ATT non-KItKat update today?

selmerdave · Feb 25, 2014

Seems to be a new Kernel or something. Can't find any info about it, anyone know?

No idea, and I haven't received anything, but Wifi and Data are now off. If I find out what the update is, and I don't mind it, wifi will go back on. When I ave the time (later this evening), the phone gets rooted, which usually kills any OTA updates.

I'm downloading the update now. It is about 38.47 MB in size.
I'll report what I detect after doing or completing the update in about 30 minutes if it gets done that fast.

TomAGibb · Feb 25, 2014

So, here is a screen capture post update. The only thing I see that may have updated is the 'Kernel'.
So far, not behavior issue to report, but it has just barely finished the update.
I'll keep you posted as the day goes on.

OK, still no visible or other impact to performance. Battery still nice and solid and no significant performance degradation that I can detect.

Hoping this proves true: Just got off the phone with AT&T kitkat update note 3 coming tomorrow - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com

Stupid question from a newbie but how did you know your phone had an update? I went into my settings and checked for updates and have nothing to update. I have AT&T as well. Help?

It would show in your notification panel..

Stang70Fastback · Feb 26, 2014

I had to do the manual check for it to appear.

I_Am_Me · Feb 26, 2014

Still nothing

Now it says I am not allowed to check for another 15 hours.

Wow these carriers do go to town don't they, the guys that didn't want to update their Note 2 to 4.3 software were constantly reminded over and over, to the point that it became a pain in the @$$. Now if you actually 'want' to update your Note 3 you can only check a limited amount of times lol.

Kit Kat will update via kleiss (spelling) for ATT

This has been standard on Samsung phones since the Galaxy S (1), it has nothing to do with the Note 3.

If you're up to date they don't want you clogging the networks checking every 15 minutes.

As far as the KK update being done over Kies, that would be an illegal tie-in - it would require you to have a computer to get the update (or download Kies Air, which is also an illegal tie-in.) It will be done over the air, the same as all updates and, unfortunately, I don't think we'll be given the option of installing it or not. (If we are, mine doesn't get installed until at least a few months with no screams go by. I'm a VERY late adopter - I let everyone else take he risk.)

ATT non-KItKat update today?
