Had Sprint pulled software version 3.30.651.2? topic

I recently had problems sending texts and making calls on my HTC One M8 running stock, so Sprint decided to send me a replacement (refurbished). I've gotten this replacement restored, but I haven't been able to get the latest update (software version 3.30.651.2). I'm still running OS 4.4.3, and my previous phone was showing 4.4.4. I tried and tried to get it to update, to no avail. Now I'm beginning to wonder if the update was what was causing my problems with texts and calls?

Tuesday night I spent over four hours with HTC Support, trying to get the update manually loaded. Still unable to do this, so I took into a local Sprint repair center. After talking to the technicial, he recommended I not install this update, due to numerous problems they were seeing with it. In fact, he said that it may be that Sprint actually pulled the update due to this. Has anyone heard that? That would certainly save a lot of people from going through all the hassles I had to endure. I'm thinking they may not want to admit they had to pull it, because it would be an admission that they released an updated that caused harm to customers' phones.

Finally Pulled The Trigger! topic

So after months of waiting, when it was released on Monday I couldn't help but feel hesitant about picking one up, lol I'm not sure if it was justifying the money for a piece of plastic or the idea of it coming out was more exciting than actually buying it, for me the main seller is the cinema, I'm a huge movie buff and watch movies a lot before bed on my Note 10.1 2014 or Note 4 (If too lazy to grab my tablet) so this is right up my ally, i hope. The other sell is the Harmonix music player, I'm hoping its included because I haven't heard anyone talk about it since launch, I'm hoping they just forgot and it doesn't mean that it sucks or isn't included, being able to lay back on the couch and basically meditate and vibe out with immersive visuals to my favorite music sounds pretty awesome. Lets hope. Honestly those reasons and the fact I specifically opted for the Note 4 over the Note Edge in anticipation for the VR kind of pushed the sale, Otherwise getting the Note 4 would have been in vain lol.

Honestly I'm pretty excited to get it now that its ordered, needless to say I sprang for the Next Day shipping from Samsung because of my hesitation to grab one early in the week, and I wanted to get it to play with over the weekend, so It SHOULD be sitting on my doorstep ready to rock when I get home from work tomorrow.

Questions to the people who already have one in their hands:

Any tips or tricks I should know before getting this tomorrow?

Any cool features I need to know about?

Is the included content easy to run through within a day and does any of it have playback value? (I.E. The ocean, concerts, Iceland etc.)

Loading your own Movies from SD, simple?

Overheating?

Battery Life?

Worth the money?

Gaming?

Current Content & Does it seem like future content will be coming pretty regular?

Is there a content store or just what's on the Included SD card?

Etc.


Any and all thoughts appreciated, I've been reading the threads people have posted who have already picked one up and it's helped me find some validation in grabbing one.

Thanks Guys, Pretty jazzed up due to the wait and the reviews I've been reading and watching, but nervous I just dipped into the savings (especially during the already expensive Christmas time) to buy a tchotchke lol I mean I'm no stranger to Early adopting, especially with Samsung but you never know what you are in for!

Again thanks for any help!
