Preview message on notification bar not working since MM update - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've recently taken the OTA Android 6.0.1 update. Since then I can no longer get "Preview message on notification bar" working on the stock Messages app. This is the case on my handset, my partners, and my brothers. I've tried a factory reset, and I've tried reflashing the rom via Odin.
Can anyone running stock Rom check if this is working for you? Samsung don't want to acknowledge a problem. Am I going mad or is anyone else suffering from this bug? Thanks! Specifically asking about the International S5 (SM-G900F).

ME572C getting Lollipop in TW, maybe US getting it soon?

So, if you look at Asus's website, they have released firmware TW_V12.14.1.9 and in the changelog it mentions that "the first boot time after upgrading to Android 5.0" will take 5 mins. So I think that release is Android 5.0. It was released on April 2, 2015 so maybe we can hope to receive an OTA update for WW_V12.14.1.9 sometime within the coming week? I sure hope so!!
do not update if important sound in the headphones, disappeared after updating bass.
Before getting root solution, it's not recommended to update it yet.
OTA released since 12PM CEST, i can confirm that the version of Lollipop is the 5.0.1 WW_V12.14.1.9 which is 779MB in size.
No problem since I updated my tablet except one notification telling me that one application is requesting a newer version of Google Play Services...
Did you have root on tablet before you upgraded the new firmware and if so did you still have root afterwards?

Nop, no root...
Update breaks root. Zenroot failed.

Moreover, you can't apply OTA if you have root AND SD patch applied. Tried to install OTA, but no dice (stumped on platform.xml which was modified).
Thinktank: can you pre-root the ROM and install?
Hi, I've made an OTA update yesterday from .31 rooted version to Lollipop and I've lost root as I've expected. Beside it, tablet is unusable - still cycling messages 'Unfortunately IndexService has stopped' and 'Unfortunately ContextProvider has stopped' . I have to do super-fast double click on these messages and then I have about 0,1 seconds to click some other item before the cycling messages appear again! With this annoying double-clicking process, I've been able to reach "settings" app and make another user account - cycling messages are gone, but when I want to use Chrome, message 'Unfortunately Chrome has stopped' appears and other browser don't work too (Dolphin, Asus Browser, Chrome Beta...).
I've made the factory reset, but messages 'Unfortunately IndexService has stopped' and 'Unfortunately ContextProvider has stopped' still appear and I can't even to pass welcome guide!!!
Tablet is now useless, downgrade doesn't work.
Looks like Asus pulled the Lollipop update for the ME572C from their site.
I checked both the U.S. and Taiwan support sites (www.asus.com/us/Tablets/ASUS_MeMO_Pad_7_ME572C/HelpDesk_Download/ and www.asus.com/tw/Tablets/ASUS_MeMO_Pad_7_ME572C/HelpDesk_Download/). The Lollipop 5.0.1 WW_V12.14.1.9 build that came out in early April 2015 is nowhere to be found.
I hope Asus is going back to fix reported issues and...hopefully...go straight to 5.1 or 5.1.1 with the next update soon.
I checked also and noticed it was pulled after only being posted for a brief time. That is odd. I actually haven't had any issues with mine since updating to the lollipop build and actually have noticed a remarkable inprovement in my tablet since the last update. Of course, I did have to sacrifice my root to go to lollipop, but I was only using root to delete alot of the bloatware since the stock KitKat was slow and stuttered alot when new. It's not like we have an unlocked bootloader to flash custom roms with, so as long as they can make the stock firmware fast and smooth, I'm content to use it. Although, wouldn't it be cool if they pulled it and were gonna release the next update as a 64 bit version to take advantage of the 64 bit processor?

Official Android 5.0 Lollipop. Should I update?

Hi all,
I got a notification on my G2 D802 to update to 5.0 lollipop a while ago but wondering if its safe to do so. I goggled it and found out that some people had some major issues with battery drain and bad wifi performance. Anyway I proceeded to download the LG PC suite to still give it a try however I got this message on startup. " Android 5.0 Lollipop guide
Date : 2014.11.27
For phone or tablet with Android 5.0 Lollipop or later,
phone or tablet will not back up or restore properly due to security on Android.
Refrain from use.
"
Now I am really thinking twice lol.. Can anyone shed some light on this? Is it safe to update? Can anyone did it before can advice me?
Q&A not dev section
Crap. Sorry didnt realize.
It's OK go and update it. But if you are happy with Kitkat then don't update it.
Even i was in same situation but then i went n tried updating using pc suit. Cudnt be successful as it started showing error while downloading multiple times.Any advice?
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Free mobile app
Hmmm. You tried doing a factory reset before updating?

Note 4 Lollipop 5.1.1 update bug!

Hello,
since I have update my note 4 to lillipop 5.1.1, I am expiriencing a bug. When I'm typing SMS my phone freezes for a few seconds, then flashes to the desktop (without any icons or toolbar on it), goes to black screen and then back to SMS like nothing happend. I wonder is this just me?
Is it even related to the update, or is it anything else?
Best regards,

Not a bug.
Ether you got a bad rom or just a bad flash. I am running 5.1.1 and its more stable and smooth then any of it's previous builds so just try and reflash or find another 5.1.1 rom.
5.1.1 rom is by far the best in my opinion.

How did you update your Note 4? I never use OTA because it will cause many problems, mostly lag, battery drain... Download firmware from sammobile and flash through odin, everything is different. If you are experienced on cooked róm, try some on Note 4 development topic

[Help] Cant open Contacts after updating to 5.1.1

Hi there, I have the galaxy E7 DS. Yeah, I encountered the problem after I upgraded the Android from jellybean to the kitkat version via OTA.
So, the problem is in the Contact apps. I cant see any of my Contacts or logs because it just stuck in "Updating Contact List". I've gone to the Samsung center, but they said that I shouldn't upgrade from the OTA. instead, I need to come to them to update the software (in other words they dont reccomend me to update via OTA, which doesnt make any sense). And they also said that I need to downgrade it to jellybean again.
Does any body here encountered the same problem like me? I've also follow the instruction email from Samsung to clear data the Contacts apps, but that doesnt work. Please any advice would be appreciated
Thanks before. Cheers

Seems like you need to dactory reset your device, after updates is better to wipe your data.

Apparently yes, I'll consider to make a backup and do the factory reset very soon. Cheers and thanks before

Can I turn back to old firmware G955F TUR

Hey there,
I have been having issues with notifications since I updated my S8 + to the latest version. The Messages app sometimes shows SMS notifications but sometimes not. I conveyed the situation to Samsung via members, but they do not produce a solution. I downloaded the old firmware from Sammobile. Is it possible to go back to the old version using these?
Now I'm using: G955FXXSBDTJ1 I want to turn back and try G955FXXU9DTF1 or G955FXXS9DTEA. Other than me having this problem and return etc. If anyone has found a solution in ways, I would be glad if they share how they did.
