    also still waiting for it on my phone.

    Does anyone have any ideas how to download it manually and side load it. Also, if you do that is the phone then rooted?

    I went to about phone in the settings and it was there to be downloaded. It has been pushed out to 100% of devices, should be there for everyone.

    Cleared Google Services Framework and got the notification for 4.4.2 this morning. Wasn't available last night when I tried the same thing. Installing now.

    Explains why my N5 isn't showing up on my devices list on the play store then. If it is that bad an idea they should really not allow you to do it then.

    I still haven't been prompted for 4.4.1 yet :mad:

    Did anybody get this, who didn't sideload it or mess with frameworks?

    Got it too. My phone was set up to download it only by WiFi. So switch on WiFi if you have it.

    I noticed that too. It could have said so when you went in to check while on mobile data.
