My S4 is downloading an update. 357.38 MB. Not sure what it is, but I was up to date before this moment, so this is something new. More news once its installed.

Edit:

Same update sprint is getting, I see transparent Notification area and apps move to SD card.

What did it do?

 

[sharpehenry]

I tried and it was downloading and got canceled. Now I have to wait 24 hours Kies says I have newest firmware UCUAMDL. That isn't it is it?

Yup mine got cancelled, now I have to wait an entire day? Really?

 

[jaltman]

All I have noticed is the transparent notification bar and app to sd card. But, I am at work and cant really play. It downloads via wifi only.

To those whose download got cancelled, did you try to download via Kies or OTA updates using the Software Update on the phone?

Kies says I have the latest and OTA got canceled for 24 hours.

I'm not sure what happened to me. Mine said download was interrupted and to try again later, but then phone rebooted and said it was installing the update. It completed and says software is up to date when I check. Can anyone confirm what the new build should be as mine still says 4.2.2.
Baseband is 1337UCUAMF3. Kernel is 3.4.0.-812098 and build# is JDQ39.1337UCUAMF3. I didn't check prior to the update so I don't know if this is old or new data. Also, if it said my download was interrupted, how could it reboot and say it is installing the new update? Confused...

Mine says update is ready for download, but I'm rooted on stock 4.2.2 - so wondering if I update will I lose root? Tried to find answer elsewhere but no joy.

Update: hmmm, just saw this on XDA PSA: DO NOT UPDATE TO MF3 - It patches root exploit - xda-developers
Maybe I will wait.....:-\

I am updated successfully. I do have the same build #, Kernel, baseband as you listed.

Same thing happened to me, just set your clock ahead 24 hours and try again!

Mine got cancelled too. Waiting for 24 hours. Sooooo much different than the land I came from. What's with the 24 hour hold? Lame.

It patches and breaks root. Don't know about the rest of you, but I switched to Android to get away from this Apple-esque, Gestapo crap.

If you manually switch time to one day forward, you can bypass the 24 hour check. Thats how I did it.

For rooting and custom ROM issue, I could care less since I decided not to do anything with this phone. I'm just happy with the phone as is.

First thing I noticed about this patch is the keypad vibration. Space bar and enter key vibrate more intense then letters.

Freed RAM space is larger from around 1.1gb usage to only 800+mb usage.

Seems to run more snappier but thats probably due to reboot to clear our RAM and cache and such. But overall I am happy with the updates.

I was told to hold off on this update if you ate into rooting and running on custom ROM.

Apparently mine installed correctly after all then. I'm stock, but as Wollombi said it breaks the root exploit. Long thread already over on XDA.

Mine installed and stayed on the AT&T boot until I pulled the battery. The software was on the phone but the download manager made me download and reinstall. It never canceled on me. Did this happen to anyone else?
