For Answering Machine, is it possible to use an .mp3 file instead of recording from voice? I thought of using a professionally recorded greeting.

Sometime the sounds starts to come from the top speaker (for phone calls) instead of the main speaker at the bottom...anyone else having this problem?

One more thing, after this new update. My camera loads up pretty slow. Slower than before. Anyone else?

same here

hi guys, if I wan to downgrade back from 4.4.2 to 4.3. izzit ok if i do like this:

flash 4.3 using TWRP den use flashtool to flash the tft like what I did on 4.2.2 to 4.3?

Please advice! Really need someone to tell thanks

There seems to be a sound issue for this KK 4.4.2
Whatsapp notification or email notification volume is low despite maximum adjustment in the settings.

YES! I noticed the same thing too. But this only happens to the apps, I am not facing any issue like this when someone is calling in. My ringtone volume is as loud as before.

Seems 4.4 kitkat fir z1 all haywire though

I'm not sure if that can work because there was an issue with TWRP and CWM not being able to load any .zip. I don't know if that has been fixed yet.
This morning I bricked my phone trying to restore from my nandroid backup using TWRP. It couldn't load the .zip then it bricked. So I used Flashtool to install .534, root, install dualrecovery, then update to .136.

You can try your method and see if it works. If not, then do what I just described.

found my RAM also 500+ today. Not sure why yesterday only 300+.

I just uninstalled Angry Bird Go because i never played it anyway and this game keep having an update.

Yeah, it's still new. Someone on other forums report 3rd party movie players can only output audio through headphones and not the built in speaker. I'll wait for the next official update. I'm surprised they haven't got basic stuff like full screen caller on Kitkat or cool stuff like double tap to wake.

I just did a factory reset of my phone and now no problem changing my lock screen background.

For those who face any issue after updating to 4.4, I suggest you do a factory reset as well. It is actually quite common that after a major update, there might be some compatibility issue with the new fw.

Sorry, silly question here.
If I perform factory reset, will it affect my 4.4 os update??

I no need to update all over again right?

No it won't affect os update. But you'll need to install all your apps and change the default settings to your liking.

Did a quick photo test on the kit kat firmware



The above was taken with 8mp and 100% crop. Weird thing i found was the ISO 400 and 800 that I set, turned out to be ISO 640 and 1250 from the exif data. Weird but I will try shoot more on weekend to test.



And here the sample photo of 15mp (top) and 20mp (bottom) for ISO 400 and 800 and 100% crop.

I think I don't feel much improvement on the camera

I went to the volume settings, adjust the slider to the left and then to max again (although the slider was at max before).
After this adjustment, all sound volume went back normal.
Can you try if this fix your sound problem?

There's a limit as to how detail images can be.
I notice noise improvement in high ISO usage. Also if you try to use manual ISO in manual mode, the liveview is smooth. No more laggy liveview.

Mm rarely use high iso coz I am not a heavy low light shooter. I always work within camera limit.

I never have laggy live view issue though unless when I set low iso on low light. Will test that when I got chance.

what are the feedback for 4.4 kit kat so far?
any issue with battery life? im stilll at 4.3...not ready to upgrade yet

had it for one day. love it so far but

1) ring tone is soft for some reason
2) they have yet to fix the auto speakerphone when answering phone calls issue

After I did the factory reset last night, my ring tone volume got louder. Now I only need to set volume to 50%, previously need to set around 70%
