Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition receives Android 4.4.2 software update

Last Friday, the Android 4.4.2 update started rolling out to the LG G Pad 8.3 Google Play Edition and the HTC One Google Play Edition. Now the latest version of Android has started rolling out to the Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition. The new update is being pushed over-the-air (OTA) and you should receive a notification when the update is available for your device. If you have not received the notification, you can manually check for the update under Settings.

Android 4.4.2 is supposed to fix an issue that Nexus devices are having with SMS messages and also removes a hidden privacy feature called App Ops. This has been a part of all Android builds since 4.3 and was designed to help Android users better control what kind of data Android apps could collect while installed on your phone. Google said that App Ops could break some apps if left as part of the OS, and was released by mistake.

So if you own the GT-i9505G, you should receive the software version KOT49H.S0001.131204 which is 57.4MB in size. If you don't feel like waiting for the update to hit your phone, click on the XDA sourcelink below to manually download and install the update.
