If you
purchased a Galaxy Tab 3 from T-Mobile then you should keep an eye on the
notifications panel. According to the Magenta carrier, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3
Android 4.4.4 KitKat update is now being pushed to users.
The Samsung
Galaxy Tab 3 Android 4.4.4 KitKat software update is rolled out over-the-air
and, as usual, the roll out is being made in phases. This basically means that
some users will not be able to download and install the new firmware right
away. I remind you that as soon as your tablet becomes eligible to receive the
new update, you should be able to notice a system update message in the
notifications bar. Tap on it, choose ‘Download now’, wait until the download is
completed, and then press ‘Install now.’ Your tablet should reboot and install
the new firmware. If the system update notification failed to appear, you would
also want to perform a manual check under Settings > About device >
Software updates > Check for software updates.
The T-Mobile
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 was still running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, so the update to
Android 4.4.4 KitKat is quite major. You should expect the KitKat-specific
goodies such as transparent status and nav bars, white status bar icons, cloud
printing, immersive mode, color emoji support, new Location menu and full
screen album and movie art in the lock screen, along with Samsung-specific
updates such as enhanced Samsung Keyboard, KNOX, and more.
According to
the support page on T-Mobile’s website, the new Android 4.4.4 KitKat for
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 will update your baseband to version T217TUVUBNL1. They
also mentioned that the update file has a size of 537 MB, so it’s recommended
to download it using a Wi-Fi connection in order to avoid damaging your data
plan.
