A couple of issues with 4.4

[Ron Khan]

Hey everyone, I recently got the ota update from ATT yesterday. So far everything seems ok. However after the update my screen transitions are not as fluid as they were before. Now it seems slightly jittery and lags at times. Also, it seems that the touch screen sensitivity is Is not as sensitive as before. Anyone else having similar issues? Hopefully the issues go away with some more use.

Yes it feels more laggy sometimes especially when going from the lock screen

Try resetting phone as mine has less lag than before if that's even possible

Definitely better after a reboot or two for me. Developer Edition.

By resetting and rebooting do you all mean just power cycling it. Sorry for my ignorance....

Yes just a power cycle.

I'll try. I know its not a big issue, but it seriously takes away from the fantastic user experience the phone used to have.

If all else fails, try wiping cache partition and do a factory reset.

I don't think it bothers me so much because on my N4 and S3 from the past I always put ROMs on them. After a while you get good at setting up your phone fast. I don't install a bunch of apps though so that makes the restore process pretty painless.

I'm going to give a few more days to see if things settle down and act normal. This factory reset stuff makes me wonder if I should have held off on the upgrade until the bugs got worked out. Damn phone was near perfect before all this crap.

Ron,

I really feel it has to do with built in kit kat launcher...I see the lag you do, but when I fire up my Nova Launcher Prime, the lag is gone....so I feel its the built in launcher causing it.

I think you may be right, unfortunately. I have the day off today, so I'll have some time to play around with the phone. I'll definitely look into Nova Launcher. At the moment 4.4 seem like a downgrade to me, in some areas. Its too bad that some people have to do " this and that" after update to get things going again...

Yea I agree with all the issues going on it sounds like a downgrade. Because right now on 4.2.2 it has no issues but I'm hearing all these issues with KitKat and I might not update to 4.4 when Sprint gets it until the issues are fixed. Because one of the main things I heard is the Lock screen lag or delay and I don't like that.

ATT here. I have not experienced any issues with the features I use. So far it is a good upgrade for me.

I just installed Nova Launcher Prime, recommended by Bandityo, thanks man, good call! It took care of all the lag and choppy transitions. Nova is very cool, takes away a lot of weirdness from the 4.4 update. Again, its too bad for a lot of people who don't know much about their phones and received the update and are left wondering....what the hell happened.

Yeah, that was me. You're participating over at Motorola I take it? The more the better in that thread.

I've noticed when taking pictures with my camera, the photos are flipped. Is there a way to remedy this or is it permanent? I don't think this happened before 4.4
Thanks!
