T-Mobile
announced today that a new software update is now being pushed
to their own Samsung Galaxy S5 variant. If you happen to have one by your
side, you should keep an eye on the notifications bar. The new update is still
based on Android 4.4.2 and only brings minor changes.
The roll out
for the new Samsung Galaxy S5 Android 4.4.2 update started November 24 and, as
usual, we are dealing with a staged roll out. This means that some user might
have to wait longer than others. Unfortunately, T-Mobiles website doesn’t reveal too many details about the new update, except for
the fact that it brings Chinese language support.
The new
Android 4.4.2 update for Samsung Galaxy S5 will update your baseband to
version G900TUVU1CNK2 and you will be able to retrieve it over-the-air. If
the OTA update fails to initiate (the system update notification doesn’t
appear), you can also try a manual pull down (manually check for the update
under Settings > About device > Software update > Check for updates
now. The new update is also rolled out via KIES so you can also plug in your
device to the PC using the USB cable and use Samsung’s software to check for
the update.
The update
file shouldn’t be too large in size if you’re running a recent build, but, even
so, it’s advisable to download it using a stable Wi-Fi network to avoid
unwanted data charges. T-Mobile also notes that if you are coming from software
version G900TUVU1BNH5 the update will have a size of around 33 MB, but if
you are coming from G900TUVU1ANE6 the new update will have a size of about
140 MB.
