Anyone got the 4.4.2 KitKat upgrade already?

As all of us know the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 is Officialy on the Samsung list of devices to be upgraded to 4.4.2 Android KitKat.

The only thing we don`t know is when it will happen, how long we have to wait?

Untill its pushed by the carrier there really isnt a time line really

The press release says "select carrier variants." I realize that means not all carriers will choose to push the update, but what about the WiFi-only variety of the Tab 3? How would it get access to the update?

Ok, it wasn't 4.4.2, rather a smaller update adding knox and fixing wifi connectivity issues. The new software version is T217SVPUANB8

Here is what sprint said changed:
Location Menu: An integrated location menu enables users to easily activate GPS, Wi-Fi and mobile networks, while simultaneously checking the battery usage of apps running location service capabilities.
Enhanced Messaging: Hangouts now includes SMS and MMS and a larger assortment of updated Emoji icons.
Upgraded Google Mobile Service

After upgrading to kitkat, 'increase legibility' is not available any more and is missing.
It was previously under settings>display and helps enhance clarity of display and fonts.
Have you experienced this issue or any solution ?

The tab 3 comes with 4.1.2 installed... and plus it's probably just an old update.

I just bought one from Sprint and it has 4.2.2. Where can I find out if it is KitKat? I tried the Kingo Root and it failed.

Update: Got OTA the following day to 4.4.2!

BREAKING!!! Sprint releases KitKat for Galaxy tab 3 7.0 SM-T217S
This will be nearly a 500mb file. Make sure your tablet is charged and enjoy! I am at 75% now!

What about an update for the WiFi only version? Now that Sprint owners are getting it, does this mean WiFi only people should be getting it soon?

We all hope so.

Yes got it lastnight

DionWhite33 · Jun 10, 2014

Still waiting for them to get to my Samsung devices but yes my Nexus 7 did get one last night!

engelke · Jun 10, 2014

All of my other devices are Apple. Can someone please explain to me why there is absolutely no ETA on when other Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 users (WiFi like me) would get KitKat? I would think getting it to WiFi only would be easier than an LTE one.

Use this method for your Samsung tab

engelke · Jun 11, 2014

I know I am a fairly new user of an Android tab, but I thought I couldn't download something for a different tablet than my Galaxy Tab 3 7.0.

They are slow when they roll out these updates. ETAs are never announced until the day before through leaks and forums like this.

(I'm waiting for a rooted version myself because OTA updates generally suck)
