List your problems faced after kitkat update

[1210saad]

Ok seriously I'm getting sick of it. Every day my nexus 4 crashes for no reason. I So I deleted all my apps and widgets and still happened. Last week I factory reset my phone and guess what just over 2 minutes ago my phone crashed again. Its really making me mad. My dad warned me when I was buying my nexus 4 that android has lots of problems compare to iOS.

If anyone can maybe suggest me something it would be appreciated.

You should start a new thread, describe your setup (carrier, version, mods, etc) and maybe be more specific about how it "crashes". We can probably talk you through this.

My guess is a bad app is messing up your phone, delete everything and reinstall then one by one over a couple weeks. Figure out when the crashes start up again and you know which app if buggy.

I did in the nexus 4 section. I have no mods, I'm running pure android KitKat which I received from OTA update. I am with virgin mobile. My phone screen goes blank then I press and hold the power button until it turns off then I let it go after 2 secs my phone turns back on. I even reset my phone. I deleted many of my apps before I reset. I deleted avg, clean master, battery docter and all of my games. I still crashed.

OK, you had three problematic apps right there! You're better off without them.

I would get Wugsfresh toolkit, bring yourself back to stock and update to the latest 4.2.2. And then don't install any crap, just user the phone as is for a few days. Slowly add apps back in, but don't waste your time with apps that promise to improve your system, they just create more problems than they solve. Android is smart enough to run itself.

I'm getting a Google Nexus 2013 for Christmas. Seems to me based on comments here I simply should hold off updating to kitkat till Google addresses.

Hi there, I have flashed a custom rom the Cm11 official rom on xda and as of late i have been experiencing and issue with Playstore Wifi downloads. I originally bought Nova 3 and while on 4.4 I went to download and it said that it would take over 2 hours, I understand that the file is large 1.88GB to be exact. But I have downloaded other games that size and it has never taken over 2 hours. More like 30 minutes. My phone is an Lg Optimus G Pro, and my carrier is AT&T. Does anyone have any solutions or ideas as to what is causing this slow downloading performance. I even switched back to 4.3 to see if the problem persisted, which it did. It took close to 2 minutes to download youtube. And when I use youtube its basically watching a film during its beta stages, its choppy and never fully runs fluidly and all the way through. Also, when I turn my phone off usually the lock screen tends to say that the sim card is not located or not working. or no service. But when its on I can make calls and have a fully running connection.?? any ideas?

My N4 has become more unstable and unreliability since the 4.4.2 update. My data speeds are down and/or erratic on t mobile. Yes ive checked APN. Call quality has gotten pretty bad. lock screen widget/pattern lock overlap and the battery drains faster. These are the very reasons i RMA'd my 1st N4. Everything was great with 4.3.

I can't seem to set an app as default. For example, I try to set Action Launcher as default home screen. But after a little while the menu asking me which home screen to go to pops up again. This was originally occurring on rooted device on stick ROM, so tried factory resetting while going to 4.4.2 from 4.4 by doing a flash all batch in adb, and ayer all that am still having an issue... Suggestions?

 

[Chuck Kovac]

Happening to me now since 4.4 upgrade to my Maxx. WTH???

 

[Benton Trerise]

I found a thread on another site with a solution. If you go to your settings where you can set a default home screen, there may be another app listed that's not a launcher. Get rid of it and that'll solve the problem.

Battery life <1/2 Android OS regularily takes more than 60% of battery usuage. Recharge time is more than double what it was before. Haven't used many apps at all since the update to 4.4.2 because the phone runs out so fast. I used to get over a day between charges, now with 6 hours of it sitting on the table alone, from a full charge its down to 30%. Once I figure out how to fevert I will. The cell company was useless. When I asked how to revert b/c it was them that pussed this update out. "our commitment to our customers concerning the support offered for their handset is limited to the correct functioning of our network services such as Text Messaging, Voice Messaging, Mobile Internet, etc."

Been using kitkat on my Note 3 it does have better performance than before still i hate the added feature like:

1. Album cover on the lock screen

It suck cause I prefer the old jellybean one. It just seem to expand the picture and make the picture very blurry. (>~<)

2. Notification Bar

White is so not my favourite color for the note 3. At least just let us choose the color of it like HTC from green or blue. It seems quite plain since everything's white and dull -,-

3. S View cover

Bought the original S View and after updating, the s view doen't work. Samsung really want to update it to kitkat quick they forget important details and put in the unnecessary features. FTW!! Samsung (/-_-)/

I prefer the jellybean style and not let them change much of jellybean stuff in it. Cause now it feel like it got additional features which isn't exactly necessary. So suck on that Samsung u guys needto change that ASAP

You need to select your images from the Gallery. In the menu slide out do not choose images, choose Gallery

My Galaxy S3 can no longer use mobile data, I have no 4G or 3G and I can't use any app that needs the internet unless I have a wifi connection. I was also forced to choose a texting app where as before I could use whichever one I wanted whenever I wanted. All I can do is make calls and text.

After 4.4.3 update I faced goggle play store closed repeatedly so I uninstalled it and installed apk file of it then also same problem arised.After following all procedures which are all mentioned in official nexus forum finally I factory reseted the phone after that Google play itself not there, so again I installed apk file of Google play store then again same problem currently I managed apps with mobogenie.But any body tell me how to enable Google play store without any problem.

1) After the KK update, my data usage is soaring. I cannot locate the app that is doing it, its like it was done purposely to up my usage.
2) My phone no longer holds a charge like it did. Even two years old, I could go a full 24 hrs before a recharge, sonce the update I am getting about 6 hrs, if I don't use it. It also charges slower than before. Again, I cannot find what is chewing up the battery, it is hidden.
3) The phone no longer stays connected to my router, even when I am sitting next to it. It keeps losing the signal, and has an annoying pop up to let me know this, every 25 seconds or so.
Please post a fix if someone finds one!

My Lenovo Vibe X had good battery life before the upgrade to Kitkat 4.4.2. Now, I barely have 8 - 9 hrs of use. I also experience having low signal on both wifi and phone which wasnt there before. My phone also started to heat up which never happened before when it was still using JB. On the upside, I have more RAM and the phone is much faster.
