Firmware update for Note 4 due this week

I'm working with Gear VR and had reason to ask the right questions to my contact at Samsung and here's what he had to say today about a firmware update that I need for development (but everyone will get), "I'm hearing the Verizon update is supposed to be available in the next few days or so"
Just thought I'd share since it's rare we have reliable, official announcement before the OTA's flow. To be clear, I don't know if this update will be Android L. I DO know that it will have the bits needed to support Gear VR on retail devices.
He's also working on getting me the ROM sooner, but I'm not sure if I will be allowed to distribute. Maybe others will be getting it early for the same reasons though so if you want a decent reason to hope....

Just say no to updates!

You might as well take the update we have a better chance of root with 5.0 according to chainfire

I agree. We are unrooted and locked; what does it matter.

AT&T note 4 got an OTA update today...

What did the AT&T update consist of? Minor stuff or Android L?

If I'm not mistaken, HD voice something and bloatware.

Thanks. I hate updates like that. I hope that whatever we get from Verizon is different but I have a funny feeling we will be getting a useless update as well.

Guy in the droid life site commented that after the update on his AT&T note 4 update, the recents button was faster and more responsive. I hope it's really true and us Verizon users see the same improvement. That lag is the biggest gripe I have with this phone right now. Yeah, it's that good of a phone!

Only lag I have is the recent apps cap. Takes a second or two sometimes to load up my list of recent apps. Not sure if this is related with ART though. Any thoughts?

We WILL get Gear VR support ( the whole point of this thread). Beyond that, I can't say and don't care much. If I was fixed on root or L, I wouldn't be running the Note 4 given how good Samsung is getting at locking the boot loader. In fact, If not for my VR development, I might have purchased my first Nexus device despite the lack of SD (or grabbed the G3).
By the way, why are people still spamming with "sent from my weAlreadyKnowAndDontCare using irrelevantAndAnnoyingApp"? That's so Outlook 2000

This is the first Android phone for me where I am not terribly concerned if I don't get an unlocked bootloader. Root would be nice but it's not a deal breaker for me. I am looking forward to Android L on this phone.
As for my Tapatalk signature, I rarely post in forums so I forgot the signature was even there! I more or less read forums these days.
Thanks for posting the information!

Is this OTA really worth taking seeing as we seem not to be close to attaining root?

Yeah that's the only lag for me as well. I'm not running on ART and I have it so I think it doesn't matter there. Just need a software update to fix that issue then this phone will be perfect!

Agreed. Switched back to JIT Dalvik and it Was still persistant. Hopefully this update will tweak a lot of things.

It's Friday. I wish there will be something during the weekend. Really want the HD calling

Hi, yes but these are only available to order during occasional flash sales which only run for a few hours. I managed to order one on 19th February for delivery in March. Haven't received it yet although the payment was taken from my credit card on the same day it was ordered! So don't order one if you need it immediately!

And there'll by the MX4 soon.

Do you know it this version of ubuntu will work as desktop when it's conected to a monitor or a dock?

@akira.ons No, it won't. They are still working on that part of the software.

Yes, screen mirroring has been done before. However, having a fully-fledged deskop OS on your phone hasn't been achieved by anyone yet.

Actually it has a hdmi and loads a small debian based webtop and a window to see the original phone screen to male calls and text. They also sell a laptop dock so you have the feel of a normal computer, So ill have to disagree with you there,
Its an atrix 4g Motorola

@JustSueMe That's cool, indeed! However, it's still not the same OS powering both modes.

I read on BQ's Twitter account that they started shipping Ubuntu phones this week, I didnt receive email notification that mine is shipped yet, I am hoping they will ship mine soon, they are probably shipping those sold in the first flash sale now, then the second etc, I bought mine in third but they said buyers will receive their phones in March so I am holding them to that lol.

@Jack Harper They don't seem to send them out ordered by the number of the flash sale. Someone who bought one in the third flash sale posted on Google Plus that he has already received his phone. So there's hope for you.

I emailed them and all they tell me is shipping will start in 2nd half of march and refuse to give me a date.
I hope the next Ubuntu phone gets sent out on day ordered via another company.
Since when is the 18th not in the 2nd half of march and why is shipping date on a product I paid for such a massive secret?

Then they are being sent randomly, yeah hoping is the only thing I can do now as they dont give out any estimates as when the phone is shipped, still I am holding them to the promise that devices will be received by the buyers in March. I saw your Forum Browser application in the Ubuntu Touch store, your application is going to be one of the first I will install I noticed you also have Cantata player in the store, does it allow folder browsing? I have a few folders on my phone with music randomly collected from many sources and many songs dont have any tags, that makes a mess in players that sort music via tags, having a player that can browse folders would be awesome.

Because they probably dont know, it seems they already shipped some phones from the third sale so that could mean they ship them randomly, and if that is the case then they cant know the date. Still they did say that buyers will receive their devices in March, I am holding them to that, if I receive my phone during March I am ok with that as that is what was promised.

I got the phone today :victory:

I noticed one thing that Ubuntu Touch desperately needs and that is a music player with folder browsing, Music makes such a mess with my music collection as not all of it is 100% accurately tagged, if someone makes a music player with folder browsing I am so paying for it or donating, I cant stand the mess tagged based players create with my music

A fake? And spelling mistake!

Hiya,
So I bought one on eBay and I THINK it's real - but I want to be sure. Is there any easy way of telling? The main reason's I'm worried are the few things that irked me slightly - 1: it's apparently from 'Singtel', and had a 'My Singtel' bloatware app - which is annoying either way. 2: The Google search bar seems to have a slightly different font - but that could be because it's an international version or something? There's also a spelling mistake in the 'battery info' pane on the settings - but again, I'm wondering if this is just because of where the phone's from. EIther way, that's very annoying, now that I've seen it - do you think Samsung would release a patch or is this Singtel version going to rely on Singtel to send updates (ie, I won't get them from Samsung OTA until Singtel have 'cleared' them?).
FYI I can compare it to my definitely real (well, should be!) O2 store bought S6.

Download cpu-z app from Play Store and take a look at your hardware info, run Geekbench or Antutu, Geekbench should be around 5000, and Antutu around 60000, plus both apps will show your hardware info.

CPU-Z is saying its a 'Samsung Exynos processor' Octa, 7420. 2.10 Ghz
Phone Info says the Model is SM-G928I, device type zenlte, made in Vietnam
Geekbench 3 gives it Multi core of 5225
Antutu gives it 69145
So it seems legit... that spelling mistake in settings is odd though???
As long as it's legit I plan on flashing a rom asap anyway, so I guess it's 'nationality' doesn't matter at that point, right?
When I contacted the seller the response was this:
'Usually for new release products we will take from around the world the ensure we have enough quantity to satisfy demand, and for our customers to get the latest products. therefore in this case some were collected from Singapore hence the singtel. for this we believe the matter is small because now a day most devices comes with 32gb or above, therefore even the network provider provides some preinstalled apps our customers will still have many space to play with. moreover a mobile requires network operators so there is some such apps anyway
with the box being opened, it is culture we found best to do, especially for newly released items, you will never know if the manufacturer have accidentally manufactured a faulty product to come the release date, so we open the box to ensure basic functions, calls, network connections etc are functional before giving it to you to avoid returns because the manufacturer produced a faulty product
lastly the information spell error, we really did not know. However upon your question, we checked our stock, samsung and googled, we found that it is a common problem amongst the first batch of release. Samsung Singapore informed us that they realised this silly issue and will correct this upon the next firmware update. '
-so does this mean (without flashing) I'm dependant on Samsung Singapore, even though I'm in the UK? Would that slow down updates/ cause me issues do you think?
Thanks

You can always flash some other stock firmware with Odin, your phone supports all stock firmwares from all mobile operators from Singapore, Australia and New Zealand, so pick one, they can't all have that spelling error.

Thanks for the response! Just a question (or three :S)
Does flashing official firmware in this way trip knox?
How do you know which regions firmware my phone supports?
Will it inhibit me at all that it's not a European model?
And if I flash an Australian one, for example, will it cause me signal worries or anything? Thanks

No, flashing firmware with Odin will not trip Knox.
I know because "I" model is for those regions, Australia, Singapore and New Zealand,
Here you can find all firmwares supported by your model:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G928I/
I presume that you don't have any signal problems with Singaporean firmware, so i don't think you'll have any problems with any other firmware from that region, since they all are using the same modem.

Yeah, sure, but you can't know which one of them will push update first, and it doesn't really matter, because when the new update is out you can also download it from Sammobile and flash it with Odin, like most people often do. Till recently i had Galaxy S5, 900F model, and when last year Samsung pushed 5.0 update, Poland was the first European country to get it, so i just downloaded Polish 5.0 firmware and flashed it with Odin.

I bought my edge+ whilst travelling through Singapore last week. I also have the spelling mistake and bought the phone directly from a Samsung store.

Samsung Pay Receives its First Update! 9/23

As you all know, I have been on the Samsung Pay Beta for some time now. I have been posting my feedback here and on my channel and contacted Samsung Directly. This updates included feedback that I provided and now see implemented in Samsung Pay. How cool is that. Check out the video. Now you can see the virtual card # during checkout!

There was an earlier update about ten days ago. There was no notification, you had to get it through settings. There's been no change between that update and today's that I can see. One thing the earlier update added is that now you can't use the app without accepting a pending update which I found out about when the notification came just as I was about to pay for something. I wasn't amused.

Did your first update include the digital card number as mine? Or did the second?

It was in the first update.
This update didn't change anything visually.

You can now open the app with the screen off. Just swipe up from the fingerprint sensor and the app will open. Then you verify with your fingerprint again.

Very Cool. I tried that as well. I wonder if the update was carrier specific? I use Samsung Pay literally every day multiple times a day. Today was the first time i got the notice. I am on ATT

Hi guys, I am a new Note 5 user. My Note 5 is SM-N9208. I was told that Samsung Pay comes by default in Note 5 and S6 Edge+. But I cant find Samsung Pay in my device, even if I try to swipe the fingerprint sensor upwards.
Is Samsung Pay only available to Korean regions only or must register as beta user ? Isn't it available by default in all Note 5 variant ?
Please advice me

I'm on 1.3.2116 and I got the update from T-Mobile already. Been using Samsung Pay since the beta started so I hope I don't have to find another card to add.

You are on the latest version. Some people are not seeing the offer in announcements. some people have uninstalled the app and went through the set up process all over again and received the offer that way. Someone on T-mobile said they got the offer 30 minutes later they updated T-mobile OTA already and was apart of the Samsung Pay Beta. If I were you I'd either try to uninstall and reinstall or just wait to see if it shows up if not You could try to add another card and delete it. The wireless chargers are on back order for now.

Has anyone gotten Google Assistant yet?

I know Google said that they were releasing Google Assistant to every phone running marshmallow and nougat.
Has anyone gotten the update or know a way to speed the process up?
I am running the unreleased nougat.
Thanks

Google announced Assistant will be coming to devices with an update to the play services. It's rolling out.
I myself haven't switched from the nonoffical nouget because it's a hassle to wipe and start over.
I haven't got the update on yet either.

I just haven't because temp root is trash. Only reason to root perm root and twrp custom rims also. Aosp on s7 would make it a lot cleaner faster more battery efficient but we will never get that on ANY FUTURE AT&T SAMSUNG DEVICES. Just switch of SAMSUNG device permanently or full unlocked noncarrier phones. Or switch carrier. That's what I plan on
Doing. Also all SAMSUNG s7s on a?AT&T only have 32 gb models which is BS because there are 128 4th models and android bought OS uses 9.9 GB leaving 20 for apps and photos. What they think applications are going to run through the cloud like nextbit robbin only phone that does it doubtful. So you can have barely any apps on all FUTURE Sammy devices. On art so I just switch of SAMSUNG. AT&T SAMDUNG devices are crap. Wish I still had my galaxy note 4 was way better and had root perm and rims last Sammy at&t device with it I bet.
Edit : lol typos from typing on cell carelessly led to an autocorrect of SAMDUNG

still no GA here. I have the t mobile variant on official N. I did receive a google app update on 3rd but it didn't have GA. some people appear to be getting and I have no idea how. An .APK dump with GA on it would awesome

It's under beta in the settings menu of Google play on Android 7 with and s7 edge... I got it there...Open Goole play then slide open your settings menu for Google play and under my games and apps it's under beta.... Or you may have to enable beta in the settings then search.. it's there! Make sure your play store version is the latest version and you should have a beta tab with Google under it which is the assistant....

I literally just got it a few minutes ago on my at&t edge

So I have both the beta and everything appears updated but it is not showing up. The only issue i have ran into is that the services where downloaded under two accounts on my phone.

Signed up to be a beta for both Google Play Services and the Google app early yesterday afternoon. Woke up to GA on my phone this morning. Not sure if it helped, but thought I'd mention it just in case.
Mid-Missouri region.

I got on two of my S7E. T-mobile and AT&T
Did anybody make to work from any screen? Mine are not working, i need to unlock my phones.
