Has anyone gotten the OTA kitkat update?

Not sure if this is a legit comment or just sarcasm.

Kind of hoping its legit because i'd rather them get the bugs out THEN release it. I just wish they would release a statement telling us that it's been delayed.

I always get the 2 confused; thank you for the clarification.

Not to be a stickler but nuclear fission has been conquered, it's fusion that's the tricky one...power in > power out at the moment....if you can get power in < power out with fusion, you're in line for a Nobel prize.

Where does that leave those of us that side loaded? Mine doesn't have any obvious problems.

I gave up and side loaded. Love 4.4. Everything seems to run smoother.

I did too and then went here to getthe Nexus 5 GEL launcher. I really like it for my tablet. Note. It works on any 4.1 and higher device but I took it off my Droid Mini. Since it is not the stock launcher it will not utilize any of the Moto widgets.

I bet yours has the same security issue that mine does.
Try this...
1. Wake your tablet but do not unlock
2. Slide the screen to the right as if you were going to add a home screen widget
3. Notice the home button appear on the bottom
4. Press it and you'll bypass the lock screen.

I bet this is why they are delaying the OTA!

When do you guys think they will start the roll out again?
And when they do start it again, will it be another staged roll out from the beginning? (meaning another week)

Man, when the Verizon Moto X gets 4.4 before every Nexus device (aside from the Nexus 5 which launched with it of course), you KNOW hell has frozen over.

Any idea what those of us who side loaded do? Are we going to get a new OTA or are we going to have to side load the next version?

As an aside..........after how badly Google screwed the pooch on the original Nexus 7 launch, none of this should surprise me.

If they truly have stopped the OTA, why haven't they pulled the image to prevent sideloading? It seems to me that you either stop both (i.e. stop OTA and stop sideload downloads) if you have a major bug(s) to fix or you allow both if you don't.

I have tried numerous ways of swiping and mine still requires a PIN. Maybe that is the difference?

I'm getting the 4.4 bug fix update right now in NYC. I sideloaded 4.4 last week but I just got an update notification on my Nexus 7 2012 running 4.4.

 

[jabwtv]

still no update for me

You are correct. It only does that with no lock screen security. My bad....
