Did you do a full wipe or just install over KK and keep all your apps/data?

Thats just flat out not true.

MMS doesn't seem to be working particularly well. I can send, but only if I'm not on Wi-Fi. Can't seem to receive at all. SMS works fine.
Full wipe, you're bound to run into tons of issues if you don't do that with something like this.

has calmed down a bit.
Thanks for the reply. I did a tech chat with HTC, they had me boot to safe mode and some other steps and now it's working! I'm glad I didn't have to turn it in because I'm very happy with the phone otherwise. Battery life is incredible.

Thank you for the heads up. Not worth it then.
Except the one you linked to is from an ebay shop which even states it has the manufacturers warranty on it.

Technically anything you buy from eBay voids the manufacturer's warranty, most explicitly state you need a sales receipt from an authorized reseller to claim warranty and eBay is never an authorized reseller.
Dianne Hackborn wrote a post about this on G+. She lists some ways you can test the new behaviour that (presumably) actually work. I guess the thing I suggested didn't because Chrome.

You can now both send and receive MMS? I still can't seem to receive them. I get the message that there's an MMS to download, but then it never actually downloads.

Yes, under sonar and gesture you can choose to hide it.
Installed Android L on my Nexus5, feels really good, but had to go back to KK because wifi did not keep settings (i use static ip instead of dhcp) and everytime i rebooted phone had to put manually tmy ip settings (not the psw), weird bug.
I also found some other minor bugs, google play music did not download music over wifi (maybe related to the previous bug), so it was almost useless since i use it quite a bit and would kill my data plan. ALso Google docs and sheets didn't install from play store, error 212 all the time.
Plus known issues with twitter app and dropbox/carousel. Didn't test further since these issues where too much for everyday use for me.
Can't wait for a new version that fixes all those issues, or final release

Yeah, there seems to be some issues with apps actually knowing there's a Wi-Fi connection. I ran into the same thing with Play Music, and solved it by simply unchecking "only download on Wi-Fi" (or whatever the setting is called). That made it start downloading right away, without actually having to deactivate Wi-Fi.

Angonek ow whether future developer builds will be ota or will have to manually flash? Just thinking if I can be bothered to flash every time...

Another new thing: Bluetooth volume is now properly synced between the phone and the BT device. Meaning that if I change the volume on my BT headset (a Sony Ericsson MW600 in my case) the BT volume on the phone is adjusted accordingly, and vice versa. Before they were separate, but now you only have one shared volume level to worry about.
Can't hurt, as long as you don't mind wiping all data from your phone (you HAVE TO do a clean flash, or you will run into issues - of course, there's nothing stopping you from backing up important stuff first). It's just as easy to go back to KK if necessary.

I'm on 10.3.1, which shows as the latest version. Where are you getting 11 from? Under gesture and sonar there is an option that says entry location when you scroll down and you want to change it to hide.
Dolphin 11 has been out since April. It is terrible though, don't update. I am reverting back once again.

Are you on mini? Don't use mini. On beta? Otherwise, I don't see 11 on the play store for the regular dolphin version.

The android L keyboard is amazing holy crap

Lol, regardless, you don't want Dolphin 11 anyway! It is terrible. Stick to 10, I know I am.
Using random keyboards seems like a bad idea to me.
It probably is a bad idea but I haven't entered any personal stuff yet. It works so well though.

Well that sucks that they made it worse. It's the best browser for me. My phone doesn't get hot using it and battery use is much better than other browsers. I just turned off auto updates so I won't get it.
yup, too bad it doesn 't support swiping in many languages, just like standard Google kb
As for flashlight, i use this widget

I just use Power Toggles
Right now I just have the single flashlight toggle on my widget haha. Upside is there are a ton of themes.

It's exactly the same as the KK keyboard as far as I can tell, only with a fresh coat of paint. But it is a good keyboard, yes.
What languages are those? Works fine in Swedish, at least.
Wow, the L keyboard skin is pretty nice.
In other news, I bought a iPod Touch yesterday. I haven't had an iDevice in yeaaaaaars. It's good, but small as fuck. How do people use these things? I don't understand the fuss over Apple. But hey, I like having a dedicated music player. My iPod classic from 2008 is basically in hospice right now. I had to replace it.
Oh, and sometime next week, hopefully, I'm ditching my Galaxy S4 and getting a Nexus 5 in preparation for L. Can't wait for that. I'm going back to the stock ROM on my Nexus 7. That too will hop on L when the time comes.

Why would you get rid of your S4? You can install google edition ROM and run L too
I know, but I'd rather get it via OTA straight from Google and not have to wait for someone in the community to deliver it instead. I've used different CM ROMs over the years in order to emulate that pure Android experience. Now, I figured I'll just get the real thing and call it a day. I'm tired of jumping from ROM to ROM and dealing with nightlies. Now I only install milestone and stable releases and even that is a pain. I don't mind downloading updates for kernels or radios though. That I'll still do.

The google edition ROM comes straight from Samsung. Its not a nightly and often times comes a few days to a week after the official release for Nexus devices. I've been using it on my S4. At this point it makes more sense to at least wait until Fall and see if there is a Nexus 6 if that is the route you want to go. A N5 is not a worthy upgrade from the s4.
It's not outrageously ugly like the older stock keyboard, so it's a 1000% improvement.

Gonna return this One M8. Not a big fan. Huge drop from the M7.
The only worse thing that I thought of was the design..
Everything else is an improvement...
