Android 5.0 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hey everyone,
I searched through some threads, but could not find an answer. Do you think Galaxy S4 will be receiving the 5.0 (or 4.5 what ever they will call it) update? Since the developer version is out already, what are the chances that we will be getting some custom roms in the next couple of months for 5.0? It seems like there are a few fun features coming out in 5.0, which I would love to play with!
Thank you!
John

i hope so too
i remember reading that so called "document" when SAMSUNG was MARKETING for Galaxy Gear
but since then they have gone really quiet on that topic.
looking at my signature one could tell my love for sammy but the lack of support by Samsung towards their tab range
it wont be long before that love is lost completely:crying::crying:

you're right ex: sam:galaxy note 10.1it will never be updated to 4.4.2 although it's a strong tab and now i turned to z1 from s4
OK that article is a great news! BUT the question is When....we haven't even received 4.3 yet!!!!
I would bet that the only way any of us are gonna see 4.4.2 is when it comes on the new Galaxy Note Pro 8.4 if that ever comes! They just announced the 8" Tab Pro but no word on the new 8" note.

i think sam will jump to kitkat update but i don't know when i hope it will be as soon as possible
No rule says they need to update to 5.3 first. The HTC One skipped 4.2.x and went straight from 4.1 to 4.3. Well, some of them anyway.

i hope you are right and they release it soon
but i strongly believe that article was a marketing strategy and samsung has got no such intentions because gear is old news now the models that were going to get the 4.3+ have already got it.

Yes, I believe they will eventually release KitKat for N5100/N5110 but not till July. And probably 4.5 will came until they release 4.4.

No. It actually going to be happen relatively sooner. As very good indication, Samsung will debut new Samsung S5 at MWC 2014, and possible annouce KitKat 4.4 updates for not-to-older devices as well. This is the only chance that Note 8 will get KitKat 4.4, remember that there's 18 months of software support for Android smartphones (Google’s 18 month mark), if it won't get 4.4 this time, it will never going to see 4.4 (officially at least)

I hope happens soon! but to be honest we dont even have 4.3.....do you think they will skip it and go straight for 4.4?
Well until all my 400 apps are updated to properly run 4.4, I'd rather wait it out. Nothing like app bugs on an android device. Doesn't any of you notice how much apps are being updated. Gosh, since X-mas there has been one update after another for compatibility issues with 4.4, or bugs because of backwards compatibility after the 4.4 fix. Common Google! Get your act together or MS will kicky your lilly white bahookie!

Yes I believe they will, consider that there's not a lot of difference between 4.3 and 4.4, so it makes sense for Samsung to skip 4.3 for Note 8 and go straight to 4.4
of course, all these are guessing games, we never know for sure..

It seems that you guys don't have much experience with samsung. I feel, from what I have seen from them over a few years that my prediction is....no kitkat 4.4 for the note 8 ever!

Are we getting Android 5.0? Rumors, links, etc..

After only a day from the official presentation from Google, there are already rumors tnat note 2 will get the Android 5.0, or so called Android L.
This is the first link i came across that it has info about that:

I think we will get cm, aokp based roms but i really doubt about official samsung update. You should trust samsung with this
For me no doubt, that we will get it cause N2 is so popular even after nearly 2 years and Samsung will produce and sell this device surely one more year :good:
I really doubt of an official samsung update.... but let's hope....
Honestly I'd prefere a kernel update on the kitkat release.... and some open sourcing of the exynos ****.... :crying::crying:
Suppose we could hope? Even for KK 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 ota soon?
No we won't get it. It's not the matter of popularity of the device or anything. It's that each manufacturer must provide at least 18 months of support or 3 major updates. We got ourselves 4.1.2, 4.3 and 4.4.2. So yeah, the support for the device is over. Samsung has stop support for S3, so it's our turn now

Not before it's official release which will be in a few months (hopefully).
Having 4.4.2 kernel sources may allow future 5.x AOSP builds for N710x

Yes.
Probably in some custom rom based on it.
Yes.
Samsung since the beginning didn't take care about SM-P60x. They could crush IPAD Air with just few tv commercials but they decided to not to do it. And there is few of us who are still amazed by possibilities and disappointed by product support....
If my friend would not buy it I would go for Ipad Air since I believed it is the best tablet on the market or I would buy Sony Xperia z2 tablet since Sony pays extra cash to most of tablet orientated sites to shout that it is no1 tablet with Android system..buahahahaha...
Still they released 4.4.2 XEO yesterday and I am so far happy with new changes which makes it more useful(adding more multiwindow apps and profiles). Wish they made more schemes to SNote and work more on changing hand writing to text function so it will work better and more professional, but I do not believe that they will do anything more for our Note
Best Regards.
Thanks everybody....

For 605 - http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-P605
Android devices updates windows is 18 months. So Android 5.0 will come to Note 2014 too. Just need to wait very long time before get it.
@Nik_SV in EU as far as I can tell only Spain has KitKat and since @Hudrator is from Germany he doesnt have KitKat nor do I in the UK.
So he is right we (in Europe) are hardly getting KitKat at the min.

What he said. If my sprint tab3 got kitkat this will def get L
But guys, the tablet isn't even one year old and it is a premium one, not any cheap device from Samsung. I am a little bit worried since it doesn't belong to PRO series but it still has 2014 in its name, it doesn't mean a lot but... Anyway, I honestly think we are gonna get it but arround december or only janaury.
My biggest fear is that only LTE version has cyanogenmod and 3G and Wifi version don't have it.
If it makes anyone feels better .I have had this tab since launch last year...Still on 4.3jb rooted and love it.....Kit Kat sucks ...

I've upgraded to 4.4.2 few days ago and I love it. Finally more apps in multiwindow option and profiles which are very useful for me. Still there is no additional templates to SNote but I can live without it. Hope they will add more one day.
Main problem is that Samsung did not use full potential of this tablet and did not put any marketing effort to make it more popular. This is why we are afraid that just like with accessories we will not be getting more system updates.
Nexus 6 plus 8/9 for me. Out goes 10.1 aand S4.

The Note-series is and always has been about creation and productivity. Good luck trying to replicate that on a Nexus device. Many people here bought the N10.1-14 for consumption which really undersells its value, uniqueness, and potential. To each their own.
The N10.1-14, Pro's, and S' all use the same h/w and with the exception of M-UX being omitted on the N10.1-14 similar s/w. The S' will most likely get 5.0 first. It wouldn't be hard to port the code to the Pro's and N10.1-14 shortly thereafter. With 4.4 having been rolled out months ago for the N10.1-14 and N10.1-12 it's hard to believe some regions are still on 4.3. But it's hard to believe the almost two-year old N10.1-12 got 4.4 at all. So who knows what any specific device will get or when. My personal guess is that the N10.1-14 will get 5.0 primarily because of its commonality with other device definitely getting it. Timing? Who know. Time will tell.

[Q] Android 5.0 Lollipop

Hello,
Is there any chance for Galaxy Tab 4 tablets to get update to Android 5.0?
I'd think so since they are for sure in the 18 month window, but this is Sammy we are talking about which totally ignored the NA versions of the Note 10.1 and haven't given them KitKat. Not even a breath of the update for my n8013.
Based on the fact that my tablet shipped running 4.4.2, I would hope we get 5.0; but seeing as we're talking about Samsung we might just get another kit kat update like 4.4.4 and disappear.

All Samsung tablets stayed at 4.4.2 (tab 4, tab s, tab pro etc.) so i think we all can get 5.0
But still i dont have any idea why samsung left 4.4.2 on all tablets instead of 4.4.4....
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T705/ - tab pro for example
from http://www.latinospost.com/articles...llipop-release-date-download-list-samsung.htm
they say this:
Meanwhile, users of Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (7.0, 8.0, and 10.1) and Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition will get the update by March or April.

YEAH!
I think so, because firstly it is not that old and secondly because Samsung has already announced that all recent Galaxy Tabs will get the update. In terms of smartphones, even older smartphones will get it, like the S4 and Note II. I have a Tab 4 and a Note II. Tab 4 will get the update on March or April.
Confirmed
Google just confirmed tht we r getting 5.0 in 3 months to tab 4 series!
i cant wait! i have been having some buggy issues getting busybox to work so i odin'd back to ne2 and its went thru like 3 updates now

[Discussion]Android Lollipop for S3 International. Will it be possible?

So all we need is an update for Note 2 so we can get a TW port. Perhaps this port could be more stable than KK. So the question is, when is the 5.0 official update for Note 2 will come? Are there even rumors for an update for the note 2?
Android Lollipop will most likely be even less hardware-hungry than kitkat. So I see no big problem in bringing it stable to our device.
aosp lollipop - yes, if it will be ported or support for s3 by cm will continue, that would be awesome
Android L is like windows 7 and 8, similar but better performance
we can dream ! no

Sorry for coming around with such a negative approach but do you really think that we'll get Lollipop after KitKat was cancelled? That seems to be unlogical, especially when we think about the update policy of Samsung.

Hi!
I don't think that S3 will get Lollipop directly from Samsung (I think nobody expect that), but I expect that will be technically possible, hardware could running it and developers try to port the update for this device.
From Samsung, I don't expect nothing.
what i really hope is that android 5 won't need a kernel update.... or we will be stuck with an unworking cm12
By the way, can you guys explain me how project volta works? will it come to other non-nexus devices? thanks
I need touchwiz based Android Lollipop with blend of s5 and Note 4 features. Will it be possible in future?

You saw a news which is dated at march 2013, are you serious?
There will be no touchwiz based lollipop for SGS3. If we're lucky, EXTREMELY lucky, some exynos 4 device may get lollipop, like Note II got kitkat, and somebody may port it, but this is THE BEST SCENARIO, considering the fact that Note 2 got KK and we didn't, and Samsung policy, we may NOT be that lucky. I doubt that any Exynos4 similar device will make it.
You'll have more luck waiting for CyanogenMod, Omni or similar AOSP ROMs, but be prepared for issues, I already have some sneaky tests going on .
I fear that it will be the KitKat thread all over again with rumors, screenshots of "test reports" and whatnot.

Well, kitkat was made for devices with 1gb of ram. Rumors says that android 5.0 is going to be for devices with 512mb of ram(or even more). So chances are that we could skip kk and go directly to L. But this is based on rumors only.
Not likely mate. As far as Samsung is concerned our device is obsolete.
