I am hesitate to update the phone, but do not know how to get rid of the notification. How is the post performance after the update? Would this make it harder to Devs to work on unlocking bootloader?
No noticable difference. Seems like the battery is lasting longer, but this is just taking off the charger at 7am this morning to 1130am right now, and with normal email/text and streaming music, with all on push, I am at 91%.
Oddly, it feels a little snappier. not sure on the bootloader tho. Honestly, I am so dependent on SP, that I have not rooted the S7e or the S6e. Love that feature enough to deal with other cons.

Same here. Use SP almost everywhere.
Battery seems worse for me. Couldn't care less about Samsung pay. It did enable FM radio.

No problems so far, battery seems about the same. You have to download a FM radio app of your choice from the play store to get FM and use your wired headphones for the antenna.
Battery was worse and phone started heating up very quickly after the update. Quick clearing of the cache partition in recovery seems to have done the trick though.
Anyone using the adb mod to enable internal storage and accepted an OTA? Does the update revert the mod or mess up an SD card setup as internal storage in any way?

There is one issue I have found which is I now have to enter pin instead of fingerprint because of security policy. People on Verizon also experienced the same issue.

I am able to unlock screen with fingerprint after update. Qurious thing was if I used a screen off app, I would have to enter the pin to unlock. If the screen times out or if I manually lock the screen with the power button, it will accept my fingerprint to unlock. Fingerprint also working with Samsung Pay.
I just updated but dont see the FM radio app. how do you access it?
Download one from the play store.

Never updating
I took it (without root, I've kind of surrendered and decided to see what a mindless conformist feels like :/). I gotta say, it has dramatically improved battery while inactive. I had misplaced it yesterday morning and when I found it in the late afternoon, it has only used 1% of the battery (at 99%). That's the second time I've noticed it.
I have to enter my pin after a reboot, but my print works fine after the initial entry, same as before the update.

I currently have the wi-fi Note 8.0 and love it. I would like to get the AT&T model but is it rooted yet and does the multi-window option work? Finally is the AT&T note stuff here or is there another area to look for? Hopefully these questions don't sound to dumb.

Rooted Yet - No
MultiWindow - Yes
This is it for AT&T Note 8 LTE SGH-I467
I'm sure that it will be rooted soon. (I Hope). I got one a week ago and love it. I only want root so I can install Titanium Backup. Custom Roms are nice, but I just want to be able to debloat and have a good backup
since this is a question, you should have posted it in Q&A....

I agree, I should have caught that.
The AT&T model is not rooted yet. The multiwindow feature works great. There is no specific forum for the AT&T model so we discuss it here. I highly recommend picking it up if you can. I'm absolutely in love with mine. It'll be even more awesome once they get it upgraded to Android 4.2.
I too purchased the AT&T Note 8. On the morning it became available actually. I too love the Note 8 and highly recommend it. Especially so with the bundle deal that brings the price down to $199.
That said I have found a few issues that are in need of fixing. Firstly, of course, is the ability to root so one can use Titanium Backup to debloat. But also many have found that the screen freezes momentarily randomly. If you want to use it to play games you will be disappointed. Also, every time you power up (boot up) the current version of the software resets all factory defaults so that 3rd. party keyboards for example are deselected and you have to manually select them as default. I personally have also found that the Samsung calendar as well as google calendar doesn't automatically sync with your Samsung and/or your Google accounts, you have to do this manually as well.
these are all reasons that I bought the wifi version; we already have root, there are custom roms/kernels, custom recovery, and since there is wifi almost everywhere, and where there isn't, I can tether to my Note2, I didnt see any reason to give ATT another dime of my $$$$
hope you guys get root/custom recovery soon, because a tweaked, debloated,OC'd Note 8.0 is nothing but fun!

I hear you. However, some of us who were buying new phones anyway the AT&T bundle deal pricing of $199 for the Note 8 as opposed to the $499 retail made sense. Yes, I would liked to have root already but I will live with the wait in light of the initial cost savings. Now when can I get a Note 3???? :laugh:
not sure where you heard the wifi was 499; I got mine for 350 at Best buy, and I think there are places selling at 325...
but yeah, 199 is a nice price....
Note 3 is a ways away, i think!
I'm sure you'll have root soon; maybe send a pm to Chainfire, and see if he is working on it yet...

I also find that Chrome has problems. I don't know if it's a Chrome issue or a ROM issue but Chrome seems to not get click placement right when tapping on the screen, especially when using the pen. You have to tap below a link to get it to actually fire. Very annoying. Even with the brand new Chrome 28 release a day ago, it still does this. I'm using the stock browser until this gets resolved.

Is almost certainly a Chrome issue. Chrome 26 works fine. The problem was introduced in Chrome 27. I'm sure it'll get fixed eventually. In the meantime I'm just using the stock browser. I didn't see it as a big enough issue to do something drastic like taking it back.

Last night's update of Chrome Beta (their second patch for this issue) fixed the problem for me. It will likely be a number of weeks before the patch makes it to the stable Chrome release.

Okay, I thought I was either drunk or crazy. I swore Chrome was registering wrong clicks and it would eventually just stop with the input all together. What a terrible bug - I too was forced to use the stock browser. Glad it's fixed in the latest release. Let's hope that makes it into the Play store sooner rather than later.

Edit: It's taking forever to download.
Same here
5th Try
I have tried to update around 5 times. 2 of which I fully wiped the phone. I keep getting "upgrade failed", and installation interrupted. This is really frustrating...
Someone please save it before applying it and upload for those of us not so lucky to get it...as if there's so many Note Edges out they need to be selective...but thats' ATT
edit: it's downloading for me. I'll try to save it and upload 1.2GB sounds like a full rom not an update. None of my previous phones lollipop updates were this large!
Downloading right now! This makes up for not having root yet for att. Download is real slow though
It is taking over 2 hours to download.....
Downloading it now it is a snail paced download, hopefully fixing some kitkat issues.
I have an Outlook forced device encryption. What are all the "Must do" steps before I can install successfully? I'm sure it will fail based on past experiences. Txs.
Anyone have any idea when the Best Buy Samsung reps will get this update pushed to their system? I bought the regular Note 4 because I wanted Lollipop right away but I had to go to the Samsung kiosk at BB to get the update pushed to my phone. I was there last night at 10pm and they said that it was still listed as KitKat in the system. I'm hoping for something before my 14 days with the Note expires.
Took 4 hours to download.
Runs fast. Has the blocking mode exception. Battery life seems a little worse, for now. Maybe because I'm playing with it too much...

can you upload it im in canada and have the at&t N915A version but might not get the update here. http://cdn4.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon14.gif
Finally!! Took 2hrs to download for me. Been running it for about 4 hrs and it's definitely an improved experience. No lag, I can write using the stylus without the urge to throw my phone at a wall lol.. and it doesn't take a decade to view my recent apps. Its about damn time AT&T!
I wonder if this would be workable on a T-Mobile phone since Roms are usually interchangeable.
Issues so far
To all who have upgraded - Do you also experience the following issues:
Notifications do not show in the "briefing panel" any more
Floatification shows duplicate notifications
the night clock is too bright now due to the thicker font used
when I select an item on the S Planner panel it takes me to yesterday's calendar entries
Notifications on the Lock Screen cover the user information (could become a big deal because I have a message asking to call my wife's number if found)
Apart from that I like Lollipop but I hope the issues above can be resolved somehow.
UPDATE: Some of the issues went away after a couple of restarts I am MUCH happier already!
Thanks!
Second failed attempt here trying to download and install the update from AT&T onto my Edge.
And I have to wait another 24 hours to try again.
Anyone else having an issue trying to get this to install successfully?
Third times a charm, right?

Well, for me the download took about 1.5 hours, the update took about 30 min (including app updates) all went fine, settings seem to have carried over fine. (precautions I took were, left the phone on the charger, kept it on the same stable wifi connection, did not use the device other than checking on status, disabled lock screen pin)

Security update without the most recent security patch even though Verizon says "The current software update gives you the most up to date Android™ security patch on your device.". Lame. They probably found a root exploit and closed it.

But it works fine on opera. I'm going to go in tomorrow, and if it doesn't work in going to keep swapping phones until they figure it out. It's annoying and it seems to be a chrome issue with Adobe and chrome pulling plugs, but idk. I don't think the rep should back away from the issue.

Mine was up around that before the update, then a couple hours after it dropped to 10 to 12. Stayed there the rest of the day. Will be keeping an eye on it tomorrow to see how it is off a full charge.
I noticed that my phone goes into doze mode better. When I would take the phone if the charger at 100% and let it sit I would not enter doze mode. The battery would lose some percentage points instead of staying at 100%. This morning I took the phone if the charging pad at 7am and checked the phone at 8:15 am and it was still at 100%.

Not sure what you mean by "safe" but typically you just use Odin to flash full stock 5.1.1, do a factory reset in stock recovery afterwards and you're done.

Not really the place to discuss it so I'll keep it brief.
My girlfriend has a Nexus 5X. The phone is amazing, updates are quick and common. It operates perfectly on marshmallow with no noticeable issues. We live in bum**** and she still gets service wifi calling and texting is fine, and no contracts. We pay about 42 a month for hers with insurance.
Well one thing I noticed (not sure if it was this update or the last one) is that when you pick an application to use (like browser) it becomes the default. With the old OS it would ask you to use just once or make it the default. Arrgggg I prefer to pick the application as needed and not make it the actual default.

The MM update made this change to default app handling. I liked the old way too. Now if I want to change the default app I have to remember which app was set as default before I can make the change. Sometimes remembering which app was set as default isn't easy to do.
Deleted. Think was in wrong thread.
Been a long time sense I've posted anything in this forum.
I just went back to the Note 4 and did the MM update and have noticed a heavy draw on the battery compared to LP. Am wondering if letting it did cycle through a few time might correct the battery drain. Was on an iPhone for awhile, but for personal reasons came back android. Has anybody tried that yet. Have been temped to hard reset and start fresh to see if it fixes it.
This update has increased the battery draw on mine and it is running HOT! Need help.
So we all know the s20 series has had problems with auto focus especially in the ultra that one was really jacked up. I have the regular galaxy s20 and also have autofocus problems. I have done numerous things to try to make it better I even did a full reset which I normally never do because I would just clear cache and data of said app and it would clear things up. but not this time autofocus was hit or miss for sure and problematic. And for a $1,000 device this Just is not right and don't cut it for me... shoot my old one plus seven pro had better autofocus! and that thing was like 600 bucks. Anyway I am pleased to say that with this new update it is pretty much 100% autofocus is much faster, actually really fast. and 10 out of 10 for me focused instantly. hopefully I don't get in trouble for this if I have to take it down mods just let me know.

Auto update hasn't hit the US. Maybe we'll see it combined with a June security
update soon.
Edit: I see it is hitting T-mobile and other US carriers this morning, but still with May security patch. US unlocked got ATD1 at the beginning of the month, not sure if T-mobile ever got that one, or just skipped straight to ATE6.

Yes t-mobile dropped the update. Just updated mine Friday night May 22nd at 11pm. And I gotta say this update definitely improved on the camera auto focus. And for me it definitely boosted up my battery.

This just came in, installing now, is very fast, the fingerprint is very fast, this update size is 462 mb For the S20 Ultra on T Mobile G988U
Definitely noticing better auto focus after the update.
Now I'm looking forward to Samsung's promised update to allow native gestures to be used on 3rd party launchers. Wish I weren't so anal about small quirks of the gestures that FNG has but the native gestures are the best IMO.
Man, I hate this. I'm on an unlocked s20 ultra and tmobile somehow pushed it out before Samsung does.
Yep def improved some things with this update....things i have found are the auto focus is blazing fast now and seems like fingerprint is a tad quicker....also idk if its me or what but sound seems to have improved coming out of the speakers for sure
After T-Mobile ATE6, my Samsung Keyboard forcloses. Anyone having this issue? I had to use voice command to download GBoard from Playstore because I wasn't able to type anything at all. Matter fact, the keyboard itself doesn't pop up. I've also wiped cache and deleted data through apps. Galaxy store says it's version 5.0.21.0
the blinking light on screen when on a phone call is also gone but the Proximity is working fine.
did anybody check on that?

Do you have a custom theme or something installed?
I had this issue and it was due to hex theme. I recompiled the theme again and it started working fine.

That's exactly what was wrong with it. I did have hex theme installed. Thanks!
Has anyone uploaded the T-Mobile version anywhere?

Type this in adb connected to s20 ultra while on home screen. I use nova launcher and native gesture at the same time. You'll have to do it again if you change the navigation type in settings or if you restart the device.
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural →

Frija has it
This sounds like a game changer.
Hopefully SM-G988U1 users will get it soon!
So I converted my US unlocked to T-Mobile version (never thought I’d ever say that! Lol) and yes, it’s so much better now. Camera snaps to focus very quickly. Night shot seems better also.

If you're talking about the update, the latest U1 is pretty much the same as the latest t-mobile update.

At least for the Ultra, an easy way to know they aren't the same: the current ATD1 software on the unlocked phone doesn't have the new macro prompt. ATD1 has been out for a month, the new improvements in ATE6 just surfaced in the past week. But ATD1 did roll out with the May security update already, I expect unlocked will get the improvements of ATE6 with June security in a week or so.
