Samsung Galaxy Note 3: Android 4.4 (Kit-Kat) update

That's Samsung's "Kies". Sorry for the confusion.

Is the kitkat available in Kies already?

I'm hopeful that the KitKat update has the GPS fix as well. My wife and I both have Note 3's (aka $1,400 of electronics in our hands) that we hope when driving will always have at least one of the two with active GPS.

If I go with a Note 4, it won't be the AT&T version...no matter how different the CPU is. Locked bootloaders should be optional when you flat out purchase the phone. If I buy it, I own it and want to tweak it to my liking without voiding a warranty.

So Sprint, T-Mobile, and many international carriers are enjoying the 4.4.2 on the Note 3. When will it come to us AT&T users in the Good 'Ol U.S.A.?

Why you are rushing to Kitkat anyway? Do you know that your external SD card will become READ ONLY?

No more moving apps to the external storage. I will not mention apps which will stop work and they will never work in Kitkat. Enjoy Jelly Bean!

>Why you are rushing to Kitkat anyway?

Only one reason: because of the GPS issue!

Once the SD card problem graces me, I will voice my opinion loudly and speak with my wallet to get that fixed.

Also once my phones warranty expires, I will root and then visit x d a to apply the sdcard fix, which I know, if it doesnt already exisit, will soon. 

AT&T & Verizon are the only US carriers to lock down the phone bootloader using Samsung Knox so they can maintain complete control over the device.  This is taking the engineers more time. 

IMO this is a big business mistake - Folks who really care about this will likely have a workaround and will be be the most frustrated by AT&T  -> moving to T-mobile or Sprint.  Hope that AT&T gets the message that it should spend time building it's network and not locking down devices that consumers purchase.  At some point the government will step in and we will all look back at AT&T as the evil empire while T-mobile is the liberator.

You can fix GPS now, when you root phone. 6 files to copy over faulty ones, are already on x d a
