Nice find! That page is all kinds of confused. Source still hasn't been posted and there's nothing official on the Sprint site. It also said it started 9/24/2014, which is doubtful given no source, etc. When linking through to the "how to update" it says NE5 and NI4 listed in the same sentence.
Regardless, hopefully we see this all happen soon. I'm also hopeful that the changelog is actually more than that.

From my understanding this is just a minor security update and nothing more. L is what I'm interested in, hopefully will be here this year.

If history has been any indicator, and I've been with Sprint for like 4 years now, I wouldn't expect to start seeing ota end user confirmation until about 2 1/2 weeks to a month after its alleged release :/ Our American carriers and their sluggish staggered rollouts lol

I had a chat with a Sprint Representative, and she said that they had no knowledge of a update on the 24th and the we should be updated in October.

Yeah, looking like a goof on Samsung's part. No source, no announcement as far as I have seen.

This is not available OTA or through Kies. Also Sprint CSR's are denying it has been released. So I think it hasn't been released.

Sprint subscribers using Samsung Galaxy S5 can now download the official Android 4.4.

Folks, we've seen goofs like this before. Until source drops and and you see the notice on Sprint Connections (S5 subforum) it's not a done deal.

I think Samsung jumped the gun in this case. We have never seen it go OTA until it drops on Sprint Communities site.

Sprint Galaxy S5 Android L 5.0 Update

So we have seen our friends at SAMMOBILE playing with a Samsung Galaxy S5 sporting Android L 5.0, is it possible that we will see an OTA Update soon for our Sprint variant the SM-G900P? Or will we have to wait for the next 6 months for our Lollipop?
Well, not so long ago a leaked document (SEE PICTURE) from Samsung dated October 5th, 2014 showed an schedule of different Samsung devices that will soon be getting an OTA Update dubbed KTU84P (Phase 2). Notice that our carrier variant SM-G900P is not on this list, which leads me to believe that we will have to wait a little longer, perhaps until early next year.
What are your thoughts about this? Can you wait for the candy or will you ROOT your device and have a taste before the OTA it's released to us? Let's hear what the masses have to say!

When can we expect Lollipop (Android 5) for Note 4?

How long usually it takes Samsung to adopt the new Android version?

in my experience, it could be months. As in Q2 2015

Knowing Samsung it might not be till end of summer 2015 (if you are lucky).

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.

Meanwhile, the good people at LG are releasing Lollipop for the LG G3 this week. Samsung is always way too slow with updates, for no acceptable reason.

Android in G3 is not so heavily modified than in Samsung phones. Maybe that's the reason.

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]

S5 mini Lollipop 5.1.1

Good news guys! Galaxy S5 mini 5.1.1 Lollipop is coming!!!
source

I Do not believe it will be launched soon. usually there are leaks from samsung..it is not the case..
anyone have more precise info?

samsung just announced that the newly arrived e5 and e7 won't be getting lollipop even though lollipop was promised and some e5 already run it (weird stuff). my point being, i'm not optimistic that the s5 mini will get android 5.0. if you remember samsung promised 4.4 kitkat for the international s3 mini and never gave the update, despite it being one of the top 10 selling devices across the globe. the s5 mini was going to get 5.0 between early may and late june and since no leaks have been found the chances are slim. hope i'm wrong, of course.

What a joke. At least release the S6 mini so we can upgrade.........

And that in itself is a joke. I just bought my S5 mini only a few months ago. I'm not going to just go buy a new S6 because Samsung thinks that I need to do that, when I have a perfectly fine S5 mini that they can upgrade, as they said it would be.
I will never EVER buy a Samsung product again with how they have handled this.

you need to stay away from samsung phones unless they are a galaxy s or a note, or at least an alpha (minis excluded). after my post above i searched the web and found that i was wrong (at least theoritically) because samsung uk officially stated the s5 mini will get lollipop, if i'm not wrong the uk version is the exynos one (international). but i don't trust them till i see the update myself.

Me too. Except S Note series... But if they break Note series, THAT'S IT. I'M OUT OF SAMSUNG COMMUNITY.

The 5.0.1 update was promised in the late Q2 2015, but -I reaaaaally hope- was cancelled because Sam is cooking the 5.1.1 update (as samsung.youmobile.org says). In this case we'll have to wait a couple of months to see if Sam says something about.
I think my next smartphone will be the next Nexus 5 after the upcoming 2015 revision (if Google release another Nexus 5 in 2016) or maybe a Nokia smartphone if they really come to Android...

Is there any posibility to install the us version on g800f?
Sent from my SM-G800F using XDA Free mobile app

No, you can't. The main US version mounts an Snapdragon SoC, the european an Exynos SoC. Both versions are technically different, although they share specs the SoC isn't the same. Two SoCs, two different ROMs...

Do you think Marshmallow will come to the SG5?

Either officially or unofficially as a ROM?
Has there been any hints of it?

I would imagine so it will get it offically

It's possible (though I'm not holding my breath lol)
Look at the S2.......
It started out with Gingerbread, got an update to Icecream Sandwich, and then got Jellybean......
The S5 started with KitKat and got updated to Lollipop......I reckon there (might) still be a possibility of one more upgrade.........
(Unless Samsung has got all savvy/greedy and thinks that we will buy the latest flagship if they don't upgrade the S5 anymore)......
Sent from my rooted, debloated stocKK kn0x0 SM-G900F

you're right but between 2.3.x and 4.1.x Samsung didn't released any new phones. S2 was released in 1st quarter 2011 and S3 in 2nd quarter 2012. Currently Samsung releases new phones more often and from economic point of view, S5 is old model, now Samsung is working on S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+, Note 5, Note 4, Alpha.
I don't expect official Android m 6.0 update. Update to 5.1.x will end support for S5 definitely (that's my opinion).
In S2/S3 times Samsung didn't have so many phones and tablets like today..

T-Mobile has confirmed Marshmallow will come to SG5!

even if we don't get stock Marshmallow, we still will most likely get the CM version of it, so I guess its something

It doesn't look like the official update is coming for the S5, Samsung is yet to issue the reason behind Galaxy S5 completely skipping this major update.
