Android 4.4 KitKat Issues And Problems That You Should Know

Google has a lot of work to with several reported Android 4.4 KitKat bugs by various sources. In November, Google launched its Android 4.4 KitKat exclusive for its Nexus devices such as Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10.

After it arrived to its users, several complaint reports were made regarding issues with the software. A significant number of users demanded for an Android 4.4.1 KitKat update for bug fixes. Unsurprisingly, Google rolled out the Android 4.4.1 KitKat update a few weeks after. The update was aimed toward fixing camera issues of the Nexus 5, which was believed the greatest flaw of the device.

Then Google released the Android 4.4.2 KitKat, another update, for security reasons. This is the latest version of Android KitKat.

Nexus owners are truly having problems with the Android 4.4 KitKat as Google Product Forums are pretty loud about it. Apart from that, other complaints abound like the one from a Reddit user named lazy_elf, who painstakingly compiled a list of Android 4.4 KitKat issues on his Nexus 4 device. About 27 issues were identified, some were quite minor while others were too massive to ignore. In response to the post, other users started to post their own issues with the Android 4.4 KitKat.

Other problems mentioned were poor battery life, poor connectivity, UI flaws, among others. Also, Android Police claimed another audio bug on the Android 4.4 KitKat. Users are crying for another Android 4.4.3 KitKat update to fix these issues.

Although Google has not confirmed some of the issues on the Nexus 5, a new version of Android 4.4.2 KitKat update has been spotted lurking on the Nexus 5. It is not yet clear whether or not this update will be released to the public.

Google is known for being unpredictable, thus, users suffering from issues and problems need to endure and wait for updates or look for temporary fixes at the time being.

No one was reported to have seen the hack. Even the Zone-h mirror didn't confirm the defacement, displayed a message "The mirror is onhold and has not been verified yet". So, we didn't have strong proof to report the hack. Today, Rovio, creator of angry birds, confirmed that the defacement was there for few minutes and corrected immediately. Now, the Zone-h record also confirmed it. Antti Tikkanen, Director of Security Response at F-Secure Labs, said in twitter that the attack is actually 'DNS Hijack attack'.
