I noticed this on Sprint's RDF feed for their devices:
Code:
<prf:SoftwareNumber>T217SVPUBNC9</prf:SoftwareNumber>
<prf: OSVersion>4.4.2</prf: OSVersion>
So it appears that the T217S will get 4.4 in the next couple of months.
I think only u.s version will get kitkat

For me it's been a while away from the non iphone scene, I happened to wonder if I could upgrade my Tab3 7" today and was reading plenty of news about it being available soon (from articles posted in February). A quick poke around and it seems that it's not released yet and I figure I may as well ask since I don't know.
What's the release schedule around these things usually like? IE how long from "announced" to actually available?
Is the firmware for Tab devices geo-specific? IE is the Australian launch different to the US etc?
(I understand for the phones it's likely to be very carrier dependant)
I think that's all for now.

If you have a Sprint Tab 3 7.0, then expect an update somewhere between now and two months. That is just a guess but that is how firmware for my Galaxy S3 has worked. Sprint updates the RDF feed and then about two months later it gets released.
For other Tab 3's, no idea.

Samsung is notorious for being one of the worst manufactures out there when it comes to updating their budget products. I wouldn't hold my breath on a April release, I expect the Tab 4 to be available for purchase before you'll see it. The Tab 3 7" will also probably be the last one to get it and will most likely be the last major update you will ever get, I would bet money on it. I'm actually surprised Samsung is even updating the Tab 3 7" as their track record for releasing new Android versions for their cheaper models is not good. Yes, the update is carrier specific for the LTE models and won't see the light of day for at least a month or two after the WiFi models are updated, if at all.
In the future I would stay away from Samsung's budget line, it's already been a year since version 4.3 was released without it ever reaching the Tab 3 line and now almost 6 months and counting for 4.4.2.
To be fair I only got this device to run torque pro in the car (which is does just fine). As an appliance it's great! Now I'm just tinkering because I'm bored
Although I'm also temped to trade in the iPhone for an android based phone and while I understand it's low powered this was going to be a taste of the new OS I'd be getting.
i bought tab 3 2100 since i needed a 7 inch tab with phone capability, my first choice was any google tab but there is no phone capability in them so therefore i bought it.. and i think Samsung wont give kitkat update unless they release tab 4 with kitkat ... this is their way of making money !
Hey all im a noob to the site thanks for having me here just a question im in the uk and have the tab 3 8" 16gb im just wondering when the kitkat update will be released for the tab 3 im not sure if i will have t do t manually or it will automatically update does anybody have this update yet many thanks :good:

It's barely even a year old so well within the supposed 18 month window, just wait until they have the Tab 4's out then they will likely release it after those have been out a while so as not to interfere with their sales.
It's been said as much that the Tab 3's are in line to receive the 4.4 KitKat update, they may well only end up releasing it for the 8.0, 10.0 & the Sprint version of the 7.0
So until Samsung out right say it's not getting it, then it's coming.

Yeah it's listed on their own site, although they don't specify which models.
The Note 8.0 just got KitKat (also on that list) pretty much out of the blue the other week, I will be very surprised if the Tab 8.0 (& I guess 10.0) don't get it, it's the 7.0 I'd be more doubtful about.
Tab 3 8.0 has 1.5GB RAM, it shouldn't really be an issue, but I think it's time Samsung trimmed their bloatware down, I use none of it.
cousin's almost new tab 3 8.0 is showing a weird problem.
sometimes the screen stop responding and only way is to press power to turn off screen and back on and touch starts working again.
what you guys think, a hardware problem in line or just a software glitch.
tab is full stock and not been rooted.

This old post is very funny. Speculation was no update for Tab 3 and S3 but I JUST updated S3 to KitKat and soon Tab 3 will have it too!
UK and France just got OTA KitKat and soon US will too.
Just funny to see.

THe 4.4.2 runs well. Also the AOSP versions of 4.4.4 work fine too.
If its ok, could you please give an overview of the new rom, what's new and whats missing from the old rom that might make someone consider whether to upgrade or not. This site is fantastic, one thing that is usually difficult though is finding basic rom change related info , more often than not its how to root a new rom with no details of the changes, and some people are only cosidering change. Thanks. (I believe side loading flashplayer is now impossible ?) Thanks again.
Google has announced new Android "L" yesterday... will it come to our Note3 Neo???:fingers-crossed:

it won't most probably.. sammy doesn't give more than one major update to phones which aren't flagships (S & note series- not Neo)..
we'll get KitKat within the next couple of months hopefully! then we will be dependent on devs for further updates.
PS- next android version is lollipop if I'm not wrong..

Didn't watch the google I/O.. gotta check it out!
Android L with touchwiz, I don't think would be a great combination.
it will be updated i think
It will be updated to l i think beacuse it was launched in feb and there is google policy for 18 months and it was launched with 38k price tag and note 2 is discontinued at that place
n3n is selling it is not finalized yet but i will be finalized later i think take a look at screenshot.

it is good in nexus 5 and waiting for ours..
I sometimes wish that I hadn't bought this phone . I could never whole heartedly enjoy my phone since somewhere I knew there are very few chances of this phone being updated. I still wonder how samsung manages to still sell so much without timely updates for all of its devices. Not buying samsung again probably for the next few years until I see an improvement
Will stick to sony or Motorola or nexus series next time
This phone would no way get updated to Android L this year. May be six months from now in 2015 after Note 3 gets updated .
Even Nexus devices (Nexus 5) no longer get updates quick . It's all a matter of time
Are we going to get it before Note 5 comes out?

Most likely. The reason why the Note 4 is getting the update so late, is because the Samsung VR has to also be capable with the Lollipop update. Also, I believe that Samsung, and also carriers, are looking at other devices (such as the Galaxy S5) to see what bugs need fixing before releasing it to the Note 4. My guess for a good release date would be this month. But no later than April (that's when the Galaxy S6 comes out). I hope I helped.
Now What?
Samsung has released Lollipop for the Note 4, Sprint already has it and ATT is pushing it out now. VZW last again, any idea what the hold up is now?

Me thinks you answered your own question.
This would require someone here to have a crystal ball...
https://www.sammobile.com/news/galaxy-z-fold-3-public-android-12-one-ui-4-0-update-is-out-now/
looks like it's only in S Korea at the moment.
I won version f-926n can't receive push.
I'm really hoping someone can confirm that camera still works on bootloader unlock with stable a12
Will Verizon be the last to get it in the US?

True but they would have no inclination to do so.
I'm hoping the U1 US unlocked model comes early in the process.

Well, I'm on AT&T so I'm sure I'll be last. grr...
I am still guessing VZW will be last. Never been on AT&T.
I've been outta the game for a while, but can't we just download the firmware if the push hasn't come through yet?
Edit - just checked SamMobile and the image isn't posted.

This must be the issue my source couldn't identify precisely. Looks like Samsung still hasn't managed to fix this -.- Same **** went down with the Note 8 when it got its first major Android update. Guess we'll get the final proper update between Christmas and NYE.
Yeah, this update is BAAAAAAAAAAD sauce. I will wait until they fix things.

Samsung has temporarily stopped the release of update. So you don't have to worry, once they fixed it then they will continue to release it again.
So now mid January. ;-)

Well if samsung is fast enough they will hopefully have it fixed soon so the roll out can resume and so we can get the update in December and not January. Since their list does show planned release for fold 3 and flip 3 is december 2021.
