Do you have a source for this?

Any have any trouble keeping their Root? I'm still on 4.1.1 and looking to upgrade to KK. Phone kept failing to upgrade to 4.1.2 so i just disabled the update service.
Anyone got any OTA files yet? haven't found anything yet searching google.

I sorta wonder if I should upgrade. I actually reset all my Google apps back to the factory because the upgraded ones (a little while back) were using too much memory and too many wakelocks and this and that. So I'm wondering if I need an even smarter Google Now and whatever else is new. Right now, the phone is fast, the battery lasts forever... nothing is broken.

Ya know... my phone has not been itself for the past few weeks either. It gets really hot and the battery is not lasting at all lately. I'm on travel now and working in a crappy VZW coverage zone so I thought that was my problem..but I'm going to trying re-setting the google apps. Do you any feel for which one(s) might be the most likely culprits?

When my phone gets too hot I have to put 2G instead of 4 or 3G. a bad signal can eat your battery in a matter of second. Try to clean your active apps as much as you can.

It had to be one of my apps running rampant. I had time over the holiday weekend and did a complete Factory data reset. Everything is much better now.:good:

I really couldn't tell ya. If I had been able to isolate the app, I wouldn't have needed to resort to the full system wipe. I've got most of everything re-installed except for a few apps that really didn't use anymore. I'll pay attention as load a few more to see if the problem comes back and I can relate it to a specific app.

Will anyone try to unlock our bootloades or find an exploi on kitkat? I had to get a new RAZR and it came with 9.20.1xt926 so as of now I'm stuck locked and stock. Sure would be awesome of we got another chance with 4.4

[Q] Update to 4.4; Stuck in 4.3

I have had this phone for about a month and I cant seem to get my phone to update to 4.4.
When I check with the updating service, says its up to date, but I am still at 4.3.
I have been getting updates every so often OTA, but they dont say anything about upgrading OS.
Although, at the most recent update, it said there was an error with the update.
Which wouldnt be too bad but now my battery life drains quickly. Last week, I could go a full day without a charge, now I have to plug in by mid day. I haven't installed any apps or changed my behavior since before. Screen brightness is low and I kill app regular.
Kies hasnt been helpful either. Any tips on at least getting my phone to 4.4? Any help is welcome.

Odin nae tar. Find the files yourself

[Q] What's the verdict on Lollipop for SM-G900W8?

I just received the OTA for Lollipop for my SM-G900W8, but I'm holding off on installing it. I've read some pretty negative feedback on it (e.g., Verizon), as well as from some Nexus 5 owners who say it's very unstable. If you are a running on a Canadian network, particularly Bell Mobility, your feedback is appreciated.
Also, did you have to clear the cache or do a reset?
Is there a way to delete a pending OTA update? I'm worried it will install next time I reboot the phone and I don't want that to happen until I'm ready.

+1 I'm with Rogers btw

I am also a Rogers customer...
I never received notice of the update and when trying through Kies, and checking update through the phone it showed my 4.4.2 as current. In speaking with Rogers on line and in store, they tell me that 5.0 was pulled by Samsung due to bugs, yet Samsung won't confirm, other than Norway. Have been trying to update to 5.0 or at least wait til 5.1 comes, but not sure how I get my phone to do this automatically, without having to flash the firmware. Phone is unlocked, but never rooted.

I tried stock Lollipop a couple days ago. I went back to KitKat a day later. I wasn't a fan of the way it handled sound with the whole interruption system and such. And I often turn off just notifications while leaving everything else on but it was overly complicated to do that with the stock 5.0 rom. I had a couple force closures on apps that were never a problem before and it was just, well, not as responsive. Although that might've needed to take some time? The pop-up notifications thing was annoying (blocked part of the app I was in some times) and the task switcher was slow and cumbersome compared to the fast list in KitKat.
My thoughts, anyway. I think I'll wait for Google to mess with stuff. I get the feeling that they upgraded with good intentions but got a bit too carried away with their ideas. However, I am just one person so, you know, others probably liked it a lot.

Thanks for the replies. I didn't hear anything bad specifically for this model do I decided to give it a try. Installation was clean. No glitches at all. I'll keep an eye on battery consumption and report back. First impression is that Google got carried away with themselves making gratuitous changes.

I've gotten the update on my Bell Galaxy S5. There seems to be two issues: 1) Battery life. I've been getting 2-3hrs SoT only, while I was getting much more than that before. 2) Sometimes the call audio drops. I can't hear the other person and they can't hear me, but if you call back it seems to work? It's really hit or miss. Currently investigating the battery problem but it seems to be some sort of wakelock caused by PowerManagerService.WakeLocks and PowerManagerService.Display. GSAM reports that Kernel is taking up 40% of the battery.

It's been over a week with lollipop. There was another update a couple days after I upgraded. There are a few things I don't like, but it seems to be working pretty well.

Would you still choose the note edge?

Would you still choose the note edge today over the note 4? If yes why and if no why. Include your variant and which OS you're running thanks. Or if you would choose a different phone that came out at the same time as them two

I like the original phone as it was delivered,but there's no way in hell I'd ever let those idiots at Samsung push an update to it again,knowing what I know now.

Not true, I have the exact same Canadian model as you and my phone never reboots. I've had this phone since kitkat and I've installed custom ROMs, Kernels and I've also ran stock on kitkat, lollipop and marshmallow. No reboots. Maybe you just flashed the wrong thing or didn't do regular cleaning/backups (wiping cache, dalvik cache, factory resest)

I just explained to you that I did not have reboots on stock as well as rooted on all android versions. It's not good to spread misinformation. "You" are having reboots, not everyone else that updated

It's only misinformation if it's not true.
I also am not the only one who had the problem as evidenced by a large number of people who were factory updated from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1 and posted about it on the web.

At least in my case the phone asks for password saying that it's needed after reboot, but it doesn't actually reboot. You can check if it's the same for you using an uptime widget such as this.
As for the question from the OP, yes, I would still prefer the Note Edge. The main reason is that I like to be able to control my phone and media player using the edge screen, while keeping the navigation software map (Waze) uninterrupted.

I'm having a hoot with my phone and what it can do. I didn't quite realize just how "niche" the phone was, and as a consequence, there isn't much development interest in it. Still, finding it a great phone.
I'm now 6.01 without any noticeable issues that I can tell, but perhaps I'm not sophisticated enuf to really know. Biggest beef is that the battery life sucks especially if your using it continuous, as in playing some game or other. Can actually watch the percent meter go down. Lol.
btw, throwing out a big hi to all you Albertan's. I'm was Edmonton native, born and raised.

I see you love the phone but not the operating system .... battery hog.
I've heard that about Marshmallow.
I wonder what sort of garbage Samsung is running in the background to cause this?
It's probably why a fair number of people who love the phone root and install their own operating system.

"Would you still choose the note edge today over the note 4?"
Yes, after 1+ year of use I would, over any phone.
Performance, screen, camera, edge panel, S-pen, all awesome!

Love the phone but should have opted for the unlocked version instead of the carrier (AT&T) version.

I'd buy another if i had the extra cash. I love this phone. Very few share my thoughts. But in all honesty, f*** them. I use the phone , it suits me. Thats all that's matters!! I wish the dev was better, or for an upgrade to 6.1.1 with the theme store. But lets get real, this phone was a limited edition type thing. I knew that coming in. It still turns heads and i still get good battery life.

i am getting one , whats a good basic rom to root or remain stock ?

I have the Edge great phone...just Crap support and firmware from Samsung...I had random reboots but installed the latest update (Rooted it, Xposed) and its much better, not one reboot on new firmware --DPH4

Maybe I would give my thoughts on this, but I've been stuck for 3 says now, trying to unlock the bootloader. I'm on the Verizon variant. I've actually successfully unlocked the bootloader, I'm stuck on flashing the MM firmware without bootloader. The file is corrupt, and the md5 is no good. The user that uploaded the file won't reply, it's been 3 days. So I'm stuck!

ok i just gotten my edge , was on lollipop , played for a while , installed some apps , suddenly when the battery reach 25 % it started to reboot loop non-stop , ah what a bummer , i updated to MM OTA , finger cross ....hopefully no more reboots

i just recently picked up 2, ones blacklisted and has mmc_read failures but was $100 and bought for donor parts, the second i traded a dell laptop for and it is fine but had random reboots and lockups, flashed both back to stock 5.1 and then put riverrom on them both and they seem to be ok now, the donor does still reboot and fail more then id like, but the second one seems fine now after 2 days

I still like this phone. My biggest complaint lately is battery life (got a new battery), and an inordinate amount of screen burn-in. I can see on light screen where the lock-screen notifications usually are, as well as other sections of the screen that are burned in from static images.

LG V20 H990DS Firmware Update V10b-Nov-25-2016

Hi,
i just received an OTA update:
V10b-Nov-25-2016
Changelog just stated that usability and functionality of the smartphone has been improved.
Has anybody else already received this? Did anybody notice changes?
Kind regards,
BrowsingMan

received, but nothing to report, works exactly as before

Just updated last night. Seems normal

Received it as well last night. There was a bit of instability for the first hour or so. Lagging etc and one automatic reboot, but I'm guessing that was just due to the OS system settling down.
This morning everything seems normal as before.

Any improvement in auto shots with the camera?

Same happened to me. I rebooted a few times which didn't fix it which got me worried, but by the morning it was fine.
I don't mean to derail the thread but is there any custom support for this phone model? I'm mainly only seeing support for the H918. I'd love to root once its available and safe but it seems like this is one of those odd models out that no one really cares about.

Can you guys check/time your fast charge using OEM cable and charger? It doesn't seem to work for me, ot at least not prior to the OTA update on every ocassion. I've had instability issues when the phone gets a little hot/warm, if left in direct sunlight for 15 minutes, etc. I'm going to thoroughly test this out before posting anjy reviews. So far, not impressed with the loudspeaker.
I also don't want to update the phone yet incase the "impending" root solution, if one comes about, happens to be software-version-specific, since we are dealing with a phone on a locked bootloader.
RoOSTA

something i have noticed since the update is a huge improvement in reception... now almost all the time it's 4-5 bars for each sim, on lte and 3g, whereas before i used to pick up my phone and see only 1-2 bars... especially at home.
i must specify that i never had a problem calling or browsing even with 1-2 bars, never lost connection during a call, cristal clear voice. so maybe before it was simply showing less bars than it really was? anyway, just my feedback

from 5% to 100% it takes about 1 hour and a quarter

Yep , received the update yesterday. No comment on the update work just like normal. ?

Hey guys.
I installed the LG PC Bridge and, among other things, I decided to check for a software update. It informed me one was available, which seemed odd, because I had checked yesterday O.T.A. and had found nothing.
Anyway, I disconnected the phone and checked again and true enough the 10b update was available (still found it weird that it said Nov. 25 though) at approx. 730MB, but I decided to reconnect and use Bridge to update.
I began the process and it said the download size was 2.9GB! That's a huge difference. O.T.A. still shows the update at 730MB. Does anyone know if there any differences??

i guess bridge is offering you the full package instead of the incremental update, but the outcome should be the same

Does anyone notice any difference?
Mine works great before and after update....
Everything looks really good...I think that the problem with keyboard is a little improved....I'm talking about next word suggestion...

Mine has just been updated to 10b as well. So far everything is working great but I've only just starting using the phone so I can't comment on what was fixed over the last release.

Phone is getting warm and battery drops quicker for me. Anyone has the same problem?
Also, please check your Data usage for Google Docs, Slides and Drive. i don't use it but it still has backgroud data running! Do u have same issue?

Just updated to v10d released December 26 Changelog says performance improvement and improvement to home. Screen but I haven't noticed any changed neither I'm speed nor in options

Did you receive the update via PC Bridge or OTA?

in SEA region, we're still stuck with V10c

I bought mine in Philippines, and since the middle of December (more or less) I am with the 10e version, and still trying to realize how many other versions LG needs to release for the phone have a good usability.
Same for the LG G5, that is in the first Nougat version and it's in the box (both).

i got it via OTA and i went straight from v10b to v10d i didnt receive any update for v10c

I received the OTA update V10F-IND-xx about a week ago. Talked about performance improvement. Post the update the battery performance has gone to hell. It would easily pump out about 6 hours SOT which has now dropped to about 4 hours. Also, have noticed slight to medium heating under the power key when using apps that access data over wifi.Unrooted. Anyone know if it's possible to roll back the update without rooting? OR any quick fix to this problem.
