Thread For NEW things noticed About Kit Kat Changes.

Adobe Flash Player is NOT compatible.

Just realized when you plug in apple headphones (or any headphones with controls) and hold down the middle button, it enables speech services. Thought it was cool and didn't work in 4.3...I think, let me know if I'm wrong. There is still a few things that need twerks for example when you say "play songs by 'band name'" you still have to touch your phone to pick a song but over all it works good

As noted in other threads, one significant downside to 4.4 is the loss of free tethering, especially with Tmobile. There is a workaround if your N4 is rooted.

Also, due to the Flash issue, some browsers (Angel, Dolphin, Boat, etc) are not working 100% correctly. Chrome browser appears to be OK.

I don't know about you but I have had no problems tethering with my nexus 4 with 4.4 I do it all the time with my nexus 7 and it works a treat

It depends on your provider and plan, but many (myself included) have lost free tethering upon upgrading to 4.4.

I miss the old Android emoticons/emoji on the stock keyboard (the kind of smooshed green Android head). The new keyboard has replaced them with generic emoticons, and I'm not a fan of the new yellow emoji Androids. They look like gumdrops to me.

There is a workaround for Dolphin which you can find in a couple threads about Flash which are still visible on the first page of this forum.
