There are no signs of an Android 4.4.2 update for the Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S3 to appear anytime soon. Previous reports stated that the Android 4.4.2 Kitkat update will be released in May, however a date has yet to be announced. 

According to reports, the Android 4.4.2 Kitkat update will likely be out by May, but before that the South Korean tech giant has to send it to carriers for certification. Carriers will process the certification for quite a while, so the length of the wait will depend on them. If the reported timeframe holds true, the update is expected to be available for Note 2 devices by the end of May.

The delay of the Android Kitkat update may prompt some Note 2 holders to go for the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update instead - an OS update Samsung has been rolling out in phases, but which still is not complete months later, and the only update available for the Galaxy Note 2.

The Android 4.4.2 Kitkat update is reported for the following device models: AT&T SGH-i317, Bell, China Mobile GT-N7108, China Telecom SCH-N719, China Unicom Gt-N7102, International GT-N7100, International GT-N7105, KT SHV-E250K, LG U SHV-E250L, Mobilicity, NTT DoCoMo SGH-N025, Rogers, SaskTel and Telus SGH-i317M, Sprint SPH-L900, SK Telecom SHV-E250S, T-Mobile SGH-T889, US Cellular SCH-R950, Verizon SCH-i605, Videotron and WIND SGH-T889V.

When ready, device owners can opt to update their devices through Odin. They will not need their carrier to release the update and manually update their Note 2 and Galaxy S3 devices.

Meanwhile, Verizon customers who have the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, Note 3 or S4 devices, will have the latest Android version update about a month from now. According to Rootzwiki, the Big Red will roll out the update for Note 2 and Note 3 by May 23. The S4 devices will receive the update five days later, on May 28.
