Flash Player websites required a different browser from the Play Store to get them to work. Post a link to the Flash web site you want to view and I'll test it out with the stock 4.4 Browser and my current favorite Boat Browser. BTW, the camera flash works fine with the OTA KitKat update t-mobile sent out.

I also had alot of doubts with KitKat, while on Jellybean and had the fear of making the leap. But I decided to try Kitkat and it turned out to be just fine. Its all about what you feel....I would say; Go for it!!

Kitkat is ghastly. If you use a microSim "external", Kitkat removes most of the previous functionality. Horrible.

Most apps can no longer write to the microSim. It is now forbidden by KitKat. Even third party file management apps like ES File Explorer no longer work properly.

It went away in a couple of days for me. I didn't have to do anything special but some folks recommend uninstalling software that might not be compatible with 4.4.2.

yea so true, I had to do that with my S4 from Metro when I updated to 4.4.2 some of my apps were not compatible. But the thing I read said to launch each app so it new there was a new OS. Then all was good,
On a different note thinking about getting a couple Note 3's from T-Mobile there plan seems to be more expensive then metro paying 71 a month for two lines and they want 88 If I pay the phones in full.

It's not that "some apps are incompatible with Kitkat" even if some may be.
It's that Kitkat has imposed a global inhibition that stops any third party app interacting properly with your microSIM - period. This is not an app problem; this a deliberate Kitkat slugging and a real reason not to use it at all.

No root for KitKat - yet. No multi-ROM Safestrap for KitKat - yet. No KitKat for me - yet. I make nandroids a couple of times a week.
