updated to 4.4.2

some cosmetic changes

noticed a lil lag while swiping home screens but dissapeared after wiping cache

default Samsung keyboard emojis are smaller in size

S5 calculator

gallery opens a bit faster

battery life not yet tested

smooth interface..noticed a boost in performance

no S5 weather widget:crying:

no s-memo:(

no "hide apps" option in app drawer

no change in camera UI

S5-ish icons at some places(can expect to see more....hope so)

cant remove tripadvisor and flipboard like we could in Grand after 4.2.2:mad

To sum up...pretty good update..though expected S5 UI:D

Thanks Samsung:laugh:

Reboot mistake

[MENTION=4684574]chiragvagh[/MENTION]: Does yr Grand 2 have reboot mistake? As I heard many people have that mistake, it reboots continuously.

---------- Post added at 06:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 AM ----------

Hi there. Is there anybody that's using Grand 2 ver 4.3? Does your Grand 2's battery have the mistake that can't fully charged from lower than 15%? When you charge, it just stops @89% or 93% but if you remove your battery away and then put it in again, turn on it will reach 100% immediately :confused::confused::confused:
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] EthanDev:
press volume up + home button + power button simultaneously... it will go to recovery boot.. from there use volume buttons to scroll down to wipe cache partition and select it by pressing the power button...then select reboot system now.. NO COMMAND message will be displayed but nothing to worry...:)

Kitkat Update problems

Got the kitkat update today for my Galaxy G2 and got F***** again by SamDUNG.

Once the update was done, it started continuously rebooting every 5 minutes. Managed to save only my contacts. Lost all the rest.

Made a factory reset and wiped out cache partition too. Now it seems okay for the last 5 min.

[Galaxy Grand 2 General] shashik008:
please dont update to kitkat

guys dont update to kitkat..i upgraded to kitkat and facing some issues..

cons

1) gaming is not at all good..lots of framedrops ..games like asphalt 7,8 ,hayday,subway surfers are playable with frame drops..i recommend stick to jellybean 4.3

2)you cannot change lockscreen wallpaper if the lockscreen effect is set to ripple effect

pros

1)better multitasking

2)opening apps take less time

3)great battery life

4)no heating issues while gaming

i think samsung underclocked the GPU that is why gaming has become a problem..waiting for update

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 PM ----------

The update is currently available only in OTA (over the air), but it will soon come up via Samsung Kies too. To check if the update has reached you, you can got into Settings > More > About Device > Software Updates > Update. The size of the OTA is 360.90 MB do it’s better if you use a Wifi connection to avoid Mobile data charges

CAN I??

Okay guys im happy u guys get the kitkat...May i ask something.. What if i download the firmware from SaMobile and flash it through ODIN but its not my phone country firmware. Mine is taiwan version "BRI".. And the kitkat update only in INDIA both is "INU/INS"...Does it affect my phone? Or need to tweak something before doing it?

INdia firmware is G7102XXUBNG4(PDA)

Mine is G7102ZTUANE2(PDA)

Please Advice...But im currently staying in SIngapore...Does it mess up network or something..Im kinda NOOB...HaHa..

TIA.....
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] EthanDev:
Lockscreen issue is not a big 1 as most people will use pattern unlock or pin or light effect.I use pattern cause swipe unlock opens my phone and opens apps when its in pocket..

Still though its a minor bug

Framerate drop is noticeable but at occasional times.. rest everything is good

[MENTION=5371526]harshchoudhary[/MENTION]- you can changw it in sim manager settings
[MENTION=3557853]razer679[/MENTION]-no problem if you flash it but i would suggest you to wait for your region version

People, the update is not bad..just some minor bugs which wil be fixed in the coming stability updates

Found a new option in display settings "Auto adjust screen tone"-Adjust the display brightness based on the on-screen image to save power

I updated through OTA and downloaded thru the wifi.

Well, there are plenty of complaints on this and u can see them reported on various websites related to GG2. The problem is they did not mention to clear out the cache area...

[Galaxy Grand 2 General] EthanDev:
[MENTION=5948026]anant.vyawahare[/MENTION]- No bro.. i checked again.. theres no problem like yours...i ticked the options as yours and checked again... nothing happened

NO COMMAND message will be displayed but nothing to worry..

From yesterday my phone restarted occasionally..so i did a factory reset..but today morning it fell in a restart loop..i took out the battery and wiped the nodes..since then it never restarted today the whole day..i remember i used colin to wipe the nodes before..may be that caused something.. but believe me it never restarted.. and i didnt face this or any other problem on 4.3

Also i concluded that the battery life on 4.4.2 is not good... i need power saving to last a day..as i write this post i have 21% left (10:43PM)..fully charged and used from morning 6:45AM which inluded a no. of restarts,texting on whatsapp,browsing etc NO LISTENING TO SONGS..

Rest good..NO GAMING

Hi Guys,

I updated to the Kit Kat version on 19th July. But I had an error message phone.com has stopped. So I took it to the service center to get it checked and now they have installed Jelly Bean 4.3 on my phone. When I go to the software update section, it says there are no new updates available. I am so looking forward to the Kit Kat version. Can someone let me know how I can install now?
