A leaked internal document belonging to U.S. Cellular, reveals that the carrier plans on pushing out Android 4.4 for the Samsung Galaxy S4 starting on February 19th. The OTA update, called a Maintenance Release, is being sent out on a staggered basis which means that not everyone will be unwrapping their chocolatey update on the same day. U.S. Cellular says that it will take 10 days to make sure that all of its subscribers have Android 4.4 on their Samsung Galaxy S4.
The update will remove the Daily Perks and MobiTiles apps from the OS. If you want to continue using them, you will need to go to the Google Play Store, download and install the apps.
If you're a Samsung Galaxy S4 owner on U.S. Cellular, make sure that you have the latest version of Android loaded on your phone or else you will be bypassed for the update which starts on Wednesday.
