He's talking about the native 4.3 update that was leaked to be released on 12/24 for the active. I haven't seen it on my phone as of yet. But I've checked so many times it's making me wait 23 hours to check again..

I fail. A customer came in best buy with an s4a and I did an upgrade check and it said he had an update so I assumed it was 4.3. It was probably mf3 4.2.2. I fail.
Sorry guys. ..

You can get around that by changing the date and time in your settings, if you wish. You can then just change it back after you've finished.

Except that the update will probably fail and you'll have to factory reset your phone to get it to take the update. At least that's what I had to do when the MF3 update came out. I tried all the tricks including changing the date. I went out 30+ days before I gave up. Once I set it back to the correct date it said I had to wait something like 800 hours to check again Once I factory reset it and left it overnight it did the auto-update.
The only noticeable difference between 4.2 and 4.3 that I've seen is Galaxy Gear compatibility for the S4. Maybe a couple things here an there but unless we can root it it's not really a big deal.

Oh, that's unfortunate. I did that last time and it worked for me with MF3...

If you used active root, install Titanium Backup and just clear the data from the AT&T Update package.
Presto! Check for updates as often as you clear the app data.

2014 will update S4 active
at new year i guess they will update this phone.....start of febuary....not even leak rom we can see now cause samsung want to skip 4.3 straight to 4.4........blast

I am done with the bulls**t and hassle of this active. I am going back to my S4 and maybe when they realize that us that are aware of the bootloader issue upon the next roll out, and wont re up on the newest device, they will let it go. I have 3 lines on my account. I use one. I pay 9.99 a month for the 2 just to have upgraded to the newest phone. I use 12- 20 gigs of data a month on just that one phone. Not including what I do in WIFI when I can. I honestly very rarely use tethering to run someone elses device which is the ONLY thing that would cost ATT anything by me rooting a phone and changing it to how I like. The fact of tracking the phone or my usage might be a reasoning but no other carrier locks their devices due to this. so guess what ATT. I'll pay your 250 contract default fee and roll on back to sprint. Should have never left but the Active was to enticing when I lost my s4 and had to buy another device anyway. Like sooooo many people say on this site. RESEARCH RESEARCH BACK UP BACK UP and for everything else...USE LOOKOUT tou find your lost or stolen phone

Besides what has been stated this phone is a piece of ****..I dropped my note like 20 times with no case and it was a trooper I traded it in for this toy and the first time I dropped it it cracked the screen from like less than waist high..wish I had my note back should have been called the not so active

Android 4.3 update, who's still waiting?

I know we have a lot of threads discussing 4.3 already, but those seem to be for people who have successfully downloaded it and worked with it. I'm curious to see how many others are still waiting on the update. I live in Canada and so far I've seen no sign of it, my device tells me I'm still up to date with 4.2.2. I don't have 3G but I regularly connect to WiFi.
It's not a very big deal... the update doesn't seem to have much that I need, except maybe a slightly faster speed when doing things. But yeah, I'm curious. Share your locations if you're still waiting.
EDIT: I really wish there was a way to edit the titles for threads...
EDIT 2: Thank you for that.

Im in russia with a UK model still waiting. Im too busy at the moment to actually flash it so im going to be patient and wait for OTA.
It seems we are always last on the list here to get OTA or any updates.
Could any Russian users post and let me know if they have the update

Canada here,
Still waiting on my N4 and N7.
N4 is on and off 3G doesn't seem to make a difference.
Last time around, the N7 got it within the week and N4 had to wait 2+ weeks until it arrived.
Austria; 212K N4 (stock everything) still nothing ...
I am on a custom rom and I am too lazy to go back to stock. Would wait for a week untill PA or CM have cooked their 4.3 builds.
UK, London - Tried the framework thing - Nothing....
Phone bought in UK, using Norwegian sim-card. Now travelling in Europe. Have checked (WIFI) in Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. Still nothing.
Croatia still didnt get it hopefully soon
No updates in Bangladesh either...

What choices do I have

Sprint has a policy of switching costumers to a different device after 3 exchanges. I'm waiting for my 3rd HTC one, all for the same reason with the SIM card error. I can't imagine that this replacement will be any different. With that being said what choices will I have for a new device

S4 pretty much. Maybe a Note II.
Quick question, are you taking the SIM card out at any time, or are you not touching it? Because I only ever had problems with mine after I removed it from my phone and put it back in.
I also have the sim card error but it comes and goes every once and a while. When ever I get it it usually goes away after 15-20 min. Even with all the issues the HTC One has I would never trade it in for any of the phones available atm.

Same. I haven't had the sim error, does it just deny LTE? If thats all it does I'd suffer for a bit (if you don't have a time restraint) and see what the Nexus5 announce says. The word is it has the CDMA bands for Sprint use and I've been itching to get my hands on a true nexus phone.

I've never touched it. My thought I'd that I shouldn't have to do quick temporary fixes on the phone. That and possibly giving Sprint a reason to deny liability.

Have you tried updating your Service profiles?
Just contact Sprint via chat, and ask them to re activate your device. They should ask you for your IMEI number.
Make sure they ask you for it. I had this happen to me after I got my phone's board replaced. The chat guy kept telling me to get a new SIM card, and I kept telling him it was pretty much the same phone, and exactly the same card. So yeah.

From what I remember when I worked there it had to be a manufacturer defect every time and the 3 swaps have to occur within a 6 month time frame. Not sure if yours fell into that. If they did then your store might be more screwy than others. Or you just weren't upset enough

It is not policy to switch after ther 3rd time it is at the discretion of the store. I doubt you would get a S4 they will probably offer a S3 I'm pretty sure a S3. I work at Sprint in Tampa Fl.

Seriously? An S3? That doesn't make any sense to me. It should definitely be an S4. When we had the EVO and Epic come out a lot of EVOs had issues and several people were able to do the swap and we got them into Epics. A phone a year older with much lower specs shouldn't qualify as a comparable device.

Scotch tape fixed it for my wife's phone also make sure SIM surface is super clean. My wife's phone had a big greasy finger print on contact side and recurring issues but after scotch taping on plastic side to keep it tight it's fixed. But I never had this issue on mine, I did however blow a speaker and swapped it a month ago.
I wouldn't take another phone over this still.

Is it 4.4.2? Or a minor update?

Probably a minor update. Haven't heard anything on Elevate unless Sprint is keeping htc out of the loop
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk
Last rumor that circulated said the update for 4.4.2 was going to be around 01/24/14 +/- so if I was a betting man I'd say it is a minor update to fix the issues with the 12/18 update. That and the HTC site that they say provides "real time updates" on OTA development says sprint is still in the integration phase of the 4.4.2 update (certification through carriers and google would need to go pretty fast to make it out by wednesday). I wouldn't put too much trust in HTC elevate though, the entire site seems to be a "pat HTC on the back" community.

Haha they get pissed when you say stuff like that over there. Some of those guys are defending HTC's choice to go with the s800 when last year's Note 3 had it. I can see if now in Samsung commercials "if you want last years specs get htc if you want current specs get sg5"

It's interesting to see they keep doing this type of small updates instead of go for the big deal. Unless they are addressing some serious problems(like security issues,) they should test the heck out of their one release and make it solid, instead of pushing one and the other just trying to fix the bugs in the fix they just released. it's a PR nightmare to me for these kind of activities.

I joined elevate by follow a link from here, and found it little use. I can't find any valuable information, but just a bunch of people discussing pointlessly. Anyways, HTC is a phone manufacturer, not like LG or SS with all the material, parts, a lot others. So I doubt they can come up with anything revolutionary. They have better software functions, that's true.

It could well be that in their testing these small Sprint features are breaking the OTA and that these features need to be updated just to enable the OTA.

I have been pestering at&t customer service about it as frequently as I can. Maybe once a week.
The chat guys are really nice but they admit they dont know anything about the update. They admit it has been released over 3 months ago (by samsung to at&t) and that they have to sanction it first. They also say "i dont konw, might be never".
I got a chat guy for AT&T to admit that 4.4.2 for S4 was released 2/26/2014
So if it was this recently, note 3's update is probably coming soon.

The title really should be changed.
1: it is misleading and makes people think it has been released
2: it has not been released so this "discussion" is exactly the same as the rest all over the forums.
3: it is a question in the OP asking for an ETA. Not really allowed and nothing has been said or heard on when it comes out. It gets released when it gets released. And since it is a question, it belongs in the QA section.

She got kitkat. We haven't yet. On her phone the entire system has to be bone stock to update. At least that's what I'd do just to be sure. Make sure she has a good wifi connection.

if at&t follows their usual update patterns, i expect it will be released in late april or early may (when the s5 is coming out). im assuming they're just waiting for the s5 to come out before releasing kitkat so people will buy the s5 instead of the s4 since it will be their only kitkat phone. just an educated guess

AT&T already officially released the 4.4.2 KitKat update for the S4 about 2 weeks ago.

How do I download Lollipop and is it worth it on the Note 3

While debating getting a new device after the Zenfone 2 not working out (looking for a dual SIM Lollipop phone)I am back to my Note 3 and am considering the upgrade except I can't find it. I have Smart Switch on my desktop and tried looking there too besides the usual place within settings on the phone but to no avail. Smart Switch does not show an available update. So all I got through settings was the most recent KK update dated in August. What am I missing? Didn't AT&T roll this out to customers? Why can't I find it? I don't want to root or do a custom ROM as I don't know what I'm doing in those areas and can't afford to brick my phone. Is Lollipop worth it on the Note 3?

Thanks. I did see that thread before. I meant did AT&T officially roll this out as an available update and if so, why isn't it showing up an available update? To be honest, I don't know the procedure above well enough to put Lollipop on to my Note 3 and I don't want to screw it up, especially after going through the ordeal I did with my Zenfone. I don't want to lose LTE on it, and so forth-I'd like it to be the official AT&T version. So the thing is-did AT&T actually roll it out? They seemed to, and my question is, if they did, why can't I download it through the normal software update channels then?

Yes it is official att software and are you on att network with an att Sim card if not you won't get ota from them you can also go to best buy and have them flash the most current software for you

Thanks. Yes. I'm on AT&T and it's an AT&T SIM card in the phone.So it's weird that it's not presenting me with an official OTA option. The SIM is provisioned for the Note 3. But thanks for the suggestion to go to Best Buy. I forget all about their Samsung section. They flashed an update once before for me when I was having problems. I forgot all about them.Next week though I'm likely getting a new phone so I may wait until I confirm that the new phone works out.

Well, there is a release delay in the phone I'm planning to get so I did go to BB today and they gave me the Lollipop update. Thanks for the tip as I'll be using my Note 3 a little longer than planned, so I figured why not upgrade. It still was weird that AT&T servers weren't giving me the update being I have a proper AT&T SIM card and phone bought from them in thd first place. Go figure.

I have found Lollipop to be just fine on the Note 3. No issue with battery life. Am getting my new phone today finally so have enjoyed Lollipop.Note 3 is still a fine phone. Can't complain-just looking for dual SIM at a reasonable price point.
