So I plug my phone into my laptop at work and, to my surprise, VZW Update Assistant launched notifying me of an update. Sure enough, it's the Lollipop update! Let me know if any of you Big Red guys received this as well!
Stop playing with us.

Seriously? I checked for updates (OTA) and there's nothing found.

I have Samsung Kies and VZW Software Update Utility on my laptop. As soon as I plugged my phone in a message in the lower corner of the screen popped up saying an update was available.

Not a problem at all, my friend!
Surprise! The download/update started 3 hours ago and now has failed. I go to start the repair option and it said my phone is not charged enough to repair. WONDERFUL.
Ah! I just got a reimaged Verizon Note Edge back from Samsung (it had developed a line of dead pixels and was fixed) ... Kies 3 keeps saying the device is not supported, and when I plug it in the Verizon Software Update doesn't pop up.
EDIT: Surface Pro 3 doesn't have enough amps for this device ... got it working when I plugged in to the dock.
thanks man for the reminder. only wish it was 5.1.1

Not a problem. I was thinking that VZW may have been holding off on 5.0.1 and update us right to 5.1.1. Wishful thinking, I know. Now all we need is root.
Just updated without wiping. Going on an hour of updating a lot of apps, reactivating advanced calling, and making a few tweets. So far it's running decent after 5 or 6 restarts. Thanks for the heads up!!! Definitely wish that it would have been 5.1.
Funny thing is the Edge beat my girlfriends Droid Turbo that is getting the soak test as we speak. I used to have a turbo and got the soak and was pissed. Now she is pissed that I have lollipop. Lol.
Finally!
I used Verizon update asst. 25 mins I was all updated.. Kies takes forever.

I fought with the verizon program and I was able to recover my edge to lollipop after it had soft brick. Running the program as an admin finally got it to see the phone again when it was stuck in download mode. Just a note for any others having issues.

Kies and Verizon Software Assistant
Both Kies and Verizon Software Assistant bricked my phone, in both cases they got to around 50% and then an error. I was able to fix by downloading the firmware (I could only find this on one SLOW server) and flashing myself using Odin.

I looked at Sammobile for an unupdate for N910T and I did not see anything - the only thing listed is the Original Stock Tar for this phone - maybe they haven't updated yet?
Maybe just for octa core version?

People, there is no update.
Well there is one, but it's for the general international version. As history has taught us these devices get updates the first. T-mobile has to decide if they will implement this update (which they normally will) but this usually takes weeks (or months).

Yup, got this one as well. Definitely going to try my best not to fall for this one too. I'm assuming this is all related to KNOX which I never have wanted, do not want currently, and never will want in the future.
It honestly looks like they are trying to possibly patch something. Maybe a possible root exploit? Lol
Agreed, I seen similar posts mentioned in the Q & A section here and about people with Dev phones going ahead and taking the updates.
Personally, I will not accept any update regarding security, ect... period due to the comments listed. I don't trust Samsung or Verizon as they are obviously determined to block any attempt at achieving "root" on this device if that even becomes a reality.

At least they sort of explained what it was finally. It does look like a way to update blocks to root exploits.

Yeah, I got it to. I took it will no ill effect. The security updates that come through the Play Store will not effect an unlocked bootloader in the case of the Developer Edition Note 4s and will not cause a rooted phone to loose root. The Play Store update is only an update to the security app that comes stock on all Note 4s.

I don't have that one in the play store, though it comes up at least once a day through the phone.
So.. Anyone can confirm what this update do?
Questioned Samsung on Twitter and FB
When I questioned Samsung on this, I received two responses. The first that it was a third party app they don't support. The second was that they were looking into it. It has since disappeared from my list of updates.
I believe this is the service that gets updated. I have not been able to find it in the okay store either. Saw it once when it auto updated on me, not since.
I'm pretty sure it's the app itself that's getting the update. What would be considered sneaky is if they update the app and changed the policy so they can force a security update without you agreeing to it.
Hi all - T Mobile USA Lollipop N915T has been released on the Sammobile site! DLing now, then need root. Its a good day....

damn, my OTA is not working, device modified.. heading to sammobile
I thought there was a 5.02?
I updated mine yesterday and it seemed a bit buggy/laggy here and there so I did a factory reset and now my battery won't charge with phone on. It goes down 1% every 5 minutes or less. It will only charge with phone off and the it dies like 2 percent just booting up.
Tmo support says 5.0.2 is what should be what we are updating to, not 5.0.1?

Mines 5.0.1, battery is still pretty good, just slightly less than what it was on KitKat, super smooth running though

[EDIT] I answered my own question - realized there's a thread about this.
That lollipop was huge, took the edge awhile to suck it in. For a while I thought it had shocked
Sent from my SM-N915T using Tapatalk
Nothing but problems since I've upgraded..
Download and install went fine, but after it booted up for the first time, the battery would die 1% every couple minutes. I plugged it into the charger at work that I've used for months (nexus 5 charger) and it died even faster. I tried a factory reset and it still kept happening and the battery completely died. The only way it would charge is when the phone was off. So I waited a longggg time until it had about 15% and did another factory reset.
The phone seemed to work fine after the 2nd reset. Right now, certain apps will take a long time to open such as gallery. It doesn't force close. It just freezes and I have to press home button to cancel opening the app. Everything else works fine and battery life seems good.
I realized my LG charger at work that I've used for months now does not charge the phone. It will no longer charge the battery. I have the spare battery I got from Samsung with the 50% off any accessory deal. Neither battery will charge with any charger that isn't the fact charging samsung one. when it is plugged in, the battery depletes rather than charges. It will charge if the phone is off but very very slowly.
Laggy
Wow, lollipop is lagging hard. My edge is crawling AND I can't tap speaker when I answer calls on the edge, anyone else with same issue?
I noticed u have to slide the speaker shortcut on the edge like how u answer calls
Just got a notification for a software update, doesn't say what its for... Anybody know before I take the plunge???
You'll have to check with AT&T. I already updated, still 6.0.1. AT&T usually posts more specifics on their website. I'm trying to find it now, I'll post the link if I do.

On another board, someone mentioned that it included activation of the FM radio, but I cannot confirm that.

WELCOME TO VERIZON,talk about a double-edged sword:
Great coverage & network (YMMV of course),but,man the rest of their practices,not to mentionusing the bastard CDMA technology,is more than anyone should have to tolerate,especially when no real viable options are available.
Can you not disable VZW's bloatware (VZW apps)?
At minimum,I'd disable DT Ignite,not sure if that will help in the nagging,but,it's one less crapware app needlessly running on your phone..............

I came from a Note 4 and then S7E to the V20. AMOLED has such a tremendous saturation of colors that no LCD will ever be able to compete on that front. But, the brightness level and clarity is about the same. But it has taken me a few days to get back to accepting this as the new norm. Everytime I load CoC I think something is wrong until I remember I'm on a new device.
I took the update. I think it got rid of app pinning in recents.

The IMEI is a unique identifier for your phone,no two phones will have the same IMEI,regardless of carrier &/or model:

If you're asking how to find your IMEI,look in SETTINGS > ABOUT PHONE > STATUS
