Still don't have KK 4.4.4

[Philipp Yeo]

Update: Already Flashed Lollipop on my S5 via Odin. Disappointed in Samsung for not providing any animations except for those annoying bubbles. But hey, at least I got Lollipop. Right now it's pretty buggy and I think you guys will get 5.0.1

Was wondering, does any of you S5 owners out there already have the latest KitKat update? (I'm in the Philippines and this is a SMART locked version.)

Neither do I. I'm in the UK and am still on 4.4.2. I think think next update I will get is lollipop around March next year!

I don't know, news is the update is already rolling out... It's nice (well, not nice) to know that I am not the only one having this issue.

Updates are made by Google, amended by smartphone manufacturers, and distributed by the wireless carriers. At this point it sounds like the U.S. wireless carriers are ahead of the game as some of us (like me) have been running 4.4.4 for a couple of months. I think my S5 was updated at the end of August, maybe early September. You can contact your wireless carrier for more information, that's about the best you can do at this point.

my att is still using 4.4.2 and says it's up to date.

4.4.2 here on AT&T S5 as well. Just have to wait for carrier release I guess

AT&T is skipping the 4.4.4 update in favor of the Android 5.0 update.

A lot of the carriers do this. That's why I'm not expecting anymore updates until lollipop.

I'm glad they are doing this. Put all their effort in to this major update instead of push out an incremental update and rush into another one.

 

[Philipp Yeo]

Well this might be a problem, I don't know if the carrier needs to approve the update in my country or not since it's really not such a big modern carrier.

Plus I bought mine off contract (but it's still locked), is it really dependant on the carriers?

P. S. If you're in the Philippines and know SMART, do you know if they handle the updates or not?

Why would Google spend money money updating 4.4.2 while spending money on 5.0 and releasing them both months apart? My s5 is from Sprint. Am I waiting on one update or two?

Why worry with 4.4.4 when 5.0 is around the corner?

 

[Philipp Yeo]

Good point, but I worry that I might not get even the 5.0 update xD

Because 4.4.4 is the most bug free update from Google. The 5.0 will probably have many bugs that will be resolved in 5.1 which will never get...

Didn't the verizon or sprint users who got the 4.4.4 update have a lot of issues? How is 4.4.4 the most bug free?

4.4.2 definitely isn't the most bug free Kit Kat update.

 

[FaintDeftone]

I had no idea AT&T was skipping 4.4.4.

I'm still rocking 4.4.2 on my AT&T S5 and now I guess I can stop hitting the "check for updates" button in settings trying to get something that'll never come...

Sprint hasn't gotten 4.4.4, not sure we will if they're opting to go with Lollipop.

GS5 will get an update in December, Android Lolipop ( 5 )
