Google has released a series of Android updates for the past few months including the Andorid 4.4, Android 4.4.1 and the Android 4.4.2. However, despite the multitude of updates, many users still complained about problems with their Android devices.

These include the Nexus 4, first and second generation Nexus 7, Nexus 5 and the Nexus 10. Following roll out to the Nexus line, the Google Play Edition devices like Sony Xperia Z, Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One should follow suit.
