Most of us know that location has nothing to do with updates.
Posting about it is like Android Update social checkin

Re: KitKat
If you're going to push manually, remember you'll need either a small microSD card (2GB or 4GB) or a small partition. I tried it on my 32GB card but the recovery menu couldn't read a partition that big. Tried again with a 2GB card and that worked just fine.

My 32GB microSD card worked fine. What message were you getting that told you it was too big to read?

Re: KitKat
Just got KitKat OTA last night. Seems a bit smoother. Many of my apps disapeared, but a LOT of the junkware that was installed on the phone from Sprint is now gone too! So, I just reloaded the apps I wanted and it's all good to go. No other "issues" thus far.

Re: KitKat
I feel the same way about going thru all that trouble.But on the gds3 there was an easier way to do the update just remember it.

Re: KitKat
Ok, I installed the update even though I said I was going to wait it out until I hear if there was any bugs etc. So far so good! No issues. And no apps were missing! Loving it thus far!

Re: KitKat
I have found one bug so far: When talking on the phone, the proximity between my chin and the phone activates the speakerphone. This was quite a surprise the first time it happened, and it has happened consistently since as long as the screen is on. If the screen is off, it appears to be OK. After I manually upgraded I did a factory data reset, so the phone is more or less a clean stock kitkat install.
anyone else seeing this issue? I suppose a workaround would be to turn off the proximity monitoring when a call is being made, which is in settings. This is new, I never had this issue before today.

Re: KitKat
Got my update this morning. Haven't had much time to really delve into it, but no noticeable apps are missing. I have noticed the update triggered some apps to immediately update and that my home keys changed to the default ones rather than the ones I put there. No big deal there. Overall seems to run smoother and responds quicker. The egg was about what I expected...nothing special, but kinda cool. Will post more if I notice anything else worth mention. Posting screenshots of the egg.

Re: KitKat
For those who are waiting so impatiently, and wondering if the OTA is related to location, or to how long you've had your phone, or whatever......
I got mine on the 14th, about 5:30 am, near Tampa FL.
My wife has the identical phone - she's technically the "primary line" on the account - which was activated within a minute of mine.
She still does not have the update. Perhaps it's significant that she really doesn't care, either?
It comes when it comes, unless you force it with a manual download.

Re: KitKat
Got my OTA 4.4.2 3am PST.
I had to reset preferences in application manager but that's it.
Smoking fast and Smooth as silk.
Only lost one app Vibe Vault.
Love it.
Running Nova launcher & Neutron Music player, only way to fly
