OK so in the samsung task manager I have a Sprint Updater running and I have never seen this before. I have had my wifi on this whole time and untill I shut it off and connected to 3g this app started running.

For people who dont know how to get to the sprint task manager hold down the home button at the home screen and hit the "task manager" button when the window pops up.

Anyone else get this running on their phone I am guessing that my phone just started the update.

Sprint updater pops up time to time when the phone begins checking for an update. It has an internal timer I believe. Every couple of weeks or so, I see it random times.

This may be different and good though.:)

If it is you should be able to see it downloading by hitting menu key then going to "about phone/system updates/update android

Because before you update, you can pull the update from your phone, and he can get it set up for everyone to use.

That's what we are all here waiting for.

After you update, you'd have to do a full system dump to get the data, instead of using Sammy/Sprint's update file.

I think this will run each time you reboot your phone. I just rebooted and saw it in background apps in system panel.

Go to settings, about phone, system updates and hit the home button. Then check your task manager..... There it is!

could you or he provide the location from which to grab the file from on the phone?
