If you are a smartphone user, you will likely be happy to know that the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update is rolling out to the masses. While the update brings plenty of improvements, it also has its share of bugs. There are some reported issues that users should be aware of, including a lack of support for SD cards.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Android KitKat supports an innovative new gesture that allows you to reveal a glimpse of the system UI. You can do this by swiping your device from left to right. The same gesture can also allow you to add widgets like Gmail or Google Keep. In order to take advantage of these features, you will need to enable them.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Android 4.4.2 KitKat update changes the permissions for third-party applications that run on your device. While these changes are in the name of security, they can create some thorny problems for some users. For example, third-party applications no longer have to write access to external SD cards. This change is one of the most notable changes to this version of Android.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another change is the addition of a “Developer Mode.” This is a new feature that you may want to turn on. It can help speed up animations and background processes and can be found in the Settings menu. The Developer Mode also lets you select the runtime, which isn’t installed by default. This feature is used to provide ongoing performance tuning. It takes some time to get up and running, so it’s best to wait until the runtime has been properly configured.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the best features in the Android 4.4 update is the Storage Access Framework, which lets you pull content from multiple applications and cloud storage accounts. Its most notable feat is the ability to pull up data from different apps and connect them in a single menu. This is a great improvement over the Jelly Bean version, which only allowed users to view content from a handful of apps.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another cool feature of Android 4.4 is the interactive animation that you can use to navigate through the system. This feature isn’t available by default but can be found by swiping the screen from left to right. When you do, you will see a pop-up that will let you know the function of the smallest of the many possible commands. You can then tap to learn more.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Android 4.4.2 KitKat release has been available for quite some time, and even with its bugs and reported issues, it continues to hold a steady place in the Android landscape. It’s a good idea to check with the development community for any updates or bug fixes. You should also make sure to upgrade your apps to the latest version, as well as to the version that’s being supported on your device.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can get all of the information about your phone’s processing speed and app usage in the Process Stats section of the Developer Menu. These include the number of active apps, the amount of time they are currently running, and the average processing time of each one.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
