At&t Galaxy S4 Active is getting 4.4 kitkat update today.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...droid-4-4-ota-update-to-the-galaxy-s4-active/
How is that our verizon S4 is getting slower update than S4 variant (Active) ?
Such is life dealing with Verizon. They were first to bring 4.3 and will be last for 4.4.2. The leak is out if you want flash it though.

Maybe they're waiting to release 4.4.3

Looks like it will be may 2 if the leak paper is right. I figured they would do 4.4.3 also but nope
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Well Samsung doesn't even have 4.4.3 for the international model, so no way we are getting it.
Wow...I just read Verizon decided to skip 4.4.2 altogether for S4 and N3 so they could use it as a selling feature on the S5. Looks like we'll be waiting another 6-8 months for whatever L version of android comes next.

Proof? There is another rumor going around that the release is scheduled for May 2nd.

Just trolling...I hope it comes soon though. Absurd wait just so they could put that bullet point on the S5 marketing material.

Not sure exactly what you want proof of, but here is Verizon holding back 4.4 on the S4 to promote the S5.
Thread closed. Please continue all 4.4.3 discussion in this thread.

When will the VZW Note II be getting an update? It was promised when we bought it that it would be soon updated to 4.1.2, and by this point it might as well be an update to 4.2.2. When can we be expecting an update?
Friday.

I heard it was last Monday and if you didn't get it means your phone has been reported stolen and there is a warrant for your arrest. Really though why do people insist on asking this question like once a week as if someone here knows

That's how it is with Verizon.
I recommend CleanROM ACE. It's 4.1.2 and is awesome.
If your on Verizon you already have jelly bean. I have heard rumors that we may not ever get 4.2 and just go right to 5.0.

Unlocked and flash...you could be on 4.2.2 in about a hour if you really want it.

Luckily when updates do come, having to wait for the "rooted" friendly version is never too far out afterwards

Where is this so-called promise about 4.1.2 located?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Do you know how few changes are actually between 4.1.1 and 4.1.2? I'd be more concerned with when the 4.2.x update is coming than a trivial 4.1.2 update. At least let the update have some actual substance to it.

I thought Verizon was skipping the 4.1.2 update because it launched with multi window and other carriers did not and were updated to 4.1.2 not too long after
You never know. Verizon has been busy lately. Droid Charge and Droid Razr both just received updates...

Galaxy SIII
Galaxy S4

We'll be lucky to get the 4.2.2/4.3 Sense 5 update by the end of the year as "promised". Gonna be a while before we see 4.4

As much as I would love to see 4.4, and thank you OP for the link, I have to agree, Verizons track record doesn't bode well for them in this.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I would love to be more optimistic, but it's going to be almost a year next month and our phone is still on 4.1.1 Thanks for XDA and the wonderful developers around here:good:
Never from Verizon. Dev only. End of story.
This phone will be lucky to get 4.2.2

Definitely. If "Guaranteed by x date" Means, you'll get it a year after you've moved onto your next phone (My thunderbolt getting ICS), then I would bet that "Strong possibility" means "We're too afraid to tell you we don't give a crap about DNA users anymore."
It's almost as if these HTC execs or whatever are taunting the owners. Lol. First it was 4.3 by the end of Sept. Then it was 4.2 and Sense 5 by the end of Sept. Then it was by the end of the year. Now there saying maybe 4.3, or even 4.4.
This is just rude.
They will probably have it submitted to Verizon by the end of the year and Verizon will test it for 2 more years.

It's not HTC's fault it's Verizon if it were up to them to push updates we would have 4.3 already. It's Verizon who controls it all and they don't do updates so people will go and buy the latest and greatest phone.

Weather we get 4.4 officially or not (doubt we ever will) I'm sure there are developers who are going to be making 4.4 based roms. That's why most of us are on xda to get the best out of our phones. Either way my dna isn't going anywhere for a long time.

No. All you have to do is go to any of the android websites, they all have the same stories, more or less. (AP, AC, Phan, etc) And not a one says boo about impending ota (in the US).
But if you look in the general section, you'll seen a rdf thread, read the last 5 pages, that's all the news fit to print. Also check out the leak thread, read up there too.

Yeah no point in jumping the gun, although I'm starting to jump on this ART bandwagon, 4.4 AOSP is noticeably faster with it enabled.

Yea Art runs great as long as you don't use xposed or any other custom apps. That's the only thing that keeps me from sticking with it. Although Liquid is building a lot of the things I used xposed for right into their rom.

Yea beanstalk is a really awesome ROM. Definitely my second favorite after liquid now. Both are stable as hell.. And actually I just switched over to ART for good , the latest liquid added a couple more things that I really don't need xposed anymore.
If you need to flash something ...try liquid.

Let me first say sorry for an apparently dumb question. I don't have a Verizon gs4 or a gs4 at all for that matter. I'm trying to help out a few family members that have vzw gs4. They recently got an update and aren't happy with it. Some weird volume issues and the battery getting very hot. I'm trying to find out what the latest update was? Are there many people having issues with it and is it known issues by Verizon......can they expect another update soon to fix the issues etc?
I figured where better to ask than the xda gs4 community.
I'm very familiar with Samsung phones and Android in general. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I can see where using your phone for business it should be locked down, however, I would gladly pay $50 to have them just unlock the bootloader.
