I have the update downloading and historically have been lucky with all of mine, never having had a single issue post update..... But could my luck be about to run out??? 

 

Has anyone else already updated and able to scare me off before this download finishes? I have done the normal googling around and read the same old stuff, but I am looking specifically for actual peoples experiences in the UK. 

Mine 'coincidentally' doesn't seem my SIM card any more following the update - but could genuinely be a coincidence.

 

Using a Nokia from 2002 instead...

WOW! That's a new one I haven't seen googling around, hopefully just a hardware fault that you can get fixed under warranty! I have my trusty S2 on standby. 

I've updated mine using Kies and it went smoothly and without any problems.

You can also do it using some software called Odin and a firmware file.

Smashing my head against a Vodafone wall of stupidity at the mo unfortunately.

The Jellybean update on my S4 knackered it well and truly, it would crash overheat and pause for 5 seconds EVERY minute! But Kitkat only caused me to lose mobile data which a factory reset sorted.

My wifes S4 updated OK with no issues, as above last update completely knackered it.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

Update complete, didn't use Kies went OTA. All is well, lost some shortcuts on first boot :( but have sort of remembered where to put them ish. 

 

All seems well, S2 is stood down again. 

No Flash support in Kit Kat if that'll bother you.

I thought that went ages ago, not just in latest version in 2012 ish? 

Updated my S4 the other night - not seen any issues so far from Vodafone or the device.

 

So far all apps I've used are fine (SMS/MMS, phone calls, music, Chrome).

 Nah I had it working on a nexus until KitKat. Not now.

For those of you with a technical flair then if you want to flash or root your device, I would suggest you pay a visit to:

Here you will find loads of information on how to do a manual flash or rooting of your android device, including custom firmware.

What makes you think installing KitKat will cause issues???     :think:

 

In technology, have faith young jedi.
