Rumors of an imminent release of the latest Android 4.4.3 mobile operating software is rampant.
Although Google has not announced an official release date for the upcoming 4.4.3 update, which is expected to fix many of the glitches and bugs found on Android 4.4.2, there are reports that a small number of Android users have indeed received the update.
Android Police reports that Android 4.4.3 has been rolled out to one percent of Google users for internal testing. This would mean that it would still be a "number of weeks" before an official release.
The update is known to insiders as KitKat MR2 and is said to be working on Google Nexus devices only – the Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 and Nexus 7 2.
When the new software is ready, it is expected to roll out to Google's Nexus devices first – the Nexus 5 and 7, followed by the HTC One Google Play Edition.
Three dozen bug fixes are expected – improved camera focus, unstable data connections, fix for LED problems, VPN fix, and more.
One particular bug fix will be the 'mm-qcamera-daemon' crash, which caused the Nexus 5 to experience a battery drain issue. Google identified the issue as stemming from the high CPU usage of the 'mm-qcamera-daemon' process.
The Android 4.4.3 update would be the last update before Google is rumored to launch the Android 4.5 Lollipop OS, which is currently in development.
