I got the update!

I'm in Seattle for a couple days with a solid 4G signal and the while process took les than 10 minutes. My SMS tone changed, but that's all I noticed so far.

Oh yeah, and Skype doesn't work anymore.

This while toggle 3G/4G thing is crazy. Worked prefect for me. Did it about 6PM PST.
 
Okay, i 'm hearing this thing kills mobile hotspot, adds bloatware, fixes the reboot. Can you skip it? should you?
 
I didn't go through every post but did you notice the Thunderbolt startup animation sound is shorter and the clouds image goes black?
 
Atlanta, Georgia area.

Been running stock, SW 1.12-whatever, and waited out the other updates. Downloaded over 4G this morning while out for my AM walk. DL was very fast, less than "3 houses." Install took most of a lap around my block, and there were at least 3 reboots, about 8 - 10 minutes total.

Took an extra minute (it seemed) to get a 4G icon, and when I tried a speed test, the data icon dropped out, then 3G came back up. Going into the Wireless & Networks, and cycling to CDMA Only then back to CDMA/LTE cleared that right up. Still getting good, strong 4G inside my house. Speed Test was 27.39 down, 5.7 up; the fastest I have ever had before was 31+ down (with a 4.9 up), but usually get around 18 - 20 down, and down around 10 -11 down when the system is loaded up.

GPS lock was fast, but I have had fast GPS lock lately anyway.

My Verizon app - finally, but it seems to be a slowpoke loading info. The data usage widget is cool, but frankly, I would rather have a voice usage widget, since that's our limiting factor right now.

I had no involuntary reboots before, so hopefully that will stay "reduced."

I like the change in the Thunderbolt boot screen, much less annoying.

I had just copied some sound files to my SD card last night, and made some new notification sounds (if you have an old Microsoft Arcade 3.5 floppy, and can still read it, there are some .wav files after you install it). All my notification sounds stayed. (Anybody know where i can get a "Clean" copy of the DC Metro door closing "bell"?)

In addition to the #BAL, #MIN, you also have a "Global Support" and "Warranty Center" number on the SD card now, too.

I wasn't using Mobile Hotspot / Mobile Internet before, so I have no idea now.

My start up screen changed as well. This actually was one of the changes included in the update per a rep I spoke with at Verizon. This change isn't listed on the software update list on the website but that doesn't surprise me.
 
after i updated my phone,the phone rebooted and when i unlocked my phone, there was a screen that prompted me to click OK or CANCEL, i did not read the entire message, does anyone recall what that message said?

thanks
