What will I miss staying on 4.3?

[nerys71]

I honestly don't want to update to 4.4 kitkat. I refuse to acknowledge googles authority to dictate what I can do with my hardware to that level (the not letting me write to the SD card was the last straw)

Google does not seem to get it that the CLOUD SUCKS with horrible data speeds and capped monthly limits with at home and mobile. screw the cloud.

anyway. what will I miss skipping 4.4 and staying on 4.3? can some of the 4.4 updates be integrated into 4.3?

Thanks!

Nothing from 4.4.2 will really be missed. .. But you won't be getting a new phone anytime huh .... They will all have the sd issue

It's fixable and just apps are going to have to change bit until then folder Mount app in play store fixes it

I know. its driving me mad. but that is a line I simply won't permit intrusion. its my property and I won't tolerate someone trying to dictate what I do with my property. KNOX was bad enough but that was not OS level I could bypass knox.

now google is trying to force their nexus junk philosophy via the OS and that is a bad bad sign. these types of actions are why I avoid "apple" icrap like the plague.

U actually don't have a choice ... Apple is worse in every way ... windows phone SUCKS even more .... so at least you can fix what they were doing ...

Hell nah im not updating to kk anytime soon... actually I'm on my second note3 ,first one didnt remove the auto update while on wifi and updated. Same day turned around returned the phone drove to another bestbuy and got the note again with 4.3 and im not upgrading!!! The battery life for me is critical and on 4.3 I get much better results

I miss the green battery icon from 4.3 lol...

From what I've read people love it or hate it or have issues with certain hardware not functioning properly after the update.

Personally, after setting up MJ4 just how I want it I will opt to stay with MJ4 4.3 until I am convinced the KitKat upgrade is absolutely necessary. Why fix what isn't broken? I'd love to try out all the new stuff but will have to wait for a viable downgrade solution from NAB(D) to MJ4.

Thanks to @micmars who provides so much support to the community and gave me enough information to make my decision, while tempting me with the performance, speed and battery life improvements of NAB(D).
