Yeah, this direct download is a new thing for non-rooted phones????

Had those errors shortly after some towers in our area showed as accepted on the S4GRU maps. Haven't had them after those couple days. There were some issues with the phone staying on 3G around then too, has cleared up since and connects to LTE nicely.

Got an inside track on update info eh? And good to see another Canton area resident on here.

Seeing similar issue probably. Battery was draining due to wifioff delay wakelock or something like that, even with WiFi settings to stay off during sleep and whatnot

WOW, sure am glad I upgraded phones just prior to the Jan 10th deadline and am now on Framily. Looks like a rare win in my history of mobile phone contracts. For the ultimate win though, un-subsidized phone prices have to keep going down.

Awesome! With the news of GS4 kitkat update, it seems Sprint is trying to set themselves apart from other carriers with speedier update acceptance.

No problems with our 2 G2s here

I had my first HD voice call yesterday too here in Ohio. Wonder if they "flipped a switch"?

Enabled 26 and 41 and restarted and now the priorities show 25~1, 26~2, 41~3. Does not match what the other person on here showed. Anyone have these same priorities?

I changed mine back to disabled before the update and they are like yours still disabled after the update and multiple restarts. Ugh

My wife and I just switched to a Framily plan. We upgraded to G2s very recently, so it makes sense to get the monthly savings with lower priced non-contract phone options becoming more prevalent. We're looking for people to join, if they'll let exisiting customers join. People's success has been mixed, but it's worth a shot. Would definitely like to have people from this community in it! Just call customer service and ask to join group V00146261yI (case sensitive, last letter capital "eye") and verify using the last 4 of my phone number 1056. PM with any questions!

No problems connecting to my airrave at home. Might want to reset profile and PRL and see if that helps.

Also got my giftcard email even though I had CSR convert my order to in store pickup on 10/18. The gamble paid off this time around. Awesome phone by the way.

That's why I didn't wake up to my alarm on Sunday...it's all makes sense now!

Great article! Tipped off Engadget and Verge to hopefully get some recognition for S4GRU. Other may want to do the same. Proud of the work here from the community and moderators.

Lte is working ok here. Good things come to those who dont wait...????

Called CSR this morning and as expected they were able to convert to in store pickup for today. Mentioned the gift card not being eligible for in store pickup and he said order number didn't change so I should still get it. Not sure if he knew what he was saying and I may have to fight with CSRs to get it at some point, but think they'll give in if I complain enough.

I believe you, just giving some support and hoping the story doesn't change tomorrow when dollars and cents start changing hands.

Just called the local store, talked to a very nice guy, who went to check for stock. There is. He confirmed release date for tomorrow, but said the only way I could pick up in store and keep the $50 gift card was if I cancelled and had the ability to place another order online. As stated above, that's not possible right now on the website. So kinda stuck unless I want to give up the giftcard or try to complain even more to the corporate number. Really don't want the hassle. Oh well. Hope they actually give you the gift card deal Terrell.

best buy chat and phone were both useless

Sprint orders are apparently shipping. Someone on xda got a shipping email. best buy chat says they still dont have a release date. yuck

Hope your upgrade is reset by then. Can you explain this security problem? No one with a best buy order has reported it has shipped yet.

I was just thinking. Since I'm buying an LG G2 from Best Buy, will they include the necessary SIM card, or will I need to fight to get one with all the Nexus 5 people?

I know I won't be home to sign for the shipment (required by Best Buy for phones I think) so I used UPS MyChoice to say I was on "vacation" and hold at the UPS store. Sometimes with expedited shipping there isn't time to make the change when the shipping notification comes. This way it will hopefully automatically go to the store.

I'm hoping a shipping notice will come soon enough that I can change my delivery preference to pick up.
