I would say ram is an unnecessary worry. It doesn't matter how much free ram you have. The android os will auto manage it. In Google words " unused ram is wasted ram". This phone has more than enough ram at 2gb n at anytime my free ram is hovering around 1gb. This will differ among users as depends on type of app you are running. So I am unable to say whether there is an improvement as I never bother to really monitor it
My phone till today had never hung or crashed despite running many app at same time
Guys who tried to tinker with such stuffs will only bring unexpected issues. I have tried these stunts before in my early years using Android. After getting to understand how Android works I have stayed away from task killers, memory management/booster app etc
I only spend couple of hours on kitkat n phone back to my missus. Can't say much except it seems be slightly smoother n slicker. My missus has zero complains on kitkat. She uses it more as a mini tablet for browsing, facebook, reading news, email etc
Anyway my habit is always to upgrade all my gadgets to their latest versions. Not so concerned good or bad. If unhappy just downgrade it back.

Writing to ext sdcard is kitkat restriction n affect all kitkat phones. At least the internal files manager can write onto it. For app did you try nextapp sdfix ( need root) to overcome it?
This wrap failed text is in which app?

Can you give some example of the apps?

I always try to use mobile version of most of the websites I used
For Boat - I rarely faced such issues as I had set the fonts to a very easy readable size at Text Scaling 140% : even on desktop mode I can easily read it without any zooming
You need to experiment yourself to find the best text size
For this X1 - I find Dolphin browser is best if you are concerned about such zooming issues

I read on forum XDA several users commented fonts too big as is 400dpi on KitKat. Google Now launcher cannot be installed because of this. I was unable to find the parameter ro.sf.lcd density in the build.prop file for this dpi setting
Seriously I don't notice the icons/font sizes are any substantially noticeably bigger than JB ( B007)
I tested and Google Now launcher can be easily installed and run without any issues
Strange that some users faces such problems on their kitkat

Just tested installing n no such issues
Since already installed will test this browser
Had never like it previously

Please read my earlier comments #758
So far no problem w app. What app are you concerned about

Tab S is really too big to be used as a phone. It is unpocketable. More suitable as a tablet
The X1 is a phablet
Decision will be based on one's needs of getting these gadgets.
Overall the Tab S 8.4 has higher hardware specs vs this X1

Display depends on individual preferences
I had compared before both and I still find the Tab colors oversaturated n fake. I prefer the X1 display anytime over it.

Sandisk 128gb class 10 working well on this X1
Now I can keep my favorite audio n movie files ( totalling close to 50gb) plus audible n ebook collections.

Yes in Fat 32
The app is Solid Explorer

Ip6+ can never be a replacement for this. If i get the ip6+ it would be only my spare phone. And it'd be an expensive toy as would be mainly unused. No idea how much better ios8 will be but till ios7 I am still unhappy with it. I had used all the iphone series till ip5 ( skipped ip5s) n yet to be fully impressed other than its smoothness. Its closed system needing itunes n its poorer browser, email ( vs Android) is a turn off. Must say most of iphone apps are good n i wont say is top of the world as expounded by its fans.
Had read several user comments on XDA about kitkat on X1. Strange some cannot install Google launcher ( claiming incompatible), google+, agoda, foursquare etc
I have zero problems on these app. They claimed is the 400dpi issue of which personally i dont see any significant differences
Only issue with Kitkat is I need to edit some system r/w files ( see post 4) before installing xposed mod, titanium backup ( so that can write onto ext sdcard), nextapp sdfix ( to enabled some app only to write onto ext sdcard). Is just a one off task only.

Yes no issues w B006 n B007
Why dont you test out kitkat b102 instead?
This is meant to be a phone first tablet second.
Get a nexus7 instead if you prefer a tablet

I don't understand your comment
My previous 64gb I used until left 8gb space left only
This 128gb as of now only 30+ gb space left only
And I last install B102 firmware from the ext sdcard ( 64gb) with only 9 gb space left
Could it be some of partition is already spoil in your ext sdcard??

What app did you use to do that ? Try using solid exlorer or root explorer

Guys - anyone knows how to disabled such annoying Consumption Reminder notifications. I am very happy with the X1 battery life and I find this just a nuisance

Thanks a lot. Will check it up when I am back home

Thanks for the headsup... will go n download it now
Russian based ??

Seriously what type of bugs are you facing.. I don't seem to find any ??
If certain apps incompatibility easily solved by editing the system R/W files and follow it by installing the app

Is there even a X2 in planning stage ??
