4.4. Update feed back

[Robert7107]

Any feedback regarding 4.4? I had the s3 and updated to 4.3 as soon as AT&T made it available. I had several issues and my girlfriend had the same phone and updated as well and basically ruined the performance of the phone issues after issues. We now both have the note 3 thru AT&T and are lery about updating when it becomes available......

I've been running the 4.4.2 software since I got it OTA last month and had no issues at all. Apparently there weren't going to be any major changes from 4.3 but most just under the hood, this seems to be the case with mine and apart from all the notification icons being just white, there's not a great deal to write home about. Its also meant to use less memory on 4.4.2, not sure if this is the case but mine runs just fine, battery lasts the same as before also.
Things to consider before updating are what your carrier are going to do with the software that Samsing provide for them, mine is a European Sim free handset so no extra bloatware or branding but carriers sometimes tend to make things slightly more laggy in my experience.

I've been running 4.4.2 Kit-Kat for over a day now and since I use Nova Launcher Prime so I really don't see much difference from 4.3.

I did switch to TouchWiz and I only see minor differences. The App draw and clear home screen switching.
In my view, not much to write home about.
I'll keep the jury out for a while longer.
