October 22 Sprint Update

[mfreeland]

I was in the process of switching from my Verizon M8 to a new Sprint M8 HK edition. I got the new phone on Thursday and it was running 4.4.2 out of the box.... I then went and requested a manual software update.... It popped up with the small (65m) update first.... Once that was installed, I then went a requested another manual software update check and the 4.4.3 update (600+m) showed available.

What is strange is the phone showed me a 4.4.4 version number...... But now it shows as 4.4.3.

Strange.... So, it appears that I don't have 4.4.4.

For those with 4.4.3 on Sprint.... Do you have the file manager? I know that the File Manager came with the 4.4.4 version on Verizon that just rolled through...

Of course with all this updating and switching over to the new phone, along with getting all my info over to the new phone, maybe I am confused...

Yeah I have the HK Edition with 4.4.3 on Sprint and there is a file manager in the apps drawer.

Yeah, Sprint got file manager in 4.4.3. Have you checked to see if you have the Eye update though?

Due to insomnia, I am too. At least the update will soften the blow of sleep deprivation.

Yes!

Can't tell for sure at the moment, but it appears that they have indeed fixed the WiFi calling issue.

and..... YES...... It's there.... Downloading in West Palm Beach..... But, I had to manually check for it...

I received the update this morning, upgrade proceded with no problems. I can report that the WiFi calling/GPS problem seems to have been resolved. I can now use both. Previously, once WiFi calling was activated, the GPS would stop functioning. Only a factory reset would bring it back. So far, this update has been helpful. Thanks goes to those responsible.

Glad it's working now, but all i had to do to get it working before was to restart the phone.

Downloading as we speak here in Irvine, CA. At 65%

I've noticed much better exposure in bright, outdoor photos since the update. Is it placebo effect or has anyone else noticed the same?

I only had to do a profile update to fix it. But even that is a fairly unacceptable bug, I'm looking forward to uninterrupted usability now I have the fix.

I just tested GPS and nav after using WiFi calling and it working great now.
