android - 4.4.2
Baseband - I9505XXUGNE5

            It isn't bug free yet bugs aren't excessively irritating. Missing concealing applications from applications rundown. A few hiccups in exhibition and scrolling on home screen. Display isn't improve yet see more http://goo.gl/3f3WBe

              Hi,
              The above settings will make default sync for all the apps enabled, which I dont want. Before kitkat I was able to do manual sync for email or other apps as per my need.

                                        Android 4.4.2 was launched way back on 26th February in India. But I have not received the update yet. I tried to do it manually but the server responded "Latest updates are already installed on your device"
                                        I want to ask if this is due to the different region from where I purchased the mobile?
                                        Or should I have received the update immediately after it was released in India?
