AT&T Release Date?!

Has anyone heard of rumors of AT&T getting it anytime soon...

There's actually rumors that sgs2 will never be released in US.
Thr only rumors I heard were several months ago that it'd be released in March. Then beginning of June... then it went completely silent.
I just went and bought an unlocked, pure Samsung SGS2 for $675 shipped (free nextday delivery from Hong Kong). Couldn't be happier right now =)
I suggest if you have the budget for it, don't wait for a gimped ATT version and get the real thing.

There are quite a few threads running where the source of that info has been discredited. There have been pics of the Sprint version in the wild and the 2.3.4 leak has AT&T's LTE APNs and PNGs of their LTE logo it in it. So it's definitely coming to the U.S., the question is when?

It is supposed to launch Q3, so July, August, or September probably. I would say end of August or September, but that's my guess.
If it is launching with LTE as was suggested on this board, then it will be released sometime when att officially announces its LTE network in 5 cities at the end of this summer.
I think Sprint will be the first to get it as we have leaked pictures of the Sprint version already.

Haha ubfortunately my pockets arent that steep if not i woild.had already bought it...

If the sgs2 was released in the u.s. With the current phone offerings it would destroy other oem's. To include apple. I bet that's why they dumbed it down and released the infuse.

it's launch in PUerto Rico USA Territory in Claro PR about a month ago

Sigh we may never get it soon or it will suddenly appear.

Is there a conspiracy afoot.

Nexus Prime sounds good if they make it lol

Android Community is reporting that Samsung has said that the phone will be in the US in August. Of course no dates or what carriers.

Well it's not VZW since their version hasn't been through the FCC. So it's either Sprint because their's was spotted or AT&T's because LTE code for it is in 2.3.4. Based on volume, especially corporate accounts, AT&T would be Samsung's more important customer. But if AT&T's trying to tie it to the launch of their LTE network that could be later than August. Anyone want to start a pool?

Shortest Update Support of ANY of the Moto Line

Well this is a bit of disappointment...

I'm not jumping into a rage just yet. I have a feeling that they may do some of the carriers. Their new business model logically dictates that they should do their unlocked carrier free versions first. That's just good business on their part. I sure as hell do not trust Lenovo though. I guess I'll stay tuned.

Well Lenovo's "fine print" did say "1" upgrade...which we got from 5.0.2 to 5.1...I'm assuming a third gen is coming that's keeping in line with their new hardware design (G and X). But I'm not overly concerned most devices at this price point never see any official support of any kind after release.

The Indian variant didn't even get the 5.1 update

I'd be pretty annoyed if I bought the E 2nd gen when it first came out for the unlocked retail price of $150.

There is no reason what-so-ever to not give the retail (non-carier) models the update to 6.
If Moto were to give some carriers to update, they should/could have listed it.
That's based on the Moto X 2014; they listed the retail units but not the carrier versions.

I just got the Update to 5.02 not to 5.1

6.0.0 r1 was pushed to AOSP yesterday. hyped[emoji16]

Working on it for moto G 2015 but will be easy to make it work for Moto E 2015. Already have a bootish version for Osprey

Already !? COOOOLLL...

For those interested, in regards to Motorola's failure to meet update commitments. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/general/motorola-failure-to-meet-update-t3237398.

yeah sign that petition guys.
I never got 5.1 on my Telus Moto-E which is pretty lame.
I have been preparing to update to it but i am scared to flash my phone LOL
I plan on using a custom kernel (Squid's) with the stock 5.1 rom (rooted)
So it would have been nice if Telus here in Canada gave us the update..
Would make things less risky for me.

Where in the world is the Verizon 5.1.1 update?

Seriously, why so long? This seems absurd even for Verizon.

Yes. Sprint got it a month ago.

I was thinking that it was taking abnormally long too, but since AT&T and T-Mo haven't gotten it yet, it makes me wonder. Especially since part of T Mobile's Note 4s have it and the others don't. (The ones with a different model number have them, but the original model numbers don't.)
Perhaps they are fine tuning stuff for the Qualcomm models and used Sprint as a guinea pig since Sprint barely has any subscribers anymore, it probably makes a great lab rat!

It is quite possible they are just going straight to Marshmellow. T-Mobile announced 6.0 update soon, perhaps AT&T and Verizon are doing the same.

I don't think so! I believe that we won't get 6.0 update in 2015. It's most likely that US carriers (VZW, ATT, TMB, and USC) will follow the international variants and push 5.1.1 update in 2015 (probably, it's due in October) and wait too long for the next big thing (M) sometime in 2016, after releasing it for the 2015 flagships (S6 and its family) in the next few months. However, I hope you're right.

Verizon always seems to be last and not fair to the older phones in the cue. To me we paid out our cash way before the S6 owners , no offense. I think the S4 will be the cut off so, why not be fair and start from that. Verizon, at least on the phone and in the stores, always bring up loyalty, show it!
But I wonder if it has anything to do that Verizon is a CDMA system

Leaks seem to be a thing of the past...rarely see them anymore. The 2 new nexus devices won't ship for another 3-4 weeks and that is more or less the official unveiling of 6.0, even though other Nexus devices are getting updates starting now. Then about a month after that you will see other devices getting updated. Samsung has to incorporate TW, HTC has to incorporate Sense 7, LG - LG Home, so those will take a little longer.

I read some carriers in Canada are receiving 5.1.1 on Note 4 via OTA.

AT&T got it today. I'm guessing T-Mobile will be next and We'll get it in January.

June Security Update?

Is it me or does it seem like T-Mobile/Samsung is taking along time in getting June's update to us? I hope its not the start of us being out of date for months and months. I'm assuming its T-Mobile as Samsung has been sending out the updates and even most of the flagships on Verizon have gotten it. Just curious if any one feels like this too.

I was thinking the same the past days

We got the June security update last month. Remember?

We will see haha I don't think they would know but being it's the end of the month it's a possibility.

Yeah I hope they do being that it's the 26th. Anyway he said the chance is high because he was reading AT&T got the update. From what I've seen they are usually the last to update phones. So fingers crossed we'll have it.

Maybe they have been too busy with the tuesdays app going down to approve any updates haha??

Haha probably so, I've been thinking that it may be part of it. It's really nice they offer rewards to their customers, but you think they would have been more prepared for alot of people using the app I mean it's free stuff lol.

If they follow their pattern of the previous updates, the update will most likely be the July security patch(and more hopefully ).

Oh well ill be leaving on a long vacation in a few days and I'll be out of cell range so perhaps a surprise will be waiting for me come mid july.

It's not out yet. I will call today and see what they say. After months of security updates and nothing this month. Maybe they are getting us the camera update that we never got. I hope so. I do not like this, i should have gotten one unlocked.

Their other phones aren't faring well either. I think the HTC 10 is still on March update. ?

It seems more likely we will go right to July by now I'm sure it's already been given to samsung and to carriers for testing. Just think how hard it's gonna be waiting for Android "N" Come the end of this year, start of next year.

I just called. There is no update planned for June or July. Or August. So I guess hope for Android N early.

Tmobile reps would never know that. Stop relying on them they go off the same info we use. They won't know until the day it goes live just like us. The approval process is handled by tmobile and samsungs servers send it out for download once someone okays it, but I assure you it isn't Rick in customer service that knows when that happens. Lol

I just got the US unlocked version today: same exact hardware. Just no carrier apps or bloat. I have no intention of rooting as it will break Samsung and Android pay which I use.

Thanks..

I can report voLTE and wifi-calling work with the unlocked version on T-Mobile. Like the previous poster stated, there is no bloat or carrier apps. Tethering works out of the box.

Do you notice any improvement in multitasking or overall system speed? I'm trying to determine how much of a difference bloat is making in my overall experience.

I don't have a carrier version to compare it to but so far the phone is pretty snappy. I haven't had any issues with ram management or slow downs.
Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk

Interesting my new unlocked US version is still on May security updates while all carrier versions are on July update. Not a good sign if Samsung is prioritizing carrier versions and ignoring the unlocked version.

Same here May security date. With the phone just launching I'm guessing they will go straight to the July update, bringing it up to the carrier versions.

Yes, and that is what I am worrying about. Remember the Samsung Galaxy S4 Dev Edition? There was not ONE single update.
I hope this phone doesn't fall into the same camp. I have a 30 day return period w/ BH Photo so if there are no updates by Aug 1, it will be returned. I already initiated the RMA process to be on the safe side and have my form should I need it.

Nice good strategy, my 14 day return window in best buy will be the coming weekend. I think I'll just keep and see how it goes. If they aren't updating I'm going to sell this when next Nexus comes anyway and probably will not bother with unbranded versions of Samsung phones.

Can you screenshot the info page so that I can see the build number?

Anyone know if there is VoLTE on at&t with the unlocked version? This is a deal breaker for me. Not really worried about video or wifi calling.
