For the time
being, the G Pad 8.3 is the most powerful LG tablet currently in Verizon’s
line-up. If you happen to own an LTE-compatible Verizon LG G Pad 8.3, then you
should keep an eye on the notifications panel as a software update might be
ready for you.
Verizon
announced on their support
page that a new LG G Pad 8.3 Android 4.4.2 update is now being rolled
out to users. Since G Pad 8.3 VK810 runs Android 4.4.2 out of the box, all the
KitKat-specific goodies such as transparent status and nav bars, white status
bar icons, new Location menu, color emoji support, cloud printing, immersive
mode, or full screen album and movie art came pre-loaded. The new software
update only arrives with minor changes. According to the support PDF the new
firmware adds 4G LTE roaming support in select markets and brings a fix for
power on issues. You should also know that Redbox Instant is no longer
supported. It’s also worth noting that the update has software version
VK81023A.
Just like any
other software update, the LG G Pad 8.3 Android 4.4.2 update is being
pushed to users in stages. This means that certain users will not be able to
download and install the software right away. As you may know already,
when your device becomes eligible to receive the new firmware, you should
notice a system update message in the notifications bar. Tap on it, then follow
the on-screen instructions. You also have the option to search for the update
manually under Settings > About device > Software update > Check
for software updates.
Verizon’s
support PDF doesn’t mention anything about the size of the new Android
4.4.2 update for LG G Pad 8.3, but it shouldn’t exceed 100 MB. Anyway, it’s
recommended to download it using a Wi-Fi network.
