Did anyone else get an OTA update yesterday (2/7)? I was surprised to see the message that it was ready to install, so I went ahead thinking that maybe I was getting Lollipop :) At the very least, I thought I'd get 4.4.4 (currently on 4.4.2), but I don't see any difference at all.

Does anyone know what got updated? I'll admit that I didn't pay attention to anything but the version of Android, so I don't know what's new.

Thanks!

Depends, what version of the S3 do you have? Last update I got was in December and it said it was to fix random cases of screen waking, meaning it probably turned the device on and off by accident, but the version number is still 4.4.2...

I found this though^ Check to see what your version number says :)
 
The biggest change i can see is more pages are opening like a mobile page rather than the actual web page even though I have it set up to desktop view . Even Google sometimes will come up as error unless you swith it to mobile viewing. Could not get Disney to open as desktop view no matter what I tried. Switching to firefox or dolphin. Still at 4.4.2
 
I have the US version. Screenshot1.jpg Screenshot2.jpg
 
Its not 4.4.4 so why would they change the number? Anyways it's just security updates and some WiFi stuff. Officially it says added HD voice icon.

What's different between 4.4.2 and 4.4.4? Plus, some S3's already have 4.4.4 as seen on the list I showed so yeah...
 
Some of the international versions got it. Its the version of KitKat officially named by google 4.4.4. There is a link to an official change log from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 on googles factory image site.
