Hi guys, Samsung are rolling out Android 4.4.4 to their mobile devices. But I have not seen any reports of that update for our Tab S or even the Tab Pro. Any news on this?
And what specific changes did Samsung add to Touch-wiz in this update (to the devices it's been released on).
Thanks
A new Samsung Galaxy S5 Android 4.4.4 KitKat update is hitting the phone to solve problems and also to prepare it for the upcoming Voice over LTE technology.
The Android Kitkat updates have been hitting the phones of major carriers but the last several either caused new bugs or didn’t solve all of them, prompting the 4.4.4.
“One of the devices that’s in the midst of an Android 4.4.4 KitKat update push is the Samsung Galaxy S5. Just about a week ago, the Galaxy S5 Android 4.4.4 KitKat update hit the Verizon Galaxy S5. The update was a bit of a surprise given how slow Verizon typically is to Android updates. The update’s change log was never publicized though there’s chatter about it fixing a Bluetooth issue. Today though, Verizon is rolling out a bunch larger Android 4.4.4 KitKat build,” according to Gotta Be Mobile.
The new update includes fixing the problem of an incorrect number of unread emails on the notification screen, and audio of the Bluetooth headset, and a camera shutters sound issue.
More tracking features have also been added to the S-Health, including Weight, Sleep, Stress, and Coach.
The update also includes tech that prepares the device for the upcoming VoLTE technology, which enables calls to sound better and clearer while having users talk on the phone while being able to use the Internet at the same time.
While Verizon’s S5 is the first model to get the 4.4.4., the other models are expected to receive it soon.
Meanwhile, some variants of the Galaxy S4, Galaxy Tab 3 and Galaxy Tab 4 have been getting the Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware recently.
The latest Google Android build is Android 4.4.4 KitKat, but that is only coming out for the very latest Samsung devices such as the Galaxy Alpha and the Galaxy Note 4–and the Galaxy S5–at present.
In the United States, Sprint are working on releasing the Android 4.4.4 KitKat for the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S5, while T-Mobile could be rolling out the update for the Galaxy S4.
Some United Kingdom carriers and Optus in Australia could also be making the update available for the Galaxy S5 and Galaxy S5 LTE-A.
Samsung could eventually release the Android 4.4.4 KitKat update to its other phones, but at present, Samsung users will have to stick with a slightly older Android build.

You're not even serious LOL. the Tab S had only been out 3 months. Samsung has been known to update their devices up to 2 years out from release.

This is their flagship device. I'm very confident we'll see the L Preview and their next iteration of the "L", after that.

Agreed. Looking forward to it.
That was a nice joke
My guess also is that Samsung will skip directly to L for the Tab S. They don't do frequent updates, that's true. So why would they bother with a relatively insignificant interim update?
I've been eyeing the Galaxy 10.5 for a while and have been vacillating between it and the Nvidia Shield. Nvidia seems to already have released an update for the Shield as owners of the wifi version got Lollipop for it recently. Meanwhile, it's been said that the 10.5 won't get Lollipop until early next year.
So I'm curious. Has Samsung been known to be proactive about getting updates to their tablets in a timely manner and for at least 2 years from each line's release date?
Thanks in advance!
Well Samsung takes a while to get updates out. Ussally 3-4 months after a release after an new os.
Fwiw we're still on 4.4.2. We'll probably never see 4.4.4' hopefully there'll be lollipop.
Slow
I have the 8.4 inch Samsung galaxy tab S running 4.4.2 and the Galaxy Note 4 running 4.4.4. I don't expect I will receive lollipop for either device in 2014(from what I have researched online) however there appears to be a lot of online developers that assist in bringing forward greater roms and mods for us to use on our devices. You can always use this website to keep in contact with the latest firmware (official) :
live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=SM-T700
You can view on that website ALL official Samsung firmware. For some devices you can even install a firmware for a different region to where your device is located (but make sure to do your homework / research beforehand)

What do you think how reliable is this source? According to this sheet we will get 5.0 in march to april.
Samsung has hell of a lot work to do. Because they have uncountable number of midrange devices. :laugh:
S4 Mini, S5 Mini, Galaxy A3, A5, A7, E5, E7, Grand 2, Note 3 Neo to name a few.
But certainly S4 mini and s5 mini will get in 2nd quarter of this year. :good: Once S6 is launched world wide.
http://www.androidsilverprogram.com/2014/07/List-Of-Smartphones-Getting-Android-L-update.html
At the bottom of the page is a list including the S4 Mini as well.
Although I still haven't received the 4.4.2 update in my region yet
Hoping for good things though :fingers-crossed:
Waiting........
Yup. Been checking every month this year and I haven't seen anything promised later than April. So it's crunch time! Really hoping it'll happen soon, I'm terribly annoyed by the limitation apps have writing to the sd card in any location other than their own folder. You all think that this will be different in lollipop?
i hope we get the 5.1 version straight, because 5.0 has issues
I hope this update.
Otherwise, i choose another manufacturer after years with Samsung.
I gave up the S5 Mini after realizing that has problems such as low-quality recordings (sounds captured with mic) compared the S4 Mini and the camera gets to be lower.
If this update happen I stand with Samsung and I will try a S6 Mini . Otherwise i give up Samsung.

S5 mini is a horrible device. No custom roms, no dev support because it has no source code, uses poor chipset and is priced like it is the best phone ever.
No wonder the price of that phone came down by 130$ in India within 20days of its launch.
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...l-5-0-release-date-when-can-i-get-it--1257804
Other Samsung handsets may have to wait a little longer, although we'd expect that most high profile devices released in the last 18 months to 2 years will get the update, including the Galaxy S4 Mini and the Galaxy S5 Mini.
Let's hope the first release hasnt got all the issues the S4 firmware has/had.
Guys can anyone tell me if the stock lollipop , incase it exists, will have sdcard issues? Do i have to use sdfix or foldermount again??

with this middle-end phone ,i don't think at all ( at 100%) that these A series 2017 will have this big O 8.x update in the future ...
it will be reserved for note8 ,s8 (s8,s8+,s8edge)...and future note9 ,s9 series, A series 2018 & J series 2018....and "maybe" s7 (but i don't think so !!!!)

I've read an article before that we A7 2017 users will have a Oreo update.
I believe that A 2017 series will get oreo due to the fact that A 2016 series got nugat.
@kukom6 @Jubremelle
i have said my opinion ,because Samsung is not great at all with android ...but i hope that i'm totaly wrong and you tell the truth .
Nougat is jusy released ,the begining of a veeeryyyy looooong time and many future updates with this android... :silly:
But there are one thing very very irritating !!!! : there are N 7.1.2 released (and eventual future others).....and Samsung as usual, have a very big chance to stay all the time with N 7.0 on theirs phones !!!!!!
Samsung and some others manufacturers don't like Android at all ... it's just a free open-source support for to save money and don't spend energy to develop a phone operating system ...and generalize the Playstore and the big business of apps development ...
Samsung have their habit to upgrade the OS only once, and move on to the next model. companies benefits themselves, not their customers. this is how economics works.
Samsung hate the existance of custom roms, such as Lineage OS, Omni, etc. they hate the fact that a customer can extend his phone life cycle, instead of buying a new shiny phone.
Samsung only publish their source code due to obligation to Google.
I used to have a Galaxy S2 which was a flagship, and originally came with Android 2.3.7, then they released an upgrade to 4.1.2, which was so bad and buggy, and couple of months later they released the Galaxy S3, which caused the S2 to die immediately in terms of support.
So... no. no official Oreo from samsung for you guys.
So, how you explain that Samsung release Marshmallow and then Nugat for A3 2016 which was in the same position (f.e. as A3 2017 now) ? I think that two major updates (nugat, oreo) for A3 are real but with a time delay (of course, a3 will be at the end of the portfolio for update).
But still, It's only my opinion.
Up till now, not all region got Nougat update yet and you ask for Oreo? it all depends on Samsung decision, but in reality just wait
Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk
We will get Oreo, 2016 series got Nougat, so there is no reason, that we wont have an Oreo update. The real question is: how it will run.
There are 2 major Android upgrades for each Samsung phones. We only got one. So yes, we will get Oreo. They haven't finished it for the S8, so don't count on it before at least a year, since we only got 7 now.
Hi guys.
The Note 10 series is already in quarterly updates except for the lite model.
The reason for this thread is to make a joint request to Samsung to consider that the update to android 13 is not limited only to lite models.
A petition was created for it and all those interested in participating with their signature are welcome.
Thank you very much to all.

LOL, try smacking your head against the wall instead. This has been a constant thing since the dawn of Android.
Samsung WON'T upgrade the Note 10/Plus to Android 13 simply because it will bite into their sales....
They want you to get a shiny new toy, not play with that cruddy old thing you have now, and not supporting newer Android updates with all the nifty new features on your older phone is a way to make you upgrade...

Logically they want you to buy a new model. But why the lite with inferior hardware yes and not the superior ones of the same series?

It was released later.
Yes, it came out later but as one more of the note 10 series. That is the reason for the request. I understand Samsung's update policy but we are not talking about a single model, we are talking about the top-of-the-range family in its day. The stupid trend of releasing 20 models under the same name. Then these things happen and people get angry and rightly so.

Lol, why care? Android 13 might be worse than 12 especially for the Note even if Samsung did do it
I'm still running on Pie on this N975U. Current load is over 2yo, still fast and very stable with minimal maintenance. Security is not an issue... what's not to like?
Upgrades and updates can and do break Samsung's. No plans to touch my firmware as long as it's fulfilling its mission.

I respect your opinion and the decision not to update. It is true that Samsung is not always right with its updates and personally I think that one ui 4.1 and android 12 ruins the phone, it does not run smoothly, it has excessive battery consumption among other failures. But, did you try one ui 5? I'm running the beta on my s21 ultra and I think it's one of the best updates I've tried in years. Without being a final version, the improvement is very remarkable. This is another reason to ask Samsung to update all Note 10 series models. Forget one ui 4.1 and its bad optimization.

Edit.
I want to emphasize that the only thing that is required is a signature. As written in the petition, it is completely free and donations are not accepted.

Thank you. I've seen Samsung upgrades/updates break phones too many times. Any improvement that could be had by upgrading be marginal at best with my N10+'s and more likely would be detrimental.
I have two N10+'s, one running on 9, the other 10.
That's what they came loaded with. I think the Pie variant is the best of the two. Never used Android 11 or 12 because I have severe doubts about scoped storage. Don't want it.
Be interesting to see a side by side performance test between 9, 10, 11 and 12.
At this point both Samsung and Google Android are completely off the rails. No desirable new flagships from Samsung and Google is still chasing down endless rabbit holes making their OS less functional and the user a slave to cloud apps/storage. Sorry, but I see no point in even trying to reason with either company.
No Sale, they both can just f-f-fade away...
Is potentially possible to get a Custome ROM for SM-N975F like copy 1:1 from Note 20 Ultra Android 13 OUI5.0 .
Maybe creating new upgrade ROM for that phones .
there is a phone called samsung m62.it has the same chip like note 10 plus which is exynos 9825.i think android 13 port can be developed for note 10 plus.they did that with note 9 as it has the same chip as note 10 lite
Is possible to port stock original ROM A13OUI5.0 from Note 20 Ultra, which is almost the same phone without chip and some other parts but have now upgrading and is the same series Note`s .
M62 is Very old and not upgrading to A13.

Hi.
Did you read the petition and the messages? The note 10 lite is the only one that will receive one ui 5. The rest, 10, 10+, 10+ 5g will not be updated. The signatures are few and they increase very slowly and I don't know the date of the update for the lite models although I am sure that when people start to see the great improvement that android 13 and one ui 5 supposes the signatures will increase rapidly.
