Android 4.4, KitKat - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Will our device, the Nexus 7 v1, get the official Androidd 4.4, KitKat upgrade?

I would be surprised (and angry) if not.
It still has more than enough hw resource.

Surely it'll.

I'm pretty sure that even the GNex will get it. Google will continue to update any Nexus devices that have enough HW.

Lol dumb question ....of course we will get 4.4/kitkat man

I'm pretty sure we'll get it, but we can't know it 100%. So just wait for the release and you'll know

Oh hell yeah. Adding on to that statement, you also realize that Android 4.4 KitKat is supposed to be supporting older devices and be hardware friendly. Sure it'll come to the Google Nexus, probably the first devices to receive it too. It might even hit the oldest generation of the GNex as well. I have an S4, but my fav ROM is the Google Edition 4.3 which is what I'm running right now! I've been looking on various news articles about 4.4 and I'm extremely excited for it! Apparently, there's rumors that we're going to be receiving a launcher with 4.4 called "Google Experience". It's not a huge update but there are some subtle UI changes which is what I'm dying to get to use. Hopefully it's all what we're looking for!
:good:

Launch
I read, that launch of KitKat should be today.. Does someone know anything more? :fingers-crossed: can´t wait..

As far as I know, it's a rumor.

You guys know only units purchased on a Tuesday will get 4.4......right?????

Yes we will.
However nobody will probably see KitKat until after the Nexus 5 is released...

I predict the 28th of October. The rumors I've seen suggested the 18th or 28th, but I believe it should be released on a Monday and that would suggest the 28th. Anyone else notice that in recent times Android releases have rotated between Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday? 4.3 was released on a Wednesday so 4.4 should be released on a Monday.

Hehe, yeah, I always try to be patient, but I admit I'll probably just use fastboot to update on the first day. At least that way I get a clean start. If I don't like it I can always restore from a nandroid backup.

Gingerbread was released on a Monday, honeycomb on a Tuesday, ice cream sandwich on a Wednesday, jellybean on a Monday, 4.2 on a Tuesday, 4.3 on a Wednesday... 4.4 on a Monday? I'm surprised no one has noticed this before, but then again it could just be a coincidence.

It is and has been a rumor as far as the release date goes. People now would like to say it'll be released on the 28th due to hints on KitKat's twitter page. Who knows. As far as that goes it's all just the media's speculation and none of it is 100% legit.

No one ever knows when things are coming out from Google. It's what makes things special.
if you are wondering if it will get the next version of android - yes. it's a new(er) nexus device. look how long the nexus s was supported.

OMG. Dude, this is just a list of SAMSUNG devices. Nexus devices are GUARANTEED to get updates for at least two years. AT LEAST. You really think Google would stop giving updates to a device that was just release LAST YEAR?
I don't see why some people make such a huge deal about these updates. Sure they are nice to have, but they don't make or break a Nexus device.
I know when it will be released - when it's released.

There will be a lottery, 100 first lucky ones will be upgraded to 5.0, next 100 will be downgraded to 2.2, rest will be switched off and used as cutting boards.
@up
LOLOLOLOL!
@op
Pretty sure the N7 will get KLP somehow, be it by the wonders of the devs at XDA or by those at Google. I prefer the former over the latter, though. Stock has never suited me.
Wow. It's not like this hasn't been asked numerous times.
Will it get KLP? Assuming that will be the official name, it's likely that it will. The N7 is still well within the support life cycle for updates. Eben if it wasn't, the dev community is more than capable of cooking something from AOSP.
When will it come? Sometime after Google I/O. No one has a crystal ball and can forecast this far out what day Google is going to push the update or release the source.

If we don't get it from google the developers will get it working for us. In about half year I'll buy a new nexus. I think I'll wait for a new nexus 10 and upgrade, I never looked to see if a new nexus 10 was released yet.

I'm rather peeved about this delay also. We paid for the MOST EXPENSIVE version of the tablet, and we get treated like stepchildren.
I bet Verizon is behind this with their 800 lb gorilla "fart and the world thanks you" attitude about approving updates and devices. The negative of a single-SKU device. Waiting on some monkey in a Verizon office to decide the update is kosher.

Given that the Nexus 4 is also delayed, it likely has something to do with cellular radio firmware, rather than anything involving Verizon. Just a guess, though.
I'm doing a nandroid now just to return to stock!
Wish they would drop the firmware on the server already!

Now would be a good time to rollback to stock recovery/kernel so that the OTA installs smoothly..
i just rooted on saturday and am still on the latest 4.3, any idea if OTA is a bad idea?
I was so confused because Phandroid.com states that "It’s worth noting that Google specifically mentions “Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 versions with mobile data,” so if you’ve got a WiFi only device or don’t currently have service, you probably won’t be seeing an update in the immediate future." So I'm assuming they are wrong... (not unusual).
Damn it! No New Google Launcher experience. I'll be posting the OTA link in the morning. Of noone poste it early.

I think Note 2 will not see KitKat, the JB 4.3 update arrived very late and the device will dead on it.
It's frustrating my Kies keeps telling me it's downloaded the latest update as I bootup the laptop, sadly it's the 4.1.2 this is a worst tease than than hearing about Kitkat

So we can expect 4.4 cust rom for note 2
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I remember reading on an official Samsung notice that the note2 will be updated to at least 5, which was expected to be released in October, but 4.4 arrived in its place.
4.4 is designed to work on lower spec devices, which should free up some resources to allow for the resource hungry note 3 apps to be ported over. so 4.4 certainly WILL make an appearance on the Note II. and a high probability of at least one more update to 5.0.
then we can start threads crying about the lack of ported apps from the note4 and note5....

Judging by how they bungled 4.3 (the S3 update was pulled and the Note 2 update put on hold in the UK) I wouldn't hold my breath. My contract will be up for renewal in February and I'll be off to another manufacturer.
This was my first and last Samsung.

More than enough. Even phones with 512mb ram can handle 4.4 so there is no excuse. The note 2 can handle 4.4 without any problem but if samsung will update it only time will tell

That's because people get caught up in the hype, expecting the next official release to be as good as the custom roms put out by developers. Or, they just don't understand the all together. I personally have not gotten excited over any release. If I want it that bad, I just grab a rom, which in most cases have the release in it plus other goodies. And I'll have it sometimes months ahead of the official release.

Kitkat is an over haul just not a visual one the note 3 has plenty of ram and processing power we probably do not need the usefulness of kit Kat yet but it should be nice running on my RAZR m it has much weaker specs.
And we should stay up to date for software reasons of you expect to see something different you will be saddened.
