I'm looking to trade up and exchange my current 16gb to the 32gb before my 14 days is up. What I want with this thread is for EVERY POSSIBLE USER that has received their 32gb S4 to confirm whether or not it came with the ME7 update. This will help myself and hopefully a few others decide whether or not it is in our best interest to make the switch or just buy and SD Card to help us sleep a little better at night. Personally, I like the latest and greatest and the more memory the better. I have no problem filling up space (not intended to be a fat joke). Please post if your 32gb S4 came with the updated ME7 or under.
Thank you!
I got mine yesterday it didn't have the update. Rooted and loked right now.

No new firmware here either. Shows April date for current stuff.
Thanks for the few replies. Anyone else with the 32gig version please feel free to chime in.
Are you getting it online or in store? I've thought of this as well and figured i would do it in store but ask them to power on the device and look for myself first. But I'm sure a root method will eventually turn up.

I traded up to the 32GB, arrived today via FedEx. Did not come with the update installed, but did download it immediately OTA as soon as I activated it. That said, you have the option not to install it once it downloads.

Got mine today and when it gained 4G after setup it tried to download the update.
I blocked it by rooting real fast and doing the following.
Go to /cache/fota and delete the update.zip and then remove the permissions on the /fota folder the update can't download.
Here's what it does.. Both of my 32G came with MDK.. but both of them downloaded the ME7 update OTA when I activated the phones on my Sim cards and got it set up. However it gives u the option to install now or install later. If u don't want to update then hit install later..

Oh yeah, didn't have the update, got mine on Friday. Although it did download the update, I just set the time to install the next day, then I put a custom ROM on this beast

Got mine on Wednesday. They were setting it up at the store and I could see the update loading. He had to pull the battery to do something with the SIM card, so the update stopped, and when the phone came back on (he was still setting it up to activate) he did something to delay the update.
The next morning, after having the phone on the charger all night (but shut off), when I turned it on in the morning, it was installing the update (must have somehow downloaded the rest overnight (but the phone was off? ). So I just let it go.
Didn't have much of a chance to do much with the phone besides downloading my apps the first day and setting up my go launcher settings, so having the update day 2,I couldn't tell any difference.
But this phone is a ton snappier than my old phone -HTC Rezound, and loving it so far. My main reason to root in the past was to get the latest version of Android, since HTC and Verizon neglected my old phone. This one has the latest version already and with 32gb internal, I'm not concerned with the bloat...
I ordered a 32GB S4 via Verizon's website on 7/26 and it was still on the VRUAMDK software version. Luck of the draw I suppose!

Some of us want more than just root. If Loki had been patched by the time I purchased my S4, I would've returned it day 1.

How much was the 32gb? I got my s4 16gb a few days ago and it was like $249 upgrade price at verizon store with $50 mail in rebate :crying:
I did my phone upgrade via flywire.com
The phone arrived without the sim card installed.
I left the sim card out
Rooted it, twrp, installed apps via wifi, froze SDM using titanium backup, made a nandroid backup, installed cleanROM.
One can do a lot without inserting the sim card.
Samsung asks to download something initially (over wifi) , and when booting up after performing a data reset. I always said NO just in case it was the dreaded ME7 update
Online order here. It came with it.

I just got GTA III 10-Year Anniversary but cannot use it until I get home. It wants another 432Gb of data over WiFi. Oh well............
I can see it in the market and already downloaded it. I've only played a few minutes of it but it works great so far. its on sale for $3 now. I know for a fact the photon is one of the few supported devices. If you can't see it on your phone's market then i suggest trying the android market website
Its up now and on sale till the 29th. I can see it on Market and Amazon. I'm on stock rooted latest OTA. It runs fine on the tegra 2. BTW, check out the disabled effects you can enable here:

Well my phone died today, rebooted and would not turn on.. held down power button, power vol dn, etc.
Sprint is ordering me a new phone. My question is, hopefully the phone will not have the latest OTA installed. Is there a way to stop the OTA when I go to activate the new phone? Hopefully it wont just install no matter what.
Thanks
It's possible that the newest version will already be put on there before you even get it.
Otherwise if it's not on there, when you get the ota, let it download and the just don't install it when it ask. Simple as that.

Had my Sprint HTC EV 4G LTe for 5 weeks. Rooted phone after week 1. No problems until week 5 when I had left it in my windshield mount for 2 hours in the sun. After that there were several unexpected re-boots then after executing a "Mirror" app it froze. Any attempt to reboot phone gave continuous white HTC screen with vibrate or boot loop. Bestbuy junked it out replacing the phone. New phone is now updated with new OTA update waiting for new root code... No indication that Bestbuy detected "tampered" screen with root.
Otherwise very happy with phone!

Rooted my exchanged EVO as well. Had no trouble w the exchange at best buy either, but was before ota update. The girl doing my activation didn't turn over my new phone until after all the updates had been performed when the phone is first powered on. Snatch it from them before they accept HTC update is all I'm saying.

If you get the OTA, it is not that big of a deal. You can still root using this method: http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-l...tc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery/ Did it yesterday and it worked like a charm.

Yeah I dont trust them. Worst case if it comes with the new OTA I'll just do the HTCdev unlock and root. From everything I read it puts me back pretty much where I was with root and s-off.
Just pisses me off quite a few people are having the same issue the phone dies for no apparent reason.
I'm on my wifes og EVO because last night, I plugged in to charge and this morning when I woke up, phone was dead... No button combination worked and I gotta assume its a paperweight...

Thats how mine died. Plugged in to charge, and it died. Were you using the charger that came with the LTE or a different one. I was using a charger from my EVO OG. I wonder if that has something to do wih it.
R u sure the charger isn't broken and it just died from being on all nite? Try a different charger

Mine still had a 40 percent charge and was only on the charger for 5 mins. I am seeing a trend, from others that this has happened to. Most if not all were not using the charger that came with the phone.

Since the 4.0 OTA my phone has just been doing random crap.
1.) Locking up and rebooting at least once a day.
2.) In the middle of a phone call it will disconnect the call with whomever i was talking to, and connect me with a random person from my address book.
3.) one of the verizon junk apps (Emergency Alerts i think it is) will go off on its own, and i have never used it or set it up..
so i take it in and Im not sure if i am the only person who has been having these problems (from what the verizon rep noted, i was not the only one). they are sending me a new one , they said that the OTA made a mess on some phones, bricked others and the ones that are from the factory or newer ones are working much better.
now for the part that surprised me..take this with a grain of salt as usuall but she said that the 4.1 Jelly bean was going to be ota in about another month..
anyways, anyone else had the listed problems?
ps central us for those that are going to ask, no longer vat/city
If I do a lot of browsing, my phone will randomly scroll through random apps and open them, almost like the screen is stuck. Only way to stop is power volume down. Then it is good for a day or two, then it does it again. I am completely stock, never rooted or installed custom rom.

So how does returning the phone work if I bought it on new egg.com. Do I go through them or can I call Verizon to do a warranty exchange. I've had the phone since March this year.

If it's under factory warranty, Verizon will send you a refurb. My previous phone was a Incredible 2 that I purchased at Radio Shack, and when my LCD stopped working after about 5 months, Verizon sent me a replacement at no cost.
As a last ditch effort, you can try flashing the stock fastboot files. I'd recommend a factory reset and format of the cache partition before doing so. That way, if there was something that didn't update properly with the OTA, you're starting off with a fresh, clean install. Instructions to flash are here http://theunlockr.com/2012/01/24/how-to-restore-the-motorola-droid-razr-using-fastboot-files/, and the fastboot files are found here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_spyder/list.php

It's not based on location. People have been reporting the upgrade here on the west coast U. S. Since the 11th. My son just got it on the 13th for his n10, my n10 still has nothing as does his n4 and the wife's n7. Who knows the order of the rollout.....???? Seems like they really have it throttled back.... 3 days in the same area and some have it and others don't.

Facebook is bypassing the Play store for updates now, but it never actually updated for me either.
As a note, I got rid of the message by holding it down and going to App Info and then Clear Data. It hasn't started again since. Be careful not to disable it (the Download Manager), as it will cause a lot of problems on your device, especially at boot and when accessing the Google Play Store from your device!!!
I actually went in downloads then to other downloads then trashed it and problem solved

Had this for a couple days. Googled it and people said to stop downloads in app manager. Did that and it would go away for a bit and just come back.
Then last night I got a message saying a Facebook update was ready to be installed or something. So I installed it and now no more message.
Anyone that keeps getting that notification want to check what version of Facebook you have? My "new" version is 2.2.1-g2.
Just curious if there's really a difference.
