What is everyone version number (this can be found in the Chromecast program that you use to set it up initially by clicking on your chromecast name and scroll to the bottom). Also didn't know that our usage and crash data was being sent to Google, but I guess it is expected, but we can opt out too, better not watch porn people
Mine version is Build 12072

Updated build number is 12840

Mine is 1.1.1 could be because I just got it today.

That's the app version. Not the chromecast.

Kind of OT but the Chromecast extension for Chrome was updated yesterday but who knows what the heck changed since there is no change log.

I received the update, and the connection to the chromecast seems better, I don't get the "can't find a chromecast" message anymore. Now if Netflix could fix their app so I don't SOD on my N4 that would be great. I didn't check root, but I read that root is gone elsewhere on here.

(Vzw) dialer after 4.4 update

SO, j ust got the kit kat update. The new dialer, however, only searches for contacts I already have and does not bring up any local places/businesses search results. Anyone else having this issue?? Location is most certainly on!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

Some people are saying that the bringing up places and businesses may be a Nexus 5 exclusive for now, just like we didn't get the GEL either. I'm not 100% sure myself

Seen that too, do you have hangouts installed and using as your default SMS handler?
Sent on my Moto X

Yes, but I've seen it before I started using Hangouts for SMS.

So I think this has something to do with voicemail. Each time someone leaves a voicemail, this appears.

Yes I think you're correct, its T-Mobile visual voice mail

Any voicemail. I don't have any visual voicemail, but it still showed up. BBS still showed a 1% drain overnight... I can't imagine how good this phone could be without this wake lock.

MMS compression

My AT&T Moto X is sending MMS pictures that are to large to open. My Galaxy S4 always shows that its automatically decompressing when to large. Why does the Moto X not do this and what is the solution. Thanks in advance.

Anyone know the answer?? If this thing can't properly send a picture message I may get rid of it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app

Compresses fine for me. Are you using a 3rd party messenger? Stock messaging and hangouts both will resize automatically. If they're not, you've likely altered something or aren't using the native messaging apps.
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

No, everything is factory set. No third party apps or anything like that. Most pics are sending fine, but some will say "to large" and show a hazard type sign... No idea. Thanks for the input

Same thing is happening on mine. I've tried sending pics to an S3 and the recipient gets " The media content was not included due to a picture resolution or message size restriction". I checked the details and the message size is in the 300-400kb range while picture messages I sent with an HTC doubleshot where usually under 100kb. Am I missing a setting? I am also using the stock messaging app, btw

I set hangouts to be the default messaging app and have successfully sent mms to other Android devices... So there's that.

My wife has the same problem with her XT1053 on T-Mobile. Sometimes instead of the picture, the recipient gets the media content size message.
We've tried sending the same image and different times and on or off wifi. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. We have not figured out a pattern.
We've also tried both the epc and fast apn and with or without MMS proxy set in the apn settings.
She's coming from an iPhone so anything that doesn't "just work" is a glaring deficiency.

whats the pattern you notice because mine has no pattern. I'm having the same issue, on tmobile using the t-mobile XT 1053. I attached a screenshot of the error message I'm getting.
Its been going on for week with me using AIO and using T-mobile, using 4.4 and 4.4.2. I even got my phone warrantied because of it. Still happening, obviously there is a software bug with the stock messaging app. also, my signal randomly disappears -___- I'm waiting on a call back from a level 3 technician.
Motorola, please take note of the moto x bug!

Try using hangouts. I can send anything. But I'm still on 4.4
MOTO X SLAPPED

I had the same problem with the stock app on my T-Mobile moto x. Switched to 8sms and it works fine.

ok, thanks for clarifying. I haven't been able to replicate it either. my girlfriend and i have been working on this issue for days lol. Next step is to get a refund. This says too much about Motorola and the state of android. grrrr!!! #fasterupdates

try 8sms.
maybe carrier restriction?

It's not a carrier restriction. Fact is, the MMS apk file does not include the code to compress down the image. I believe this is also happening with the AOSP Messenger as well. I'm not sure why, but I was having this exact same issue on some other ROMs on my RAZR HD. It's my guess that Google removed the auto-compression code from the AOSP messaging app in an effort to get people to use Hangouts.

I have same problem when sending it to someone with nexus 5. It's weird.
Sent from my XT1056 using xda app-developers app

I gave up on the stock messaging app and hangouts and use 8sms instead. Pictures are fine but I can only get mms through mobile data, not wifi. I'm on Tmobile so I think this is a limitation of the service... Unless anyone knows a way around this.
Sent from my XT1053 using xda app-developers app

I use the stock MMS.apk and I have never had this issue. I've sent pics to iPhones, GS3/GS4, Nexus 5s, you name it. Never had anyone tell me they couldn't see my images. I'm still on Jellybean though, maybe it's a KitKat thing?

***IF YOU ARE HAVING THE ISSUE PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING***
So I'm curious as to what carrier you guys are using? Also is the problem sporadic or constant?
HYPOTHESIS: I have a good case that T-mobile's network is to blame, in my situation. I've been using t-mobile with 2 different moto x (I exchanged because the compression issue) I am currently using a t-mobile HTC One which I will be returning since I thought the issue was my moto x. The issue still occurs on T-mobile HTC One.
So I've had MMS messages always send but some arrive and some don't, using The HTC One as well as the moto x, using t-mobile. What's interesting is this:
All messages take long to send
Some say sent (verified by checking the time stamp and also clicking on the view details for the picture) but after asking the recipient they would tell me they never received it.
I tested with friends from other networks (Sprint and AT&T), they've sent me images and I have no problem receiving them
I've sent messages to friends using other carriers (non-tmobile) they had no issues receiving mine but they would take long to send
Doing the t-mobile customer service test ((SENDING A MMS TO MYSELF, SOMETIMES THEY DON'T ARRIVE BUT WHEN THEY DO THEY ALSO TAKES A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME))
My GF and I both have tmobile branded phones on tmobiles network and all the above situations happen to us both. all the ISSUES I mentioned occur when we text one another too.
I've been testing MMS messages for 2-3 weeks texting a T-mobile iPhone 5 and my HTC One (T-mobile) and 2 Moto X (T-mobile) (XT 1053) all phones were running latest software. So this rules out pretty much every variable. We both have good coverage and have not dropped our phones at all.
THEORY: T-mobile has been aggressively bringing in new customers for months now with all the new plans and marketing and whatknot. So I believe that Tmobiles network is either having proxy issues with MMS or simply they are experiencing network congestion with all the new customers. This is similar to the network issues people were experiencing when AT&T got the iPhone for the first time. Things were pretty bad around those time for AT&T customers and a lot of people.
last, This is the hardest evidence I could get so far being that I can't indirectly test each and every carrier lol
I really do hope this helps!

Tmobile user here.

Unable to beam webpages via NFC after update.

Is there anyone that else having issues beaming apps or webpages to other devices via NFC after updating to 4.4.2? I get a transfer error message that says unable to transfer URL via NFC. Sprint and HTC have both said they haven't heard of any known issues... Until I updated the store demo HTC one and showed the repair technician. I guess I'm trying to find out if these are isolated incidents or something that will be a known issue.

Having the same issue here, though I did not test NFC before the 4.4.2 update. I can receive URLs but I can't send them. Sending pictures and videos works though. Running stock Vodafone branded HTC One

It worked on 4.3. On the store demo phone, we had tested it to make sure it worked before the update and verified that it stopped working after. The Sprint tech said he had submitted a trouble ticket. I also reported it to HTC and they are "going to call" me back in 3-5 days. Just curious as to how long before they fix it.

I'll let you know when mine gets fixed as well. Also, do you have any problems with audio in Skype? Just noticed I can't hear anyone since the update, but they can hear me... weird

I tested Skype. Seems ok to me. Then again I had uninstalled it and reinstalled it for something else prior to you saying something about it. Another thing I noticed with this update is that the 4G icon will disappear while on a call. I can still use data while on the call. It's just that before it let me know data was available. Now it was making me think that doing both wasn't an option anymore.

Turns out the Skype thing was because of the other device. As far as I can see, this update brought us only bad things. NFC not fully working, battery life sucks compared to 4.3... Only improvements are easy change of SMS default app and some visual improvements. I want my battery life back!

I don't have a Sprint HTC One, but after the upgrade to kit kat, NFC isn't working for me.

Does it give you an error message or just doesn't work? I'm assuming you have the NFC toggle set to on, right? Can you provide any specific details? Like does it make the sound effect at all? Any indication that it is at least trying to work?

It gives me an error message, NFC is on, and it works because it shows the error message when I touch both phones. It's very laggy, look at my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660552
