My Nexus 4 just upgraded itself to KitKat (v 4.4)

Post #383,851 by Another Scott 11/26/13 7:18:42 PM Reply	My Nexus 4 just upgraded itself to KitKat (v 4.4) So far, it seems like nothing was broken in the process. I was a bit worried after some of the comments here - http://www.androidpo...-settings-issues/ It's not rooted or running anything special (just a few apps from the Play store). Fingers crossed... Cheers, Scott.

But if I get anxious enough I'm told I can go get the Google updated stuff for it. -- greg@gregfolkert.net "No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible." --Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

It just up-and-quit about 4 times, especially on the way back. Power off and back on seemed to be required to get it working again. I don't have many data points before the KitKat upgrade, but I had never seen that before. I'm not worried that it's unfixable, but it is a bit disconcerting. :-/ Caution might be in order if you haven't upgraded to KitKat yet. YMMV, of course. Cheers, Scott.

I've sideloaded the Google Experience launcher onto my N7; mainly to get rid of the YUO MUST HAVE 5 HOMESCREENS worse-than-Hitler thing of the stock 4.4 launcher. Now I have Google Now from two directions, but at least I don't have five home screens, four of which are empty.

I've got no interest in a Winders phone. ;-) But playing with their map with the browser when I have a data connection on a trip might make some sense. http://here.com/download#html5 Thanks. :-) Cheers, Scott.
