So are we getting it or not? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

I'm a little confused. Has the update been halted world wide or just in China?

They're only going to release it for the Note 7.

I heard the Galaxy S3 would be getting it before us too.

New to Verizon?
You must be new to Verizon. They are notoriously slow for releasing updates. They have very little incentive to care about updates since a phone that doesn't get updates or doesn't have the most recent update might push a customer to just buy a new phone that does have it. Coincidentally, they usually wait to push the updates until right after the latest flagship phone release. So don't expect to get Nougat (besides the beta which is easy to install, works great but disables Gear VR) anytime soon, most likely April after the S8 comes out.

New models will be out with the updates about the time Verizon allows us to have an update to the S7. Same every year.

Sometime between February and September, I'd say ?

Looks like who ever told you that is wrong. They said the same thing about the s5 now look over at their forum. I'm putting my money on sometime in the next 2 weeks
The carrier S5 wont receipt lolipop for quite a while longer, just because the international one got it doesn't mean we will.

I could care less about lollipop honestly. My Note 4 is butter.
Doesn't anyone read anymore? By that I mean the history of US carrier updates vs. international updates. We go through this EVERY OS upgrade. International phones are unlocked with no carrier bloat or needed approvals. Samsung can push the OS updates right to them or through Kies. The US Carriers receive the proposed update from Samsung, it then gets a pile of bloat that the carrier wants added to it, it goes back to Samsung for that and Samsung testing, then sent to the US Carrier for testing....IF...IF all is well, then the carrier then decides when is the best time to push out the update...maybe it is strategically approximated just AFTER a new phone comes out hoping people will rush to get the new device already updated....maybe it would be a slow period when they know they can dedicate their customer service to anyone out there having problems with the OTA...bottom line is it takes quite some time after the international phones get their update before any US Carrier sees it. And luckily for you guys it is usually Sprint and T-Mobile that stay ahead of that curve...my guess is the locked bootloaders and security on the other 2 carriers slows them down.
I Think you know already that no one reads anymore!
I doubt anyone reads anymore lol , its the same drill year in year out .

Show me the Ota
the latest flavor of Google's mobile operating system is now available for the GS5 in Poland, blog site SamMobile said Wednesday. Poland has been used by mobile device makers as a starting point to test out new Android updates before it spreads around the world. As such, the Polish launch is a good sign that Lollipop should soon start to pop up in other regions.
The Polish version of the Galaxy S5 has the same model number as the version used in Europe, according to blog site SlashGear, which means European users could be next on the list. Samsung is also likely to launch Android 5.0 in its home base of South Korea at some point in the near future.
A similar scenario has played out with LG's G3 smartphone. Owners of the phone residing in Poland were first on the list to receive a bite of Lollipop. Just a couple of weeks later, G3 owners in South Korea started seeing the update appear on their devices. Android 5.0 could reach GS5 owners in other regions before the month and year are over.
The US is a different story, however. Android updates in the US can take awhile as they have to be tested by not only the device makers but also the mobile carriers who must also certify and plan the rollout. As such, Galaxy S5 owners in the US are unlikely to get a lick of Lollipop until 2015.

Where in the world is the Verizon 5.1.1 update?

Seriously, why so long? This seems absurd even for Verizon.

Yes. Sprint got it a month ago.
I was thinking that it was taking abnormally long too, but since AT&T and T-Mo haven't gotten it yet, it makes me wonder. Especially since part of T Mobile's Note 4s have it and the others don't. (The ones with a different model number have them, but the original model numbers don't.)
Perhaps they are fine tuning stuff for the Qualcomm models and used Sprint as a guinea pig since Sprint barely has any subscribers anymore, it probably makes a great lab rat!

It is quite possible they are just going straight to Marshmellow. T-Mobile announced 6.0 update soon, perhaps AT&T and Verizon are doing the same.

I don't think so! I believe that we won't get 6.0 update in 2015. It's most likely that US carriers (VZW, ATT, TMB, and USC) will follow the international variants and push 5.1.1 update in 2015 (probably, it's due in October) and wait too long for the next big thing (M) sometime in 2016, after releasing it for the 2015 flagships (S6 and its family) in the next few months. However, I hope you're right.
Verizon always seems to be last and not fair to the older phones in the cue. To me we paid out our cash way before the S6 owners , no offense. I think the S4 will be the cut off so, why not be fair and start from that. Verizon, at least on the phone and in the stores, always bring up loyalty, show it!
But I wonder if it has anything to do that Verizon is a CDMA system

Leaks seem to be a thing of the past...rarely see them anymore. The 2 new nexus devices won't ship for another 3-4 weeks and that is more or less the official unveiling of 6.0, even though other Nexus devices are getting updates starting now. Then about a month after that you will see other devices getting updated. Samsung has to incorporate TW, HTC has to incorporate Sense 7, LG - LG Home, so those will take a little longer.

I read some carriers in Canada are receiving 5.1.1 on Note 4 via OTA.
AT&T got it today. I'm guessing T-Mobile will be next and We'll get it in January.

5.1.1 update 14-03-2016 G920I

Are you being serious Samsung what the actual ****. My friend works for a telco I won't say who and they have the firmware in beta testing, have done for 4 weeks now and overseas these updates are still being released where the hell is MM for our devices?
If I could swap the S6 for a 6P I would in a heart beat, if I could have legit aosp support and run that I would but I paid $1200 for a phone that is limited to modified stock so yes I'm a little salty.
I don't understand them or there business model and seeing everything they did right with the S7 made me a little bitter to, they released the s6 like a giant beta the s7 is the product that should of released but even then it's constricted to the business model that is becoming more and more vertical and apple esk.
This will be my last Sammy gone are the good old S2 days where I feel in love with the brand and LG has been doing some very cool but weird **** so for a stable good quality phone my next ones a nexus hands down.
Anyone else annoyed by samsungs inability to do a global software rollout?
Also before someone pipes up the F is on several different carriers in different geo locations so that's not the hold up, my bet is $$$$$

Always been a Samsung fan. But now... Its only disappointment. Just give us a good reason for not releasing mm for the I version.
Back in the days of the S2 unbranded always released first and carriers later, now, its apparently the other way around with galaxy s6... 6 more days and a full month has passed since MM was released and i still didnt get the update for my unbranded G920F...
Where we can sent a message to samsung? When Android N is gone release we get the Android M? WTF Samsung!!!
I bought the i version to have an unlocked device and unbranded so I could get the updates faster. Damn what a mistake! I am really mad now at Samsung. When I see that carriers are pushing MM updates for the S6, i am wondering what the heck Samsung is doing!
If there not gonna update they should at least open source so we can take over development which I thought they signed an agreement to do a few years back but apparently there new chipset is exempt or something??

Not on sammobile yet guess we will have to wait can you post the system up after download with modem bootloader etc

Update is out in india, supposedly you can get the previous INU.
Install, Factory Reset, then the update appears.
I may test this later, when I don't have importaint meetings at work
If I flash the 6.0.1 for example India will be a problem with my carrier because from Mexico?
Need to wait for someone to do custom stock with root Knox removed and DE bloat then you can change csc etc and use the rom anywhere with any carrier until then we wait

Its because the big 3 have a monopoly on the mobile phone business in Canada! We pay damn near the highest for cell phones in the world. We're at their mercy and nothing will ever change that and they know it.
We pay big bucks to the big 3 that is why they can get away with this. If somehow we stopped paying them you will see how they will beg for customers.
Looks like a new update was just released ARA1 about to install it.
Its the january update.
Yeah I'm on the Bell network and just got the January security patch yesterday
I am on october security patch. I think we may get oreo in March - April. I even wonder why people still buying Samsung devices.

Unlocked Samsung S10+ never received March Update

I own the S10+ unlocked SM-G975U1 how come there was no March update for it?
February is the latest. Samsung is a little slower on the USA unlocked variants...

Welcome to Samsung world! This is their flagship and they are already a late month. My Tmo Note8 still sits waiting for Pie while other phones are already playing with Android Q. If you want timely updates, never ever buy as Samsung phone. Look at their horrible update history which is 10 years old by now and it speaks for itself. Buy a Pixel phone instead and every 1st Monday of the month, you can expect an update as timely as clockwork. Samsung makes great hardware but don't expect software anything. It'll come when it does. And it will always be behind schedule.

I tried to recover my S10+(G975F/DS) from crushing on flashing Vendor.img through odin by flashing orignal firmware ASBA and then upgraded from OTA to ASCA, so try a clean recovery in odin

Disagree, my unlocked generic G9750 is on March update (and security patch) already
My unlocked SM-G975U1 still hasn't received the Match update. I think is mostly European versions of the phone that have received it now
