Now I am getting very confused. It is the 13th of July. I keep reading about the update thats out. I have had no option for the update, and I can't say I'm all that interested. I am still getting my Hotspot free and the phone is still working like great. Now I found that most people have been getting a msg. to contact VSW for mobile hotspot activation, but this message has not been an option for me as of yet. I have been waiting for them to take my hotspot away before rooting the phone. Just wondering how many of you are still up and running, or if anyone has an explanation available for me on this matter.
I'm thinking that you will still be able to use the free hospot feature as long as you don't update to the new 1.70 base that is out with the new ota..I believe the software in the new update disables the hotspot and requires that u contact verizon to continue use..I'm still on MR1 and still have the hotspot feature..I have no plans on updating running liquid thundersense 1.5

Just curious if the hotspot is working on VZW without any modifications for those that have retained unlimited data. Please post your success/failure or workarounds. I'm currently using PDANET and FOXFI on a DX2 and waiting for my phone.
Also, what is the purpose of the USB download from the Samsung website? I'm curious if this puts the lock back on the stock Hotspot feature. Has anyone installed it yet?
Hi,
I got a silly problem with my S3. i am using it in India currently and my Data package allows me to Tether. but since the S3 goes through verizon it wont let me tether. I was wondering if there is a work around for this or if there is any good tethering app that doesnt need Root or any software installed on the PC.
Thank you
Is there ANY customed / modified ROM for the T-Mobile D6616 variant? Or some way to debloat the hell out of the stock ROM? I feel like there's some crap on here that makes it annoying to use, especially hotspot tethering.
I used to have a Z2 international version and it never had any issues with my laptop connecting to the phone's tethering via hotspot. But ever since I got it, it's been a massive prick just going on and off so I'm forced to use USB tethering.
I noticed that every time I turn on hotspot, a quick pop-up comes up stating it need to check my account before leaving. I assume that's the reason why it's so damn iffy and also why I can't remotely turn on tether via my LG G Watch R.
If someone knows how to resolve this, it'll be much appreciated.
Anybody else get prompted today for an update? Anyone know what's in it?

and AT&T using this update as an opportunity to change your Chrome browser homepage to home.att.com powered by Yahoo. Because AT&T can't do something nice without balancing it with something ****ty. Balance in the universe is thus preserved.

If you already installed it, you can be a proud owner of the first Android device on AT&T network that supports Wi-Fi calling. It actually works pretty good so far and I can't tell for sure if they fixed a 5Ghz Wi-Fi issue because I got the update about an hour ago but as a piece of hope I got higher speedtest.net results than before, so maybe they actually made a highly desired change in a baseband besides adding a 2G toggle that actually makes a network search much faster than before.
Another noticeable change is that I got extra free 100MB of RAM which is never a bad thing.
if someone could upload&share this update for non-US residents, that would be nice
Thank you

I'm still rooted in lollipop. Is there any way I can get this or will I have to lose root and jump up to MM?
Update breaks tethering
This update broke USB tethering for me. I know receive a "Authentication Unsuccessful please contact blah blah blah". They should provide this information in the BASIC UPDATE INFO at least. If SOMETHING else happened to change this on my phone IMMEDIATELY after I did the update then I apologize for the incorrect information but I truly believe it was the update as no other changes have been made.
i can not get my phone to update at all im still on 8101g i think

Just got this. Now at version H81021y with 2016-06-01 security patch.
Is there anyway someone could extract this OTA and post it so us folks that can't get the update, can install it on our phones? I'm just curious as to whether the the wifi calling will work on T-Mobile too.
Edit: I was able to get the update by getting an active AT&T sim card. Unfortunately, wifi calling will not work with a T-Mobile sim.
Any one know if this update will prevent the dirtysanta root method from working?
