The official
Android 4.4.4 KitKat OTA update is rolling out right now for the 10.1 and 8.0 inch variants of
the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4. The update has been pushed earlier by Verizon
and you should check the tablet’s Notifications panel to see if there are any
new firmware files available for download.
Android 4.4.4
KitKat OTA Update for both Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 and Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 features the
same firmware versions: VRU2ANK1. The new update is rolling out only for
the Verizon variants of these tablets and it comes with the following changes:
tablet self activation support, Find My Mobile, Kids Mode Widget, My Verizon
10.0.710 update, Hancom Office with support for reading comments of pdf file,
Here & Now widget is no longer present. Besides all these changes you will
see that numerous bugs have been fixed; now your tablet should be much more
stable than before.
The new
Android 4.4.4 update is rolled out by Verizon in phases, so you shouldn’t panic
in case the firmware doesn’t arrive today for your device, as the roll out will
continue until all the tablets are successfully updated. When your Galaxy Tab 4
8.0 / Tab 4 10.1 device shows the update notification you should simply confirm
the download and installation process.
If the update
notification isn’t shown by your device, then you should go to Software Updates
menu and check manually for it. Remember that these types of updates are only
sent out for 100% Stock Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 and 10.1 variants, so you shouldn’t
expect to receive any update notifications in case your tablet is running a
custom ROM.
The Android
4.4.4 KTU84P VRU2ANK1 firmware update build will probably be the final KitKat,
as Samsung along with Verizon will start to work on releasing the first Android
5.0 Lollipop firmware for the Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 and Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 tablets.
When the Android 4.4.4 OTA Update notification is shown you should simply
confirm the install process and then your tablet will complete the rest of the
process by itself.
