Earlier this month, a leak bought an unofficial list of devices that would be getting updated to Android 4.4 KitKat, at least in the U.S.. Today, Samsung USA has decided to make things official and has announced which of its phones and tablets will be getting the KitKat update, with many of the devices that were named in the leak actually included in the official list, including low-end devices like the Galaxy Tab 3 and the Galaxy S III mini (the upgraded model with LTE launched last year on AT&T and Verizon, not the international variant that came out in 2012.)
If you’re rocking a Galaxy Note 3 or Galaxy S4, expect to see a notification for the update today itself, especially if you’re on Sprint or US Cellular, as Samsung mentions that it will start rolling out starting today, confirming earlier leaks that suggested the update would be making its way to devices on the two networks.
Here’s the full list of devices that will be getting KitKat:
• Galaxy Note 3
• Galaxy Note II
• Galaxy S4
• Galaxy S4 mini
• Galaxy S4 Active
• Galaxy S4 zoom
• Galaxy S III
• Galaxy S III mini
• Galaxy Mega
• Galaxy Light
• Galaxy Note 8.0
• Galaxy Tab 3
• Galaxy Note 10.1
• Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition
That’s a pretty big list, which should make users of the aforementioned devices quite happy, though if you’re using a non-flagship device, we would recommend patience as Samsung will likely take its time pushing out the newer version of Android. The presence of the Galaxy Note 10.1 on the list is especially good to see, as users of the device have been pretty vocal of the poor support Samsung has extended to the original Galaxy Note tablet, with the device on Android 4.1.2 for more than a year.
Here’s the press release:
Samsung Confirms KitKat for U.S. Smartphones and Tablets

Back in late October, a leaked document had given us a look at the update schedule for the Android 4.3 updates for various Samsung devices by major US carriers, including the Galaxy S4. Now, a new document obtained by Android Police has revealed that the Galaxy S4 on carrier US Cellular will begin receiving the update from November 8th, starting from 9 AM in the morning.
The update – build R970TYURMJA – will add support to the Galaxy S4 for the Galaxy Gear, improve performance and display quality, add new camera and TouchWiz features, KNOX functionality, and more. Also accompanying the update will be a newer Kies version, so for those using their computers to upgrade, an update to Kies might be required as well.

This update has nothing to do with the SGH-I337. I know there isn't a forum for the US Cellular variant, but you should title the post of this thread accordingly. If you have a Galaxy S4 on US Cellular, then you model number is SCH-R970. The i337 is an AT&T only variant.
It probably makes more sense for this thread to exist in the Galaxy S4 international forums.
I dont understand what this has to do with the ATT galaxy s4 variant.
Yeah, move it to us cellular please, I got all confused

I put this update off until yesterday. I wish i had continued to put it off as this update is a hunk of garbage. My phone has rebooted over 20x and constantly crashes when playing games, and any other hardware intensive application.
No I am not exaggerating.
I booted into recovery, wiped 3x to hard reset it and still have these issues. I am now looking at a custom ROM from this site to install.
Do not install this update if you can avoid it.

Where did you get that list? It seems too early, especially for Samsung, to publish such a list...

just wondering where they get the info. leaked from samsung or .. ?
Hi everyone, I have a question I can't seem to find an answer to.
I have a Galaxy S6 Edge (SM-G925I), and one of the main reasons I bought it is because of the incoming release of Samsung Pay in Brazil, my country. But, our local Samsung branch claims the S6 and S6 Edge variants sold here lack support for MST, and consequently, Samsung Pay.
Compatibility
The Samsung Pay only works on some of Samsung's high-end smartphones, in addition to one or other intermediary. MST we have the Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6 Edge + and intermediate Galaxy A, in addition to the new S7 and S7 Edge. (Interestingly, the service was announced by the Galaxy S6, but Samsung says that the Brazilian version has no MST, only NFC.)

The S6 Edge+ (SM-G928G), Note 5 (SM-N920G) and A7 2016 (SM-A710M) supposedly support the feature fine.
My question is: is it true? Does the G920I and G925I really lack this functionality? Or is it some corporate BS to push their newest devices?
Is there any way I can tell if my phone supports MST?
Bump
I guess no one knows, due to the lack of answers?
