galaxy note 3 kitkat update

Anonymous — Sun, 09 Feb 2014 15:02:09 GMT

Hi all,

I was just wondering if there is any idea when the galaxy note 3 may get the kitkat update?

I am happy enough now but the newer version should stop some of the lag.

Many thanks

It will depend if you are on O2 or Samsung firmware.
Samsung have already started the roll out to their own phones (country by country) so expect it any day now.
If O2 branded it usually follows around a month after the general UK release.

If you are interested I can email you the customer consultation guide that we put together listing the changes.

That would be great if you could.

How can I tell if mine is o2 bundled? I ordered it over the phone with customer service so assume this is what I have hanks

Thanks for the welcome too.

When you switch it on does it come up with the O2 logo at boot up if so it is O2 branded

Dial *#1234# and if your CSC contains "o2u" you are on O2 firmware.

Yes they do tend to take there time O2 and for no good reason really

O2 promised they would be more transparent with software updates, so maybe one of the Social Media Team will comment.....?

Hopefully it will get priority attention.

I do like android but the fact that only nexus uses stock version means getting the shiny new software can take an age. I remember the jellybeans roll out on the galaxy s3 feeling like eternity.

Please o2 take this update serious!!!!!

My choice of poison is iOS.

O2 have no say.

Going by previous updates s4 for example I think it will be at least a month or two before you get it

I used to be an avid apple person but got sick of the restrictions.

Android offers greater flexibility and I like the widgets. This is just my opinion though
