My Note3 is running 4.4.2---I downloaded Google Wallet but was told on 16 Nov by a guy at Google that I need 4.4.3 or higher to use it---He said that update was sent to Verizon some time back and that the latest update to Lollipop had already been sent to Verizon also---When will I get the update so I can actually use my Wallet App?---Has anyone else gotten an update beyond 4.4.2?

this may sound like a dumb question, but have you manually checked for available updates in your phone?
Apps>settings>general tab>system update

Hello, Nicholas---What I did to get Google, as I recall, was I used my Android computer and got to a "Contact" spot where I could Chat---The response was IMMEDIATE which really impressed me---Then I was typing away about not being able to use the Wallet App and I saw a box that asked if I would like a phone call to speak with someone---I clicked Yes, I think, and again the response call was like in about 5 seconds---Very, very impressive---The guy yakked with me for like 20 minutes about their updates and how the updates work from Googles end---He followed up with an e-mail message and said if I want to ask him anything more to go back to that e-mail and hit reply and the query will go to HIS e-mail so I'll still be talking to the same person---Good luck---And yes, I did try checking for updates on my phone about a gazillion times and it always says it's up to date---But I've seen on chat before that some Verizon Note3 users have already been able to download the Lollipop upgrade on something called KIES---Other places I saw where Verizon was expected to upload a Kit Kat update sometime in October or November---What phone do you have and what update are you running?---And what part of the country are you in?---I'm in Florida---Don't know if that makes a difference in update availability or not---

I actually was considering recommending Samsung Kies to you. Its a free download from http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
It will allow you to do updates, and also works as a great way to backup your device.
I actually use a Sony Xperia, so I'm kind of out of the loop on the actual update availability, but I dabble in different phones quite a bit.
