[Q] Android 5.0 Lollipop - Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

are rooted devises getting update automatly or we have to do this manualy? sry for stupid question but im not sure. i think it's should

Yes we will be getting the 5.0.2 Lollipop update soon. It is set as pending in Samsung's official update page. I am a new user so I cannot post links until 10 posts so search this without the quotation marks.
"Official Samsung® Android Updates & Firmwares"
Hope this answers your question.

It's taking sooo long...

We're still waiting huh... geez. Last Samsung device for me definitely. Maybe the NokiaN1 if it ever comes to Europe...

Android 4.4 will be out soon , probably some time during IFA

http://www.android.com/kitkat/index.html
Well Google just announced android 4.4 KitKat. I wonder if Samsung will decide to skip the 4.3 upgrade for our phones and go straight to 4.4. If they do that even I will stop defending them when it comes to updates.
" I will stop defending them"....?...What if you get 4.4 soon directly.??

Not gonna happen mate.
S4 and Note 3 will get the update first.
S3 and Note 2: not before Q2 2014.
I'll come out when the new Nexus does. Probably October.
So far all I'm seeing for sure is an advertisement for Kitkat bars and android.com cobbling email addresses.
Where did you get the "Soon" part from?
5.0 KLP would be better for us b/c from 4.3 to 4.4 the new features will probably be less important than from 4.3 to 5.0.

now samsung will say they will update directly to 4.4 n skip 4.3 for note 2...
And thw 4.4 will come in the next ifa?
IFA is now in Germany for the next few days. I just guessed it will be launched during this event. It's up to Google when they release it and no announcement has been made or leaked on the date.

Android 5.0 will start likely with an L (unless there are more named point releases), possibly Lollipop.

Impossible...
MW and SPen are Samsung features and we don't have any 4.3 Samsung FW.
Then 4.1.2?

There was no official mention of the Note 2 getting an upgrade to 4.3

It seems that there is some confusion on weather the Note 2 was mentioned as part of the handsets receiving the 4.3 upgrade this October.
The only phones mentioned were the S3 and S4. There was no other device mentioned.
Most online news sites have reported this. Sources :
Engadget
Android Authority
Sammobile
Andoid Spin
We will most likely get the upgrade. This is not a Samsung hate thread. I just wanna clear up the fact that the only devices that are covered by the update announcement are the S3 and S4. Samsung is most likely just giving the Note 3 more exclusive time with 4.3 and delaying our upgrades after the sales of their new phablet take off.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45329959&postcount=9 :silly:
False , Note 2 is getting
What Engadget reported is not true. Here you go with the official demo by samsung. You can see that Note 2 is getting the 4.3 version by october this year.
http://youtu.be/oMr5gywv0zM?t=3m51s
He says the S3 and Note 2 will receive updates in October. Fair enough he doesn't actually mention android 4.3, but as far as I'm aware, the compatibility with galaxy gear requires Bluetooth 4.0 which is enabled through android 4.3? Not so sure about that last bit so please do correct me of I'm mistaken.
I hope we get the new features of the note 3, I quite fancy the look of the new s note and air command.

Hey I'm glad I read this post confirming N2 is due an update Oct '13. I had my doubts because other threads said N2 update was not mentioned at the unpacking.
I follow your reasoning that the update will likely be 4.3. Otherwise connectivity with the Gear will not be possible. It's been unequivocally stated that 4.3 bluetooth is required - where else would the capabilitycome from? Sammy want us to buy the Gear. It all ties in with rumors Sammy planned skipping 4.2 for 4.3

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Usually I'd think they would wait a couple more months to let the note 3 sales ride out before updating the note 2, but in the interest of getting the gear out there, they might just push it early.
I won't be buying a gear as its not for me, but if we get an early 4.3 update with the new note 3 features because of it, then I'm so very glad it's coming out!!
It's sucks
A year after the Note 2 was release and Samsung did not updated Note 2
that sucks, many other Devices had the 4.2.2 and 4.3 and im in 4.1.2
Wifi drains my standby battery like there's no tomorrow. No such problem on my Nexus 4 (or any HTC One S).
I sincerely hope 4.3 sorts this problem out.

Plus stock camera and samsung drivers are far beyond any other camera app in the market, CM and AOSP cameras are just pathetic and correct me if I'm wrong but even if S-PEN works in non-samsung based Roms, it doesn't detect the pressure of it.
So I'm still waiting for the update, then the great devs of this forum can do the magic.

It is very quiet around the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012 edition) has become since the new N8010 Note 10.1 (2014 edition) has come out. Everywhere you read what Tablets receive updates and what not. However, if you read anything about the Galaxy Note 10.1 N8010. Therefore my question: Does he get an update to Android 4.3 and here is a timeline of known. Thanks for the effort taken by you.

Anyway, our tablet getting 4.3 makes sense since Samsung wants more of their devices to be compatible with their Galaxy Gear. kcrudup said in a thread I made yesterday that our tablet already has Trim, so I'm not sure what significant benefits we really get from 4.3.

I cant believe how laggy Samsung has been with the updates already. My wife's Note 2, still 4.1, my note 10.1, 4.1. My T-Mobile S4 still has the old 4.2 without aps2sd, that every other major network player got months ago. Just ridiculous. Ive since sold my S4, but with Samsung missing entire versions of updates on their hardware, I have to rethink purchasing from them again.

My opinion is that Samsung is the best OEM for updating its phones. Still no where near the Nexus(not even close) far cry better than let's say HTC. Kinda sucks the note 2 still on 4.1.2 but we are said to get 4.3 and I bet you we will get 4.4 and maybe even 4.5/5.0.
My opinion is the note features out weight 4.3. My biggest complaint is that touchwiz looks ugly compared to the s4 which IMO looks awesome. Oh well gotta love the spen. If Nexus were to make a wacom note sized tablet and added support for spen like stylus be all over it. Doubt it though unless Google and Samsung make Google edition note 3. Then again it would probably be 750+ unsubsidized lol

Not so much this time. The HTC One on Sprint and AT&T already got 4.3, and HTC has officially announced that T-Mobile will get it this week.
my guess is december or next year even.
S4 has just received the official 4.3 update today and S3 will be the next in line.. the note2 is expected to get it by December so the note 10.1 will probably get it at the same time or after..

The Google Edition Note 3 is coming on Verizon. It is already on Samsung's site.
The Now 10.1 really should get the update sooner than December. Especially the WiFi edition. It's probably coming pretty soon. Sooner than we expect it.

I just can't conceive of a reason anyone would want stock Android on a device like the Note 3? Or any Note for that matter? Just get a Nexus? The stylus and software features will be gone! Isn't that what the Note is about?

Hope we get it soon! Or they are loosing their customers... I already was buying Sony Smartwatch 2 because Samsung says nothing when they update (or not) Note 10.1. Gear wont work until we have 4.3 inside our devices. I quess I will wait a week or two and if there is no news about 10.1 and Android 4.3, then I get Sonys Smartwatch2. Samsung should know that we of all need that update as soon as possible to get Gear working. We are keeping our Notes in bags!!! Why the hell Samsung is thinking that people who wear their phones in pockets need so badly Gear that Samsung updates their devices before our huge Notes?? Ridiculous!

Ok first off, those articles are from March and July, before the real name and version of the next release was announced. Second, just because Samsung said that back then, does not mean the official announcement hasn't changed things. I for one could care less. I love my tablet, with or without 4.3 and beyond. On my phone, different story, but I can still wait. Last time I got excited for an update was my atrix 4g and 3 days before Motorola had confirmed it would happen, they changed their mind and cancelled it. So I take news of updates with a grain of salt and a "if it happens, great, if not oh well" attitude.

Note 8 will be update to kitkat 4.4 by samsung

sammobile mentioned to that in the link http://www.sammobile.com/2014/02/06...7-0-note-8-0-and-others-to-get-kitkat-update/
Ohh gooood...I hope so...

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.

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..

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!

I've run several 4.4 ROMs on this device and have had zero app compatibility issues.

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!

Any rumours about plans to get android 5.0

Hey guys , I know that we are hardly getting kitkat for our Devices. So now would be the question , will we get 5.0 ? So body read anything about this topic ?

«Crying For KitKat» is still playing in theaters. A preview for the sequel «Longing For Lemon Meringue» will be airing in November. Please stay tuned.

Android Laxative underways. There has been too much candy
Samsung has abandoned this tablet. Get over it.

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....

What do you mean "do not get"? What's this?
For 601 - http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-P601
For 600 - http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-P600
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.

Important for you to wait for the update OTA? What prevents flash firmware to another region through Odin? All firmware is multi-language.

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.
Samsung have lost he plot :cyclops:

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.
