Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition Android 4.3 OTA rolling out now.

[Medion]

Google has begun pushing out the OTA for the S4 and One GPE models as of last night. This is 9 days after announcement and at a time when most Nexus owners still have not received the update. That is pretty much a simultaneous push.

I've heard of a few changes for our model. Confirmed changes include;

Settings background now has stock gradient instead of flat black. I preferred the black for oled battery savings.

Bluetooth data tethering has been enabled.

Icon size slightly increased for shortcuts on the home screen.

I will report back when I get my update. Looking forward to seeing if they fixed the LTE reset issue.

It has been verified and acknowledged by Google.

Anyway, got my update notification by testing Google Play Services a few times. Says Wi-Fi only, so I'll head on downstairs to Starbucks and leach in a bit. I'm working overtime today.

It is a logic error in a phone setting. It disabled LTE regardless of carrier. If you do not get the 4.3 update right away, just follow the advice in the thread that I linked.

Amyway, I can confirm that in addition to the changes in the first post, I have observed the following in the 4.3 update;

LTE bug is fixed
When hitting the menu button on the home screen there is a new option for Help under system settings.
