Downloading now!
Same here! Whooo hoo! I hope to see improvements with the battery life and occasional lag.
Edit: It's taking forever to download.
Same here
5th Try
I have tried to update around 5 times. 2 of which I fully wiped the phone. I keep getting "upgrade failed", and installation interrupted. This is really frustrating...
Someone please save it before applying it and upload for those of us not so lucky to get it...as if there's so many Note Edges out they need to be selective...but thats' ATT
edit: it's downloading for me. I'll try to save it and upload 1.2GB sounds like a full rom not an update. None of my previous phones lollipop updates were this large!
Downloading right now! This makes up for not having root yet for att. Download is real slow though
It is taking over 2 hours to download.....
Downloading it now it is a snail paced download, hopefully fixing some kitkat issues.
I have an Outlook forced device encryption. What are all the "Must do" steps before I can install successfully? I'm sure it will fail based on past experiences. Txs.
Anyone have any idea when the Best Buy Samsung reps will get this update pushed to their system? I bought the regular Note 4 because I wanted Lollipop right away but I had to go to the Samsung kiosk at BB to get the update pushed to my phone. I was there last night at 10pm and they said that it was still listed as KitKat in the system. I'm hoping for something before my 14 days with the Note expires.
Took 4 hours to download.
Runs fast. Has the blocking mode exception. Battery life seems a little worse, for now. Maybe because I'm playing with it too much...

can you upload it im in canada and have the at&t N915A version but might not get the update here. http://cdn4.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon14.gif
Finally!! Took 2hrs to download for me. Been running it for about 4 hrs and it's definitely an improved experience. No lag, I can write using the stylus without the urge to throw my phone at a wall lol.. and it doesn't take a decade to view my recent apps. Its about damn time AT&T!
I wonder if this would be workable on a T-Mobile phone since Roms are usually interchangeable.
Issues so far
To all who have upgraded - Do you also experience the following issues:
Notifications do not show in the "briefing panel" any more
Floatification shows duplicate notifications
the night clock is too bright now due to the thicker font used
when I select an item on the S Planner panel it takes me to yesterday's calendar entries
Notifications on the Lock Screen cover the user information (could become a big deal because I have a message asking to call my wife's number if found)
Apart from that I like Lollipop but I hope the issues above can be resolved somehow.
UPDATE: Some of the issues went away after a couple of restarts I am MUCH happier already!
Thanks!
Second failed attempt here trying to download and install the update from AT&T onto my Edge.
And I have to wait another 24 hours to try again.
Anyone else having an issue trying to get this to install successfully?
Third times a charm, right?

Well, for me the download took about 1.5 hours, the update took about 30 min (including app updates) all went fine, settings seem to have carried over fine. (precautions I took were, left the phone on the charger, kept it on the same stable wifi connection, did not use the device other than checking on status, disabled lock screen pin)

Ok, just got the update notification now downloading 1% done
I just got the notification too.
I'm in Melbourne. it's on 2% only after about half an hour. My guess is that the servers are struggling
Got my upgraded just now. Soo far so good. Just testing out the apps and features. Gmail app is crashing a bit. Keyboard lag is much better
just woke up to find a download ready. Reasonably quick, guess not many people on at this hour If it fixes keyboard lag and nothing else I will be happy.
All installed and no issues so far.
Wifi good.
Bluetooth good.
No screen flicker issues.
App drawer is smooth scrolling in either orientation.
Keyboard lag seems to have gone.
All up, very pleased.
Wots the build no. Can any one tell me pls
I still looking 4 update.zip if anyone has captured it.

Well I've been using my A500 with ICS all day now. Absolutely love it! Feels like a brand new tablet! Factory reset got rid of all the junk I had accumulated, and ICS just feels so much more polished and complete.
No issues at all apart from browser sync (but I'm using chrome beta now anyway so I don't really care)

guess it isnt as big of a deal, usually sprint rolls these out over time so people who dont have it can sideload, but it seems like they pushed it 100% now. i flashed stock and immediately started to update
Maybe not, i couldn't get a link.
Total file size is 1016.85MB. Downloading it now on my Note 4 as I type this.
I'm so excited! Can't wait to update after work!
Boner...
Just updated. here are some observations that I've made based on the app's that I use on a day to day basis / general observations that I noticed. Smoother. Sweet 5.0 transitions. Contextual colors for the notification bar. Smart Lock (via Moto 360). New keyboard. New calendar: simply more lollipop-esque. It's awesome. Finger print scanner seems to have improved (which I guess I wouldn't be using as much because of smart lock). I usually use Hangouts bc the stock Messaging app was 1)too laggy 2)couldnt read multiple texts on Moto 360. With new update, i tried out the new messaging app. Lollipoped, AS smooth and fast as the the new Messenger app by Google and it allows me to read threads on my Moto 360. I'm sold. Camera app has been slightly tweaked. In Modes we now see fast and slow mo as options as opposed to going deeper into the settings to change it..And best of all: multi tasking capacitive button is finally faster. I never used it bc it was so slow to respond.
Im on rooted with stock recovery ...do I need to unroot to take the ota? Thanks

I am hesitate to update the phone, but do not know how to get rid of the notification. How is the post performance after the update? Would this make it harder to Devs to work on unlocking bootloader?
No noticable difference. Seems like the battery is lasting longer, but this is just taking off the charger at 7am this morning to 1130am right now, and with normal email/text and streaming music, with all on push, I am at 91%.
Oddly, it feels a little snappier. not sure on the bootloader tho. Honestly, I am so dependent on SP, that I have not rooted the S7e or the S6e. Love that feature enough to deal with other cons.

Same here. Use SP almost everywhere.
Battery seems worse for me. Couldn't care less about Samsung pay. It did enable FM radio.
Sent from my SM-G935T using XDA-Developers mobile app
No problems so far, battery seems about the same. You have to download a FM radio app of your choice from the play store to get FM and use your wired headphones for the antenna.
Battery was worse and phone started heating up very quickly after the update. Quick clearing of the cache partition in recovery seems to have done the trick though.
Anyone using the adb mod to enable internal storage and accepted an OTA? Does the update revert the mod or mess up an SD card setup as internal storage in any way?

I am able to unlock screen with fingerprint after update. Qurious thing was if I used a screen off app, I would have to enter the pin to unlock. If the screen times out or if I manually lock the screen with the power button, it will accept my fingerprint to unlock. Fingerprint also working with Samsung Pay.
I just updated but dont see the FM radio app. how do you access it?
Download one from the play store.

Never updating
I took it (without root, I've kind of surrendered and decided to see what a mindless conformist feels like :/). I gotta say, it has dramatically improved battery while inactive. I had misplaced it yesterday morning and when I found it in the late afternoon, it has only used 1% of the battery (at 99%). That's the second time I've noticed it.
I have to enter my pin after a reboot, but my print works fine after the initial entry, same as before the update.

Not sure what you mean by "safe" but typically you just use Odin to flash full stock 5.1.1, do a factory reset in stock recovery afterwards and you're done.

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews of Google Fi. Which phone are you going to go with? I've thought about replacing my Note 4 DE with the Moto X Pure when they run it on sale again (was $319 a few days ago). But the Droid Z Force also looks nice.

Not really the place to discuss it so I'll keep it brief.
My girlfriend has a Nexus 5X. The phone is amazing, updates are quick and common. It operates perfectly on marshmallow with no noticeable issues. We live in bum**** and she still gets service wifi calling and texting is fine, and no contracts. We pay about 42 a month for hers with insurance.
Well one thing I noticed (not sure if it was this update or the last one) is that when you pick an application to use (like browser) it becomes the default. With the old OS it would ask you to use just once or make it the default. Arrgggg I prefer to pick the application as needed and not make it the actual default.

The MM update made this change to default app handling. I liked the old way too. Now if I want to change the default app I have to remember which app was set as default before I can make the change. Sometimes remembering which app was set as default isn't easy to do.
Deleted. Think was in wrong thread.
Been a long time sense I've posted anything in this forum.
I just went back to the Note 4 and did the MM update and have noticed a heavy draw on the battery compared to LP. Am wondering if letting it did cycle through a few time might correct the battery drain. Was on an iPhone for awhile, but for personal reasons came back android. Has anybody tried that yet. Have been temped to hard reset and start fresh to see if it fixes it.
This update has increased the battery draw on mine and it is running HOT! Need help.
Would like to see opinions and benifits. I honestly tried using both and I don't see a difference whatsoever. Battery life is the same stutters here and there. Love to hear other experiences
Added the T-Mobile firmware cause it seems some ATT users have been using it. I am on it right now and seems okay so far only thing not working is WiFi calling. Not as much TM bloat. Ill update once I find out more.

the U firmware is much smoother on my end
Wonder what I am doing wrong. I do feel at times it is smooth. But the A firmware was the same. Ill give mine a couple of days
For me, no comparison, U is the way to go. Also the data toggle missing from the att firmware is pure madness.
Anyone have issues with texts having issues sending? At one time it took a minute to send some texts.

I have run the Tmobile version, the At&T version and the U version and all are the same. Battery Life is the same or close enough on all ROMs. The Tmobile one has the setting in a list and the AT&T one does the setting in tabs. the tmobile version also has Samsung cloud. But all in all I have not seen any big difference between them. If you use Package disabler pro you can debloat any of them so its not really an issue.
Better battery, and you can tether without a tethering plan.

That is the one with the September patch correct? If so YES you should. They both have the same bootloader. Keep in mind you can never downgrade a bootloader you are only able to upgrade.
I think it's slightly more smoother, better battery (I get an extra hour or two which I think it's worth it). Plus the added storage (I know we have SD) but it's still a plus. I think it's worth the switch.
Sent from my SM-G935U using XDA-Developers mobile app
I definitely have a much better battery life with the U firmware. Also, turning off all radios (Bluetooth, WiFi, data, etc.) Significantly improve stand by time. Sometimes I charge my phone to 100 percent before sleeping, so I turn everything off and after about 8-10 hours of sleep I wake up with about 97 percent. I typically start using my phone on a workday at about 10 and come home around 7. 10 hours of moderate usage, half hour drive to work streaming Pandora, then usually streaming music at work on and off plus normal app usage and light games, then 30 minute drive home streaming Pandora, I have typically 30 percent, sometimes 20 if I use it a bit more. That's much better then coming home to 10-15 percent when I had the ATT firmware. Both firmware's seemed to run smooth, but I feel like I've had a better experience with the Unlocked version. I'm never going back to carrier bloated firmware or phones. Unlocked from here on out
And to root this firmware is the same process as the at&t firmware?

The last U firmware is this G935UUEU4API3 , you can download from here "samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G935U"
Use this version of ODIN "d-h.st/gsDA ", this worked for me
I have the G935A and it keeps crashing and gets stuck in a boot loop and I have to do a factory reset to get it working again.
I was thinking about replacing the ROM and was wondering which would be the best alternative. I hate the AT&T bloatware.

No never had any lag at all. By far the smoothest of all three firmwares I have tried. You need to make sure you flash the right U firmware. There are different version of it out on Sammobile depending on which carrier you use. Also you have to make sure you completely factory reset your phone before you flash it. Also use the normal CSC file not the "Home CSC" so you get a completely clean install. I factory reset the phone from the settings menu, then booted into recovery and factory reset the phone from there as well.
Getting much better battery life. Normally only losing between 2% and 3% over 8 hours while I sleep. The AT&T firmware was more like 6% -10% for me. Also it is just faster.
