KitKat 4.4.2 Update now available for Galaxy S3 on Rogers

[rkinzer]

Just updated my Galaxy S3 on Rogers.
KitKat 4.4.2 now available.

I am downloading it on Telus as we speak...let's see what's broken this time!!! I love this part!

Best of luck, I hope all goes well.

I don't see much different but I use Nova Launcher so more than likely the differences would be on Touchwiz. I guess I'll see over the next few days.

I am on telus and upgraded and I am seeing nothing different except build number. No new features at all.

I hope the WiFi problems 4.3 introduced are fixed. Almost 5 of the 6 friends I know who use this phone had WiFi start to randomly be "unstable" whether it was at work/school/home. Wiping partition cache, factory reset, nothing worked. Plus battery life took a hit last time with wonky charging as well. Downloading it now, on my old GS3, let's see how it goes.

I'm on telus and I have no plans on installing it. After the 4.3 fiasco I was finally able to root and get back 4.1.2 to fix all the problems. 4.3 offered me nothing useful anyway, it just removed features I liked. Kitkat wouldn't be any better.

How did you get the kitkat upgrade, Rogers support has indicated it has never been available?

Can you provide the steps you took, doing a manual update from the about device says the 4.3 is the current release.

. . . thanks in advance

Welcome to the forums!

Rogers support has indicated it has never been available?

Not sure what they're smoking (is weed legal in Canada?) but the build is already posted http://samsung-updates.com/details/30414/Galaxy_S_3_North_America/SGH-I747M/RWC/I747MVLUFNF2.html so it should be available via OTA.

You could try Kies (be sure to use Kies v3).

Just did a firmware upgrade, which also updated me to 4.4.2. I can see no indication of a camera button on the lock screen, however. Is it working for anyone?

I installed the update, and now I cannot hide the sidebar. Holding the back button no longer makes it disappear. Any suggestions?

Have you tried using the Quick Toggles to turn off 'Multi window'?
