Next year. No root and no update is killing me

It's one thing to block root, but this is complete bs that they can legally hold back lollipop.... not mentioning the cool additional features, but the known exploits alone they should have to push lollipop. I hate Verizon, I wish they would steal my unlimited data to give me a reason to jump ship

it's crazy that virtually every other Samsung phone prior to the Note Edge has been granted Lollipop. I just helped a friend of mine with her S4 update yesterday. (a little insulted that she had no idea what she was doing and here my phone is, all wonderful and beautiful but left out lol.) Thankfully I still have both my Note 4 and my S5 so I can switch out at anytime.
I have heard that one of the reasons big red is always slow on updates is for quality control, bugs, etc. Making sure that it's absolutely perfect before rolling it out. But when you go and see that the S5 was first to get Lollipop for the Verizon devices, it makes you think otherwise.

Once I find a buyer for my. I am totally done with samdong. Worst freaking phone I have ever bought..

You guys act surprised. For years anyone on VZW knows we get locked bootloaders and updates are about 6 months to a year behind all other carriers. This should not be a shock to anyone. The Edge is very similar to the Note 4 and if they are rolling out 5.0.1 to the 4, I suspect the edge will be right behind it. At the end of the day, I stay with VZW because they have the best network where I need it.

You can't as of now !!

The title of this thread is misleading

no biggy ...
The Verizon Edge came out some time after the Verizon Note 4, so Lollipop will probably come out that much time later. No big deal.
On another note, I've been shouting this to every end of the Internet, but there is a serious problem with the so-called "Lollipop" update that Samsung has provided to just about all NON-S6/Edge devices, and that is the lack of KEY FEATURES like app pinning and multi-user accounts. HTC, LG and Motorola have provided these features with their Lollipop updates, and they are stock Android Lollipop features. But Samsung as they too-often do, is holding them back from all devices except the Tab S (which is older than the Note 4/Edge) and the S6, and it's pissed me off to no end. There are PLENTY of Samsung features that I'd love to get on my Note 4 and Edge that the S6 has, like themes for example. But I understand that that is a Samsung feature, and so Samsung certainly is within their rights to withhold it to promote the S6. That I get. Those are proprietary Samsung features. But Google Android features, no. They should not be able to keep those from us just for the sake of promoting their S6 when Lollipop supports it out of the box. My Nexus 6 has them and it's the same age as the Note 4. So I don't understand it.
It is very, very, very shady, especially in light of how locked-down their devices are becoming.
That said, some developers are working very hard to get root for the locked-down versions of the Note 4 and Edge, so we have to support their hard work! Keep up the good work, and make sure to press Samsung hard on the shady things they do.
If I knew of a way to let Google know that OEMs shouldn't be stock holding Google features back just for the sake of promoting new devices, I'd do it. Any suggestions would be useful. A petition? I dunno.
Hang in there folks!

[Q] Note 3 marshmallow update?

is there any chances to get marshmallow update for Note 3 (Snapdragon)

No one knows. But let the Note 5 selling start, and within a month of that Samsung will announce whether to update our device or not, that is if Note 5 doesn't sell well they will be angry (like anyone cares about that after releasing a phone like Note 5) and will say no, no Marshmallow for Note 3. But if Note 5 sells well then they will give us the update. I am positive about the update though.

Probably we may get an unofficial version.

The latest galaxy range of the s6 and the note 5 are the 'disappointment devices' .... I recon peoplewont buy them because of the important features they took out like Micro Sd slot...removable battery and the phone being made from pure glass and metal theyr basing it more on iphones... COMON SAMSUNG FIX UP.

When we see the Samsung's support's histroy there are no device that it support more than 24 month
Sent from my SM-N900 using Tapatalk

I want to buy a note 3 now because it is a great device, screen size and resolution, battery life, etc... But I want to know if CM or and other custom rom will be available for marshmallow. The hardware should be able to handle it, right?

More likely there won't be an official Marshmellow update, because Note 3 is already old, despite the hardware being more than enough to handle it. It's not a hardware limitation but rather Samsung pulling to plug, plus, by now if you are carrier locked, no carrier will push an update for a phone which is over 24 months old.
Probably we will see a Marshmellow update, but it'll be unofficial. If you ask me, that's more than enough.

right! who likes touchwiz? hehe

Bump!
I'm just wondering, since the marshmallow leak for the Note 5.... if anyone is working on it. I've combed the forums but can't find any chatter.

unofficial ported rom by developers

I got tired of waiting for my note 3 to get updated, that's why I started flashing ROM's.
Currently using temaseks Rom (CM 13) and loving it. Will never use Samsungs Touch wiz ever again.

Note 3 abandoned. I paid 800 for this. At least Microsoft will push updates till the pc crashes. Last Samsung cell phone I'll ever purchase.

will my Samsung galaxy note 3 small n900 will be updated to marshmallow or not ?

Note 7 discontinued

Hi, recently the note 7 goes out of market, what do u think?
I wonder if the note 5 will receive more updates to hide the disaster existence of the Note 7, it's very sad I'll be patient and wait for the Note 8 ????

This is what they get for skipping the note 6 name. My guess the next "note" will have a different name. One that will not include the word "note". If they were smart they would go back to a flat screen too.

They didn't know they were going to have any battery issues with the release of the phone so they skipped 6. Pretty sure after all these events they regret doing so. Hopefully Samsung makes something good to cover up all this mess with the note 7.

Why would they want to update the Note 5? It's a 2015 phone! They will focus on the current GS7/GS7 EDGE line until a new Note or S8 arrives. They want to keep loyal users by forcing them to buy newer devices, not by updating older ones. I don't judge them, I'll probably one of those first "loyal users" preordering the next Samsung flagship the next year and hoping that it will not explode before I took it out of the box...

+I am very sorry for Samsung, I like them,
But, it will be nice to also to discontinue new ui grace (I know my opinion is in deep minority).
For me old classic ui was far better (on s5 even better and more things in settings, just too much bloatware- but this is not connected).
This new one is closing to ios unfortunately- less and less customization.
More unfortunately all roms now are n7 ports- great pure n5 roms all discontinued...

So would the note 5 get more software love from Samsung now that note 7 is gone??? I really want that grace UX on my note 5. Might as well stick to it till better version of note 5 comes out..
I don't wanna get s7 edge. Don't seem like good enough jump

I personally think that in a situation like this the FCC sound have tested the replacement phones before they were allowed to replace them and this time test them right.

"Samsung" is POS.

I predict the Note 8 will launch with the S8. Either that or there will be a dual release of the S8 with a rebranded Note.
Now is the time for a rival company like Sony, HTC or even Huawei to jump in.

In an optimistic and ideal world, yes. The Note 5 is the "lastest" Note device and they should give it all the updates Note 7 should had until a new one arrives. But it's Samsung. They're already promoting the S7 as a Note 7 replacement, and letting the Note 5 out in the cold. They will not update the Note 5, they'll focus on a newer Note iteration (or a revised Note7) and bring all the support on those devices. I'm a proud Note 5 owner, I'd love to see newer updates for it, but i'm pretty sure that Samsung will not give us more support than what we actually have. S7 users? Probably they'll have additional months of support, but us? I'm not sure.

I agree with galaxynote2. Samsung will forget of all the pervious note devices and focus on relaunching another note 7 replacement. I have to hand it to Samsung though. I had version 1 and version 2 of the note 7 for about 45days or so and I have to admit it they really hit the nail on the head with this one. I was the best device Samsung ever made. It's too bad it was plagued with battery issues. I love using my note 5 but I sure do miss the note 7. Sorry for getting off topic. Lol just wanted to share a bit of my experience.

Sorry for my bad english I'm from Germany I think if the Note5 will get more updates because the Note7 was a catastrophe, the S6 will get more updates either because the Note 5 is basically the Note version from the S6. But it's a little bit unrealistic haha what do you think ?

If Samsung is smart, they will put all their resources into figuring out what exactly went wrong with the Note7. Remember, they haven't been able to replicate the issue at all, which leads me to believe that it's not a battery issue alone.
The name "Note" is dead, but not the phone. It'll come back rebranded as something else.

Now that the Note 7 is dead, will Samsung accelerate the S7/Edge Android 7 updates ?

Just wondering what everyone thinks...I surely hope so

I suspect they'll be concentrating on the next S8 and note 8 even more than before. They might even be looking at a rebranding. ( Samsung Extinguisher 8? )

I think/hope they'll focus on making next generation as good as possible and direct their Note 7 update team (if there is one) to the S7's for the time being, hence giving the S7 (edge) faster updates!

One more reason to push the Grace UX to s7 more quickly.
No point in not using it on any device.

This thought crossed my mind. I hope so. Although I feel like 15 Billion dollar debt has them preoccupied with a ****load of other things. The thought to even sell my device in case the S7 Edge is totally forgotten about also crossed my mind. I think both are equally possible with how Samsung runs their ship.

Was hoping for a flurry of updates including the UX and always on display

I think that while they should, Samsung is probably either concentrating on the current fiascos currently happening after Note 7 issues or making models of new phones [emoji14]

Still hoping for a new Note.... If they fix it wallet is waiting.

they will. S7/edge is now first in line for software development. The king (note 7) is dead - long live the king (S7/edge)! :laugh: at least until S8 come out next year

Hi everyone. I've crawled over here from the Note7 XDA sub-forum. This is my new home. I hope they do, and bring the new UI/UX to the Edge too.

Yes, until S8 comes

The Galaxy S8/Edge! We use nuclear reactor technology so you never have to charge your phone! Forget about the battery issues last year of the Note 7, that's long gone! I think you guys will love this.
Edit: NEVERMIND EVERYONE RECALL THESE PHONES NOW! PHONES BLOWING UP HALF THE COUNTRY!
Edit2: CNN: "North Korea buys all Galaxy S8's. Samsung no longer going bankrupt" Nvm, they only gave 1$

it should be interesting, but in a bussines view, is even worst look back on an older model instead of focus in the new one, so I don't think that would happen, also, samsung is focused in "cover" all the note 7 things, not because they want make it like never happened (despite they want xD), but cause they want costumers's trust again, so all the note team is sure focused on the note 7 things yet

No as long as you keep the same CSC it won't erase all data

[Discussion] Updates About The Official Oreo Update

Hi Guys In This Thread We Will Talk About The Official Oreo Update For Note 5
Any one knows any new news
Kindly post it :good:

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung-galaxy-android-8-o-update
The weird thing For Now That They Put the Galaxy s6 in (These Galaxys may or may not get Android 8.0) category
And You can see in gsm arena they that galaxy s6 is planned To be Upgraded .
But They put The note 5 in (These Galaxys will not get Android 8.0) category

And If you asked me why I’m talking too much about galaxy s6 and the connection between it and the note 5 i find the answer pretty obvious ,
actually if you compare the hardware between them you will find that they have the same Chipset and the same CPU and the same GPU !!!!!
So You Can Say It’s Not A Hardware issue .

If oreo will not come to note5 and came for s6e then the devs will port it for note5

From Sammy firmware, like S8, S9 and Note 8, the problem are the kernel and libs, bur more for this last; And from AOSP, someone make a build and share in this forum.

I hope , but it will be a stupid move from Samsung

Accordoing to me , Samsung won't give Oreo to Galaxy S6. Because it have taken two major upgrades.
We can only wait for Galaxy A8 (2016). But on the other hand, it's not a flagship device. So, maybe Samsung will give Oreo to Galaxy A8 (2016).
There is no hope for me.

It's a joke not to update at least the s6 and note 5.
Especually since people went two years nearly with the note 4 and 5 being the only notes. And Samsung didn't give either of them justified updates making up for that fact.
Its not Samsung though. Sadly all companies are like this. Google is pretty much no better. And the only ones that give any more have weak uis in comparison.
And anyone claiming about i phones getting updates is clearly too niave to speak on the matter

Note 5/S6 Edge will receive at least 7.1.1. For Example Note 4 start with 4.4.4 and received 5.0.1>5.1.1>6.0.1=3 updates. Note 5 start 5.1.1 and receive 6.0>7.0=2. Next between android 7.0 and 8.0 are not much changes. So why no called 7.5? Maybe merketing and full of numers are reserved only for the newest devices.

This is why I'll never get a Samsung phone ever again. They are only supported for 2 Android versions, the software sucks, lack of support for Exynos cpu.
I've been impressed with the Xiaomi's I've used. The screens are not as good as Samsung. But even Samsung's screens are not good compared to LG.
