Thanks all - update came through haha! I am never ever believing that force stopping google services framework does nothing again. WOOOT!

Does having wifi on have any effect? Leave wifi off? doesn't matter?

Gah why did you people say that worked for you!? Now I'm doing it every 10 minutes lol.

You'd think they would specifically list Wifi calling as an added option that would be really nice though!

No, that one came out early Feb.

I do love my G2, but I think I may give the GS5 a shot on TMobile since they pay ETFs. It's not much of an upgrade, but I don't want to get another G2 if better is out, especially considering G3 is a month or two away possibly. If the KK update really makes a big difference in signal and such, I will most likely cancel TMobile within my trial period I have been Samsung for quite some time, but loved all the customization I could make with the G2 without root (though I am rooted still )

Hmm, I'm not sure what to say about that article. I read it and I understand it, but what I'm confused about is how the Spark update made my phone have even worse reception than before the Spark update. Like now 3G is even slower. Is that article basically saying that the Triband phones that are now spark enabled going to have worse reception in many places until more updates are done to the sites? I guess i am just most confused why 3G is so much worse now since I thought that was nothing new.

Ever since the Spark update my phone reception has been just bad... it was bad before, but it's much worse overall now my wife has a GS3 and sometimes she will be on LTE and mine won't see it. Other times I have full 3G signal, wife's GS3 has 1-2 bars, yet her speeds are much better. WTF. I'm not even able to stream music from Google music because the speed is too slow, while her's works within seconds with us both in the car. I've done PRL updates and all that... is this just crappy LG radio or why on earth would my wife's phone be getting better speeds and sometimes LTE reception right next to me. Shouldn't this phone have all the same support and more in terms of frequency? (we are both on sprint)

I wouldn't read into it much. Sprint has nothing going for it if they remove unlimited data. I would bet it would be years at least before that goes, if it ever does. They are just trying to scare people to get on their new plans to pay more. When I picked up my G2 they were trying to convince me to go to their unlimited guaranteed plans, even though mine is unlimited right now (though no guarantee it will be forever) and they said "for just a mere $30 extra a month" they could convert my plan to unlimited data for life before tax. I just laughed and said no thanks. I have an old Employee referral plus family plan that they don't offer anymore.

Double post /facepalm

This phone is amazing! I cant wait to get it rooted... really just so i can use my AirPlay app.

Called my local Sprint store and they said they are getting their shipment in this afternoon and will be able to sell me one in the morning, WOOT! Wasn't sure they'd actually get them in-store if pre-order demand was too high or something.

about the 14 day return policy the day your ordered, not received.... it's crap and Dell is even worse. If your item is delayed for whatever reason that also counts toward your days. I canceled a refurbished monitor from them because it was delayed 2 weeks which would cut into the 30 day return policy a ton. Such bad policy, should be the day you RECEIVED the item, not ordered

Do we think Sprint will carry the LG G2 in stores on Nov 8th too? I'd love to snag one, but due to work stuff I need to be able to buy new phone and trade in old one at the same time...

Yeah you did - I know I saw it on Engadget's post: http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/30/sprint-spark-enhanced-lte/ Who knows when "shortly after launch" is though. For all we know that could be a few weeks to 6 months or more. Heck the G2 may get the update before Samsung's devices. We really don't know enough to say for sure.

I put my phone in my front pocket... people would think I'm popping a tent if I had that thing in there. No thank you. lol.

I've been with Sprint about 6-7 years now and they were willing to move my upgrade date up one month, but no more. This was last year anyway.

This is the brand of case I will most likely get also. Just can't decide if I go for a black or white G2... I've got a white note 2 now...

Woooot! That's just awesome! Great news indeed.

Nice, then it should be an interesting November for us!

I'm in a little disbelief but I really do hope that's the case. I know Robert has mentioned it so that's good. I just need to see it for myself! Btw is Nexus 5 going to be triband? If not then I will likely preorder the G2. Not sure about the One up.. I do get a new device each year for work but I have an Everything Plus plan so I've not done the math to see if I'd save any money yet.

I'm tempted.. Can't decide if it's worth getting on sprint or move to tmobile... Thinking I will give them one last year. I want to know more about the Nexus 5 though too.

The smaller battery on the nexus 5 also has me concerned so I'm leaning towards the G2 as well... 2300 is too small. I'm on the note2 with 3100 now and I feel spoiled. I don't want to go back to needing to charge at all in a day no matter how much I use my phone.
