Is this dropping on the Virgin SII as well?

I'm taking there is a reason they didn't put a time on available. The website for Samsung isn't available and Kies says I'm on the latest version.

I'm more than happy to just get 4.1, but now we are 2 versions back when IO hits in May. Still not bad for a 2 year old device.

If anyone else has luck, please share.

how do I use Keis to check or update?

Even though VMUSA is a subsidiary of Sprint, it's still a separate decision for that group. Because this is not an OTA and will involve a lot of both in store and phone support/training, VMUSA may decide it's not worth the expense and headache.

If you just want to install it you can grab it by searching rwilco GB27. He's had it available for a little over a week. All the usual disclaimers apply.

No need to search I have the link. Plus you can get a rooted version which I feel is necessary to run a lot of important programs like Titanium and Roam Control.

It is about time they officially show that phone so love. Glad to know its official release. rwilco and that team does wonders when it comes firmware .

You can get:

• Battery Saver (see below)

Per the article:

"The new software bump will come directly from Samsung and will require a visit to an external website that has yet to go live."​

It says you can go into a Sprint store and they will upgrade it for you. I wonder if anyone's tried to do that?

A few questions:

1.Is a factory reset necessary? If so, should it be done before or after the update?

2. Does it delete any data off the phone?

I am sitting in a chem lecture right now. I have Kies installed on my computer, so when I get back to my dorm I will try to update.
