No and it's only forced apps. No improvements to the phone.

T-Mobile Galaxy S 4 !?

SO we are hours away from the Galaxy S4 T-Mobile launch and No section yet? What gives? Is it the same device as the ATT version or not?

Couple people posting in threads there. Then again, I'm still put off by tmobilles choice to make us pay for the phones full price. (no contracts) [rice + $20monthly.

Called ATT for the update

Tried the update using the phone, no go. Called ATT and the ATT woman ended up pushing the update via wifi to my wifes phone. Took about and hour from start of download to the reboot.

I called at&t and was told no such update exist..... still on 4.2.2.
Then that person lied to you. My wife's phone showed 4.3 after the reboot.

What did you have to say? I swear I talked to two of the "support" people and they were as dumb as a box of rocks... they think that 4.2.2 is the new update...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
I told them that an update was released earlier that day and that when I checked using my phone, it said my phone was up to date. The woman checked and confirmed what I had told her so she did what she had to on her end and pushed it to my wife's phone. The woman actually called it a firmware update instead of just an update.

A similar thing happened to me. Last night, I was told that there was definitely an update available and that it would come to my phone within the next few hours. It did, but I called AT&T this evening about Knox, and was told that the update has been pulled. According to the rep, they made a statement that "AT&T and Samsung have pulled the update and are looking into issue." They go on to mention Galaxy Gear support, call quality, but that is it. They mention nothing about Knox.

It took me three times. Turns out that at&t update manager app was disabled and there isn't a way to enable it... I have to take it to Best Buy or factory reset to fix lol... Samsung has an excellent skilled support team.

If you change the date on your phone you can keep checking the servers for ota.

Can you please share how you did this. Who did you talk to. Their number and so on?
I just dialed 611 and got ahold of, I think her first name was Carol (she was American and spoke excellent English), just tell whoever answers that you want the firmware update that'll take your phone from 4.2.2 to 4.3. Whoever you talk to should understand that, if not, demand to talk to someone else or a supervisor.

Got a hold of ATT they said that they have stopped pushing it out because of too many issues it was causing on some GS4's. Said ATT wa working on a fix and it would be back on OTA as soon as possible so I guess its just sit tight and wait.

They had the same problem with the 4.3 S3 update. Maybe they will include the Profile creator (KNOX) app that they previously excluded when they restart the OTAs.
AT&T Update
I was right by an AT&T Store when reading this, and went in to ask for myself. (I have an S4.) And he said to be patient, and that he doesn't know when it will be available.

Classic "canned" response. It's a good bet the AT&T employee had no idea of what you were talking about.

There's a good chance that's the situation. Disappointing if so.

On the phone with Samsung now. I337 updates have stopped but he doesn't know why. At least I got the truth from Samsung instead of the fellow at AT&T who told me over and over that my phone is up to date and that my gs4 model doesn't get the 4.3 update. A$$clown.

We on Verizon are doomed with this phone all around. So sad cause I thought that for $100 and Motorola's bootloader unlock program, this phone would have some really great development. But no, Verizon has to be a bunch of controlling douches for no reason at all. Just because. X(

News about our Lollipop Update

http://www.ecumenicalnews.com/artic...s-devices-to-get-their-hands-on-it-soon-28574
Just thought I would post that as this site claims that AT&T is rolling out the update soon. I haven't heard of this site though so I don't know if its credible. Just something I came across today that gives us some hope
Ive read from numerous sources over the past few months. The update always seems to be 'coming soon'. At some point, I think there was an official release from ATT saying early 2015 (But i don't have a source). Anyways, ill have to see it to believe it. Spring is rollin gout 5.1 Today on the Nexus 6...We just need 5.0 lol.

i verify the sammobile site for the update and the page of the model sm-n900a are missing soo couldbe the update roll out soon

I just hope we get this soon! I'm tired of our Note 3 variant always being the worst out of the bunch especially with things like a locked bootloader.

It's not the worst. Even their latest flagship S series (since S6 isn't OFFICIALLY out yet) hasn't gotten it. Even the M8 hasn't gotten it.

It is odd that the site no longer has any firmware for our device. Just last week they still showed 4.3 as our stock firmware.

"with the Galaxy Note 3 likely to receive the update ahead of the current Note 4 and Note Edge."
Translation:
Maybe they'll start rolling 5.0 out before the end of the summer. 5.1? Probably not in 2015. And by then a real bug-fixed newer version will be out. (That big pile out behind AT&T is the pile of "go backwards fast" pills they each take every morning.)
But for me? I hate Material Disgust, my phone works just fine with 4.4.2, Towel Root and SafeStrap, and I'm in no hurry to maybe update to 5 with no way to get back to 4 if I don't like 5. I'd rather someone fix the Note 4 port - that's a nice ROM.
I didn't say it was the worst against other devices, it's the worst out of all Note 3 variants.

Nothing major. You can go on YouTube and see the changes. Most of them are just design changes. Looks a little lighter if that makes sense? The way the active apps show up is new. More like a carousel. My battery drain seems to have gotten a little worse. Trying to determine if I have a rogue app or its the update. Like it overall.
