Yes. Sprint got it a month ago.
I was thinking that it was taking abnormally long too, but since AT&T and T-Mo haven't gotten it yet, it makes me wonder. Especially since part of T Mobile's Note 4s have it and the others don't. (The ones with a different model number have them, but the original model numbers don't.)
Perhaps they are fine tuning stuff for the Qualcomm models and used Sprint as a guinea pig since Sprint barely has any subscribers anymore, it probably makes a great lab rat!

It is quite possible they are just going straight to Marshmellow. T-Mobile announced 6.0 update soon, perhaps AT&T and Verizon are doing the same.

I don't think so! I believe that we won't get 6.0 update in 2015. It's most likely that US carriers (VZW, ATT, TMB, and USC) will follow the international variants and push 5.1.1 update in 2015 (probably, it's due in October) and wait too long for the next big thing (M) sometime in 2016, after releasing it for the 2015 flagships (S6 and its family) in the next few months. However, I hope you're right.
Verizon always seems to be last and not fair to the older phones in the cue. To me we paid out our cash way before the S6 owners , no offense. I think the S4 will be the cut off so, why not be fair and start from that. Verizon, at least on the phone and in the stores, always bring up loyalty, show it!
But I wonder if it has anything to do that Verizon is a CDMA system

Leaks seem to be a thing of the past...rarely see them anymore. The 2 new nexus devices won't ship for another 3-4 weeks and that is more or less the official unveiling of 6.0, even though other Nexus devices are getting updates starting now. Then about a month after that you will see other devices getting updated. Samsung has to incorporate TW, HTC has to incorporate Sense 7, LG - LG Home, so those will take a little longer.

I read some carriers in Canada are receiving 5.1.1 on Note 4 via OTA.
AT&T got it today. I'm guessing T-Mobile will be next and We'll get it in January.

I am sensing SUNDAY June 12th AT&T release of Samsung Galaxy Attain (almost 11 months after the Captivate)!!!
How long was it from when they made the announcement last year did the Galaxy S actually go on sale on AT&T?
Here you go, last years dates I posted earlier
kreoXDA said:
Do you guys remember how the first Galaxy was introduced on the 4 carriers last year?
Let me remind you
June 4th - first release in Asia
June 29th - launch party in New York City where it was first announced that 4 models were coming to 4 carriers, with no dates. (+25 days)
Later on, gradually, release dates were being announced about 1-3 weeks prior to a particular release. The phone was released as follows:
T-Mob - July 15th (+41 days)
AT&T - July 18th (+44 days)
Sprint, keyboarded CDMA version - August 30th (+87 days)
Verizon, CDMA version - September 9th (+97 days)
We learned that SGS1 was even coming to the United States 3.5 weeks after the phone was released in Asia.
The quickest provider T-Mob got it almost 6 weeks after the first country.
The slowest provider VZW - 3 months after.
So give this some time, sit back, relax, wait for bug reports from the UK beta testers , and enjoy your fixed (or maimed) version in a few short weeks.
peace

Note the US Launch party last year was 25 days after first international release, and this event is around 25 days after Korea/UK release
lol after dealing with the ATT Craptivate for a year I'll gladly "beta test" the vanilla samsung GS2
good luck with your carrier updates. I'm done purchasing US phones "variants" that force you to use reorient kernels for the Roms.
Thanks for the release date info. Looks like they're following a similar schedule... just bumped ahead 1 month from last year =)
Still, as much as I'd like to wait for a US variant... I don't really want to have to sign a contract to get one, nor do I want to put up with the bloatware and filth they put on the phone. Rooting and flashing ROMs on my T-mobile spec Galaxy S was annoying, having to ODIN back to certain firmwares before being able to flash a new ROM.
And the one question that I'm still wondering... will the US be getting a tegra version? That would suck =(

i've been off contract since Dec. i had originally settled on getting the Infuse when it was first announced but instantly fell in love with the SGS2 and decided to wait. but... i need a new phone NOW. actually i needed a new one 2 months ago but decided to hold strong for the SGS2... but it's come to a point where my current phone is damn near unusable, so i think i'm going to get the infuse when it launches and roll the dice on the sgs2 coming out before the remorse period ends. or failing that just give it back and wait some more for the sgs2 to release.
I think the best option for some of us is to buy the carrier branded version on contract, sell it, and use that money to get the vanilla SGS 2. After dealing with all the Captivate issues as well I'm never buying a carrier branded Android ever again.

That's one point where you're crazy. The Captivate is the nicest Galaxy S and has a lot less plastic than any other one. Everyone has told me they liked the Captivate over the other Galaxy S variants. I've been very happy with the Captivate, but not as happy about the AT&T branding and waiting for their crap.
I would much rather spend the money and buy the phone unlocked than buy it from ATT.

Only issue I see with this is warranty support. If Samsung US would support a UK model fine, but if it requires international shipping that would give me pause.
What if the US version has NFC? Would that change your mind?
Yes, NFC is useless right now, but wouldn't that at least lower your resell value of the UK version whenever one else in your area has NFC?

Given the fact (I hope) all 4 major carriers are getting it, and AT&T, VZW and T-Mob are in an NFC payment system alliance , the chances of US getting NFC versions are not extremely low

I don't see NFC being that important to me right away. I am guessing by the time it becomes important to me, I will already be looking at another phone.
Also, even though the UK might not be getting the NFC version, you probably will still be able to buy a NFC version unlocked from another country.
Hate to say it... but until the iPhone gets NFC it's not worth worrying about.
Devices still need to be upgraded in stores, airlines, and what not to accept NFC no? The above poster is probably correct, the phones are going to need to be widely available before companies spend the money to upgrade their equipment.

I just listened to Android Police podcast and they stated a rumor of the Nexus 6 coming to Verizon next year.
I know is just a rumor but I sure hope its not true and do not see how Verizon would be willing to lose all those potential sales.
What is your thoughts on this. I am willing to wait another month for the Nexus 6 but I cannot wait until next year.
Cheers!
No way
Ouch
If next year means January 2015, I'll wait. No problem there.
Verizon was the only carrier to not have an announcement or landing page of some sort. It's possible.
they need the extra time to make sure it is locked down for good.
Ugh... Hoping for some words of encouragement... Lol. Well at least I can hope that they'll let us know when pre order goes up on the 29th.
If they do not release until January then it might be worth it for me to jump ship from red to blue. ?
Typical VZW. They held up their Galaxy Nexus for a few months too. Hopefully this doesn't effect updates now that its one device for all networks.
VZ is listed on the N6 google page, it has the bands, VZ is just being VZ.
Since the phone is one model for USA and one for worldwide, the general consensus right now is it will be unlocked, even on VZ, may have been a terms of agreement to get it.
But we'll have to see.
as to one month versus next year, I could wait, my GNex is running fine on KK, if I can wait three years to get to this point, another 6 months is not a far stretch.
Maybe buy on Google Play... Than use on Verizon with a little hacking? H'm

I'm pretty sure they clarified it was a joke in reference to Verizon's handling of the Galaxy Nexus somewhere on the website, I think I saw it in one of the comment sections.
That's some good news. I know we'll all have to wait to see.... But this information helps me feel ok about waiting.
Honestly my biggest worries was that they had a source or a potential source with information that we did not have
Look at it this way.... The longer you wait the closer we get to an announcement of a device running a 64bit 810 Qualcomm kit. If VZW does delay things long enough to see that come around I'll wait.
After the last Verizon/Nexus disaster, I'm really surprised is coming to big red.

I could care less about lollipop honestly. My Note 4 is butter.
Doesn't anyone read anymore? By that I mean the history of US carrier updates vs. international updates. We go through this EVERY OS upgrade. International phones are unlocked with no carrier bloat or needed approvals. Samsung can push the OS updates right to them or through Kies. The US Carriers receive the proposed update from Samsung, it then gets a pile of bloat that the carrier wants added to it, it goes back to Samsung for that and Samsung testing, then sent to the US Carrier for testing....IF...IF all is well, then the carrier then decides when is the best time to push out the update...maybe it is strategically approximated just AFTER a new phone comes out hoping people will rush to get the new device already updated....maybe it would be a slow period when they know they can dedicate their customer service to anyone out there having problems with the OTA...bottom line is it takes quite some time after the international phones get their update before any US Carrier sees it. And luckily for you guys it is usually Sprint and T-Mobile that stay ahead of that curve...my guess is the locked bootloaders and security on the other 2 carriers slows them down.
I Think you know already that no one reads anymore!

the latest flavor of Google's mobile operating system is now available for the GS5 in Poland, blog site SamMobile said Wednesday. Poland has been used by mobile device makers as a starting point to test out new Android updates before it spreads around the world. As such, the Polish launch is a good sign that Lollipop should soon start to pop up in other regions.
The Polish version of the Galaxy S5 has the same model number as the version used in Europe, according to blog site SlashGear, which means European users could be next on the list. Samsung is also likely to launch Android 5.0 in its home base of South Korea at some point in the near future.
A similar scenario has played out with LG's G3 smartphone. Owners of the phone residing in Poland were first on the list to receive a bite of Lollipop. Just a couple of weeks later, G3 owners in South Korea started seeing the update appear on their devices. Android 5.0 could reach GS5 owners in other regions before the month and year are over.
The US is a different story, however. Android updates in the US can take awhile as they have to be tested by not only the device makers but also the mobile carriers who must also certify and plan the rollout. As such, Galaxy S5 owners in the US are unlikely to get a lick of Lollipop until 2015.

There is a lot of talk about VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling coming to the Nexus 6.
T-Mobile has talked about Wi-Fi calling for months, and now on Phandroid the are saying Android 5.1 is shipping with VoLTE on the Verizon Nexus 6 on March 12. http://phandroid.com/2015/02/26/exclusive-verizon-nexus-6-march-12-android-5-1-volte-support/
At MWC, Google talked about a MVNO that didn't compete with the Big 4, yet it just pushed boundaries. There was talk of VoLTE and calls automatically reconnecting when they are dropped.
What if Google is planning on pushing 5.1 and their MVNO on March 12, starting with VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling support for the Nexus 6? Just an idea.

For verizon to launch on the 12th with 5.1, google is going to have to drop 5.1 into ASOP earlier than that. They can do an OTA on the 12th but they are going to need to release the code before hand so the verizon phones will have the update.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I'm tempted to go to my local Verizon store and play stupid to see if they have any in the back you'd be shocked at what you can pull at the local Verizon stores... I used to be on the Big Red when I first started developing, I hard bricked my phone twice, both times they replaced it free of charge because I played stupid
T-Mo local stores typically know what they are doing, actually. I go there about once a month and the workers and I talk all about Android news and stuff we see on XDA and other developing stuff when there's no other customers in the store hahaha

Indeed! I've been using the high end Galaxy phones and tablets since the early days, and they've consistently screwed us on updates. One thing we can count on is that Samsung will give us the updates last, if we get them at all.
Yeah I'm not sure I'm going to get th s8, although sprint has me on the galaxy forever plan, I can get a new one every year and trade in my current one. I was really banking on google bringing the pixel to all carriers but these butt heads went Verizon only or buy unlocked. Maybe the next pixel phone will find its way on all carriers so we can lease it.
Apparalently the next Pixel may have waterproofing, but no edge. But tempting becuase of how bad Samsung is with keeping their devices up to date.

I'm done with Samsung after this, didn't even want this phone to begin with, got it because of the note 7 recall, and I've hated it since day one. Leave it to s**tsung to make a good phone you can do nothing with, And this wait for an official update is a f***ing nightmare. I thought I'd be happy getting rid of my G3, but I've never missed it more. Should have known not to trust Samsung again, but this will be the last time I make this mistake. Really tempted to sell this pos and just get a pixel.

Hey bud. I called sprint and verified. I'm still eligible to get the newest Samsung every year with no fees..Each phone has to hit the year mark. Literally just got off the phone.

I'm leaning same boat man. I'm not certain I'll get the s8 plus or another Sammy device. This s7 edge has left a bad taste in my mouth. But I dang sure won't buy an iPhone. I need sprint to come out with more Android selection
It's not samsung at all, blame sprint. They suck for updates, samsung does it's job, we would have it (nougat) but fing sprint.

Nothing for Tmobile for an update yet. Last we know it went into testing mode 2 weeks ago. Sprint was suppose to roll and update this month for LTE 3 carrier aggression. Who knows when we will get updated now. T-Mobile S7 users on Marshmallow are still on November security patch.

It's all Samsung. Not Sprint. Even the G935U (Unlocked US) have not received the update. Samsung hates Americans, LOL! But really, I don't understand how Apple and Google can update the entire world on the same day and Samsung can't. Even their sorry excuse for voice (S Voice) or Cloud (Samsung non-existent cloud that can't be accessed through an internet site, only your phone....so **** if something happens to your phone...) is disheartening. I miss my Note7. It was running Marshmallow. I would just be happy if Samsung brought the UX to the S7. Same processors, same ram....should've pushed a Touchwiz update a long time ago. But they have our money and they really don't care about the US. We are a speck of their Asian customers with their billions in population. Plus, the FTC has to approve **** here left and right, and then the carrier bull****. They have to make a different update for each carrier and their bloatware. If only I could get the Honor 8 or P9 to work on Sprint, but their network is ****. Maybe the Verizon unlimited plan is exactly what I need.
