[Q] Official Kitkat 4.4

Hey guys,
Anyone knows when the official stock android 4.4 update for the i9305. A leaked samsung document said it would roll out in may, but it's july and i still don't have the update.
I know i could flash an custom rom but every 4.4 ROM i try has really annoying battery drain (i flashed CM11, omni, carbon, LS) so if anyone has an idea, please tell me! And if there's anyone with a battery-friendly 4.4 rom, please tell me!
Sorry for my bad english BTW.

Thanks man! but i don't see the S3 LTE in the list, does that mean that we won't get the update?

Well to start off with, Australia only got 4.3 on the I9305T in the last few months.. NC1 is still 4.3.
The reason it's not on the list is because that's a list of approved/completed updates.
The I9300 was probably cancelled as it doesn't support the Knox Bootloader.
The I9305 does support Knox, so it's fair to assume they will release 4.4.2+ for us at some point.
Until Samsung release some official information on it, enjoy 4.3!

KitKat update for S3 LTE is ready. It's only matter of preparing (add own bloatware) by carriers. Some of them already rolled it out. Search google for: "When will my device receive the latest KitKat" - should be first link on samsung site.

Yes it is, but in april there was a leaked document with information about the LTE version receiving kitkat in may/june, pretty weird.:crying:

Today even latest i9300i has recived KK according to sammobile site...:what:
Sent from my GT-I9305 using XDA

so update for our device should roll very very soon...i hope we get it by the end of this month at least...

The I9301 uses a Snapdragon processor... Maybe Samsung engineering team can t update the kernel of their processor (exynos). If Samsung doesn't update it is my last Samsung. Its a Shame... Bad advertising for Exynos products...

Thanks bro, i hope it's reliable and we'll get it

Once it gets released, we just have to wait for someone to un-knox it, so that 4.1.2 bootloader users will be able to use it...
By the way, what are the new features that it will have over the tw 4.3 jb???? (Apart from the ugly battery icon!!!)

Eagerly waiting for the update. I believe SG I9305 will get 4.4 soon. It's about time.

It's about the issue with RAM. KitKat was designed for 512MB RAM devices but unfortunately KitKat with TouchWiz needs 2GB and that's why only i9305 will have this update.

Theres no kit kat for us... I regret so much having bought this phone. Damn exynos chip!
Today i ve broken the screen glass...
I always tought that was a s4 or 5.. But i' ve learned the lesson, next phone: nexus 5, motorola x or one plus one.

Samsung never releases information about upcoming updates. The only way you'll know it's here is when they start rolling it out. You can keep checking at www.sammobile.com/firmwares/.

Telling you the truth, whether you find it helpful or not. Samsung never intentionally releases information on firmware updates. Not in Korean, English, Chinese or any other language. If you don't believe me, Google it for yourself in whatever language you like. There isn't secret information on xda you won't find at Google.

There are others media like facebook instagram or similar available in China. That's why I asked help from someone speaking chinese especialy since N9200 is a model only for Hong Kong and China.
BTW. My huawei watch update was announced in germany in german language. Do you see my point now?

Is there any MM rom compatible with SM-N9200? I'm tired of waiting.. probably Note 4 users will receive an OTA update to MM before me..
lol.
Thanks

Nothing for now as far as I am aware. It is actually quite difficult to find a compatible ROM with 9200 due to difference in the modem with the other models. Therefore, I think we are stuck until Samsung releases an update for our model and this will be used by some ROM such as Infinity which was compatible with LP and 9200.

Ok.. we could only wait

As far as I know MM update will come with support for samsuny pay in china this month. Maybe that's why we have to wait a little more. My question is if we can use samsung pay in europe, using an HK/China model?

There are many MM ROMs but i want Nougat. I miss the premium feel of note 5 over OnePlus 3.

Just give it some time. Nougat only started rolling out for the Note 5 a few days ago. The N9200 will also come, if not within days then at least within a few weeks

Will Tab S2 8.0 (SM-T710) ever get Android 7.x Nougat?

I believe that the 9.7" version of the Tab S2 already got its Android 7.x (Nougat) update. Will the 8.0 (SM-T710) version ever get this, too, or has Samsung just abandoned this tablet and we're out of luck?
--Ron

we should get it soon... wasn't aware the 9.7 got it already but after getting it last week on my s7 i want it on my tablet now...

No Tab S2 has gotten the Nougat update yet. It is scheduled for late April or Mid-May. Believing is not knowing.

I don't think it will get N, Samsung usually only provide one GEN update to each devices.
Our S2 already had L>M, so............

Bullsh**

It is - edit the URL to say 813 instead of 810: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-T813

Thanks. I searched but didn't find it. Alas no Nougat update listed

Nougat for T-810 is officially out: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/general/7-0-sm-t810-manual-install-t3585044

Looks like the T710 is getting updated too. https://plus.google.com/+DavidIwantschak/posts/ZkAMV45EpqH

In that case the t813 should definitely get it too!

We should, but the 813 is a Snapdragon based tablet, not Exynos, so the 710 getting it is no guarantee. However, I find it hard to imagine that they would update the older tablet and not the newer one.

T-mobile Note 9 - Anyone got Pie yet?

Looking to see if anyone on T-mobile has Android Pie 9.0 yet, the official download. That, or does anyone know when it'll come?

Nope. Probably within the next month I hope.

In the US, officially not yet. I think Verizon was the first one to update the Note 8 to Android 8... I'm not sure how quickly T-MOBILE updated their phones

Just for reference,the Note 8 on T-Mobile didn't get a stable build until May '18 (April '18 version got pulled,buggy).
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-36189
Since the Pie update isn't even on T-Mo's radar yet,I'm guessing we're looking at an equally long wait:

Nope. No bootloader update yet for the note 9 so you are safe to downgrade back to Oreo or even over to u1 firmware if you'd like.

anyone got an update for one ui 2.5 att?

As the title suggests, I haven't been able to find anything just tmoble

From what i understood while helping a few snapdragon users, AT&T firmware handling is done through them and not Samsung. Considering how snapdragon is a month or two slower on releases to Exynos, with AT&T you seem to get another layer of delay.
Nevertheless, you can always flash the Unlocked (SM-N960U1 XAA) firmware to it, but i would assume you'd lose a few AT&T features specific to their CSC.

Have been looking for any US based version of the update and still nothing yet. Hope we see something soon. I will be honest I want wireless DeX.

Weirdly, AT&T got 2.5 yesterday, before the unlocked one.

No SM-N9600 has got One UI 2.5 yet. The latest one is TGY (Hong Kong) ETJ5, but that's still One UI 2.1. We still have to wait for a FXXX firmware.

I'm on Spectrum and this is the latest in the month I've gone without an update. Im guessing there was a bug in first build, maybe thats why the release of the 2nd and the delay?
