I'm new and would like to know what is the difference between MI9,MJ5?, and KitKat. Performance wise, boltware, ect. I know the stock MI9 comes with whole bunch of craps preloaded. Does the mj5 n KitKat also has same apps preloaded? Thanks for your inputs. David

Ml9 is almost the same as MJ5. Kit Kat has different looking UI and performance improvements.
As far as BLOATWARE. Most of that is from your carrier (At&t, T-Moble crap) All carrier phones mostly come with that crap.
mj5 ("J") means jellybean right? Or its just a improved version of mi9?

No, the J is the Month the Rom was released. So in the case of J, the 10th letter of the alphabet, coincides with the 10th month or October.

It's out on other carriers. Anyone know when AT&T are going to release it? I'm running the leak which works fine...

It's unknown. Att could be trying to fix the gps issue but for all anyone knows they just don't feel like releasing yet.

AT&T hasn't said crap about it..You'll just have to wait if you want it. KNOXRAID is one if not the only KK custom ROM that works flawlessly.
wait til 4

if all of us hold or breath while signing the petition then they will have to listen. it must have worked with t-mo http://www.tmonews.com/2014/03/andr...wnload/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
It'll come out when it comes out. Just like everything else smartphone related. When it does, I'll be right here saying "I told you so."
:good:
Hope the GPS issue is fixed.

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.

I'm on NB4 and haven't received any updates since but they say KitKat is coming soon.

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.

How big was the download? 30 mb or so?

It was 37MB and then my wife had one on her S4 that was 300+MB that failed. Is it common to not be able to update over the air? I've always had to use kies to upgrade.

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

AT&T already officially released the 4.4.2 KitKat update for the S4 about 2 weeks ago.
Should I get the note 3 or wait for the note 4 to come out end of this year? What are some suggestions here? I can't stand this phone anymore... No root really sucks
Dude, no root is due to locked bootloader and the fact that all current exploits are for 4.3 and below. If you get a non carrier S5 now thats awesome. Good luck though. I bet the N4 is going to be a killer

note 3 on the last version of 4.3, and all on 4.4.2 are not rooted.
you can basically count on all Samsung carrier phones on ATT and VZW being locked and non rootable.
My wife has note 3 and it has locked bootloader and knoxed up. She's running stock 4.4.2 TW on it.

Yes, new AT&T Note 3 owners with Kitkat are in the same boat as the S5, but there is this. You could also do the same thing with the S5. Unlocked..root...freedom...
There is a sticky to discuss other devices
Please use that
Thanks

I think the 4.4.4 is a required prereq to lollipop. So we will get lollipop soon they just decided to stagger the two updates, someone said 2/4 as a rumor for lollpop in another thread

I'm sure it is too, except they won't release 5.0 for another 4-6 months. (Like the 4.4.2->4.4.4 upgrade)
Has anyone with an active gotten an update yet? Just curious
I got the update tonight on my active

Haven't gotten anything on my active yet..I checked Samsung firmware site also nothing on there either.
Has anyone got an S5 without 5.0 preinstalled recently?
I ordered my S5 online thru AT&T and it did NOT have Lollipop preinstalled FYI

No LP for me either
I just picked up my S5 yesterday, it came with 4.4.4.
I got my GS5 today, came with 4.4.4, build number: KTU84P.G900AUCU2AOA1
