Just curious what issues people are encountering with the 4.4 update

Sorry if there's already an official forum

Thanks!

Flash no longer works on 3rd party browsers. That's it for me, everything else is fine. (and frankly, I didn't use Flash very much at all, so I'm not upset about it.)

Ya I never used flash much either the biggest issue I'm having is that widgets can take a very long time to load and sometimes the app drawer crashes

Have you done a factory reset? I had to do that to get the GPS working properly.

My GPS sometimes work I have not done a factory reset does it help?

Wakelock Detector will no longer work. Developers are aware and hope to resolve the issues.

My bluetooth audio volume is maxed out at slightest touch of volume control. I use a Sony SBH20 bluetooth receiver with my in ear monitors and the volume control on my nexus 7 now maxes out instantly, no control at all. If I adjust volume on the Sony receiver I can get some control but any accidental volume change on the nexus or the app sends the volume straight to max. I read somewhere on here I thought about some folks having the issue but my search turned up nothing.
Anybody else having this issue? Is there a fix??

I had this issue today. It was either loud or extra loud. No control at all.

So far, only two things are annoying me about Kit Kat:

(1) The absence of the upload and download arrows on the WiFi symbol in the status bar.

(2) The absence of the blinking/steady GPS notification to indicate searching/locked-in GPS.

Things I'm liking:

(1) White color of status bar icons.

(2) No more sticky keys.

(3) Transparent soft keys and status bar in home screen.

(4) Everything seems snappier.

Not sure if this is Kitkat related.

Chrome, when scrolling and then stopping to tap a link 90‰ of the time before I can tap it scrolls again without me touching it maybe 1 or 2 lines and then when I tap I end up tapping the wrong thing. It's really hurting my enjoyment of browsing a lot.

 

[thatguy97]

I think that's a capacitive screen issue or something

Only happens with chrome. It's like it renders again after I stop scrolling. But shifts everything up.

 

[thatguy97]

Here's an idea go to developer options if u don't have just tap the build number and force GPU rendering maybe this will work

Hope this works!

no transparent soft keys or status bar on my N7 with 4.4.
you sure you're not confusing that with the GEL on N5 ?

 

[physioprof]

They're transparent using Nova beta launcher.
