Comment (by torlove):

 Hello Guardian Project Team,

 Today I attempted to update to the latest release of Orbot for my Kitkat,
 again using F-Droid.

 Regretably I have the same problem as above (log never moves beyond "Orbot
 is starting..."), although the device doesn't overheat and drain the
 battery as dramatically as it did previously.

 A point that might be of interest:
 - there doesn't appear to be any network access available to Orbot. There
 is no outgoing flashes in the top right traffic icon as I'd normally
 expect to see.

 Please help so Kitkat users can use the Tor Network.
