How Goes Your 4.3 Update?

[lgalcarte]

UPDATE: I was rooted stock MI1 using the De la Vega method and couldn't take the OTA update. I unrooted using this thanks to jhom in another thread ([GUIDE] No-Wipe Factory Images (Restore from any soft-brick without wiping data) - xda-developers) = Odin factory MI1. Then the OTA downloaded and installed no problem! Of course, I lost root but it won't be long before someone will have that figured out. Thanks again!! DancingNexus

Really? Swipe down the status bar. There will be a row of them at the top of that screen. If you instead swipe down with two figures, you will see all 21 toggles.

GVLBob,

I misunderstood the WiFi Toggle you described. I was looking for a 'Hotspot' Toggle instead. Yes, I'm familiar with the WiFi Toggle. Instead of harassing you about v4.3's new features, do you know where can we read about them all in detail?

I'm with ATT and, so far, no upgrade. I wonder why.

Have you gone into 'about phone' and click system update to prompt phone to to go out and check?

I have yet to see one article that describes all of the features in the latest upgrade. To get a fairly inclusive story, one actually has to read all of the appropriate threads here and in similar forums.

But for one-stop shopping, Droid Life is normally a great place to start. They have a couple of good news items there.

There's another thread that said Verizon would be doing the update first.

Your upgrade isn't scheduled until mid-November.

How could you tell that LTE band is enabled... did not see in "about phone"

I asked Verizon if one could tell if band 4 was being used and was told "You can't".

I didn't ask if one could see any indication is band 4 was enabled, however.

Under Status, Mobile network type reads LTE. Is that what was indicated before?

I saw a screenshot somewhere at some point recently that showed it read LTE Band 4 - but I can't remember if it was even for a S4. I know, real helpful right?

But I don't think you'll use band 4 unless you're in an area where it's been enabled, and I think only a few places have been officially enabled.

On certain devices it reads LTE:13 - so I'm assuming it'll be LTE:4 where applicable.

Yes. It said my software was current.
