Galaxy S4 4.3 update

[Teklord]

Can we please get a update as to when we are going to get the 4.3 update? I see others getting updates but  why not us?

[ed_karjala]

I just checked manually and am now installing the update

[Ann154]

That update isn't for Android 4.3 OS. It is some bug fixes and remains on 4.2.2 for the Android version.

[Teklord]

Correct

[newvalve]

I just installed the 4.2.2 update that was available and battery life has taken a huge hit - I used to be 35-40% at the end of the day (9pm), now I generally have to charge by 5pm after an overnight charge.  I realize I'm about to hijack this thread to a different topic, but, this place seems as good as any to get some advice/answers

Still Waiting Verizon!!!!!

[fyrfyter]

You are not really expecting an answer are you? Not like they care about us, since they already sold us phones. I plan on this being my last phone from VZW. Need a Nexus device to avoid slow updates.

[japetty]

I have a nexus tablet and everyone there is waiting and complaining they are not getting KitKat 4.4 it never stops.  The only device I have which I don't hear complaints about updates is the one with CM10 and it is the best device I have at this time.

How about this for funny this was a chat I had with verizon REP yesterday:

One of there reps told me (in a chat) that today was the day the 4.3 update was coming to the Galaxy S4... Maybe aditional training would be good for your CS Reps with all the money your taking in service charges that are widely inflated...

I talked to a rep and she said that I have to wait at least 24 hours for the update.

New update 4.3 Coming out for the 28th as per samsung

[japetty]

This appears to be when Samsung is releasing to VZW, now is VZW just goes along with the schedule and lets it move on out to the end user.  Don't think I will hold my breath till it happens though.  Hope for the best case scenario.

[fyrfyter]

No, this looks like the actual rollout, since they are updating for Samsung Gears support. I am guessing it is staggered since the servers would not be able to roll the software to all the devices at once. It is most likely setup based upon # of devices per carrier and who is making Sammy the most money.

If it takes this long, my S4 will likely be a year old before it sees Kit Kat 4.4.

[japetty]

This is not an announcement by VZW and VZW will announce the update or it maybe won't happen when you think.  Until VZW announces the UPDATE it is just a rumor.

[japetty]

The announcement via VZW can be found here:  http://www.verizonwireless.com/news.html  when it happens at least all in the past I know of have been at this location.

[fyrfyter]

Keep telling yourself that. I just looked through that site, and I cannot find any article referencing the last update to my S4 to Baseband VRUDMI1, which just came out. Furthermore, it is not showing any updates including the recent iOS 7 update. I don't think that site is worth anything.

Android 4.3 update is being released tomorrow for the Verizon Galaxy S4.

Extra info:

S4: 10/28

Note2: 11/29

S3: 11/22

that is a leak and im sure it is subject to change. given verizon's history of updates i will believe it when i see that is up and im downloading it. until then we get the update when we get it.

[devpritch]

To all of you who are dying to get this update like myself. look here at the official samsung website.

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/faq/FAQ00053691/63340/SCH-I545ZKAVZW#

According to this Verizon is keeping their promise. As to when exactly today, we don't know.

[snakes200]

yeah i keep plugging in and checking and nothing as of yet. Im hoping it is up and ready for download when i get home from work tonight.
