I just received my refurbished marquee from Ting yesterday. I was just wondering if I should go ahead and accept the OTA update or not..
It is Sprint branded, and has software version LS855ZV9. I'm thinking of rooting it, and have heard the new version doesn't root well. So I guess my question is, do I gain anything by updating it? I understand that it can be "rolled back" during rooting, so it might not be all that important.
I still haven't activated it, but charged it and played with it over wireless last night. It went down to almost 75% remaining battery as I was playing, so I was hoping that I didn't have one of those that went through battery in such a short time, but this morning I see that it still didn't lose much (it's at 65% now)
Anyway, I think turning down screen brightness helped and I'll do some of the other tweaks I've seen for improving battery performance.
Thanks for any advice, I'm looking forward to using this, after my number gets ported.
