So they decided to name it the letter L? Instead of a type of sweet food?

I've heard both Lollipop and Liquorice but not sure...

I've heard Lollipop, Liquorice, and Lemon Meringue Pie as possible names but not sure, everyone seems to be calling it just L for now.

It looks like 4.4.3 is coming Wednesday for us Verizon owners. Android 4.4.3 update with Extreme Power Saving mode for Verizon One M8 coming Wednesday | Android Central

 

[hotkoko]

Sooooo, why is every other phone getting 4.4.4 and the M8 only getting 4.4.3?

Htcs combining the two so we're basically getting 4.4.4 just staying with the 4.4.3 version

 

[hotkoko]

U actually believe that??? So in few wks or months when they say were getting 4.4.4 then what??? They're gonna say well its actually android L, but were combining.. So were just gonna call it 4.4.4... Come on now, smarten up!

I had heard that as well. Might as well do that since it's the last 4.4.* update before L. Easier to have the carriers test one build instead of two. Pushes it through faster.

There are many sources that confirm 4.4.3 will include the 4.4.4 security updates.

 

[hotkoko]

I'm sure there are gonna be security updates... But it's not 4.4.4

 

[donaldsnell686]

Has there been any report of a delay? I'd hate an update to roll out while I'm asleep and I don't get to see immediate effects.

 

[hotkoko]

So turn off ur automatic download

4.4.4 has only security updates...

According to comments in the article (linked above) the update has been delayed until tomorrow.

I'm just glad I'm not on Verizon. They are very slow to update the OS on phones. If Sprint/HTC can push out updates with the quickness so should Verizon. Sprint has a new CEO who is hungry to knock Verizon off their pedestal.

just received the update notice and downloading now. On Verizon.

 

[Legobricke]

Update is rolling out.... 1:18pm - Atlanta, GA....

I had to go to settings and ask if there was an update though... it connected and I'm downloading now...

 

[dachillefx]

Just received the actual notification. 4.4.3 along with EPSM Extreme Power Saving Mode.

 

[nightowl66]

what is the LED fix suppose to do?

 

[hotkoko]

Supposed to make it work. Lol

 

[hotkoko]

What else are we to get with the update besides EPS and LED fix?

 

[donaldsnell686]

Anyone else hitting check new and getting no response?

 

[ekyle]

I'm thinking that I'll hold off a bit until I start hearing feedback

 

[donaldsnell686]

Ok so I let it sit for a bit and it took the update. Initial reaction (since I took it at 40% battery) is that charging time has greatly decreased. 26% to fully charged in just over 70 minutes. LED still doesn't blink while on charger. Haven't tested EPS (nor do I intend to as I have no use for it)

Is there anything else that needs testing/feedback?

Based on my experience with the VZW GS4 KitKat update, give it 1 day to 2 weeks and then put it through vigorous SMS testing. The GS4 update cause a huge issue for me where texts would either fail (with message) or just hang and say they are trying to send for hours on end. The first time I updated, it didn't start happening until about 5 or 6 days after I took the update. But then with the replacement phones, it would happen just a day or two after the update.

Honestly, I am more than nervous about taking this update. In fact, I very well may hold off for a few weeks just to make sure no one starts complaining about major issues like what I got on the GS4.
