Looks like Sprint is sending out the 4.4.2 update today. Verizon should be about a month away with how they do updates.

What and where are the "unnecessary" optimizers? Which one's are unnecesary?   I think there was a list floating around on one of the posts about fixing the 4.3 update debacle and I may have already gotten rid of some, just checking to make sure if you can tell me please?

I would wait until the Kiit Kat update gets pushed. Won't be much longer and why do it now when you will have to do it again after the update.

One guy on another site is claiming to have gotten it. That doesn't appear to be the case however. Hopefully we get it by the end of the month or early next.

The Galaxy Note 2 just got 4.4 so I would expect the S3 to get 4.4 within the month.

Just went to Settings on my phone and checked for system update.

KitKat 4.4.2 is here.

I may wait until this evening to download and install.

Yep, It's here in Metro Detroit. I downloaded it and d so far so good.  Only glitch I see right off the bat is that it keeps asking to sign into gmail account and into gallery for Picasso in the notification bar.  I DO NOT want to upload or in any way use Picasso. I hit cancel but it comes back.  Lemme know what you all find out about that.

The request screen shows the icon I used for the Google account alongside the Gallery icon & reads:

"Gallery would like to:

Picasa Web Albums"

With the following disclaimer just above the Cancel/OK button:

"By continuing, you allow this app and Google to use your information in accordance with their respective terms of service and privacy policies."

Ok, I found the issue...

Here is the fix.

Settings > Accounts > Google > You@gmail dot com > uncheck Sync Picasa Web Albums
