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
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
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

This morning, I finally got the OTA for MM!!! YEAH! at least!
Hi, I'm currently using an LG G5 with T-Mobile. I'm considering jumping to either the V20, a Galaxy S7, or even an iPhone 7. Yes, I know Apple is blasphemy here, but since my kids use iPhones, I thought it might be beneficial to switch. Anyway, do you guys think any of the phones I've listed would be worth upgrading from my current G5?

I would say yes to any of 'em,speaking from experience of using Jump (JOD) to try out the G5/S7Edge & now the V20.
Even the iPhone,though it's not my cup of tea,I have (& rarely use) an iPhone4s that's issued by my employer.
Nothing wrong with trying something other than Android,& what better way than w/T-Mobile's Jump,easy enough to switch to something else if it's not to your liking.
Gotta ask 1st:
What has you looking to move on from the G5?
I suppose it doesn't really matter why,but,honestly,if the 2nd display & HI-FI DAC are of little consideration,I'd say try something a bit more different than the G5 & skip the V20.
I'd even go so far as to recommend the Note5 (64GB if possible),if you can find a store that has stock on-hand.
But,if being connected to the kids via Apple's ecosystem is a strong consideration,I'd say why not,but,if it were me,I'd go for the iPhone7+ for the larger display & upgraded rear camera.
I had an S7 and a S7 edge and found them lack luster at best. Experience lag when launching apps. There was a constant 2 second delay. On AT&T my s7 edge and even note 7 I had calls always had this clicking sound when using the phone. My v20 doesn't have this issue. So its a flaw in the Samsung devices. The v20 is very fast and if you want a large phone like the notes of old then this is the phone for you. Wish it had a built in stylus. Apple I would stay away as no 3.5 jack and you need to use itunes. In the end it's your choice and you could wait for black Friday sales and pick one up for cheaper if not a new phone release. I remember Amazon had nexus phone on sale for like 200 bucks last black friday. That's what I would do

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 ?

Getting tired of my iPhone 6S+ & fancied a change & wondered if it was to late to buy an Edge as Samsung will only guarantee another year of security updates.

No. It s gr8 phone But now you can think about Galaxy S8 or other phones like Xperia XZ Or LGG6
but if you want to taste something totally different go for s8
:good:
The nice part about a model such as the S7 edge is that, for the most part, most of the hardware issues should already be solved. (think the Note 7 batteries blowing up and causing fires, microphone issues with the Pixel, Battery issues with the iPhone 6 & 7).
Security patches and such can be an issue, but with nougat out on the S7's, and that it's been out on other devices well before this model, hopefully by the time that Samsung no longer provides security patches, most of the major problems may already be corrected.
The S8 looks like it's going to be one hell of a phone, it will receive updates / android upgrades long after the S7 will.
But, once the S8 becomes available, that is usually the best time to get the older model.
Stores will be trying to dump as much of the previous generation as fast as they can, to get more room for the new, shiny toy.
Tapatalk for Android - Works awesome on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
I'm on the fence too and am getting tired of my iPhone 6S Plus as well. I'd probably wait and see if stores try to bundle a SD card, wireless charger and the VR headset together if you're buying brand new. Or you may just find someone desperate trying to dump their phone for a dirt cheap price once the S8 is announced.
There's a difference between os upgrades (aka feature enhancements) and security updates. I'm confident you will get the later one still for some time as e.g. the S5 still receives security updates despite being already a bit more than three years on the market.

Thank you for that. Not doubting your word I thought Samsung only guaranteed security updates for two years?
You can check here by yourself: Firmware for Galaxy S5
Just if something is not guaranteed it does not mean they stop providing updates exactly after two years. I guess for this part it is at least two years after end of sale of the product and (former) flagships may be preferred regarding such policy.
Well I want to know how satisfy are you with this phone.
Why would you change it and why not?:good:
I won't. I have really bad experiences with LG electronics and my Samsung phone (and previous ones from Sony) work perfectly and do exactly what I want. I'm really satisfied with my purchase and I wouldn't see any reason to switch between these phones. I wouldn't gain anything but wasting a bunch of money.
Never

Too big!
Nope. Years ago I bought the LG G2, the first one with the knock knock turn on and off screen. That G2 was a lame duck, first the knock knock stopped working and then the phone died. Many people like the phone but my particular experience was a bad one. Then I bought the Google Nexus 5, LG build the phone, I really like my first Nexus phone, the 5. Right now I got a Google Pixel XL and the Galaxy S8+, my favorite is the S8+. I'm not interested anymore in Google Pixel's phones. Next year Galaxy S9+ is a go.

I don't have to have LG or Samsung specifically, but if G6 does everything that I need + is much cheaper than S8, I could change it. I paid for my S8 less than LG charges for G6, so it was an easy decision + S8 seems narrower for one-handed use.
I had galaxy S4 (i9505) from the first few weeks of its release until 40 days ago and I hadn't single problem with it. Now I got Galaxy S8 and I hope it will be as good as S4. Although LG G6 still is a very good phone but I prefer sumsung for its design and quality.
Do not, in any circumstances, buy an LG phone. Just Google LG G4 bootloop fiasco and all of their other build failures. If you want a phone that will last, buy a Samsung
No thanks, I said goodbye to Lg after my nexus 5x bootloop issue...They just gave me another device willing to die anyways
Samsung is much more serious about anything as a brand besides the superiority of the S8 over the LG G6

Lg g6 is slower than s8. S8 has newer processor.
The s8 design and edge screen is more beautiful.
Samsung is a better brand imo.
Never I don't see any reason while I'm enjoying my s8 plus no phone can come closer to my experience till today
Maybe. The curve screen and it's easy of breaking might make me. The G6 need to be under 500 though, it doesn't really match up with the s8, but it still seems to have decent specs.
no, since the bootloader's still locked >: (
The single reason I used to buy LG was the unlockable bootloader.
S8, though /shrug

I came from the G2. After 4 years, it has better battery life than my s8 and is sometimes a lot smoother (its running 7.1.2). I regret buying the s8.

Well, I don't regret buying the LG G2 at my former mobile service company AT&T. When it came out lots of people like it, me too. The knock knock turn on and off the screen was a big hit at the time. My G2 was a lemon, bad luck. In all this years I bought the flagships(at the time) of HTC, Samsung and why not LG, cause the G2 was the flagship of LG at the time. If your G2(today) runs and is more smooth than your Galaxy S8 good for you. Years ago I owned a Google Nexus 5 and I own a Google Pixel XL since October 4, 2016(the day it comes out). Smooth yes, no bloatware from the builder (the Nexus 5 was made by LG and the Pixel XL is made by HTC) and direct upgrades of the Android Platform. I can't tell if my Pixel XL is more smooth than my Galaxy S8 Plus, but I can tell that my favorite is S8+(by the way my S8+ is a faster runner and smooth phone). Never rooted, never flashed a rom or platform upgrade so my opinion regarding yours LG G2 running Nougat is not a solid one.
