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.

It's an updated post, saying that the PRO line will get 5.1.1, the previous link said 5.0.2

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.

L24 B140 update

Anyone else get a software update today? I just got my phone in the mail and was surprised it updated. Any one know where I could find the change log?

I haven't received anything yet. I'm still on B130.

Does this contain the android update to marshmallow or is this an emui update to 4.0?

This is just a maintenance release. It includes an update to the monthly Android security patch level. Android M is coming in a future update.

I was working on the review of the device and now I have to wait till my device gets the update
will it fix the lag issues ?

I have had no lag issues with the device so far. Been using it all night. Only ever used it with B140
Sent from my KIW-L24 using Tapatalk

No real lag issues here either, but I don't use my phone as a PC. Hell I'm even running smart mode and no issues.

Has anyone tried to pull the update file so that it can be uploaded to XDA?

Same here, no lag issues at all. As soon as I got the phone I did eliminate animations and set power saving to normal. No lag and battery life is excellent. My old HTC One + needed 2 full charges to get through the day. On this I get a full two days.
I have a 0.5 amp desktop USB - I know almost useless, it came with my bluetooth headset. I am too lazy to crawl under the desk and replace it. A few hours during the day and the Honor is topped up. I don't charge at night anymore. Nor forget to charge at night.

Can you post a TWRP recovery of the update?

So has anyone other than the OP received the update?
Slowest rollout ever.
@wimbet any idea why this is taking so long?

Still on B130 here.

I'd love to get something to flash in bootloader

Bummer this update didn't fix your downloaded apps icons. Still don't reflect how they're shown in the theme preview. Maybe next update!

To buy or not to buy

I plan on buying the H8 now since it has a gotten a price cut recently. I noticed a few things browsing the forums here.
1. There is thread here in this forum about ways to save battery in the H8, how much is the actual SOT truthfully if someone would kindly tell, in a trickle usage, say 15 to 30 mins of gaming, an hour or 2 of watching YouTube, quite a few hours of music playback both stressing and local, and always on Wi-Fi, and also I'd want my notifications when they arrive but ALSO I DO NOT USE FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM OR SNAPCHAT. Just WhatsApp and Hangouts.
2. What is the screen getting dim issue ?
3. If I don't unlock the bootloader and root my device, I'll get all OTA's. Now, in a thread here only I was reading about updates being launched in a website about a week or two before OTA launch. The latest one being for the November patch with EMUI 5.0.1. How the hell did the updating system of the H8 work can anyone clarify.
4. And what is the requirement for rebranding the phone to 19 from 09 or 04.
I want to get this phone for its screen, and performance mainly. Can anyone also share if I should be aware of any other bugs or issues with this phone before making a final decision.

1) with what ur doing, probably around 5 hrs SOT, 5hrs 45 mins maybe if u tinker with the settings, I've gotten 6 hrs with 10 percent left before doing mostly YouTube and reddit.
2) no idea what that issue is, don't think I've ever had it
I don't really mess with my phone's so idk about 3 and 4.
So far i haven't ran into any big bugs. I've had this phone for a year and it's great, performance is really smooth. Maybe a hiccup here or there but they are few and it recovers pretty quick.

Mine is frd-lo4 and I'm on b389

If you are on a budget and can't afford the Honor 9. Then why not.

Will probably not receive any further major updates. Security updates are currently available but I'm guessing not for much longer.
If you want a phone for the screen and performance (uncertain about which kind of) you can save some money and go for Moto G5s Plus. Faster graphics processing if you're gaming. Also potentially better software support and development (Oreo available).

Is that the Indian edition ??

If you pair your phones to a bluetooth enabled automobile, then I would not recommend the Honor 8. Nougat 7.0 has issues with several auto manufacturers, just google it. Google's 7.1.2 release was suppose to fix this issue, along with the Oreo update which adds in even more bluetooth codecs, thanks to Sony's help. Since we are stuck on 7.0 and no idea if the Honor 8 will ever see another update, I would avoid it unless you can find a friend with this phone and test pairing it to your auto before buying. It is not pairing to my 2013 Elantra.

i was about to do this but someone on the MIUI forum said MIUI updates are specific for the region they're released for & won't be the same as other regions. i wasn't sure if this was true but to be on the safe side i didn't update. what do you think ?

I haven't tried it myself but I always thought notifications weren't working for me if things like battery saver or miui optimization were enabled in developer options. for example I can receive textra sms notifications fine and a few other apps but not from Line messenger. I never tried disabling it to see if it fixed I'm just guessing but I did google about it before. some will say turning off miui optimization fixes certain things. that could make sense if u stop letting it mess with background data to conserve power. others will also say it's a problem with miui 9 itself that xiaomi needs to fix

latest firmware update has resolved my issues but i had to use outlook app for email as the stock email app notifications did not work

Wow, although not uncommon, that puts us at like #8 in OTA's/Updates, with 1 being more significant, prior to this one). Checking out the goods now, always pleased to see them improving the camera function, which is the feature that snagged-me years ago!!
Many thanks again, for sharing our good news!

Just got mine for U1 on Verizon.

Received One UI 3.1 yesterday (unlocked/USA).

Got mine last night - (locked/AT&T/USA)

I'm getting the following error, a quick search was mostly posts from years ago. Just wondering if anyone else was seeing this before they got the update.

Did this a few days ago and got One UI 3.1 right away. I had been having the same error for the last 2 weeks when checking for updates. I'm guessing that they just blocked updates for certain device variants so that they can roll out 3.1 slowly, but the update is on their server just waiting for us guys and it can be claimed early by using Smart Switch on PC.
