Samsung Galaxy S4 mini for AT&T receives Android 4.4 KitKat
The Samsung Galaxy S4 mini for AT&T is now receiving the Android 4.4 KitKat software update. The new software updates the Android version from 4.2.2 up to Android 4.4.2 and brings the I257UCU2BNG4 build number. We've already seen Android 4.4.2 arrive on Verizon, Sprint, and US Cellular variants of the device, so it's about time for AT&T customers to get the same experience.
With Android KitKat, you will be getting several new features and improvements, including the white notification bar icons, a larger selection of emoji, new wireless printing options, and consolidated location settings. The media controls on the lock screen are different, and there's a camera shortcut tucked away there as well. Additionally, you should also be getting several enhancements from Samsung to their apps and their TouchWiz custom user interface for Android.
The update is available OTA (over-the-air) and is being rolled out in stages so you may not see the update immediately. In fact, according to Samsung's support page, the update was launched sometime last week. So if you are a Galaxy S4 mini customer on AT&T look out for the update notification or check for it manually under Settings.

Sprint has introduced Wi-Fi calling, which allows customers using select Android devices to make calls over Wi-Fi instead of using their voice minutes. With Wi-Fi calling, users can make unlimited calls as long as they are connected to a Wi-Fi network. Sprint is not the first carrier to offer this, T-Mobile has offered the service since May 2011.
Unfortunately the Wi-Fi calling feature is currently limited to the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini and the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3. These are definitely not the top smartphones on Sprint's network, so it looks like the carrier plans to test the Wi-Fi calling feature with a smaller user base before a wider availability.

Keep in mind that Sprint's Wi-Fi calling feature is only available to make local calls and texts. You will still have to pay a fee for international calls. If you don't have either phone, don't worry. Sprint says it will add additional Android models throughout this year.
