Hi guys, Samsung are rolling out Android 4.4.4 to their mobile devices. But I have not seen any reports of that update for our Tab S or even the Tab Pro. Any news on this?
And what specific changes did Samsung add to Touch-wiz in this update (to the devices it's been released on).
Thanks
A new Samsung Galaxy S5 Android 4.4.4 KitKat update is hitting the phone to solve problems and also to prepare it for the upcoming Voice over LTE technology.
The Android Kitkat updates have been hitting the phones of major carriers but the last several either caused new bugs or didn’t solve all of them, prompting the 4.4.4.
“One of the devices that’s in the midst of an Android 4.4.4 KitKat update push is the Samsung Galaxy S5. Just about a week ago, the Galaxy S5 Android 4.4.4 KitKat update hit the Verizon Galaxy S5. The update was a bit of a surprise given how slow Verizon typically is to Android updates. The update’s change log was never publicized though there’s chatter about it fixing a Bluetooth issue. Today though, Verizon is rolling out a bunch larger Android 4.4.4 KitKat build,” according to Gotta Be Mobile.
The new update includes fixing the problem of an incorrect number of unread emails on the notification screen, and audio of the Bluetooth headset, and a camera shutters sound issue.
More tracking features have also been added to the S-Health, including Weight, Sleep, Stress, and Coach.
The update also includes tech that prepares the device for the upcoming VoLTE technology, which enables calls to sound better and clearer while having users talk on the phone while being able to use the Internet at the same time.
While Verizon’s S5 is the first model to get the 4.4.4., the other models are expected to receive it soon.
Meanwhile, some variants of the Galaxy S4, Galaxy Tab 3 and Galaxy Tab 4 have been getting the Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware recently.
The latest Google Android build is Android 4.4.4 KitKat, but that is only coming out for the very latest Samsung devices such as the Galaxy Alpha and the Galaxy Note 4–and the Galaxy S5–at present.
In the United States, Sprint are working on releasing the Android 4.4.4 KitKat for the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S5, while T-Mobile could be rolling out the update for the Galaxy S4.
Some United Kingdom carriers and Optus in Australia could also be making the update available for the Galaxy S5 and Galaxy S5 LTE-A.
Samsung could eventually release the Android 4.4.4 KitKat update to its other phones, but at present, Samsung users will have to stick with a slightly older Android build.

You're not even serious LOL. the Tab S had only been out 3 months. Samsung has been known to update their devices up to 2 years out from release.

This is their flagship device. I'm very confident we'll see the L Preview and their next iteration of the "L", after that.

Agreed. Looking forward to it.
That was a nice joke
My guess also is that Samsung will skip directly to L for the Tab S. They don't do frequent updates, that's true. So why would they bother with a relatively insignificant interim update?
Hi devs, i was wondering whether it would be possible to port the A51 rom to our A50 devices, so we can get Android 10 and one ui 2.0 a little earlier. I think most of the specs are similar between the two devices.
Hoping to hear from you

Many packages still need to be modified. Not worth the hassle.
A50 is expected to get Android 10 ( One UI 2.0 ) soon.
Samsung is already rolling out Android 10 for M20/M30 reportedly in India and other regions ( phase 1 ).
The previous time-line of A50 getting Android 10 in 2020 quarter has been dumped.
A50 users can expect Android 10 as we slide on to the next year in a month.
Cheers !

Probably not tbh
The new Nova 9 global version came with EMUI 12 based on Android 11.
There is no excuse now for Huawei not to release an EMUI 12 / Android 11 upgrade for our global versions of these phones (P30 / Nova 5T / etc).
Let's hope they will.
Next major global Huawei software update, but when?
At HDC 2021, Huawei announced new software technologies including the HarmonyOS 3.0 developer preview, Huawei Mobile Services Core (HMS Core) 6, and a number of new announcements in terms of cloud. There were also new data that has been revealed about ecosystem development that has been raised...
www.huaweicentral.com
But what about the global consumers, when they’ll receive the same treatment or should I say, the next major Huawei software update?
Currently, Huawei has released both – EMUI 12 and HarmonyOS 2 in front of global Huawei consumers at the launch conference. However, only EMUI 12 is being released with new smartphones among the global models.
Meanwhile, the global consumers want to know their own faith and they’re pretty much at the peak of their excitement as well as disappointment at the moment. Their comparison is quite right with the Chinese consumers, where they are being treated with a full banquet of features brought by HarmonyOS 2 software update.
As a global Huawei smartphone owner, I too feel that the software must be upgraded and people cannot run the same software over and over, while other smartphone makers are sending the newest addition to the system.

It was just announced that a number of non Harmony -OS phones are getting a EMUI 12 update, but sources on this are sceptical if whether the base OS will get an actual update, most agree that it will mostly be a launcher and skinning update.

What amazes me - and to be honest, it is frustrating - is that Huawei has not made clear yet which version of Android OS will be underneath EMUI 12.
Here are some facts, and some thoughts.
- Nova 9 was released a few days ago with Android 11 - based EMUI 12
- GSMarena says:
Huawei isn't saying on what version of Android is EMUI 12 is based but judging by the recently launched nova 9, it's probably safe to assume that it's Android 11.
Click to expand...

- But, let's consider this: Older models such as P20 were supposed to get only 2 major Android updates. P20 was released with Android 8.1, it was updated to Android 9 and then to Android 10. Isn't it strange that they are included in the list of the phones that will get EMUI 12 if EMUI 12 is based on Android 11 ?
- huaweiblog.de reports (translation from German):
We are assuming that only licenses up to Android 10 have been purchased. Furthermore, it could of course also be that the older devices are not updated to Android 11, but an EMUI 12 version based on Android 10 is installed. Unfortunately, HUAWEI cannot leave out this when asked.

You should know that the new EMUI version is unlikely to make any major changes to the underlying Android system. EMUI 12 is supposed to be based on Android 11 - and not, as initially assumed, Android 10. Google services and services are still not on board.

Huawei should give Android 11 to the phones that were supposed to get it when they were released (such as P30 series).
I do find it next to impossible that they will upgrade all the phones of that list to Android 11. So maybe this is the most probable scenario:
EMUI 12 has been developed to run on Android 11, although perhaps we can find an exception in the lower power terminals. Perhaps some of the latter hold the heart of Android 10, as the brand has not specifically indicated which version of Android will be the one that will run in its ad.

Which would be great for us, the P30 owners. I have little faith that Huawei will do that, though. They seem to have lost their way and their software upgrading plan seems like a mess these days.
I also read that the EMUI 12 update will most likely be based on A10. I dont have a problem with Huawei doing this as long as they dont break the existing features. One of the things I am enjoying is the gesture navigation. In my oppinion their implimention is superior to other brands like Xiaomi and Samsung.

It seems that we have an official confirmation that EMUI 12 on Nova 9 is based on Android 11 (AOSP) and NOT on Harmony OS ! So the UI is inspired by Harmony OS, but the actual OS is Android 11.

Please can someone tell me if the A70 will get android 12 update? S10 is officially getting android 12 and the A70 was released after the S10, also it was a quiet expensive device so I don't see why it won't get the update.
Samsung promised 3 OS updates for the S series, starting from S10. It also promised 4 years of security updates (only 2 OS) for every phone launched in 2019 and beyond.
No OEM loves long-term supports. It's bad for business. So there's no official One UI 4.x for the A70.
But that's why we're here. Of course there'll be some unofficial ports. And it'll be exciting.

S10 series was released in early 2019 even before A70 was released and will still get android 12 so why not the A70? They said they will give A series 3 major OS updates like S series and then they just decide not to do that! This is unacceptable.
EDITED
Maybe that is to force you to buy new phones, I am not sure.

The official word from Samsung was to give their flagship Galaxy S-series five years of support, like Apple, that is 3 major OS updates, and two years of support.
The official word for phones released in 2019 and beyond is to give them 4 years of support, 2 major OS updates, and 2 years of security updates.
Understand this. The 3 major updates are only for the S-series (possible the Note, too) as of Samsung's official essay. That means neither the A-series nor the M-series are included.
That doesn't mean there's no chance we might not get Android 12, officially. But, even if that happened, it'll not be soon. That's how business works. Push people to buy the next phone.
In my country, I can trade my phone with an S10 for less than 50$. Maybe you should buy an S10 if you really want 12.

It was released later.
Yes, it came out later but as one more of the note 10 series. That is the reason for the request. I understand Samsung's update policy but we are not talking about a single model, we are talking about the top-of-the-range family in its day. The stupid trend of releasing 20 models under the same name. Then these things happen and people get angry and rightly so.

Lol, why care? Android 13 might be worse than 12 especially for the Note even if Samsung did do it
I'm still running on Pie on this N975U. Current load is over 2yo, still fast and very stable with minimal maintenance. Security is not an issue... what's not to like?
Upgrades and updates can and do break Samsung's. No plans to touch my firmware as long as it's fulfilling its mission.

I respect your opinion and the decision not to update. It is true that Samsung is not always right with its updates and personally I think that one ui 4.1 and android 12 ruins the phone, it does not run smoothly, it has excessive battery consumption among other failures. But, did you try one ui 5? I'm running the beta on my s21 ultra and I think it's one of the best updates I've tried in years. Without being a final version, the improvement is very remarkable. This is another reason to ask Samsung to update all Note 10 series models. Forget one ui 4.1 and its bad optimization.

Thank you. I've seen Samsung upgrades/updates break phones too many times. Any improvement that could be had by upgrading be marginal at best with my N10+'s and more likely would be detrimental.
I have two N10+'s, one running on 9, the other 10.
That's what they came loaded with. I think the Pie variant is the best of the two. Never used Android 11 or 12 because I have severe doubts about scoped storage. Don't want it.
Be interesting to see a side by side performance test between 9, 10, 11 and 12.
At this point both Samsung and Google Android are completely off the rails. No desirable new flagships from Samsung and Google is still chasing down endless rabbit holes making their OS less functional and the user a slave to cloud apps/storage. Sorry, but I see no point in even trying to reason with either company.
No Sale, they both can just f-f-fade away...
Is potentially possible to get a Custome ROM for SM-N975F like copy 1:1 from Note 20 Ultra Android 13 OUI5.0 .
Maybe creating new upgrade ROM for that phones .
there is a phone called samsung m62.it has the same chip like note 10 plus which is exynos 9825.i think android 13 port can be developed for note 10 plus.they did that with note 9 as it has the same chip as note 10 lite
Is possible to port stock original ROM A13OUI5.0 from Note 20 Ultra, which is almost the same phone without chip and some other parts but have now upgrading and is the same series Note`s .
M62 is Very old and not upgrading to A13.

Hi.
Did you read the petition and the messages? The note 10 lite is the only one that will receive one ui 5. The rest, 10, 10+, 10+ 5g will not be updated. The signatures are few and they increase very slowly and I don't know the date of the update for the lite models although I am sure that when people start to see the great improvement that android 13 and one ui 5 supposes the signatures will increase rapidly.
