Nexus 5 4.4.2 initial reaction. - Nexus 5 General

Check out the amount of Ram

I was always using about 650mb to 790 with most apps closed with just system apps open maybe placebo effect but I think there's a difference

1.3Gb free RAM on my side like you
As far as I remember, this was not the case before upgrade.

I though there was a difference hopefully this will result in better battery life and faster performance

This update fixed camcorder/photosphere/panorama underexposure for me. Not completely. But it's not unusably pitch black anymore.

Switch between camera and camcorder and there's a massive difference
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

There improvements in opening the camera app much faster?

Woah... you're right. I'm typically around 0.9 GB of RAM being used, but now I'm at 504 MB. As long as my apps still load as snappier as before, I think this is a step in the right direction.

my ram usage says 1.1gb free right now, ill check later what it is after i update to 4.4.2

I've seen you mention this before. When did it start?

on reboot I got 524used free and 1.3gb free. Whats the problem?

The Apps screen is not accurate. Use CPU-Z to check available free ram.

This issue applies to all camera modes, except the still one. Plaguing presumably since day 1. I've always noticed it. It seems to have gotten marginally better with the updates. I used to get complete black videos/panoramas in dimly lit conditions, much unlike what the still camera gave. It's a little better now, but there's a noticeable difference in exposures. It has been documented and responded to here: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/nexus/UB5u0brAq68/k42GmRkZV0cJ

Some of the reported low benchmarks are not matching real life use. Everyone is reporting EXTREMELY snappy gameplay and app usage on the Nexus 4. What's the deal?? This must really solidify the moniker that benchmarks aren't everything.

It may also have something to do with the 4.2 update. Just like two years ago when the Nexus S came out and quadrant kept crashing all the time because it wasn't compatible with GB.
can we get a quadrant?
Could someone please also run Linpack?
I think as what qreffie said, the benchmark software isn't optimized yet for the new phones and therefor it shows bad scores

It feels like the N4 should score about the same. I also think it has something to do with the 4.2 update and the apps not optimised for it.

Based on some benchmarks sure but after owning so many Google phones, Nexus 7, ASUS transformer, trying modified kernels and overclocks, ...my head is spinning, this is a totally different experience.

Don't worry folks!! When we get some custom kernels we'll see what this phone is all about.
My phone (Dual core s4 Evita) only got around 4200 on quadrant... and probably 170 on linpack which is fast as hell compared to most devices.. after a few months of development the phone is a completely different device. This device will be even better!! More source, bigger dev community etc.
This is what I get on my custom ROM at stock speeds with half the ram and half the cores.. just imagine what the nexus will be like by January
Single and multi threaded.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Anyone got the new update yet (13300)?

Just wondered if anyone had the new update yet, and if there were any user facing changes / improvements that we could see?
I got it on one of my chromecast.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
I'm noticing the 'home' screen has faster changing backgrounds and more regular moving of on screen elements to prevent screen burn, which I like as am using on a plasma tv. Background changes every ~13 secs and the chromecast name 'section' moves a bit every 4 seconds. More than before. Now back to rewatching 24 season 1...

Yeah it much smoother and audio quality is much better. But still same limitations :banghead:
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Ever since the update, I've lost the ability to cast from my phone and do anything else. When I go back to Netflix to control what's already being casted, it says it can't cast to the device.
After trying everything, I've found that power cycling the Chromecast is the reliable fix.
Maybe the next update will be better for me.

YES!!!!!!!!

Agreed. The phone looks nice but I think the S4 is still better. I had a Nexus device once and it was ok. But the rom options are basically all variations of aosp/cm. It's nice having the option of TW as well.

The removable battery I could take or leave. I would've agreed with you about the SD card situation until recently, when I realized that I was using less than half of my card. I've also recently uploaded all of my music to Google Music, so my local storage needs are basically limited to photos and videos that I take with the phone. Even THAT isn't really a big deal anymore since it's all uploaded to Dropbox anyway.
Either way though, I'm willing to make the tradeoff at this point.

Good points all around.
I'm not up for an upgrade. It definitely is tempting. And I guess it would only be about $100 after selling the S4.
Just don't know if it's worth it. I can see where you're coming from after the issues you had yesterday.

Kit Kat Antutu Benchmark

How many of you have noticed a huge drop in your benchmark after the kit Kat update? I was scoring right above the Gnote 3 to barely passing the gnote 2.

I did notice a slight drop. I was scoring above the gnote 3 and now i am just under it since 4.4 update.

Mines below the g2 and it freezes and reboots itself now. At&t is sending me a replacement in a few days because of it
I just literally makes me wonder. I know not all devices are equal, but if I had known i would have taken this big of a performance hit I would have never upgraded. Other than the knock feature it just wasn't worth it. I could already take picture ect in 4k resolution on my device. Which seems kind of moot to me it only being a 720p display. I switched to art and yeah it was an even bigger hit. So i placed it back into dalvik.

You can easily flash back. Reroot etcetera, until they maybe get the custom recovery going and we can get some custom Roms. Also most developers will tell you that benchmark tests are really not that important.

5,5" are too much... I tried a G3 a month ago and also if the bezel are so small (i think G2's one are smaller) it's really too big...

Well, for one-handed use, it would be completly useless to me.
I already struggle with the nexus 5, as my hands are not that big.
Had the Gnex for the last two years which was just on the border of being to big, for one-handed use.
But I actually wouldn't mind a 5.5" screen as I use the phone, most of the time, with two hands anyway.
Was thinking about buying the OnePlus One, before I bought the nexus 5 a week ago, which is a 5.5 aswell.
Thought lg said that they haven't been asked to do a new nexus
