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.
I just got the notification right now too

All I can see was the May Security updates.
Almost 2 weeks late, but super early for AT&T !
I hope they keep it up.
Just completed the update. I can't tell what has changed besides the baseband and kernel versions and security patch level.
To update or not is the question, I hope battery life won't get worse lol

Not sure exactly what the update includes aside from security patches, but ever since I updated, my phone is rebooting every 5-10 minutes.
On another board, someone mentioned that it included activation of the FM radio, but I cannot confirm that.

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?

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).

Got it back but was a pain but it all good
Just finished the update. Everything is noticeably snappier and more fluid! Woo-hoo!
Currently downloading for me
What's the update for, though? VR?
VR and performance enhancements per Droid Life. I'm taking, Lollipop is coming soon, so even root is achieved, that would likely go away with Lollipop.
I just checked for updates on my Note 4 and its downloading something. Not sure yet what it is.

I thought maybe it was the placebo effect, but I've been running it for a over 3 hours since reboot and there's still much less lag than before the update.
It makes me giggle every time one of these update threads come out how people say wifi/cell signals better, this and that is better blablabla. As far as signals go unless the software running the hardware have serious flaws in it you are not going to see a difference at all. As far as signal strength goes there are so many variable that come into play was before you get anywhere near the software running the radio. Even when it comes to phone applications there is so many variable on how things run from phone to phone settings, environment, and the human using the phone being the major ones. Usually the only time you can really notice performance issues (at lease on a minor release) is if there is a serious that has been fixed or if a new issue has come up. Think the best we can hope for with this release is finding a root exploit. We have been on the previous SW version for a while now and not being able to root it so anything new is a step in the right direction to me. As far as not taking the update to each there own but in my eyes we don't have root so whats the worse that can happen.
Here is the version info on the new update:

It makes me giggle when people try to make themselves feel better or superior by being condescending to a helpful poster by posting unhelpful and useless information. The wifi performance did improve. I measured it. Also, it's in the change log.

Yea, I want root to. But tossed the coin and decided with the time that's expired thus far with no root, I am currently installing this update so to get hopefully the best experience out of my Note 4 as it is w/o root. Guess it's the chance you take...
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!

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.

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.

It breaks the hotspot by greying out the APN settings even with the MSL
So we have a choice of forgoing all future enhancements, or losing hotspot. Great.
How is the update? Good/Bad feedback?
I'm downloading it now. I don't see this thing being rooted anytime soon anyway. I hardly ever use hot spot but it is nice to have if you need it. Any other solutions working without root?
Had to wipe both my wife and my s7e. They would stop sending and receiving texts and made some wierd screeching noise before rebooting.

I usually always hard reset anyway after an OTA. Have you had any issues with the update since hard resetting?
Also those that want to get rid of the update nag, use package disabler pro (it's $2, don't be cheap, it's well worth it) disable com.sec.android.soagent & com.wssyncmldm and the nag will go away. I did download the update but haven't applied it yet. Wanted to get some feedback first before applying. If you have not hard reset and have issues then I really wouldn't bother posting about it till you hard reset.
Ok, I updated and it seems like the dun setting is still there for hot spot mod but it is grayed out now. Will have to see if still works.
No problems after performing factory reset. Had to do it 3 times. First 2 times wiping data in recovery caused issues. Factory reset under settings/security menu worked great. Battery is better. No dun in son setting gs though I'll have to carry my Hotspot with me.

I didn't take the update just because I want to keep Hotspot, but if it does work it will probably go away with a data reset or prl update
My Hotspot still works after update. Have not updated profile or prl so not sure if gonna go away after doing so.
Otherwise update seems pretty good.
Took the update yesterday. Tried Hotspot today and it's working. Updated PRL and Profile just now and Hotspot is still working. I do have to turn off Adguard though.
Wonder why it's not working for some

If your battery life is good right now, I wouldn't take the update. Sprint ****ed up the battery life on the GS7E with the pd3 update. I wish I had never updated my phone. I went from 7 to 8 hrs SOT down to 4 to 5 hrs after the update. It is caused by a GPS bug.
