Samsung Galaxy S4 Snapdragon version has received a brand-new
software update that improves the OS and it adds some stability tweaks.
The update has been pushed out earlier today to Germany and numerous
users have reported that the internal storage space has been increased
and, from now on you will be able to move applications to SDcard.
There are several other enhancements added but, the stock OS will
stay to Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean while the firmware build is
I9505XXUBMEA. This new OTA Update is available for Germany-based Galaxy
S4 Snapdragon 600 phones and it build date is May 29th. Also, it seems
like this update should be available soon for the GalaxyS S4 Exynos 5
device in the next few weeks.
Samsung decided to work on this release after users complained about
the numerous bugs found in the original batch of Android 4.2.2, the
first firmware that was delivered with the Galaxy S4. The 16GB model of
this device will have its user accessible memory increased so that you
will be able to install more applications. Also, from now on you will be
able to ‘move apps to SDcard’, a feature that was available until now
in all the previous Android operating systems.
Other changes added to the Android 4.2.2 XXUBMEA Jelly Bean OTA
Update for Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 are as following: a new and improved
Camera firmware, Smart Pause Toggle added, Move Apps to SD Card, HDR
Video is now supported, Semi-transparent notification bar, new Icons for
the Settings menu, Secure Boot status and a new feature that improves
the legibility on Super AMOLED displays.
There are some other small tweaks and improvements that should
enhance the overall performance of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Snapdragon
model. Since this update is only available in Germany, you shouldn’t
bother to check for ‘System Updates’. Other countries will get the OTA
Update to Android 4.2.2 XXUBMEA Jelly Bean soon.
If you’re in Germany and you didn’t receive the OTA Update
notification, then you should go to ‘System Updates’ menu and check for
availability. If the updating menu of your Samsung Galaxy S4 tells you
that you’re already on the latest Jelly Bean firmware, then you can run
the Samsung KIES software on your PC for the OTA Update files to be
installed on your device.
However, even if this update hasn’t been pushed out for your Galaxy
S4 region, then you can easily flash it using ODIN and this guide HERE.
That’s a manual guide that you can use to get the latest Jelly Bean
firmware update for your device without losing any data files in the
process. The news and file availability have been released via SamMobile.

Bean? If you did, is your device working better and the ‘move apps to
SD card’ work correctly? Tell us in comments your impressions after
