FINALLY!!

 

So since I'm rooted and have the other bands enabled, should I revert to stock and disable the bands before the update? Or should it not matter?

I'm wondering about this too. This is the first phone I've rooted or done anything to. I wasn't planning on taking the OTA, and just side load the update through TWRP. Do I need to do anything special before flashing it?

Looking forward to see who gets their phone updated first. I may go back to full stock before I try anything on stock with a custom kernel, rooted, busy box and exposed.

Alright Adam G, if I go to bed tomorrow and I don't have the update, I'm holding you accountable! Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Just use this guide. It should contain whatever scenario you have.

I haven't seen anyone actually get it yet. Am I blind and my Google searching capabilities failing me? Its nice to know that for once a customer service person from sprint had real legitimate info though :D.

Has anyone received an OTA notification? Stock users?

Haven't seen one anywhere yet. I am thinking it isn't exclusive to Sprint. That would be a first.

 

We will probably see it roll out to everybody soon. Today? Maybe.

The best place will be that XDA ota thread already linked above.

I have the XDA thread open, I was just wondering if anyone had spotted it somewhere else or gotten it already. I couldn't find any info for the update on the factory image page of Google, doesn't that mean it hasn't rolled out yet since Google is pushing the update?

I have this thread open and the XDA thread open. I bet we get confirmation by midday and the url by end of work day today. I'm guessing sprint posted first thing. Google may not have pushed anything and in fact, is two hours behind overland park

What a day for an OTA – specifically, Android 4.4.3 for the Nexus 5. Sprint has updated its support page to indicate KTU48F is dropping today, which we understand to be the rumored 4.4.3 release. There is a Sprint-specific tweak in this update, but the software should also be hitting N5s that aren't connected to the Sprint network at the same time.

 

  • Enable Sprint Spark band 26 and band 41
  • Misc Android updates

Begins today and will be completed in 14 days

So when does Google usually posts the official factory files? After 14 days or the same date it starts the OTA?

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
