Android system update tonight?

Just got a notice about an Android System Update tonight on my Sprint GS3.
Says that it is 39.7MB in size.
I'm rooted running the Blaze ROM, so I am not going to do the update.
Just curious as to what it might be?
Anyone else out there get this update notice?
Here is a picture of my phone:

True, running Blaze v1.6 currently.
Hate not knowing... but what is "LG8"?
I know in my Baseband version it says "LG2", but I have no clue what that even means.
Thanks for your reply!

LG8 is the latest firmware. Adds better LTE connectivity I believe and a screen brightness slider below the notification toggles. I think that's all that stands out from it.

Thanks!
I am in Idaho... about 20 years away from an LTE update :crying:... and I have an app for brightness...
So I think I'll just stay on Blazer 1.6 and avoid the update until there is a JB rom released.
I appreciate the help!

NP, you could edit your build.prop to stop the update notifications, do a search also, I think there is a flashable file out there that will stop the notifications too...

yuup just the lg8 update
heres the link to the zip that will stop the notification http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817460,
however i do recommend going and downloading the lg8 modem from the forums here and flashing it. made all the difference in the world for me at least as far as connections/speed go. dont think it was just for lte as i dont have it yet either and did a lot for me

help please, Major issue, Lost my data

So I went to put a new rom on my phone, well not new, just from Jedi mind trick V6 to V8
after I was all loaded up, I have no data plan anymore
This is what comes up

ok.. So I reverted back to my backedup nandroid I did before putting that new rom on.
Still have the same damn thing.
In my many years of roming and rooting, I never once had this problem.
Appreciate the help

Yes, but you will need network data enabled. :silly:

You do not need root for surfing without wifi. You only need network data enabled and internet connection from your mobile carrier.
And what kind of instruction do you need ?

You just need mobile data enabled. (settings - connection tab - mobile data)
That's it.
You need the same to surf when not in a call also.

No
Short Answer is No. Not until Sprint which I am assuming is your carrier enables VoLTE. We do not have two antennas like GS4, GS3 and a few other sprints phones. Hope that Helps

See thats where im confused. I have internet service as im using that on my phone now without wifi. I also have data on but when i receive a call and try to use internet it wont let me. I just got the phone yesterday and am hating it just because of that. I multitask so i need my phone to do the same

Thanks. Now i wish i wouldv just stayed with my s3

It might depend on what variant and carrier you use, but I do believe it is possible on the G3. I just gave a call and mobile data a try simultaneously on my unlocked UK 16GB D855 (on Three UK) and it worked. Signal is kinda weak at my house which may explain the data speeds.

[Q] APN and MMS question

Really liking the note4 so far, but i've run into a few small issues. Firstly, Is there a way to modify or create a new APN on this device? The option to create one (the little plus sign) is greyed out and the preset verizon one is unable to be modified. Are these settings that need root to be modified?
Secondly, I've been unable to send MMS messages. I'm thinking this could be related to the apn settings, or not. Just wondering if anyone else came across these issues or knows what I could do. I am able to receive MMS and pictures messages, just not send.
Thanks all!

Hm. I haven't heard of the issue. Maybe a factory reset? I'm not too sure.

When you look at your APN settings (settings->more networks->mobile networks->access point names) are you able to add an apn? when you pick verizon internet (the default in mine and what is shown in the picture in OP) are you able to edit those settings?
Thanks

My phone hasn't come yet, actually. I'm sure some others with one will be able to answer that question soon.

Thanks. If anyone else sees this and could check I'd appreciate it.
I did do a factory reset and got MMS working fine, but the apn settings are still unable to be changed. I'm sure they're meant to be that way but was curious.

Hey, if you put another non Verizon sim card, the option to change the APN will become available. I tried putting a t mobile sim in it and it worked =)

LG G5 (LS992) Getting No Data On T-Mobile

Hi all!
Just transferred my phone (LS992) from Sprint to T-mobile. I got it unlocked by Sprint so calls and texts are working. However, data refuses to work and I suspect its the APN settings that is wrong. I tried to add new APNs but everything is greyed out. Can anyone confirm that their LS992 can get data from T-Mobile? All the older fixes seem to not work anymore.

There is no way to change the APN settings in anything past ZVD as far as I know.

this applies even with an official domestic unlock from Sprint ?
if that's true Sprint is violating FTC rules.

Same Issue - Sprint to Tmobile
I have the same issue a Sprint LG G5 - unlocked by sprint months ago. Went to Tmobile - phone and text works, but no data. Was on the phone with Tmobile and they mentioned if we could only get to be able to put in APN manually we could get it to work. I guess this is Sprint's way of causing heartache to those that leave. Tmobile gave me an LG number to call, but I haven't done that yet.

You could sell this one and pick up one with older firmware off Swappa. I recently got a near-mint G5 for $100 flat.
