No, Samsung hasn't promised any such thing!
This is fan site rumour only.

As long as it will remove the painful wifi issues, I don't care about all the fancy bells'n'whistles.....

Anybody used firmware 4.2.2. for S4? Is it buggy or stable enough? If there are too many bugs, I prefer rather stay with the current 4.1.2 version.
Best regards,
Tom

I don't have any wifi problems with my Note II. Only the lockscreen is laggy. I hope they will fix it with 4.2.2

Note II doesn't have Smart Stay?

cool.

what about Photosphere ?

I think that I do the same things as you do: calling, playing games :silly:
I experience the lockscreen as not smooth.

Well, it seems to affect users very randomly. There are quite a few on the forum having the "dropping wifi speed" issue, while others seem to have no wifi issues at all. And I believe there's no particular model that's more affected than others (branded, unbranded, international, etc). I've noticed the phenomenon on other web forums as well, and people are generally pretty fed up with Sammy's inability to come up with a fully working fw. Myself, I had a bit different issue when 4.1.2 was first released. The phone was most often totally unable to hook up with any wifi. After Sammy's latest fw release, that particular issue was finally adressed. However, the issue with dropping wifi speeds after random uptime, was NOT! To this day, the fw I hold in highest regards, is the initial one (4.1.1). Now I'm hoping for the 4.2.2 to be the final salvation....

We will be getting 4.2.2 in June

I don't think camera features are'pointless' just because you are not someone who shoots frequently. If you check around, majority of this who want 4.2.2 and those who bought s4 really considered the camera improvements as a major factor.

Yeah some of the features are really cool! And I much prefer the S4 interface with preview and everything.

Looking forward to the update ive played with the s4 camera its fun although the only thing i have used my camera for is submitting portals for ingress haha

Rogers Lollipop 5.1.1 Update "Coming Soon"

Rogers has updated their rollout schedule to state 5.1.1 is coming soon, previously it was simply June.

Follow me @ootpapps for more timely Android updated for the S6!

Coming soon sounds worse than a definite month like June.

No, they set it to coming soon when it's near approach date. This happened with the Nexus 5 update.
Coming soon means within days or a couple weeks at most, it's their lowest date range.

Why did Rogers have anything to do with a Nexus update?

Seriously? They issue the update to customers with Nexus 5's. I'm referring to Rogers update schedule... It was the same case with the Nexus 5 update from Rogers, it was previously a month, then it said coming soon...

Nice! Cant w8 (hehe, name of our model)

How long before this phone is stuck with some horribly out-of-date version of Android? You know there's a problem Microsoft is beating you on updates.

If you're asking this question seriously, I would say probably right around when the S8 rolls out. The S4 got 5.0.1 a few days after the S6 was released - so it seems like we get about 2 years of update coverage. That seems pretty reasonable to me for a two year old flagship (or more than reasonable, given that I last about 6 months per phone).

looking forward to it , i just hope pinpong root will be supposed

I think they may mean whether or not the new ROM has it... I don't think Rogers does anything but add their bloat to the ROM, so, chances are it's got the bug.

Would you think its still worth getting an S6 even with this flaw? I have an upgrade on Rogers, and the S6 seems like the best option. However, I feel this bug may drive me crazy.

Seems like the international variant 920F and T-Mobile 920T had their updates.... still waiting for the canadian variant!!!!

I honestly don't understand all the rage over this. I don't have an issue with the memory management, however I don't flip between apps like a spaz or fret over five different memory managers like some people seem to do.

The issue is that the S6 has to keep reloading apps, Say you open a webpage on chrome, then exit to another app. switching back to chrome will reload the page, when the page was supposed to be stored in memory.
The problem is that for a premium device which costs 600+, there should be flaws like this.

Samsung’s software update policy is seriously messed up

2 days ago they did say the update will come out but still nothing what is wrong whit Samsung?
What do you guys think of Samsung's software update policy?

Samsung would like to wait in the Galaxy S7 release...
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk.

Nothing for you, no. They have started though. They've released more versions for the Korean variants. So no, not nothing.

They published an article today in and stand him more global updates to let go of that for new flagship will be.

It sucks

They don't care. It's all about the money.

Over the past couple of years their update policy has gotten much worse than it use to be.
Samsung seem to focus more on hardware than software & it's getting that way if you want the latest version of Android you got to buy their latest Smartphones.
Once the S7 is released in just over 3 weeks time, the S6 while still being one of the best smartphones out there even in 2016, will be all but forgotten & put on Samsung's back burner, you get 6.0.1 but don't expect anything else for a very long time after.
Marshmallow 6.1 is due out in the Summer the S7 will see this at some point, the S6 will have to wait until around early 2017.
Android N
The Note 6 will be the first to see this, the S7 will get it in 2017 probably after the S8 is launched, the S6 will probably still be waiting for Android 6.1.

Update suck big time. But i still enjoy holding the premium smartphone, vibrant 2k display, 35ms touch response, good cpu.
I wish to have cm 13 as daily driver, probably not gonna happen.

I think he's trying to say that they will delay global updates until their new flagship sells.

Exactly. they do not care about their existing customers and only want new customers. They are only interested in converting Apple users to Samsung and neglect us. Then they cry on their phones not selling!
I wish i could show them some light!

Although S6 is best android phone I've owned (hardware, fit in hand, sexy bezel), this is the last Samsung I'm buying. I've previously owned N4, N5 and OnePlusOne. This is beyond ridiculous. Google should put out a update policy on every android manufacturer.

But hey, maybe, just maybe, we'll be next? Though I'll probably wait anyway....See what sort of bugs are present and whatnot.

No. It's your DUTY as a member of this forum to ODIN flash and pre-test ALL beta-leaks that are made available.

Yes, sir! xD
I wish there WAS a leak of the firmware lol I'd gladly test it and report what I could find.

Actually the only ones it shows NOT in testing and still in Developement are the Note 4, Note Edge and tab 2. All others are complete or in testing.

Within the NEXT 2 WEEKS MM goodies will be delivered.
{This is a guess on my part and in no way implies I have a inside source named Frank who tells me all this stuff a month or two in advance. Frank did NOT tell me last month that first the Sixes would see the update followed closely by the N6 with about a 2 week break then N4. He also didn't tell be the the Note 6 has 6 GB of RAM. This is all just figments of my imagination.}

I think we can all agree that Samsung skips the testing phase and just pushes out whatever they developed, bugs and all.
Actually it was worse with my nexus. Official builds were basically Beta until CM or other device cleaned them up.

Android Updates broken even with the nexus line

So I have a Nexus (6) device, and i thought that if i get a nexus device i will receive updates the day that they are released. It's been 2 days and i still can't update my phone to the latest version. I'm not talking about OTA here, I'm talking about factory images that are not released yet. 3 phones google has to update, 3 phones that they made!! 3 and they can't even manage that? It's pathetic really, this is the last nail in the coffin for me, after 6 years of being an android fan i will switch to ios and buy the iPhone 7. Honestly i cant wait for my phone to get updates when they are released and to be supported for 4 years!

be patient my friend

I dont like it either but buying an iphone?

Surprised 2 days of waiting so far makes you this angry... I mean I could understand the anger at waiting over a week but 2 days? Wow...
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Since they never announced a release date, you can't really say they're 2 days late. Unlike iOS each phone is different hardware from a different manufacturer. If you'd feel better they could be like Apple and push the release back till all their devices are ready. Which is all and good, till the shoe is on the other foot and your devices' update is ready and you're left waiting for the other devices.

Not saying you rant post is cool just commenting that this might be the strangest roll out so far. Usually they have them all at once. It's a little weird. Gotta say even apple beats them at this

I'd rather wait a week after rollout to get a fully cooked update rather than an immediate update that drains my battery in 1hr or turns my phone into a paperweight.
Patience. If you're so eager just install the Dev Beta. and play with that until the update comes out.

Second maybe. Remember the MM rollout with the new factory image every other day situation? For awhile there nobody had any clue why there were multiple different MM images. Every time i installed an image it seemed like a new one was up as soon as i finished. When it was confirmed it was for different carrier tweaks it all made more sense, maybe they are trying to avoid that this time around.

Ask SAMSUNG fanatics how long they wait to get the new OS. ?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I am only guessing but perhaps there is a bug in the final release. Maybe something they are working on before we get it. I would rather wait a few days if that be the case.
The preview 5 is fairly close to the final version so there won't be much changes. (I have a Nexus Player and it has already updated. Frankly the only change I noted was the Beta program warning not there anymore.)

Hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer.
