Probably the uvall4 update. It primarily features the kernel fix to eliminate the ExynosAbuse hole. if you are on uvalk8 presently that is what it is.

Did it prompt your phone to boot into the factory recovery and install the update? Or did it have an icon in your notification bar with the Samsung Apps logo?

I highly doubt T-Mobile would update your phone to enable LTE when LTE is only completed in two cities (Las Vegas and Kansas City). I bet it was the UVALL4 update.
Post a screen shot of which build your own. I highly doubt its lte. Its prolly the multiview update since you said you got the phone the day before.

So tell us what the build number is dude. You've already been asked like three times. Post a screenshot. It's not hard to do.
How many new threads are you going to start for no reason? Every thread you start has 10 others on the same subject. Search a little and ask in a thread thats already covering your problem.

How about you get your facts straight dude because you obviously don't know what you're talking about. The update before UVALL4 did not contain the exynos security fix. And it is NOT a mysterious update. Again, search before posting false statements.

It seems like all the other major GS3 carriers have gotten updates which alter the google search function, but they all also got new radio/modem updates.
I wouldnt mind a radio update. Any thoughts/ideas when and if tmobile will get a similar update?
Hopefully when the really important updates come along like jb we're not last in line as well.

So I think its pretty obvious we will get an update to strip the search funcationality, but i wonder why the other carriers did it so fast (considering the issues with apple now) and Tmobile gets away with being allowed to wait
I'm not complaining I like everything the way it is right now. I like the search bar and am not hoping for an update to remove it. The brightness thing doesn't bother me that much as I keep it at almost max most of the time.
Some updates I do want to see though are of course Jellybean, and maybe if it's possible an update to improve 4G and WiFi connections.

Doubt "one day later" is really "been out much longer than", but yeah I wanna ***** and whine, too. I was hoping since the Intl. version had been out "much longer than" the TMO version, that we'd get the latest and greatest firmware with it included. Major let down on that front, but the phone kicks ass regardless. At least, this is good news, because it means our phones won't take much longer to get updated...hopefully!
You could also complain "everyone else sells accessories for the Note 2 except TMO" which is irritating, by the way (I've done my own *****ing and whining about that, too)
Summary: "Well, it's not for us; not yet. But can't be far now..."

That would be awesome if we actually got the update around that time :thumbup:
But news leaked that the international will get it in June....and I've never seen them release it for Sprint at the same time
This is great if it is true.
Interesting but history doesn't lie... usually international will get it then the US gets it months later. So I would not be surprised if you have been told false info.

I admit I am a little skeptical although sprint has been getting better with getting the updates out promptly so hopefully we all get a surprise next month lol

I'm guessing that to get that OTA 4.2.2 update I would have to go back to stock everything from something like this: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099)
I feel like quite a bit of people on XDA already are rooted and have a custom ROM that is already 4.2.2; is there a reason to unroot and go back to stock when 4.2.2 comes back?

No, check the thread in my sig (everything OTA)
Very common misconception

Right now only AOSP based Roms are on 4.2.2 for our phone. Some people like Touchwiz Roms better. You don't have to unroot. When OTA drops you can just flash a rooted version of the OTA update or other OTA based TW Roms when they update.

Is your Samsung contact actually from Samsung or just a 3rd party marketing partner like MarketStar or Marketsource?
MarketStar and Marketsource folks don't know squat.
This will be validated if we start seeing rdfs drop in the next couple of days as this has always been the cycle in the past.

All I know is that my note 2 is rooted but my wife's s3 is not and I still find myself using her phone all the time. It's a great phone and if it's updated to 4.2.2 that will definitely hold her off till her upgrade.
And like someone said, Sprint is getting better with updates, probably the best from the 4 major companies.

These samsung reps that travel from store to store know what they are talking about. I've gotten early ota's from them in the past.
