Users of Samsung Galaxy Note 3 under the carrier AT&T and HTC One Max of Sprint will have a homework—to upgrade their phones to Android 4.4 Kitkat since both carriers already initiated the roll-out of the OS for their respective subscribers.

GottaBeMobile reports updates of Android 4.4 Kitkat for the U.S. market started weeks ago with carriers T-Mobile, Sprint and U.S. Cellular deploying theirs for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Samsung Galaxy S4 as early as possible. It leaves AT&T and Verizon without the Kitkat release, but as of March 27, 2014 in the U.S., after AT&T delivering the latest Android version, Verizon is the only network without one. Users, on the other hand, will not be surprised, for Verizon will be the last to deliver the much awaited OS update.

AT&T released a report of the update recently in its blog. The update contains more than 500 MB that may take time to download, but when installed, the user's Galaxy Note 3 will definitely get even better.

Good Changes Android 4.4 Kitkat Brings

The change from Android 4.3 Jelly Bean to Android 4.4 Kitkat will indicate enhancements on the device including a better user interface, an integrated location menu, a default messaging app, new sound controls, better music and camera access, and an improved GPS performance. At the end of 2013, AT&T persistently received complaints regarding GPS issues, and it is a good thing that the Android 4.4 Kitkat roll-out brings the necessary fix.
