Does anyone have an inside scoop of when verizon is going to release the 4.4.4 update that other carriers started pushing a couple weeks ago. Not looking foe an exact date, Just an idea if it's going to be weeks or months.

Samsung isn't going to release proprietary information to the general public. When all the testing is completed by the FCC, Samsung, Hardware manufacturers and the carrier the device is used, then and only then is the update ready to be announced and pushed to the devices.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

And if they didn't like the OS it got send back to manufacture, I can remember though on my Droid Razr Maxx back when ICS was moving up to Jelly Bean on the first OS build I seen some sprint like apps on it and until the Second update build came out thought I'd share that..  Below is the some Facts on Android over the Last years.. b

if you dont know the answer, Mr. Helper, why cop an attitude, and give false information, when they were asking a simple question. if you dont have the answer, then there is no need for your response. you help nobody, unless you work for verizon, i would say you should not answer the questions. leave it to the employees who actually know what they are speaking of.

Yea I see you got 2 likes. Sorry guys I did nothing wrong so whatever. PROVE it. Sorry for ANSWERING questions I didn't see to 2 people giving likes making an effort t help. Hmmm.  No good deed goes unpunished as the saying goes.

You guys can keep talking about process all you want.   THE UPDATE HAS BEEN RELEASED.   If you don't know when Verizon is going to finish "testing" the code, then you don't have to answer.

Just because its on other devices doesn't mean it's finished. Samsung isn't transparent. There are different teams for different model numbers. They all don't use the same code especially the RIL and HAL.

Look at HTC for manufacturer transparency. They show you exactly at what process they are on and certification process takes the longest(FCC, WIFI, Bluetooth, and Qualcomm for CDMA radios) and carrier testing actually takes the shortest on average. Since Samsung isn't transparent they can hide behind blanket statements something which HTC, and Motorola no longer do because of their update transparency. You can tell when they are lying.

Oh and just by putting an app into the system folder automatically makes it uninstallable. You need root access to do anything in that folder.

Just stating why they can't be removed. They could put it in the app folder but then a FR would delete the app regardless if you wanted it gone or not.

They could have a system image recovery then people would complain about it taking up space.

No matter how they did it they'll always be complaints. So they might as well pick one and stick with it.
