If you have any issues with latest update 4.4.4 write them here.

My issue: Extreme huge battery drain (In 5 hours off-screen from 100% to 14%) (FIXED)

On the other hand, my battery has been never better. I have superb battery life on 4.4.4

Uhm... We aren't psychics or anything, so we'll need A LOT more details.

The speaker volume seems to be too low! Can barely hear it. Was on the GPe ROM before this, and I am certain it was louder.
Any hacks to boost the volume without distorting the sound or blowing up the speaker?

Edit - Boosted the speaker volume to 98 in mixer_paths.xml, and now I can at least hear it!

I'm running 4.4.4 GPe, and I just checked the loudness of my speaker by using a dB meter app on my Desire HD, and I'm not complaining at all.

Again, it seems like one group of Ultra owners have a loud and good speaker (like I do), and a second group who has a lower quality speaker. This isn't the first time this topic is up around here.

Indeed. That was with my DHD straight next to my Ultra, and this was one of the few times where I've pushed the volume to max. I usually have the ringer volume on 60-80% and I hear it easily when it rings.

This is stock 4.4.4 GPe without any volume mods or tweaks. xLOUD is enabled and that's it.

Ther is nothing stopping you flashing back down to 4.4.3 or 4.4.2 if the bugs are too much

I know this is an issues thread but have to say - I have no issues what so ever..

I did have "exchange services stopped" issues and sony email app issues that couldn't be solved by clearing cache/data.. but I fixed those (really well, I grabbed exchange bypass patched versions and now have full Hotmail email, contacts, calendar etc sync'ing)

sound is very good for me after previously having to hack away at xmls to get decent volume output.

all in all very happy with the update noticed slightly less free ram on 108 but at the risk of being flamed "unused ram is wasted ram" lol

Google Now

Until I got the update I was a avid user of Google Now, but after the update it says "Google Now is not available in your country". Don't know if anyone else is experiencing this.

I confirm the low speaker volume issue, I compared to another Z Ultra that is running 4.4.2 compared to my 4.4.4 and my volume was about 25% lower than the other phone

Any way to resolve this?
