Android 4.4 KitKat has been officially announced and as usual, the latest version of the Android OS debuts alongside the a new Nexus, the Nexus 5. So, what's new? Well, the 4.4 KitKat aims to reach the next 1 billion users and it will scale automatically to fit on the devices with as little as 512 MB of RAM.
The design of the OS has been polished and it looks better than ever. Android 4.4 brings a new phone app, which now helps you search across your contacts, nearby places or even through any other Google app accounts, right from your dialler app.
Google's new Hangout app comes out of the box on Android 4.4. It puts all your SMS and MMS under one roof along with other conversations and video calls so that you don't miss messages regard;ess of how they are sent.
The lock screen now has a camera shortcut and there is an option to rearrange the home screens to match your requirements. All devices without hardware keys now get extra room as the navigation interface disappears as soon as an app is launched.
As one can expect, the newest Android version brings a whole lot of new features for Google's search platform. You can now activate search with keywords and the speech recognition engine is about 25 percent more accurate than before, according to Google.
You can use the hotwords to launch voice search with the Google Now, send a text, get directions or even play a song. The upcoming version of the Google Now will bring new card types that keep you updated with contextual topics of interest to you.
Android 4.4's new framework allows you to AirPrint (a feature similar to wireless printing), which is however limited to HP printers only for now. The OS now supports third-party cloud storage in the Gallery app
Google aims to make Android accessible to everyone, even people with low-end hardware. In the past, due to the memory constraints, some lower-end smartphones couldn't get a taste of the newer Android versions, but with KitKat that's about to change. Android 4.4 KitKat removes unnecessary background services and reduces the memory consumption to a large extent, which now allows the OS to run smoothly even on devices with 512MB RAM. Ironically, the Galaxy Nexus with 1GB RAM will not get KitKat.
Google has also managed to enhance the battery performance through its sensor batching, which reduces the data requests. Lastly, Android 4.4 comes with under the hood tweaks and changes to enhance the overall performance of the OS.
Android 4.4 KitKat will be powering the newly launched Google Nexus 5 out of the box, while the roll out for the other Nexus devices will begin in the coming days.

It will be interesting to see if I get the update for my N4 or N7 before my N5 gets here.
OH NO! I have become a Nexus fanboy:silly:

Ordered a black 16GB N5, unsure of whether I'm going to keep my N4 as a backup or sell it. The N4 will probably see a system dump and ROM from N5 4.4 before we get the OTA lol

[Q] N910F - LTE Enabled on T-Mobile via CM12

Hello everyone,
For the longest time I was not able to get LTE connection on my Note 4 international variant (N910F). I called T-Mobile about it, since I knew the phone had the capabilities to connect, and T-Mobile told me that I should have bought their phone if I wanted LTE, and that they could not help me.
Giving up all hope on LTE connection, I started installing roms to see what cool features where out there. I installed several different roms, and still I had no LTE (not that I was thinking of getting it). Then I installed CM12 and LTE appears! I check the speeds and indeed I was connected to LTE on T-Mobile line. Everything was great until I found out CM12 has three great bugs that I cannot live with: 1) No apps to SD possibility and 2) Access to the camera, from any app, crashes. I have to reopen the app a second time for the camera to function (Messenger has no access at all) and 3) Various app crashes.
So I returned to stock rom, but I miss the features of a custom rom (especially ViPER) and LTE. I tried other roms but I can't find any with LTE working.
Do you know what part of CM12 enables LTE? And if I can flash it into another more stable custom rom?
Thanks

With stock formware on N910F, the LTE icon is displayed as 4G. Try checking your connection again by going to Settings>About Device> Status... then under Mobile Network type.. you can see if you are actually connected to LTE.. There is also an app called Network Signal Info on play store. Good luck

I checked the connection on mobile network on stock ROM and the highest option I had was 4G. Maybe I'll email CyanogenMod and ask them. Thanks though

Yup....
On international phones, LTE signal is represented by 4G icon. So if you see 4G on your phone, it's actually LTE. You were already getting LTE in the first place. You did not have to flash roms and void warranty.

Do you see "LTE" as in the picture below?

When i did that it displayed HSPA+... And on speed tests it would go maybe 500kbps.. Now with CM12 I have LTE and downloads 3.5Mbps

Xiaomi Mi5 3G/LTE testing. (In Progress)

Update:
As of 03/31/2016 I'm testing networks that ride on AT&Ts towers seeing as T-Mobile hadn't been working. (Guessing band limitations.) Updated below is Straight Talk HSPA/HSPA+ initial tests. (Tested indoors near Sacramento California.)

I'm getting the Xiaomi Mi5 and know allot of you already have or plan to get it. I'll be posting speed tests for California USA, Sacramento area on various carriers. Post your results, carrier, and region below! (Keep region results minimal if wanted.)
Thanks!

Reserved.

Also reserved.

Not that it's my concern. But people want to probably know if band 20 works

I'll be keeping my eye on this thread. :cyclops:

please test the signal (2g, 3g and 4g) if is strong, compared with another cellphone; and how is the call quality and how is the voice,
thank you

Test band 20 please!
Sent from my G3

All bands that I can test will be tested but please do keep in mind that I live near Sacramento California and will only be able to test my area, Tahoe, San Fran.
I will be testing with multiple carriers also.
This is a group effort, anyone who has it, test it.
Thanks all!

Definately interested in this thread, the only two reasons I haven't got a Mi5 yet is because
a) I'm Australian, and they don't support band 28 (supposedly) and
b) They haven't released the Pro model yet.
I do have some questions though, as the first post is quite vague...
What will you be testing? Throughput? Reception? Supported bands?
If you're testing bands...
Will you just be testing in its' completely standard state?
Are you going to attempt modification with QPST/QXDM to enable US bands?
If you can indeed get more bands on it I'm getting one.
I do believe that it's a possibility - I read somewhere (can't find the source now...) that the X12 modem is the first by Qualcomm to have the modem/baseband in the same solution.
I'm assuming the reason some phones could be unlocked and some couldn't before this is due to vendor-specific modem adjustments or different sub-SKUs of the Qualcomm chipset, so I'm excited to see if it's possible.

All reasonable questions.
I'll be testing latency, download, upload, bands on specific carriers, and reception on specific carriers.
I won't be testing any modifications any time soon, sorry.
Thanks!

I've just switched my network in order to make use of Volte and 4G+. Looking forward to seeing how fast it can go. Supposed to be upto 300mbps over here in DK

With the 2G network shutting down in Australia at the end of this year, I'm actually very keen on a replacement that can handle concurrent 3G/3G on each sim.
Would you also be able to test this?

From what I have seen for reason they only offer a few bands on LTE bands.

Interested on all this "questions" as well.
Just got mine Mi5 64Gb pre-ordered for about 440eur!

Well, the eBay seller I bought my Xiaomi Mi5 from just said he's out of stock. I'm now in the process of getting a refund and will be trying to get another Mi5 soon.
Keep the thread alive, do some speed tests etc. and I'll keep everyone updated!!
Thanks!

Update: Back on track to getting the Mi5 ?

I'm very interested in this phone. I just want to make sure it works in Las Vegas on T-Mobile LTE.

Most likely no, the LTE won't work.

I found the Qualcomm drivers for the Xiaomi Mi 5 in the Diag mode
Code:
*#*#717717#*#*
With these it should be possible to unlock more bands, at least in theory.

Petition to Blackberry

Sorry for the slightly offtopic post, but I guess it might be interesting for some of you here.
The new Gartner report came out and it's not looking too bright for Blackberry, so I thought, maybe we can convince them to build us a replacement for our aging Droid 4s (an Android side slider with unlocked bootloader).
I started a petition to them at change.org. If you want to see something like that built, please sign the petition!

Qwerty slider from BlackBerry, please!
Yes! This is what we need:

More pictures: BLACKBERRY DROID
Droid 4 is the best phone I have ever had but we really need upgrade soon! Performance is not lasting forever (link). Too bad that we never had Droid 5. Here are pictures of the rumoured prototype:
2Gb ram and MSM8960DT would have been nice like on Droid Mini, Ultra and Maxx.

This isnt really off topic at all. Most of the people who visit here are wishing for a hardware keyboard in some form or the other. There's good news though.
Over on the MaemoTalk forums, there is a thread about making a hardware keyboard MotoMod for the Moto Z, y'all should check it out. (I'd post a link but I'm too new to post one)

Thank you for that information. Things are moving fast: Twitter
Here is some info (link)
The device will be produced in one of the Foxconn factories, I hope that can assure quality concerns.
This will be the keyboard layout to start with, not sure if the pic quality is clear enough, as the server compresses the image...
The left D-Pad has been ditched unfortunately, to favour general taste...
There is also some interesting add-on:
- Android home (circle) and task view (square) has been added to the keyboard and back (Triangle) will be merged with esc, basicly they do the same thing.
- Added different shortcuts above number row rather than Fn numbers. The F1/F2 on top right are open for user to map.
- There will be a dedicated camera button act as a shutter because to use camera the slide has to be open

Indiegogo campaign will be launched soon. This doesn't mean that we can't have blackberry qwerty slider also !

This seems kind of useless, given that Blackberry would never release an android phone with an option to root it.
I took a look at most of the Blackberry Android phones, but had to rule out alle of them.
No root -> no Adaway -> Unusable phone
No root -> No Xposed -> No Xprivacy -> Privacy Nightmare
And as already mentioned: We need crtl and tab keys

I am using a PRIV, I have no problem with the lack of Adaway or Xposed. I think this initiative is great - a horizontal (landscape) slider would be awsome - much better than PRIV with its vertical (portrait) slider!

Question Motorola x40 touch sample rate

I have a Motorola X40 and my biggest gripe with it is they downgraded the touch sampling rate on the X30 Pro/Edge 30 Ultra from 360hz to 240hz. The game mode allows the touch rate to be boosted to about 375hz on the X40 but I was looking to see if there was a way to keep it there all the time through adb or something without having to enable game mode on all my apps. Any ideas or help would be great;

Hey Daniel, thanks for the reply, and I live in the US. I bought the phone for a pretty good deal from a guy that couldn't deal with 5g not working. I live in a rural area so 5g doesn't work better then lte anyway, so I don't care. Other things that I have seen not work with the phone is "hey Google" and Google location history, so I may flash the global ROM eventually. Also I know I can add apps to the game mode, I was just wondering if I could apply the higher touch sampling mode system-wide and have it stay on. It looks like some other Motorola phones had a setting to increase touch sensitivity, so I wasn't sure if maybe it was present somehow or if anyone knows a way to enable this. Thanks.

Hmm how strange, that 5G doesn't work for you. There's another user here from us on at&t and it works on his phone. What network are you on?

I use a MVNO called Red Pocket Mobile that uses gsma bands (which are operated and owned by ATT). I can't imagine anyone got this phone to work with ATT directly as they verify the IMEI to make sure it's a device they whitelist for use on their network. Even my old Poco F3 and OnePlus 7 Pro were not allowed to be used directly with Cricket Wireless which is owned by ATT. I had received a text about an hour after inserting my sim that "the network could not be verified", and they would not work at all. The phone market in this country is awful which is why I like to do everything I can to escape the Samsung or Apple duopoly.
