The bloatware testing validates that;

1) The software in question is unpopular and/or so useless that nobody in their right mind would want it
2) The software author is willing to pay to have it be bloatware
3) Must waste a significant portion of valuable memory
4) Must have an Icon and/or name that is similar to a useful app, making it difficult to differentiate as bloatware

Well I can tell you that Foxfi does not work again, hope the app developers come up with a fix asap. F dusche bags.

FoxFi still works, so long as you don't dismiss the Error dialog box that pops up.

Is anyone else unable to boot into recovery after this update? I was hoping it would solve the issue of the failing cache clear from the last update, but I can't even get to recovery mode.

Holding the applicable buttons brings up the S4 screen, and a line of text up top about loading recovery. Then the screen goes black and stays that way until I let the buttons go, at which point, it just reboots normally.

EDIT: Finally got it to work on the fifth try. Weird. Wipe cache still brings up an error, though.

Droid Life just published the Changelog information from Verizon and from Samsung:

Checked and got notice of update. Took 20 minutes OTA. It still says 4.2.2. The build number changed, though.

My update took almost two hours, during the initial download, halfway through it just stopped, then it went into software repair mode, and then the program just froze, for a bit I had a soft brick phone, so I restarted the software upgrade assistant and manually placed the phone into Odin mode, connected it to the PC and the software eventually was loaded, the most tedious software update ever for me.

Good thing I am familiar with rooting, but for someone who is not, would have been a complete nightmare.

How can I block the OTA update with Titanium Backup?

Did anyones font change since the update? Reading anything is horrible now IMO. I didn't see anything regarding font in the change log but perhaps I missed something.

Mine didn't, at least not noticeably
