Android 4.4 bugs on Nexus 7

[hichris123]

Update last night. WiFi indicator went gray and stayed that way. Running OK otherwise.

Grey is the new blue in KitKat.

My 2012 N7 updated to 4.4 KRT16S last night (UK). The camera stopped, I uninstalled the app and installed another, now working fine.

My N4 updated a few days ago, no issues yet.

Updated to 4.4 yesterday.

Boot-up now takes 2-3 minutes. Power-down same.
Most apps take 1-2 minutes to load.
Many apps hang randomly.
When exiting from an app, I get a blank home screen. The app icons appear after about 20 seconds.
Widgets don't work properly (e.g. the Fancy Widgets clock has almost completely disappeared).
Everything is extremely slow. It's unresponsive and sluggish.

Not a happy bunny today

I also received the update last night. I can't use Play Newsstand. It keeps crashing so I am unable to read my magazines Anyone know of any apps which can sync with my newsstand so I can read them?

I updated my nexus 7 last night but it froze 1/3 of the way through. I waited 2 hours and still nothing. i reset with pressing power and both volume buttons. It shut off and now I cant get it to boot again. What Can I Do?

Got the OTA last night and immediately saw performance issues. Ran smooth on 4.3 but was now extraordinarily sluggish on 4.4.

Since I now use my S4 and Chromebook the majority of the time, I had little to lose on the N7 so I factory reset it.

Anytime a new version is installed you'll need to give it a couple of days to rebuild the cache. After that it will run smooth again.

That's not minor! Does Wi-Fi run?

YouTube is back to being unwatchable because of buffering every 3 seconds.

Yes WiFi runs. Everything is running smooth. A reply to my post states Grey is the new blue.

My nexus 4 received the ota however my nexus 10 has not.
Does Google still roll out updates on Sundays?

On KitKat, there's no more blue in the Notification Bar. Everything is white. If you swipe down the Quick Settings shade, you can see the status of the wifi connection there--orange means wifi on but no connection, and white means connected.

Srsly why isn't Google releasing a fix for the ridiculous audio bug? (When connected to a Bluetooth device)

got the OTA last night and then installed GEL and Search. Home screen is messed up, apps are hanging and lag badly once open. Search is overlapping apps and remove button. Cant remove home screens and video buffers every 3 seconds. I did a factory reset this morning. Will the reset cause my N7 to reboot to 4.3 and then i can ignore the 4.4 OTA notification until google figures this out?

Since - and only since - my nexus 7 was updated I can no longer access my home wi-fi network. It appears to connect with good strenght as before but the connection bars remain grey and a lock is also grey. As I do not recollect ever having to insert a password since startup this seems odd. What is the solution? My router is fine and connected to my laptop over wifi - no problems.

I've had my Nexus 7 for almost a year now with not a problem until I downloaded KitKat and now I experience ghost touches and screen freezing. It will momentarily unfreeze if I press the power button. I did a factory reset and problem still persists. It's so bad that I can't use the tablet anymore. Anyone else have this problem? What do I need to do to fix it?

Received the kitkat update a few days ago on my 2012 nexus. Things went awry (got stuck in bootloop) so had to do a factory reset. Apart from losing all my precious data, the tablet is no longer recognized by my trusted old PC when I plug in the usb cable, even though usb debugging is on. Any thoughts?

it kills flash player. i did not know this and updated and now have to figure out how to go back to 4.3 i guess

Kit Kat no longer shows blue and white connections. Only white.
