New update? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I was sitting in a movie theater earlier doing a sudoku puzzle on my phone before the movie started, and something popped up about a system update. Because my battery was low (25% I believe) and I was going to be turning my phone off during the film, I tapped cancel. Now it's not showing that there's an update of any kind available, and I can't find any info online other than the news about the leaked 4.2.2 build, and I doubt we'd be seeing that this soon.
Am I missing something, or was this some sort of a fluke?

Did you try forcing an update in settings-system update-firmware update?

When I go to Settings -> System Update -> Firmware Update it just says "No firmware update is available".

I'm assuming you're already on the latest build (md4)? If there's a new update since then, this would be the first we're hearing of it.

Kernel source would drop first if there were an update.

my guess is that he got a profile update or a PRL update. i just happened to me about an hour ago.

That's probably it then. I thought it was odd that I hadn't heard anything about an upcoming update. Thanks!

Current PRL has been rolled back to 60676. Error is Sprint originated. If in settings, phone info, status that is your prl then you are fine.

Like most others you will wake up one morning and it will be on 76, there is a way to do it manually but you need to get your msl. Google update prl manually if you are concerned about. It won't make that much difference unless you travel alot, roam a lot, or you are in one of the areas that had a roaming tower switch.
Rethinking this prl error thing. I Odin'd back to DI18 and tried the PRL update and still no go. Let the OTA update to EC05, no go. Called Sprint and he (of course) had me go through a few different resets and still no go, even got me locked in an activation loop. So somewhere along the way my update ability was broken. Was it something in DK28? Since it broke GPS's and some USB connections. Not sure but luckily with insurance I will be getting a new phone next week to see what works. My g/f's phone has gone mostly the same path as mine but prl updates fine. All phones are not created equal.
It's Sprint's problem. I wish they just would know and admit that. We're stuck at 60676 for now anyway. Manual updates are the way to go if you must. I think folks have been using QPST.
Sprint has basically acknowledged the issue on their support forum. I tried to post the URL but this site wouldn't let me.
Of course, acknowledgement and fixing it are 2 very different things. I don't think they know the root cause particularly at the technician level. They just send you through some resets and then offer to swap your phone.
I wonder if this will be fixed in the next OTA update?

Hmm...maybe. But why do the new phones work, unless it is something in the first batch of Epics that went out, if so then why does the 2nd phone on my account update fine? If both phones purchased at the same time were not updating then I wouldn't question it, but the fact that 1 does and 1 don't bothers me and makes me feel like something in the rooting process or ROM flashing knocked it out. I have seen the posts on Sprint, but I think it is due to the amount of reports that they have gotten and have no idea what is wrong. Once they get my phone back, they will have another one to work with.

My phone updated fine when I got it in mid Jan 2011. I started getting update errors about a week BEFORE the 2.2 OTA update. I have never rooted and am completely stock. My guess is there is a software glitch on some phones or the servers that is preventing the handshake between the phone and the servers for updating. It could be that Sprint has unknowingly programed their servers for some ESN's not to update. I just hope they find the root cause and fix it.

Maybe...certain ESNs? Trying to lock out first Gen Epics? Every theory I come up with gets blown. I imagine both phones on my account are the same gen purchased a week after they came out. I guess I have to let it go and be happy with a new phone next week.

i got tmobile and Jelly Bean on m y S3. when i try to update thru the software update i get this message and am not able to update my S3:
Access to the software update services is provided to users in the order in which they request it, Try again later.
i never got this before. what do i do?
Try again later.
I got the same message...to me it seems like network congestion...to many people trying to download at the same time. I waited a few hours and then was able to get the update. You can also go on your computer and download Kies and update that way.

The update wont fix those issues...Its a radio update only
If you are having issues over and over your phone is messed up...send it in for warranty service...JB is running smooth/flawless/good battery on 99% of the people I talk to...
At least if its never been rooted and bone stock...if its been rooted id start all over from scratch and get a good rom on it

Software Version update to 5.0.2/ Build LWX49K

Hi All. I was wondering how many others have started getting the 5.0.2 update? (I was lazy and instead of taking screenshots... I just took some quick pics with my phone of the update info to post for anyone interested).
I received the update this evening and tried to find some information about the changes through an internet search. The update looks to be fairly minor and what I found says it should provide bug fixes and an update to Google Play services. Most of the info I've found discusses the update rolling out for the Moto 360, but I also found people who are reporting their LG G Watch R got the update too.
So far, the update is running smooth for me with no problems. I'm hoping it will continue to work well. I'm loving my Sony Smartwatch 3 and I'm glad to see that we got the update so quickly. :good: I just thought I'd check to see who else got the update and see how it's running for them.
Yes, I also got my update this morning, but am not sure what is new or updated...
Got it at Malaysia, about 3pm....
Waiting for the update...
What about this compass problem:

Dumb question time. Does the watch get the update via bluetooth or do you connect it to your PC via usb.
I am in Australia and my watch says it is up to date on 5.0.1 so I guess it is on it's way downunder sooner or later.
I'm just gettinh this update.

I received the update wirelessly without plugging it in to the computer (I'm guessing by bluetooth). The watch just gave a notification to swipe left to install the update. I read on one website where the watch should be charged to at least 80%... but I don't know if it has to be charged that that much to get the update. Im guessing that like other OTA'S, the update is being released in phases, so it's hard to say exactly when each person will get the update.

Wow... I didn't realize there was a problem with the compass since I don't really use it. I see where you also posted on the Sony forum to ask if the update fixes the problem. Hopefully someone will be able to respond quickly. If I get some time, I'll try to test it out.... but it will probably be a while.
Got this tonight, in Australia.
First thing I noticed is tilt to wake is way better... is it just me? I used to have to do ridiculous contortions to make the screen wake previously.

No update showing on my watch here in Adelaide, that is weird.
It must have gotten blown in on the cyclone but typical Adelaide, backwards.
I haven't ether in U.S (florida)
Got the notification around 20 minutes ago here in Oregon, USA. It looks like the update was delivered "OTA" to the watch via BlueTooth in the background, as I did not have to sit there and watch a download progress meter. My first inclination that there was an update was when the watch gave me a notification saying "Update ready to be installed!". Of course I swiped left only to be told I need to charge up first
I've got my watch charging now, will install ASAP. Annoying that there is no official changelog or blog post explaining what is new / fixed, just speculation.

Not really that strange.. they send the updates out based on hardware batches... it has little to do with geographical locations..
for the record I haven't seen the update yet either, in Perth WA
I've got mine last night , here in italy, after messing up/ stressing my poor smartwatch 3 i reset the watch.. tried to install " new update " via Sony Pc companion.. than reset it again.. in the end the " poor " watch gave up and sent me " downloading update " ...
i didn't notice anything " new " so probably some fixes !

Updated last night. Phone got pretty hot. I was having a kind of increased battery drain since 5.0, but this seems to have taken care of it, as far as I can tell from just this morning.
To those who are experiencing the hotter than normal phones, are you using the supplied Fast Charger?
Mine is dead after charging overnight. When I picked it up this morning it was very hot, but couldn't get any response out of it. Taking it to a ATT Device Support Center to try and get a warranty replacement. This was the first time I had charged my phone after installing the update yesterday afternoon.
Maybe a chance the small update screwed with the fast charging somehow?
These updates are becoming more and more of a headache. I really wish they would stop just shoving these things out here before being throughly tested. And if they don't, at least they could unlock the bootloader. I'd take it from there.
I actually haven't had too much of an issue. Android system seems to be taking up less battery than before which is nice. Just to make sure I did a factory reset, cleared cache and installed everything fresh. So far battery life seems the same as before.
My battery life is better but won't know for sure until several days. I see android system taking way less %, actually android also.

Phone app > Settings > more settings > call forwarding
I'm interested in seeing if the 'SIM or network error' is still happening after that update. I updated to the 5.0.1 and it broke forwarding, and thus my gear S...so I rolled back to kitkat last night and it's happy again.
My heartrate sensor keeps lighting up on its own after the update.

Another update M6E69B 05 August 2016

Here is another update to M6E69B
https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../ea3f22cafa01264ded185bdec71b42821cec2c59.zip
I have no idea what it fixes / enhances / solves. I just got the update notice on my watch and grabbed it.
edit - I cannot see anything new other than the version. Sounds, watchfaces, installed apps, all the same. Let's hope the bugs are fixed, especially bluetooth drops.
Updated to it too. Can't spot any diffrences.
Someone on Reddit says it is a security update. Nothing else shows on Google Search.

Was hoping this update fixed the pairing issue on Nexus 4 phones, so I installed your latest ROM update, but it still fails to pair.
Received the update and installed automatically instantly. Haven't noticed anything different and I still can't seem to answer whatsapp calls anymore over bluetooth.

Tell me about it!!!! I'm still on "June" update, since I got the watch in July. I've been waiting for the OTA and it never comes. Is there a trick? I go to about>check for updates and its always "up to date". I have my "wifi" going to sleep after 3hrs. The thing always on the puck/charger overnight at 100% battery. But these OTA never happen. Looks like I've already missed the "July" update, and will probably have to get that before the "august" update....
What are you guys doing ??? Other than sideloading via adb....

No where has I seen that Huawei does monthly updates on any device. This was a patch for bluetooth, wifi, and security from comments I have found and searching. Older versions never even mentioned the security patch data. I do see better BT range and few BT dropouts, battery is the same. I don't do calls on the watch but use my BT headset for that.
