Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 - Official Android 4.3 Update Discussion

Re: Android 4.3 for Sprint Galaxy S4?

I just have to say that I really like my S4. The only times I've ever had a problem were when I had FourSquare installed (still not sure why). My phone can easily go all day without a charge as long as I'm not watching videos or streaming lots of data. One of my few complaints that I'm hoping will be addressed is that the Samsung layer will not allow me to launch apps from a locked screen. I would love to be able to take a picture without having to key in my code.

You'll need a third party lock screen for that. BYOD business restrictions are why nothing can be done with a pin/pattern/password lock screen enabled. I expect the fully implemented Knox update to make security even tighter on the S4, if there are any restrictions left to adhere to.

Doesn't sound like it will be much of an update, time will tell.

It won't be in the USA in October is my guess, only internationally. We will see it probably in November. I really hope we get it this month though, considering Galaxy Gear comes out in a few days and will only be compatible with one phone on release.

Finally was able to fix my battery life with a factory reset. Making me really weary about the next system update...

is your battery life still good after the factory reset? i reset mine and it helped for a day, then it was back to crap again.

While missa answers you, let me tell you that my first GS4 had a crappy battery.
I exchanged it 6 days later!
So far so good...

Try the Seidio extended battery. It lasts for 2 days minimum.

Just got the update. I'm in NC.

Re: Android 4.3 for Sprint Galaxy S4?

Update complete. so far so good, no errors, though I did see a new notifications from days or weeks ago (missed calls and reminders) that I had to clear out again. Not seeing the issue others had with Knox, I can disable notifications on applications without issue, but perhaps because my company doesn't have Knox settings to push.

Ask if you've got questions, I'll do my best to answer them. I won't know about battery life, I keep my phone docked at work.
