Sprint 4.4.4 finally released!

[rl6403]

My understanding is that this is supposed to be a "fix" for all the "bugs" and "glitches " people had with the 4.4.2 update and not necessarily a totally different o.s...it just took them forever to finally come out with it...lol

Mine wouldn't download the whole day at work on WiFi or Data, but it over downloaded (almost 2 MB) and sent an error report when walking to my truck after work. I ended up downloading AND installing it on the drive home. Funny how quick it went once I got reliable LTE service.

so far I've noticed a smoother experience. no weird random lag and no faulty graphic lag when I pull down the notification bar. love it so far, can't wait for 5.0!

Ok so far since yesterday, I have noticed the same smoother faster experience. Things seem to transition seamlessly. But, I am noticing when typing on the keyboard it double spaces a lot of my words for no reason. this is a HUGE glitch imo. Anyone else notice this? Also, funny change, I noticed the dancing girl emoji is not a black dude. ha. Not sure why they did that and even when you send it to an iphone they still get the lady dancing ... but still funny.

has anyone's wifi stopped working since the update? mine no longer connects to my home network - all of my other devices do connect without a problem, but not my phone anymore. Also went to a public wifi spot where i usually connect and it would not connect there either.

I've noticed mine seems smoother too.

No WiFi issues for me, connects to work intermittently (work network sucks), and home just fine.

About time!

Only difference I notice is the annoying new avatars for voicemail.

If the update changed anything with your device's network ID number, you might have to reboot either the device or your router to get it re-linked. I've this happen before with other wifi devices after a firmware update. It's more of a security feature than a glitch.

I noticed when viewing pictures with the stock viewer, when selecting "more info", a histogram is included along with all the technical information you need without having to select additional info a second time.

Just a too, after you take the OTA, if you don't want to do a full factory reset and rreatore (which really is the best thing to do, but I get it if you don't)...at least boot into recovery and clear your cache...will help speed a long quite a bit of wierdneas youkk get with calling/texting/WiFi connectivity...or at least that's my experience!

I have no problems after update. Love the update to the fingerprint scanner, much more accurate.

yup, wifi seems to be better too.

I got this update last week and i just noticed that the twitter app is missing from the multi window. Idk if its a twitter app thing or if the 4.4.4 update took it out.

But overall this update works just fine. I also noticed that the Chrome browser now has a "Home" button. That is pretty useful.

Avatars in the Visual Voicemail aren't 4.4.4 specific, I had them on 4.4.2, it was in a Voicemail app update a while back, it could be that you didn't upgrade your Visual Voicemail app and the 4.4.4 came with the newest version. The upgrade to Visual Voicemail also gave some freemium options, for allowing ads, I can now get Voicemails e-mailed to me automatically to my Gmail.

Ok, I've been on my Sprint 4.4.4 update for a week now. Have any of you noticed issues with the Messaging app? I use the standard Messages App, not Messaging+, and now in my first page of Emojis, the one with the standard smileys, it refuses to scroll all the way down to show me all the Emojis. It stops somewhere around the line with the Santa Claus in it. All the other pages of Emojis show up no problem. This is happening with both my phone and my wife's phone. Didn't notice it until yesterday. I wonder if stopping the app and doing a clear cache and settings in the app manager will fix it, but I do not know what else that will do. I won't lose any messages will I?

Have had Sprint 4.4.4 for about 4 weeks now coming from 4.4.2 on Sprint GS5. OTA went well, took about 25 minutes and have had no problems other than using NFC to transfer pics from one GS5 to another does NOT work. Can't get past the dialog 'tap' screen after the phone beeps to start transfer. Worked fine in 4.4.2. All other apps work. Using Swype as text messenger. After the update, I did clean the partition cache just to insure no junk stuff lying around. *Seems* to run a little faster and smoother overall.

How do I update to 4.4.4 if I'm rooted. I wish someone can write up simple step by step instructions how to do that.

I now have 3 bars instead of one since the update. Haven't noticed much more of a change. But I've only had my phone a week, so I'm not sure of what the others issues have been...other than me not being able to download music from 3rd party apps and I still can't.
