I know there are numerous members including myself, that have updated to KK 4.4.2, and just experienced nothing but crap, in comparison to 4.3, which we cannot go back to. But, luckily there is a Galaxy Note 3/Galaxy S4/Nexus 5 god somewhere. They have heard our complaints about the srewed-up update released, and are currently working on the fix, which will be named 4.4.3. This update will fix numerous issues, involving the most talked about, camera and data drops......ps. connection drops, etc. I've read they are currently testing the update, so in other words, they jumped right on it. I hqve been suffering from the 4.4.2 sickness every since the update, wishing I could, or someone find a way to go back to 4.3. I just recently updated my Galaxy S 4, not aware of the troubles, but didnt run full testing method to ensure that I respected the update. I just immediately fell In love with the smoothness and speed, unaware of the crap under the covers. And then I got bold and updated my Beast of Hardware, the Note 3...........and was overwhelmed by the lack of tlc of the update. But threw all the rebooting, the battery pulls, the waiting for sitez to load, the non responsive buttons, they are working to fix this horrible experience. Thanks you Android for wasting time, but at least aorking to fix the problems. Upon release of the fix, I cant wait to see the sweetness the Dev's bring to the table with the new OS fix.

Will 4.4.3 allow third party apps to write to the SD card again like in 4.3? If so I'm game!
Everything I posted in my previous post happened to me. I don't know about sd writing, but like all others, it should. See what I mean, I had to reboot just respond on these comments.

The bootloader is unlocked. Even on 4.4.2. The qfuse won't let you downgrade the bootloader, but it's unlocked. I have the 4.4.2 bootloader with TWRP 2.7.0.0 and running leanKernel, so obviously it's not locked.

Back when 4.4.2 was released a member here that works for Samsung said when it would be released and it was released on the exact day he said it was. He also said another update was already in the works for May so it is no surprise that another should be hitting before long.

Before everyone starts berating you for not installing another rom, I installed goldeneye and it was fine for a bit and got terrible lag on the home screen and app drawer. So I went back to rooted stock again. Only rom for my phone that is smooth.
Okay one of these thread whining about t mobile updates just got locked. Can we not start a new one?
If you want updates now, root your phone and update it to your heart's content. That is what XDA is here for.
If you want to stay stock for whatever reasons and complain about a lack of updates, do it on the t mobile forums. They have forums there that are monitored by people who might actually listen and do something about it. There are zero people from t mobile reading this thread.

I got the opposite - lag with stock and not with custom ROM's (and kernels) like Wicked and Omega.

why take the OTA? if you have s-off why not just flash a 4.3 rom?
This my friend only matters for those that bought a phone after 4.3 is released... First... Soff and unlocked and rooted should NEVER take an ota, cause it could (prob just fail) brick you... Second, if you like stock, I'm sure it will be only a matter of hours before someone releases a flashable HTC stock ROM that will update you... Really, as long as you put cwm recovery on your phone, and only flash Roms thought it, you have nothing to worry about whatsoever...

ATT just tried to push an OTA update to my Note 2. I don't know what is in this update. I suspect it is 4.3. At least one of the local dealers told me they expected it any day. Unfortunately, with my rooted phone and missing some ATT bloatware, ATT OTA updates always fail for me. They download OK. But when they try to install it fails.
Did anyone else get this update? Do you know what it is?
I will probably just take one of the 4.3 (or 4.4) ROMs from here. But I am curious what it is.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Yes I am stock and rooted. But I have deleted a bunch of the ATT Bloatware. My understanding is that updates won't install without some of that stuff. Apparently it checks during the update process. I don't really want to reinstall all that junk just to get the updates.

The S4 Actives had the same problem when we all went to a pre-release firmware... Could download current firmware OTA but failed on install. Only solution was to go to the Samsung rep at best buy to force the update (with their secret software).
Any idea of the size of the update that's being pushed?

Remember that the phone checks for updates using the AT&T servers, if you are not using an AT&T sim, you wont be able to get the update. I would just load a custom 4.3 TW rom, which I'm sure are a lot better than the crap AT&T releases.

My Nexus 5 screen is cracked and I found a Note 3 for the same price of a new Nexus 5. I don't like TouchWiz and was wondering if I can put vanilla Android on it. If so, what are the disadvantages? Would I get updates just like the Nexus 5?
Root and flash an aosp Rom like slim or cm11. the only disadvantages to this is you trip Knox and nfc does not work. You won't get updates like the nexus line but when the developers put out an update you can just flash the new update.

I could have sworn Knox was tripped on my wife's Note 3, but then I installed Xposed and it fixed it and she was able to update.
What features would I be missing? Would the camera still be just as good? I know there's an s-pen app out, so I could still use that.
