LG8 update 3G speed increase !

The new sprint update has made my 3G a little faster ! I was getting like 0.23mbps down and 0.10 mbps up. I ran a speed test after I updated and check it out ! Almost 2mbps down woo! lol I'm used to AT&T speeds but I switched to sprint because my job gets a 23% discount for us .

Nope. Same slow speeds fo rme even with LG8.

How did you update to LG8? I have tried multiple times by going to settings and selecting update but it says my phone has no update available. I am still on LG2.
Thanks!

If you are rooted flash a custom rom that has it built in already such as Clarks Sonic Rom. I think Freeza also has instruction on how to upgrade if you are stock.

Thank you! I searched for Freeza update to LG8 and found the thread. Much appreciated!

Glad I could help.

Same here my speeds increased after the latest Sprint update. Though I noticed I'm on ehrpd instead of evdo now, might be coincidence, not sure. Didn't know they were upgrading the towers yet here in Central Connecticut.

There was a thread floating around . You just manually update it . You get file and put on ext SD card and boot into recovery and apply update .YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE ROOTED.

OTA ICS update Epic Touch 4g on Boost

Just received the ICS update prompt. Is it safe to do so being on Boost?

So you are a boost customer and got ics ota notification? That can't be bad.

Yes on boost service and received ota ics notification update.

Im not familiar with the process to flash to boost but whats even better is you guys now have ICS rom leaks specific to boost now

Not a boost user but have seen posts from users where flashing / updating doesn't wipe settings.
If it would, then theoretically a nandroid would take you back.

port sprint jellybean offical update ?

tmobile offical update for jellybean wont be until the end of 2012, so cant we just port the official jelly bean update from sprint? cause basically the sprint gs3 and all other carriers are the same internally except for the radio. so as long as we just flash the rom without the radio, we should be good ? i have no idea. idk. just a thought

I'm sure someone will try it out soon, but I'm pretty sure you can flash Sprint and att roms no problem

I've read only att roms are safe to flash for t mobile s3
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I believe all the carriers have pretty much identical hw except the radios. They most likely have the same partition mapping and so its probably ok to flash anothers roms.
That said, I would NOT do this without solid confirmation. Its basically an educated guess on my part. (A day or two ago someone said they flashed a Verizon rom and it worked, but again, I wouldn't take my or their word for it alone)

Ktoonsez built his touchwiz kernel off the sprint jb source so I'm with doc on this. It's most likely safe. I'm hoping T-Mobile will release their source soon.

Someone in general clashed Sprint and Verizon ROMs just fine. The only issue was getting radios to communicate with the software. I believe they got everything working on the Sprint ROM but Verizon had extra authentication methods.

The OP could be telling the truth, but till a credible member verify this, I'll question the validity of his/her post. Still, even if it turns out to be true, It remains to be a question whether a sprint rom is flashable on ours or not.

You can flash a sprint rom just fine. will stuff not work without modification? yes, but you will not brick it.
Now, if you flash an international rom to a US variant you will brick because the partitions are different. But everything is the same on the US variants. You do have to change things in the build.prop and make other mods to make it work on GSM. The only thing bad would be if the sprint rom flashes a modem but that wouldn't even brick because you could just flash the correct modem

I also want to mention I released a straight stock port on the ATT forums. This release will work for tmo as well. You just have to change the build prob stuff to show it as a t999 instead of a i747

All the S3 from US carrier have the same hardware. It could be ported just that the radios will have to be changed. I wont doubt it if they do it :good:

OK guys no more talking, that's the official JB for the sprint version, ported for the T-Mobile
Check out. Working great on my phone.

Who downloaded 4.1.2 update?

Is anyone able to download the update ota? When I check for it it gives me a weird message .. update is provided to users in order they request it. Try later....
What the hell?
Does this mean we are actually getting that update and did anyone successfully download it ota by checking for one?
Is so what is different? Someone mentioned it has a radio update? Will it make the 4g speeds faster?
Thanks in advance

You're not getting 4g anyhow. Because this phone isn't compatible with T-Mobile's 4g network.

Got my OTA update the night of Feb 5th. I dont notice a difference since installing but it is only a small update anyway.

So why does mine doesn't let me update it.. keeps saying update is in order which it was requested in or something like that.. what the hell it's 4 days already and I cannot download it.. it says try again... what the freak... is it a normal thing with this update? What do they mean in order that the update was requested.. how can someone request it before me if they are on T-Mobile as me? Makes me confused... last ota update just said there is a new version available...
Can anyone explain?

New Samsung update will not come out in the next 30 days for Tmobile

I just got off the phone with tmobile and it seems they are not going to release the new update for the S4 in at least 30 days. The supervisor said they know a month in advanced and they have not heard of anything. If this is true I am pretty upset. What the heck is taking so long? Is there a way to update to the newest samsung fw and still have all of tmobiles features. I would love to get this, root my phone and then install Wicked V3 and faux's kernel without having any problems. Has anyone been able to do something like this? It seems that people who are doing the international versions are having problems. Is there anyway to do this problem free?

I didn't think they were going to release it at all.

Apps 2 SD should have been there in the beginning. I think 2 months is patient enough.

Personally I've given up on waiting for Tmobile to release updates. My wife's gs3 got her update for multi window 1 day before she got her gs4, which has multi window included. The only way I wait for official updates is on nexus devices. Right now I'm using foxhound ROM which has apps to SD, but it is a trade off because it doesn't include WiFi calling.

Keep in mind besides losing WiFi calling all non stock international roms are having force close issues with NFC payment and most of them have gone as far as disabling NFC payment. I like the international roms but couldn't deal with a random NFC payment force close pop up happening periodically.
