Is anyone else kind of annoyed about these other phones that are skipping 4.2.2 and going straight to 4.3? I know there won't be any major differences but I feel like we bought the latest and greatest but are getting shafted. Maybe I'm being anal, I just find it hard to believe they will update us to 4.2.2 and then 6 months later send another out for 4.3. Maybe I'm wrong. Thoughts anyone?

You think so? I sure hope not. My retired evo is still getting (unofficial) updates. Hope the fun continues for longer then just next year.
I'm sure we will see 4.2.2 soon and I'm hoping we also get 4.3. The phone should handle it right?

I haven't seen any phones that are getting 4.3 other than pure Android phones, which already have 4.2.2...
Everything is still speculation.
And c'mon guys, the One came out not too long ago and you're already annoyed about updates. Geez.

Stories out today saying note 2 will skip and go directly to 4.3. They aren't saying that it is happening anytime soon.

I'm happy with 4.1 and bought my one not expecting a lot of updates. I like the finesse Sense gives the phone that AOSP always lacks. That's just me, other people like AOSP and really it's the wrong phone for that

I care less about 4.2 or 4.3. They are so minor..android has hit a plateau and I'm satisfied. It is sad that development overall has been mastered to a point where nothing happens anymore haha.

Yeah sure. The HTC One S was also supposed to get 4.2.2 according to an insider, but then HTC out and said no.
The S3 was also supposed to get 4.2.2 by the middle of this month. Well we didn't.
It's all rumors and stories until it actually happens.

I really really like sense 5, I keep wanting to go to AOSP based Rom, but when I do I always End up missing certain things about sense, which is really weird cause I hated sense on my 3vo, and the more I think about it it's not a huge deal just wanted other people's opinion. And I suppose if I really wanted updates I could have gone with a nexus instead

Like what was mentioned before, the new androids aren't too different. I mainly want the upgrade so we can get ports for all those roms that the GSM version has. Apparently that's the only thing stopping us...the lack of a CDMA 4.2 kernel

I had the 3d, but was rooted and was running the newest version, there was a lot of development for that phone so it was nice.
And I was really bummed out we didn't get the N4, and if we do get the N5 it'll be a tough choice to get rid of the One, cause I really do like sense 5...who knows time will tell

This is what I don't understand... If Apple can release updates bypassing carriers... Why can't Google? I'm asking this regarding SPRINT because Sprint dossnt force bloat. All their apps can be found on playstore except VVM, but I'm sure Sprint can just somehow get It to us

It's not the same thing. iOS is dominated by one manufacturer while in Android there are multiple manufactures involved.

Back in the day, apple could tell the carriers it's my way or the highway. They didn't take the carriers bs and seems like it has stuck since Android started dominating in sales the last few years

So I just got this phone yesterday and I love it so far... My only question or concern is will it still get the updates as quick as the nexus... I noticed it was still on 4.2.2 and my Nexus tablet is on 4.3... That was my main selling point to buy the phone...

Not as quick as a Nexus. No phones or tablets get updates as quick as the Nexus line.
If that was the main selling point for you, I suggest you return it and wait for the Nexus 5.

Many people believe, since Google owns Motorola, that Motorola phone will get updates faster... Google has already stated that this is not true, they get no preferential treatment in regards to updates.
That being said, due to the limited bastardization of android on the moto x, it is fair to believe that this device has the potential to get updates quicker, whether that will play out as such, will be better known in the future.
But, the quick answer to your question is"no" this will not get updates as fast as a nexus device... Its not a nexus device. But it is understandable to believe that we will get updates more quickly than most other manufacturers devices on the market.

I will be happy if we hey an update in a reasonable amount of time... I guess that's a matter of opinion on what's a reasonable amount of time... I just traded in my HTC One XL for this phone so as long as I would get the updates faster than I did on that phone I will be happy... Also I was hoping to get support for this device for a longer period of time and keep receiving the updates... I just figured since it does not have a heavy ui like sense or touch wiz I would get updates quicker and supported longer... But I'm happy with the phone so I think I'm just going to keep it...

This is the first phone I've had that I don't want to root... I actually want the ability to get the ota updates, seems like Motorola is actively listening to consumers and pushing updates... I don't want to miss out on what they have coming. Plus, this phone is simply amazing, just the way it is.

AP is usually pretty accurate. Dates are always subject to change based on carrier, but the current target date for Sprint S4 4.3 update appears to be 10/30
Edit: according to the article, the Verizon update was expected to be released today, and it did - http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...now-lists-android-4-3-ota-update-i545vruemj7/
2 days to go for 10/30 - woohoo!
Edit 2: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...sprints-galaxy-s4-is-ready-right-on-schedule/
Now, waiting for "I got it" threads, and for "4.3 flashable, rooted available here"
I'm looking forward to a TW rom with 4.3, but I'm really wanting the AOSP 4.4 Rom
What's new for 4.4? I'm mostly looking forward to 4.3 to utilize the NotificationListener service.

Only if smart ones would try to flash international leaks on Sprint or flash unrooted on a rooted phone.

Seems like with this phone, by the time the full tar.md5 is discovered, there's already a flash for root and hotspot. The hard part is to find the strength to wait past the update zip and tar and go for the full flash. With this phone, and decades of pc updates with Windows, the best and most thorough experience is had with waiting for the full flash, not update, to surface. Yes the updates work but my opinion is held that a full install is better than just a patch update. Your mileage may vary.

It has only been "announced" in the sense that Google revealed the name and version number in an online post. They haven't actually held a traditional announcement in which they give release info and go over the new features that are included. We don't know when it's coming out or what all it includes yet.

That announcement will be made when announce the new Nexus devices since they will be offered with 4.4 out of the box in all likelihood.

Sammobile listing leaked 4.3 builds for AT&T phones. Sounds like they have kept a tight grip on the 4.3 release. I would have expected at least one early release to be leaked before the OTA is available.
I wouldn't be too happy about an update given that there is basically a 100% chance that it will include a Knox-equipped bootloader.

I have been pestering at&t customer service about it as frequently as I can. Maybe once a week.
The chat guys are really nice but they admit they dont know anything about the update. They admit it has been released over 3 months ago (by samsung to at&t) and that they have to sanction it first. They also say "i dont konw, might be never".
I got a chat guy for AT&T to admit that 4.4.2 for S4 was released 2/26/2014
So if it was this recently, note 3's update is probably coming soon.
Has anyone else received a small software update? I am currently in baseband nb4.

The title really should be changed.
1: it is misleading and makes people think it has been released
2: it has not been released so this "discussion" is exactly the same as the rest all over the forums.
3: it is a question in the OP asking for an ETA. Not really allowed and nothing has been said or heard on when it comes out. It gets released when it gets released. And since it is a question, it belongs in the QA section.

She got kitkat. We haven't yet. On her phone the entire system has to be bone stock to update. At least that's what I'd do just to be sure. Make sure she has a good wifi connection.

if at&t follows their usual update patterns, i expect it will be released in late april or early may (when the s5 is coming out). im assuming they're just waiting for the s5 to come out before releasing kitkat so people will buy the s5 instead of the s4 since it will be their only kitkat phone. just an educated guess
