If you’re a Nexus user like me, you must have been thrilled to see the notification for the Nexus update – Google has finally rolled out KitKat 4.4.3 and we were promised to have many of the existing bugs squashed.
Unfortunately the update isn’t perfect, and from my very own experience I can say that I have at least one new problem.
The update promises to fix many widespread issues with MMS, Wi-Fi, Exchange, and the camera among other things. It also changed the dialer (I admit I liked the previous one) and the contacts manager (which still needs too many taps to edit a contact). But the update has been reportedly detrimental to some Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 users, with many complaining about Wi-Fi connectivity, random reboots, broken notifications, battery problems, 3G issues, and the list goes on.
My personal experience is a battery that thankfully lives twice as long, but also takes twice as long to charge. I have two different chargers and both of them charge the phone at a much slower rate; the one that’s packed with the phone takes a a few hours to fully recharge.
