[Q] What about 4,4 KitKat?! - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is Active got already the kitkat update?
if he got I'll be happy if you tell me how to do it?
THX

The official OTA update for KK was v released 4/16/14 but was very buggy (screen unusable, etc). Since 4/18/14, AT&T pulled the update, and have since said they are working with Samsung in fixing the update and will be releasing the update again soon. As with everything, don't ask for an ETA as no one can even guess when that will be... Hopefully soon though.

I had a similar situation once using rocket rom ICS a couple of weeks ago, I booted it up for the first time and just when my finger was about to touch a part of the screen a update notification popped up under my thumb which got pressed :/ dunno what it wanted to update to but I had to stop the update as I was on data. When I was on WiFi I went for manual update and it said that the device was modified and couldn't be updated.
Ditto thats what i did. Not that i care about getting updates anyway just thought it was strange.

I think you arent getting an upgrade notification but a notification for a check to upgrade like

Update

Just got an update via OTA to fix the blank calls while charging.
After months of waiting and feedback(I've already given up on getting an update ) it finally got fixed,.
Any tested it? Android 4.0.3?
it was just a 12mb hotfix for the bug or at least thats what it said,i haven't tested it yet.
I tested it.it solves the issue.....and gea it is android 4.0.3 but another thing:
This might be mty imagination but the screen contrast looks better!somehow!

do you still have the blank screen while charging+getting a call bug? (on custom brightness)
if you don't have it then it means you got the update and I got it later,if you do have the bug then i think you have to wait.
I dont Know xp I dont get called a lot, so I don't have any idea if the bug exists...

doesn't any1 in your family have a phone? also when you test it make sure the screen is not on autobrigthness.
again my phone has HTC India as the carrier so i don't know whether they release the updates earlier for this CID and later for EU/others or not.

Update or no update?

I just bought my wife the XZ and I see many people have problems with the 4.2.2 update and their battery. I also see mixed comments on it being fixed in this update and not on that one.
So my question is: would it be better to leave her phone on 4.1.2 at the moment or are all the bugs worked out? Were on TMOUS, the phone says there is no update but I saw u can update from the computer correct?
Thanks

with flashtools you can upgrade it to 4.2.2 with a FTF file if you would like. I have seen/read on version .244 (4.2.2) the battery bug should of gone

Asking Best buy or AT$T to image older rom

I see some mention of this as a solution, although it look some it's only for those that downgraded to NB5.
.I am trying to understand what would happen if AT&T or BB try to image an older ROM on to the 4.4 leak that some of us are RUNNING, including me.
Assuming AT&T / BB agree to try, has anyone had success this way?

I took my Note 3 in to BB yesterday. I'm running the Leaked MLG 4.4.2.
The Samsung dudes were unable to get NB4 to load over the leak.
My BB didn't even have the NC2 (official KK release) in their system yet.
Going to try a different BB tomorrow.

i had the same issue.i restored to mj5 by following the post here at xda then had bb reflash to nb4. no probs updating to kk via ota.
ATT rep told me that if they attempt to restore a 4.3 image over KK it will brick the phone so they won't do it.
Because my phone wouldn't boot when I brought it in they couldn't confirm the OS version. I had to sign a waiver acknowledging my phone might become a brick and releasing them of liability before they would agree to restore my phone.

there is a working method to get the official OTA to update on your phone, Miata just posted a thread about how to do this after restoring to MJ5 and taking the NB4 updated.
he has a file that you flash and after that the OTA update should not fail anymore. Yall should try it out instead of waiting on BB or Att to do something that you can do.

need some help

My buddy got a note 3 with jb firmware. We decided to software update it. We were successful with one update. This one....see pic. Well now we are trying to upgrade it to the kk update. But we are stuck with message see the other pic attached. It's been stuck on this for a good hour. Any suggestions?
Second pic.......
If you plan to root the phone, you want to update to a leaked version of kitkat
DK 4.1, GPE Orange, Xposed, xgel, and other great extras
