Hey all,
Since the ota download for 6.0 has been pulled I was wondering if anyone had a chance to grab it before it went down?
Thanks
I did

Is there an chance you can post it for us that missed out?
Wait
I have it as well - but wouldn't want to post it. It's a beta release, and as such, you won't get future OTA updates (at least until the official release comes out), and will have to update manually, and will have to wipe/reset to avoid issues going from beta to official. I really regret not waiting for the official, but hopefully fixing it won't be more of a hassle than upgrading was. I don't like that I'll have to set up everything again, but it is what it is, and as long as I get back on official so I can get future updates all will be well. It'll be better to wait, especially since the beta has bricked many people's phones (I got lucky, mine works flawlessly), and you won't have to go through extra bullcrap to get back on the official releases.
If you want so badly

It's a pain that we'll have to stick to beta for now, judging from the other variants that asus release marshmallow before it will take a month or less(eg: Zenfone Max, mm beta release on 1st week of may, mm official release on 1st week of june), sad for us non-modder users.

Well, at least I don't have to dread setting up my phone again too soon. I just really hope going from beta to official will be just as simple as upgrading from L to M was.

I have the FW on my phone but really hesitant to upgrade after seeing the comments.. Better to wait a few more days rather than brick the phone...

Definitely wait for official, the beta release really worked well for me but I'm lucky, and now I'm dreading having to figure out how to get back on an official release so I'll get updates in the future - and I'll have to set up my phone from scratch again.
I did upgrade to 6.0, so far i've experienced a bit of lag and battery drain( lot worse than .184)
Same here, upgrade went fine but now some significant battery drain taking place; I can guess why, the phone is now constantly warm and the system monitor utility shows that the processor spends some serous time at higher clock frequencies.
Also experiencing some microSD card disconnects, from time to time, for no apparent reason.
All in all, it wasn't a bad update though [emoji57]
Initially I also had really heavy battery drain after updating, but doing a factory reset and reinstalling my apps afresh seemed to fix. Now getting basically the same battery life as before the update, which is to say neither great nor terrible. Am very pleased with the improved RAM management after updating though - it is releasing RAM much better than before and running very smoothly.

Since last Wednesday I have been one of the people who when I tried the OTA update, got the message saying, update service is not available, maximum number of roll out has been released, try later or upgrade through Kies.
Not that you could upgrade through Kies, as that always came back saying the latest firmware was installed.
As if 5 days of that message was not enough!
This morning Monday 9th December, that message has gone and it's gone back to just saying. Latest updates have already been installed.
It's as if the hope of an upgrade has been dangled in front of me for 5 days and now Taken away.
It certainly hasn't been updated. Unless the new version is keeping the random 5 to 10 second wait for the lock screen to undo, due to popular demand.
My phone is an unlocked S3 that was not supplied by a carrier, so was supposed to be one of the ones updated first.
How bad can you make a problem Samsung. Was the roll out of crap firmware not enough for you.
Nick
f*ck samsung!
Unless Samsung pulls off a miracle with future updates I intend to stay with custom ROMs! Currently I am using the 4.3-based SentinelRom which works perfectly. KitKat needs more time to mature on our phones.

Hey! Just wondering, but has anyone recieved the 5.0 update yet?
Yes, i'm kinda anxious.
I'm looking forward to lollipop on the shield but I may not allow it to install when it's first released.
There are a few of my commonly used apps that either crash on start or have problems in lollipop (on the nexus 7), so I have a feeling that there are a significant number of apps that still need updating.
My shield runs so flawlessly right now that I'd really hate to mess it up.

All the sites reporting that it has started to roll out are wrong, they're all reporting this on the basis of one screenshot from one user a couple of days ago. We'd be seeing more reports here if the roll out was really underway. Hopefully we should start seeing those reports very soon.

Apparently it was reported that the roll out was due to start today fingers x.
No update yet in the UK on LTE version
No update here in The Netherlands (Lte) yet.
Is it worth pre-optimising apps to use the ART runtime (via developer options), while awaiting the update?
I'm told by my colleague who has a Nexus 4, that received the lollipop update, that it took about 50 minutes to apply the update. But he hadn't set his runtime to ART, I have.
I'm waiting to see which of my devices gets lollipop first out of my Nvidia Shield Tablet and my Nexus 4.
Still nothing
Nothing in Poland.... LTE version.
Does anyone think that we'll get double tap to wake with the update? Here's hoping that it's not an N9 kernel feature ??
No Lollipop here in the U.S. yet. Hopefully, it'll hit soon! Definitely getting exciting for this update.
No Lollipop in France yet

Jealous! I haven't reinstalled ANY of my games after getting my replacement in case they don't work on 5.0!
Downloading now ? UK LTE version
I've been holding out and waiting for a root (haven't updated once yet). Curious if I just screwed up and bought a phone which will never get rooted and will have to wait till I can afford a new one which can...
Question: Should I update? I know it'll severely reduce the chances of rooting in the future but...will we ever be able to get it with a locked bootloader?

If you're still on PB5 and use Hotspot, I'd stay where you're at. I haven't updated yet either. I'm avid user of Hotspot and my battery life is great. My motto is, if it ain't broke don't fix it
Sent from my SM-G935P using XDA-Developers mobile app
I'm only waiting for root; I don't use Hotspot. If we won't ever get root, I'll probably just update.
No one can say "Never," but it certainly doesn't seem promising.

There is a similar thread to this was, this was my response
I would take the updates, your going to have to face the music at some point as I have already accepted this phone may never have root
Your on release day software and last time I checked I have never wanted to stick with the earliest builds. It's not like they rolled out OTA's only to block the APN settings, other things were done I'm sure just based on the size of the OTA's. While I didn't have any problems with it, I prefer to be on the latest versions. Not like these OTA's are beta buggy nightly builds, they have to go through the act of congress just to get approval to push them to the public.
I haven't had any issues with the latest build and I rarely used the hotspot anyway. It was nice to use a few times a year but I don't support people who abuse the piss out of it because they are too cheap to buy a wired line.
My golden rule is hard reset after any OTA if you have any issues. I can't tell you how much I will have people ask me, my phone does this, or that or bla bla. Let me guess, you took a big OTA and didn't hard reset. I'm a firm believer in clean installs.
You can avoid it for a while, but your only going to get more behind and of course I think chances will be higher for root exploits on older builds, this thing is locked down and locked again so I just decided to deal with it. Kinda sad I saw all the threads deleted in the Android development section. Just my opinion if tether was that important or root we would have went with different phones. We got a lucky break with the release software having a loophole which was quickly patched in turn locking you out of any new updates for the life of the phone unless a miracle is achieved.
Hi guys!
Just wanted a few suggestions. I have a SM-G935FD and currently running G935FXXU1BPH firmware. Some time ago I had received the OTA update for BPIO. Am still wondering if one should update the phone or not. I am happy with my current setup and battery life, and historically whenever I have updated samsung phones they have led to some or the other bugs and poorer battery life. The only compelling reason is the security patches. What is the view of people out here? Can one continue to use his phone as stock always if he is happy with the performance or should you always do the OTA updates?
I think, if you happy with current version and the next version doesn't has useful features(read update change log) then you should keep it.

The update changelog usually don't say anything. It is just a "standard" text to inform you that the update MAY contain security updates, fixes or new features. You never don't know exactly what is changed or added...not from that log anyways. Best thing is to check over the Internet by the update code to find a detailed changelog but that's also hard to find.
I would advice to update tho, regardless of your past experiences. Most of the time updates contain bug fixes and/or security patches and they are also incremental. That means that, even if you don't update now, at some point, when a big update will come containing new features for ex, you'll want to upgrade. And that update will contain also previously skipped updates. Nobody tries to ruin your end user experience, especially on a high end phone like this and for sure they have a high quality control in place. But as everyone knows, there are bugs and flaws that could cause issues in some specific cases.
On S6 Edge and my current S7 Edge I had several updates and none brought me an issue...so go ahead.

Perosnally I don't understand why you wouldn't update.
I'm on 1BPH and no updates available at the moment.. Haven't had an update since I've had the phone
Received mine several days ago,haven't had an update.

Well the only reason I don't feel like updating is that I have the mortal fear of bugs and bad battery life. In all previous experiences with android, updates mostly gave issues (mostly used Samsung and LG). Also its so difficult to know what are the changes being made.
We have no way to know that companies are actually injecting bugs to reduce battery or performance once their next flagship phones are out! So that customers are compelled to upgrade! Infact so many of friends and family have given this opinion that android phones don't last. After a year or too it becomes buggy or slow. Whereas look at apple my Ipad 2 still gets updates and battery is phenomenal!
I know most of what I am saying may be more of hunch but that's the reason I was wondering what others think about it...

Simply put, it is a gamble. Ask anyone who had the phone in March, then updated to April and got Android System drain and 6-7 hour SOT down to 4-5 lol. There is a 200+ page thread and the only known thing in there is that Samsung update on the S7 series have made battery life dog poop (compared to what it used to be).
Even those who claim great battery life, would have more if they flashed March firmware again. I flashed the most recent update and it was OK. Nothing special. Went back to March though, battery took a massive hit. I'd say stay where you are if things are running smoothly. I ain't updating till Nougat or till they fix Android System burning through 20-30% of the battery.

Exactly my point. When you buy the phone you know what you are buying and what is expected. However once you update that control goes back to the supplier who may ruin or improve you experience!!
Which firmware are you referring to? Please share the link.

This is what I use for my UK s7 edge
- deleted as post got repeated
It's been rolled out for 2 days now, i still haven't gotten a notification and when i check it says i am up to date. just wondering if anyone has gotten it yet.
Not I. I thought only beta people get it till the 17th.
I have not unfortunately. Hopefully it'll be here by Wednesday.
I received an update this morning for build number G930PVPU4APL6 and was around 400mb. Unfortunately it's another marshmallow update, December security patch. It said something about improved LTE, sorry for no screenshot of update log. It's probably just preparing for nougat
I'm on the beta and haven't got the update yet. Which sucks because the Beta 5 has made my phone so slow it's almost unusable and the battery life is the worst I've ever had.

I'm on the beta 5 as well and also have not gotten the update. I haven't had any issues with battery life or speed. However I did disable a lot of stuff. Maybe try that or a factory reset.
