Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Android 4.4.4 Update Now Being Pushed to AT&T Users

Even though Android 5.0 Lollipop is a thing now, only the Nexus devices and a couple of Motorola smartphones have received the update so far. In the meantime, Samsung announced that the Galaxy Note 3 Android 4.4.4 update is now being rolled out for the AT&T variant of the smartphone. Therefore, if you purchased a Galaxy Note 3 from AT&T, you would want to keep an eye on the notifications bar.

Because all the KitKat-specific goodies such as transparent status and nav bars, white status bar icons, cloud printing, new Location controls, immersive mode, color emoji support, or full screen album and movie art in the lockscreen were patched in the Android 4.4.2 update, the Galaxy Note 3 Android 4.4.4 update only arrives with minor improvements. According to the changelog posted on Samsung’s website the new firmware arrives with Note 3 Value pack which includes Kids Mode, Side Sync 3.0, Safety Assistance, Camera improvements, and Knox 2.0.

As usual, the update is being rolled out in phases, which means that some of you might have to wait longer than others. As you may know already, once your terminal becomes eligible to receive the new firmware you should be able to see a system update message in the notifications bar. Tap on it, then follow the on-screen instructions. In case the system update notification failed to appear, you would also want to perform a manual check under Settings > More > About device > Software update > Check for updates. Alternatively, you can grab the USB cable, connect the device to the PC, and check for the update via KIES.

It’s also worth mentioning that the new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Android 4.4.4 update has baseband version N900AUCUDNJ5 and a size of around 450 MB. We are recommending you to download the update file using a WiFi network in order to avoid unwanted data charges.
