Downloading now!
Same here! Whooo hoo! I hope to see improvements with the battery life and occasional lag.
Edit: It's taking forever to download.
Same here
5th Try
I have tried to update around 5 times. 2 of which I fully wiped the phone. I keep getting "upgrade failed", and installation interrupted. This is really frustrating...
Someone please save it before applying it and upload for those of us not so lucky to get it...as if there's so many Note Edges out they need to be selective...but thats' ATT
edit: it's downloading for me. I'll try to save it and upload 1.2GB sounds like a full rom not an update. None of my previous phones lollipop updates were this large!
Downloading right now! This makes up for not having root yet for att. Download is real slow though
It is taking over 2 hours to download.....
Downloading it now it is a snail paced download, hopefully fixing some kitkat issues.
I have an Outlook forced device encryption. What are all the "Must do" steps before I can install successfully? I'm sure it will fail based on past experiences. Txs.
Anyone have any idea when the Best Buy Samsung reps will get this update pushed to their system? I bought the regular Note 4 because I wanted Lollipop right away but I had to go to the Samsung kiosk at BB to get the update pushed to my phone. I was there last night at 10pm and they said that it was still listed as KitKat in the system. I'm hoping for something before my 14 days with the Note expires.
Took 4 hours to download.
Runs fast. Has the blocking mode exception. Battery life seems a little worse, for now. Maybe because I'm playing with it too much...

can you upload it im in canada and have the at&t N915A version but might not get the update here. http://cdn4.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon14.gif
Finally!! Took 2hrs to download for me. Been running it for about 4 hrs and it's definitely an improved experience. No lag, I can write using the stylus without the urge to throw my phone at a wall lol.. and it doesn't take a decade to view my recent apps. Its about damn time AT&T!
I wonder if this would be workable on a T-Mobile phone since Roms are usually interchangeable.
Issues so far
To all who have upgraded - Do you also experience the following issues:
Notifications do not show in the "briefing panel" any more
Floatification shows duplicate notifications
the night clock is too bright now due to the thicker font used
when I select an item on the S Planner panel it takes me to yesterday's calendar entries
Notifications on the Lock Screen cover the user information (could become a big deal because I have a message asking to call my wife's number if found)
Apart from that I like Lollipop but I hope the issues above can be resolved somehow.
UPDATE: Some of the issues went away after a couple of restarts I am MUCH happier already!
Thanks!
Second failed attempt here trying to download and install the update from AT&T onto my Edge.
And I have to wait another 24 hours to try again.
Anyone else having an issue trying to get this to install successfully?
Third times a charm, right?

Just set your clock forward 24 hours and so on and try again immediately.
My 2 credits...
Well, for me the download took about 1.5 hours, the update took about 30 min (including app updates) all went fine, settings seem to have carried over fine. (precautions I took were, left the phone on the charger, kept it on the same stable wifi connection, did not use the device other than checking on status, disabled lock screen pin)
Cheers

Now to exploring 5.0.1
I'm on vacation in Japan and updated from start to finish inside 30 minutes.

I took it, FoxFi still works :good: Odd thing is that the security patch is dated Feb 1...I thought this was going to get us March
Maybe someone can post their "about" screens and we can compare...may have gotten a new kernel or something.

Thanks! Yeah just looked at mine (pre-update) and the security patch says February 1st as well. Well good thing they locked our bootloader to keep us safe /s.
FoxFi continues to work fine after latest update: VZW GS7E
Anybody know exactly what it did?

This is what the Verizon page says...very useful, not.
I'm very conflicted emotionally about this, on the one hand I'm frustrated that I don't know what this update did and on the other hand I'm overjoyed that after a week I already have an update to a Verizon Samsung phone....meanwhile my galaxy S6 hasn't received an update since November LOL.
It seems like it is just a security patch

I'd like a damn fix for downloading pdfs on chrome from my school's page, moodle. Samsung rep said he had no idea why it doesn't work, even after a factory reset. I'll try this now, knowing it probably isn't the fix I'm looking for.
Any chance of someone injecting root into the update, or is it to early?
Trying to decide whether to push it off or just grab it. I got the update notification on my s7 edge my wife has had nothing on her s7.

Security update without the most recent security patch even though Verizon says "The current software update gives you the most up to date Android™ security patch on your device.". Lame. They probably found a root exploit and closed it.

What browser? I have no problem downloading PDFs with Chrome.
Android System usage seems to be way less after this update. As of typing this its 12%, instead of mid 20's to mid 30's.

I'm using chrome. I was at bestbuy and my phone wouldn't download the PDFs, we did a factory reset and it worked. The next day it did not.
I went back in and the Samsung rep said sorry I don't know what's wrong. We downloaded different apps to open PDF, but chrome defaulted to its file viewer and said can not open PDF. But it works fine on opera. I'm going to go in tomorrow, and if it doesn't work in going to keep swapping phones until they figure it out. It's annoying and it seems to be a chrome issue with Adobe and chrome pulling plugs, but idk. I don't think the rep should back away from the issue.

No such luck for me, if anything it seems higher.
I had never seen 30% but that's what I'm looking at now.

Mine was up around that before the update, then a couple hours after it dropped to 10 to 12. Stayed there the rest of the day. Will be keeping an eye on it tomorrow to see how it is off a full charge.
I noticed that my phone goes into doze mode better. When I would take the phone if the charger at 100% and let it sit I would not enter doze mode. The battery would lose some percentage points instead of staying at 100%. This morning I took the phone if the charging pad at 7am and checked the phone at 8:15 am and it was still at 100%.
ZV9 Should be dropping soon!

Wonder what's in it besides security fixes?
Its about 353.7mb,but for some reason it wont download. Its downloading,just needed a restart
One thing i can tell you is that the upgrading has changed,instead of the green android showing up when its installing,its now a multi colored circle. When phone restarts from install,the final upgrade look has changed as well
Still doesn't fix messages lag since 7.0 that's highly annoying and I don't even use this line that much for it.
Also for awhile I randomly get Amazon photos has crashed, but I don't even have it installed haha

I get that as well and I have it disabled
I don't think I have gottin the Amazon crash with the newest update but I well could have I have just came to except it. :/ Before the newest update it seemed to happen most for me right after plugging in the charger. And also I have all the Amazon crap disabled so it's rather odd.

Hi there I have a Huawei Honor Note 8. I've owned it for 4 weeks and I LOVE this phone. I don't have auto-update enabled on the Google Play Store so I do it manually and it worked until today. When I clicked update (there were 16 updates available and I only chose 15) it just sat there saying it was downloading but it wasnt. It went an hr and nothing still. The little icon kept on twirling around and each app individually kept saying downloading but nothing. It once did download but not now. So I went to the permissions in the settings and everything was still checked. Also, contacts stopped synching so I went to accounts and went to sync to do it manually and when I clicked sync all, it just sat there and nothing happened as if it were frozen. I knew I was taking a chance by ordering something from out of the country but everything worked fine the first few weeks.
I read that a system update came out and that people were having issues with their bluetooth connections after the update so I didnt accept any updates from Huawei in fear of those few comments. Do you think that has something to do with it and should I always accept system updates from huawei?
Confused but in LOVE with this device, best device I've ever owned. Im in the USA by the way if that matters. Also, browsing the web with wifi works fine so the wifi isnt the problem.

The update sucks and I'd like to go back to stock firmware. Anyone know how to do this without tripping knox? Surprised once u unenroll from the bats program it doesnt have an ota to go back to official firmware like Google does with the pixels and such.

Lol it's beta what did you expect, anyway you'll need to download a firmware for your variant and then flash through odin, this doesn't trip Knox or anything.

This will wipe data unfortunately, I'm not sure if there's a way to do it without wiping it.

Yeah I dont notice enough of an upgrade to deal with the lack of stability. I got all the developer previews on my Nexus 6p and none were this bad. Did using smart switch wipe your data?

Yes it wiped my data but I was beyond frustrated with the oreo beta and just wanted the phone back to the way it was the day I bought it. All seems well back on 7.0. I did unenroll from the beta on the samsung+ app prior to flashing back to stock with smart switch and as soon as it booted back into the stock firmware, I was prompted to download the oreo beta. Highly annoying but found an app that allows you to block software update notifications. You would think samsung would take a few notes from google and provide an ota rollback to get back to stock but they didn't. Luckily smart switch was the easiest software I ever used to restore a phone. Literally plug in and just wait.

OK I used the cheater app to get Samsung + to give me the Beta on my unlocked S8. There is not a dis-enroll option in Samsung + that I can see (because I used the cheater app perhaps?) when I was on the Beta or now that I'm back on 7.0. I did use Smart Switch to downgrade. So as soon as I log in after downgrading, the Beta automatically downloads and best you can do is say install later which is says it will do at night. I factory reset thinking the upgrade it tied to my Samsung account but no, I sign in with a different Google ID and a different Samsung ID but still the Beta downloads. How and the hell do I get this to stop? All I can think of is see if I can disable updates with BK. This crazy.

Yeah I'm using bk disabler and it hasn't tried to force install the update. I'm sure once the official release of oreo comes out we will be good to go with deleting that app. That beta program is some trash. Lol

Well it really looks no different, no magic feature that I noticed except duel messenger if you use that. I will offer the advice that if it's not offically offered to you via Samsung + where you will be able to dis-enroll, stay away. I forced it with the app being pushed here on XDA and now I can't keep it off unless I want to disable system update with BK. Just spent an hour on the phone with Samsung application support, they remoted into my phone then escalated the ticket for a callback. RutRow, wish there was a cheater app to dis-enroll in the beta.
So I took the plunge, even installed it without wiping and no issues at all. Not even a single crash or anything

The thing I couldn't take is when long scrolling, like a webpage where it take multiple finger swipes to get to the bottom or an app like Flibboard where you continue to scroll, the app will just close and your kicked back to the desktop.
Can you tell me how the Beta sign-up goes thru the app, Sammy support keep asking me what steps I did to sign up for the Beta. like they are wise to people forcing it. She asked a few times if I filled out a form. Thanks

You should tell them exactly how you cheated the system to get Oreo. Otherwise, you are just delaying the trouble shooting, when they are looking at the wrong end due to your lies.
