It would be nice and really useful if someone who is long enough on totally stock T-mobile 4.4.3 could evaluate his user experience with the upgrade. There are so many unconfirmed rumors on issues and malfunctions of 4.4.3 that objective opinion is needed before taking an OTA.
4.4.3 evaluation
- Thread starter piskr
- Start date
Glad to hear that. Issues that are mostly reported for 4.4.3 are battery drain, difficult regarding wifi and gps connection, lag in dialer app, sms issues and sometimes ocassionaly crash. But hopefully Motorola is not affected.
I'm using it since the OTA has been published and I must say that battery life is awesome, way better than on 4.4.2. I had some issues, after couple days after I applied OTA I couldn't enable WiFi AP, got "Error" nothing more. But factory reset helped. Now the only issue I notice is that some time when I exit an application with back button for very short time I see something I had run earlier. I didn't noticed any dialer lag.

SMS problems only happen if you have messaging disabled. It's fixable though (http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/hangouts-sms-crash-solved-t2773828)
Haven't encountered any of those other problems though you called out.

This topic is of great interest to me...
Actually, the main issue I have with 4.4.2 is the horrible battery life...
4.4.2 power consumption seems to be 50-75% higher than on 4.2.2, with equivalent usage...
I've also noticed the 'back' issue that displays for a second another app...
Have you activated ART ?

No. I'm on dalvik, rooted and gravitybox. I don't use any battery saving apps, GPS on device only, location reporting off, WiFi scanning off. I easily get 2 days of battery life which was almost impossible on 4.4.2.

It's your usage/config, not 4.4.2
I get amazing battery life on 4.4.2 stock ROM/Kernel.
Either 30+ hours standby with 6.5hour screen on time (sometimes 7 hours) or 28+ hours and 5 hours+ screen time with a crapload of syncs running.
my syncs:
Hotmail Push
Gmail Push
Facebook Messenger
Viber
Skype
BBM
Telegram
Tapatalk
Google Now
Contacts
Keep
Tinder
Dropbox
Obviously because of all these syncs I have a lot of wakelocks and my Android OS usage is high but I still get 5 hours screen on time and 24+ hours standby easily.

I think the low light camera performance is greatly improved and the battery life is a little better. I leave gps, wifi, and bluetooth on, google location services off, use Assist at home for hands-free call answering and text reading/responding and charge the phone about every other day. My usage is generally light to moderate.
So, here's my question: with all that, do you have any intentions of moving to 4.4.3 when it's available for your variant from Rogers? Planning to do some testing up front (with a solid backup of your current system, of course) and see if it's worth keeping for a longer period of time, or have you already decided to just skip it and stick with your 4.4.2 heavily debloated version?

I'll try it once it's available for Rogers, absolutely.
With Titanium backup it only takes me 15-20 minutes from start to finish to fully set up a ROM so it's no big deal.
Unfortunately the Moto X is not on Roger's priority list so it may take a while. They discontinued it as sales were sub-par.
Hello, thanks for your feedback...
Please, don't take this message the wrong way. English is my second language, so I'd like to clear that out, I don't want to sound aggresive at all.
But I had the MotoX running JB for about 6 months before upgrading to kitkat...
I had a very solid idea of an average consumption, which was about 20 hours of mix usage, and 2 hours of screen usage...
That would leave me with about half battery left... I'd use wifi only at home...
That was pretty consistant, I'd only charge the phone at the office, and then I would not need to plug it until the next day...
Since I upgraded to kitkat 4.4.2, I cannot get those numbers anymore... Usage is the same...
So when I say that to me kitkat is affecting my battery life, it's because I see that behaviour...
It's not something that I feel, o think... When you see about 50% battery left with only 1 hour of screen time, it's significant would not you say?...
After installing the OTA, I did a Hard Reset because I thougth something went wrong...
But nothing changed...
That's why I'm expecting this fix...
I've also noticed that maybe kk is more sensitive for the quality of the signal the phone receives...
Cheers...
And I edit the message, because I forgot to mention: phone tends to get warmer than on JB...

Ok, I'll PM you and assist with resolving the battery life issues.
[edit] I sent the PM but when I go to sent PM's it shows 0 so I am not sure if XDA is having problems with PM. If you have not received anything just reply here and I will resend.

How long does your x take to clear cache partition from stock recovery?
Mine takes a long time, a minute or more... Then reboots...
