Special edition S5 - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Will Samsung be releasing a premium version of the s5

That's the rumor. Although, as we've all seen, rumors surrounding the S5 don't exactly seem to pan out so well.

No one knows

yeah, right now nothing is confirmed. just a rumour.

i kinda feel the same way. But you never know with Samsung. they release a lot of phones. If they do release an upgraded version a few months after releasing the S5 ……they will alienate all the people that bought the first S5. That would be a PR nightmare to them…...

Yes. I already have a whole thread on this. But looks like Samsung is waiting for HTC and LG to release their new devices, then release the Galaxy "F" series. Sometime around May.

I'm thinking Samsung is the kind of company that will wait till it got its projected profits on the s5 and later, say July/august, it may announce this so called metal/premium version..what else can explain all of the rumors and hype

Samsung has to say that there will be an update, otherwise no one will buy it. Thankfully we have devs who actually care about making the most out of the product. I'm not hating on Samsung. Every OEM does it.

Manufacturers usually don't announce something and take it away. If they don't want to offer something or aren't sure they just say it's "under consideration." For months sometimes. In addition the U.S. carriers have all published a list of Samsung devices to be updated and all the G-Tabs other than the original 7" are on it. If Samsung was just kidding I'd doubt they'd take the U.S. carriers down with them.

Don't know about you but my tab came with Homeycomb version 3.0 and has updated twice to version 3.2 now. On top of that I was online with Samsung and was told ICS will be available for the 10.1 with in the month.
Let's see if they are correct.

So true. I've had the same experience with different manufacturers, and they are pretty much the same, depending on which device you choose. As soon as they have new products on the market, they tend to put other products on the backburner. Sad but true. Only thing you can do to create a difference, is complaining to the manufacturers again and again, and not on forums.. that want do nothing for nobody..
Still put my two cents in Samsung.. so we can get a working camera

Dont forget you will have to UNROOT to get the OTA when it is released

If only it would please them to stop competing with LG for the Delayed Update Award, we'd be in business.
What freaks me out is we still havent seen a single leak.. while its by far the most popular 1st gen Android tablet.
The only reason I see for this is "a" build exists, it isnt being tested anywhere but in Samsung very own labs;
Not a single carrier or anything close to it has yet got to test it on its network. =(
I dont see it poping up on my tab overnight even if Bell says I should be hopefull. This is going to be a long summer.
Guys, you'll get your update, the TAB 10.1 is a popular device and all the 2011 line got the update or is getting it...
See my situation :
- My Tab 10.1v wil NEVER get updated.
- My EU Atrix will probably NEVER get updated while the US will get the update...late 2012.
- My wife's Ray got the update : it's filled with bugs, features that are not activated (auto light, auto flash) and it's super slow although the device is barely less powerful than the Nexus S.
So shut up, spoiled kids...
I hope Samsung will not act like Motorola.

That would put them well over 2 months late. When they first announced it they said 1Q which would of been March. Now I feel they are sitting on the update until the tab 10.1 v 2 has had some time to sell. They are basically the exact same hardware.

I talked to Samsung this morning via online chat. I asked at the end of my question what the status was on the ICS update. They said that the engineers were finalizing the update and should roll out soon!

OK Samsung, W8 is out and taking buyers, time for JB OTA - now!

JB for the Note II has been out for a while now. Note II specs are remarkably similar to SGN10.1 specs. JB with Note II multitasking competes well with W8. The current configuration not so much.
So, open letter to Samsung. Time to push out the JB OTA now! You are going to start losing SGN10.1 users to W8 devices. Get your act together and OTA us dammit. This is a new device. We should NOT be made to wait like this. Pisses us off and just bad business for you.
And if you are delaying us just so your W8 devices can get a foothold you are going to have some unhappy early adopters on your hands.
Get it done.
P.S., This post will solve nothing but It felt good to vent.

What concerns me is that we aren't even seeing any new test builds of the JB OTA with all the Note II goodies in them. You would think they would throw a few test builds out before the actual OTA release. Nothing on Sammy at all.
This makes me think we aren't even close.
just an fyi, but us americans aren't seeing some of the note 2 goodies on the note 2 yet. gotta wait on an update - no multiview is one.

We paid the price for the ICS and it has been updated anything else is just yet to come when Samsung thinks it's ready and or the right time for them.
Yes, it's always a good idea to try to put pressure on a company to release software they don't think is ready. I mean, we all know they develop things and just wait and wait for no reason before releasing.

Is this all apps or specific apps, if not, hope samsung releases whatever needs releasing to help third party app devs implement this feature on tw
Maybe we should start flooding their facebook site on the JB update.
sadly, i would bet 8/10 people have zero idea what operating version of android is running on the note currently out of the population that has it now. the general public is completely clueless when it
comes to android.

I wouldn't expect JB out anytime soon, with 4.2 out last night Samsung probably has to start with the OS base all over again but if they had gotten to the apps then at least those are a quick copy paste but with less devs working on the S3 and Note 2 version as it is practically out we will probably see the update coming through in December late November unless they give us 4.1 and we wait for 4.2.

My first generation note have come through allot of updates (2.3.3/ 2.3.6/4.0.3 /4.04 /4.04 with s3 touch wizard / and finally 4.11 jelly bean with full note 2 software features) I hope we will be treated the same way they treated the original note in terms of updates

s4 outdated in 2 months...

aren't you guys afraid the s4 will get outdated once KLP gets pushed in may? judging by how slow sammy, htc and all these companies are in pushing the updates, I personally am afraid it will take months for us to get KLP. opinions?

Didn't stop people buying the s2 when that came out with gingerbread and Ics was looming.
There's always an update looming that's called life get used to it or buy a nexus.
The only ones who truly care are the nexus guys and the ones in the forums posting loads of new threads just to say "I WANT MY UPDATE AND I WANT IT NOW OR SO HELP ME I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SAMSUNG AGAIN" which is stupid because they end up buying there next flagship device

it is not true that only the nexus guys care about because when you expect an update even devs hold back because they say that it wont be worth spending time on deving for a firmware that will get old very soon. but if you pay $700 for a phone i do not think you like to hear that you gotta wait months to have a major upgrade like KLP.

It's always a problem, and will remain so. Expect to get the update in 6 months.
Personally I think samsung is quite good at updating their devices. I mean, their 2011 flagship the S2 is going to get the 4.2.2 update. They won't abandon S4 as soon as that. Hopefully, S4 will continue getting updates for at least a couple major versions.

That's the price you pay for not having a nexus and I didn't say that others don't care I said nexus guys care and others post loads of threads about when the updates coming to there phone.
So your expecting something that took several months for Google to make for the nexus and when its released these manufactures have to rewrite their code into the new update and for several phones how fast do you really expect that to happen

lol nah we dont have to all get nexus. i think this time is a little different from the past, since s3 and s4 are pretty much similar(at least for the mainstream user) and KLP seems like a bigger update than the ones google usually pushes. it is true that tons of people bought the s2 while still having to wait foe ics but the s2 i think was a bigger upgrade compared to the s1 vs the s4 not being that much of an upgrade compared to the s3

Its the same with all types of technology... PC's, Cars, fridges, TVs, washing machines, i think the only thing that hasnt changed in 30 years is Toilets.... (cept some crazy japanese ones...)
It comes totally down to personal preference, affordability, and need vs desire for when people choose to upgrade.
I have a friend who is still using the ORIGINAL IPHONE 1.... as he has no need for upgrades and as such hasnt... it does what he needs and thats that. Me on the other hand, ive had my S1 and S2 skipped the S3 becoz Dorrimanx kernel for the S2 has brought it sustained life for a long period of time. So i am now ready for an upgrade, S4 is definitely my cup of tea... (so to speak)
Following Samsung's trend,
The Samsung GALAXY S 4 will get Android Key Lime Pie probably in November (6 months after May)
The Samsung GALAXY S 3 definitely even later, possibly even early next year.
The question is are you willing to wait?

Anyway, our tablet getting 4.3 makes sense since Samsung wants more of their devices to be compatible with their Galaxy Gear. kcrudup said in a thread I made yesterday that our tablet already has Trim, so I'm not sure what significant benefits we really get from 4.3.

I cant believe how laggy Samsung has been with the updates already. My wife's Note 2, still 4.1, my note 10.1, 4.1. My T-Mobile S4 still has the old 4.2 without aps2sd, that every other major network player got months ago. Just ridiculous. Ive since sold my S4, but with Samsung missing entire versions of updates on their hardware, I have to rethink purchasing from them again.

My opinion is that Samsung is the best OEM for updating its phones. Still no where near the Nexus(not even close) far cry better than let's say HTC. Kinda sucks the note 2 still on 4.1.2 but we are said to get 4.3 and I bet you we will get 4.4 and maybe even 4.5/5.0.
My opinion is the note features out weight 4.3. My biggest complaint is that touchwiz looks ugly compared to the s4 which IMO looks awesome. Oh well gotta love the spen. If Nexus were to make a wacom note sized tablet and added support for spen like stylus be all over it. Doubt it though unless Google and Samsung make Google edition note 3. Then again it would probably be 750+ unsubsidized lol

Not so much this time. The HTC One on Sprint and AT&T already got 4.3, and HTC has officially announced that T-Mobile will get it this week.
my guess is december or next year even.
S4 has just received the official 4.3 update today and S3 will be the next in line.. the note2 is expected to get it by December so the note 10.1 will probably get it at the same time or after..

The Google Edition Note 3 is coming on Verizon. It is already on Samsung's site.
The Now 10.1 really should get the update sooner than December. Especially the WiFi edition. It's probably coming pretty soon. Sooner than we expect it.

Gear wont work until we have 4.3 inside our devices. I quess I will wait a week or two and if there is no news about 10.1 and Android 4.3, then I get Sonys Smartwatch2. Samsung should know that we of all need that update as soon as possible to get Gear working. We are keeping our Notes in bags!!! Why the hell Samsung is thinking that people who wear their phones in pockets need so badly Gear that Samsung updates their devices before our huge Notes?? Ridiculous!

Ok first off, those articles are from March and July, before the real name and version of the next release was announced. Second, just because Samsung said that back then, does not mean the official announcement hasn't changed things. I for one could care less. I love my tablet, with or without 4.3 and beyond. On my phone, different story, but I can still wait. Last time I got excited for an update was my atrix 4g and 3 days before Motorola had confirmed it would happen, they changed their mind and cancelled it. So I take news of updates with a grain of salt and a "if it happens, great, if not oh well" attitude.

When can we expect Lollipop (Android 5) for Note 4?

How long usually it takes Samsung to adopt the new Android version?

in my experience, it could be months. As in Q2 2015
Knowing Samsung it might not be till end of summer 2015 (if you are lucky).
Hrrr

There have already been two preview builds for the S5, both shown by Sammobile on YouTube. Which means they are working on it and they're almost there. I would expect an update closer to the end of the year or at the beginning of the next.

Meanwhile, the good people at LG are releasing Lollipop for the LG G3 this week. Samsung is always way too slow with updates, for no acceptable reason.

Android in G3 is not so heavily modified than in Samsung phones. Maybe that's the reason.

I don't see any word of LG supporting what you say.

Enough proof for you?
I am pretty confident/optimistic that we will have the update during Nov-Dec, 1-2 months from now
So far we have seen 2 leaks of Lollipop for S5, 1 leak of S4, so imagine at what level the newest flagship of Samsung is
Even more, all companies are promoting fiercely their update plans, so Samsung should be at least worried and thus speed up their game.
Lastly, last year we had the same case as with Note 3, it was released with 4.3 Jellybean and it received the 4.4 Kitkat update in early January.
The best news relateed to this is that Chainfire was able to root Lollipop on the Nexus 9. It is encouraging that if you have an unlocked bootloader, it seems likely that there will be root for Android 5.

Yes, thanks
According to this article it's late November early December.

But I wouldn't hold my breath.
As I mentioned, don't expect anything before a few months. I estimate q2 2015 but this article seems to say February 2015

Are you joking? There are builds for the S5 and the S4, the latter being almost 2 years old now! There is no way the the Note 4 will get an update in "Q2 2015". And the article you linked to has no substantial evidence or insight. On the other hand, we know Note 3 was released with 4.3 and got an update to 4.4 in January, so it's not far fetched to think the Note 4 will be treated the same way.

I hope you are right, but I highly doubt we will get it before end of Q1-2015. Yes there are builds for many phones, but Samsung tends to take their sweet time coming up with a final draft. I suffered plenty with the Note 2 and Note 3 (still on 4.4.2 until now). Maybe the fact that almost every manufacturer other than samsung will have Lollipop before end of the month might make Samsung move faster (but I doubt it, because they know that most of their end users aren't on XDA and don't know lollipop from lollygag).
What's really funny -and to be frank, quite sad- is how we use words like "suffer" when we explain how we feel about waiting for an update. It's a phone. Save your capacity to suffer for things that actually matter.
Maybe Samsung will see this and we'll get the update this week........or in Q4 15[emoji13]
