I am already on KK 4.4.2, but this morning I woke up and looked at my phone and the screen was on with a system message that the "Updated was completed successfully". However, there was no other info on what update was applied. Anyone else just get some kind of update? Not sure if it was firmware, or just some software update. It certainly didn't affect the KK version as that is all still listed as being the same.
One of your apps probably updated

No it wasn't an app update. It was a system message popup like you get when a service force closes or a new OS update is ready to be installed.
Profile update maybe? Sprint RDF site is still at ZVC so I doubt it was a firmware update. I mean I could be wrong and it could be a limited test and you could have been a lucky winner.

That's possible. I can't seem to find what was updated so maybe it was just some profile update or something similar, Maybe some updates to Sprint services they pushed out. Not sure at this point. Typically I only get the system update pop up when it's something like a firmware/profile/etc type of update. Normal app updates just show up in the status bar and don't give me a system pop up.
I just wish I knew what it was for.

got the same thing when i woke up this morning and still havent been able to figure it out yet either.
Edit: lol also the evo lte apparently had the same thing happen to my son this morning, rebooted and updated something but no clue as to what
It was new software to make it even easier for the NSA to monitor your communications.

Got a txt from Sprint a few days ago indicating a voicemail update on the 14th, maybe that's what it was.
Perhaps a PRL update, I woke up to one this morning... Woooo.

It was indeed a PRL update. I had it pushed to my phone last night. The weird thing tho is I do not believe the PRL update number changed at all. My PRL is now 51100. I thought thats what it was before. I know it was a PRL update cause I had my phone in my hands when it happend and it said prl update completed.

In one of the threads in the Sprint Forums.
Normally reps beat around the Bush, but in one of the threads complaining signal quality, a rep said May 31.
I'm guessing it's for the 3G/4G switching issues, and there was no mention of Knock Code though.
Yeah, um... never ... and I mean ever.... listen to service reps... lol.
There are numerous bugs since 4.4.2 released. Bluetooth reporting battery drain when off, LG backup is buggy, auto brightness still crappy, and.some other things.
The 3g/4g switching issues are network related. You can get all the updates in the world and until the network updates are finished its just something we have to live with. They could certainly disable band 26 and 41 on phones that dont have it in their area yet but we can do that ourselves so sprint wont bother.

I heard from somewhere (but don't remember where) that T-Mobile will be issuing an OTA update some time November to open up the wifi calling feature, is that right? Can someone confirm that?
Also, will that OTA be making an update to the existing firmware or will it be completely wiping out the existing system and flashing a brand new one?
Reason I ask is because I'd very much like to keep the root that I have right now with the "Voodoo OTA RootKeeper" app written by supercurio, but that app is only going to work if the OTA is an update, not a complete override.
a bit early, considering the phone just came out less than a month ago...
the next OTA will most likely be ICE 4.0
my guess Feb 2012
There is an update coming I think Nov 16 or something like that to bring us WIFI calling, but that's it for now.
This phone is a Beast..
i thought it was november 11
The 13th was what was quoted in earlier post as far as I can remember. Who really knows though. Should be coming soon though.
i don't count that OTA as an actual update, it's rather an OTA app install
similar to what we can do from Android Market web to install apps to our phones
just this is Tmo sending the app to our phones via OTA

I also read that its the 13th. I at least hope that Samsung would fix the lockscreen issue that a few user are facing. Luckily since I've been rooted on custom roms this hasn't happened to me. Although it did on the stock unrooted rom.

the update on the 13 is only for the WiFi calling app AFAIK
they might include some other bug fix, but i doubt they will have anything for the screen optimization
Oopps, yeah I meant the 13th. Lol.

Thanks guys. We'll see how it goes. See what's in there and whether I can preserve root after it.

Answer with your location if you have gotten the update. This also will help answer my curiosity on how they roll out updates and where. If anyone gets the update please post the manual download link
New link since the old one was deleted.
http://android.clients.google.com/p...0/eec955eb4a5b.update_SPH-L710_LI3_to_LJ7.zip
Start downloading people the official ota lj7. Boot into recovery and install with Samsung recovery and all will be good.!
Just got mine updated manually. Placed the zipped file on root on my sd card. Then shut it down. Removed and reinserted the battery. Held down the volume up, home button, and power until I saw Samsung display on the screen. A menu then came up and I selected restore from sd file or something like that. Install worked without a hitch!
I think, not sure, OTAs get to the "major markets" first, then more rural and smaller areas get them as the days go on.
I only say that based on my experience. I live in a small town in Western New York and it usually takes the OTAs a few days to get pushed here after an official announcement from Sprint
But I too am also interested in which markets get the OTA first.

Nope, havent gotten it.
I remember when I had my GS2, when the 4.0 OTA came out, people that got the update first extracted the URL of the update file and posted it here in XDA and so people that hadnt gotten the update could manually download it instead of waiting weeks for the OTA to hit their phones...
Will we have the same now for the GS3?

Yes, it gets stored in /cache, once someone gets the OTA they can pull it from there and upload it a file sharing site (Dropbox, mediafire, d-h.st, etc)

It's not a URL, it's the actual OTA file. You accept the download, then before it reboots to install, you copy the file in /cache to your computer. Then upload to the file sharing host of your choosing and share that URL with the masses.
Never mind lol

I know there is a trick to stop the framework process or something to that extent to force and update once it comes out. I have used it on the two previous upgrades so I didn't have to wait for it to hit me. Does anyone remember the exact app? Does Android Framework sound familiar? I think I cleared the cash and then it found the update.

Did anyone else recently receive an OTA update notification this morning? My device status has always been modified :angel: and in the past going to the update screen wouldn't allow me to receive the update do to the modified status. This is on T-Mobile so I'm wondering A.) how did the update try to come through with the device modified flag set and B.) why now? This is in the Detroit Michigan area.

They can push notifications through easily, unless you have a notification blocker setup. The update is 4.1.2, and is supposed to enable mutli-window support for our device that was supposed to come with it.
Clarification: Update NOTIFICATIONS can come through, not the update itself.

Thanks for clearing that up - it probably was just the notification that I received. It was 5:30am so I just hit "post pone" for 1 day and froze the process so that it doesn't come back... I have Google Wallet working and really don't want to update to 4.1.2 (I did that update on Dec 19th but ending up reverting because of issues with Gwallet). Thanks again.
no loser it's 4.1.1. Definitely not 4.1.2 .. that ain't out officially yet

That is pretty confusing to me. I would love to try out the multi-window thing but of course I can't get the Update because of my Modified status. I actually even went through the hassle of Unroot on my phone and it still has the Modified status. LOL Oh well.

I've had that happen on my S3, I clicked update but nothing went through and it says device modified.
Does anyone know how to stop the automatic PRL updates when running TW roms. I have looked around some but can't seem to find any info.
I am hoping there is a file that can be removed or renamed or maybe change permission or ownership of something to block the action. Seems to me if whatever is missing from AOSP roms could be duplicated... Any help or ideas would be great. All I wanna do is keep my 11119. LOL
Thanks
How frequently does this happen? Yikes. I have only seen it happen when I do a profile update if even then.

Actually it's happened once since I came back to TW, and yea maybe i did do a profile update. But that's only been a week. Guess I'll see how frequently before knocking myself out four a fix. Don't think it happened the whole time i was on the Kuban either. I've mostly been on Black Bean the last couple months. Maybe just a fluke but still knowing for sure it won't update would be nice.
