OnePlus has started rolling out a new software update for their handset — the One — that bumps the Android version to 4.4.4 and also brings some much needed bug-fixes and enhancements. Additionally, the update also brings a new ‘Clear Image’ functionality to the camera app. Under this mode, the camera takes a total of 10 images in quick succession and stitches them together for a final image, which has better clarity and details along with lower noise levels. The CyanogenMod team has also taken proper steps to ensure that the file size of the final image does not increase drastically under this mode. The update also tweaks the color calibration of the display to a slightly colder temperature, which should solve the yellowish display issue that most users have been reporting. The full change-log of the update is below:
Upgraded to Android 4.4.4 Updated to new versions of Google apps Added Clear Image Added new (colder) calibration for the screen Proximity sensor prevents activation of off-screen gestures while in your pocket Capacitive touch keys supported in the recovery mode Increased capacitive button illumination Improved overall stability Fixed issues with vibration being disabled during Quiet Hours Fixed lockscreen not updating the track information during music playback Fixed microphone volume for all formats in the Voice Recorder app Fixed “OK, Google” not triggering voice search in Google Now Fixed Viber calls not working Fixed battery percent not updating in custom lock screens Fixed PicasaSync Fixed Camera “O” gesture activating lockscreen instead of triggering camera Fixed wallpapers not applying in full screen, taking the wrong size when cropping, etc
The OTA update is being rolled out slowly so it might not show up instantly on your One. OnePlus states that “full deployment” of the OTA is expected to happen by the end of the week, which is when ideally most users should expect the update to land on their flagship killer.
