Is this 4.4.2 or were we lucky enough to get the fixed 4.4.3? I know that's hoping for a lot from Sammy and AT&T...but one can hope

You're welcome..
I'll bet it fixes it..
There is now a camera icon on the lock screen...
For sure volume is very noticably louder.. Much!

Any one know how to reset the 'Wait' period for the software update check. I've got to wait 8 hour, bummer!!!!

Or depending on your reports, maybe that's a good thing?

dan330 · Mar 27, 2014

any issues?
thinking about rooting.. not sure if I want to take the upgrade.. may have made it harder to root

trparky · Mar 27, 2014

Go to Time and Date in the Settings, uncheck the checkbox to get time from the network, and then advance the date by one day. Check for updates again and it should check for the update.

TomAGibb · Mar 27, 2014

Thanks, that worked like a charm. Download is running now.

I hadn't thought about that, sometimes the simplest things come back to haunt us!

Also, I was able to go back and reset immediately the device to update the time via the 'Network' and it now has my normal time.

Still downloading now and at 25%.

OK, so the update has completed and I don't detect any anomalies related to performance and behavior.

If anything happens, I'll be sure to report it.

pdqgp · Mar 27, 2014

The main thing for me is that it fixed the dropping GPS Issue that has plagued AT&T Note 3 users. So far it's perfect. Phone is slightly more snappy too.

Reggie3 · Mar 27, 2014

Just upgraded. Seems faster
Very surprised it was done through ATT. All previous upgrade was Kies

Hsaltz · Mar 27, 2014

Just installed it and all is fine so far. Not sure what's not supposed to work but I can get to all my files on my sd card. Don't really like the white battery icon compared to the green, don't know why they changed it.

Rukbat · Mar 27, 2014

I've seen one report on XDA that if you put SuperSU in survival mode you'll retain root. But that's one report. With all the differences in how the update sorks or doesn't, I wouldn't take that as Gospel.

You people keep playing with the update. But until Kingo or someone else comes out with a root for 4.4.2 (or preferably 4.4.3) and Safestrap for it, I'll stay with 4.3.

The only reason I can see for upgrading (I knew hoe much RAM it had when I bought it) is the GPS problem, and I only lose lock in one spot - as I leave the development - but I get it back in a block or two, so it's not a big issue for me. Being rooted and being able to try different ROM arrangements easily are.

trparky · Mar 27, 2014

Does anyone have an official changelog?

Ezekiel666 · Mar 27, 2014

I have a AT&T note 3 and I was on a friend's family plan. Supposedly they said the bill was $1200 for a month so he didn't pay the bill. This phone is paid off and I had the phone unlocked. I went to to the update and it downloaded and when it restarted it said the update failed and I'm still on the same 4.3 software. Am I screwed on getting kitkat now?

1. Supposedly? He could not get it corrected?

2. You might be able to get it via.. Kies

3. Root it.. Get other kit Kat flavored ROMs

Has anyone that has updated to kitkat get their google wallet tap n pay to work?

clitrenta · Mar 28, 2014

Got mine last night so haven't had much time to check it out. For me, I hope it fixes WiFi issues. Lets all report back here as the day goes on to any noticeable differences - good or bad. I did get the much desired update to S Note. I had vs 1.0 before the update and now have 3.1. What happened to all the stuff in between? :thinking:

Glad I have it though because it was the source of much discussion recently. Stay tuned....

clitrenta · Mar 28, 2014

Well I can say with certainty that the update has definitely made my phone louder. I was just talking to the hubby and I thought it was on speaker it was so loud. Will have to check that out. Crazy

I agree. Thought it was just me at first.

NJRonbo · Mar 28, 2014

Question...

Just downloaded the new update.

Was a bit disappointed to see 4.4.2

Isn't the latest KitKat 4.4.3?

Any reason why AT&T Note 3 owners did not get that version?

Thanks

Rukbat · Mar 28, 2014

4.4.3 was rumored to be the fix for the camera eating the battery under certain conditions. If it was fixed in 4.4.2 there won't be a 4.4.3 (at least not for that fix). If not, we'll have another update one of these days. (The only thing that seemed to trigger it was Skype, and Skype came out with a fix, so it's probably not an issue any more anyway - so AT&T might not waste time "fixing" it.)
