Samsung and Sprint butting heads on updates for SPH-L720T

Kies says the latest update is NK1. So I let it run for hours download the huge update and installing it. It goes through the restarts and Kies declares it's all done and on the latest version.

Immediately after, the phone pops up that it's downloaded an update that's around 115 megs, reboot and it'll install. So I do then check the version. WTFH?! It's back to version OA3!

How does a little update like that revert the huge update Kies installed?

Apparently Samsung is treating Sprint like a mushroom farm and Sprint's customers like the mushroom fertilizer. In the USA there's not even a whiff of a rumor of a rumor as to when the S4 is going to get Lollipop, if it ever will, despite other countries already having 5 on the S4.

I had the same issue and not sure who is to blame for the Kies confusion. I'm going to lean on Samsung since Kies is their product.

Anyways, the S4 will be getting Lollipop and a version is registered as 'OB3.' In terms of timing, well..... who knows.

I'm betting on at least early rumors of the S7 before NorthAm gets Lollipop on the S4.
