Google is pressing to Samsung submit our K.K. rom?!?!

Can't imagine this is a great shock to many people here, tbh I've given up expecting oems to update flag ship devices after 18 months (had a HTC Desire hd previously with exactly this will they won't they fiasco).
Does make me wonder about buying a device with the extra future proofing of some extra ram ie Z2 or G3 for my next device.

Realeasing s5 at such a cost with so less stuff....
No more updates for one of their best selling phones (S3)....
Almost same design for every phone....
Seriously, go home samsung. You are drunk.

There is a thread opened already. It is hard to use the search button?

They can give the sources for developers or this rom i9300XXUHDN1, so somebody maybe can solve their problems.

The first intention from Samsung it's, in fact, release a KitKat rom, supposedly they could be working on 4.4.3 version for our devices directly...

i dont believe it. a german samsung employee officially hase confirmed that we will get kk update for our devices on end of zhis month.

Kinda sucks, it's one of their most successful models out there. Fortunately there's quite a few alternatives by now...

I'm totally fed up with the Samsung's delay of updating the S3.

There is still too much uncertainty of upgrading to kitkat, I doubt that Samsung will promise to release an official kitkat update for our devices.

dont know why title says ".... officially" ???
sammobile is not samsung.

Galaxy s2 plus have android 4.4.2 and galaxy s3 no wtf

T-Mobile update page

FYI here is a link to the T-mobile update page. Just click your device of interest! Unfortunately, at the time of this post, it does not appear the lollipop release is imminent for the Tm Edge...

Exactly. it's a bull that they are withholding the update for the note4 until after the s6 is released. wanna know why? So you buy the s6 cause it has lolli already, it's ridiculous the way carriers dictate the duration of the update process. They get the rom from Samsung, then they do their bloat thing, test it in crappy small markets, then release they've been sitting on it for over a month now just waiting for the s6 to drop. They've had so many people call and complain that they started a Web page.. lol that's pretty bad.. Don't blame Samsung for lack of the update, blame your favorite carrier. it them. That's why the g3 got it, the s5, the note3 is in testing in diff markets.. Why would one do that? because they want you to buy the latest greatest hit. Not because the s5 is of more importance due to the numbers sold.. so in conclusion, time for a new s6. Lol

Just noticed that the note 4 is now at tmoble testing phase... my guess is we're 2 weeks behind it.

dont know what is the freaking hold up !
i heard ATT note edge got the lick candy today !

I see that tmobile is testing the lollipop on the note 4, I think after they roll out the upate for the note 4 they would start foucusing on the note edge.

The excuse i got was: Since N4 and Edge are the only 2 phones compatable with Samsung VR1 they were waiting on the manufacturer of the vr to finish so they can begin coding in the VR part to LP. They didnt want to telease LP without the VR stuff teady to go. Aftet seeing all the complaints about battery drain and so on with 5.0 on the N4s that received it, i cant wait to see what happens when you hook up VR to your N4/Edge with 5.0...probably a nice little explosion...lol

Lollipop getting closer! Now at T-Mobile testing phase!

Note 4 testing is completed. Took about 3 weeks. So chances are Note Edge will be out in more or less 2 weeks as Note Edge started testing phase last week..

Apparently lollipop is out for Tmobile Edge but as of this morning the T-mobile update page says still testing! lol

Ha! You have to look in the right places I guess. Problem for me is that I've got things running so sweetly with hyperdrive, foerverlocos theme and some xposed modules I'm a bit reluctant to take the plunge for now. I checked out lollipop on my Note 3 and having ART is a nice improvement but I missed Xposed and even more so, Tweaked! Indeed I put Tweaked back on. Looking forward to hear about folks experience with Lollipop on T-mobile Edge.

Downloading it now.
Huge file coming in at over 1gb
There is a warning before you install saying your ram will decrease by a minimum of 950mb after update.

Did anyone else's apps that were installed on an SD card no longer work after installing the update?

Rogers Lollipop 5.1.1 Update "Coming Soon"

Rogers has updated their rollout schedule to state 5.1.1 is coming soon, previously it was simply June.

Follow me @ootpapps for more timely Android updated for the S6!

Coming soon sounds worse than a definite month like June.

No, they set it to coming soon when it's near approach date. This happened with the Nexus 5 update.
Coming soon means within days or a couple weeks at most, it's their lowest date range.

Why did Rogers have anything to do with a Nexus update?

Seriously? They issue the update to customers with Nexus 5's. I'm referring to Rogers update schedule... It was the same case with the Nexus 5 update from Rogers, it was previously a month, then it said coming soon...

Nice! Cant w8 (hehe, name of our model)

How long before this phone is stuck with some horribly out-of-date version of Android? You know there's a problem Microsoft is beating you on updates.

If you're asking this question seriously, I would say probably right around when the S8 rolls out. The S4 got 5.0.1 a few days after the S6 was released - so it seems like we get about 2 years of update coverage. That seems pretty reasonable to me for a two year old flagship (or more than reasonable, given that I last about 6 months per phone).

looking forward to it , i just hope pinpong root will be supposed

I think they may mean whether or not the new ROM has it... I don't think Rogers does anything but add their bloat to the ROM, so, chances are it's got the bug.

Would you think its still worth getting an S6 even with this flaw? I have an upgrade on Rogers, and the S6 seems like the best option. However, I feel this bug may drive me crazy.

Seems like the international variant 920F and T-Mobile 920T had their updates.... still waiting for the canadian variant!!!!

I honestly don't understand all the rage over this. I don't have an issue with the memory management, however I don't flip between apps like a spaz or fret over five different memory managers like some people seem to do.

The issue is that the S6 has to keep reloading apps, Say you open a webpage on chrome, then exit to another app. switching back to chrome will reload the page, when the page was supposed to be stored in memory.
The problem is that for a premium device which costs 600+, there should be flaws like this.

Mm finally made it to to testing

Actually the only ones it shows NOT in testing and still in Developement are the Note 4, Note Edge and tab 2. All others are complete or in testing.

Within the NEXT 2 WEEKS MM goodies will be delivered.
{This is a guess on my part and in no way implies I have a inside source named Frank who tells me all this stuff a month or two in advance. Frank did NOT tell me last month that first the Sixes would see the update followed closely by the N6 with about a 2 week break then N4. He also didn't tell be the the Note 6 has 6 GB of RAM. This is all just figments of my imagination.}

I think we can all agree that Samsung skips the testing phase and just pushes out whatever they developed, bugs and all.
Actually it was worse with my nexus. Official builds were basically Beta until CM or other device cleaned them up.

That's exactly why. Some people (ridiculous imho) might view the Note 6 being inferior to the to GS7, just by the simple fact of the number being lower. Seems not as new as the GS7. I guess to match iPhone 7 too.

I gave my s7 edge to the wife. My note 4 rooted is better battery and pimped to my liking. Too bad. That phone was gorgeous.

I used to root and flash a ton. For an experiment I tried using a stock ROM on my note 4. Found I didn't have anymore use for root and Roms and got used to it quick.
On the s7 I enjoy using Samsung pay since it uses a virtual card at the stores so when places like Target get hacked again, they won't have my real card number. And I can't use Samsung pay with root or Knox tripped.
Will get the note 7(6) when it comes out of it is water resistant and has a micro sd card slot.
Some people still enjoy flashing and rooting and that's cool. I just don't have the time anymore with work and raising a family.

Also evidently the Note 7 wont ship with Android N. just 6.0.1. These are all rumors or so called leaks but....hope it releases with flat screen option and Android N!

The Note series rarely, if ever launches with the most up to date Android. Since they launch almost in tandem, if not slightly before/after the official Android launch. Our 910T didn't get 5.0.1 until late April of the following year.
