AT&T Galaxy S4 gets KitKat

[ironass]

The AT&T Galaxy S4 variant, SGH-i337, "should", be receiving the AT&T version of Android 4.4.2, KitKat, from today, 26 FEB; onwards. There is no mention of its availability via Kies so it seems to be an OTA, (Over the Air), update that will be gradually rolled out by AT&T themselves and not via Samsung. Also, at this time there are no details as to the KitKat build version that this will be based on or if it will come with the latest Knox 2.0 Security installed.

"The update brings the Galaxy S4 to Android version 4.4.2, and has a few other notable changes:

Samsung Galaxy Gear compatibility
Drag and drop to uninstall or disable applications
Call reliability improvements"

Just checked for it and it's downloading now.

Downloading it now on my S4. Hopefully it all goes well!

Downloading now too. AT&T must limit the download speed to .3 MB/second (that's what it was on the last update as well).

Installation went smooth and so far so good. We'll see how it runs the rest of the day.

Lost several applications along with the data inside them. Not happy.

Can you guys confirm if you can still move apps 2 SD card and transferring files between internal storage and SD card? thanks

 

[BurtGummer]

I can still do all that. It's running really smooth for me, so far no complaints.

So i did the upgrade last night and everything seems fine. It still looks like TouchWiz is the default launcher. Any way that I could use the icons/launcher native to KitKat?

Can anyone with the i337 and KK verify if you can use ES File Explorer to move files across a WLAN (from either internal storage and/or from the SD card)? I've been doing this forever but hear that is no longer possible with KK. If not via wifi, can you still move files with ES FE by USB?
