Galaxy S4 Software Update Now Available for Sprint Customers
The new software update for the Samsung Galaxy S4 is now available for Sprint customers.
The company rolled it out OTA (over-the-air). It makes some changes to the device including allowing it to move apps to the microSD card. It is 357MB and will not work on Galaxy S4 models that have been rooted. Users who have done so will have to revert back to factory settings in order to install the update or wait until their ROM provider brings these new features to their custom firmware.
The update will also correct a storage problem that was reported by many users. Smart Pause toggle will be added to the notification panel, briefing and SPD clients will make their way to the device, along with a status bar transparency that works with custom wallpapers.
