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 )

What about battery state?

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.

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 ?

[Q] i9506 4.3 Official Firmware Link?

Hello,
Can someone put up the i9506 4.3 official samsung firmware for me please?
VAU if possible.
VAU-I9506XXUBNB2-20140404135239.zip
I'v tried download from .samsung-updates.com
but download is 1.6GB and fails all the time while downloading at less than 100kb.
Google drive, dropbox or one of them would be ideal...

the Vodafone aus support says that its still awaiting the 4.4.2 software for testing...........quite a long wait

Cheers guys.
Got 4.3 vau down and flashed.
Then flashed CyanogenMod 11... Living this custom ROM on my i9506. Performance is class. Looks amazing. Only issue I have had is minimum CPU performance being reset to 1300 on reboot. But easily changed back to 300mhz in settings/performance/CPU
Looking good so far and 4.4
2 is so much better.

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?

I was able to revert from Lollipop back to 4.4.2 without any issues. Used Odin and official 4.4.2 ROM.

Where is "?"
Ok
No dude

There is only one reason for that, because some apps don't work correctly on Lollipop, Kitkat is still more stable than Lollipop now, that's my opinion

A lot depends upon what .
What you have flashed what method etc .
Jumped from KK to Lollipop and its faster and cleaner .
But that is a clean fully wiped install of Alexandr rom not a flash of some leaked firmware or install on top of old stuff .All apps are fully working .

either or is better than touchwiz IMO
