G900PVPU3BOK4 released!!

Sprint Global Roaming

Security Updates

Minor UI Updates

http://goo.gl/4s4JcT
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] PaterickB:
I wonder why they went with OK4 and not OK5?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] sputnik767:
Can't point to anything specific. Having said that, 6.0 has been confirmed for the GS5. The 18 month support thing is a manufacturer concern, not a carrier one as far as I know. So while I can't point to if/when we will get it, the fact that it will be released by Samsung makes the likelihood of our phones getting it extremely high. And on the off chance that we don't, I still couldn't care less about 5.0 vs 5.1. I have more important things to do than worry about which version of software my phone is running.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] PaterickB:
Can't point to anything specific but it's confirmed? LOL.. If you have more important things why comment here spreading rumors?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] sputnik767:
Ugh, here's a link :rolleyes:

http://www.sammobile.com/2015/10/09...on-android-6-0-marshmallow-for-these-devices/

For the record, that link mentions GS5 on Verizon and not just the international version as previous road map leaks. And since sammobile is a reputable source, these aren't quite the rumors you think they are.

I guess I need to clarify. You said that there is no confirmation regarding 6.0 for the GS5 on sprint. So I said that there is nothing specific for sprint, but that Samsung has confirmed 6.0 for the GS5. Makes sense? Kind of thought that was clear. To your second question, I come here to stay up to date on what's happening regarding my phone, look for solutions to possible issues that may arise, and occasionally comment on some of the ridiculousness that I see here. But perhaps most importantly (because it directly relates to your reading comprehension skills), what I said was " I have more important things to do than worry about which version of software my phone is running." As in I don't care whether my phone has 5.0, 5.1, or 6.0. I just care that I have a working device, which I do, and have no complaints. But that in no way precludes me from making a comment on this forum regarding people who come here to whine about when their next update is coming.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] PaterickB:
This is a thread to talk about updates to the phone, so questions about 5.0, 5.1, 6.0 are relevant. Ugh, maybe it is your reading comprehension needs work? If you have more important things to worry about, why chime in here?

To get this thread back on topic, has anyone gotten the new update yet?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] sputnik767:
Interestingly, this thread remained on topic until your reply that I quoted for posterity above.

Again, and it bothers me that I have to repeat this a second time, but this seems to be the trend with you, so here goes:

What I said was "I have more important things to do than worry about which version of software my phone is running." As in I don't care whether my phone has 5.0, 5.1, or 6.0. I just care that I have a working device, which I do, and have no complaints. But that in no way precludes me from making a comment on this forum regarding people who come here to whine about when their next update is coming.

So I hope that clarifies as to why I decided to chime in, not that it needed clarification and certainly not twice. I agree that this thread has been derailed enough. If you're still unclear as to why I decided to comment here, feel free to read my old posts. Or you can ask it a third time so I can laugh at you.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] PaterickB:
Wow, its nice that you have your opinion, but not everyone shares it. If this bothers you so much that you want to attack people for posting I can't stop you and will just ignore anything else you have to say from here on out.

Just got the update. It is 358.99 MB. Still 5.0. Shows security patch (2015-11-01) level like Marshmallow does. Spinning spark is gone.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Cooljb:
I just got it too, and at 358 MB it's obviously not a trivial update. I figured they would get rid of the spinning Spark icon, first because it was really annoying, and secondly because Spark has become "LTE Plus" now. I don't like that the signal strength icon doesn't have a data activity indicator though. Some up/down arrows or something similar would have been nice, but it just shows the signal strength bars with LTE above them. Nothing to indicate data activity. The signal strength icon is the only UI difference I've noticed.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] edlee:
Aosp android removed data activity a long time back, maybe kitkat, because they claim its a major waste of battery life to keep showing activity.

So I guess samsung and sprint followed suit.

I copied this from phandroid post

"the removal of the little in/out data traffic arrows from the RSSI) was mostly a performance consideration, believe it or not. The way the data bits are bubbled up and drawn was not only causing a ton of extra rendering work, but actually forcing a layout (!) in the status bar as well. We could have more aggressively cached the bitmaps (rather than creating new BitmapDrawables from resource IDs every time, which was causing the relayout) but that would still have left all the drawing—multiple times per second in some cases—sucking away precious CPU and GPU from your game or Launcher animations or whatever. In the end it seemed like a lot of work (and battery) for what was effectively visual noise, so this too was booted to Quick Settings where it would be available for us nerds."
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Cooljb:
Very interesting. Good to know.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Cooljb:

Just saw that 6.0 is rolling out in Korea. Hopefully Sprint won't be too far behind. I guess Sprint isn't updating the PRLs anymore?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] dmolavi:
PRL != RDF.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] emanuelrv:
RDF	Remote Distribution Frame (Sprint)

The Preferred Roaming List (PRL) is a database residing in a wireless (primarily CDMA) device

Galaxy S5 with Marshmallow 6.0.1

I received the Marshmallow 6.0.1 update OTA from Sprint about 2AM on April 4th. I'm experiencing freeze ups and error messages "TouchWiz Home" has stopped responding, apps freezing and data is slower. I performed a soft reset that didn't help. I need to contact Sprint Tech. By the way, the Hotspot activation process for the S5 in another thread no longer works. Access to the APN Type is granted for viewing only. I can no longer add "dun" which really sucks.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] chippinganimal:
By soft reset do you mean factory reset? becuase that is usually reccomended after doing an OTA update if you experience problems. Also, if it does end up being stable, would you mind flashing twrp and making a system backup or "dump" so we can flash it on our own phones? Thats what the people on the International Galaxy s5 varient forum did (i think it was the g900f model) and they made roms out of it and everything.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Waltg888:
I performed a soft reset and then a factory reset which helped, but I'm still having issues. As for the flashing and rom back ups that you're requesting, I'm a novice as it relates to the inner workings of the Android. I shared a couple of screen shots, but I can't help you with the other requests. Sorry!

Sept 6, 2016 - Just received 50 to 60MB update from Sprint. Version G900PVPU3CPH3. Not clear on what's changed in this update.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Waltg888:
If no one else has received the PH3 software update on your Sprint Galaxy S5, I'm left with suspicion or serious curiosity regarding this update on my phone only.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] emanuelrv:
is a security update
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Cooljb:
It's probably mainly a security update. I got it on my old, unactivated S5 and on my wife's active S5 too. Sprint usually posts a blurb about the updates on their website. They haven't posted anything on PH3 yet though. Here's what they posted about the last update (PG1):

https://community.sprint.com/baw/message/1051463#1051463

So there are likely other small fixes/changes besides the security patch.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Waltg888:
Good to hear! Thanks much!

PJ2 Update

Just downloaded today, 86 MB. October 1 security patch level. I'm really impressed that Samsung is still making updates to this phone.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Waltg888:
I just received a software update notice from Sprint today, Nov 10 for version G900PVPU3CPJ2 consisting of 86.12 MB. Anyone else receive this update or notice?

new update: G900PVPU3CPL2
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Cooljb:
Got this on my wife's phone. It's something like 237 MB, so it's more than just security updates. I'm totally impressed that this phone is still being supported so well. It's coming up on being 3 years old and it's still getting monthly updates! That's pretty awesome to me.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] emanuelrv:
47 mb everytime more small the patch and my lg stylo 2 from boost mobile have the patch since feb 18 and the phone run android 7.0 the samsgum 6.0.1
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Cooljb:
Thanks, so this is just security patch then. The S5 is not due to get nougat, but it's impressive that it's still getting security updates. I have a Nexus 7 2013, that Google abandoned last June. For a 3 year old phone it's nice that it's still getting security updates.

I post only because of an interesting tweak. "the ability to turn off the shutter sound on camera" I wonder if they've opened up the toggle? Or they're getting on par with ours with volume down to silence? I sure hope it's the former and it comes to us. Ours has to drop anyday!

Also more Bluetooth mentions in there, which makes me optimistic for my wishlist.

https://twitter.com/SamMobiles/status/529755067252232192
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] mmark27:
Unlikely. We'll still get 4.4.4 and it'll be some time before we see 5.0. They've had too many testing builds with 4.4.4. Clearly they're squashing other bugs with this update for us. 4.4.4 was in actuality only 2 security changes from 4.4.2, so they have to be working on more. However, anything is possible. It makes sense to me that Samsung would forgo the 4.4.4 on some devices in favor of L considering how lame 4.4.4 actually is.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] garwynn:
NK4 RDF up, so they're still working on it.

As far as jumping straight to Lollipop, unlikely. They've always preferred to do a stable final and then move up.

That's not to say that it isn't in the works already by Samsung, it just may not even be to Sprint Q/A testing yet.

One side note worth mentioning:

The Note 4 RDFs are much, much smaller and contain a lot less info.

In the XML format, Sprint notes the following:

"Elements that are not required have been omitted from this template."

That includes the Android version.

Example: http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SM-N910P-SPRINT/NK2.rdf

We haven't seen this make its way to older devices but at least starting with the N4 it's safe to presume Sprint caught on and is turning off that spigot for info.

Hopefully they don't apply this to older models but I wouldn't be surprised if it happens.

You're probably the fellow to ask since I don't have a full understanding of how the data on call (not sure of terminology) has changed for us but any chance we're going to see usage of data while on a call yet?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] mmark27:
No. That's just an issue with all Triband Spark phones and the Spark network because of the CDMA portion of how calls are routed through the single path for the radios. This won't change until Sprint starts using Voice over LTE (VoLTE), which hasn't been announced at all so no clue on when that would happen? Maybe 2016? Eitherway, don't hold your breath.

Verizon just started with their VoLTE network and now some of their phones can do SVDO (simultaneous voice and data on call).

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

Just a heads up. If you flash the full 4.4.4 NK4 tarball, you wont be able to go back to 4.4.2 unless you flash the full tar for 4.4.2. The only thing I haven't tried yet is to flash the 4.4.2 modem back to the phone, overwriting the NK4 modem because I know 4.4.2 won't boot with an 4.4.4 modem. Since this is rather risky, I'd say stick with flashing 4.4.2 tarball to go back.
