        You guys if still under warranty and unfortunately find yourself with an unstable kit kat updates can either bring phone back to Samsung Service Centre to see if they can help you undo & roll back to previous version. The reason why some people experiences problems while some are doing fine is because everyone of us install our own combination of different Apps & programs that react differently to the variant of kitkat update specific to your phone. Those people who always wants the latest Android version should stick with Google Nexus devices which is earliest to receive updates & more likely to have more App developers already updating their Apps that you install in your phone as compatible to the latest Android version & thus less buggy. Its not because the Samsung kit kat version is lousy or not ready and Samsung just push it to you. Because some people who install the same updates as you do not experience any negative effects on their phones as they do not have those Apps that you download that maybe not so compatible with this Samsung Kit kat Environment yet thus more buggy when running in the Kit Kat environment. Alternatively, you can slowly troubleshoot which of your Apps are affecting your kit kat updates negatively then uninstall them. It always take at least a year, more often longer before latest Android OS is made very compatible with most Apps because the individual App developers need time to fix the compatibility bugs that their Apps have with the different variant of Kit Kat updates yet. As of now, the most newest Android version that has the widest compatibility with most Apps would still be 4.2 version. Android 4.3 is fine with most Apps as well. kit kat probably will only have more Apps compatible by next year. Hope this help explains.

                Solution for frequent restart plz give a try::

                press volume up + home button + power button simultaneously... it will go to recovery boot.. from there use volume buttons to scroll down to wipe cache partition and select it by pressing the power button...then select reboot system now.. NO COMMAND message will be displayed but nothing to worry..

I haven't faced any issues in last 3 months of usage. Sometimes 3G signal is weak in some area. In those areas you can put the network mode to "GSM only" (i.e. 2G mode). This should solve your signal tower problem.

                                Kitkat update - worst for grand 2
                                I cannot make or receive calls. Cannot change my lock screen wallpapers. Google acct not getting synced. Google chrome crashing. Cannot use internet. Its too slow. Factory reset solves all for a few time but den d same continues.
                                Pls dont upgrade till fixed.

                                    Yesterday my phone automatically , started downloading 360.9 mb , i cancelled the download , as i though to get review of Kitkat knowing it is the most problematic OS update in history of Android ( See Nexus 5 issues ).

                                    Should i update to Kitkat or are all users of Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 with this update facing issues.
