Verizon software update VS98011A just pushed

[Les Common]

Phone just beeped at me and said there was a system update.

Gave a url of www.verizonwireless.com\g2support for info. URL's bad.

But, being the forward-thinking and somewhat trusting kinda guy I am, I ok'd it.

* * *

No obvious differences after a few minutes of poking around.

Didn't address my two peeves: FoxFi still don't work. Riptide GP2 still has annoying lags.

But I'm patient. They'll get worked out. (Heck, I waited on the Bionic and it eventually stabilized.)

And I still love my gorgeous speedy new phone.

What version Android? Wonder what's in the update, as I got the notification as well but not installing it until xda looks at it. Been on the road so no chance to research it.

Aaaarrrrrrrrrr.... Still 4.2.2. (it *is* talklikeapirateday, yknow...)

Kinda wish I didn't have to work so I could poke around more.

But do gotta work.

Not rooted either before (or after... heh) update)

Will post any noticed differences if I a) bump into them and b) recognize them as different. Still kinda settling in to the device.

It cant be anything major. Only shows 3 minutes to complete

for what it's worth... (hope it's ok to link to competitors)
Update rolling out for the Verizon LG G2 | Android Central

1 report of battery-drain. (I seem to have lost 5% to the upgrade, but battery-drain slope looks normal after that)

report of better "doubletap to wake" response. But mine was ok.

New transitions? might be a couple..

... back to work...

Hoping it is 4.3 pre-upgrade

I don't see much difference at all with the update...
Double tap turning the phone on might be slightly better, but that's it.

I dont' recommend updating as root but if any rooted vzw user HAS accepted this update, would you fire up root explorer and provide some info please? Goto /system/build.prop then long press and view as text. At line starting ro.build.fingerprint please advise on the 10 digit number directly before "user release keys" toward the end of the string. Thanks.

Were the tabbed menus always there? Got a hint about being able to switched between tabbed/list view. Maybe I just ignored the hint the first time.

Other than that, I do notice that the knock knock for turning on and (more importantly for me) turning off seem to be more responsive.

Ram usage went down quite a bit, battery is draining slower...

Thank you very much! I'll try to update the build.prop and see if it clears out the update nag for any rooters who don't want the update.
