New Android 4.4.2 Update for T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S5 Now Available Over-the-air

T-Mobile announced today that a new software update is now being pushed to their own Samsung Galaxy S5 variant. If you happen to have one by your side, you should keep an eye on the notifications bar. The new update is still based on Android 4.4.2 and only brings minor changes.

The roll out for the new Samsung Galaxy S5 Android 4.4.2 update started November 24 and, as usual, we are dealing with a staged roll out. This means that some user might have to wait longer than others. Unfortunately, T-Mobiles website doesn’t reveal to many details about the new update, except for the fact hat it brings Chinese language support.

The new Android 4.4.2 update for Samsung Galaxy S5 will update your baseband to version G900TUVU1CNK2  and you will be able to retrieve it over-the-air. If the OTA update fails to initiate (the system update notification doesn’t appear), you can also try a manual pull down (manually check for the update under Settings > About device > Software update > Check for updates now. The new update is also rolled out via KIES so you can also plug in your device to the PC using the USB cable and use Samsung’s software to check for the update.

The update file shouldn’t be too large in size if you’re running a recent build, but, even so, it’s advisable to download it using a stable WiFi network to avoid unwanted data charges. T-Mobile also notes that if you are coming from software version G900TUVU1BNH5 the update will have a size of around 33 MB, but if you are coming from G900TUVU1ANE6 the new update will have a size of about 140 MB.
