    Nothing for me yet on O2. But they are always the last so I'm not surprised.

    I seem to have lost a couple of applications which seems a bit odd. Although I was rooted so that may have something to do with it.

    Mine is updating as we speak. (Unbranded) Had to perform a manual upgrade from the 'About Phone' menu though. Seems to take a while to download and I expect it will take a little time to decompress, install and check app compatibility.

    Happy to be getting 4.4.2. at last on the S4 though :)

    I thought the update was meant to be giving us S4 users a new dialer? Or is that only on the nexus phones?

    Also annoying that you cannot 'hide' apps from the application screen anymore, now you have to put them in a folder.

    Think new dialer is nexus only.... Never understood why they got rid of hiding app ability.

    As for the person who asked re memory card mine is still working fine.

    O2 customers it's you're turn for the note 3 anyway. I personally don't see kit kat going on the s3 after the last update seemingly turned them into like galaxy ace's

    I have an unbranded S4 from The (CSC is BTU l think)

    Upgraded yesterday, only noticeable difference l can see is the notification bar is now white from whatever it was before.

    Cant really tell if it appears any faster.

    It doesn't matter what network you use it on, it matters what network configured it for sale.

    Mouse over the 3 letter codes under the region and it should tell you the country and network. Going from memory 3 code is H3G.
