Spoiler (Highlight to read)
To be honest most people on this or other Sony / mobile forums are here for answers with problems with their devices, and of course 4.4.2 being a version number jump it is having its issues. I don't think anyone can actually tell you whether to install or not; the thing is to remember is that is there is more people NOT on this forum who are not having issues with 4.4.2. But you'll not hear from them of course. Thing is - if you're on 4.2 or 4.3 and its working fine for you - why upgrade?
Just my little opinion of course. Probably doesn't help

On two of my PCs I received a notice that Firefox has a critical update that should be installed NOW. It takes me into running a program "updater.exe" and pops a firefox window "Software Update" which says it's "Downloading Firefox" and the green bar runs across the window and the text ":Connecting to the update server" appears under the moving bar. That's about all that it does forever. No connect, no update, just the bar going across the window. If it was on ONE of my PCs, I'd think that the PC has a problem. The same results on TWO PCs, one Vista and one XP, makes me think there is some other issue at hand... Please help.
See:

Software updates fail to install so does office for mac 2011
When I check for software updates it says I have 5:
MacBook Pro EFI Firware Update v 2.3
Itunes v 10.5.1
Digital Camera Raw Compatability Update v 3.9
Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 6 v 6.0
MacBook Pro SMC Firware Update v 1.5
When I try to install these items it seems to work fine. It downloads them and prompts me to restart. But when I do, it fails to install any of them ( I have also tried them all one at a time to make sure it's not just one of them messing it up). Then my computer freezes.
ANY HELP PLEASE??
Also.. I recently downloaded Microsoft for Mac Home and Student 2011. This downloads fine but when i try to install it gets to the end and says that it encountered a problem. Things I've found online and support from both microsoft and apple have told me do not work. I created another account and tried to open office from my share drive--NOPE. I disabled my antivirus--NOPE. I rebooted in safe mode--NOPE. i fixed my permissions--NOPE. I downloaded the trail version which is supposed to be "error free"--NOPE
ANY HELP PLEASE??
Thank youThe EFI update should be installed all by itself.
The directions are a bit wacky, and what happens is a bit wacky. If you get that one in, the rest may unclog. -
I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract. Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy. I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s and keep my same plan but switch to the Edge program. Is this possible? I don't think I should have to pay an early termination fee or anything like that since my phone has become almost unusable. I know under normal circumstances you have to wait 2 yrs to upgrade but due to the update and the poor service I'm now getting I hope Verizon can make an exception. Thank you.
How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

HP Slate 7 Voice Tab overheat after kitkat update
Hi,
I was using my Slate 7 voide tab for last around 8 months without any major issue. Minor issues like touch becomes very sluggish after switching on 3G was normal.
Yesterday kitkat update got installed on my tab and than nightmare starts. First "clean master" app is showing alert periodically that CPU is overheating (80 degree celsius). Today tab got hanged while some important call was coming. I was able to see people calling but touch was not responding. Tried to hard boot, but again some process error came on screen and whole tab was in hanged state for an hour. I can only see people calling and calling.
When battery got drained, I restarted it but CPU temperature is always above 80 degree celsius and I believe its obviously much above normal. I never got these problems with Jelly Beans.
Its really very frustrating to know why HP released an update which is full of bugs!!!Hey @Abhinandank ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're experiencing issues with heat after updating to KitKat on your Slate 7 VoiceTab.
Before troubleshooting any heat issue, remove the tablet from the case if you are using one. Test the tablet without the case and see if the issue persists.
You can also try apps like Android Task Manager that will sweep running processes and boost memory to reduce load on your tablet.
Regarding the touchscreen:
Clear all cache on the tablet: Settings > Storage > Cached Data. You should have the option to erase all the cached data here.
Hard reset: While the tablet is on, press and hold the power button for 8+ seconds to force shut down. Turn the tablet back on and see if that helps.
Factory reset: Make sure you backup any important files or information first. Settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset.
If none of that works, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the following link to get the support number for your region: Phone Assist Worldwide.
Thanks!

Droid Razr M: KitKat update problems
Hi there, I have a few questions/problems with my Droid Razr M since the KitKat update was pushed to my device a few days ago.
1. I was on vacation in Europe (Austria/Hungary/Croatia) when the update was delivered to my device. I think the download happened in Austria or Hungary. Now I appear to have a non-US version of the update on my phone. For example, Airplane Mode is called "Aeroplane Mode", and so on. Do I have the correct version of the update? I'd like the version applicable to US phones. Can I re-download it somehow, now that I'm back in the US, and correct this?
2. Bluetooth no longer pairs with my BMW X1. My phone does not even see the car in available devices.
3. WiFi does not work with Bluetooth enabled. My phone will recognize my home/work networks, but will only say "saved", and not connect. I am reading that this seems to be a known issue. I use Bluetooth for my Fitbit and my car (referenced above). I cannot just go to 5G because my work WiFi does not have a 5G option (my home network does have the 5G option). I also would like to be able to use WiFi in public places like I did before the update.
Please let me know how to address these three issues. Thanks!I had some hiccups when I got the upgrade to my LG G2. I know others have had problems with their KK updates, on Samsungs and even HTC.
I believe the KK upgrade, while in the ideal should leave the phone running perfectly under the new operating system will potentially fail because of the variation in how people use their devices and what they've downloaded, and the fact that some memory isn't initialized properly when the new OS loads onto the device. This is true regardless of phone manufacturer, OS upgrade, and even carrier. I think this is a reality with Android.
I think the only option is to perform what is called a "Factory Data Reset". But first you should backup any important photos, music, or videos, or other downloaded files. You should also jot down where you've placed icons, and even the settings for things like mail (incoming and outgoing server).
After an FDR, you'll have to do some work to get your device back running to a state you are comfortable and familiar with. In my experience, doing maybe 10updates over the years on 4 Android phones, about 40% of the time I didn't need to do an FDR. 60% of the time I did.
It is also possible there are some bugs in the new software load, but a good many of these odd behaviors, across a range of devices (LG, Samsung, Motorola, HTC) occur because people did not perform an FDR following the update.

Droid Razr M Battery after KitKat Update
I recently updated my Droid Razr M with the KitKat update when prompted. Battery life went from not needing to be charged for well over a day, to draining from 100% before the work day ended with light use.
I contacted Verizon and humored them and did the "battery trouble shooting" things with them, even though it appears to be a well known issue. When the troubleshooting had no effect after a few days, we did a factory reset, which also didn't help. I ended up getting a new phone because I had extended warranty coverage.
When I got the new phone, the battery was a dream, just like old times, after 2 days the system prompted me to do the KitKat update, which I did against my better judgement.
Meanwhile my husband also did the KitKat update on his Droid Razr M and started experiencing virtually the same battery problems. Now both of our batteries drain about 50% faster than they did before the update.
My question is, if this is a known issue with Verizon, why bother treating it like user error? It also seems like to "resolve the battery problem" (which they don't acknowledge is a direct product of the update) they ask users to basically not use their phone normally, but limit their usage to get more battery life, which isn't a solution at all. Is there an actual solution related the the problem (the KitKat update) that I can use to extend battery life on my phone? Or should we both call and request replacement phones since the malfunction is not due to any sort of user error?Richard-in-Brooklyn
I'm sorry to hear about the sudden trouble with your battery on the Razr M! Let's check into our options to resolve this. Were any new applications added to the phone recently? Does this continue if you place the device into Safe Mode for 24 hours? Here's how: http://vz.to/LZzdS9

Don't know what to do or who to ask??? GPS stopped working after 4.4.2 Kitkat update.
Don't know what to do or who to ask??? GPS stopped working after 4.4.2 Kitkat update.
I have been on the phone multiple times with Verizon, visited multiple stores and still getting different answers with every different person I talk to...
Since the 4.4.2 update, my phone and my wife's phone (14 or 15 month old SIII's) that worked perfect a couple weeks ago no longer know where they are 95% percent of the time... Location cannot be found and GPS satellites cannot be seen (sometimes after searching for 10 - 20 minutes they will lock on).
And it's not just Google maps, it is all apps that need location (ie. gps status and toolbox, weather channel, etc...)
Google maps has us in the right location 50% of the time but i think that has more to do with 4g and wifi (although i always know the weather and traffic conditions in the next town over now).
Navigation will set up fine in Google maps until you actual move the car. Then it updates location every couple minutes, but usually a couple streets over from where I actually am. Maybe 1 out of every four or five times I try it, it will start working about 15 minutes after I started it (then work flawlessly, so it can actually work sometimes). But if you end the process and start over to see if it really "works", back to square one with it not knowing its location all over again...
I obviously did all the normal trouble shooting fixes with the battery and sim card removals and even did a "recommended factory data reset" on my phone with no luck. After this didn't work I stopped by another verizon store yesterday that has "tech services" that I was told could run some sort of diagnostics on my phone. After I showed the tech all the screen shots i have taken of what was happening while driving, he said it is a software problem and a very common one at that.
I was told I should either buy new phones or switch to the edge program where i can get a new phones. These don't seem like very fair solutions to me considering before the 4.4.2 update our phones worked perfect and they are both in almost perfect condition after 14 or 15 months...
Will there be a fix to this??? Is it a Samsung problem??? Should I be contacting them???If it is 3GS, you can update it to iOS 5 and it will work.

Droid Razr M Self Resetting After KitKat Update
My Razr M has been trying unsuccessfully to download the kitkat update since it became available. First I thought it was a memory space issue, but after making room it would still fail during the install process. My phone has had increasing problems every time it tries again to install the update, mostly self resetting more & more frequently. It has now gotten to the point that it freezes when trying to reset and I cannot get my phone to turn on all the way. Please help!!
Hello evrangl,
I'm glad to see that you are exciting to experience the new update for your Droid Razr M. With so many new features, you're sure to re-fall in love with your device. May I ask is your personal info backed up on either your Gmail account or Verizon cloud? If so, and you know your username and password, then I would suggest performing a factory reset on the device, try to install the update without your info on the Razr M, and re-apply your info if the update is successful. The update should also resolve the issue that you are experiencing with your device. Here's a link with the steps to a factory reset. http://vz.to/1oKtYXT. If more assistance is needed then feel free to respond for additional assistance.
Thank you...

Phone charged notification with Kitkat update
Since my Kitkat update on Saturday my phone plays an annoying ring tone (which I'm not even using for any other notifications) when my battery achieves 100% charge. It even comes through in blocking mode (and woke me up last night). I've done a google search and it looks like this can't be disabled without rooting? I can't root my phone (use for work) so need another solution. Tried a battery notification app and disabled sound but it didn't work.
cdpS4,
Thank you so much for the further info. I have the same device and after reviewing the phone in full details I would like to look at one setting on the device. Go to Settings, More, if there is an option for Developer Options tap on that, if there is a check mark in the Stay Awake box, please remove that check mark from the box. Then retest the device to see if those alerts will come in when the battery if full.
If you don't have the Developer Options follow these steps:
Settings
More
About Phone
Tap on Build Number until the screen says "Developer mode is turned on"
Once that is on go back to Home screen
Back to Settings,
More
and you should now see Developer Options. Then complete the steps listed above.
Please keep me posted.

Why did the phone icon on my home screen become useless after the KitKat update?
I received the KitKat update on my DROID Razr Maxx HD 2 days ago. Now when I click on my phone icon from my home page, the message "App not installed" displays. Now, in order to make a phone call, I have to open all my apps and scroll to "phone icon". How do I reinstall an app that is obviously still there. Apparently the update disconnected the link to the app?
Can't tell you why, but you should be able to fix by simply replacing the shortcut.
1) remove the current shortcut on the home screen by holding the shortcut and dragging it to the "X remove" option
2) go into your app list and find the phone link there, hold it and drag it back to your home screen -
I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8. I want to update to 10.7 or later so I can run iTunes 11 with my new iphone 5C. What update should I download?
If you do not know whether your iMac has a PowerPC or Intel processor, do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu. You will get this:
If the line by my second highlight arrow includes the word "PowerPC" as in the image, you can upgrade no higher. If it says, "intel," you can--as Niel indicates--update to at least 10.6.8 and possible higher. -
My Android Galaxy S5 has locked up and gone into endless loading while trying to update to the Kitkat update. I have set it back to factory settings and tried again and it has locked up again. My phone no longer works. What else can I do?
Oh goodness,SLEEPER888. We wish you didn't have this problem while trying to complete this update.You have done quite a bit of troubleshooting on your own. If the phone update does not take, we would need to replace it with the warranty. Is it still locked up?

Ever since the kitkat update to Android the wi-fi no longer autoconnects to the home network and when it is manually forced to it says it is connected but the internet does not work. Tried soft-boots and deleting and reinstalling wi-fi connects and nothing helps. Our data usage is skyrocketing since that is the only way the phone can connect to the internet now. Previous to the update there were no issues with wi-fi connectivity. Any assistance would be much appreciated as verizon has not been very helpful
