Just got an update from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 for my unlocked Moto G in the UK, running on an EE sim card.
Download and install was fine with no problems, it seemed to take longer than the update from Jelly Bean to Kit Kat which concerned me while it was doing the install but everything is fine.
I was a bit annoyed that they had updated the gallery, I purposely didn't install the new gallery from the Play store because I prefered the original one, I suppose I'll get used to it. The new contacts page is ok, although I'm not convinced the multi colours fit in with the rest of the android design look, again I'll probably get used to it.
A couple of things I did notice is how much faster the phone is, apps are opening a lot faster than before. Some apps like my Yahoo mail app has always been slow to open, but now it's instant. Chrome has speeded up considerably, my phone isn't full of lots ofapps, I try and keep it down to those I really use, but yeah a definite and obvious speed increase in general use.
One thing I noticed, which may well be connected with the speed increase, is that my phone is heating up more than before...a few minutes on instagram and I can feel the heat which didn't happen to that extent before the update. I checked in developer settings to se if the update had increased any animation/transition scales but they're the same as before.
Anyway, those are my initial thoughts.
I'm glad Motorola are still providing updates for the Moto G, hopefully we'll get "L" whenever that comes out.
Harv.!
