According to Pocket-Lint, Android 6.0 update is set to land on the Note 4 next month.
Of course.... who knows when VZW will acquiesce. Can't wait to move up from KK to a decents OS. :good:
Knowing Verizon they will be the last ones to release it. I'm betting we don't see it until at least April or may.
I doubt it will land on our devices in February. The international Note 4 will be getting it in February however.

If you recall, last year our Lollipop update came after some carriers updated the GS4, GS5 and the Note 3. That stupid virtual reality porn headset thing (oh, you can use it for stuff other than porn??) delayed our update.
Let's hope something comes up and delays it for the Note 5 and the GS6. LOL
I'm not going to hold my breath.
Me neither. They just released 5.1.1. It'll be months and months before they can be bothered to release marshmallow.

I still don't even have 5.1.1 and yet it was officially released from Verizon. I'm heavily considering going to a Nexus 6P or waiting to see what the next Nexus phone is in 2016. I love my Note, and will seriously miss the S Pen and note taking capability but I really hate how much unnecessary control Verizon has over the phone I own.
Samsung has delayed their Marshmallow upgrades by two months. Woohoo! I'm assuming the update will roll out the week after my last Edge payment when I switch phones. :eyeroll:
Then again, maybe that is a blessing. Usually the last update they give to a device is the one where they royally screw up the software to the point that you want a new phone anyhow.

I got the Note 4 for the large screen and the S Pen. It was only after using it a few times, I realized that my handwriting is terrible, I have no artistic talents at all, and the S Pen makes each of these more apparent. I haven't removed it from it's little home inside the phone since. The large screen is nice, though my screen has all sorts of quality control issues.
I too would like my next phone to NOT be tied to Verizon. I was fortunate in that I was able to get back to 4.4.4 when I realized what a train wreck 5.01 was, but it annoys me to no end that they let people sit with that on their phones for six month while trying to blame user habits for all of the issues with battery life and crashing. Total scumbag corporation move. I would leave Verizon if I could, but they're the only game in town here. Just the other day, I was explaining to my wife that my main reason for not liking this phone is that I've had it for a year and three months, and there hasn't been a useful update to it. The only updates for it have been awful.
My contract is up in October, and I'll be looking at Nexus and whatever they have at that point. Either that, or some other phone that will allow some control over what's on it.
I haven't attempted to update yet. I'm still on 4.4.4. I'm not going to update until I'm 100% sure that my phone will end up on 5.1.1. Even better if a safe upgrade path is created at some point.
I've upgraded to 5.1.1 and have not had any issues whatsoever. One thing I do though is perform a full factory reset after a major upgrade. Never had issues by doing this. I make sure my important stuff is backed up to SD card or Google drive. All apps auto install when prompted.

You might have answered this with saying Verizon is the only game in town but have you looked into Project Fi? It runs on Nexus devices and uses Sprint/TMo, I get a pretty nice employee plan with Verizon currently or I would gladly make the switch to Fi, a lot of friends back home in Michigan have and they say the service is awesome.
Still no 5.1.1 btw lol

I'm not sure if that's available where I am. I'd have to look in to it. I too get a decent discount on Verizon through my employer, and I'm stuck on this phone until the end of October. After that, I'll do my usual looking at all of the options, to find the best one. Unfortunately, cell phone providers aren't that good where I live. None of them are as good as Verizon was when I lived in the Chicago area a few years back.
Last night after talking to Verizon tech support again about not having the 5.1.1 update, I factory reset my phone after backing it up, and once I had it restored I checked for the update, it was there. In case anyone still wants it that doesn't have it, give that a try. Samsung Kies worked well for my backup/restore.

Looking for a way to maximize my final premier upgrade benefit.
My eligibility just kicked in effective today.
Currently using an evo 4g. Don't really have any issues with it, but the upgrade is there, tempting me. If I upgrade now, it'll be another 22 months before i'm eligible. If I wait til summer, something newer and faster will be out.
Suggestions?
You'll be eligible to upgrade in 20 months... and like everyone will tell you: yes there will always something new as soon as you buy something now that will be better... if you need a new device or need to scratch that itch of upgrading then go for it... you wont be able to upgrade again for at least 8 more months (12 mo from gold status -20 regular upgrade) if you miss your current chance
My understanding of the changes was that premier gold could upgrade anytime in 2012 if they're eligible now?

There is no premier gold or silver anymore
No reason to quote if replying to a post directly above.
I know there's no more premier. However, my understanding from reading http://premier.sprint.com/premierupdate/faq.php#goldupgrade suggests that gold members have through the end of 2012 to exercise their upgrade.
Why not just call Sprint to verify? And if you can wait...LTE is around the corner...sort of.
Well the only phone really worth upgrading to right now is the Epic Touch 4G in my opinion.
It's a pretty slick phone, but I was disappointed it was released so late. The SGS2 European counterpart had been available for over half a year before it even came out.
If you check the development forums, the phone has a lot of good support and roms, but no true AOSP roms yet.
Unfortunately, the next Sprint flagship phone likely won't be out until next June or July, if history repeats itself, which it has over the last 3 years.
I've also been sitting on an upgrade since June, been tempted by the EVO 3D and Epic Touch before, but I've managed to hold off.
I just hope they at least announce something tangible about the next Sprint flagship device within a few months.
Getting ICS on our phones will make the wait a bit easier to take, I think.
^^Agreed. The ET4G does look like a nice phone, but wouldn't mind something with a higher resolution too. Lack of AOSP is a big issue on that phone too. After running cm7 for the last 6+ months, I doubt I can go back to anything else.
If I wait til the july launch of whatever is next, at that point I'd be 5 months away from the 20 month upgrade period anyways. Seems either way, the annual upgrade this time around will likely go to waste.

I am 100% in the exact same position. Got my Evo on release day and have been sitting on an upgrade since June. The Evo 3D was not the exponential leap I was hoping for and the initial locked bootloader made me hesitate. I thought I was destined to get the Galaxy Epic but LOS scared me off then Samsung's usual slow response to the problem sealed that "no go" for me. I'm sure they are both great phones but if I'm going to be stuck for two years, I want that big leap in technology like the OG Evo was. Now Sprint is updating to LTE and they are going to be releasing a bunch of LTE ready phones by the 2nd or 3rd quarter 2012. I don't see any "gotta have it now" phones currently and with this incredible dev. community, I can see and test all the latest software anyway.
Frankly I hope the next HTC superphone on Sprint will LTE ready, thin, have a quality build (take some design queues from the Evo Design), be ICS bug free, have a great screen, be as future proof as possible (yeah I know) with a quad-core processor and most importantly, beat whatever specs. the Iphone 5 ends up with. Well that's my wish list; what's yours?

I called and talked to a rep last week. He had no information either. I've been (im)patiently waiting since the day Google announced the phone. I was only a couple of days away from being able to upgrade, and had my mind set on a Note 4. I've been getting more frustrated every day, as one of my co-workers went and looked at the N6 at the freaking US Cellular store. US Cellular! They have it before Verizon... I'm concerned that Verizon is taking all of this time to lock the phone as tight as the Note 4, which is still un-rooted on VZW. I live in a small rural area where our ONLY coverage is VZW and USC.

Thank Samsung for that. I don't know why anyone thought differently given the Note 3 bounty is *still* outstanding. And with Android L's change wrt kernel and root...odds are it will never be rooted.

Oh, I agree somewhat. Knox blows. Samsung Touchwiz is my least favorite. BUT, the Note 4 is rooted already for the other carriers in the USA, but even (last I checked) over $11000 worth of bounty for root access on the VZW version hasn't had any success. If that was because of Samsung, the Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T versions wouldn't already have root access. The Note 4 hardware is amazing, we just need the ability to put different software on it. I hate Verizon... I may switch to US Cellular someday. They historically haven't had flagship phones available until the last year or two. But, there still isn't much in the way of Dev support here for their phones. What good is a monster phone if we can't hack and crack a bit? LOL

Half the problem with dev support is the insistence that every USA carrier have a unique SKU and mutually incompatible firmware. Which leads to community dev fragmentation to the max. Which is squarely on the manufacturer to blame. Knox and the locked bootloaders are also on the manufacturer. With Samsung's mobile division bleeding oodles and gobs of money this year, maybe Samsung will mend their ways.
Samsung's problem is that they went from making 2-3 high quality handsets under one brand (Galaxy)....to making dozens of handsets each with 5+ different unique carrier/region-specific SKUs.
An announcement on the 31st on when Nexus 6? What that it can be pre ordered in March or something and maybe 1,000 available
There are two golden rules you should keep in mind when speaking to ANY type of VZW rep:
1 - they have absolutely no information on the phone, its release or anything else related to it - plain and simple.
2 - they have been instructed to try to keep you on VZW, so anything of a delaying comment that will keep you hanging on while the first rule is in effect works for them, not you.
The phone only has two SKU's - We're going to find that VZ will allow it on the network (because they have to) and they won't sell it.
I said it first, and time will bear it out. I hope I'm incorrect. the only thing that will indicate it is here on VZ is a press release or seeing it on the website by magic, period. Anything else is just pure speculation and wishing.
Well, heres to pure speculation and wishing...:highfive:

It is extremely unlikely at this point that Verizon will carry this phone in stores. That has been the speculation from the very beginning. Big Red will allow it on its network, but will never sell the device.

I just talked to my inside business rep and she just found out that it is not being released until February. Pretty pissed!
Winter is coming...
Be ready cuz its coming... The Motorola Droid Turbo 6! It will be full of bloat and skinned in the most obnoxious Motorola overlay. I'm sure it will have all the same specs with maybe a faster processor. It will have 5 different Verizon logos plastered all over it. Of course the bootloader will be locked and we will never see root!... God I love Verizon!
I just had a meditation session with my spiritual king. He let it be known to me that Verizon will release the Nexus 6 in... and then the session ended. I'll try again tomorrow.
The number of people posting their opinions as fact in this thread is hilarious. Nobody knows anything, period.

Why wait? Buy one from another carrier, swap Sims.

We probably wont see any Nexus 6 in stores at all. Nobody has the Nexus 6 locally on any carrier cause its sold out.(I've checked, XMas present.) If Verizon wanted the sales they would have already done it.
When i went into Verizon to get a nano sim for my N6 they didn't even know wtf it is. They're like oh that's not going to work on our network... I had to walk them through what to do to get my device working.
Well big V is going to start blocking calls ...So I bought an N4 on ebay last night to tie me over until the N8 comes out. I suspect there will be many of us coming home.
Looking forward to getting back into the customization game again. haven't done it much since my N2.
Hopefully it's gotten easier
same here. the note 4 from ebay arrives today. time to locate a rom for it - any suggestions?
btw, the rep who submitted my cancellation form today reluctantly admitted i can keep the note 7 at my own risk.
We had a good run, but I reluctantly re-activated my Note4 a couple minutes ago and will be*sending my Note7 to meet its maker this afternoon.
As much as I enjoy the prospect of getting back into customization, it was*a surprising relief to not*feel that it was a necessity for the last 5 months.*It's all a bit bitter-sweet.

that's what the phone rep said after a spiel about it being at my own risk - which mean that the "may" qualifier in their nastygram seems to be in order to enable their scare tactics so as to get as many back as possible in order to reduce any liability they may face.
I just got back from a big V store...the rep had an N7 in his pocket he said he used as a media player....so I guess we can keep our phones if we want to....hope that's not like Obama's promise about my doctor...(I went there).

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.

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.

I just came from Sprint. We used to always get the updates first, but they too haven't received the update. So maybe next week VZW and SPR update. I mean I have 30 days to return everything and switch to T-Mobile and get Nougat, so...timer started I guess.
With what people are saying about lag and battery issues. Im not too interested yet. Of course i want it but I need it to work good.

I'm on the T-Mobile that was posted for our phones and battery is better then mm and not seeing lag....
Nougat is now out for sprint beta testers. Verizon is now the only carrier with no update
Week of March 20th is the current date.. Check my post history if you need verification of accuracy.
Been running the Nougat Beta. It's not so bad. Best improvement is the blue light filter. Went to the T-Mobile full update. Not really any better except for less bloatware. Overall i think the best overall update for this phone is either the I phone 7 plus or the Google Pixel XL. March 20th could happen, i say not until a while after the S8 is released.
Seriously though, the nougat beta 2 is not bad, it does have a few rough spots, but they really need to kick it into high gear and roll it out. I cant imagine they havent had enough time to quash the few bugs.
Verizon support I chatted with, just told me she found the update for me to download for my s7 Edge!!!
developer.android.com...
Seriously. I just said thanks.... At least she helped with the original reason I initiated chat, I just asked about it because I always do. lol.

Never trust those people. You where misinformed. developer.android.com has nothing to do with oem firmware. That site is for core Android development only. It has nothing carrier specific. I say this because I have used that site a lot over the past few years. It is the basis for android development.

Oh I know , lol I just ask for the hell of it pretty much.
Customer service just told me that we weren't getting the update and suggested I use my 30 day trade in to upgrade to a different device with 7.0 already...

There is no way that is true. If for some crazy reason that is true, I would dump verizon immediately. But there is no way that is true.

Yeah Verizon Rep told me the same thing sadly my upgrade isn't till September
While paying my bill stuff today the regional manager at our corporate store was visiting and the employee asked him and he called corporate and they have no information about it. Hes aware about the other carriers have released it and something should at least be said.
Got rid of my Nexus 6P for this phone...man what a bad decision, should of just waited for the Pixel.

Depends what you're looking for in a phone. The s7 edge is better than the 6P in many ways. 6P definitely has the updates on it's side and the speakers.
