betting race of the “non-stock Android devices” had won Samsung thanks to the roll-out for the Galaxy Note 3, but the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S4 has not taken place to date – although a stable test firmware before weeks is leaked.

For a few days free Galaxy Note 3 devices and those with Vodafone branding honored with Android 4.4. Thus, the network operator Vodafone is once again at the forefront. Already at recently – with some “stumbling blocks” – carried out Android 4.3 update for the Galaxy S3 was Vodafone at the beginning of the party, while the other set ready network operators gradually firmware
.
When Meanwhile, the other network operators who have the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in the “Portfolio”, start with the rollout currently stands, not fixed. But there is even more to suspect that it still can “only” a matter of days or weeks.
In addition, theNote: A firmware rollout, in this case of Android 4.4 KitKat, always goes in waves across the stage to prevent overloading the server. If, as expected, will also get the Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One, LG G2 or Sony Xperia Z and Z1 the update soon, all the users are not from the beginning have access to the update.
The firmware for the Galaxy Note 3, meanwhile via PC software or gravel OTA are related (“over the air”). Weeks before round three of the rollout in Poland was started. Apparently it was to be a “trial balloon” to see if the firmware is stable. So now the launch of the rolled out worldwide – about even in Singapore or Malaysia, as Samsung announces Live updates
.
And it must be noted: The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 not only has the HTC One, Huawei Ascend P6 or Sony Xperia Z thwarted, but also the “house duel” against the Galaxy S4 decided for themselves

In France, meanwhile, is – contrary to some “hasty” messages – Android 4.4.2 KitKat for the HTC One also not yet rolled out. Since it fits well into the picture that Android 4.4.2 should be apparently rolled on Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2. An official confirmation from Samsung is still pending forever as we report below. But apparently it could be “what type” in March. This is surprising, since that Android 4.2.2 was skipped for the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 and Android 4.3 was a long time coming -. Before a stable firmware was delivered in the second roll-start

No major manufacturer is in regard to the current Google firmware is nakedness-started the rollout, meanwhile, has to date only on the stock Android devices such as the LG Nexus 5, Motorola Moto G or Google Play Editions of Samsung Galaxy S4 or HTC one, but have so far only available in the USA.
the Sony Xperia Z, Z1 or the Huawei Ascend P6 should receive the update. The LG G2, which is known to be more than “soul mates” with the LG Nexus 5 also receives the update.
some uncertainty meanwhile nor in terms of the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini and the Galaxy S4 Mini. Officially, the South Korean IT giant has not yet been made known whether the “small” mobile companion also receive the update to Android 4.4 KitKat. Owner of the Galaxy S4 Minis might have to worry less. Theoretically Android 4.4 would run on many other mobile companions, that version is still resource-saving than even Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. But which company here afraid the effort will show in the coming weeks and months.
The schedule for the rollout of Android 4.4.2, meanwhile, would provide that first 3 get the Galaxy S4 and the Galaxy Note the update, but shortly thereafter the users of the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 could be the new version of Google’s mobile operating system . play
But: Perhaps it is with the update just around a bug fix update, because: According to feedback from many users, it tweaks in Android 4.3 after the second rollout still – a first Samsung had due to too many bugs “aborted “. Since it fits into the picture, that, according to the mysterious Insiders Android 4.4 is no new software features muster. Rather, are likely to have subtle adjustments – such as the TouchWiz user interface
.
But one must not forget that Google had already declared last fall that Android 4.4 is resource-saving than Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. In this respect, this could mean that the operating system in the latest version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 a “push” are – in terms of the usability of the liquid UI. But this of course is only speculation.
: Although Android 4.4 should theoretically run on older systems without problems, informed about HTC with already, that the One X will not receive Android update more. To that extent customers of the Galaxy S3 with respect to Android 4.4 at an advantage.
But the bottom line seems clear that not only the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 will receive the update to Android 4.4.2, but also the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 The South Koreans would thus bear in mind after all the flagships of the last two years with the update. Explicitly, there is no mention to date, meanwhile, the Galaxy S4 and S3 Mini.
Well, three times may be advised which operating system – it is rumored – April probably the Samsung Galaxy S5 could come on the market, exactly: Android 4.4. Only in terms of software features Samsung probably then step up a gear on top of it.
Android 4.4 before spreadingAndroid 4.4 KitKat, in the truest sense of the word for months in “all the rage” comes according to a recent Google statistics just on a spread of 1.3 per cent market share. There are, however, considered in brief various smartphones with Android 4.4 – including the HTC one, Sony Xperia Z or Samsung Galaxy S4 – is likely to be achieved the way to the Zweistelligkeit this year
.
phablet-owner of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 can derweeil already looking forward, at least in Poland. This is probably the Android 4.4 news last week: Android 4.4.2 KitKat is distributed. How the Dutch IT Blog SamMobile announced the Android Snapdragon processor rolls 4.4 Update for the variant including Qualcomm (four cores) – the model number: SM-N9005
.
To date, the launch was apparently “only” in Poland – but this suggests that other countries in Europe to follow suit shortly. Thus, Samsung stands the LG G2, Sony Xperia Z or the HTC one. Whereby also seems Galaxy S4 users first of all to stand back.
SamMobile has once again on the “waves” back in which an Android update is rolled out. So may well elapse weeks until approximately every Samsung Galaxy Note could install 3 Owners Android 4.4 KitKat on their Galaxy Note 3. In addition, trial balloons are usually first started, before the rollout takes place everywhere. So can still be adjusted. It is the way with Android 4.4 for the Galaxy Note 3 to no final test firmware – but the regular, the manufacturer Samsung initiated rollout of KitKat for the current phablet. His current flagships seems the IT giant from South Korea, therefore, always to love them.
Android 4.4: test firmware for the Galaxy S4 leakedSamsung Galaxy S4 users, meanwhile, can – so because they belong to the “brave” – ??since a few days, Android 4.4.2 play on your Galaxy S4. This is a leaked test firmware that was provided by SamMobile online. Although apparently not it is the “final test firmware”, but also that update with the mystical name “I9505XXUFNA1″ already running so stable that is expected to prompt release of the actual firmware.
Thuslikely the Samsung Galaxy S4 – model number GT-I9505 – will be honored with the first flagship with the current version of the mobile operating system from Google. But: In too great changes to Galaxy S4 disciples must not adjust. This can be seen, among other things on the many screenshots that SamMobile has also provided online. So the Samsung keypad has been changed slightly – and some optical adjustments were also made in comparison to Android 4.3
.
steps as the test firmware can be installed are described in detail by colleagues. Of course, it is pointed out that the download is done at your own risk. And: It is not an official release from Samsung
. Android 4.4 in the run
Many IT companies have with respect to the Android 4.4 update can already look at the cards, including LG Electronics. The South Koreans announced the update for the LG G2. In addition, the rollout for the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One Google Play Edition was launched in the United States. Also for the LG Nexus 4 of the rollout of Android after some “minor” delays 4.4 now started.
Motorola and Samsung are planning for their current flagships obviously a timely rollout. This also applies to the HTC Sense user interface, including One. Via Tweet with LG announced that the LG G2 in this country end of the “first quarter 2014″ will receive the update to Android 4.4. A user had sent a request to the South Korean IT companies.
LG G2: Android 4.4 comes
The LG Nexus 5, in early November released by Google and tested by ukonio.de already in detail, already came along with Android 4.4 KitKat on the market. “Resemble” In many ways, the Nexus is 5 and G2, at least in terms of the “power under the hood” Thus says the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor was installed. There are differences but at the camera – the LG G2 comes with 13 megapixels of the way, the Nexus 5 “only” 8 However, the same image stabilizer is installed. And: The display diagonal of the Nexus 5 is 5 inches, the LG G2 of 5.2 inches. However, “fill” both touch screens the facade of the respective devices very good.
One thing we find strange: Not for the first time, it is observed that many users are waiting for an official statement of an IT giants, but often enough a simple request via Twitter or Facebook, to bring light into the darkness. Even Samsung had last reacts initially with respect to the exposed Android 4.3 update for the Galaxy S3 to user request, which was published before “actual” opinion and be attacked by the press.
Android 4.4 KitKat: game, voltage and chocolate?
LG is thus the Nexus 5 clearly inferior in terms of the Android 4.4. Wherein LG is certainly the flagship G2 yet adapts its own user interface, while the LG Nexus 5 or less came with stock Android the way. But whether it is in fact still a “pure Android” pleasure whether the many Google features above can of course be argued. One thing can be said to Android 4.4 in any case: The system is stable on the Nexus 5. The very large optical jumps to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, however, did not materialize. , It is said, however, KitKat is resource-saving than Jelly Bean.
While the LG Nexus 5 is thus the beginning of November the launch of Android has given KitKat 4.4, the LG G2 is apparently something of a latecomer: HTC had announced that the One end of January is considered with the new firmware, Huawei also wants release early next year the update to Ascend P6 users.
“. G2 Android 4.4″
That user deweril who taught at LG via Twitter the inquiry, is so because in his reply also little euphoric: “Oops, bisl late. ., But better than nothing “, but owners of the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 can look forward – so because they Google Play Edition have: How the IT giant from Mountain View via Google+ announced that the rollout of Android 4.4 for those Samsung and HTC flagship, including “stock Android” started.
To date, however, the Google Play Editions of One and Galaxy S4 are only available in the USA. All the same, HTC had already announced that even the “regular” one, together with the Sense UI early next year to obtain the fix. It is assumed that also rolls out Samsung for the Galaxy S4 in January KitKat – this is confirmed but not yet officially
