Maybe too many people were calling Verizon with issues that their support team wasn't aware of yet. It's possible it was posted too early by mistake as well. I have the updated files on my pc as well (all 1.8 GB) and because it checks for the updates and says I'm up to date, it won't install.

This is odd but I knew the update was released early this am so I scooped it up around 3 pm

I had it in plenty of time as well. Unfortunately, it was one thing after another trying to apply the update. I'm stuck on 4.3.

I was able to update. Only issues I've noticed are visual vm and I had issues with the "Hi Galaxy" command not working. It is now after resetting the phone. Also noticed that my gear 2 will not bypass the lock pattern anymore.

Where do you download the Verizon Upgrade assistant? I've searched the Verizon website and seen instructions on how to use it but don't actually see the program anywhere.

Plugged in the wife's note 3 to samsung Kies and I'm being told I have the latest update which is 4.3. Starting to think the update was definately pulled. Anyway to confirm this?

It definitely broke Visual Voicemail. Called VZW. They claim they will have an update tomorrow to fix it.

When as it seems sometime between 4-6 is when no one could download it.

Okay, I see, after connecting via the USB cable you must be in "installer mode" then right click the CD that shows up in the file explorer and install. I had to go into developer mode to change the USB setting to get it to stay in installer mode but not sure if everyone will need to do that.

Yea installer mode will let you use the application once the update pops up again.

I upgraded using the Verizon Upgrade Assistant and had no issues installing. I is working great with the exception of Verizon's visual voice mail app being incompatable until Verizon fixes it as it should have done already.

Same for me. Works great after the update. Only issue is the Visual Voice-mail, but I never used it anyway. They probably pulled the update due to that issue.
