Didn't stop people buying the s2 when that came out with gingerbread and Ics was looming.
There's always an update looming that's called life get used to it or buy a nexus.
The only ones who truly care are the nexus guys and the ones in the forums posting loads of new threads just to say "I WANT MY UPDATE AND I WANT IT NOW OR SO HELP ME I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SAMSUNG AGAIN" which is stupid because they end up buying there next flagship device

it is not true that only the nexus guys care about because when you expect an update even devs hold back because they say that it wont be worth spending time on deving for a firmware that will get old very soon. but if you pay $700 for a phone i do not think you like to hear that you gotta wait months to have a major upgrade like KLP.

It's always a problem, and will remain so. Expect to get the update in 6 months.
Personally I think samsung is quite good at updating their devices. I mean, their 2011 flagship the S2 is going to get the 4.2.2 update. They won't abandon S4 as soon as that. Hopefully, S4 will continue getting updates for at least a couple major versions.

That's the price you pay for not having a nexus and I didn't say that others don't care I said nexus guys care and others post loads of threads about when the updates coming to there phone.
So your expecting something that took several months for Google to make for the nexus and when its released these manufactures have to rewrite their code into the new update and for several phones how fast do you really expect that to happen

What can we do? Only buy nexus? Gotta wait. Sammy has been the best at updating the android software. The S IV will be the only flagship running 4.2.2 besides the nexus line. I think that is great,

Why get an S4 if u can wait for an S5.... why wait for an S5 when u can wait for an S6.... why wait for an S6 when the S7 would be out soon after.... why wait for the S7 because we clearly know the S8 will be out soon after that....
do you see a problem with this waiting? you end up stuck with old boring behind the times tech...

lol nah we dont have to all get nexus. i think this time is a little different from the past, since s3 and s4 are pretty much similar(at least for the mainstream user) and KLP seems like a bigger update than the ones google usually pushes. it is true that tons of people bought the s2 while still having to wait foe ics but the s2 i think was a bigger upgrade compared to the s1 vs the s4 not being that much of an upgrade compared to the s3

Its the same with all types of technology... PC's, Cars, fridges, TVs, washing machines, i think the only thing that hasnt changed in 30 years is Toilets.... (cept some crazy japanese ones...)
It comes totally down to personal preference, affordability, and need vs desire for when people choose to upgrade.
I have a friend who is still using the ORIGINAL IPHONE 1.... as he has no need for upgrades and as such hasnt... it does what he needs and thats that. Me on the other hand, ive had my S1 and S2 skipped the S3 becoz Dorrimanx kernel for the S2 has brought it sustained life for a long period of time. So i am now ready for an upgrade, S4 is definitely my cup of tea... (so to speak)
Following Samsung's trend,
The Samsung GALAXY S 4 will get Android Key Lime Pie probably in November (6 months after May)
The Samsung GALAXY S 3 definitely even later, possibly even early next year.
The question is are you willing to wait?

Jelly bean was released in july 2012 alongside the nexus 7. Samsung started the Galaxy s 3 jellybean roll out in october.
I would Iove to wait for a Nexus device to come out with KLP but what are the odds of one coming out for Verizon? Probably very little so, I'll most likely have to go with the S4

There have already been two preview builds for the S5, both shown by Sammobile on YouTube. Which means they are working on it and they're almost there. I would expect an update closer to the end of the year or at the beginning of the next.

Enough proof for you?
I am pretty confident/optimistic that we will have the update during Nov-Dec, 1-2 months from now
So far we have seen 2 leaks of Lollipop for S5, 1 leak of S4, so imagine at what level the newest flagship of Samsung is
Even more, all companies are promoting fiercely their update plans, so Samsung should be at least worried and thus speed up their game.
Lastly, last year we had the same case as with Note 3, it was released with 4.3 Jellybean and it received the 4.4 Kitkat update in early January.
The best news relateed to this is that Chainfire was able to root Lollipop on the Nexus 9. It is encouraging that if you have an unlocked bootloader, it seems likely that there will be root for Android 5.

Are you joking? There are builds for the S5 and the S4, the latter being almost 2 years old now! There is no way the the Note 4 will get an update in "Q2 2015". And the article you linked to has no substantial evidence or insight. On the other hand, we know Note 3 was released with 4.3 and got an update to 4.4 in January, so it's not far fetched to think the Note 4 will be treated the same way.

I hope you are right, but I highly doubt we will get it before end of Q1-2015. Yes there are builds for many phones, but Samsung tends to take their sweet time coming up with a final draft. I suffered plenty with the Note 2 and Note 3 (still on 4.4.2 until now). Maybe the fact that almost every manufacturer other than samsung will have Lollipop before end of the month might make Samsung move faster (but I doubt it, because they know that most of their end users aren't on XDA and don't know lollipop from lollygag).
What's really funny -and to be frank, quite sad- is how we use words like "suffer" when we explain how we feel about waiting for an update. It's a phone. Save your capacity to suffer for things that actually matter.
Maybe Samsung will see this and we'll get the update this week........or in Q4 15[emoji13]
Hey Guy,
I have a friend that works for the mobile division of BestBuy and he saw an email that Samsung sent them that says Lollipop should be released within a few days. The email doesn't specifically give that information but he says it shows instructions on how to update the demo devices to Lollipop and how to reinstall the retail demo software after the update. He said usually those kind of emails are sent within days of the actual updates which would mean that most of the units on demo (Note 4, S5, Alpha and possibly Note 3) should be getting 5.0 within a few days. This update affects DEMO units which are not carrier branded which could mean, as usual, some carriers might keep that update for testing until they are comfortable it is fully compatible with their network.
This is good news for us, as Samsung has already started pushing Lollipop to some European countries.
I say mid February
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Possible, depending on the carrier. I think T-mo pushes the updates quite quickly
The T-Mobile Note 2 I had earlier was still on Jelly Bean. Is Lollipop coming to T-Mobile Note Devices anytime soon?

I actually work at Best Buy. I'll see what I can dig up when I go to work tomorrow.
got to be earlier than march I mean by then we should be expecting another upgrade.... lol
I think by the mid or end of this month./
Like stated above...I could care less when the official update is released. I just want to know my roms will be updated.

It's funny how several people can read the same articles and interpret it VERY differently. Samsung has announced THEY will be rolling out Lollipop...this means unbranded devices. Then one of the articles uses words regarding US carriers as "could" and "as early as January" adding the disclaimer that the carriers will do whatever they want regarding testing and timelines. So before you all continue fighting over vaporware, research all the articles on KitKat and Jellybean that all had the same wording, people still posting "We will haz JB tomorrow" and then the US carriers releasing an OTA 2 months later. Granted Sprint and T-Mobile are usually the firsts in the US carrier line because they do not have to worry about unlocking and relocking a bootloader without bricking devices on an OTA....so rather than fight...just wait...be patient for that new Knox loaded Lollipop update.
I will be cleaning the disrespectful posts from this thread and expect those who posted in such a manner to accept this as an official warning...do not do so again!

is there any chances to get marshmallow update for Note 3 (Snapdragon)
No one knows. But let the Note 5 selling start, and within a month of that Samsung will announce whether to update our device or not, that is if Note 5 doesn't sell well they will be angry (like anyone cares about that after releasing a phone like Note 5) and will say no, no Marshmallow for Note 3. But if Note 5 sells well then they will give us the update. I am positive about the update though.
Probably we may get an unofficial version.

The latest galaxy range of the s6 and the note 5 are the 'disappointment devices' .... I recon peoplewont buy them because of the important features they took out like Micro Sd slot...removable battery and the phone being made from pure glass and metal theyr basing it more on iphones... COMON SAMSUNG FIX UP.
When we see the Samsung's support's histroy there are no device that it support more than 24 month

I want to buy a note 3 now because it is a great device, screen size and resolution, battery life, etc... But I want to know if CM or and other custom rom will be available for marshmallow. The hardware should be able to handle it, right?
More likely there won't be an official Marshmellow update, because Note 3 is already old, despite the hardware being more than enough to handle it. It's not a hardware limitation but rather Samsung pulling to plug, plus, by now if you are carrier locked, no carrier will push an update for a phone which is over 24 months old.
Probably we will see a Marshmellow update, but it'll be unofficial. If you ask me, that's more than enough.
right! who likes touchwiz? hehe

I'm just wondering, since the marshmallow leak for the Note 5.... if anyone is working on it. I've combed the forums but can't find any chatter.
