Asus support has confirmed on the app that the Zenfone 2 5.1 update is under final testing phase.
Here is the Source.
So, it's reasonable to expect Asus to begin the rollout within a week or two. What do you think?
I hope so because 5.0 it's very buggy...

Why? There had been an update every couple weeks it seems. Is 5.1 really that big of any update that it would take so long to implement? Aren't the point releases just bug fixes?

It generally takes every oem six months on average to push a new version of Android. Granted, this phone has been on the market a while, but less than 2 months for the US versions.

I hope that the battery drain, and heating issue will be solved by asus in 5.1
cant wait for this to drop guys,
I hate to say this, but this post is referring to a blog where the guy speculates and provides a chat screen as proof. That being said, I am optimistic that Asus will update us to 5.1 shortly but posting fake reports does nothing but create false hope. The blog referred to is just that a blog and the proof it provides, is just a guy asking the question and we have no proof that the other side of the conversation is an actual employee of Asus tech support...
I think it will happen pretty soon but if it does not, I am completely fine with my phone the way it is currently, as I am sure most of you are too.
Never ever go by what some chat rep says lol. What makes anyone think they actually have any idea as to when testing is done and when OTA releases can be expected?

Agreed.
Asus provides a year or two of Android updates to its devices. We will get 5.1 eventually and even Android M when that drops. Past that, it's up to the community to develop.
Don't know whether Asus will really release the update or not but this hell made its way to a lot of reputed websites Even if it is not true , Asus would be pressurized to roll-out the update as these reputed websites posted this news

Yeah... I saw that. Little skeptical though because once you trace the source back to handhelditems they say someone got that info from a webchat with Sprint. We all know to think twice about those! lol It does seem to line up with that April 9th update that's been floating around though. Who knows...
Hopefully this is true and not another april fools prank. It was about a week-week and a half ago they rumored it would release in the coming weeks. Fingers crossed.................
With all the sprint leaks we have been getting I think it might be getting close.
But who knows
I already have it thanks damage

don't worry, Sprint will just repackage one of the XDA roms as their own and use it as the official update
ive said it once ill say it again the april 9th update is a maintenance release to fix mms issues not 2.1
sprint hasnt told us anything beyond that
any new news on an "official" release date? im hearing either the 9th or 26th of this month? i don't get why sprint is soo tight lipped about this?
also when is the nexus & evo launching on sprint?

with alot of tweaking to do after the initial install, yes your right.
i hope when the final comes out and we get custom roms, we won't have to apply any fixes. this is one reason im back to 1.5 for now. i have faith in the devs here, they do great work!
Why do we keep creating threads on this issue. It is a waste of space. It will come when Sprint is ready to release it. They have never given an exact date. People get so pissed because they haven't sent an update. Well guess what. When you bought your phone it had 1.5. They are not required to update it to 2.1. Either use a custom ROM or shut up and wait until it comes out.Then when it comes on don't get on here complaining about how crappy the release is.
I have Fresh 2.0d and it is working very well.
----------------------------
Shut up and wait
Running: Fresh2.0d
Developing:WarpedMetal (T minus 2 weeks)
Just got out of a sprint chat. this is what they're saying
honestly no thread can "waste space" as well we have plenty of it. I wasn't complaining nor *****ing about it. I am more happy with the legend based roms then the leaked Sprint roms but when the official Rom hits it will help with more development to fix issues and get faster roms out there. honestly if you don't like these threads the easy thing to do is stay out of them. no one is forcing anyone to read the forum or a certain posts. forums are for talking that is there main and only reason for existing.
damn I hate trolls.

Does Sprint use any automated responses on the chat support? I know there's quite a few companies that do, the program just selects a basic response to generic questions about that subject, and it seems like the responses that are given by these reports are way too "computery" to be coming from a human. So I'm guessing that the system Sprint's chat support uses has a list of responses pop up based on key words in the client's question.
Probably way off base, but it'd almost make sense based on how similar the responses are in all these chat transcripts.
I have no idea about the validity of this. I ordered the very phone that this review is for. Any thoughts?

As long as it is indeed a n7000 u can get the official rom updates here and the awsome roms from the devs. I am using a german note with hk rom and getting hk rom updates via kies . No problem at all.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
That review is not correct.
I just received that exact phone last week, from Amazon. Each Galaxy Note has a region code to indicate where it came from (Mine was from the UAE). This code can be changed to any region you want. This will allow for a stock upgrade to ICS, when it comes out.
Also, just like the previous poster said, you can root and put any rom you want on your Note.
I am running the stock ICS beta, from January. For me, it is awesome. I am running at 213 DPI which gives me the tablet mode look.

So you neither discredit nor credit what is posted on xda and Amazon reviews nor do you place credibility on the opinions or facts of those places above what you personally believe which is based off the things you read which may or may not have any significant validity as to its claims, which is still eclipsed by the fact that you take everything with "a grain of salt" that is on the internet, which is the place you have come to with a question seeking an answer.
I think you should meet with an authority figure who you can't discredit, in person (to eliminate the internet factor), so you can get the facts.
I know the perfect person, he can be found in a mirror.
P.S. stay free
It'll get updated to ICS. Don't worry. But it will be layered with TouchWiz. In this year, Samsung will not be stupid enough to cut the cord on a 3 month old device. That would be pure suicide. The PR nightmare.
Basically true. My conclusions is derived from all the information I've gathered with consideration of credibility of the various sources.

Anyone here has any info on why there are not many reviews or hands on by any of the tech sites? We had more leaks and even reviews before the handset was released but even after 4 days of official announcement, there has not been much coverage about the device. Most of the tech sites only talk about the specs. That looks a little odd. Maybe there is some restriction on publishing reviews of the device till 13th?
Most likely the sites got their phones after the reveal on noonday, Androidcentral has got their unit and they were the ones who broke news about the GLONASS feature . Thus they need a couple of days to try it, probably under NDA until Google says so. They will probably time it with the delivery on the 13th or 17th or whenever it is supposed to launch they want to spread the hype over time to create mindshare and pick up some space in the news-cycle.

I read on a review site (forget where) that Google put a restriction that no official reviews can be published until this Friday... I think they want everyone to try the device for a longer period of time, which is better for us in the long run...

This is exactly why. If you read the Android Police teaser review, you'll notice he says he had to run somewhere in New York to pick up the review phone Google had. These are the phones they'd have handed out if the press event had happened as planned, but with Hurricane Sandy cancelling the event, things have been thrown a little off-track. I'm ok with that, too, because the reviewers will have more time with the phone and can give us a more in-depth review.

Man when Samsung shoots itself in the foot it really makes sure to use an AK47 and shoot the crap out of it.
So you are saying the next build will be ANK47.
And remember...that is just the international version...US Carriers will still be weeks or more behind that release.
assuming the person who wrote that article even knows what he is talking about; I didn't see any mention of an "official Samsung announcement"..
Not true already been comfirm by sources that this is incorrect infor, they stated that oculo does not get to modify the kernel let alone deleyed an updat. Also mant samsung reps stated we dhould receive lollipop this week.. multiple reps. Do thats a better jope.
O welll. Done waiting for It anyways. I'm rooting my device as soon as I can. Screw you lollipop. I would rather have my gear vr function properly than to have 5.0
Well I dont know about you peeps but I am actually buying the Oculus, so this delay doesnt quiet bother me, especially considering cm12 is running pretty well.
This delay has nothing to do with oculus why dont you guys do research before posting. Just another thread to get people the wrong idea to their heads..

agreed; Samsung never gave a specific date that they guaranteed this would be released to any of the US carriers..
reading/believe any thing on the internet just leads to false hope and disappointment, so my advice it to pay ZERO attention to anything you read about it on the internet, and if you want Lollipop so badly, there are several nice AOSP roms in the forums that will satisfy that craving for now.

Those in the beta program had to sign a non-disclosure agreement with ZTE. So close your eyes and imagine Nougat. That's what it looks like.
Can a moderator please close this thread? According to the NDA that somehow got posted on here, people that are a part of the beta program are not even allowed to tell people they are a part of the beta program. Fishing like this just seems to get people wound up over nothing.
