Sprint Jellybean Update - Rollout Begins 10/25!

Im in LA and I got the notification that JB is coming to my phone shortly (in about 2-3 weeks i think)and then I searched online, found someone just go to setting, application manager, all, click on google service framework, clear data, then go to software check now, can got the JB right away.
I gave it a try, after check now, the last check became xx/xx/1969 and I hit the check now again, guess what, I was downloading 37x.xx mb of file and now I have JB in my phone.
I am with sprint and my phone is never rooted or unlocked. some said you might have to do that clear data and then check thing serveral times, but I got mine on the first try and everything went smoothly.
maybe you guys want to give this a try. so far I saw some more features but I don't know how to use them yet, like google now and i heard there's S note lite and stuff, but I can't find it LOL
I did this several times and no luck, I guess I have to wait until it hits my phone OTA.

Worked for me too. No root. I cleared checked twice and nothing. Then the update popped up!

So, I downloaded and installed the JB update as described in an earlier post.

Now....how the heck do I find and use Google Now ???

Anyone know how to set it up and where the settings are? I can't find anything.

just initiate a search and a card should pop up with search box and mike to speak instead. once up there are settings via the card. however, i just downloaded JB for my wife's LG Viper and there's no NOW??? very strange.

:dancing2:Finally received my JB 4.1.1 update OTA around 8:15 a.m. in Cali from Sprint. So much for that Nov. 16th date folks were talking about. I suppose there is still hope for Sprint users who have yet to receive it.

It only took 2-3 min. for the upgrade and I don't have any wi-fi.

I've been checking out the differences and the thing that amazes me the most is how much quicker and snappier everything works. To me, it's like having 4G even though I don't have it. Sprint is disgustingly slow at putting it in my area that is well over 600,000+ in population. Go figure.... :turtle:
