If you were rooted and had a custom ROM, such as BAMF 1.5 or later, or any other recent ROM, you have this update already. Don't people realize this?
 
When I frist tried to download, using Settings, Software update I got the message Service Not Available, turned off wi-fi, re-tired and it immediately started download procedure.
 
I hate Verizon....same crap here with the error, and to check when service is available. Why the hell wouldn't they make us aware an update is available?

My wifi is not on and I'm still getting that message, but I suspect it's a rolling update. Anyone is SoCal get the update yet?
 
I almost never saw 3G when out of 4G. I would either have no data connection or 1X in places where I've had a connection with all of my other phones. This alone is worth it for me to get the update. The GPS seems fixed as well.

I'm not a big ROM guy, just rooted for shootme and wifi tether so my needs for root may be different than yours.
 
Got it and installed. I was having trouble with a 4g connection before. Sitting at my desk I'd go from 4g to 3g to to 1x to nothing.

After this update I seem to have a stable 4g connection, and getting about 7MBps download speeds.
 
I have 1.5 BAMF with the 1.16.00.0402w_1. I checked for update and it says "No new Software Update Available." Location...UTAH
 
I have a feeling the delay may have been planned to release the updated in conjuction with Google I/O
 
Seems like my phone is more responsive after this update. Typing and just general usage like app loading and browser use are snappier. I was having some lag before this update. Can't comment on 4g since I don't live in a 4g area yet. Other than that I haven't noticed anything. Hopefully BT is fixed.
 
Just downloaded, no issues here :) gps seems faster to lock

edit - I may have spoke too soon. My text message notification just went off with no text message received. grr
 
Scratch that folks! Same connection issues here. Connected to 4g, but no activity with the connection. Any data usage just hangs and then times out.

Updated my rooted TB but lost root. Can wait to root again later, the GPS and 4G/3G fix are worth it.

I take it you didn't flash the leak before the OTA. The leak is the same (same software and radio numbers anyway) so I assume thats why I'm not getting any update (I'd of course decline it anyway).

And while we are at it I think those who had random reboots was more a kernel compatability issue since almost every rooter has a tweaked kernel. Since switching to current kernel (adrynalyne 4.4.5) I've had zero random reboots. I dont think the OTA is any different than the leak but absense of reboots are due to oem kernels.
 
Download was <1min on 4G. Reflash took longer than expected and it seemed to stick on a boot screen after 100% flash was complete and then went back to boot screen for a while after HTC logo screen. Was a little nerve racking, but everything seems to be working fine now.
