Sprint recently started rolling out Android 4.4.4 to its version of the Samsung Galaxy S5. While it’s not the latest version of Google’s mobile OS, this new software adds some recommended security patches and a few extra carrier-specific goodies like an HD voice icon and international WiFi calling support.

After watching just about every other carrier-connected variant of the original Moto X updated to Android 4.4.4, owners of the T-Mobile version of the handset are now receiving the latest flavor of KitKat. The phone never really released on the magenta-hued carrier and was instead sold by Motorola at full price as the “T-Mobile edition,” so perhaps that’s why the update took so long.

Sprint’s prepaid arm, Boost Mobile is now rolling out Android 4.4.4 to its version of the Moto G. As seen with other handsets, the latest flavor of Google’s mobile operating system patches some security holes related to OpenSSL, while adding the ability to pause and resume video recording.

Better late than never, Canadian wireless carrier Rogers’ version of the original Moto X is finally getting its dose of Android 4.4.4. If you haven’t received an over-the-air notification, the update can be initiated through the phone’s settings by tapping: Settings, About phone, System updates, and then selecting the install option.

Sony has confirmed in a tweet that it is rolling out the Android 4.4.4 update its older Z-series devices.

Sony says there are “many improvements” in the upgrade, with better battery performance in background applications and improved email stability & performance singled out for particular note. The company recently unveiled the newest incarnations in the line, the Z3 and Z3 Compact.

SamMobile also notes that Galaxy Note 3 owners on the Sprint network should also receive a 4.4.4 update today.

The Android 4.4.4 update will bring international Wi-Fi calling, version 2.0 of KNOX, and the Kids Mode feature that debuted on the Galaxy S5, along with bug fixes and security patches from Google.

Samsung of course recently launched the Quad HD Galaxy Note 4.

After watching UK and Verizon Moto X owners receive their Android 4.4.4 updates, AT&T customers are now being awarded the latest version of KitKat for Motorola’s popular smartphone. This new software push squashes some system bugs and adds a few performance enhancement’s to the Moto X’s camera, including the ability to pause video while recording.

Android 4.4.4 is now available to Xperia Z1 owners on T-Mobile’s network. The new software push moves the handset’s build number to 14.4.B.0.37 and adds a few cosmetic changes, along with support for Sony’s SmartBand SWR10 and Lifelog app.

Motorola announced on Thursday that it is now rolling out Android 4.4.4 for the Moto G on Verizon, just two days after seeding the software update for the UK version model of the smartphone. The latest version of KitKat for Moto G includes an OpenSSL security fix, video recording pausing, updated phone dialer, new Motorola Alert app download, stability improvements and more. 

The push for Android 4.4.4 continues with UK Moto G owners receiving the latest wave of KitKat starting today. While it may not be the most feature-rich update, Motorola has provided a changelog outlining what people can expect. As seen with other devices, Android 4.4.4 patches a potential OpenSSL hole, and offers some stability improvements, however the Moto G has also managed to score a few extras.

Android 4.4.4 has slowly found its way to several off-contract devices and it looks like its time for the latest version of KitKat to make its way to some carrier-connected handsets. If you’re the proud owner of a Verizon Droid Maxx, Ultra or Mini, you’ll want to check your device for an over-the-air update or manually initiate the software push by tapping Settings>About phone>System updates>Download.

If you ponied up the dough for a Google Play Edition HTC One M7 or M8, your Android 4.4.4 over-the-air update is now on its way. As revealed by other devices, this new software’s primary objective is to fix bugs and patch security holes, so don’t expect any cosmetic improvements. However, if you endured the high premium for a vanilla Android experience and frequent software updates, this is your moment to take a victory lap.

Android 4.4.4 is on the move and the latest handset to be blessed with an over-the-air  push of Mountain View’s newest version of KitKat is the Google Play edition of the Moto G. Released to tackle a few bugs and potential security exploits missed by its predecessor, this fairly lean update doesn’t bring much to the table in terms of aesthetics.
