Google made Nexus 4 owners wait almost three weeks for their Android 4.4 KitKat update, and yet it seems the release still wasn’t ready for public use. It’s now causing all kinds of problems on the device, including excessive battery drain, Bluetooth connectivity issues, random reboots, and unresponsive home buttons.

Today, Google has published the latest distribution figures of the Android operating system which ran over a 7-day period. The numbers reveal a consistent growth in the amount of Android users running Jelly Bean, whilst older versions of the OS continue on their path towards extinction. As anticipated, this months results also show a small amount of users running the latest software version, Android 4.4 KitKat.

Google has successfully managed to roll out the Android 4.4 KitKat update for all the supported Nexus and Google Play edition devices within a couple of weeks of the OS being announced. Sadly, the current build of KitKat is not without its issues and contains a lot of bugs and issues, especially on the Nexus 5.

Google has already stated that it is working on an update that should fix most of the issues with KitKat. Turns out, the update might just be  around the corner and might land before Christmas arrives. 

It was widely expected that the Nexus 5 from Google would also include the always on listening feature as seen on the Moto X, since the Snapdragon S800 processor has a dedicated core for audio processing while barely sipping any power. While the Nexus 5 does have the ‘Ok, Google’ feature, it only works on the home screen, and not when the device screen is turned off.

As it turns out, there is more to Motorola’s Touchless control feature than what meets the eye. 

Samsung Galaxy S4 users on NTT DoCoMo in Japan will begin to receive their Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update later this month. The update will add a number of new features and TouchWiz improvements, including support for the Galaxy Gear.
