Sprint Kit Kat development has begun

Sorry if, I am late to the party on this, didn't see any other threads, but it looks like development is well underway for the S3 and Kit Kat at Sprint. The current development version is showing 4.4.2.

That most likely is a test build. But good news for it coming out soon. If they are testing it, they must be close.

Yes, I figured it was not remotely close for release, but great to see that they are working on it considering they have the S5 coming out soon and other things to focus on.

It's up to L710VPUDNC7 now. I wonder when we'll get a release?

 

[jordo487]

Hopefully they are to get it out pretty quick, though I wouldn't be surprised if they S5 launch pushed it back a little so they could focus on release bugs that always have to be fixed right after a new phone comes out.

now L710VPUDNC8 - Would love to get this update in the near future.

Up to L710VPUDND6. Looks like I will get a S5 before my S3 will get Kit Kat.

Just so everyone knows, Samsung codes their build numbers using a letter for the month followed by the day. So the D7 version just referenced was generated:

D (April) 7 and it looks like it's taking about a week for internal QA to post it up.

That makes sense. I was wondering how it worked

I, too, will soon be upgrading but it's awesome that the GS3 is continuing to get updates. Honestly if I didn't like new and shiny phones so much I might have stuck it out with the GS3. This phone can take practically everything Android throws at it and quite impressively at that. And the camera is still taking amazing shots. Kudos to Samsung for making such a solid phone.

Will be happy to finally get KitKat! That should carry me through till next year. Going to save my upgrade to get a phone with a 64 bit chip! Doesn't make sense to get jammed up in another two year contract when they are about ready to release these beasts I keep reading about!!!

Still at ND7 it looks like. That must be good news

Either good news or they stopped work to get bug fixes out for the S5. I hope it is coming close to completion.

I received the download today... was just searching forums to make sure it performs well. I read that it drains the battery on other phones. Anybody know anything? I'm a newbie here ;-)
