Android 4.4 OTA Heading to AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Customers

AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Kitkat Android 4.4.2
Those of you with a AT&T branded Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will start seeing a new update to download that moves the device up to Android 4.4 KitKat. It brings the usual KitKat goodies like the white icons in the status bar, default messaging app choices, and specific sounds for Samsung apps. Here is what AT&T has to say about what is on the way.

•Improved user interface: The latest version of Android includes enhancements such as re-styled status and navigation bars, a new full-screen-immersive mode, color emoji support, improved closed captioning support, stronger security and smarter power use.
•Default messaging app: Choose a default messaging app when multiple messaging services are installed.
•Improved GPS performance
•Enhanced music access: Full screen album art and media controls are available from the lock screen when listening to music.
•Camera access: The camera can also be accessed directly from the lock screen.
•Location menu: An integrated location menu enables users to easily activate GPS and share location details.
•Wireless printing: Integrated support for wireless printing available in enhanced settings.
•New sound controls: Set sound for specific Samsung applications in enhanced settings.

As always, the OTA is going out in stages, so not everyone will see the update today. You can check in as always and see by going to Settings > More > About Device > Software Update > Check for Updates. If you do happen to see it available, make sure you have more than 50% battery left when you start the download and that you have some time on a solid Wi-Fi connection.
