The file manager was a great +1 in this update! Built in SD card support!

Cool, didn't even notice file manager? Anything else new or improved?

Just got the update on mine, been trying to set up the WiFi calling which I need at my house, but keep getting an authentication error.

Is there something you need to do to set up WiFi calling or does it work out of the box?

Edit: Ok I see you need to enable it in the settings

I now have the emojis showing up while using Swype. Was never showing before.

Well it looks like my issue resolved itself after 5 or so resets...

For those having issue with WiFi calling. WiFi calling can fail sometimes when activating it for the first time. It usually will go through an activation process again and add the feature free to your plan. If the WiFi calling activation fails, just call Sprint to add the feature. Afterwards, just wait 5-10 minutes and update your profile in System Updates. Should be good after that.

When I initially set it up I had to go through the following

1) Initial setup/enable process to my account which required a restart.
2) Go in and add my WiFi network, acknowledge the 911 notification/setup/location registration thing, then restart.
3) Some sort of System update process, restart.
4) PRL Update, which restarted for unknown reason, maybe it was necessary for the 4.4.3 software update? </shrugs_shoulders>

Then I was able to complete a call without issues. Maybe during your setup something went into some sort of internal error that didn't clear after a few restarts. Who knows, at least it works for you now.

After nearly a hour trying to get it to authenticate and about 10 restarts, I gave up and just disabled it as apparently it doesn't work, so much for a new feature

So before I go ahead through getting it up and running can anyone tell me whether you can only use it with one registered Wifi network? That's what some of the registration text implied to me.

Sorry for your frustrations, but I clicked, set it up, and it worked first try. Not sure why your having this issue.

Honestly I don't know for sure, but I think the network registration was just for 911 location purposes and I'm assuming (and will test) that you might have to do this for each WiFi network you use...

Yeah, I'll have to try it out and see later. Is yours bugging you about confirming your address over and over again? Doesn't seem to want to go away after I do it on mine. It works, but spams me with that notification.

Nope. It just works. I 've turned it off, went for my bike ride, came back, used my Airwave for a call then turned it back on and made a call. Working great for me. Guess I don't really need the Airwave so much now, but we'll see....
