The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 has recently received the new Android 4.4.2 KitKat OTA update from Samsung in various markets.
Now, starting with today the WiFi based models of the Note 8.0 will receive the latest Android software starting with the UK models.
Of course the new Android 4.4.2 KitKat update will be rolled out for all the WiFi devices during the next days, or weeks, so if you have an WiFi-only Galaxy Note 8.0 device and you haven’t received an automatically notification until now, don’t panic as you’ll be able to install it very soon.
As we can imagine that the new update will be rolled out by using the OTA (Over the Air) channels. Unfortunately, not all users will be able to receive it at the same time, because of that the new update will be released gradually or in phases. Of course, you can install the same update by using the ODIN application or the official software released by Samsung named KIES.
Though if you are an user who don’t know to apply the new update on your device you shouldn’t worry about that, because if you received an automatically OTA notification on your device’s notification area only that you need to do is to tap on this message and the update will be downloaded and installed automatically on your device.
If you didn’t receive the OTA notification and you want to manually install the new update by using the ODIN application, first you should to download the firmware file that is compatible with the WiFi Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 device on a PC based on Windows OS, then you will just have to download and install the ODIN software on the computer and to follow a suitable step by step guide that can show you how to do this installation.
Anyway, all UK users of WiFi Galaxy Note 8.0 device who want to know if the new update is available or not for their devices, should check for it by visiting the “Settings -> About tablet -> Software Update”. If there is an OTA update available just download it and make sure that the device has enough power left on its battery.
