@Diegoac3 still having the WiFi connect problem? I did at first, until I changed a setting. 4.3 comes with a default setting enabled under WiFi...Advanced called "Auto Network Switch". What it does is continually check your WiFi connection for "reliability" and then auto switches to your mobile...

FWIW my S4 with 4.3 (pre MK2) had excellent battery life during a 10 day tour of Europe on roaming all the time. Better than I had with 4.2. I disabled Sync so that helps. But I also streamed TuneIn Radio a few hrs a day too with very little battery drain. Impressive.

@bobmurray I'm happy too with battery life on 4.3. Real test this week. Traveling thru Europe on some trains without wifi, that is a classic battery drainer.

Good luck @Summest! Posted via Android Central App

Running my unofficial battery duration test on 4.3 first day. Seems about the same as 4.2 was yesterday on very similar usage. I'll be happy if battery life is a wash, not worse. Big test starts Sunday when I land in London and roaming begins. Anyone else have a battery story for 4.3? Posted...

Agreed Trosh, some subtle but very nice improvements to default keyboard and to overall UI look/feel.

Finally...after 3 attempts and 3 "Software Update Interrupted", 4th time worked. I think I was into "Sunday Nov 17" by then... total of 3 hrs to download. Remember to change your Date and Time back afterwards! Tested all my apps and so far, good. Just one glitch so far: after reinstall and...

AT&T: 1998 called and it wants its slow DSL back!! Update: averaging about 70-75 KB/sec down. At this rate looking at 160-170 minutes total.

@thecure13 This one appears to be OTA only. Did you try forcing the software update?

@Antaurean Thanks for freeing up some server bandwidth for me! Good luck!

Here we go again...one more try tonight (or should I say "Friday night Nov 15"). I leave for 10 day biz trip to Europe on Saturday and want this over and done BEFORE I fly. OK - just passed the 2%, maybe we'll make it this time. Maybe all the East Coasters are asleep.

Go to Settings...More...Date and Time. Turn off Automatic Date and Time. Then set it a day ahead manually. Next go into Software Update and Check for Updates again. Should start downloading.

@Antaurean success yet?

In Denver. Started update download at 8:45pm MT. Got up to 140 MB and it terminated itself. Reset date ahead 24 hours and starting download all over again. Stuck at 2% for 4 minutes now. Oh no - got the dreaded Software Update Interrupted again.
