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?
Now we all know that the GearVR no longer supports the use of the Note 7. But I wonder if Samsung has enable the Note FE to be used with the GearVR Seeing as the Note FE is nothing more than a refurbished Note 7 with a smaller battery.
I tried VR with the Note 7 ported rom last night and none of the software was present and it did nothing when plugged into the headset. Installed apks but no joy. Will keep you posted if I get it working.
Good news. editing build.prop > ro.build.model to "SM-G955V" (model no. for S8+) has stopped crashing of Oculus app.
Manually installing all packages has now allowed me to get into Oculus app Will try with the headset when I get home.
*edit* waiting on OTG fix from rom dev in hope it sorts the recognition.
VR does work on my Note 7 with Hydra without any issues. But change the model to a S7 edge SM-G935F because if you change it to a S8+ the Apps will think you are using a S8+ a 18.5 screen and will stretch the image! this will leave you with a wrong aspect ratio and a headache.
I'm not wondering if the original Note 7 will working with the GearVR. I wanna know if the Note FE running the stock OS will work with the GearVR. It is good to know that the original Note 7 will work with the GearVR running a custom OS
Chieco is right about what I was saying with the aspect ratio. No need to deviate from the way it was done before.
Sorry I didn't read your post properly. I think there will be issues still, like I'm having atm. As it's not supported like the note 7 you will need to root, do the build . prop fix and get the vr setupwizard apk as it won't be on the phone.

That sucks. I would have thought that Samsung would have addressed this when they released the Note FE. Seeing as the Note FE has a different model number and is running on the latest OS version

My guess would be that Oculus/Samsung couldn't be bothered or didn't want to make it easier to get it working on regular notes. This might be why the latest version crashes constantly and won't detect. I'm curious if it still works on hydra or if they patched it to not work on either note7 full stop.
Any News to use gear vr on our Note 7 with FE rom port (on hydraRom, it works...)
When will we be getting it, and which version of ONE UI will support it?
we will probably get it with One UI 4.1.1 when the new Foldables come out.
I have read that we're looking at the back half of this year for the fold and flip 4...

Samsung starts rolling out One UI 4.1 to the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3
Samsung has started rolling out the One UI 4.1 update to the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 4. Read on to know more.
www.xda-developers.com
One UI 4.1 doesn't mean, it's Android 12.1 as well, right?
If you mean android 12 L then it's coming soon. This month or the next month

No. One UI 4.1 started rolling out today. You can get the update with March security patch at any moment
I never got the February security patch.
Once Google releases it, Samsung will have to engineer it for the foldables. So you're still looking at a few months at least for that. We probably won't see it till later this year.
SOT, but got my one ui 4.1 from VZW today.
whats new in this 4.1 update for us, i cant find any video for it

u mean when it will be available?
if that check in galaxy store
https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1495672918621429762
the application is not working. cracks and closes.
When will it finally come to the Expert Raw app?
Expert Raw is still in beta and supports only the Galaxy S22 series and Galaxy S21 Ultra for now.
Supported models: Galaxy S21 Ultra, Z Fold3, Note20 Ultra, S20 Ultra, Z Fold2 (planned to be supported in the first half of 2022)
"According to an announcement made by a moderator in the Samsung Community blogpost (Korea), many Galaxy S22 camera features will come to older Galaxy S-series and Fold-series devices."
In particular, the next Expert Raw update will support Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, Z Fold 3, Note 20 Ultra, S20 Ultra, and Z Fold 2. The app may also be out of beta. Samsung may release a stable version of Expert Raw APK this month.
Expert RAW update is out, and now supports the Fold3.
Hi I wanted to ask if some modder has got his hands on the apk maybe increasing the zoom possible in a mod version
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.

A13 has just been released for m62 which has exynos 9825 like note 10 plus.it all depends now on developers

How about porting from Note 10 A13 to Note 10 Plus ?. It is possible that?.
