There will be no Lollipop for US carriers until months after the international phones get it. There is a lot of back and forth between carriers and Samsung...this has always been the case and always will be. Whenever you see talks of a model getting an OS update and release date, it is ALWAYS the international version and then you may see "speculation" as to when "some" of the US carriers will start rolling it out.

No. They are still on 4.4.2. Most others are 4.4.4.

I'm not talking about the 4.4.4 update, I'm talking other updates, 4.3, and I think the update that fixed moving apps to the SD card.
Plus, the 4.4.4 update is kind of pointless for the S4 right? Didn't Samsung make all the fixes in that update in the 4.4.2 update?

Awesome update, thanks for posting!

That is not correct. The international S4 got 4.3 2 weeks before Verizon and the only reason 4.3 was rushed to all devices was because it added Galaxy Gear compatibility. Sammy and US carriers wanted to make sure everyone bought phone and watch combos for the holidays. Verizon was the first US carrier to release... And I am sure all for monetary reasons. They had to release bug fixes soon after.

As of yesterday my lag free hangouts are now back to being laggy, not as bad but it's there again back to textra I go.

Receiving this update now, its automatic and I can't seem to stop it easily.
I'll report what I find. I unrooted and went default yesterday, on retail 6.0.1. Gonna sell my note and get Google Fi soon.

Can you try to downgrade after you update and see if it'll downgrade? Thanks. Its ok if you're not interested in all that hassle.

Nothing visible has changed, no new apps. No new settings. June 1st security patch which may be different. I'll maybe try to downgrade tomorrow.

I already checked it. Downgrade safe.

I haven't found a tutorial on downgrading to 5.1.1 from 6.0.1. Is there a safe way to do it?

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.

I'm guessing its just a June security patch.
I'm impressed Verizon is actually trying to keep up with the security updates on this device. BUT, i dont think they have a choice because this device is probably more used then the Note5 .

Anyone tried this update while being rooted?

Seems to have fixed some lag, heat , and battery drain issues I was having. Auto brightness is still borked. Still have to turn the brightness down manually in a dark room, and up to max outside.

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews of Google Fi. Which phone are you going to go with? I've thought about replacing my Note 4 DE with the Moto X Pure when they run it on sale again (was $319 a few days ago). But the Droid Z Force also looks nice.

Made my battery worse! A little less lag though....so got that goin for me!!! Lol

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.

Sprint S7 Edge Android 7 download available

So, here in KC, I was curious to see if an update was available for my Sprint S7 Edge to 7.0 and its installing now. No notification or announcement (or I am oblivious to the obvious) from Sprint and my phone is set only to check manually, once I selected to check it came up with a 1628MB download. Mods, please delete if this is in the wrong spot or redundant, but a quick search did not show anything but the beta. I tried to join the beta but was too slow so unless this is a fluke, or I suddenly got included in the beta this looks to be available. I'll delete or update once it is done. UPDATE, G935PVPU4ZPLN Android Version 7.0. Yea..
LGSONE

That's the official 7.0 update came out for the g930p and g935p about 24hrs ago I think

does the hotspot restart thing still work?

When should we see this update?
I finally broke down and traded in my note7 for the s7 edge...first off not a bad phone at all. Pleasantly supprised actually! When do you think 7.0 or 7.1 will start rolling to us? I have the g935p. Should I just keep searching for it? Anyone else around the Minnesota area get the update yet? Thanks in Advance!

Websites are reporting 7.0 is rolling out to the s7 and s7 edge now starting with beta users and to be on the lookout. I will start manually searching for the update a couple times a day.

Maybe, but the update doesn't get rolled out to everyone at the same time. It's a phased release. Supposedly everyone will have it by the end of the month.

Nougat arrived!!!
My fiance and I received Android N today. It is 7.0 of course. So far we like it. Runs smooth and looks different. A lot more options now. Battery seems fine for us as well. I manually checked for update and it was available and same for my fiance.

I recently received new Note fe

Hello everyone I got my hands on note fe and out of the box it's 7.0 it very smooth ans well going later I have received an oreo update I downloaded it but haven't install it yet I usually cautious about updates especially for a device not well known or not very popular my question is would you guys recommend updating? Model number
SM-N935F/DS thanks alot

Battery life is alot better with Nougat. Oreo builds have a bad problem with "cell standby" battery drain. So if you don't mind Nougat I would stay with that.
