First Android 4.4.3 Details Leaked - Will Bring Numerous Bug Fixes

From past several weeks, word of an upcoming Android 4.4.3 release started spreading around, for the most part based on sightings of new build numbers in server logs and bug reports, along with this tip by @LlabTooFeR. Of course, with so many 4.4.3 mentions, it's no surprise that these are actually legitimate and not creations of random trolls.

According to a source familiar with the situation, Android 4.4.3 is, unsurprisingly, going to be a pure bug-fixer release. We shouldn't be seeing new features or UI changes - Google is saving those for a more major release. The Android 4.4.3 changelog is going to be comprised of several dozen fixes which are summarized below.

What's New?

With the introduction out of the way, let's take a look at the list of fixes, prioritized by me in order of importance. The list may not be complete, but this is what we've been told so far:

• 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

At the moment, as you can tell by the second letter of the build (only R = release, everything else means another branch), this is only a test build, and there is no word on the final release timeline. Hang tight though, as it shouldn't be too long.
