Hi,
Samsung Galaxy S5 is officially dead now? I mean software side. Where is the S5's Official Nougat update?
Samsung Galaxy S5 released 2014 April and it took last big update in 2016 March. 1 year 11 month official OS update support time.
Competitor's introduced phone at the same time still receiving OS updates.
Samsung Galaxy S5 users dont you feel worthless?
If samsung did this to me I would never buy Samsung again. Because I know the value of my money. Samsung just force you to replace your phone due to lack of updates. It's a cheap trick for a make profit.
Samsung Galaxy S6 will probably also stay on Android 7.0
Samsung Galaxy S7 will probably also stay on Android 8.0
Samsung Galaxy S8 will probably also stay on Android 9.0
Samsung Galaxy S series users what do you think about that?
Its not a good strategy for a create loyal buyers. That strategy creates own haters.

rooted, twrp'd and ROM'd, dont feel worthless at all as i havent got OTA's since the 4th day of owning this device, and that was 3 years ago
that and the problem with the S5 is that that there are over a dozen version of it and they all have their own specific quirks that Samsung would have to allow for
Why the hate? And why ask that question on xda? xda users don't tend to rely on 'official' updates anyway. I rooted my S5, used CWM and flashed CM12 (or whatever it was then) the second day I owned my S5. I now have Lineage 14.1, SIM unlocked 32gb µSD card, it is working like a pro! I don't plan to get a newer phone anytime soon.
Thread closed as it is of no relevance as of now.

Good news guys! Galaxy S5 mini 5.1.1 Lollipop is coming!!!
source
I Do not believe it will be launched soon. usually there are leaks from samsung..it is not the case..
anyone have more precise info?
samsung just announced that the newly arrived e5 and e7 won't be getting lollipop even though lollipop was promised and some e5 already run it (weird stuff). my point being, i'm not optimistic that the s5 mini will get android 5.0. if you remember samsung promised 4.4 kitkat for the international s3 mini and never gave the update, despite it being one of the top 10 selling devices across the globe. the s5 mini was going to get 5.0 between early may and late june and since no leaks have been found the chances are slim. hope i'm wrong, of course.
What a joke. At least release the S6 mini so we can upgrade.........

And that in itself is a joke. I just bought my S5 mini only a few months ago. I'm not going to just go buy a new S6 because Samsung thinks that I need to do that, when I have a perfectly fine S5 mini that they can upgrade, as they said it would be.
I will never EVER buy a Samsung product again with how they have handled this.
you need to stay away from samsung phones unless they are a galaxy s or a note, or at least an alpha (minis excluded). after my post above i searched the web and found that i was wrong (at least theoritically) because samsung uk officially stated the s5 mini will get lollipop, if i'm not wrong the uk version is the exynos one (international). but i don't trust them till i see the update myself.

Me too. Except S Note series... But if they break Note series, THAT'S IT. I'M OUT OF SAMSUNG COMMUNITY.
The 5.0.1 update was promised in the late Q2 2015, but -I reaaaaally hope- was cancelled because Sam is cooking the 5.1.1 update (as samsung.youmobile.org says). In this case we'll have to wait a couple of months to see if Sam says something about.
I think my next smartphone will be the next Nexus 5 after the upcoming 2015 revision (if Google release another Nexus 5 in 2016) or maybe a Nokia smartphone if they really come to Android...

The idiotic response to that by Samsung. Just more ways to totally irk your consumer-base:

People are already so pissed that they don't have Lollipop, let's keep more secrets and things from them to make them hate Samsung more! Dumbfounding.

Is there any posibility to install the us version on g800f?
Sent from my SM-G800F using XDA Free mobile app
No, you can't. The main US version mounts an Snapdragon SoC, the european an Exynos SoC. Both versions are technically different, although they share specs the SoC isn't the same. Two SoCs, two different ROMs...

Hi, I know that S5 G900F(no atm)/M/S that it has released on April 2014 and it is getting Android 6.0.1 TW Official from Samsung, and I am answering me if Galaxy S4 Value Edition I9515 gets Android 6.0.1 TW official from Samsung, because it has released on end May 2014 and it has good specs to run it without a problem. It is more modern than S5 theorically, and if it gets it, it can be port to normal i9505 variant?? Because it has same specs including Snap 600 and Adreno 320.
Thankss for your attention.
Have a nice day.
I doubt Samsung will release Marshmallow TW for any of the S4 models, even if they at capable of running it.
They have a stupid 2 year update warranty policy. What it means is that, for those 2 years, the device will get updates, but once those 2 years are up, no more software updates.
The only thing Samsung will provide now will probably just security updates.

Agreed, am seriously doubting that too.
Not to mention that we're seeing those ads 'upgrade to the Galaxy S6/S7 and get $250 dollars worth of accessories from our online store' on Facebook.
It also seems very stupid that they have not yet fixed the lag on the task switcher which I am sure that the S4 is capable of running smoothly even after 3 lollipop OTA updates.
Samsung unlike most OEMs always have a habit of not fully upgrading the UI of certain apps like the lockscreen, camera app, voice recorder, music or even to add a S6 themer in bid that those extra features will justify an upgrade.
Not being harsh on Samsung as other phone makers have the same 2 year update period unless if it's apple or something, but they could have at least upgraded the UI properly.
So yeah, I'd recommend the OP not to hold his or her breath.

why are we stuck at 6.0 for so long? ( i know there are unofficial 7.0 roms but still)
Each Galaxy Flagship has 2 years major support from Samsung, for Note 4 it's already passed 2 years.
so as per Samsung and most of other company logics and standards, if you want the latest updates you need to get a new phone, even if your old phone is capable and better than most of the new phones.
While the Note 4 could easily run Nougat if Samsung decided to release it. I seriously doubt that we will see Nougat for the Note 4. Samsung hasn't even address the swappable battery charging problem with any of their OS updates, yet.
This is what I absolutely hate about this business. They make devices obsolete by not updating them anymore. Politics really has to do something about this.
even with the 6.0 marshmallow update, they didn't change it much from the previous version. even they update the Tab s2 to 7.0 which has the same chip and ram.
Why should they? Even if Note4 is still a good phone, it is pretty old model, no point in upgrading it. The competition is huge, Samsung has to concentrate on new models. They want people to buy new phones, not upgrading old ones, and even if for some of us seems totally pointless to buy a new handset because of it´s new OS, some others do it.

So why Apple still support 2012 iPhone 5 in 2017 ?
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.
I am making this thread because i see that quite a bit of people are wondering if 3 year old flagship from Samsung is going to receive Oreo.
Yes it is. No release date yet. It was confirmed to me by Samsung here are some screenshots
Wow I hope thats true. I think we annoyed Samsung so much with that question that they considered just to make that update
FINALLY!

Galaxy S6 Android Oreo Update
Galaxy S6 Android Oreo Update
Samsung still isn’t saying much about its future plans for Android Oreo so we can’t tell you anything with one hundred percent certainty. That said, we can tell you a little bit about Samsung’s history.
The company typically keeps its Galaxy devices upgraded with major Android software updates for two years before killing off support. The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge started on Android Lollipop and they’ve been upgraded to Android Marshmallow and Android Nougat.
The Galaxy S6 celebrated its third birthday in April which means there’s a very good chance it’ll stay put on Android Nougat. After all, Samsung Turkey and Samsung Canada have both left the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge off lists outlining upcoming Android Oreo updates.
The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge also have disappeared from Samsung’s list of quarterly and monthly security updates. This all but confirms bad news for those of you holding out hope for Oreo. The Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Galaxy S6 Active both remain on the list.
There’s also a chance Samsung decides to push a third major update to the Galaxy S6 series.
The company still hasn’t released an official list of devices getting upgraded Android 8.0 Oreo, but we’ve seen unofficial lists appear on Weibo and XDA-Developers.
The list from Weibo includes the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, and Galaxy S6 Active while the list from XDA-Developers, which is based on data pulled from the Galaxy Note 8 Oreo update, doesn’t.
T-Mobile’s also seemingly confirmed Android Oreo updates for the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, and Galaxy Note 5, but nothing is official until Samsung itself confirms the development.
According to multiple Samsung customer service reps, the Galaxy S6 will be getting Android Oreo. The information comes from threads on Reddit and XDA-Forums where posters state they were told that the company is currently working on a Galaxy S6 Android Oreo update behind the scenes.
One customer rep went as far as to say the Galaxy S6 Android 8.0 Oreo update is set to arrive sometime in January or February. That obviously didn’t happen.
Customer service representatives have been known to push bogus information to those asking questions over the phone and online so take this information with an immense grain of salt.
If Samsung does update the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, and Galaxy S6 Active with Android Oreo it will inch the company’s software support closer to Apple’s support for the iPhone. Apple typically keeps iPhones updated for four (five now that the iPhone 5s is getting iOS 12) years before kicking them to the curb.
At this point though, Galaxy S6 users shouldn’t be holding their breath.
Galaxy S6 Oreo Release Date
If Samsung decides to release Android 8.0 Oreo for the Galaxy S6, and that’s a huge if, it probably won’t release the software in June.
With the Android Oreo update just now hitting the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, we’re likely months away from a roll out. If there is one.
Samsung Canada’s confirmed Android Oreo support for the Galaxy Xcover4, Galaxy A8, Galaxy J3 Prime, Tab A8 and Tab A10.1. The regional arm says those updates will arrive later in 2018.
It makes no mention of the Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge.
Having launched more than two years before than Android Oreo’s release, the Galaxy S6 is not eligible for the Android 8.0 update.
soo wait and see fellaazzz!!!
The S6 never get Oreo officially
In that way, the port of A8 2016 with Oreo is under development.
