I read it on the internet, it must be true... :)

A few hundred people with the phone on XDA, and 15 get it... You would think at least one other forum member somewhere other than XDA would have received it. But nobody on the two forums I am on daily received it, unless they rooted and got it from the links at XDA. Nor have I heard any claims about the earlier drop that didn't reference XDA.

I don't know why someone would fake a release, but if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it just might be a duck.

I keep checking for the update on my phone and get the error message "Authentication Error". Before, it would just say "No update at this time". I hope I didn't ruin things checking so frequently once I saw the Sprint release yesterday.

Maybe I just have to wait until it's pushed to my LGOG? Or is the authentication error a larger issue? Anyone know anything about this?

I googled authentication errors and kept finding WiFi issues, but that certainly is not an issue for me.

I am not sure what could be causing your error, but I just decided to check both LG updates and firmware updates to see if it might be a system wide thing, and I got the usual messages indicating that nothing is available.

Thanks for the info. I'll wait a few days and if I still haven't gotten the update, I will try a factory reset and then try to update. I'm planning on a factory reset after I update to JB anyway, so nothing to lose really. Thank the gods for G+ auto-upload full size! It really makes anything on my phone's hard-drive a non-issue if it dies.

Btw Sprint says all phones should have it within 10 days.

Well there ya go. :D

And as for the guys over at xda? They have quite a few hundred. We have a very few over here. Its like fishing in a freshly stocked pond over fishing in the weeds. Just aint gonna catch anything unless you got fish ya know?

Besides we all think the earlier guys got a leak somehow. Not sure and no way of actually knowing. But i would expect to see it in the next couple of weeks if not by the end of the month as i earlier said.

Agreed. I am highly suspicious as well and don't believe there was an early Sprint approved release either.

Still no update on mine yet and I've been checking twice a day. I personally know 4 people who have this phone and NONE of them have the update yet either.
