This is probably an april fools joke lol otherwise there could have been a screenshot involved

No April fools joke, I got it too. Only minor bug fixes so not worth going crazy about.

Do a wipe and if your phone battery still suck, I say it is your battery issue. I have all type of syncing apps on my phone and I still get a good two day of usage.

The PB8 update has been around for around 2 weeks.

Not upgrading in case root comes

This is a newer update that seems to be rolling out. I had the previous update 2 weeks ago and has been fine.
Edit I take it back. It's the older update. Weird I swore I did that one already

Well that brightness slider would be a GREAT addition in my opinion. I also wouldn't mind if the fixed the standby battery draw reporting glitch. Also, they could ACTUALLY fix the standby battery draw so the phone doesn't suck it self dry through the day from standby.
Oh yeah, the desktop background doesn't scroll when you flip screens. Don't know if that's a glitch, but it's just stupid and should be changed.
Another thing, the phone seems to just drop reception randomly even though it's in a fully covered area. This constant drop and pick up is suuuuuper annoying when you're surfing the web or using some messenger app. Also is a battery killer as well.
Improvements can always be made. It's nice to get the updates and nice to know samsung/att cares about our experience. (For sure ATT doesn't give two ****s so I hope Samsung can persuade)

Not sure if serious...
This phone's wireless/data radio are a complete pos. WiFi drops constantly, and it's just weak. I can't even believe how weak the signal is. You guys are worried about brightness...lol .
I've personally have had an issue where callers from my contacts list show up as Unknown. My Dad, with the same GS3, called me and asked if I was having this issue as he had been noticing it as well. Also, some others on xda have reported the same or similar issues.
I called and talked to a rep at tmo and was told that it was a known issue being worked on by tmo and sammy. Not sure when (or if) this will be fixed, but I'm hopeful.

There is hope of receiving 6.0 on the Note 4!

Seems T-mobile is showing Samsung is working on the update for t-mobile version.
https://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones-tablets-devices/software-updates#tmoSUPDocTitle
So could there be a sprint version being worked on? :fingers-crossed:
That would be awesome
I don't remember where, but I had seen Samsung stating which devices they're updating to Marshmallow, I wouldn't worry about it.
This device is barely a year old..
I'd worry when the 2 year mark comes around.

Marshmallow has Doze. People are reporting that they only lose 5% battery when they set down their phone unplugged overnight.
That's funny, because when I set down my phone unplugged, it gains battery charge. In fact, overnight, it goes all the way to 100%.
huh?

I'm sure we'll see some AOSP roms running 6.0 in the future, I just wouldn't count on any TW roms.
Here's the list of devices will receive an upgrade..
http://m.gsmarena.com/the_big_android_60_marshmallow_update_list-news-14514.php
It's good to see the S5 on that list. It was rumored earlier to not be getting it. That just didn't sound right or fair.
Hey, our Note 8 tablets here got a stagefright patch among other fixes and tweaks via OTA over the existing KitKat.
Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk
not to worry, or even question. this community will grab 6.0 once avail and in no time we'll have our pick of custom roms
So far Verizon and t-mobile are the only note 4s confirmed to be being worked on. Until we actually see an rdf pop up I wouldn't get your hopes up. Other devices are already updating and besides that our note 4 is eol at this point so it doesn't even really matter whether or not it gets updated to begin with. I truly hope so but with no rdf out yet the chance does not look good.

Is anyone else getting a notification for a new update?

I just got an notification for a new update. I already got the update from T-Mobile a few days ago. I'm assuming this is a new one.
I did a factory reset two days ago but I believe the system updates stay on there even after a factory reset.
I'm just wondering if this is something new? The update is from Samsung and it says "Critical System update"
Nope. Nothing here.
Nope nothing here either

Battery life is absolute amazing in this update. It's been installed for 10 minutes and I'm already going on 6hrs sot. ?

Maybe when I cleared the cache and did a system restore, it removed the update. Either way I'm afraid to install it since I'm finally getting good battery life.

With all of these potential problems I am not even going to think about getting rid of my old 6t until I fully test the 8 Pro on Monday when it gets here.
The number of issues being reported is alarming for a cheap 500 dollar phone, let alone one that costs this much.

Always problems with all electronics when they first roll out. Most are solved with a reset and/or software updates. That being said, my 8 Pro is perfect so far

True. OP phones always have problems at release. The 7Pros camera was awful when released and they released software updates for it and it became good, it also had bad touch lag and then it was fixed. Same for Pixel phones.
Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk
I dunno mine seems fine
I have actually opened a thread on a similiar topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8-pro/help/keyboard-qhd-120hz-t4086553
For me it lag is only apparent on QHD resolution. So try to do FHD and see if it is still there.
Tried all resolutions and combjnations, it still occurs. Sometimes its gone after a reboot, Sometimes its Not.
Factory reset did Not help. Next step is to try with previous oos built.
Since the problem is still there, I RMAed now at Amazon. Tomorrow the New one arrives
OP have just contacted me through the community by PM to ask for details about it as I posted on the community. I'm not sure how it can be a hardware fault, more likely its a software issue unless it's related to the green screen problem.

Yup, they just asked since when the problem exists and sent a New one. I'll return my one after the New one arrived. No problems.
