horse for courses really yes
i agree ,if you have no problems with your version your running now then dont update,i had no problems,but im in that group of people that need to update to the latest softwares
4.3 was good enough for me really,but i can not help myself
stay on 4.3 untill you read more about kitkat

That is good but what about battery drain
And sensor and motion works
The big problem if I update there is no way to back to 4.3

Thats why i actually updated to cm11. Which is still kitkat but also works on the old bootloader. Means you can always go back to stock 4.3. You will lose all available spen features tho and all Samsung stuff . If you're not scared of knoxing your device that is.

Major battery drain on 4.3?

So since flashing to 4.3 stocked odexed rooted that's it, I've had bad battery drain. As you can see it just drops. I'm coming from slim ROM which gave godly battery life but this is bad. Am I missing something? Can I flash 4.2.2 kernel to help with this? Or not compatible. I want to stay on 4.3 but this is ridiculous.

Just applied stock 4.3 and rooted and getting massive battery drain. There's an issue with the current root, chainfire hopefully will release an update. Though I don't know if the rooted apps themselves also require some update too.

Ya I noticed it was pretty small, what we want is KITKATTTTTTTTT

I don't think this voids your warranty, because you are still on stock firmware....you don't need root or a custom recovery!
Just got an OTA from MJ5 to 8. Phone generally feels the same. Nothing new observed by me other than "maybe" a little better RAM management.

Build number: JDQ39.I9195XXUBMJ7
As I understand this is for Region: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom
Well I let it a try and want to share my experience.
The update took 13 minutes from applying the update untill the full bootup. And drained 3% of a battery from 80% to 77%. All apps and icons on the home screen remained untouched.
Comment removed
Thanks for the details. Let us know if anything is improved

As read in another thread now you have the Knox warranty flag/counter.
You can see that when you bring your phone in download/odin mode.
And as I understood now you can't flash back older firmware, or root and flash custom roms without loosing your warranty (warranty void).
Look at this thread!

I didn't think s4 mini was getting 4.3 this year. (I got an s4m for my wife)
My S4 is locked up with Knox now, I had to make the decision, stock/stable/official or root - stock isn't so bad.

It`s offically annonced that S4 mini will get 4.3 till the end of November and this is sure as Samsung anonce that Gear will support S4 Mini which mean 4.3 for us in the end of November.
As for the Rom I love the stock one and don`t need root as there is wifi tethering so I don`t need to play hacker just to have network on my laptop when traveling.

Do you have a source by chance? I know about the 4.3 and Galaxy Gear compatibility but don't remember reading anything about timing.

I think this will cover it.
A spokesperson for Samsung UK told CNET that Android 4.3 Jelly Bean "will be available across a range of Galaxy devices from mid-November, subject to software testing and approvals by individual networks."
Installing now and see how it goes. The only thing I pray for is the basterds fixed the battery drain bug. I doubt it, but we will see...
Someone mentioned no rooting possible from this version on? Should there be a workaround this, because I am pessimistic they fixed the issue?
For now, everything is in place and the update was non-problematic. We will see how the battery usage goes...
where are you based cos I just can't get this update, my software version is BTU which I thought was uk un brand

For me all works. For the S-View Cover if you got problems theres a XPOSED MODULE that fixes.
If you want to flash to kitkat flash to the latest one - https://mega.co.nz/#!9ExjAR5a!JlqiFGnMqN1iYQylM7-3bhvupKtkZ9fnLLwLwTC8rD0 (thanks @ValenteL )

Best is poland, from what I have read and some ppl said.
But I couldn't find latest poland nb4 as what most ppl said.
So I flashed the nb7 germany but it requires pit file to be flashed together.
Or perhaps u could try nb7 uk.
My sview cover is working just fine with nb7 germany. No issue. And fyi, I m not using any original scover ciz too ex for me.
Sd card problem I found so far only on dolphin apps, where by it detects as "external sd" only, instead of "storage/external sd". Therefore if u want to download something, it will still be only able to save to internal sd.
Btw, battery much more better than 4.3.
I m quite satisfy with it, based on my same usage.
And it really did stay very well in deep sleep.
I discharged, and nver use it for 4 hours, it dropped to 98% only. Something I never see before.
Sent from N9005 4.4.2 NB7 rooted device
NB7 Germany contains the fix for the 3rd party accessories. (It is the second 4.4.2 update for DBT).
Keep in mind that 4.3 has a very, very annoying issue with Android leeching battery. I never had issues before updating to 4.4.2. Factory reset helped a bit, but not much. Ever so often Media Server prevents deep sleep.
The SD Card doesn't have problems, the lazy app developers have a problem. Google updated security policies (remember how people are always whining about security? This is the result. Blame them.) and now the devs have to alter one tiny permission in their apps and it works. But a lot of them can't be bothered.
If you are happy on 4.3, don't update.
I think to stay on 4.3 and wait for another update
Mybe 4.4.3 ?

You either update to 4.4.2, or don't update.
4.4.3 would be too long away. Once Google releases 4.4.3, it would take months for Samsung to update, if they feel like it.
Really I'm worry If I update my phone to 4.4.2
Be sorrowful for leaving 4.3 ?

For now, 5.0 is snappy and kind a fast but battery is the same as 4.4.2 , and still needs to be retoched a little...
S health doesn't work verry well it stops most of time..
Now if you want to test you you shoud know that you cannot go back to 4.4.2 very easily...
goodluck
Okay.. Thanks..
Why is it that I have trouble going back to 4.4.2?
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I was able to revert from Lollipop back to 4.4.2 without any issues. Used Odin and official 4.4.2 ROM.
