Lollipop should be coming soon

Lollipop is in the final stage of testing for all the tab pro series 12.2, 10.1, and 8.4
http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entr...-2-Lollipop-Update-is-coming-by-Early-Q3-2015

I really hope this is true. I am interested to see if they "toned down" TW like they did on the S6 .

great news, thanks for this..

I hope there's an option to not update for a while to see there are any "issues" after updating....I have a Nexus 5 and I'm still on kitkat due to all the battery life issues people had when updating it to lollipop....and it's a flagship google device!!!

Hope it doesn't come with CleanMaster as a pre-installed app
As the title says, hope that lollipop doesn't arrive with the installation of CleanMaster Malware. The malware CleanMaster got installed on my ASUS memopad 176c & cannot be truly "uninstalled"; it keeps resurrecting & keep getting notification that an update is available even if I "uninstalled" it; when the notification arrives, CleanMaster shows as "installed" again.
CleanMaster is in "/system/app/CleanMaster" & cannot be deleted by an unrooted device. So, how does one change setting?
Read statements that say Samsung is/will be installing CleanMaster even if it is a malware & trojan.

Every device has had some issues with every update. Period, this is nothing new, this is never going to change. Most of the issues are fairly rare, but of course those are the loud ones. ALL, every single one of the Lollipop upgrades for my variety of devices have been either ok, no big deal, or wonderful enhancements to an already good device.

I'm as anxious as anyone about getting lollipop but I would just like the option of waiting a bit after the update until others have tested it out. The tab pro8.4 is my first Samsung device and wasn't sure if samsung automatically update you or if you have the option to wait and update at your leisure so to speak. Have you done a Samsung update and know if you have the option of updating when you're ready or no? TIA!

It will alert you that there is an update, it will not automatically update

I'm never gonna update to lollipop. It runs smooth, i get 10 days battery with 7+ hours screen time and lollipop itself is bugged as **** anyway. Why fix something that isn't broken?
Btw, my knox and everything is frozen anyway, so I doubt I will be able to update in the first place.

tab pro 8.4 lollipop status asof 7-15-2015
Checked in with Sammobile & saw the news that 5.1.1 has passed final testing.
The status of 5.1.1 is now listed as "pending" which meant that the rollout won't be too long......maybe.

Read his post. He said he checked in with sammobile.

Interesting to see TabPro leap past Tab S to 5.1.1
It's already the faster of the two, now it's ending up with the newer OS despite being older.

Let's see if it ACTUALLY GETS 5.1.1 before cm13 comes up.

New Samsung UX?

So as some of you might've read already, the Note 5 'beta-test group' is receiving a new update, most likely the UX that will ship with the Note 7 that is bound to be released somewhere in August.
In my opinion it looks really clean and elegant while keeping that 'touchwiz' style. I'm hoping the UX will eventually (maybe with Android N) come to the S7 (edge)!
I'm curious whether this will also already work on our S7
If anyone is willing to try, please post your experiences and findings below! ^^

DP5 OTA?

Is anyone having trouble getting this OTA? I had 1-4 available right away, but I've been checking for an update since yesterday and nothing.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app

Same for my Nexus 6p. All of the prior DP OTAs were very quick, but I'm waiting for the DP5 OTA .
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app

Just wait and it will arrive, if you can't wait then sideload... simple.

Same boat, really wack.

Yea. It's annoying
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app

Don't side load from what I read it hasn't come for the 6p yet because of some issues that are being worked out. I haven't checked to see if they pulled the images but I would just wait for the OTA. I also read that dp5 is really laggy on the Nexus 6

I don't remember what site it was it was 4am and I was just having coffee and It came up in my Google now news feed. The post wasn't about that I read it in the comment section after the post. Also I see some people on here who did sidload it and are having problems with recovery and some apps. So personally I am going to wait till Google fixes it.

maybe they are actually trying to fix the slow-motion bug that has existed since release on 6.0. after a day or two, slow motion records very choppy. the small group of people who actually notice the bug think it will never get fixed. oh well....

I sideloaded DP5 to my 6P on Monday, and I can confirm that it's borderline disastrous. It's way slower and jankier than the last couple of preview milestones, and there's general bugginess that I didn't see in the last two builds. Additionally, I've had way more crashes than I experienced on DP3 and DP4, both of which were mostly stable. I hope the OTA delay means they are working out a few kinks, because I would hate for this to be what Google considers "near final" software.

Thanks for the heads up.

I'm sure that is what the delay is. I was thinking it was a OTA issue but then I saw your post a a few others. This is the first android phone I have ever owned that I didn't root right out of the box. I'm too tired to do all the flashing and deal with the bugs and all that. I didn't even opt in to the dev preview till dp3. With that said all my previous experience has taught me to research before I update or install new software and wait till it is mostly bug free. This phone just works. I won't have to root it till Google stops supporting it and I have to go with cyanogenmod

Could you do us a favor and let us know if/when the OTA pops up on your device? It would be nice to compare build numbers to see if Google is preparing an updated build for release.

Curtis Bond, Thanks for the very helpful post! I feel a lot more patient waiting for DP5 now.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app

Hey guys, I got mine around noon in Philadelphia, PA. Prior to that, I was experiencing the same issues you guys were in that my OTA was not showing up. Happy updating!

Me too I got mine at 12:30 pm in new York. It now says android 7.0 instead of Android n npd90g is the build number. I just finished with work so I have to test it out but so far it seems to be really good and snappy. And yes they fixed the toggle switches back to what they should be.

I just checked and OTA was ready to download. Installing dp5 now.

Downloaded and running....
Seems faster?

Google disabled the option to reply directly from lockscreen. Now everytime you want to reply you need to unlock the phone. What's the point?

If I already sideloaded will I get the fixed OTA? Did they uploaded the fixed version to https://developer.android.com/preview/download.html yet?

Tmobile Nougat update

Tmobile Nougat release moved to testing phase today!
Hoping to use this thread to track the release.
Sent from my SM-G930T using XDA-Developers Legacy app

It was moved to testing last week. There's really nothing to track. When it's complete it will push out.

Well see there.. it works! Lol.. i didnt know it happened last week thought i checked.

Was checking for update and got this and I'm on the latest MM firmware

usa is in planet Mars for Samsung nothing in time

I know the update is in "Tmobile Testing" and we are at the mercy of T-Mobile and their snail ? pace... But any inside scoop on the status? Maybe from someone who works on the inside?
-DMD

Anyone that is too impatient to wait like me check out the Post by r3xx3r on "How To" put the AT&T Nougat Firmware on the T-Mobile GS7 it was a total success for me. Obviously flashing comes with it risks but I can attest that it does in fact work perfectly fine. Cellular/Data ect..
Cheers ? all credit goes to r3xx3r and anyone else who made this happen!

I am actually quite pleased with the battery life on this AT&T firmware easily getting all day. Battery life on Nougat has been reported to be 10% less on average than Marshmallow. I'm thinking I may stay on this firmware for some time. Out here in the Caribbean constantly roaming, this firmware even lets me use Hotspot which is somthing that I could not use with the native Tmobile firmware

Just updated to the official this morning. Extremely smooth. So far, so good.

Yes, the nougat update is out. It is quite polished and runs very smooth.

Agreed worth the wait

I received the latest update of Oreo last night, hopefully it fixed the battery drain of the April update.
I get frustrated as well with Samsung's slow upgrade path but I have the Pixel 2XL as well as the Note 8 but the Note is better in so many ways.
Say what you will about the Samsung UI, it is pretty well though out, and you don't need to download separate apps to do the things you take for granted in the Note.
Build quality of the Note is vastly superior to the Pixel IMO.

o easily.. my friends as the pixel 2xl and note 8 build beats it by a mile. It just the support by samsung that sucks. Samsung UI has definitely improved from previous models like S4-S5.. I guess I was so spoiled with Nexus line and super fast updates.. lol
