cuz every one else got their kitkat update
I think once Samsung/Verizon are done with it, Kitkat on the non-MDK S4 will look more like Gingerbread than real Kitkat anyways.

The people on all forums about the VZW S4 are a very small number of VZW users. Almost all people will not get a new phone until their current plan is up. Therefore the S5 coming out is irrelevant to when KitKat is released. The majority of people will update to KK when it's pushed and most have never heard of it, let alone care.
VZW taking longer also means Samsung has worked out some bugs in their initial releases. Bloatware doesn't have much to do with it, IMO, most apps are tweaked to work with new software fairly quick.

We have Verizon.. So we have great service but have to deal with locked bootloaders and wait forever for OTA updates lol what can we do.. Maybe move over to TMobile?!

was in VZW yesterday (held a S5, kinda nice feeling) and asked as they tried to repair my S4. Dude seemed very tech savy until i pointed out VZW is last to get KK. he didnt even know when it'll b out.. Some "flagship" device right? makes me think they'll be pulling a dinc2 ICS move on us
This is getting annoying. 4.3 update fixed none of the issues or bugs really.... and then they make the flagship phone wait for kitkat.

VZW has been known to only care about the brand new phones. I had a HTC Droid Incredible 2 and at the time the Inc series was their flagship, but the Dinc2 was still 3g. ICS was getting put on everything and they had their lists out showing what would and wouldn't and our Dinc2's were on the confirmed list just never received nothing . VZW passed blame to HTC and of course HTC passed it right back to VZW. Then about 6 months or so later or so VZW comes out and says our old flagship isnt gettin ICS at all, stated communication errors with just that phone. Wouldnt even release source for it. Now if it was the 4g model, which was the Incredible S, we would've had ICS and source. I dont trust VZW as far as updates and they'll probably state same excuse and offer us a discounted S5 or a free upgrade to switch our plan totally and for us to pay more in about 4 months. If KK drops just be amazed if we get passed 4.4.2. this phone probably wont see 4.4.3

I actually thought it meant, "Our original ICS version had at least 1 major bug that we discovered when testing in real-world situations and we aren't going to release it until it is ready for everyone."
Of course, they could have also meant, "At least one of our 'content partners' (who are paying big bucks to get their advertisement disguised as an application inserted into our release) hasn't actually sent in their app yet and we aren't going to release it until it is monefied for everyone."
LOL im so surprised people are surprised by lack of updates from telus/rogers/bell
we may get most phones before the usa, but we pay for it with our carriers holding back updates

I don't like AOSP ROMs, I was using OnlyOne HYFR B4, and it still has those AT&T things in Wi-Fi settings, and carrier name on the status bar.
Actually they were not big deal but it had some kind of bug, when I try installing an app from APK file, I can click "Cancel" but I can't click "Install".
So, I will be staying on rooted stock Gingerbread ROM with the holoNote kernel and wait for official ICS from TELUS.

Gnex is ICS out of the box.
@JamieD81, we're in the same boat with bricked N7000's. I bought another N7000 with a cracked screen just for the motherboard, since the only place to get N7000's fixed is in Europe. Plus I went thru 3 mainboards on my I9000M. I still buy Sammie's crap, but I'm being a little more careful about flashing roms now. I'm waiting until the official rom is released, and played with enough before I throw my i717 on the line this time.

I Will Believe When It Is Downloading

It sounds so pessimistic but that what they have done to us.
So for me seeing is believing.
Sorry to be so pessimistic
Not going to happen. I'm a pessimist too and I am nearly willing to bet this will not happen on 10/28. I think we should bug the hell out of verizon though....pointing them to this leak to make sure it gets out ASAP.

IIRC GPE later then 4.2.2 (or what ever the current one that works on safestrap) uses a different kernal then the regular touchwiz and will not work until kexec is developed.
Though hopefully 4.3 does come out soon, I get the feeling that having a new update to android that cannot be installed w/o a new kernal will help push kexec along...
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
I think the 10/28 date is when Samsung is submitting the 4.3 update to Verizon to review and approve. It makes no sense that Verizon would update first out of all of the US carriers based on their past history.
Look at the rest of the S4 and S3 dates, most of them are slated for mid to late November, which seems more likely for a Verizon release. The other carriers don't really have a reviewal process like Verizon does to my knowledge, so they get the update and just push it to devices almost immediately. Therefore, Samsung built our version of 4.3 first and is submitting it earlier so that all of its devices get 4.3 around the same time.
Of course, I could be completely wrong and Verizon is releasing the 4.3 update on Monday. I won't complain if they do
I wonder how many of you will say lol woot when you download the update on 28th or 29th whatever the date is
I'm not getting a woody over this atm. It will likely be so locked down as mentioned that safestrap & roms will be out of the question for who knows how long. I'll stick to the customizations that I have now via ME7 & safestrap/Hyperdrive Rom.
Updates to me are useless until at least root can be obtained.

This almost always refers to the international unlocked version and has zero impact on when/if the US carriers (Verizon) will update it. Nothing to see here.

AOSP FOR MK2 IS THE MAIN POINT OF THIS DISCUSSION. STOP MENTIONING MDK
If you have an MDK S4 there are aosp ROMs available. If you aren't on MDK you're stuck with TW. I've actually seen a jump in the amount of developers in the past couple months.

Yeah I remember you saying that before, but this is exactly the situation that can happen. I would've never bought a Samsung device if I didn't love Touchwiz. Sure I run AOSP a lot, I'm on Google Edition right now, but if something happened to this phone I would be perfectly content with stock Touchwiz.
If you're going to stick on Verizon, it seems Motorola is the only company coming out with AOSP phones on this network.

Hey I know what your saying I felt the same way when I had the locked down one... The money part is a bummer but after I bought this mdk one and sold my other s4 I think in total I spent only $100 out of pocket so I could deal with that... Check it out.. may work for you too

That's a concept, but why put in more money for something w/ 100% no warranty?
Just buy something off contract, like that moto x or a G2
HOPE!

Indeed indeed. I'm hoping that you guys will be successful.
If only bypassing the whole locked os was possible and just booting from an SD card (like the HD2), or kinda like what they did on the touchpad.
Just re-write the whole system. Seems like that would be just as easy.

If anyone is going to figure it out.. It's the people working together in that thread. It is a shame Verizon is such a pain in the asssss lol. My other s4 on sprint (granted its crappy sprint service) is nice an easy. Root it..use whatever form you want for a recovery and you're good to go....

Unfortunately I cant find the right resistor to short to start the boot from SD process, though im still looking. The boot from SD is being tested on the note 3 today by some others so we'll see how that goes and go from there I guess.
I wish Samsung was as helpful as HP was with the touchpad, well that and a device was found with android already on it to help jumpstart that process.
With KitKat incoming, everything is being pushed into hyperdrive. http://m.cnet.com/news/samsung-updates-galaxy-s4-note-3-with-android-kitkat/57619025

im still waiting for a miui port
So what do you guys think will be the next update we will get you think Samsung/Tmobile will bother updating us to the 4.4.4 ??? Or just wait it out and go str8 to Android L ?? Will be interesting to see how Android L Looks once touchwiz is on top
I was wondering the same thing I'm betting we may not get Android L.... It probably makes more sense for Samsung to come out with a Galaxy s6 with Android L....

I'm guessing they'll update us to 4.4.4, then leave it till the S6 comes out. Probably a month after the S6 comes out we'll get L.

Same thing I was thinking I don't think the galaxy 5 will ever see Android L or at least for a really long time right before the galaxy 6 comes out.....
I'm guessing that Galaxy F/S5Prime will more than likely get the priority of the updates before the s6 lol
Well there's the 18 month upgrade rule, supposely these carriers follow. So we'll see L, just most likely in the summer or fall 2015 unfortunately.

You guys are buggin! I got KitKat on my S4 (Sprint) around January/February. So I'd be willing to bet anything that w get L Q1 of 2015.

Lol they are buggin, sg5 is a brand new phone, of course it will get andriod L update.
I'm disappointed we don't even have 4.4 yet, I don't understand how this works. Samsung devs finalize it, and send it off to carriers? And then carriers mess with it? This takes months and months?

Android is a highly fragmented OS, which is pretty annoying, luckily we can root and install our own 4.4 roms! haha

Yea any 4.4.4 rom have a bunch of important stuff broken so we do have to wait till Samsung pushes their TouchWiz update for us to be able to use 4.4.4

No, that won't help either. Even the 4.4.2 ROMs are broken. The devs are trying hard to get the drivers working, but I don't know enough about that stuff to see what exactly is holding them back.

fragmentation is the wrong word, fragmentation implies that android as an entire OS is missing major features and apps are incompatible which is simply not the case, you're thinking of segmentation which is what android is now(back in the 2.2/2.3.3 days you would be right though). With 4.0 android being released, it really blurred the lines between different Android versions and made things very modular as opposed to lets say iOS which is very monolithic, you can not get the latest safari on an older version of iOS, you can however have the latest google now, maps, ect. on a device with 4.0 without rooting and have full functionality for the most part(just missing minor things like "ok google") and unlike iOS, aps built on newer versions of android work on older versions of android unlike iOS where newer apps are incompatible with older versions of iOS
I think an update is required. I have a glitch with the back cover. The current modem is pretty awful. It even makes my phone start up longer. The device even added that T-Mobile 4G LTE screen logo too. I remember it took no time to boot up the S5. Now, it takes mine roughly 30 seconds.

Mine takes about fifteen.
Edit: timed it. You're right. 27 seconds.
