My nexus wifi only was bought from Grays, like many others on this site I suppose.
Was prompted that software update Kitkat downloaded and ready to install. Afraid to update due to issues I had with 4.3 before. Anything significant change, or any issues encountered after updating to Kitkat?
Just upgraded mine.
No issue so far.
Upgraded mine, No problems so far. If anything it seems to have improved the speed, things seem a bit snappier.
With the update comes the new launcher? Or is it N5 exclusive only?
It isn't officially included in the update, but you can sideload the APK to enable it on any device running 4.1+. I think the majority of the launcher was actually included in the recent Google Search app update.
If you successfully upgraded to 4.3, the risk of bricking going to 4.4 is low.
Mine bricked on the 4.3 update, but I strongly suspect it's because it had been flashed with the 3G variant ROM image in the factory.
I recovered it myself and interestingly mine still doesn't recognise that 4.4 is available.
Mine bricked on 4.3, but updated to 4.4 without any dramas
Thanks for the feedback. Updated OTA and aside from the color change, I notice less heating while playing Tapped Out.
Just grab the Nexus Root Toolkit, if anything goes wrong, you can flash back to 4.3. I did this for a friend of mine who got his device bricked.
