Sprint has rolled out a new “MK2” software update for the Samsung Galaxy S4 that resolves issues affecting sleep mode. The update should improve battery life on the device, which has been a problem for many users since they updated to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean a few weeks ago.

Google has successfully managed to roll out the Android 4.4 KitKat update for all the supported Nexus and Google Play edition devices within a couple of weeks of the OS being announced. Sadly, the current build of KitKat is not without its issues and contains a lot of bugs and issues, especially on the Nexus 5.

Google has already stated that it is working on an update that should fix most of the issues with KitKat. Turns out, the update might just be  around the corner and might land before Christmas arrives. 

Samsung Galaxy S4 users on NTT DoCoMo in Japan will begin to receive their Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update later this month. The update will add a number of new features and TouchWiz improvements, including support for the Galaxy Gear.

Starting tomorrow, U.K. residents will be able to pick up Samsung’s former flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S4, on either an O2 or Vodafone 2-year contract completely free of charge through The Carphone Warehouse. This promotion is taking place to celebrate Cyber Monday and is only available on the retailers official website, so, unfortunately, its not obtainable from any of its bricks-and-mortar stores nationwide.

Best Buy is now offering Samsung’s former flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S4, completely free of charge with any 2-year contract with Verizon, AT&T or Sprint, from either the retailers website or one of its many bricks-and-mortar stores.
