I had some troubles after the upgrade. For example, there is a setting that enables the phone to speak the identity of the caller when the phone rings. After the upgrade, that feature disappeared — which is fine, except that on my phone the feature was somehow turned on, and now there was no on-screen setting to turn it off. The second problem I had after the upgrade was that my battery would run down, apparently because an process called “Media Server” was keeping the phone awake. I searched online and couldn’t find solutions to either of these problems, but I could find some similar stories of various other little problems that were cured by doing a factory reset. This seemed the path of least pain, so I did a factory reset, and all the problems went away.

It seems that the process of applying the upgrade is not as clean as one would like. My advice is to just simply plan for doing a factory reset after the KitKat upgrade. If it’s the first thing you do when you get your new G2, then it will be that much easier.
