Master Key” flaw, which means that 99 per cent of devices vulnerable (900 million) can be hacked. A patch is being rolled out as we speak, it’s another major sign that Google needs to do more to ensure its devices are safer.
​

9. Ability to turn off OEM skins on any device

When Android 4.4 KitKat launches, it is expected to arrive on a brand-new handset carrying Google’s 'Nexus' branding.

Likely to be dubbed the Nexus 5, this smartphone will ship with the vanilla version of Android, and will be developer friendly. OEMs such as HTC, LG and Samsung will place their custom skins over the top of Android KitKat when it is released on their handsets to differentiate them.

It would be good if Google built-in a master switch into Android, giving users the choice to switch off these OEM skins without having to root devices.

The chances of this happening though are virtually zero. OEMs such as HTC and Samsung add features which will only work with their respective skins active, and they are not going to want to let users disable them. Google is unlikely to pull rank on its partners too – as it feels that one of the strengths of the operating system is its customisation

7. Find my Droid

You'd expect a simple feature like this to be included in a comprehensive system such as Android, but it has yet to materialise.

With the firm’s extensive mapping service, and GPS included into handset, it shouldn’t be too much of a stretch for Google to build this functionality into the heart of the OS.

​

5. Offline maps and better control over location settings

Nokia has been leading the way in this field by allowing users to download comprehensive guidance and then use it for free offline. Google already offers comprehensive guidance through its Maps and Navigation apps, but it does crunch through battery when in use.

Privacy hasn't been a strong point for Google, with the firm receiving numerous fines about collecting data from individuals. A way in which Google could try and rebuild its privacy image would be to let users choose whether they want to share their location.

iOS already allows users to turn off location services on individual apps if they choose to. This feature would be welcome on Android so you don’t have all your apps sending off data. Of course it would help to save battery life too.

​

3. Enhanced multitasking

Android has been at the forefront of mobile computing when it comes to features such as multitasking. Users are able to run multiple apps at the same time and flick between them.

With the forthcoming Galaxy S4, Samsung will allow users to snap two apps onto the screen of the 5in device, so they can be used at the same time. It’ll be possible to watch videos when replying to emails, or surf the internet and make notes.

It would be great to see Google take the initiative and make a multitasking feature like this standard across all high-end handsets.
