AT&T has
released the Android 4.4.2 KitKat OTA Update for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 and 10.1 inch tablets. It is not a major upgrade, but it will still add
several new features and functions that should make your Android device much
more stable.
The new
Android 4.4.2 upgrade build is live and it might possibly be the last one with
KitKat in its title, as AT&T will most probably start testing the Android
5.0 Lollipop firmware, so that it will be ready for an early 2015 release. Up
until Lollipop arrives you should simply confirm the installation of this new
Android 4.4.2 UCU1ANK2 build on your tablet.
With Android
4.4.2 UCU1ANK2 you will receive the following new changes: Google Play
Store purchases will now be billed on the AT&T Bill for all the postpaid
accounts, Kid’s mode is now available using the Galaxy Essential app store.
There are no other major changes listed on AT&T’s website, but there are
bug fixes and stability improvements added, too.
The update is
released via FOTA (firmware over the air) and you will be able to download it
using Wi-Fi connections only. Note that the update is rolled out in phases,
which means that not all AT&T Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 / Tab 4 10.1 models are
updated this week. However, if your tablet is 100% stock, then you will see
this update released for it. Note that the update won’t be pushed out for
tablets that are running custom ROMs.
In case your
Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 / Tab 4 10.1 device doesn’t show the new Android 4.4.2 update
notification, then you should manually check for new firmware files by going to
Settings> General> About Device> Software Update and tap on ‘check for
updates’ button. If there are any new Android 4.4.2 firmware files ready for
download, then you should simply confirm the process and your tablet will take
care of the rest of the updating process automatically.
