Nexus family gets Android 4 4 2 Kit Kat update by OTA
Google preferences shocks, we all realize that. Four days in the wake of discharging the Android 4.4.1, they chose to push out Android 4.4.2, which is a bugfix arrival of a bugfix discharge. It is likely to be one of the fastest OTA pushed ever by Google. They released Android 4.4.1 KitKat just 5-6 days back, they pushed Android 4.1.1 KitKat as I said above and they are pushing Android 4.4.2. Cant Google fix these bugs in a single release or they are adding some more features? Most of the bugs were fixed in 4.4.2 but why they released the update? Answer of these questions are here only.
Whats fixed and whats new

| Thanks my brother for taking this picture |
Whats fixed and whats new
- Fix for clearing the VM Indicator
- Fix for delivery of the VM Indicator
- Various additional software fixes
- Security enhancements
- Faster camera
- Better performace
- SMS DoS fix
- App Ops no longer working
The best thing in the update is about camera. We know that the camera of Nexus 5 is damn slow. Nexus 4 captured the picture on click but Google Nexus 5 clicks pictures slower than Nexus 4, for this problem, Google released Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS. Another thing which is fixed is performance, as Google said in the OTA update screen.
We dont have much news about the update so I listed just two things that are really improved in the update. The update is available for Google Nexus 4, Google Nexus 5, Google Nexus 7 Wi-Fi (2012), Google Nexus 7 3G (2102), Google Nexus 7 Wi-Fi (2013), Google Nexus 7 LTE (2013), Google Nexus 10. The updates are in smaller pack, means not a full zip to install, just the fixes and all so you can download the ROMs easily and install them. Most of the 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 updates are of 1-5 MB while from Android 4.4 to 4.4.2 are from 50-70 MB! You can use OTA but here I have placed the links for manually download too. See the list of the updates beneath.
#I wont recomend you to download these updates from here. Download from OTA in the settings.
#Nexus 7 (2012 editions) never got an Android 4.4.1 update so you need to update from 4.4 to 4.4.2 only.

No iPad Pro or iPad mini 3 expected in 2014 as iPad Air is tipped for update
Apple’s annual iPad updates look set to be pretty lean this year, with latest reports suggesting that while an iPad Air refresh is on the cards, no iPad Pro or iPad mini 3 will be released.
Although multiple rumours of a larger, iPad Pro have circulated in recent weeks, industry analysts have now suggested that Apple’s 2014 iPad collection will consist solely of an update to the 9.7-inch iPad Air.
Speaking in a note to investors, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has suggested that claims of an iPad Pro launch will not be fulfilled this year, with Apple unlikely to launch a 12.9-inch tablet to rival the CES introduced Samsung Galaxy Note Pro.
Claiming Apple will focus its development efforts elsewhere, Kuo offered a bit of wiggle room, stating: “Even if it (a larger iPad) does make an appearance this year, shipments will be low.”
Despite the success of the iPad mini, and subsequent iPad mini 2 which launched last November with a new Retina display in tow, it has been claimed that Apple will not launch a third-generation 7.9-inch tablet this year.
While consumers will have to make do with the iPad mini 2 for a further 12 months at least, serial Apple tipster Kuo has claimed the iPad Air will receive a specs bump this autumn.
Targeting two easy areas of improvement, the analyst has claimed that the iPad Air will be upgraded to a new A8 processor and introduce the TouchID fingerprint sensor incorporating home button found on the iPhone 5S.
According to Kuo’s insiders, Apple’s reduced tablet efforts are being forced by the company’s push to finalise Apple iWatch hardware and software for launch later in the year.
He added that “unless more aggressive promotions are launched,” a lack of new models will see annual iPad sales drop for the first time.

Lumia Black update brings app folders and Nokia Glance notifications
Nokia has launched the Lumia Black update for Nokia Lumia Windows Phone 8 devices.
Read more »
Offering a host of new features for Nokia’s range of Windows Phone 8 devices, the Lumia Black update brings increased functionality to Microsoft’s mobile OS.
“Nokia Lumia Black updates the imaging experiences on your Lumia and makes using the Windows Phone even more fluid”, said Samuli Hanninen, VP of Software Program Management for Nokia’s Smart Devices Business.
Finally, Windows Phone has notifications, well if you own a Nokia anyway. The Nokia Glance screen 2.0 acts a notifications centre for all your important alert, whether that’s from Facebook, email, outlook, Whatsapp or any other app you happen to use.
With App Folders you’ll be able to organise your Windows Start screen a little bit more. As with iOS and Android you can group similar apps or even settings together in one menu, which is presented as a Live tile right on the Start screen.
The Nokia Refocus app will now be available for all your Windows Phone 8 Nokia smartphones and tablets, which lets you tap on a photograph to chose a different focal point.
Other new camera features include Nokia Storyteller, first introduced with the Nokia Lumia 1520 and Nokia Lumia 2520, that organises your photographs according to the date and place they were taken. You can also view interactive maps of your snaps.
The new Nokia Camera app is also included in the Lumia Black update, which basically combines the existing Nokia Pro Camera and Smart Camera apps. This app was originally launched with the PureView smartphones.
Bluetooth 4.0 LE compatibility has also be included in the update across all WP8 devices.
“New App Folders and the ability to close apps in multitasker are my personal favourites. I also encourage everyone to try out the Nokia Refocus app that introduces a whole new dimension to photography,” adds Hanninen.
Just for Nokia Lumia 1020 owners there’s a load of other new features to enjoy. Some of these include raw DNG support and new oversampling algorithms.
You’ll be notified directly on your Nokia Windows Phone 8 device when the Lumia Black update is available, or you can head to the Phone Update section of the Settings Menu.

Chrome update for Android and iOS adds data save and Translate features
Google is rolling out an update for its Chrome browser app on Android and iOS to make it more efficient on data, and to be able to translate foreign languages within web pages.
Read more »
An increasing number of people use their smartphones as a primary web browsing tool. It’s as many as a fifth of all adults in the US, according to a recent Pew Internet report.
That’s the report Google has cited in its recent Chrome blog post concerning the latest Chrome app update. The leading new feature is the ability to enable a Reduce data usage mode.
When enabled from the options menu, this feature uses data compression and bandwidth management to reduce data usage on your Android or iOS device by up to 50 percent. It also enables safe browsing for protection against dodgy web pages.
The tool provides a handy tracked to see how much bandwidth you’ve save over the past month.
The second new feature relates to the Chrome app for iOS. Now, like the Android app, you can translate foreign web pages within Chrome with the click of a (virtual) button.
Finally, a new feature for Android owners. You can now create direct shortcuts to your favourite websites from the homescreen. What’s more, some websites will open in full screen and as stand-alone apps in the multitasking menu.
Google’s new version of the Chrome app will be rolling out over the coming days on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

Android 4 4 update to bring KitKat to the Google Nexus 7 ‘in the coming weeks’
Following the Nexus 5 unveiling, Google has confirmed that an Android 4.4 update will be rolled out ‘in the coming weeks’ to bring KitKat to Google Nexus 7 and certain Samsung Galaxy S4 users.
Read more »
With the latest confectionary based iteration of the operating system having launched today aboard the newly confirmed Google Nexus 5, the search turn software turn hardware giant has now revealed that an Android 4.4 update will land for a range of favoured devices shortly.
"HTC One Google Play edition devices in the coming weeks">Android 4.4, KitKat, which comes on Nexus 5, will also soon be available on Nexus 4, 7, 10, the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One Google Play edition devices in the coming weeks," the company stated during its official launch event.
While a Samsung Galaxy S4 Android 4.4 update is tipped alongside the HTC One, these refer only to the Google Play sold vanilla Android additions of the phone. Standard S4 and One owners will have a considerable wait on their hands before getting the Android 4.4 update.
A relatively minor update on the now superseded Android 4.3 Jelly Bean OS, Android 4.4 KitKat introduces a range of small improvements and minor features, with the operating system to be more accessible to not only users, but more basic handsets.
"Building a platform that makes mobile phones accessible for everyone has always been at the heart of Android," Googles Senior Vice President of Android, Chrome & Apps Sundar Pichai stated in unveiling the revised operating system.
With Android 4.4 having reducing the system demands on host phones, Pichai revealed that KitKat will “run comfortably” as long as phones have just 512MB of RAM.

HTC One Android 4 4 KitKat update to launch next week
Following much talk, HTC has confirmed that the eagerly awaited HTC One Android 4.4 KitKat update will start being rolled out from next week.
Read more »
While the Taiwanese manufacturer has confirmed that the HTC One KitKat update will be made available for unlocked handset owners in the US within a matter of days, the company has yet to detail when UK residents can expect the software patch.
“HTC One owners, final KitKat software has entered carrier labs for final testing and expect certification next week,” the company announced via its official Twitter feed.
Far from a surprise release, 84 days ago the manufacturer announced that the HTC One Android 4.4 KitKat update would be rolled out within 90 days, a promise that has ensured next week will see the software introduced.
While HTC continues to update its current flagship phone, attention has already turned to the company’s next-generation handset.
Recent HTC One 2 rumours have claimed that the second-generation device will be officially unveiled next month, in the days leading up to MWC 2014.
As well as boasting a further refined metal-hewn body, the HTC One 2, also doing the rounds under the moniker of the HTC M8, will be upgraded to a 5-inch, 1080p Full HD display, Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor and the Android 4.4 KitKat OS as standard.
