DO NOT ... I REPEAT .. DO NOT update to 4.4
As stated by many users the same s#it happened to me. The phone restarts exactly every 2 mins whether it is engaged or idle. Its not due to some apps as i don't have any useless or untrustworthy app in my phone. The release itself is buggy which is admitted by a senior manager of a samsung RnD team which was luckily visiting the authorized service center where I took my phone. They have kept the phone and have promised to give it back tomorrow... god knows. But they were gracious enough to provide a brand new decent phone as a backup for the time being...##appreciated.
P.S. The manager of the RnD team also categorically mentioned not to accept & install any updates via OTA and always visit a service center for updates as the OTA process is very likely to mess up the phone during installation.

I didn't notice it earlier since I tried only the live wallpapers. If you use the option "Home and Lock screen" and select live wallpapers then it works(the wallpaper changes on both home screen and lock screen). But using static wallpapers doesn't work- it always goes back to the default wallpaper in lock screen.

I have read that Galaxy Grand 2 got kitkat update in India. I have updated yesterday which is of 360.90 MB update. After updating I noticed only two problems that lock screen wall paper is not changing and also while unlocking screen lags for a second like displaying blank screen. Except that I dont find anything problematic. How to solve these problems. Does reset help?

AnonD-283917, 16 Jul 2014Man. You went to the service centre?I agree with Ramki. Yes, flashing the ROM at service centre might fix the issue as mentioned in my earlier post. The only headaches are re-installation of all the apps again and of course, long queue (>1 Hour in my service centre).
A tip on backup: I use Super backup to backup contacts and SMS. Also, Many of us worry about how to backup whatsapp data. Whatsapp stores its data in a folder WhatsApp in internal memory. Make a copy of that in your SD Card(or in your PC) and after the factory reset, copy that back to internal memory. Then after you open Whatsapp and register your number again, it would say "found message data, do you like to restore"? You select yes and it would restore all the messages. However, somewhere I read that this restore of Whatsapp data would work only if you restore within 7 days- so be careful about this. I haven't yet tried to restore after 7 days of delay.

Regarding the GPS problem reported by me earlier- it was almost fixed after the 4.4(Kitkat) update, but still there were a few times when it was taking a long time to get the location lock. later on I found that that was because "Power Saving" mode was enabled. Now I disable "Power Saving" mode before using GPS and the lock is now very fast(less than 15 seconds in open sky and around 20-30 seconds near a window/inside my office which is a single floor building). I thought this tip(disabling Power Saving mode before using GPS) would be helpful for others- so posting it here.
