If it goes like all others when you see all other carries on the patch don't start holding your breath as Verizon typically is last to upgrade.

It would really be great it VZW gave a timetable or status about these updates. I have been dealing with VZW updates on android since the origional Moto Droid. It is usually radio silence and then - "you have an update"

I don't get it.  You've only had the phone a few weeks at best and you're asking about system updates already?  I still haven't figured out all the S4 bells and whistles, let alone deal with an upgrade already.

I agree Jrh4054 but the features are nice. But After being with verizon for well over 15 years I've learned one thing, that's to be patient.

Gpeterden, I hope you're enjoying your S4! I can see you're anxious for updates. I do not currently have any details on upcoming software updates. Once available, you'll find details at vzw.com/support under Device.

Verizon does this so no one can pigeon hole them into a launch schedule. If something goes wrong in development, and it always does, no one can yell that the update hasn't been released it, but they never knew when it was happening anyway. Not saying I like it, but that's how it is. Plus, when was the last time Verizon made us FEEL like they really care about us?  I don't know what the other carriers do. I've not been with any of them.

Next thing you will hear when the update does happen is "That new update screwed up my phone and made it totally worthless" like we are hearing from many of the S3 owners after VZW released that update a few weeks ago.  Then a couple of days ago VZW release another update to fix the previous update and the jury is still out on if it really fixed the phone.  Be careful what you wish for as you just might get it.

That's because most people don't prepare their phones the correct way prior to installing the update.

And how does one prepare their phone for an update? I ask as a new Android user.
