New Samsung Galaxy Avant Android 4.4.2 KitKat Update Now Available at T-Mobile

If you are among the T-Mobile customers who purchased a Samsung Galaxy Avant, then you should get your device ready to receive a new software update. According to the carrier’s support page a new Samsung Galaxy Avant 4.4.2 OTA update is now being pushed to users.

Unfortunately, we aren’t looking at a major software update so don’t expect any changes in terms of interface. The new Android 4.4.2 OTA update for Samsung Galaxy Advance arrives to introduce Chinese language support. Even though the official changelog doesn’t mention anything else besides Chinese language, the new firmware probably patches some bugs too and brings slight performance improvements.

The Android 4.4.2 roll out for T-Mobile Galaxy Avant users begun December 8th, but, as usual, the update is being released in batches. This means that some users will have to wait longer than others before being able to update their smartphone. You probably know already that once your Avant becomes eligible to receive the new update you should be able to see a system update message in the notifications bar. All you need to do is tap on it then follow the on-screen instructions. You can also perform a manual check under Settings > About device > Software update > Check for software updates. Alternatively, you can grab the USB cable and check for the update via KIES.

The new Samsung Galaxy Avant Android 4.4.2 update is labelled G386TUVU1ANK3 and even though there’s no mentioning of its size we are recommending you to download it using a WiFi network so you won’t damage your data plan. Also try to have the battery charged above 50%.
