I received it today morning. May be we getting closer for KitKat

It's not the first apk update we're getting where 4.4/kitkat is mentioned in the changelog.
About 4 weeks ago there was another album update with exactly the same changelog, so let's wait until the D6503 has been presented
sent from the 1

Well, I think we will get 4.4 in six month (here in Germany) ;(

12 months for UK

Will Kit Kat enable 20 mp in 16.9 for the camera?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't think that is possible due to the limitation of the sensor, when cropping to 16:9 the 20.7MP area, it wouldn't be 20.7MP anymore.
the 4:3 is 5248x3936
16:9 at 20.7MP would be 6060x3409 or around there, while the height would fit, the length of would not, missing around 700ish pixels on the length to make it 20.7MP 16:9. Would need at least a 27.6MP or so 4:3 sensor to get 20.7MP 16:9.
Perhaps kit kat will enable 20.7MP 4:3 in superior mode for the rest of the world.

That would be nice if they could do that and I understand what you are saying in regards to the pixels needed for full 20mp 16.9.
I hope KitKat won't drain the battery as I am finding it excellent with 4.3 and just coming upto 4 days and 18% remaining that's with over 8 hrs talk and taking a few pics and so on.

14.1.G.1.534 vs 14.1.G.2.257 Camera Comparison

These pictures were taken with both firmwares about 8 minutes apart (updated in the park) on the same phone and in roughly the same light. I would have been faster but there was a Dutch family taking pictures and I didn't want to have them in the picture.

Perfect! I was wondering if the improvement only applied to Superior Auto mode, Burst, Panorama and what not but not the Manual. Turns out it seems to really be on their post-processing software and not just the various modes!
This made my day and I'm excited to shoot even more stuff with the new firmware. Thanks!

If Sony doesn't release 4.4 for SP I might buy the Z1 Compact or whatever will be the SP's succesor(only if it has 2 GB of ram !). What do you think Sony wants me to do ?
Most of the phones that have recently had 4.3 released had said that they were under investigation to get it. It doesn't mean we won't it just means they are going to see how much work it will take to do. Still a really good chance we will see it

Agree with you. I had the same thought!
I do believe that 4.4 will come to SP, since they have announced it as "future version" like last year. I guess they just want to take a break for a while for the whining that we SP users gave to them. :laugh:
Sony should release 4.4 +1 version. Since they support a device 18 months, I reckon that a version above Kitkat will release and that will be the last and the final update.

G3 Lollipop update in few weeks [screenshot]

We knew LG is going to release it before end of the year, but as we can see work on the update is in advanced state already.
Screenshot shows that interface isn't going to be changed dramatically. IMO that's a good thing.

If they were going to release a rom before the end of 2014 (less than 2 months away) they were always going to have the rom in a near complete state by the middle of this month at the latest.
Mixture of lg's ui and lollipop's ui...
It is awkward
I have a feeling it's going to be a horrible mess of elements.
I doubt about "a few".... 2 or 9 . Anyway, this is a good new.
Oh man. That quick settings panel looks horrible. I hope the finished product doesn't carry those Optimus UI elements.
Jesus, that's terrible looking.
LG
Please dont use this disgusting color in lollipop
It is not appropriate color for lollipop
Why the softkey doesn't change ?
It's not final.
I don't know why are you telling it looks horrible. G3 UI is flat and fits material design. Notifications look same as on N5 + quick settings. Nothing horrible here imo...

There are already Lollipop KDZs for the F400 variants out there now! You gotta pay for them on this site but Im sure they will surface "other" places very soon
http://www.lgbbs.net/forum-65-1.html
Honestly I wished LG would provide us a more "vanilla" look... Apart from the introduction screen and notification panel not much seem to have change graphically :/
Just hoping it's not the final look
I just wish they would forget about updating to Lollipop and concentrate all of their available resources on properly optimising what we already have.
Oh god i am so hyped.

Sony said they are concidering the new API if people want it.

Looks like sony is 5 months ahead of schedule for 5.1
Though then again 4.2,4.3 and 4.4 were faster then expected

Since certification we have to wait at least two months like it was with 5.0.2 Lollipop, so the earliest ETA we can expect Android 5.1.x is July 2015

Actually the only ones it shows NOT in testing and still in Developement are the Note 4, Note Edge and tab 2. All others are complete or in testing.
Within the NEXT 2 WEEKS MM goodies will be delivered.

I think we can all agree that Samsung skips the testing phase and just pushes out whatever they developed, bugs and all.
Actually it was worse with my nexus. Official builds were basically Beta until CM or other device cleaned them up.
