New Samsung Galaxy S4 Android 4.4.2 Active Update Is Being Pushed to AT&T Users

AT&T revealed on their official support page that that a new Samsung Galaxy S4 Active Android 4.4.2 OTA update is now being pushed to users. Therefore, if you happen to own an AT&T Galaxy S4 Active, you’d better keep an eye on the notifications bar. Anyway, you shouldn’t get too excited as it looks like we’re talking about a minor update.

Because the KitKat-specific goodies such as transparent status and nav bars, white status bar icons, new Location menu, immersive mode, cloud printing, color emoji support, or full screen album and movie art for the lock screen have been included in the previous Android 4.4 updates for Galaxy S4 Active, the new Android 4.4.2 OTA update doesn’t bring any change to the UI. According to the changelog posted on AT&T’s page, the new update comes with connectivity improvements for receiving calls and texts, security fixes, and updated Google apps.

As usual, the new Android 4.4.2 Samsung Galaxy S4 Active update is being rolled out in phases which mean that some of you might have to wait a few more days to be able to install it. Once your phone will become eligible to receive the new OTA update you should be able to notice a system update message in the notifications panel. Tap on it then follow the on-screen instructions. In case the system update notification failed to show up, you would also want to check for the update manually under Settings > More > About device > Software update > Check for updates. Alternatively, you can grab the USB cable, connect your device to the PC, and check for the new update through KIES.

It’s also worth noting that the new OTA update has build number KOT49H.I537UCUCNH3 and weighs in at 127 MB. It’s recommended to use a stable Wi-Fi network to download the update file in order to avoid unwanted data charges.
