Kitkat 4.4.2 update for Samsung Galaxy S4 Active?
Does anyone know when the Kitkat 4.4.2 update for the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active will be released? I upgraded my wife's Samsung GS4 to 4.4.2 a few days ago, but was surprised when the update wasn't available for the active yet.

I've not heard anything at all about Active, but in general it being a lot less popular than the S4 I doubt it's as high priority for Samsung to update.

I have an active and haven't heard anything about an update yet either. Unfortunately we usually have to wait a while longer for updates.

I like the Active but am seriously considering the S5 since it is dust and water resistant as well.

The S4 is water "proof"
and they're rated differently on that.
I like my Active
Hate at&t and the wait times on the updstes. They are the slowest of all.

Neither one are waterPROOF they are both water-resitant. Waterproof is a ridiculous marketing term that is really missused.They have the same IP67 rating of 3ft-30mins, there is no difference.

I just installed the 4.3 update today, it was not pushed by ATT, I just checked to see if KitKat was available and there was the 4.3 update. I wonder if the other carriers have pushed the 4.4.2 update? If so, that may be a good reason to consider switching? If ATT is falling behind the competitors with upgrades, what else is ATT slipping on? At least ATT lowered their plan rates.

I find it somewhat ironic that AT&T promotes keeping your phone OS software updated to the latest version, yet they (AT&T) won't release the latest update from Google/Samsung.

Below is from the AT&T update support page, but it does not show up when i try to update my Active.
Effective March 26th, 2014, a software update for the Samsung Galaxy S 4 Active (SGH-i537) will be available to AT&T customers. This software package updates your phone to Android 4.4, and includes multiple improvements.
