Ah, but what about those devices locked to O2?

They've started rolling it out today. Of course "starting" it could mean anything, so yeah, it could be easter before we actually get it.

I don't understand how anyone is locked to O2.
O2 give free unlock codes to bill pay customers. Just request it from their website.

He means its O2 branded.

No update yet on 3. But since I'm leaving them after a week it won't matter

TheMilkyPirate

Updated to 4.4 earlier today and now the phone won't connect to wifi. Anyone know what's up?

Yep, i mean it's O2 branded

scudzilla

On Meteor, just downloaded KitKat, can't really see much change at the moment

Mr Velo

Ok, so this may be daft, but i presume you just go to Settings, About, Software Updates and check?

Nothing showing up for mine there at this point.

Can't see any difference so far, with the exception of Battery stats no longer working, and that my phone doesn't drop from 11% to 4% and then die within 2 minutes!

Edit: A few apps aren't working anymore!

What Apps??

And i think this update may be similar to 4.3, a lot of 'Under the Hood' work

mobby

Cant see much difference to be honest, also had a few small issues with apps, my wordament game had to be uninstalled and reinstalled, and and issue with a blue-tooth speaker I use, but again unpaired and repaired sorted that out. no other issues good or bad yet.

wonski

Just started downloading it now. Went through the notes and it says that the browser Flash support will be removed

darragh o meara

I have a 02 Htc one that I have unlocked and using on Vodafone. Would I have to put an o2 simcard back in it to get the update?

Yes on the HTC stock browser but I think you can still use a browser like Dolphin if you really need Flash support?

Thomasofmel

Vodafone Ireland branded HTC One - Kitkat downloaded yesterday, cannot see much of a difference so far.

Zascar

Downloading now on 02.

So what are the main differences??

wandatowell

Got it yesterday, no real difference at all it seems. The battery icon is now grey. It was previously green.


Meh.

Grey / white battery icon

chavezychavez

Message text now shows up on the lock screen.

It changed my message tone as well while it was at it. Woke up to it this morning, hadn't a clue what it was for a while.

Useful.Idiot

apparently it's meant to have faster performance, smarter "location" settings, vastly improved security, improved battery consumption, faster multitasking and better google hangouts integration amongst many others.

Zascar

A few of my app icons have reverted to a grey box with "APP" written on it. Weird

I seen that before when an app wasn't fully compatible with the latest version of android

Definitely feels a bit snappier anyway

Ah, well it's the "Phone" app so that's a bit concerneing lol

scudzilla

Left work this morning at 7am, battery was on 90%, got him at 07:45 and went to bed at 8, phone was 78%, woke up at 15:30 and it was 18%!!!!

I'd not used it, what's going on there then, looking at usage it says Google Services used 78% of drain

randel

same for me. Updated phone this morning. Usually at this time of the day id have 65% battery. Now its 29%.

The_B_Man

Thats why I installed GSam Battery Monitor. It can detect which app is using all your battery.
It identified one for me and I uninstalled it, and my battery has been grand since.

Mine was weird though. It'd only happen about once a month and it'd be sluggish for about a day, whatever was hogging it. Hasnt happened since i removed that app though.

Downloaded that battery app, App usage was 90% of usage with Kernel (Android OS) coming out top with 89.8%!!!

scudzilla

This is not good, battery on 52%, just plugged it in and its saying will take 5hrs 00mins to get fully charged. Before this update it used to take 3 1/2 to 4hrs to charge fully from zero

Since the kitkat update my calendar is not syncing with exchange. Email is syncing fine. Anyone know what to do?
I already deleted cache and data from calendar app but didn't work.

scudzilla

Think i've found the issue, done a lot of searching last night and most big sites recommend a factory data reset after a big update, i did that at 22:00 last night.

Went to bed at around 23:00 and handset was on 68%, got up at 6.30 and was on 64% so a LOT better.

I know it's a pain in the hole but i guess it makes sense after such a large update

Is there any way to back up apps before a factory reset?

Mine were all saved in the play store, just had to go in there, select My Apps and re download, really showed me how much crap i've downloaded over the years!!

My phone is now on 52% and have just plugged it in, says will take 1hr 10mins to fully charge, compared with the 5hrs it was giving me before i Factory reset after the update

Royale with Cheese

Unplugged the phone at about 8am this morning. Looked at the battery now and it's at 52%, it'd usually be around 80. I've barely used it today too.

The_B_Man

Any time I get unexplained drains, the phone feels sluggish too.
Does yours feel sluggish?

Try rebooting it a few times.

Mr Velo

My battery life seems much improved.
Upgraded it to KitKat yesterday afternoon.
Took it off charge just after 3pm yesterday - 100%.

Had a number of short calls, general browsing and fiddling with the phone during the evening/night. Went to bed just after midnight.

At 11am this morning i plugged it back in to power outlet - it was at 41%.

That's with push email turned on for 2 accounts - exchange, and Gmail Priority Inbox, and Bluetooth On for car kit.

That's pretty decent battery life IMO.

Can someone point me in the direction of a website/blog which would fill the gaping gaps in my knowledge about these updates? It's great to read the reaction to the updates here but I know little about them.

If you mean what the update actually does then http://www.android.com/versions/kit-kat-4-4/
