The Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update is now available for Samsung Galaxy S4 owners on the T-Mobile network.
The update is currently available over-the-air (OTA) and via Samsung Kies on Wi-Fi. The software update arrived one week after the scheduled release date, at 5 am this morning.
The OTA update will be available from Nov. 26, 2013 to Feb. 1, 2014. Be sure to be connected to Wi-Fi as the software download size is a whopping 781MB.
The latest update includes KNOX security update and provides support for the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch.
Verizon became the first U.S. carrier to provide the 4.3 Jelly Bean update for the Galaxy Galaxy S4 on Oct. 28, followed by Sprint. AT&T began rolling out the update on Nov. 13. However, Verizon and AT&T's update drew complaints of bugs from numerous users.
The 4.3 updates have been pulled by AT&T and U.S. Cellular after Samsung reported some issues.
One such complaint is the unstable Wi-Fi connection on the S4 after upgrading to the new 4.3 software. Other users are complaining of battery drainage issues.
Needless to say, the 4.3 update for Samsung's Galaxy S3 devices were also bug-ridden when it released initially. The software update for the Galaxy S3 rolled out earlier this month, before it was quickly suspended by Samsung after receiving reports of multiple problems, including poor battery performance, apps crashing, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Once again, U.S. carrier Sprint slowly started rolling out the update to the S3 devices last week, which should be safe and bug-free.
