Even though there is no official statement from Google on what the new iteration of Android will be, the rumors tell us about a possible Android 4.4.3. On this forthcoming iteration, there are no UI changes expected, instead the performance enhancements are the main change.
According to a newly-leaked change log Google has been working hard to improve its software. Having said that there is no way to know if these changes are true. If they are, they should solve a lot of pesky problems(connection dropout makes me crazy).
Someone may be disappointed since there is no big UI change, but I think that these fixes are worth doing. Google may be holding out on the UI changes for a future iteration of Android. The current one seems to be working just fine and a lot of work has been put into it. Because of that Google now is able to concentrate on improving the performance of its OS.
The people who own Nexus devices will be the first to get the update as usual, with the Nexus 5 and 7 in the front line. Others will have to wait, and older devices(2 years or more) most probably will never see the update.
The complete change log is as follows:
- frequent data connection dropout fix
- mm-qcamera-daemon crash and optimization fixes
- camera focus in regular and HDR modes fixes
- Power Manager display wakelock fix
- multiple Bluetooth fixes
- fix for a random reboot
- app shortcuts sometimes got removed from launcher after update
- USB debugging security fix
- app shortcuts security fix
- Wi-Fi auto-connect fix
- other camera fixes
- MMS, Email/Exchange, Calendar, People/Dialer/Contacts, DSP, IPv6, VPN fixes
- stuck in activation screen fix
- missed call LED fix
- subtitle fixes
- data usage graph fix
- Internet telephony fix
- FCC compliance fix
- miscellaneous fixes
