      Got the update here in da #Philippines around 8:20pm. All you guys have to do is clear data for Google Services Framework and then check for updates. If its still not updating just repeat the process. Had to do it about 3 times then voila! Kitkat goodness without the transparent bars... :-(

                Kaaju, 22 Nov 2013For those who didn't get the update yet, even after trying ... moreThis method works. Need to do exactly what he says.. After you clear and disable, you need to go back first to settings then you enable it again then try to check. Thanks. #fro Philippines

                  The update launched immediately in morning when I switched on my mobile phone (using 3g connection). However, you wouldnt be able to download it via 3g. You wuld require a wifi connection. So what u need to do is switch off yur mobile data connection, connect yoru device on wifi & then hit "back button" on the system update screen. Then, click "Check again" button while ensuring that the wifi connection is now established & running. You should immediately see the movement in the download bar.

                  Downloaded Kitkat in morning. No translucent bar but this functionality is built in so a nova launcher beta Installation will bring you that function.

                  Performance wise, nothing much seems to have changed since Jellybean 4.3 but too early to call. Maybe some expert tech guys could update us on that.

                    Anonymous, 22 Nov 2013o help, my nexus is 1 month old only...how much more do i n... moreIt doesn't matter how old you nexus 4 is, the update just started to roll out a couple of days ago. So why are you complaining. Its just been 2 days since the release if kitkat on nexus 4, stop whining and either wait for the update like everyone else or clear google services framework at your own risk.

                                    The 4.4 update is very similar to 4.3. Only differences are icons, lock screen, and few wallpapers. There are no features as that of nexus 5 no OK Google from home screen and home screen launchers.
