New Android 4.4.2 Update for Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Now Being Pushed to Sprint Users



If there’s a Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 laying somewhere around you, you should pick it up and see whether there’s a new software update waiting for you. Sprint’s support page says that a new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Android 4.4.2 update is now being pushed to users.
Because the Galaxy Tab 4 runs Android 4.4.2 out of the box, all the KitKat-specific features such as transparent status bar, white status bar iconography, improved Location menu, immersive mode, cloud printing, full screen album art in the lock screen, or color emoji support have came pre-loaded. The new firmware update is minor and according to the official changelog it “adds Kids Mode application.” Whether you want that app or not, it’s recommended to install the latest update as it also arrives with bug fixes and improved system stability.
The new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Android 4.4.2 update is labeled T237PVPU1ANL1 and it should have a size below 100 MB. Even so, we are recommending you to download it using a Wi-Fi network in order to avoid damaging your data plan.
Of course, the new update is being rolled out in phases, meaning that some of you might have to wait a bit longer before being able to download it. If you can see the system update message in the notifications area, all you need to do is tap on it, choose ‘Download now’, wait until the download is completed, then select ‘Install now’. Your tablet should reboot and install the new firmware. You can also check for the update manually under Settings > General > System updates > Update now or via KIES after you have successfully plugged in your Tab 4 to the PC using the USB data cable.
