(Oops sorry wrong forum section)
Nowt in the UK as yet.
I'm in France.
My impression on the update (just my impression, it might not be true):
- the phone seems a bit more snappy, a bit more reactive.
- In "vivid" mode the colours on the screen seem a bit more pronounced
- The automatic brightness seems to be more gradient, the screen seems brighter at the same setting.

Received a notification this morning that my unbranded Australian Note 10.1 N8000 (CSC XSA) now has an update available. A couple of days ago the N8010 (wifi) also supposedly got the update to Jelly Bean.
Unfortunately it won't do the update yet as the battery is too low even though I have it plugged in, but I'll update as soon as it has enough charge.
OTA update successful. Device is now saying it's on Android 4.1.2.
Build number: JZO54K.N8000XXCMB1
Changes I've noticed so far:
- New blocking mode in settings - can block calls/texts at certain times of the day and can set exceptions for certain people
- Smart rotation - screen rotation now based on the angle of your face, so you can lie sideways in bed and read.
- Accounts section is totally different in settings menu - now separate accounts are listed in the top level menu
- New disclaimer and privacy policy (for the OTA update service)
- Many apps, including stock browser, email, YouTube, etc can be un-maximised and become floating windows which can be dragged around the screen. They can then be re-sized and pinned (made always on top?), This is true even for some third-party apps like Friendcaster, so it looks like it's a native Android thing rather than Samsung-specific. Unfortunately I can't find a way to make them snap to half the screen like the old split-screen mode. *EDIT - The arrow in the bottom middle of the screen brings up options to switch from the cascade to a split-screen view.*
- Browser now has page preloading (in addition to search result preloading which it already had). Can be off, wifi-only (default) or always.
- Stock email app (not gmail) is still slow and clunky. Project butter seems to have done nothing for it.
I'm sure there's lots of other great changes.
Sweet, finally!!!
I wonder though, why does it say this was released in February on Sammobile.com when we're halfway through March? Why was this not pushed out with the n8010 release?

I was wondering that too. It's possible I did miss it by a while, but that's unlikely - I have been regularly checking using OTA, Kies and on Sammobile.com. I suspect it might be backdated to the date Samsung put on the build??
Mate, I've been checking sammobile every day since the N8010 JB update was released, asked Samsung and was informed that they don't answer rom release questions, just given the usual BS about testing and getting it right for us.
I think it's a bit slack though to release a rom almost a month after it should have come out. And it's a real spit in the eye to then back date it to make it look as if it was released on time....
I know there are 2 threads going on for 4.4.2 update. This thread is meant to only discuss the new user noticeable changes in 4.4.2 update. You can still ask How/What/Why questions in this thread but the top post will always be updated based on whats new in OTA 4.4.2. So this is the single post you can refer to all the changes. I will update the top post periodically based on what I found and based on your feedback.
Please only limit this post to AT&T Note 3 update
We know that AT&T released official release notes (http://blogs.att.net/consumerblog/story/a7795196). But it does not describe actual changes that user will see in day-to-day use. This thread will discuss all changes that users can see.
Changes
Redesigned notification drop down. There are no separate section for Ongoing Notification and Normal notifications. Both are merged in a single notification and they are not sorted. It makes it uglier than the earlier version.
In my experiments, the "Always listening" mode no longer works. Earlier, you could say 'Hi Galaxy' when the screen was turned off to activate S-Voice(very useful if you have tasker, kill S-voice and trigger Google Now). After the update, I haven't been able to get the Always Listening mode working.
GPS issue is still not fixed. The 'GPS signal lost' still exist when network switches from LTE to 4G(HSPA+)
(Minor) Monochrome icons in notification bar
(Minor) Tweaks with font width
(Not confirmed) Feels more snappier, touch sensitivity seems to be increased, but it could just be me.

There are more than two threads, and one of them is specifically called "4.4.2 Update CHANGES".

That's incorrect. Almost everyone (including me) finds that 4.4.2 fixed that problem for them.

Update: Yota did something unusual: they communicated! An employee contacted me with a request to remove the download link. He hints that an official release is not that far away anymore, and that the RU1.1.81 version in this post still has some open issues, so I decided remove the download link for now.
A little something to play with for those who are interested: Yotaphone 2 firmware 1.81 (Russian)
What is it?
- An (as of yet unreleased) yotaphone 2 firmware by Yota Devices
- still based on Lollipop 5.0
- unknown quality: My guess is beta+ quality, maybe some issues
- Russian (RU) version (hardly noticable, some russian apps, additional Cyrillic characters in dialpad of dialer), but runs fine with English language/other locales
- modem firmware is same as e.g. EU, I've had no network connectivity issues so far
- it's a full firmware, so it's not dependent on your current firmware version.
- contains from some new features, like double-tap-to-wake, new widgets and widget sizes, panels background selection, app improvements, security fixes (and who knows: some new Russian backdoors to match? )
- From Yota Devices themselves (signed).
Issues/warnings:
- for some reason unknown to me, Xposed framework won't run on recent versions. Boot never finishes with Xposed installed, the boot animation keeps playing, some background services get restarted over and over.
- This firmware has unknown quality, I've been using this one for a few hours now, looks pretty OK so far.
- If you're not comfortable using TWRP and flashing firmware images, it's probably easiest and safest to wait for an official OTA update.
- My phone showed a missed alarm this morning after having snoozed the first one, not sure if related to this firmware, but be careful not to lose your job
- <download link removed>
A detail which I may have missed until now: YotaReader in ROM 1.8x renders text in high quality (16 colors). See an example of the quality difference in this post here.
It may have been in the app for some time already, did anyone notice this? Backscreen browser does not do the same unfortunately, but at least reading ebooks is nicer now! :good:
Thanks for this dude, very exciting news. Did you get a look at any of the new features / fixes in the new firmware?
Nice that at least some people are paying attention to here ..

I mentioned some new features above, I especially like the double-tap-to-wake (better than swipe gesture) and the improved text quality in YotaReader.
In other news: Xposed (latest version: v78) seems to work again in combination with recent firmwares (it stopped working somewhere after 1.60), so that's good news too for users attached to Xposed.
