Every day I check it says up to date. I called AT&T twice but they claim they can't initiate the push. Tried the advance date trick, too. I even did a complete factory reset. Just curious if this is normal. Thanks.

Are you in USA, and connected to at&t network ? Did you try with WiFi on and off? Did you try to go to Best Buy Samsung Expiriance and ask them to flash firmware for you?

Yes, in USA, connected to AT&T 4glte. Yes, tried every which way (even through Kies). In Chicago there isn't a Samsung Experience in the city shockingly. I can get out to one but it's a haul.
Just chatted with AT&T again and they believe they just haven't pushed it out to my IMEI yet. I don't buy it, but that's their story. They said it might even take months before it pushes to my device. They can't manually push it, apparently.
If anyone has other suggestions, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Try hooking up to Kies on a PC. You can manually get the upgrade there normally.

Kies showed I was on the most recent firmware, oddly.
However, I was wrong about BestBuy - despite the BB website showing no BBs in Chicago have The Samsung Experience, I think they all do. I walked 20 steps from my work into one and they flashed Lollipop in two min. Ha!
So, if you don't have it yet, go to BestBuy!
Don't be in too much of a rush to get it. It's been nothing but a headache for more than a couple people.

i had to flash oem kitkat to my att note 4, which right after the flash immediately got lollipop.
if you do got to the Samsung kiosk have them re-flash kitkat. then the download for lollipop will update after setup.

My girlfriend bought a gs4 recently and it was working fine till today. She lost T-Mobile service. There is no signal it just says unable to connect. WiFi works fine but it won't connect to T-Mobile network for some reason. So she can't make calls or text. We reset it a few times, took the SIM card out and put it in my phone. And her SIM works on my phone. So it's the gs4, we tried doing almost everything
Anyone else have this issue?

make sure that the phone is not in "airplane mode".
When you pull down the nofication screen slide the
toggles left and right til you see "airplane mode"
and be sure it's not lit up.
Good luck!
She said she took it to tmobile but they said they can't fix it and can't do nothing about it. As for airplane mode it's not in it. It's weird it would automatically turn of the enable data connection when check it on and try to connect to tmobile network it can't connect and it uncheck the box automatically

I can't see where the OTA file is, so that I can flash it with LG Flash Tools. I'm also kind of worried because some people have been having problems. It's not nearly as easy as flashing a Samsung phone, for sure.
Does anyone know if ATT would let me borrow a sim to try to update it? I only have a T-Mobile sim card....:/

Mine is att carrier for lg optimus g pro and i get the message that phone isnt registered when i want to update it. Hasnt had any updates since i bought it in 2014 or 2015
How can I tell if my phone is flashed to another carrier? The phone says Sprint and Sprint is telling me the phone is not compatible for the phone type? I'm not sure what the heck this means.
It might be Sprints system is not updated with the phone yet since they have not officially released the phone yet.
I might be way off base but that is my first thought.

My guess is that the ESN for that phone is no longer in sprints database. As far as seeing if its been flashed to another carrier I am not too sure about
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Do you get a second hand phone? Maybe a stolen one or an account which was disconnected because he/she didn't pay. That's what is called a "bad esn" phone. If yes you won't be able to use it on Sprint.
infected with the unspeakable
Thing was, I called Sprint about it, gave them the ESN and they said it was clean and ready for activation, but when I try to activate it, it not a compatible phone type.
I have an s3 that i was selling to mother in law to use on consumer cellular. T mobile provided an unlock code that does not work. They are supposedly investigating this. I tried to pay an online unlocker for a code, I told them the code t mobile provided that did not work, They were unable to generate an unlock code ,
What is is going on. T mobile sim locks phones and then cant provoide correct unlock codes??
What other option do i have?
This seems like a bunch of BS on tmobile part.
Selling to MiL ? I'd give for free if I were you.
Seriously speaking, you can take the phone to a T-Mobile store for further investigation. If the code does not work, don't try it repeatedly. The phone will lockup for good.
If the code did not work, make sure the T-Mobile Rep has taken down your IMEI correctly. Make them repeat it to make sure its correct.
There are other ways to unlock. But in order to try them, I need to know what android version you have right now. Its listed in Settings > About.
Its running stock rooted 4.3 with stocm recovery and some bloat removed. Have verified t mo has correct imei. Have tried 2 old centennial wireless sims and an old at&t sim. No luck.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Since you are on 4.3, the other way to unlock is out of question. Please take the phone to a T-Mo Store after you get the new unlock code.

I just got done with TMO online chat and they said to make sure the WiFi is off before you do it.
I am going to try this when I get home.
Check out chainfires Region Lock Away app on the play store or here on xda. Its built for the note3 on 4.3 firmware, but ive seen claims it works on the S3 and others. I suggest reading the thread to be certain, but it may be a viable option for those running 4.3 rooted.

gf reported her phone lost because it was cracked, samsung sent her a new one so now i want her old one. I put in my sim card but it says "Not register to network" im thinking maybe t-mobile blocked the phone somehow since it was reported lost but I figured there was a work around. Friend told me unlocking the phone and setting it to international radios may help but i have no idea how to do this since im new to the android community. Switching from iphone to android! So yeah, please help!
White T-mobile Galaxy S4 on jellybean, updating it to kitkat though.
Yup, T-Mobile blocked it.. There's no legal way around it, maybe your gf calling T-Mobile to unblock it, but they'll probably charge her full price for the one they sent her.. You could try using a different carrier, but it could end up being blocked again.. You could also sell it to someone in another country, blacklist won't go past the US

You can't use international radios.. And I don't know, but I would think so, using a local carrier should be fine

There are services that will fix this for you. I payed 35$ for my blocked tmobile s4 to be repaired.
I did this with an HTC EVO 3D. It was locked for 2 years so I flashed the phone to a different carrier and it worked. You might have problems with different features but it is posibble to still use the phone. Find a cellular store that will flash it. They normally charge around 50 dollars, give or take.
