S3 Kit Kat Update for Verizon
- Thread starter strang66
- Start date
Big disappointment. ...ive already roamed in Canada. ....eh.....when's kit Kat c omming????? Heard it was cancelled....unless its for the international version only
There seems to be no consensus on whether we'll get KitKat or not. The leaked memo from Samsung (if genuine) seems to say yes. On the other hand, there have been no leaked versions and there does seem to be some concern about whether KitKat will run with all the Samsung and Verizon bloatware attached. I wonder whether the Canadian roaming patch wasn't really some sort of test run to see how the phone would react to KitKat without actually rolling it out.
If spring GS3 owners got it....wouldn't u think we would eventually also
You would think, but if the memory load is too great, maybe not.
So it was announced today that Verizon's version of the SGS3 will be getting Kit Kat 4.4.2. The problem is that the build in their upgrade details is the same build that is currently running on the device (after the Telus minor back around 5/1/2014).

Hopefully the folks at Big Red have figured this out and are changing the build number of the update and changing the build in the details page.

Just downloaded.
The apps stayed on the SD card and the device is faster.
Update- everything functions better now, but especially the audio quality on calls. I noticed it yesterday, but the real test was calls to 80 year olds across country, both with dirty landlines service. They said it was better on their end as well.
The device seems to have decreased use of cache, freeing resources for multitasking and just better speed. I am pleased.
