Hopefully that screen shot uploaded correctly. Does anyone else have an image like this when using Streetview in Maps? This is another bit of 4.2 weirdness on my Venue 8.
I felt it need a good bug list. I have read of others getting the KitKat update and the tablets bricking. I have a feeling the list will get longer in the next 24 hours as more people update.
i feel you, unfortunately there is not much we can do about it now... fortunately I tried rebooting it like a million times and the freezing has stopped. I just noticed that the new update messes around with your apps. i.e. VLC suddenly stopped playing videos due to some hardware issue created by the new update. on the other hand, since the SD card is read only, the torrents stopped working as well... after experimenting for a long time i managed to download torrents on the tabs memory using apps from the playstore wont work. Hope we get another update soon!
I think that they are experiencing the new lame "security" feature where apps can not longer full write access to the card unless they belong to a specific group, I think it is media_rw.
There are work arounds for that, but unfortunately I am in the "No external SD at all" category. With 4.4 the external is not recognized at all no matter which microsd I try. If I revert back to 4.2 it works fine.
I'd recommend that anybody experiencing excessive glitchyness with the kitkat update do a factory data reset.
Just start with a clean install and reload your apps. Also make sure your date, time and time zone are correct. I would think that should clear up any possible compatability issues with apps etc. If you are still having problems after the reset it is more likely caused by the update.
