Google Android 4.4.2 has been available to customers for several months now, though many Android users are still running an older version of the operating system. Still, that is not stopping Google from bringing forth Android 4.4.3, the newest update that only seems to add improvements and bug fixes.
Based on a newly leaked information, Android 4.4.3 was spotted running on a Nexus 5 device, though it is not certain when Google will roll out the new update to users. We're guessing since Google I/O is just around the corner, it might be a while before Android 4.4.3 becomes the next must have version of the OS; or Google might choose to launch it before I/O in order to focus on a newer version of Android instead of talking about improvements and bug fixes.
The standout bug fix here would have to be camera focus fix. Many Nexus 5 users have reported problems with this, though it is taking Google a long time to get the issue under control. Furthermore, we realized the list of fixes includes a fix for frequent data dropping, another issue plaguing Nexus 5 users.
List of Android 4.4.3 fixes and improvements:
- frequent data connection dropout fix
- mm-qcamera-daemon crash and optimization fixes
- camera focus in regular and HDR modes fixes
- Power Manager display wakelock fix
- multiple Bluetooth fixes
- fix for a random reboot
- app shortcuts sometimes got removed from launcher after update
- USB debugging security fix
- app shortcuts security fix
- Wi-Fi auto-connect fix
- other camera fixes
- MMS, Email/Exchange, Calendar, People/Dialer/Contacts, DSP, IPv6, VPN fixes
- stuck in activation screen fix
- missed call LED fix
- subtitle fixes
- data usage graph fix
- Internet telephony fix
- FCC compliance fix
- miscellaneous fixes
Bear in mind that everything here could change before release and that if Android 4.4.3 is even real. It is possible Google might roll over these fixes into a full feature version of Android, but that might be down to how important these fixes and improvements are.
When should you expect Google I/O to begin?
The developer focused conference will run from June 25 to 26 in San Francisco.
