While waiting for Big Red to push the OTA 4.3 update to their Samsung GS3 customers, I read somewhere that clearing the cache + data + selecting Force Stop in the Google Services Framework app [settings>applications manager>all] before checking the device software update status [settings>about phone>software update>check new] would force available OTA updates to the device; however, after repeated attempts, I've been unsuccessful achieving that objective. In fact, after doing all that AND removing both the battery + sim card for 30-60 seconds, the date/time stamp in the update status continues to read the most recent status check.
Though I've seen several claims of success doing this on different devices, has anyone else in the VZW Community tried this and has gotten a successful 'force update' on their GS3?
No, that will not force an update, especially one that does not exist.
