The Beats Music is a pay in monthly AT&T billing, in the sort of Pandora. Around $9.00 per month. I downloaded the Kit Kat 4.4.2 just an hour ago and the Beats Music icon is in my app drawer. Go to Google Play Store , my apps- is there too with the others AT&T bloaties. You can go to settings-apps-and disable it.

Yeah, I know... I just hate having to add one more thing on my long list of apps already disabled. It's nuts they wont let you uninstall some bloat that doesnt come from AT&T... like Kindle reader for peats sake!
But I had a error message that comes up at boots that the posted fixes will not resolve, so I backed up my photos and am wiping it clean and starting over. Figured that would probably happen when kitkat arrived anyways.

I just got the update too. The stock text app no longer reverts back to the top of the chain when going from portrait to landscape and then backing out to see what someone wrote. The only issue I ever had with the phone. Now I am in love.....

Can you guys confirm if you can change 3rd party sms apps as your default messaging app (evolve sms, textra etc)? Supposedly this is a Kitkat feature but I dunno if it only applies to stock. That's one of the things I'm looking forward to.

I upgrade today 4.4.2 Kit Kat on my LG G2 stock AT&T. I'm using Go SMS paid version, it's working fine.

Yes when you run a third party messaging app you'll see an option to make it your default on the app. If you go back to the stock app or another, it will also ask you... like browser wars.
I have found though that the ATT Messaging app now supports group messaging with this kitkat update... so I no longer need Textra.

In all honesty, I'm pretty unimpressed with what I've seen so far. Slight cosmetic differences in fonts and such. A little smoother in screen trasnsistions. I think I need to do the dreaded FDR, my battery life seems to have taken a slight dip from usual. We'll see what happens
