Hello ,i installed the OTA 4.4 update on my stock unrooted nexus 2012 wifi and i see some little artifacts if i rotate the screen multiple times , i flashed the google factory image 4.4 for a fresh start but the same happens, it's a bug from google i guess, i'm thinking reverting to 4.3 , anyone experience these artifacts with the official update?
Hello, I also updated my nexus 7 from android 4.3
Stock ROM to Android 4.4 stock ROM, rooted.
So far it is working fine and no WiFi disconnecting
Issue. At first, KitKat ROM seem to run slower compare to android 4.3. Did a wipe of cache/dalvich
and factory reset in TWRP, KitKat ROM is running
Smooth and snappier. Enjoying KitKat stock ROM.

thanks for reply, i guess kit kat is a good under the hood update and i want the latest ver on tablet but did you get any little tiny artifacts on the side of the screen (which disappears after rotation) if you rotate the display multiple times (portrait-landscape four - five times)?
ok i flashed 4.3 and the artifacts disappeared so kit kat is buggy on 2012 model or an update from google store (on google apps) after the flash of 4.4 brakes something

what do you mean artifacts? Ive noticed from time to time whats looks like little dead pixels but really only when rotating or on the lockscreen.
Was wondering what happened here.
yes i mean these dead pixels, i wanted to know that it wasn't only on my device , it's minor but it didn't happen with 4.3

I'm having the same problem after 4.4, my friend. I get little artifacts while changing screen orientation in the app drawer. The background is black, so it's really noticable. And yeah, 4.3 was fine. Did you report the problems to Google? I tried to, but to be honest, I don't know where to send the email.
yeah this is something that has annoyed the heck out of me since 4.4
It started happening right away.
Perhaps we can get more people to get in on this and get a fix from google.
And I am not rooted in any way so its a stock issue.
heres a google discussion i started for it.

If Google doesn't fix this, let's hope that the CyanogenMod Developers will. I didn't plan on rooting my tablet, but they are forcing me to.

I am getting the exact same effect when rotating the display. I began noticing it since the 4.4 OTA update. I hoped that 4.4.2 will solve this but it did not. It's not bugging me as much as it did the first few times but it gives me the impression of unfinished job.

Could some of you contact Google because they just told me Im SOL and I have to deal with the factory warranty now which is expired.

Hello Tyler,
Thank you for contacting Google.
I understand that your device has began these issues after your update to 4.4 KitKat. However, if the factory data reset does not resolve the issue, we have to refer you to the retailer from which you purchased your device to inquire about warranty options. We provide warranty replacement devices for purchases made through Google Play when the factory data reset does not fix the current issue. You are also welcome to contact the manufacturer which is Asus. Their toll free number is 1-888-678-3688.
The only other option I can recommend, is to wait for the next update to the software to come out that fixes these bugs.
If you have any other questions about your next step, please reply directly to this email or call our toll free number 1-855-83-NEXUS. One of our agents will be happy to assist you.
Again, thank you for contacting Google today. Have a fantastic weekend.
Well its well over a year and my warranty is well over. Im about to dump 4.3 back on just to PROVE to them its their software causing the bug.
My guess is most people are on CM or another ROM which doesnt get affected by this bug but those of us still using OTA rooted android should probably all be dealing with it to some degree.
Not very pleasant indeed. Well, I'll be waiting for some newer updates (just because it doesn't bother me that much now, I got used to it). I'm not that anxious to make a factory data reset. If nothing happens I will be transition to Cgen of which I've heard and read many good things especially the new installer.

KitKat is all fine and dandy but without, I am sure, additional sources released by Sony (Ericsson) we will probably never get a JB kernel working and still retain full Xperia PLAY compatibility... then again I may be completely wrong and if I am someone correct me. I have stayed pretty much on GB for gaming. Either way, thanks for sharing... although I think this should go to the General forum.... anyways... thread on.
google says that they made the OS smaller and after so old devices that didn't get in the past update can now get update because they resolve many issues.

Well maybe 4.4 is for older phones but as you know the companies support they devices for a short period of time. So no KitKat for us...

True but they also stated those will need to be updated by either the carrier or the manufacturer of the device(s). As $ony long ago gave up on the PLAY, I think its incredibly unlikely we will see any support form Sony and or even source releases.
Still, it would be awesome if we can get it up and running, but dont forget the highest kernel we can sort of get working, is kernel 3.4.
Kitkat would be an even higher kernel number.
Google isn't even releasing KitKat for the Galaxy Nexus. Sony isn't going to do it either, and it would need hardware drivers from Qualcomm side too.
Why is this thread in the dev section?
is that true?

I think if the 3.4 Kernel is working it wont be difficult to get kitkat running. But as far there is no touch in 3.4

They abandoned it,yes.As far as i know,there are no new models build and everything that is floating around in shops are the last produced batches,not getting the update to Android 4 kinda sealed this assumption
I don't know if the X Play will ever get KitKat but Google introduced a new runtime called ART to replace Dalvik with KitKat, on my Nexus 4 it really improve the performance to a substantial amount, so maybe that will help as well.

Would be great if Sony would pay more attention to their old phones, specially because they cancelled the ics update so sudden.
But i don´t think this will happen.
And that's one reason I won't buy Sony again.
we will get 4.4, not official but we will get it.
once i got a play i will work on it, otherwise we will have an other dev.

so? is there anyone working on kitkat roms for xPlay? or its abandoned at all?
By the looks of it, KitKat is out of reach for our device, theres barely any 4.1 or 4.2 jellybean roms functioning, what makes you think we will get 4.4 any time soon? Our Play is best optimised for GB due to performance issues as ICS+ isn't 100% functional on our play. Don't believe me? try any ics rom out and sooner or later you will find out that games will lag and memory will tend to be low. Sorry but this is the bottom line for our xperia play.
Legacyxperia (mostly mike) is working to get gully working 3.4 kernel. Than we wpuld be able to boot kitkat.

It is indeed possible, and I am saying this because I have NEO L(same as xplay) and I ran kitkat on my phone, thanks to @Mike's hard work. He reached at a point now where touch is working, he just need to have Wifi,Camera and some other things work and it will be there

Hello guys,
I recently bought a S4 and overall I'm really happy with it. The thing is that I have this strange bug in the play store since I first opened it. If I go to any section e.g. the games section and swipe down the list some app icons aren't loading. The place were the picture is supposed to be just stays blank. Actually it's even happening in the frontpage when i swipe down. I checked my wifi but it's also happening with mobile connection.
I also cleared the cache and data but nothing worked until I deinstalled the store updates. That downgraded the play store to version 4.3.11 and surprisingly the bug was gone So is this a common thing in the 4.5.10 version or does my S4 suffer from a strange bug?

Do you have an ad blocker running or a modified hosts file? These can cause this issue with play store
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium HD app
No ad blocker is running and I didn't modify anything but like I said, strangely enough the bug is gone with the 4.3.11 version. As soon the play store updates itself to the 4.5.10 version, it's there again. Could this be a hardware bug?
Can no one help? Seems like I'm the only one with this problem. Should I return my S4?

I described this problem in another forum and apparently this is not only happening with the S4. Someone with a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 has also this bug or like you with the S4 mini.

I'm glad I stumbled onto this post! I'm using a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919 and I'm having the exact same problem since the Play Store updated itself to version 4.5.10. I cleared the apps cache and data and the problem always returns. Have you guys found any solution yet? If so please let others know! I tested things on my Nexus 7 tablet and my tablet does not have this problem so it's definitely a minor bug with the latest update running on certain Samsung ROMs. I posted here asking others about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2628266

Having the same issue on a Moto X. The problem only occurs over cellular connection (Verizon LTE); wifi is fine.
So I got this strange update notification from the play store. I think since no one was accepting the security updates a while back they decided to sneak it into the play store. Are any of guys seeing this as well?

Yup, got this one as well. Definitely going to try my best not to fall for this one too. I'm assuming this is all related to KNOX which I never have wanted, do not want currently, and never will want in the future.
It honestly looks like they are trying to possibly patch something. Maybe a possible root exploit? Lol
Agreed, I seen similar posts mentioned in the Q & A section here and about people with Dev phones going ahead and taking the updates.
Personally, I will not accept any update regarding security, ect... period due to the comments listed. I don't trust Samsung or Verizon as they are obviously determined to block any attempt at achieving "root" on this device if that even becomes a reality.

At least they sort of explained what it was finally. It does look like a way to update blocks to root exploits.

Yeah, I got it to. I took it will no ill effect. The security updates that come through the Play Store will not effect an unlocked bootloader in the case of the Developer Edition Note 4s and will not cause a rooted phone to loose root. The Play Store update is only an update to the security app that comes stock on all Note 4s.

I don't have that one in the play store, though it comes up at least once a day through the phone.
So.. Anyone can confirm what this update do?
Questioned Samsung on Twitter and FB
When I questioned Samsung on this, I received two responses. The first that it was a third party app they don't support. The second was that they were looking into it. It has since disappeared from my list of updates.
I believe this is the service that gets updated. I have not been able to find it in the okay store either. Saw it once when it auto updated on me, not since.
I'm pretty sure it's the app itself that's getting the update. What would be considered sneaky is if they update the app and changed the policy so they can force a security update without you agreeing to it.
Wondering what everyone is doing about this bug since the latest 6.0 update? Wait for a fix or are you reverting back to an earlier OS? I know google is aware of the problem but who knows when they will get at this.

Too bad there is no way to stop the auto-update to 6.0/6.0.1 unless you are rooted and mod some settings. I don't have any desire to root my NP players. So, the only thing I can do so far is wait.

Given the spread of the problem (affects NP, Nexus 5X and 6P), it tells me that those work at Google didn't do their job. Hence I lost my trust on them about the future on the Android TV if they can't get the basics right.

The fix is finally in. Just flashed the newest factory image and tested it out on Youtube and Google Play Movies. Better late than never I guess.

The same issue
I have just the same problem . To be honest, I was "5 minutes away" to go the store as my HTC 10 Evo/Bolt is 5 days old only. But if that not "my unique case" then the update may be the reason.
Did you post any info directly to the HTC?
Please stay in touch as I'll do.
Black Screen
I started experiencing the same issue in December, in addition eventually the issue progresses to screen artifacting and flickering. I am on my second phone and about to send that one in for a replacement due to re-occurrence of the issue.
HTC has about a four week turn around time, so beware. If you have really bad issues ask to speak to the escalations supervisor.
Many people are experiencing this issue. Some have gone through 3-4 replacements already with each new one having the same issue. My BOLT only experiences this when I pull it out of my pocket and unlock. Can be fixed temporarily by giving the right hand side of screen a firm tap. Anybody have any ideas on a fix?
I'm on my 3rd phone due to that issue. You just have to exchange it. No way to fix it.
Mine just started jumping around only on the right side has not blacked out yet

my Bolt is not currently active, so I haven't been using much, but I do recall the screen jumping around once when I pulled it out to check something...just checked it again and it's fine...weird
I wonder if anyone has a perfectly working (for months) and not overheating bolt. I've gone through 3. Should be recalled.

I have had my bolt since the Black Friday sale and I have had zero issues and I hope it never does.

Im curious if you have taken all the OTA updates? My Bolt was fine for about 3 months before i had severy lag issues but not the screen problem. I took it back yesterday and got a new one. My new one is on an old software version 1.15.651.11 and there have been 3 updates since this version. I have not updated yet.
Thanks,
Yes, def it was after the Android OTA updates. Curious if anyone experience the problem with updating.
Just got bolt #3 let's hope this one stays good

I have taken all updates and so far have had no complaints the only time I've had it get warm was when I was charging and playing Pokemon go. No unusual lagging or screen problems so far I am also unlocked and s off I have flashed bb rom and am currently stock right now between the two I have had I good experience so far I hope htc gets the kinks out because this phone even though has an older processor is a good device.
I took .6 so far so good haven't noticed excessive heat

I too like the phone except for the kinks. I have taken OTA for .15 anc .22 without any issues. Then after about another day it is telling me to update to the new 1.32.651.6. everything is good but i guess i will take the update and hope for the best.
Recently I've been having trouble with the screen staying black with key pad lit on wake on gesture or power button. That may have been caused by my case... But more concerning is the screen flickering. It seems to come about more as the day goes on. When it starts to happen I tried rebooting, and it does it during boot too. I wonder about the longevity of this phone
