The update to Android 4.4 for the LG G2 KitKat come in March - Android Help

LG G2 is the latest release of the South Korean company, being a smartphone that shares many features with the Nexus 5, as they are manufactured by the same company. However, there is an essential difference, the firmware. While the Nexus 5 already has Android 4.4 KitKat, LG G2 could not get the update until March of next year 2014.

launch of a new version of firmware by Google always a lot of work for different companies. On the one hand, are required to upgrade, because otherwise users will question you are not saying that companies that support their smartphones. On the other hand, an update that has not been properly tested can contain many errors, which will be also widely criticized by users, and which in turn implies more work and time to do the company has to focus on solving errors with a new update.

LG is one of the companies that are in this situation. In fact, it appears to be worse than Samsung and Sony in regards to updates. And, Elliot Court, representative of LG Canada, reported that the update to Android 4.4 KitKat for LG G2 will not arrive until March. This is really critical, since it is the highest-level smartphone company. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 update much earlier, and the Sony Xperia Z1 also preparing for an early upgrade. Until March have yet to spend three to four months, which is really worrying.

still more worried when the other large terminal of the company is the Nexus 5, a smartphone whose firmware is supported by Google, not by LG. Currently, the LG G2 has Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, and offers a rather old looking for a phone with a price like this. It is certainly bad news for buyers LG G2, but at least you have the certainty that the update will come.

Android version 4.4 KitKat has come to Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One in the editing of Google Play in America. Among the new features in this update include hangouts with consolidated text, video and MMS, new software for camera HDR + and better interconnectivity applications with Google search.

This was announced on Tuesday the Internet giant on its official Google+ page. Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One are the latest “smartphones” to update to the latest version of Android, which increasingly are becoming more terminals, such as the Nexus 4, Nexus Nexus 7 10 or the Motorola Moto X, reported the newspaper ABC .

However, the Nexus 5 was the first to feature Android 4.4 and also the only one that has integrated Google Experience Launcher. In addition, the issue of Google Play Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One differ from the versions of the free carriers that sell an experience of ‘pure Android’ interface without customizations of each manufacturer.

Why is not recommended to install Android 4.4 KitKat before ... - Tuexperto.com

Force update Android 4.4 (KitKat) is not an advisable idea. So of course it explains Dan Morris , Google engineer . A few days ago, the company Mountain View introduced what has become the new official version This operating system for phones and tablets. The disadvantage is that the upgrade process still continue for some months. In fact, as is usual in this kind of packets, Android 4.4 (KitKat) come in the first instance to Nexus , devices that are in the catalog Google and as part of their own releases as a trademark. The fact is that users of other handsets running Android and included in the list of candidates for the upgrade will not receive their corresponding ration KiKat until a few weeks with the possibility that the process can be extended until early next 2014 . So no surprise that the most impatient users are trying to update their devices unofficially. But this practice may involve certain risks …

To get the update that users want both methods are relatively complex, but effective. What to do in case of Android 4.4 (KitKat) , is to remove all information contained in the Services Framework . With this trick, what it does is force the arrival update via OTA (Over The Air) o Through the Air, for which no cables or software are not required. The problem is that this method can be a bit dangerous for those users who want to continue the functions of your device. As explained by Dan Morris engineer through a thread on Reddit site , the fact that these data can eliminate problems that users report, mostly unknown.

getting this tactic is to assign a new ID (identifier) ?? to your smartphone . And although in principle this should not cause major problems for the user, it appears that short communication with the servers change. Thus, all applications that work through the notification system GMC (Google Cloud Messenger) have not been used.

Luckily, there is already a solution to this problem. So if you have detected that the applications do not work because you have updated to Android 4.4 (KitKat) by the unofficial route, you can run the command adb sideload to do a full reset terminal. At reset, you should be able to check that everything is in order. In principle it should be.

Anyway, it is best to wait for the official update comes naturally. The first to receive Android 4.4 (KitKat) will be the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC Google One Edition , with the possibility that international versions are updated later this year or early next. The owners of these teams should receive notice through the notification system.

Flash is no longer compatible with Android from KitKat, Puffin is the ... - The Free Android

updating to Android 4.4 KitKat we are seeing developers have to face new APIs and a restructuring of how the intricacies of the applications work. One that has changed significantly is the Adobe Flash Player, which is not compatible with devices that KitKat. So far what was missing was the support from Google, but could continue to operate in certain browsers.

When you try to open a video the browser shows a message that tells us that n or playback can be activated in flash, and are working on a method to solve . However, considering that this add still has much use, better go looking for alternatives and continue to give support until it finally disappears.

currently exists that we know of only one method to use Flash in Android 4.4. Adobe’s recommendation since June 2012 is that we used the Dolphin Browser, and that they had stopped working with Google on the compatibility of Flash. But now even with those if you have Android 4.4

already explained how to install Flash Player on Android in the past, if you have the latest version of Android.

Today we have a new option, the Puffin browser uses the cloud so allow us to play Flash on web pages , though we KitKat with Android 4.4.

That if this support has some limitations. For example, we can only be used for eight hours a day, and even developers may restrict this type even more depending on the circumstances. In addition, its official website tells us that only have two weeks of flash support, since that is the evaluation period . After that time we will have to pay for the full version of the browser. The reason behind this limitation is that this content actually goes through servers Puffin, with the added consequence that we can not visit those sites blocked from that country.

The browser also includes support for the flash, download your cloud, several add-ons like pocket, evernote, facebook or translate … temás desktop style and so already have Chrome. Another option that may not be as complete as the best Android browsers but surely the option to play Flash is a very interesting incentive in situations where we need it.

How to make your Android look like iOS 7? - Unocero

Advantages of Google’s mobile operating system, one in particular is really useful for those who like to personalize your smartphone : the ability to change the launcher , lock screen and other default apps. With this you can make your Android look and function as if iOS 7, further, is so easy that you can do in minutes.

Since some developers are looking for ways to give more alternatives to Android users, one in particular has virtually all the solutions needed to achieve the task at hand.

your Android look like the pictures, the first thing to be installed is:

Espier Launcher 7

runs directly from Google Play and is a replacement for the traditional menu icons, widgets, buttons, transitions and basically everything you know from your Android.

install must open the app to do an initial configuration and done, return to home (if a screen showing the “level of similarity to iOS you just click” Skip “appears).

will see that everything now looks like iOS 7, from icons and transitions to exclusive commands like pull the screen down to reveal a search bar, or up to find the most used apps.

As follow

using this application, possibly a dialog box that asks what software should complete the task appears. Espier Launcher must choose 7 as the default and press the button for this launcher stay running all the time.

Download here .

Espier

Screen Locker 7

After

launcher have installed, other apps are installed the same way. With Espier Locker 7 lock screen will be replaced by iOS 7.

In this case you will have the option feature “Slide to unlock” and the initial configuration can enable other options, such as the shortcut button on the camera or numeric password protection.

Download here . Pro version available (5.50 USD / 71.98 pesos)

Espier

Notification 7

This app installs the new iOS notification bar 7, where new events separated in categories “Today,” “Everything” and “Lost” appear. One disadvantage with this is that many of the notifications as Google Now or others that are generally taken into “normal” Android will no longer appear in this bar, probably for some software incompatibility problem.

Download here . Pro version available (5.50 USD / 72.02 pesos)

Espier

Control Center 7

Another tool

features of iOS 7 is the Control Center, where you can change the volume, brightness, Bluetooth, WiFi, Data, Calculator, Alarm, Camera and Flashlight.

In this case, if you have a lower bar with Android virtual buttons (like the illustration) will find it very difficult to use Control Center without accidentally activate Google Now, therefore we recommend to disable the wizard of Google to not have problems with operate the new bar.

Download here . Pro version available (4.50 USD / 57.57 pesos)

Espier

Dialer 7

Finally, to complete the look of iOS 7 this application replaces the interface for making calls. You will see when entering a number you name suggestions appear, and if you open the book, it is also made to look like the Apple operating system.

Download here . Pro version available (5.50 USD / 71.98 pesos)

Notably

applications mentioned here are the “lite” version, so they have limitations (like not being able to change the wallpaper), and in some advertising.

If you want to have the full experience can opt for the Pro version which will give more configuration alternatives and ads are removed.

This guide shows the potential of Android to expand the level of customization of the interface. Just as there launchers of IOS, there are many more, so you can try any of them until you find the one that suits your taste.

Google explains how they have managed to optimize KitKat Android 4.4 - Android Help

KitKat

Android 4.4 is not a version of the operating system that incorporates big news at a glance. However, this new version yes that is a significant improvement on Jelly Bean, particularly as related to smartphones and basic medium range. This is how Google has managed to optimize Android 4.4 KitKat such terminals.

And, life is very different when you travel with a Ferrari when you are traveling with a Vespino with a few dozen years. Not just be developing a new version of Android with reference to how this works in a flagship, that when you are testing a mobile version that low end. And precisely in the latter have focused to get Android 4.4 KitKat out faster than ever and it work the right way in mobile with low-level specifications. Was Dave Burke, engineering manager at Google Android, which explained how they worked to optimize the latest version.

Project

Butter was the beginning

all started with what was called Project Butter and came with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Consistency, that was what was said was missing from Android. With a menu that did not move at the correct speed, not fast to the orders that we gave to the smartphone answers. Actually, that was what differentiated Android iOS. With Butter Project focused on just that, getting the system to be much more fluid, much faster, much faster responses, and what they actually got. The biggest problem was that there was still a large number of terminals that did not have the new version and they would never be able to update. On the other hand, there was another big drawback. Users with smartphones with internal memory of only 4 GB or less, and 512 MB RAM memory or less, were malfunctioning, system slowdowns and constant errors.

Svelte

Project, a new approach

Dave Burke explains

Svelte Project aims to continue what they started in Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, but focusing on another factor in getting the operating system was much lighter, did not require much memory to work. I mean, do you thin out, and hence the name, Project Svelte. Everything, yes, without incurring having to remove some of the functions for high-end devices from the company.

How did they do?

Burke continues to explain how they got them out Android 4.4 KitKat lighter. First, they took a Nexus 4 and instead of RAM 2 GB, made that will run with a RAM of 512 MB. Instead of having a quad-core processor, will be made only utilize two cores, and reduced the clock frequency of the processor. Finally, the resolution adapted, passing from high definition, QHD, ie 960 by 540 pixels. In the end, what is left to them is an entry-level smartphone. But the key was that much of the team used the smartphone as the main terminal. Literally say, “It was painful, it was very difficult to start using”

.

However, this allowed them to obtain a correct what smartphone users are currently living with their terminal view. This showed them how important it was that Android 4.4 KitKat was novel in regard to the operation of the new version of the entry-level terminals. His job was to go from your smartphone be a very bad one that worked well, although its specs were not high level, and it seems that the results have been positive.

Among other things, it has reduced the memory usage of the system and the applications running on the Nexus (in this case do not mention other brands, it depends on the manufacturer). They also focused on improving how they responded and how applications stopped working at times of low system memory. They developed systems so that application developers may have more knowledge about how applications run and memory consumption for each of your applications. Among other things, if an application is eating a lot of memory, directly closes, preventing other terminal processes remain hampered because of a single application.

Undoubtedly, this is a very important improvement that although users of high-end smartphones may not perceive much, yes it will be very important for users with entry-level smartphones.

Of course, this, like the recently announced for Samsung Galaxy S4, is not a final and stable CyanogenMod 11 version, so you should see as progress test, although its reliability is quite high.

users who have already tried the ROM, many of the photo XDA Developres , have indicated that the firmware is of very good quality, although not official, found no major problems. This, therefore, indicates that the final version should not be far from seeing the light. Anyway, as always indicated, if you choose to install this type of development, it is best to backup before and also have some knowledge to avoid problems.

way ahead, is published with Android 4.4 version is interesting, but because it is not a final development should not evaluate its use for day to day as unexpected problems that can not safeguard data may appear user. Incidentally, it was also announced that the special versions for Xperia Z1 and Z Ultra are on the way, something that is still unknown to the end of CyanogenMod ROM 11.

BBM is successful, but not Android - Android Help

BlackBerry Messenger has come to the world of messaging applications on one of the worst times. WhatsApp dominates, although not noted for its updates, the fact is we can not talk of many recent errors with very few outages today. But BBM is getting positive numbers, except Android, which seems to succeed.

A null

Release

BBM was launched as a continuity of service that existed for smartphones from the Canadian brand, but now also going to be available for Android and iOS. The launch of the application, in fact, was nil. Not that it was not successful, but because there were problems when it comes to the Android version is concerned, because before the official availability of the final version that was to launch BlackBerry, Internet appeared in a preliminary version of the application you downloaded millions people, and the system collapsed, probably because that old application consumed more server resources. As BlackBerry could not control the situation, I had to withdraw the application the same day that launched on September 21. IOS users who had already downloaded the could still be used. Users who have downloaded the wrong version for Android, actually had to uninstall it or stop using it. Whatever happened, BlackBerry was going to work on making this application was unusable. And indeed, that was the reason why they needed time to fix the problem. In any case, even if the launch had to be canceled, the large amount of downloads confirmed that its success was clear.

Incidentally, the fact that it was the wrong version for Android service which collapsed by the number of downloads, the app shows promise to be very successful in the operating system of Google.

New

shot waiting list

However, a month later, on October 21, it was announced that BBM would be thrown back to it again. This time, though, would be a little difference, and that is going to launch with a waiting list. That is, users would receive invitations to access the service gradually, with the objective that the collapses occur and not all could use the application properly. Nor was it a big deal, because it was a matter of days the withdrawal of the waiting list. With regard to statistics obtained by the application, we found that users of iOS and Android totaled five million downloads in just eight hours, ending the day with 10 million downloads. A week later, only the Android app has already been downloaded over 10 million times. The latest figures that we speak of 80 million users in total, but that figure likely will have already changed.

In iOS triumphs rather than Android

However, it does have some really relevant information in regard to the implementation success is having, or rather, the diversity of the success you have in the two operating systems that came last October. For example, we find that the Android version of BBM is alone in the Top 10 in four countries: Indonesia, UAE, Saudi Arabia and South Africa. For its part, the same is not true of the iOS version, which prevails in Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa. Actually, you only need to compare numbers in some countries. In Malaysia, the application for iOS is the number 14, while Google Play is the number 44. In Argentina, BBM for iOS is number 1, while it is number 14 on Google Play. And in the Philippines, which we remember in these difficult times being experienced by the families who have had to bear the consequences of the hurricane, BBM for iOS is the number 26, while Android is number 144.

In Spain

In Spain, the situation is really like. The messaging application Canadian version for iOS is on the 88th, while the Android version is found in the place 172. And especially surprising because the opposite is true with other applications. For example, Facebook Messenger for iOS is ranked 108, while on Google Play we find it in the place 22. Everything could be just the type of user of BlackBerry Messenger and Facebook Messenger. Perhaps this latter application is selected by the young, while BBM is the choice of professionals. Although this does not fit too because a lot of young people have had BlackBerry, being a really affordable in the golden age of the iPhone smartphone. Chances are that everything is due simply to a known BBM is longer for those who have used smartphones application, while Facebook Messenger should be the choice of many novice users, who do have an account on Facebook.
