Part fact part theory.
Vzws Droid maxx "known issues" log shows SU2 (next update) as December and the last updates followed the motto x two weeks to the day.

nov 33

Things are running so well I'm almost afraid of getting the update for the first time ever. Virtually no lag and about 9 hours of screen on time.

Holy cow! 9 hours?? I'm getting about 5 and a half hours max, and that's with brightness at about 40%. But it's still plenty for me. But I agree, phone is super fast. My first phone ever with virtually zero lag, and I'm not convinced it's worth the trouble to go through the trouble of unrooting, getting back to stock and updating. I didn't even get the camera update.

I can't wait for the update. I installed it on my gs3 and loved it with some issues. I can't wait to see what 4.4 does on my ultra

I did a battery test one day after a surgery while I had plenty of time off. Between 9 and 10 hours to kill the battery with screen on constantly. No WiFi, mediocre 4g signal, playing games, streaming movies, web browsing.

Yeah, here we go...get ready for about 10 dates that people are just absolutely certain about. This process always takes 6-8 weeks and it sucks. Of course that's old Moto / VZW...let's see if they really changed.

4.2.2 rolling out soon (good news for cm10.1 bluetooth)

Looks like 4.2.2 is ready to roll out. Hopefully the CM team, AOKP and other developers can implement the fixes for the new jelly bean builds to fix A2DP issues.
http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105....2.2-a-better-jelly-bean-rolls-into-the-wild/
Wonder if 4.2.2 will also address the flickering/ui stuttering issue.
I hope it also fixes the S-beam incompatibility problem with S3's running ICS. Every since my wife's S3 upgraded to JB, S-beam has been unable to pair with my S3 running ICS.

I was waiting for them to address the screen stutter and battery drain issues that my wife's S3 has been experiencing. Plus, I'm rooted with google wallet working and other customizations that I don't feel like redoing for JB until those bugs are fixed. Sort of the "if it's not broken, don't fix it" mentality.

Who knows when 4.2.x will get pushed to VZW phones, BUT I would be shocked if it wasn't 4.2.2 or some higher iteration. It doesn't make sense to go to 4.2.1 at this point. Back in the GB days, it wasn't uncommon to go from froyo to 2.3.5 or 2.3.7
It is Verizon's slow update policy that made me root in the first place. Next phone I get, I'll consider a google phone and a pre-paid plan somewhere...
Ditto on that ... I am just not sold on pre-paid plans yet. I would like either the ubuntu phone or nexus phone from google.

Article by CNET's Eric Mack. Let me introduce you to this gentleman. About a year ago, he posted articles about the upcoming ICS update to the Droid Razr. Twice. Both wrong. One cited a screenshot allegedly from a Best Buy employee, the other a "secret source inside Verizon". His last wolf-cry was about a month and a half wrong.
Bottom line, take anything he says with a huge grain of salt. He's usually wrong.

That's what I said too... then I experienced T-Mobile and AT&T in my area with a Nexus 4 and lasted one month on each before I went back to Verizon on a work phone.
Loved the Nexus 4 compared to this thing... It's a shame that Verizon is just too damn good.

They might not be lying about the 3300 mAH but it's definitely not gonna last as much as you think because of the battery quality.
I VERY much doubt it will last more than the normal 2600 one.

I really hope it lasts better than the original. I don't expect 3300mah worth of battery life but atleast equivalent to 2800-2900mah...I currently get around 5:30hrs screen time... if this gives me 6:30hrs I'll be satisfied

Soo I finally put the battery through a full day of use and I must say that it does not live up to being a 3360mah battery, with that being said @ $26, it does hold up for about the same time as stock so I'll continue to use it as a back up. If I had to make this purchase again I wouldnt. You can get 2 anker batteries for the same price and they will last the same...
Here are some screenshots of my usage. I've been on wifi most of the time and about 3 hours or so on 3g. My usage involved lots of facebook, whatsapp, frequent web browsing using boat browser, a few youtube vids and a couple short calls...

Thanks so much for testing this out, I was contemplating on purchasing this also....I guess there's no other solution for longer battery life that would entail squeezing in a bigger capacity battery in the same amount of space.

I guess so too.. I would wait on one company though. Zero lemon may be releasing a 3000mah battery for the s4 and their batteries do not disappoint. I had their 2300mah battery for the s3 and it gave me around 1 hour extra screen time with about 3 hours extra standby. Zero lemon is highly praised in this forum aswell. To bad that battery isn't released yet...
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
I reached out to Zero Lemon today but they only replied back saying, "Thank you for your interest. For Galaxy S4 we only have the 7500mAh battery at the moment." ... doesnt seem like they have any future plans for a 3000mah but who knows...maybe...hopefully.

Official KitKat 4.4.2 OTA Released (Sprint)

Upgrade notice popped up and my device automatically downloaded the firmware to be able to upgrade.
Process ran smoothly... auto reboot, upgrade running, etc.
In case someone didn't realize: this is the official stock (unrooted) upgrade.
Edit- Added pics after upgrade.

Lock screen with new camera icon and a white battery icon instead of green. I believe some tweaks are in order...

In the corporate store I went to, yes along with the flip cover. The cover is nothing special just a cover with holes in it. The dots are simply the screen displaying images behind the cover. That said it is a very slim cover which I liked. May pick one up later.

I like the cover. Finally a flip cover with a magnet. Plus you can answer and talk on the phone with it closed. Give them credit for being creative here.
I have a few gripes about the phone, which is why it didn't pull me from my G2.
1. The keyboard doesn't have emoticons or a top row for number keys. Sammy and LG have both already.
2. That bezel...uuugh
3. Camera is bad. Pics looked good until you tried to zoom at all. It is snappy, but nothing spectacular.
4. I am always concerned with HTC speakers. 4 out of the 5 HTC phones I've owned had the speakers blow.
I did like the ability to change themes (although it didn't change much) and fonts. I just hope more are added eventually (which isn't likely, they never do) because options are limited.
It felt really good to hold, and the case is a big win IMO
