Just throwing this out there because there's bound to be one of you to take the update and lose root. Don't do it till someone has a root method if one is needed. But this should be common sense.

Maybe it will fix those low radio power outputs that were noted from the FCC filings...

You said it, you and I both!! I don't know if it's just me or my area, but Verizon's 4G has gotten worse than it has ever been! I don't know whether it is a lack of optimization on the towers not having any back haul capabilities and getting congested? Or if the last 4 phones I've had in the past two months all just sucked, including a GS4, LG G2, and two Note 3's, I'm betting Verizon is just starting to suck plain and simple! I barely get above 2-3 Mbps, and that's if I'm lucky, otherwise my speeds are generally under 1 Mbps, yes 3G speeds! I feel like I'm on Sprint all over again. May be time to switch to T-Mobile!!

I agree you you on that! Before my data use to be faster then my home Internet but now it's the other way around. Like wtf man 4g lite is slower then my home Internet. And yes I live in a good area where I have 4 to 5 bars! Hoping thus update fixes that issue.

Just had the notification for the OTA update pushed to my phone about 10 minutes ago. I'm hoping it will be as easy as running OTA Rootkeeper, like it was last time.

Just got my GN3 4 days ago, and am apparently one of the lucky ones. Great battery life, everything just works. Also works perfectly with my Blueant S4 Visor unit, so that S-Voice handles everything perfectly, enabling completely handsfree operation for calls, texts, etc.

My question here is how would I go back to what I have now, should I decide to take the update, and it breaks something that is currently working fine now. That wouldn't be the first time an update broke something.

I have no need for root, so that is not a concern for me.

Thanks.

I had a bunch of that when I first got the Note 3 ... finally decided to fix my Internet problems and I don't get it any more... Went out and got a new router and modem that weren't 2 years old and all is well now...

and yes... all my other devices "seemed to work fine" on my old router setup... but then my other devices weren't as advanced as this thing is and had no way of letting me know i had instabilities in my connectivity.

I had the update notification show up as well.
I haven't done it yet.....waiting to see if root is still possible (kingo or other method).
I believe when the last update hit, it was said that OTA RootKeeper did not work.

    How were you able to get Triangle Away to get rid of the "Custom" at the bootloader screen? I've got it installed and it shows Current Status as:

    Code: 
    Counter: 0
Binary: Official
Device: SM-N900V
System: Modified

    I tried turning on the "System modified workaround", but that didn't change anything for me. :(

    Right underneath that status, there's a "Flash reset counter"
    Just click it, accept the warning... etc. Then reboot.
    Worked for me.
