Apparently, there's a new radio too. EXCITE.
Mmmm...
Yup, sideloading now and I saw the "patching radio"message during the adb process. Going through the "Optimizing app x of x" screen right now. So far so good.

Anyone here have trouble with sms? I can be in an sms conversation and all of a sudden it'll stop sending the messages (I get the bouncing dots) and then it will tell me there's no service available. I usually have to reboot the phone. I've seen other people report the same issue across different carriers all over the world, but I'm not sure how wide spread it is.
You'll get a notification, you can also manually check in settings.
Updating manually involves command line stuff, you may not want to go there just yet.

4.4.1 flashed, lets see how it performs tomorrow.
Louder speaker will stop me having to put it in a bowl when I'm listening in the bathroom.

No ota update here yet.
I have unlocked bootloader. Will that cause issue with update?

Yes, no problems. The camera is much faster now.
Yeah, I'm nowhere near comfortable enough with Android just yet to start messing about with command lines. I hope the OTA update is released before Saturday so I can update ready for London.
Agreed, had to step out just after I updated, but everything seems better. Camera is quicker, speaker is louder. Tried to install Whatsapp again (on ART) cause I heard ART had some stringent policies for installing some apps and they would relax it in a future update, but still couldn't install Whatsapp.
All in all after like 1 hour of playing around I like what I see. I'll give it a better test this weekend.
I had so much trouble removing the plastic on my screen that I almost came to the conclusion that there is no plastic and I was just imagining it and that, for some reason, LG wanted to keep that logo on the screen. In the end, I managed to remove it by peeling off the plastic around the side and using the sticky side of it to life the screen protector.
I picked at the top right punched part thingie with my finger nails.
I was so afraid I was going to scratch it. That feel is almost as bad as socketing in a new CPU.
EDIT: I don't know how to do things without a "Menu" button, it's fucking me up. I guess this is what being old feels like.

Heh, I haven't taken it off till now, been using the phone for 6 weeks now.
I do the hope the camera software gets optimised, I was attending a xmas party last night and couldn't get any decent pictures with the flash, had to switch to HDR.
been running standard 4.4 on my N5, but starting with 4.4.1 i want to run rooted since i've been learning a lot about android in the meantime and there's some apps I want to try that require root.
what's the best way for me to start? I guess wait for 4.4.1 to get rooted? does it take long for that to happen?

It's super easy with CF Auto Root - warning, this will wipe your phone if you have not unlocked the bootloader.

Thinks his PR is better than yours.
Man, this update really did a number! The camera is so much better now, and the speaker boost is nice too. Everything just seems to have a bit more pep to it.
I also keep HDR+ on all the time on the camera app, so THANKS Google for adding zoom functionality while using HDR+! That was a let down when I couldn't zoom before.
Now all you need to do is fix that clunky camera UI and it'll be perfect.

Is it worth rooting my Nexus 5 once I get it? I'll be new to the Android scene, so I don't know the benefits of it since I'm coming from an iPhone 4.
If so, anything I should be worried about?

i see the nexus 5 link on there, but is it already up-to-date for 4.4.1? it doesn't seem to indicate things like that

The speaker isn't louder, they just stopped compressing the output so much. Someone did some tests on XDA.
It appears they compressed the ever living crap out of the speaker output.
Dynamic range has gone down significantly. Which means, the loudest sounds are still loud, but the quiet sounds are much louder. Which makes it appear louder than it was before.
Old:
New:
Nope, I didn't want to wait for them, so I side loaded it myself.

so AnandTech and GSMArena agree that the battery life is good but not awesome?
no, just make sure you have the android SDK installed on your pc: http://www.droid-life.com/2013/02/1...date-a-nexus-without-root-or-custom-recovery/
It doesn't appear they changed enough to make the old one stop working. I just used it to re root after installing the update and everything seems good.
I'll do this when I get home. Thanks!

Nova Prime has been good to me since the N4.. I've tried Stock, Aviate and Themer and I don't see myself switching any time soon.
