Any comments on the update?

Anyone know if this OJ1 update is compatible with OH7 root method (coming from OG2 5.0.2)?
TIA

^^^ Hmmm.... It's still just an update to stay within 5.0.2 where I am. To OJ4.

Mine is 223.99 MB

Didn't take a screenshot but mine was 1.2 GB?!
I don't know if that was because Smart Switch included the backed-up data I'd just processed?

I guess that's it till sometime next year then...

Nope, still stuck on 5.0.2 here

I usually play Sims Free Play. I noticed that the UI has become tiny after the update. It's very difficult to play this game after this last update. The game doesn't have any option to increase UI's font. Also, increasing font size on tab s2 display settings does not have any effect on the game ui size.

I was on OH7 unrooted and took the 0J1 update and then used the CF autoroot OH7 method to root. Works fine.

Very bad update.
I've got mine 5 days ago, 240 smth MB's.
T-715 started to freeze if it is ON+connected to charger. Only way to restart or turn it of is to keep pressed PWR+Vol DOWN buttons
Also it is overheating without any reason, and it is restarting randomly at least 1-2 times/day.
It is not rooted, all software is legal/bought via Google Play.
Only way to charge device is to turn it off and than connect it to charger.
Battery life because of overheating - 80+C is reduced to less than 1 day.
Build num: LRX22G.T715XXU1AOI5
Kernel: 3.10.9-5795450
Android: 5.0.2

It looks like you're on the older build which this build fixes (overheating etc.) Suggest you keep checking manually for updates.

Just got my second update for the S2 T715 4G version, the latest one is 140MB.
update: apparently it's still android 5.0.2.

I just got my S2 (T-917T from T-mobile with 5.1.1 AOG8) yesterday and not long after I got home an update popped up. I held off at the time in case it complicated gaining root, but after doing so today I just got the notification again. The build is AOJ3 and... it looks potentially sketchy. Attached is a shot of the update screen, the second point is worrisome (?) "After updating you will not be able to downgrade to the old software because of updates to the security policy." Weak... I've never downgraded firmware, but there are occasionally legit reasons to do so.
Is anyone running this build? Any problems?

Just seems a bit... hypocritical on Samsung and/or the carrier's parts. It's atypical, but sometimes a new build is just a total dud. But it's not unheard of for an "upgrade" to cause things like increased battery usage, excess heat, performance issues, app compatibility, sporadic boot loops. "New" security policy: no flashing back to the build that you were enjoying 2 weeks ago. A new build that addresses these issues will be out "soon".
I'm just really curious about the rational of insisting that you remain on a build that makes you hate your $$$ phone and also what the other mentioned "security policy" changes are baked into the new build because if they further (attempt to) restrict how I'm allowed to use the device that I own... I don't particularly care for that! Also, who knows how long one'll be stranded on a crappy build. It seems that Samsung should be spending their time ensuring that, at least, all of their flagship devices are receiving regular/timely updates rather than adding new policies that are particularly disadvantageous for power users who tend to buy those devices.

Its NOT normal. It has always been possible to downgrade regardless of KNOX with an unlocked bootloader.
So called security updates that state that you will not be able to downgrade are bad, and usually mean one thing a bootloader update. Bootloader updates like this often lead to locked bootloaders, its happened before on Samsung devices. Locked bootloader means, no root, no custom recovery and no roms.
I'd stay away from this update until more is known about it. It may be possible to update without the bootloader.

Yeah I really don't have to many issues either I was just being snide. I do think it burns too much battery while sitting idle with screen off though. I shouldn't be losing 5 to 10 percent battery overnight. Mind you my overnights are 6 to 7 hours usually.

Everyone calm down, it's not in aosp yet

Finally, someone with common sense (and you beat me to it).
ROM's won't appear until it's in AOSP and Dev's re-compile.
for those devices it goes out to, we might see the OTA available if someone captures and upload it to their favorite BB
And then this could lend credence to VZ's hitting stores with 5.1 a week from Thursday (But I still think those would be a 5.0 variant with a open and update to 5.1 myself ...)

New Update on Droid Maxx

I just got this update a few minutes ago. I can't seem to find anyone talking about it. Anyone got any information on changes?
Just the stage fright patch
To me this is kind of a disappointment, considering that the time was taken to produce a security update for an exploit that has been around a while, but the release a new os for the ultra/maxx/mini users that could better the experience and patch the security issues is nowhere in sight. Furthermore with this patch, its very doubtful that we will see L on our devices.

Big disappointment indeed. This is all Verizon has to offer? A patch for the stagefright bug? Wow, I'm impressed. Not!
Yeah, I think at this point droid maxx/ultra/mini users can pretty much forget about getting Lollipop. I mean come on, L has been out for a year and these phones are two years old now. They (the carriers) are not going to waste time,money,and effort on dinosaur phones, especially with Marshmallow out now.
Edit: Just got my "New system software available". Had to go into settings>system update to get the notification. The update is only 2.7 megabytes. Just a bug patch, that's all.
Whoopee! Not!
So if they don't deliver, will maxx users get a kickback like atrix hd owners did when kk wasn't delivered.

Surprising that they are slacking so bad with so many 2013 droid phones that receive the same update with the ultra and mini supposed to get it too and the mini is still being sold at Verizon.

Not so minor, read major BUG fix!
Stock launcher update, no more safe boot crashes while you have more than 200 apps.
For starters...
Look at the zip, many apps updated.
Will because of this I bet we are not gonna see 5.1 on are phones tell next year if at all.
And im also gonna hold off on updating in hopes of a bootloader unlock to install some roms/make my own.

I do not think the boot is touched. Do not suffer bad sw for nothing.
Bought the Maxx at launch and still using it (I'm unlocked/rooted), but have already ordered my Nexus 6P. I'm done with Verizon's inability to update phones, so I'm taking them out of the equation.

The "update" is only 2.7 mb in size. There is not a lot going on with the update. Just the stagefright patch that's all.
Verizon took all this time just to come out with a 2.7 mb update? This sucks bigtime.
I'm looking at getting the Moto X Pure. It is unlocked and can be used on Verizon's network. The bootloader is unlockable through Motorola/Lenovo. I don't want any more of Verizon's locked down phones.

I don't think the Maxx is going to see Lollipop at all.
Also, if there is a bootloader unlock exploit developed, I don't think this minor update will prevent you from using it. That's just my opinion.

You're wrong! Many apps updated to fix long standing bugs. LOOK at the 2 sys app folders before you make ignorant statements. I took it based on the app folder content, it fixed a major bug. I bet it fixes the Bluetooth / Maps / Youtube bug as well.... You assume that vzw passes all the Moto details to us. They do not.
What is the build date on the update? And we are just now getting it.

Guys this is a minor update so if a bootloader unlock method was created then you can downgrade the version back to do the bootloader unlock method its not a Lollipop update just a like a new build update..Only problem is will this break root access if we update????

Finally got OTA .. XT1092 , Indian Model
I got my update to Marshmallow yesterday. Pretty impressed at the speed of this one as Lollipop took forever to arrive!!
The actual update process went very smoothly.
It's made the overall feel of the whole OS a lot nicer and smoother. Definitely feels more polished to me. Also love the unbelievable control of app permissions in this one! They've really ramped up on security here.
Another small but amazingly useful change: the addition of battery percentage!!!! Took them long enough but finally it's here in some form or another!
Everything seems to work quite well without having to reset the phone like I used to have to do when upgrading from other versions of Android.
Not tested battery life just yet but hoping it'll have improved thanks to Doze.
So far I'm very impressed with this one and am actually considering sticking to Android a bit longer as my plan was change my phone for an iPhone 7 when released as was getting really sick of the silly little Android bugs.
Got the OTA yesterday. XT1092.

try using chromium or cm browser no lag at all on those I'm running a Brazilian 1097 twrp backup from last month on my 1095. No lag in the system but terrible with chrome. using those browsers solved my issue.
Chromium is it the same as Chrome Dev?
not only chrome many apps shows lag like instagram whatsapp facebook side scrolling phonograph(too much) .
try chrome dev or chrome beta, the animation stutter on the 3 dot menu bar on top right is not there on the beta and dev version.
also if you turn on moto voice from settings>accesibility, chrome will go berserk and start lagging more and switching it off makes it normal again.i dont know why this is happening, anyhow i already reported this on moto forums

I got the update as well, green battery icon or more distinguished battery icon....also when I hold down the power button to turn it off it now has a battery percentage along eith power off reset and what not, not sure if that is nes or not the added battery life on power hold that is. Wonder what else it was cause it was like 112mb download.

Did we get the same update as T-Mobile? It seems that got performance improvements.

I didn't get any say in whether the update installed or not. It actually woke me up in the middle of the night last night, it downloaded and installed without my interaction. I guess they're making this one mandatory... (well for those of us that didn't freeze the update service.)

+1 with the silly nag screen..... Why nag if there is nothing I can do about it? Store is not open and replacements not available.

February Security Patch (Auto Fix?)

Has Android Auto been patched as promised with the February Security Patch? Has anyone received the OTA?
I guess, they'll release the feb patch on next Mon/Tue.

I don't think so....
not yet. Android auto has been very buggy for me. Random disconnect, several times i have to reboot the phone to get it to recognize the phone. Lately I noticed on the maps if I just keep it up while driving it starts looking weird and distorted so I have to back out of it then back in.
Android Auto has been a mess for a year. When I first used it back in early 2017 on 7.1.1. it was working perfect. Then a few issues with 7.1.2. Now 8.0 and 8.1 its not reliable.

Not yet. Android auto has been unreliable since 7.1.1. I have to reboot to get it to read the phone, random disconnects......my cord is fine. Most recently the maps start getting glitchy and pixelated after 15 minutes and i have to back out and go back in. Just been full of bugs and unreliable in the last 12 months.
Back in early 2017 on 7.1.1. I found it to work quite well, not so much anymore.
The update won't go out until the first Monday of the month.

Did you see me in the oneplus forums? If that is the case, I exchanged my 5t for a pixel 2 because it was to large for me

i did not. It's listed on your signature. That was the only phone I considered other than Pixel 2 however I have CDMA so I cannot use One Plus, but that was the only other Android phone I'd consider if I bought one.
It's probably good I never bought one as they were hacked:

The Pixel isn't perfect, but to me it's better than everything else out there.
Looks like it is out now.

That´s right. Version OPM1.171019.019
New baseband?
The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL include Pixel Visual Core, Google's first custom imaging chip that allows for HDR+ quality pictures in third-party apps like Instagram and Snapchat. But Pixel 2 users haven't been able to take advantage of those capabilities because the co-processor hasn't been enabled. Well, they'll be able to soon because Google announced today that it's turning on Pixel Visual Core, bringing the HDR+ technology that's been available through the Pixel 2's main camera app to other photography, social media or camera apps.
Pixel Visual Core uses computational photography and machine learning to boost image quality in third-party apps that allow users to take photos. Now that it's enabled, Pixel 2 users can just take a pic in another app, and Pixel Visual Core will automatically make it brighter, more detailed and clearer. You can check out a before and after above.
Google says the update that will switch on Pixel Visual Core is rolling out over the next few days along with other software improvements. Additionally, new winter sports-themed AR stickers should be available later this week.

These same issues were being reported in the 2XL forum as well.
