OTA Verizon Site change?? OTA today??

http://support.vzw.com/system_update/thunderbolt.html
No longer shows the 5/13/2011 dates in header and the main part of the page. The date is now BLANK? OTA today maybe ?????
Just sharing since I check it every hour waiting the update!

I'll believe it when I can download it. I refuse to get my hopes up!

The PDF indicates fixes for resets and power cycles, or is this the pdf from the MR1 update?

Nope and if you look at
Verizon Wireless is pleased to announce a new software update,
Build Number: 1.70.605.0 Baseband: 1.39.00.0613w, 0.01.69.0613w_1,
for your ThunderBolt™ by HTC.

That is NOT the current we are on Build: 1.13.605.7 Baseband: 1.16.00.0402w_1
Best part right here LOL
Reduced number of device power cycles and resets.

I just researched and you are right, that baseband appears much newer. I also noticed on the Incredible 2 update page, that it has no date listed. Perhaps these are coming down the tubes together this weekend.

Looks good, but you will likely have to say goodbye to the free mobile hotspot if you are not rooted.
And no mention of gingerbread for us non-rooted users.

Yes, that is one thing I saw that was missing. However if this solves the stability issue then GB might be an easy push for them to get out. Or, they forgot to tack it onto the flyer

lol I thought that was funny as well. I bet it's figured out they just don't want to guarantee it so people don't scream as much.

What is the view apps in a tab menu?

I assume that one of the developers will have a leaked version for us rooted folks?

Well you have a point! BAMF GB is good, but still has some weirdness to it. One of these days I'll get around to trying 1.8.6

I've seen few reports of taking a long time to lock on to satellites, but even GPS devices like TOM TOM has these problems.

seriously? the GPS on the tbolt is a complete fail and it's a software issue. Using a third party GPS app to "fix" it that worked the first few times and now it locks in minutes (or till i just give up) rather than a couple seconds.
Sorry. I guess i was just spoiled being on the Dinc that locked instantly every single time.
But since you question it, i am jealous yours works.

I know it usually doesn't mean much but all day I've been getting the Service Unavailable error when checking for any updates

Yes they are legit. I have one and it works much better than stock battery. I had to get a new one after two years but it is worth it.

Thxs for the reply is it worth getting 2 or can u get a day out of one battery?

I get one day out of a battery but I wouldn't call myself a heavy user. Mostly texts and some browsing durning the day. I paid $20 us just for one battery no extra charger. So it depends on how much you use your phone.

Just got one last week as the stock battery was dying hard, to the point where taking a picture with flash would cause a reboot due to not being able to supply enough charge.
This one is great. Lasts much longer, no more random reboots! Buy it. :good:

I bought one of these a while ago. Makes me feel like I've pimped my sensation ! Made my battery life go from about 7 hours of general use(web surfing, a bit of music) to a full day easily. It's a shame newer phones don't have a removable back as I'd love to do the same to my next too.

Buy now or wait for Prime?

I've been searching around this thing called the internet for an answer but I can't seem to find an answer as to if/when we're getting the S5 Prime on Sprint. Anyone know the details?

That's because no one knows and it hasn't even been made official although everyone knows it's happening. My guess is, is that it might not even be available in the US.
There's a post on Sammobile saying there will be "limited quantities" of it due to production costs of the 2K display.

I'd buy it again..
Buy a new device whenever you need/want it because waiting for the next great device will never work by the time that device comes out the next great thing will again be on the horizon and the cycle continues..

Oh I've been through the cycle and back. Lol. Good to know that the reports are vague at best. The last thing I want to do is use my upgrade now and then find out that a better version of the phone is coming out in 2 weeks.

That's how it usually happens... I hate that **** too

The answer is simple, if you think you will want what's in the ''prime" more then the reg s5 what's waiting another Month or so? If the s5 is good for what you want, then why wait?

I hate to say it, but ive never been more disappointed with a phone than with my s5. Battery isn't that good compared to my g2, it's slower than my s4 as far as unlocking and opening the camera, the fingerprint scanner is garbage for unlocking the phone. The camera is great in bright and dark situations but lower light it sucks. I do however like the look and feel, which is weird because most people talk about how much they hate it. Also why hasn't samsung implemented auto-input in the keyboard, it's 2014.

Anyone else think the radio in the update is an improvement? Seems to me it is. I've got h+, full time again. Not something that ive had in a while.
Please fix the F/C on this application. Thx.

In my case.I had to downgrade to the 4.4.1 radio since the the 4.4.3 one dropped signal so much and that drained around 10% battery overnight for 3 consecutive nights. That's the main issue I found with it. Now, with the .4. its all back to normal and get better signal on places like basements and spots that were dead before..

Yes, seems much better to me. 4.4.2 radio was terrible for drop outs then 4.4.3 radio fixed that but with a lot of battery drain. The new radio in 4.4.4 seems to have fixed both issues for me anyway and does seem to give a slightly better signal strength.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

with .3 and .4 I get a bit of distortion everytime I'm in a phone call. Any ideas? I've already flashed several times only the radio. Clean flash.

.16 Seems slightly better than .13 for me on T-Mobile usa.

No point comparing since it varies from one person to another. Across all radios I've seen absolutely no difference.

Good point. Its more about location. Some radios perform better on certain location. Also if you got poor signal, the phone will spend more energy looking for it.
It's about trying to see which does better where we leave.

Well in my case i went from 20+mbs down to1-2mbs. That's not walking around the apartment. Im up to 20mbs.This update is so small there cant have been much more than a new radio and a couple of fixes. Need to have a look at it when I've got the time.
Please fix the F/C on this application. Thx.

.16 is more than doubling my prior modem speed's on T-Mobile usa in Vegas (about 29mb down/18mb up).

Saw this thread and promptly pulled down the update. Won't know about improvements to battery for a few days. But 5 hours since update and androis OS is still # 1, and android system is # 3.

I have the french version who is the first to receive updates but what version are these ???

Still never got an update, W8 on Fido (Rogers). The only downside to a non-Nexus device - carrier updates grrrrr.

Been running the latest update since this morning.

How funny. I was in Best Buy on Saturday and visited the Samsung Kiosk. I had issues with my multi-window randomly popping up without pressing it. Anyways, I took it in and got them to reflash the device. Didn't notice till now but I got the update on that day, which solved my problems that I have been having since I got the device.

Can't wait until VZW pushes this out 6 months from now.

when does AT&T usually push anything? It's already April and I still haven't received the March security update.

So you don't want to update to a better performing phone, in hopes of rooting to get a better performing phone minus features. You may miss out and continue waiting until the s8. Just saying you should just try enjoying the phone.

I can confirm after almost a full 2nd day of use that this update does wonders for standby. My phone came off charger this morning at 8 AM, its not 4 PM and I am at 87% battery remaining. SOT only 23 minutes, some voice calls, some emails. But standby is outstanding and noticeably improved since the PC8 update.
