T-Mobile officially revealed that a new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Android 4.4.2 update is now being pushed to users. Therefore, if you happen to own T-Mo’s Note 3 variant you should keep an eye on the notifications bar.
T-Mobile’s support page reveals that the new Android 4.4.2 OTA update for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has software version N900TUVUDNF9. The same page also notes that the new firmware introduces T-Mobile Free Inflight Texting. Because the previous Android 4.4.x Galaxy Note 3 updates patched KitKat-specific goodies (new Location menu, immersive mode, cloud printing, full screen album and movie art, white status bar icons, transparent status and nav bars, color emoji support, and more) along with updated Samsung native apps, the latest firmware update only arrives with minor changes and bug fixes.
Even though the N900TUVUDNF9 OTA update rolled out began September 10, the roll out is made in phases, so certain users might not be able to download and install the new firmware right away. As you may know, once your Note 3 becomes eligible to receive the new update you should be able to see a system update message in the notifications bar. Tap on it, then follow the on-screen instructions. If the system update notification failed to appear, you would also want to perform a manual check under Settings > About device > Software updates > Check for software updates. Alternatively, you can grab the USB cable, connect your Note 3 to the PC, then search for the update via KIES.
T-Mobile also says that, in order to be able to install the new update, your smartphone must run N900TUVUDNF4. In order to check your current software version go to Settings > More > System manager > About device. The new software update has a size of 78 MB.
Are there any T-Mobile Note 3 owners reading this? Have you got the new software update? Did you notice any changes? Please let us know in comments.
