I spoke with Samsung Technical Support and they told me there is no way to get rid of the KitKat Update that I already downloaded to my Note 3. The Update is NOT yet Installed .....

I've been getting Notifications asking me if I want to Update or Postpone. I have been postponing the Update, but now I can no longer Postpone the Update.

Is there a way to get rid of the Update File which I already downloaded to my Note 3, before it Automatically Updates .... or am I stuck with KitKat no matter what?

Tech Support told me to Backup whatever I can ..... I thought the Update was JellyBean. I did NOT want KitKat ... !!!

If I'm stuck with KitKat, how can I Backup third party apps, and also Backup Nova Launcher Prime Settings and TouchWiz Launcher Settings. I have spent a lot of time creating numerous folders with all my app, and even Shortcuts. I hope I do not have to go back to the PlayStore and download so many Apps all over again ......

I have already moved all the Apps that I can to the SD card, but many Apps cannot be moved to the SD card.

Help .... !!!!!
 
All I can say is I wish I had not installed kitkat 4.4.2. Amazon Kindle no longer works. Screen rotation is messed up, works only some times and then only between vertical and counter-clockwise, never clockwise rotation. And numerous other things.... BAD! BAD! BAD! If I could go back to the previous (jelly bean?) I would in a heartbeat. Hope they come out with some bug fixes real soon!

I totally SCREWED ... !!! The Notification to Update is coming every few minutes now .... I'm still going through my Apps to copy all that I can to my SD card, but I'm afraid that I will not be able to finish Backing Up before the Update starts ......

What a total mess ... !!! If KitKat turns out to be too much of a hassle, I might return my Note 3 and go with something else .....

Even though I really like the Note 3, I do NOT want KitKat .... and now I'm VERY PISSED .... !!!!!!
 
Bit ott isn't it?! I have kit kat and although I had weird battery crash a few days after installing it's been fine.
Battery life improved and it's zippy.

After I "upgraded" from the previous flavor of Android to Kitkat, a number of things didn't work or worked poorly.

Another person on this site reminded me to try a "hard reset" which is taking the battery out for at least 10 minutes, putting it back in and trying to run stuff again.

I tried it and it worked for me. You have nothing to lose, I think, by trying that
 
I just leave Safestrap running, so even if I get an update notification, the update is going to fail and I'll still be on 4.3. I have the 4.4.2 update file and if, by the time someone comes out with rooting and Safestrap for 4.4, they haven't come out with 4.4.3, I'll restore to stock and update.

But I'm not giving up Safestrap for some of the bugs in 4.4.2. (Like apps that I want to use that won't work.)
