The race is on. Let's see if the X gets the update before any Nexus variants again.:D
 
Just got 4.4.3 this evening.

East coast got it I guess gotta put stock recovery which is always an issue with me and moto devices... It never works only custom
 
I have an irrational fear that it could turn the phone into an iPhone

East Coast completely stock, no update yet, but I haven't experienced any of the bugs listed by ALP so I'm not stressing it.
 
^ Only had had a few of those :). That's just a changelog I found on BGR.


The few I had were:

- Would lose connection sometimes when switching networks, and not be able to get any type of 3/4G back without a reboot. I tether a lot and this happened on my Gnex on Verizon also. I think it is something to do with switching networks/towers or connection direction/type

- I got a rare random reboot maybe once every two weeks. I have been getting this since forever on all my phones. I think it has to do with constant installing and re-installing the same app hundreds/thousands of times to test (as I do my app development work). Corrupts the Dalvik cache I think.

A few other items in the change log sounds vaguely familiar but not enough for me to remember a specific bug I was having.

All of these were minor though, still heart my X. (Not ex, X).

I have noticed the unlock screen sometimes seems to freeze when I have swiped down. Again my phones take quite a beating from the dev work so not sure if this is normal.
 
Considering the changes they made to the dialer (tiled speed dial display, white background on the keypad), I'd like to be able to go back to 4.4.2.
 
I'm sure some intrepid young whippersnapper coder will take the older AOSP dialer and put it on the Play store. :)

This is how things like Nova launcher got started.

There should also be a lot of other dialers out there too. But I havent used any. Not sure how hard it is to swap but should be doable.
 
It's easy to use another dialer but they all have their issues. It seems no one can just make a dialer that's easy to use, like say I don't know.....Froyo ....lol
