If you got
your Samsung Galaxy S3 from Sprint then you might have a software update
waiting for you. The carrier officially announced on their support
page that a new Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.4.2 update is now being
pushed to their users.
Because all
the KitKat-specific goodies such as transparent status bar, white status bar
icons, immersive mode, cloud printing, new location menu, full screen album and
movie art in the lock screen, or color emoji support where patched in the
previous Android 4.4.2 build that was released in the first half of 2014, the
new update only comes to add minor changes. According to the official changelog
posted by Sprint, the new Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.4.2 update brings HD
Voice Icon and Google Security Patches.
As usual, the
new Android 4.4.2 update for Samsung Galaxy S3 is being rolled out in
phases, which means that some of you might not be able to download and install
it right away. Once your terminal becomes eligible to receive the new firmware,
you should be able to see a system update message in the notifications
bar. All you need to do is tap on it then follow the on-screen
instructions. If the system update message failed to appear, you would also
want to check for the update manually under Settings > General > About
phone > Software updates > Check for software updates now. Alternatively,
you can grab the USB cable, connect your smartphone to the PC, and check for
the update via KIES.
You should
also know that the new update has build number L710VPUCNJ2 and that it
might weigh in around 100 MB. We are recommending you to download the update
file using a Wi-Fi network in order to avoid unwanted data charges.
