It dsnt matter whether it is exo or sd for samsung... i ws hardcore sammy fan... hv both s5 exo n n4 sd version.. both r nt updated... samsung is jst ignorant abt indian market. Coz they see us like herd of sheep. We need to oppose strongly. For one thing i am sure, my next device should not be from samsung.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] guitarmafia:
Till s4 india was one of the first countries to get the latest updates.. They dint do very good with s5.. They were focusing on other markets too.. They haven't released updates for the sd version yet for any other country, cuz they are optimizing the oculus app for gear vr.. You being the customer can always leave samsung and choose another oem but for your own sake do it for the right reasons.. Samsung is still way better than any other oem when it comes to updates.. Infact my s4 got the lollipop update 4-5 days ago.. How many oems are there who have even updated their 2 yr old device.. So saying that samsung is treating their indian customers differently would be a huge mistake. If they haven't pushed a certain update yet then they must have a reason.. Besides imho lollipop isnt bringing anything new. No oem is updating their drivers to support the camera 2 api.. Aside from better optimization and a lot of incompatibility issues , lollipop isnt bringing anything new.

i strongly suspect the released version is not even official, just a test OTA build

past history shows no official builds are released for one single region and stays that way for more than a day

I don't think so. IMHO Lollipop is the best looking Android yet. But Samsung TouchWiz needs a lot of work. They need to take UI guidelines seriously.

I guess design is subjective.. For me stock android always was plain ugly and so boring that it made ios look like the os of the future.. And lollipop only made it worse somehow. I ll take touchwiz over stock android anyday.. Obviously i am only talking design wise. Optimization is another matter. Imho that prob was solved with the note 4. I wish samsung goes back to darker themes and improve on the optimization even more than what they have done with the note 4. But that is my opinion only.

hei thats k, everyone gets excited :D . btw the build date is just a few days back , so a brand new build compared to the other lollipop rom available
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayesh:
Yea but it could be note edge specific. I doubt they are releasing brand new builds right now on the roll out (newer builds are being worked upon, but will be patched in later i suspect, like the missing raw support mentioned elsewhere)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pratik_193:
So we are the last one to get lolipop...!

Exynos got it, F got it, Edge too got it...

:crying:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] maksharma231:
Yes, yes and yes!

But i think its better they delay it a week and fix the identified bugs (since they delayed it more than enough 1 week wont hurt) or maybe even update the android version! *too much wishful thinking*

ps: definitely a hard wait though ...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pratik_193:
what bugs are you talking about ? i dont think so version will be upgraded in this 1 week..!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bala_gamer:

now note edge got mute option in their lollipop update.. does samsung include this setting in note 4 lollipop version too ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] guitarmafia:
And whiners will never be happy.. No matter what samsung does.. I see you too here in the note forum. So it must be because of u too that they are making money. Samsung is thankful to you too. Lol. No matter how much marketshare they are loosing, they are still miles ahead of any other android oem(that includes those ones too whose ui u do like). And the company is not loosing because of their software, its because of chinese phones. Its not like htc, lg, sony, moto or anybody else is gaining the customers that Samsung is loosing. Most of the other oems are already going broke. Customers are moving away from samsung because either they are cheap(includes those who want value for money) , or they can't afford one. Some others are moving to iphone. Less than 1% are moving from samsung to any of the other major android oems.

Granted samsung do need some more efforts on their software(and who doesnt? Even stock android is full of bugs) but they are not loosing any customers over it.

@guitarmafia

Totally true, it's the Chinese oems who are grabbing the market shares with super cheap devices. Anyone who uses samsung devices for few years will know how much their software has improved, now with materialised tw it gives a fresh breathing space for tw, and some more optimisation around the corner with s6 release, I don't know why people complain, may be they will never stop it until they get what they want.

I think Singapore is the same model as well
[Galaxy Note 4 General] swapnil_812003:
But i see mute option is already there in current note 4 kitkat rom. If you press sound option 2 times you will get mute option.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dr.ketan:
It's missed in lollipop
[Galaxy Note 4 General] maksharma231:
lol i am talking about the wifi, bluetooth, signal dropping etc issues posted by people on the forum.

Plus I myself am kind of skeptical about upgrading with the silent mode 'kind of missing'. 5.1 should be awesome with the fixes.

Knowing Samsung, it wouldn't surprise me if they indeed skip directly to 5.1 for us :P

PS: i don't know how much of the bugs are we actually gonna face on our 910G, and yeah I want lollipop as much as you do ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] deohrishikesh7:
New note edge firmware update shows mute mode is back... So we should expect a fix soon.. In next updates to all devices...

I am eagerly waiting for exposed firmware working on stock lollipop tw roms..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] badelemental:
Man ... tired of waiting. Still no signs of Lollipop update for 910G.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Conceptunlimited:
I've a feeling Samsung values indian customers ... that's why they test their primary releases elsewhere and give us the most stable versions .... I would prefer to wait rather than updating to a buggy lollipop version
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pratik_193:
OR it can be the other way round. " They are ignoring Indian customers"
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ipsuvedi:
I also think so ;) because...

When octa core was in buggy initial stage they released it here ...now when it is stable they realesed SD here

Samsung just uses us for their profit :( :mad:

most builds out there are not fully stable... gearvr not working with any of the builds is the best example. I was pretty excited to try tw lollipop builds released for other variants, but now the reality id rather wait for official role out..

---------- Post added at 12:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------

i think they are doing it in the best interest of their non techy customers, if a build gets leaked only we people on xda would flash it, if it gets released on ota the whole note 4 crowd would attempt to flash it, and later if they realise the build is not stable, then samsung is dead
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayesh:
I think its pointless getting excited about it. They will release it when they are good and ready. Just enjoy what you have till then~
[Galaxy Note 4 General] badelemental:
Well it's the biggest update to Android till date so yes everyone should get excited. Due to TW some guys will find the UI to be similar but stock experience has improved a lot. IMHO the stock wins this time in fluidity and performance. I have a Moto G (2nd Gen) and I like the new material design. Note 4 UI seems a bit dated now.

Back with Samsung

So I had an iphone 3gs years back, then moved on to Samsung Galaxy S2, after a while to Note 2 and then in 2013 to Note 3

However, I happened to use the LG G2 in 2014 April and I was just absolutely amazed with the HD clarity of the phone. And moreover, that is when I realized how "Yellowish" the Amoled displays with Samsung are!

I eneded up getting an LG G2 LTE version and mind you, its a beast of a device. No lags what so ever and I was overall happy untill i started getting frequent call drops and bad reception couple with bad speaker quality

And finally, with a lot of reluctance, I am back with Note 4 today! I got 20k in exchange for the G2, plus the seller was talking about some 8000 bucks worth of mobile bill from paytm and 10% cashback with the card. I want to know if anyone else also got similar options?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] badelemental:
Well putting design apart the major change is in runtime. It's now ART and it is a huge change. 5.1 will bring more UI refinements.

wait for 2 or 3 weeks.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayesh:
Bit disappointed at the turn around time. Yes i want a bug-fixed glorious version, but beyond a point it should be more fluid in their delivery schedule. Companies get a bad name due to this. They should adhere to a strict time-table and then issue smaller bug fixes as required.

Anyway this is the way android works, across the spectrum and development in general across most mobile companies. Take it or leave it.

And thanks for the info too bala... Gud Luck :)

[Galaxy Note 4 General] guitarmafia:
I think everybody wants the latest updates for their hardware.. But the level of desperation depends upon things that the said update ll bring lol. The only thing i was desperate about was camera 2 api but looking at the devices that got the updates, it looks like no oem is updating the camera drivers. Putting that aside, imho the only thing L is bringing to note 4 is slightly better optimization and a bit newer ui. I do want these two updates but note 4 is already so good that i can live without these updates for a few weeks without a problem.

There is also a lot of compatibility issues with older apps and several banking and government applications. And at least i dont have the exynos version so no point in dreaming about 64bit too.

I may be missing some other minor changes but please correct me if i am wrong. But imo this update brings nothing major for note 4. It did for s4 though.A Completely new experience on s4.it feels like a new device altogether.

Sent from my SM-N910G
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bala_gamer:
lucky you :p , whenever i feel desperate i switch over to aosp and quench my hunger lol :laugh:

most people will notice about the update only when samsung pushes the OTA stating " Hei i have brought lollipop with me!! wanna taste?" :p

haha true, patience is virtue :D . being a 910G user it should be a real pain to release your rom for other variants first.

glad i brought you out of your silence ;)

i too was desperate for new camera api, but im still not losing hope we will eventually get it sometime later i think. you know what after using cm12 for few days i just realised our super gadget has more room for performance, ART runtime is the key and after reading lollipop has done wonders for s4 performance i can say lollipop will bring us even more performance and fluidity, let alone the new UI ;)

Theming would be nice but as long as they keep the design language more consistent with guidelines I am happy without it. Anyway desperately waiting for Lollipop. For now I am using CM12 but Camera quality has decreased a bit and I miss the fingerprint sensor. Apart from that the UI is quite fluid and responsive.
