I had to do the date forward trick to get it to download. It downloaded and installed 100% successful. My phone is stock as the day I bought it. Some people say they have seen "failed" install from being rooted, but it still installs.
Testing, and will report back.

Can you tell me how you did this?
Yeah, I got the failed update and now it won't power on at all.
If anyone knows what to do please let me know.

Just set your calendar one day ahead.
I just want to know how this update would effect a rooted phone.... i am currently running SRE 1.3.1c
It seems like anyone with a rooted phone might get an error, but it still installs fine. First impressions is actually really good. The phone feels a little faster. The videos are smoother and so is the gallery. When I opened maps it found my location instantly instead of getting the %waiting for location" message. Accuracy was 1000 meters, but I didn't turn on the GPS.
Also the signal strength and internet speed seems much faster. And stronger for me

Just updated mine. Gps is a lot faster! I can even get a lock when indoors now.
I can no longer access the gps menu through the dialer though.

The OTA update now allows me to go into the three button recovery mode. I couldn't do this before.
Does anyone know if we have an unlocked Captivate on another carrier, will be be getting the update? If not, how does one go about getting it?
Installed fine on my rooted phone gps seems snappy but I can't really test right now. Media scan still taking a while but the phone is less laggy while it's running.
So far so good considering I was ready to ditch this phone yesterday. Temporary rage reduction for me.

Downloading now....
Dropped connection during d/l now I cant get it to d/l at all even after a rommanger restore.
I manually checked for a software update on my rooted Captivate, and after downloading and rebooting, I got a message saying the update was not installed.
Mine isn't even showing an update available. I've set the date forward to tomorrow, the 24th, the 25th, 26th, 27th, none show an update available...grrrr...
Any link to the software other than OTA?
Update not installed but baseband version changed to JH7.
I don't notice any difference on a factory-software phone. GPS still does not work indoors at all. I'll try in my vehicle later.

Just tried the update
on my rooted/bloatware deleted phone got a message along the lines of "Update Not Completed. Your phone was not updated successfully." Didn't brick my phone though, thank god. Anyone else get this message?

Same here, on the white screen after installing the update it got to 50% and failed. Check my firmware still says jf6 with 2.6.29 [email protected] #2 kernel
I just went to download it on my sister's phone since hers is still factory stock, unrooted, etc...
Nothing at all. Didn't even download the update. Now I can't check for another 24 hours.
I just recently rooted my phone today and i havent put any mods on my phone yet. I have the EVO by the way, but now when i tried to install some apps to my phone its almost like the download never starts. Just see the wiggly lines can apps only be downloaded to an unrooted phone?
You can definitely download apps on a stock rooted phone, I did & I'm sure everyone else has too. Apparently there are issues with the market on the Evo sometimes not working after rooting, but I don't know why. I've seen multiple posts over in the Evo q&a forums. Go check them out or do a search, I'm sure this issue has been fixed here on XDA.
You could try flashing a custom Rom. After I first rooted my phone I was afraid to, but now I don't think I'll ever go back to stock. My phone runs so much better now.
If you have any questions or are wondering what to do now that you've rooted, feel free to send me a pm & I'll help you out

Sometimes when I click on "Messages" and then click on a thread I wish to view a totally different thread gets opened. I know it's not my finger because the thread that would open is oftentimes nowhere close to the one I clicked on. Several times I've inadvertently sent an SMS to the wrong recipient, which resulted in several comical situations.
Has anyone experienced this issue? I've tried to search the forum but didn't come up with anything.

This is a Froyo (and maybe before) issue and not an issue on "every android phone". Once you upgrade to a custom Gingerbread Rom or the official Gingerbread update (as of today this isn't out yet) you will see this problem go away.
It seems to be a problem with all android phones no matter the rom. It did it on my rooted Droid 1 also. Go sms pro is a good replacement for stock. Rooted or not it fixes the problem and has a lot more options.
Sent from my rooted Thunderbolt!
Roger that, I have the same issue. Also, I moved to the T-bolt from an Evo and the Evo with Froyo had the same problem. As soon as I installed CM7 on the Evo, the problem was gone.
I'd say try using GO SMS Pro. Much better than the stock messaging application.
After doing some digging I see there is a new LS996ZV5 update. I am rooted so have not gotten any OTA notifications. Has anyone gotten it and does it help with lag and battery?
My phone seems pretty snappy as is but always want the latest if possible.
Guess one last thing. What are thoughts on timetable of custom recovery and maybe some rooted roms for us Sprint users?
Any discussion welcome!

Got the update OTA this morning (I am stock). Phone is absolutely flying now.
Not sure on battery life yet as it's only been a couple of hours since I updated.
I unrooted and took the system update. It wasn't the new firmware though. Not sure what it was. I tried to have phone look for firmware update afterwards and it didn't show the new one yet.

it won't work while rooted, i've tried, twice. i'm waiting on the update prompt again to try my next thing, but if you want to try it feel free. if you open up superuser and go to the settings there is an option to fully unroot the device, its towards the bottom. After you do that restart and then try and apply the update.
let me know if it works! hopefully i get the update prompt again in the morning and will finally be able to get this thing updated!!!!
So curious as to what this update was. All I know is that today my battery life isn't nearly as good. Normally after working for 8hrs my phone is around 75%... Today it was at 40%... Massive difference and i did nothing out of the ordinary
That sounds like my phone, I've noticed that I Google services is using more battery than the screen recently.
Sent from my LG-H959 using XDA Free mobile app
My battery life has actually been really good. I was getting 15-20 hrs before the update and now I am getting 25-30 hours after. (Light use)
My battery seems pretty good also. Plus it does appear the widgets are loading faster and less jumpiness between screens. Rerooted after the update and all seems fine so far

i didn't get prompted with the update again this morning so i wasn't able to try anything to get my phone to update today. if someone hasn't applied the update yet but has the prompt would you be able to grab the update file and post it? i'll do the same if i get the update prompt again and nothing has been posted yet. at least that way we can try stuff without having to wait for it to decide to check for an update since the manual update check doesn't appear to do anything.....
Hmmmm. I guess I'll use GServiceFix app. See if that solves my issues
---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 AM ----------
Yeah. Its the android system using the battery. Used this fix app before and it solved my problems. Hopefully its still reliable.
again this morning, no update prompt and the "check for update" function continues to say i'm up to date. because i had issues with my first two i signed up for sprint insurance. if i don't get prompted for the update by monday morning i'll stop in a sprint store and see if i can get it swapped again. only problem with that is chancing getting one that overheats or has a bad screen like my previous two did
i rooted and got the OTG upgrade message, and i try but it show error and said my device is rooted then can't upgrade software. Then i try to use "fully unroot" in supersu, the supersu gone, but the error still shown. do anyone know how to unroot and upgrade? thank you very much!

sorry, you are stuck there are a couple of other threads with further discussion on it but so far no one has been able to get the OTA to apply after they have rooted. some of us have been able to get new devices through sprint with having their insurance and play it off as the OTA won't update. they have had enough issues with the device they don't really question it.

Help! On screen buttons not working!
I really need help. I factory reset my LG G Flex 2 cause I wanted to erased my info and give it as a present to my father for his birthday next october 14 and now the onscreen buttons don't respond, only the back button, nor the multitasking or home button. I turned it off and on, reset it several times, cleared the partition cache or whatever it is called but no luck, mine is running LS996ZV5. It was perfect before the reset. I feel so bad. Thanks in advance for your help.
Hopefully someone can help me with this.
I am having an issue with my phone where the top left corner does not want to respond unless I restart the phone. This happens a completely random times and I am unable to pinpoint it. It all started the other day when the update came out. I have format my phone I have used Samsung smart switch to reinstall the OS and issue keeps coming back. I'm also having the same issue towards the bottom where are Google now application launcher is located. If you are using TouchWiz it is in the middle of the message app when I press the area it doesn't do anything unless I press to the right of it. I have turned on developer tools and selected show touches. I can see the touches and everything looks like it should work but the OS doesn't do anything. Once I reboot everything goes back to normal. When this happens I am unable to hit back on applications such as Gmail and I have to use a physical button to go back.
Phone is completely stock and had not been rooted.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks for your help
Admin can you please move to Q&A thread please. I realized I posted in the wrong spot.
This has also happened to me and I'm on a custom rom. Mind you, my screen was replaced not long ago because of stuck pixels, and I thought this could be problem with the new screen. Not sure what is happening, though.
I found on another forum that it had to do with Samsung pay and when that corner stops working for me I force stop the pay and pay framework and it stays working again

It's less than 2 bucks and doesn't require root. (can't use with root anyways) It can disable any app including the Tmobile my account app.
Best 2 bucks I've spent.
Perfect! Thank you very much

I'm actually currently having this same exact problem. The thing that confused me was that it's the top left corner, no matter your screen orientation. Meaning it MUST be something OS related. But now I'm hearing Samsung Pay is the culprit? It's never caused this before until today...

Well, wasn't Samsung Pay. I had both disabled and the issue came up today. I tried to figure out which app it was but I couldn't figure it out. I went to my recent apps and forced closed each one but the left corner was still messed up. I couldn't get it back until I restarted.
Others are having the same issues on reddit.

When I force close them I also Uninstall the updates and clear the cache. That always seems to fix it for me.

I just uninstalled, clear cached, and and restarted. I'll see if it comes back. Thanks for your update.
Glad to know the problem is possibly a widespread one so Samsung has a better chance at fixing this.

Yeah hopefully. T-mobile said all updates come from Samsung so they can't do anything but exchange the phone. Someone on reddit said he exchanged his phone and the issue came back. Plus, they send you a refurbish sometimes.

It's an irritating problem, for sure, but not enough to go through all that. I'm just gonna wait it out for that Marshmallow update in January.
I'm having the same issue. I thought it was my phone and was about to contact tmobile about sending a replacement. Glad to know it's not just me. Looks like I'll just wait until the next update.
And I don't think it's Samsung Pay since I'm rooted and don't even have it installed

I had the same issue. I called tmobile and they were useless. Phone is stock and not rooted. Mine would happen and id reset the phone, it would be good for a few hours and then happened again. At first I thought it may be my case touching a part of the screen since the phone has such thin bezels. It wasn't the problem. I decided to do a factory reset and I've been good for 5 days now. I used Samsung pay before the reset and still use it now.

Yeah, they were useless for me too. I'm chatting with Samsung support via FB but they don't have any idea either. I've tried everything as well. I'm really out of options at this point. Sometimes when I clear everything from recent apps it starts working again but when I clear the same apps via force quit it doesn't work. I cant' figure out which app is causing it.
Samsung support is having me run my phone in safe mode for a few hours to see if the issues comes back. They're trying to see if it's a built in app or third party one.
