Nexus 5 Android 4.4.3, KitKat Software Update to Correct Camera and Battery Drain Problem

Google might be rolling out the Android 4.4.3, KitKat software update to correct an issue with the Nexus 5 that arose after the previous upgrade.

The problem stems from applications running in the background that are continually trying to access the handset's camera application. Skype tries to access the camera regularly from its background service which is the number one trigger for this bug.

Nexus 5 owners seemed to notice this once they updated their handsets to Android 4.4.2. Google recently stated that it is preparing a fix as the issue has been made known on the company's issue tracking forum. It might come in the form of Android 4.4.3.

The only real solution to the problem at this time is to reboot the device. Uninstalling third-party apps also might help.

this is really a good news. any estimation date for this 4.4.3 update?

Unfortunately, I can't provide an estimate for when the maintenance update will be ready, due to all the testing we need to do for this and other fixes. Until then, rebooting the phone is the only way to stop the high CPU usage/lack of camera function once it starts.

Why didn't you unlock bl when you first got your phone

Either you go the toolkit (eg: wugfresh) way or adb/fastboot way.

I've used wug's toolkit and had no problem(s). But a lot of people would recommend to go the toolkit-less way aka adb/fastboot way

Toolkit is ok, catch is it might not guarantee to work on everyone. You could give it a shot, if failed, there's still good old adb method.

Either Toolkit or adb/fastboot method will Clean wipe your device, so backup your stuff first. (if you haven't unlock your device before)

gentle reminder yea ...

unlock bootloader will factory reset ur phone ..... pls back up 1st

Rooting method n Unlock BL via fastboot is damn easy ..

but rooting method via fast was pinned at 1st page for long long time liao

The Android 4.4.3 Kitkat OS update was expected to roll out in mid-April to Nexus 5, Nexus 7 tablet and Google Play Edition devices.

Android 4.4.3 KitKat has leaked several times online and The Bitbag reported that its official release may happen in mid-April for LG Nexus 5, ASUS Nexus 7 and HTC One Google Play Edition.

The new Kitkat OS update is designed to fix the bugs in the 4.4.2 version of the Kitkat OS, including a major bug called 'mm-qcamera-daemon', which causes the camera to work in the background processes.
