4.4 Kitkat update

[Anonymous]

Anyone know when this will happen for the s4? Prob not for awhile but just curious

Main phone is an HTC One but I'm looking at the LG curve now it's come down in price a bit.
I'm still holding on to my old S3 though as it's still a tough phone to beat - I keep on trying different ROM's and it's as fast as anything else on the market

The htc one does look good. Isn't the s3 only 1gb of ram?

[MI5]

Yes the regular 3G S3 is but I have the 4G version with 2Gb of RAM

The issue will not be with the manufacturer it will be with o2. Took o2 4 months longer to get the 4 3 update out which is a disgrace. Dont expect anything different this time round. my guess it june 2014.

Yes correct, as we have already established with an official statement on the previous page from O2 and the fact that unbranded phones already have the update.....

O2 prefer to hold back and test the updates to make sure they are fit for purpose before releasing them. All networks are the same and I read the same comments on the EE forum......

Think you will find it took o2 longer than any other network to get 4.3 out. over 2 months in fact and it was due to o2 bloatware not testing. poor network and very slow updates are the reason im leaving when contract is up.

haha nice. I was thinking of going to another provider too tbh, o2 is too slow for everything. we still haven't got 4g in Aberdeen yet and they lack reception up in thurso too. still got another year till my contract is up so will see how it goes then

A live chat representative confirmed to me today that the 4.4 update for the Galaxy S4 will be released before the launch date of the S5.

"[11:44:13 AM] O2 : Ferris: We don't have any exact date Mathew but it 
will be very soo
[11:44:15 AM] O2 : Ferris: soon
[11:45:12 AM] Matthew: Before or after the S5 launch date? Would be 
pointless upgrading to 4.4 after launch as I'll be upgrading to the S5
[11:46:19 AM] O2 : Ferris: It will be before s5 launch"

It is already released.
