AT&T/Verizon/Sprint/T-Mobile/US Cellular pull Android 4.3 update

I don't plan on installing it. I'm going to wait for kit kat. How do I get rid of the icon?

As per post #49..

You cannot have a, "full nandroid equivalent", mirror image in time of OS, system, files, settings and apps, without root access.[/QUOTE from IRONASS]

Yes this is a "plea for help" or "call to arms" for developers to try to find a path forward - where rooting is not required to make a backup. Helium, to my understanding, is not a full backup.

"T-Mobile's S4 update to Android 4.3 was scheduled for today, but considering the storm brewing it seems wise to delay."

It looks as though the planned release for T-Mobile yesterday, (18 Nov: ), has been delayed. See, here.

US Cellular have also issued a statement...

Following AT&T , US Cellular Confirms That The Galaxy S4 4.3 Update Has Been Suspended

UPDATE

The good news is that Samsung have begun the roll out of a bug fix Android 4.3 firmware. See...

Android 4.3 firmware release fixes bugs

I just updated my S4 and my biggest issue is with the Wi-Fi connection. It losts the signal almost every 15mins. It's not so critical at all, but I hope they will fix it soon.

T-Mobile's, SGH-M919, for the U.S. has just had a release for Android 4.3 with a build, MK2, dated 16th Nov:

Samsung do not issue changelogs of update details but the build date and number would indicate that this is a bug fix release.

Check both OTA, (Over the Air), and with Kies for update.

If you don't install it can you get rid of the icon in the top left corner?

At this point, I hope AT&T just waits to roll out 4.4, rather than the "fixed" 4.3. I just received the Google OTA to 4.4 on my Nexus 7 last night, and it resolves all issues. All the good stuff from 4.3 is there, plus the new boot animation and PERSISTANT NOTIFICATIONS ARE FIXED!

AT&T is already pushing 4.4 for some devices, so maybe there's hope:

No problems here at all. Just did a soft reset as a precaution. Battery life is actually better than before the upgrade.
