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

Any news when will Android 4.4 (aka Kit-Kat) be available for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 devices?

I'm happy to say that I love KitKat on this device.  Most if not all of the random lag is gone, apps load faster, etc.  Overall a much better Android experience.

 

Android 4.4 KitKat is a version that Google worked on to make Android slimmer, lighter, and with less fat around the stomach.  They made it so that it could run on more lower-end devices such as devices that have 512 MB of RAM.  So, you can very well imagine how a slimmed down version of Android would run on a high-end Android handset like the Galaxy Note 3.  As fast as a cat trying to get away from water.

Yes, But AT&T will put Plenty of their Bloatware software in the update, that most people do not even use and lock bootloaders so you can not Root.

I don't have root, I never rooted, yet I turned most if not all of the provided AT&T crapware off and I have a smooth running Note 3.  I did it all via the Manage Apps screen.

Yea me and my friend updated ours. Only a unexplained lag on the first to boots after the update and then it behaves pretty well. See how things develop.

I have been getting an update notification for 3 days now.  I thought it was  KitKat - which I do not want.  Who knows what that is.  I am keeping my WiFi off to keep it at bay.

I just purchased the Note 3 yesterday and had been reading about the 4.4 update but hadn't seen any update notifications yet.

 

i hadn't looked at my phone for an hour or so and opened it to find it was downloading an update. At first I thought it was 4.4 until I saw the small size. 

 

It finished and the phone functioned fine after the update. I then ran software update which found and installed 4.4. 

 

this is my first Android phone and I really like this phone.
