Download complete

I didn't even have to do the framework thing, just searched for update and there it was. Can't install it until later, does anyone have any first impressions? I am going to miss the green battery. :-(

I did a manual check for updates in the appropriate settings menu, and it was available. Took ~45 minutes or so to download the ~500MB package and a longer than normal boot to finish updating everything, but I've got KitKat now. Does anyone happen to know if this update fixes the flaky WiFi connection and erroneous KNOX notification issues? I didn't see mention of them specifically anywhere, but maybe they fall under something general like carrier-specific fixes.

Mine is waiting. Going to town and will down load later on 4G. Home connection is ridiculously slow this morning.

Same thing here, it stopped at 330mb and I have the exact same problem you do. Even Best Buy couldn't push it and Kies days I'm up to date and shows MJ4 as the latest update.

HELP! :banghead:

Ah cute little sammy owners their finally getting 4.4.

irl, I'm suprised Sammy did it this fast, and has a big update list.

[Instrumentals]

Took me like an hour to download over Wifi, I really do like the white icons..yea yea minor details but still.

also I think battery life did improve for me, which is what I was hoping would happen..overall im pleased.

[dbrad39]

Have you had any luck getting it started again?

Nope. I have rebooted, cleared dalvik, pulled battery, cleared Google services cache and still get the same result. I can find nothing on Sprint or Sammobile other than it was released today but no links for download.

I will try Kies again tomorrow and call Sprint tech. I'll post results, or not.

Finally got it this morning in a very slow download via wifi. Took over 2 hours. Everything looks the way it did before except for the while icons in the notification bar. I haven't dug into menus yet but it does appear to be a bit snappier. I believe the servers were overloaded yesterday and they shut them down for a period, nothing else makes sense to me. Nonetheless, I got it without any extraordinary effort. Just hit update and it started downloading after trying it intermittently last night. 👍

did anyone noticed that they changed the font?, I have it on the default one btw

[msndrstood]

I have one widget that uses the default font and it changed. Everything else is still in the downloaded font I've been using for months.

I got mine downloaded at 1am Friday morning. Not seeing a whole lot that is different, but definitely is much snappier and battery life is improved(both major pluses in my book)

[mcross72]

I didn't wait for the OTA, on one of the other forum posts about KK said to do it through Kies3. I installed the drivers as well as Kies3, when I connected my phone the update was waiting. That was 3 days ago.

LOL, just updated my sprint sm-n900p.12 note 3 (through sprint) and after update the touch interface didn't work, only the s-pen. Had me worried, but one more reboot and the phone recognizes my fingers again.

Anyone have problems with the SD card in the 4.4 update?

[Dronak]

Anyone have problems with the SD card in the 4.4 update?

Writing to the SD card using third-party apps I installed on my phone, yes, this can have problems. With what I've tried, writing files works at least sometimes, but writing folders doesn't. Reading from the card seems to work fine for all apps I've tried though, and pre-installed apps seem to be able to write to the SD card without trouble. I think there's at least one thread around here, maybe in the general Note 3 forum, about possible SD card issues, so you might look for that if you want more info on this particular point.
