reboot and clear cache in settings-storage-cache. this worked ok for my tablet on nougat.

Fully agree, CM seems pretty efficient at cleaning cache n lots of crap but should leave RAM management to Android. CM can also detect apps that are running wild and cause device to heat up. It will prompt you to close it. Also has boost charge function to speed up charging

Re: lollipop not the same on nexus 4 as on nexus 5 You will get the white background if you switch to Google Now launcher. The original launcher has black background

Thanks a million!

Android L should give it a new lease of life, probably can hang on to it for another year. It's stable & smooth on KitKat 4.4.4 and no urgency to replace it. Next device could be the Xiaomi Mi4 which is coming soon with Android L unless a better/cheaper flagship is available.

Had the same intermittent problem on 4.4.2 and 4.4.3. Fixed by uninstalling & re-installing Google Now Launcher. Nothing was lost, all widgets & icons appears when you re-install. My Nexus 4 has not encountered the problem for more than a month. Now on 4.4.4 and it feels like a new phone.

Google launching Android one for budget phones with direct os updates stock android. Why shouldn't nexus 4 get 5.0. If not then replace our nexus 4 with them. Google announces Android One to revolutionize low-end smartphones - TOI Mobile | The Times of India Mobile Site

One week after 4.4.3, battery life has improved and has never been better inspite of having apps like K-9 noted for high battery use. The first week was bad battery drain probably due to background updates of gapps. My nexus 4 is smooth and responsive, never better since 4.1. I think it's even...

My windows laptop starts slowing down and hangs if not shutdowned for a few days, same goes for the iphone5 with battery drain and connection problems after 1-2 weeks. Even an as/400 midrange computer requires an IPL (reboot) after a week or 2. My old blackberry bold also need rebooting after a...

Experienced twice over weekends when the bbm service could not restart and the notification icon disappeared, messages not received until manually restarted. It lasted the entire weekends on nexus4 running kitkat 4.4 while the Samsung S2 running 4.1 was fine. suspect it was a server/kitkat...

Apparently it's received but status not updated and shows a tick. Encountered this quite often especially sent from android to iOS.

Had the same issue with 4.4 on my nexus4. Updated to 4.4.2 with same problem. What worked for me was unchecking device manager. Goto setting, security, device administrator. Battery drain has improved tremendously. May be due to the OS update defaulting to configuration.

This resolved the battery drain for me. After 4.4 my nexus 4 battery consumption almost tripled. 4.4.2 didn't help either. Goto settings, security, device administrator. Uncheck device manager. Apparently the updates defaulted this configuration. After only 3 hours I could observe battery going...

1. The Android persistent icon can disappear which I experienced twice over weekends and messages were not received, it goes missing when the device sleeps. Requires manual restart before the incoming messages are received. Then it becomes very stable from Sunday evenings and works like a charm...

How did you manage to get BetterBattery Stats to work on 4.4 ? Mine stopped working after the update/
