dont think you did it right dude

well, it said "to update, reset your device"

it loaded CWM and went through a few prompts then reset itself.

I thought OTA doesn't work properly with custom recovery installed.

I'm now on Cataclysm 4.4.2 with faux 005m.

yep I am as well

Why install a custom recovery when using stock anyway? Just changing the kernel? If that's the case, you should be installing rom updates manually even if it's stock

Not sure about CWM, but with TWRP the OTA updates still work.
I sideloaded to update from 4.4 to 4.4.1 then to 4.4.2 while on stock rom + custom recovery. The only time an OTA update will fail is when you remove an app from /system/app or if you add a file to /system/app. Even if you're rooted, an OTA will still work (you'll have to re-root after).

In fact, 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 update didn't touch kernel so it went through even though I was on franco kernel for that update.

Hmm experiencing higher than normal battery drain under 4.4.2. Just rebooted and it seems ok now. Hope it's just a momentary glitch.

there is quite an actual battery improvement during idling for the nexus 4 in 4.4.2

Apparently a lot of people have been noticing that as well. Mine has been fine until tonight when my gmail was keeping my phone awake for 1.5 hours for no reason until I restarted. Glitch as well hopefully.

For those who have had previous Nexus devices, would you say the N5 has about the same number of minor little issues as previous Nexus devices? Or more? or less?

More..a lot more. My Gnex was flawless for the longest time.

I had the last few Nexus models, and this one is the most solid of all for me. The only issue I have is the crappy GPS

Everything's been great on my replacement Nexus 5. Definitely the best Nexus I've used. Way better than the Galaxy Nexus (performance) and blows away the battery life of the Nexus 4 (my biggest complaint with it). Never had any real problems with Nexus devices in general.

i experienced what i felt was high battery drain on 4.4.1 but after 4.4.2 its been great im at 6% battery life with 2days12hrs and i've been gaming on it mostly

truth. I loaded up 4.4.2 last night. Unplugged at 530am, was at 50percent at 5pm... charged up for half hour on the juice pack on the way out to craft beer..

come home..its at 25percent
but this is probably with some streaming and hockeypool research
total SOT today 4h20m

not that great

lol good thing im still on 4.4.1

k, maybe i'll stay on 4.4 until that battery drain is fixed.

just updated to 4.4.2 this morning.... haven't noticed any battery drain....

nexus 4? GTFO

My only complaint is the autofocus time on it... Haven't seen what it's like with 4.4.2 though.

I'm on 4.4.2 with no battery issues and camera is finally the way it should have been out of the box. Running stock ROM not rooted.

its not really a battery issue for the drain

it just runs out faster

Got the update as well..app drawer lag seems to be mostly fixed. Camera seems smoother as well.

I never got 4.4.1 so what a change for the cam.

After focus shutter is basically instant.

I don't think 4.4.1 was pushed OTA? No one I know got it without sideloading.
