AT&T Pushes Out A Minor Service Update For The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active

AT&T Pushes Out A Minor Service Update For The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active

Michael Crider Michael Crider

Galaxy S4 Active users on AT&T, don't get too excited when you see a new software update message appear in your notification bar. This is a minor update with minor changes, and once you apply it the phone will still be running the same Android 4.4.2 build that you've had since June. According to an AT&T support page, the update includes just three things:

What's changing?

  • Connectivity improvements related to receiving calls and text messaging
  • Security patch
  • Updated Google apps

We've got no idea what kind of updated Google apps Ma Bell put in there, since Google prefers to do its own updating via the Play Store these days.

CyanogenMod 11 Nightlies Now Available For The International Galaxy S4 Active

CyanogenMod 11 Nightlies Now Available For The International Galaxy S4 Active

Michael Crider Michael Crider

The Galaxy S4 Active is pretty solid as both a high-end phone and a "ruggedized" handset, but as with a lot of Samsung devices, TouchWiz keeps some power users away from a purchase. Now the indefatigable CyanogenMod team is giving you some AOSP-style options: they just released their first nightly build for the S4 Active. You can pick it up for your phone at the usual spot and install it via the custom recovery of your choice.

Samsung And AT&T Resume Rollout Of Android 4.4.2 For The Galaxy S4 Active After 6 Week Hiatus

Samsung And AT&T Resume Rollout Of Android 4.4.2 For The Galaxy S4 Active After 6 Week Hiatus

Cody Toombs Cody Toombs

Back in April, owners of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active were treated to the ultimate tease when an update to Android 4.4 KitKat began rolling out, only to be put on hold a few days later. The only explanation was a claim that AT&T and Samsung were "looking into potential improvements." It looks like the time has come -again- for the S4 Active to make the jump to KitKat.

Samsung And AT&T Pause The KitKat OTA Rollout For The S4 Active While They 'Look Into Potential Improvements'

Samsung And AT&T Pause The KitKat OTA Rollout For The S4 Active While They 'Look Into Potential Improvements'

Cameron Summerson Cameron Summerson

Last week, AT&T started pushing the KitKat OTA to Samsung Galaxy S4 Active owners on its network. Looks like that was a short-lived rollout, as the company has now halted the update, explaining that it is working with Samsung to improve the OTA.

Seems like that's something could've been done before the update actually started rolling out, so the odds are that something is actually broken and both companies are just staying mum about it.

WIQIQi Galaxy S4 Active Wireless Charging Reciever Cancelled Due To Legal Issues, Stock Will Be Destroyed And Indiegogo Backers Refunded

Ryan Whitwam Ryan Whitwam

Samsung, for whatever reason, has not released a back plate for the Galaxy S4 Active that allows it to take advantage of Qi wireless charging. The folks at Monster Watts seemed to have a solution with their WIQIQi battery attachment, and even managed to pull off a successful Indiegogo campaign. However, legal issues have forced the cancellation of the product.

The company makes WIQIQi attachments for several other devices, but according to the campaign site, legal issues with the water-resistance claims of the GS4 Active gave them pause.
