Hundreds perhaps is better?

Perhaps hundreds better is?

Is hundreds perhaps better?

:rolleyes: Exaggerated perhaps. The point still stands.

Quickly counting there are 90 variants of the Note 4 alone that have something different about them, whether; Sim (Dual or not), radio, storage, processor, provider, bloat, etc.

26 of those can be bundled into basic models so they can roughly use the same firmware but won't be updated at the same time.

So while I felt it was obviously a blatant exaggeration I will point out I was referring to all models that should be expecting an update. Not every Samsung product ever made.

My point is there is more then you would expect. Apple for example released 3 variants of the iPhone 6. We won't include the 6 Plus in this count because that's like including the Note Edge, which we wont do. Anyways, two of those are available to NA buyers. You can even use the same method as the 90 count increasing Apples count to 6 variants. I don't like using them as an example but I feel it fits. You might only notice a few variants here because we have a primarily NA and EU user base. Even more is some users gravitate to certain models if development is popular. Example would be the T-MO variant. Or they might go with a processor as a factor. Certain models will be more popular and will naturally get more coverage. SM-N9108V for example won't get to many people jumping for joy on XDA when it's offically updated. The SM-N910T however would. Does not mean the N9108V doesn't exist.

not sparking fight but why we chose android over other os?

why i paid for a costliest device?

if i wanted a stable device i would go with an older one with better support or year old device which has all stability updates.

everyone uses phones on their own ideas like soem for gaming, some bought it for vr, and i got it bcoz it was supposedly getting lollipop faster then anyone(assume variety of devices).

but i guess you are not that kind of person who buys flagship to modify certain aspects of it almost everyday :confused::confused:

in the end thats it. i paid for faster updates and i chose exynos so aosp was a dream to have it on my phone, which only leads me to rely on samsung timely updates. at least for me this is "Real" flagship phone and was meant to be treated better then anyone else.

I must say that things are going very good for the S5 Galaxy S5 Exynos getting Android 5.0 update
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Drizzy xS:
Apparently 5.0.1 has been leaked for the note 4 does anyone reckon they could get a hold of the leak get the kernel and put it into that Chinese link we got?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
Where did you get that info?You mean THIS

This article right here
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
Ohh...saw this earlier, I am not quiet sure if it is possible since it is a different model from the N910F.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Drizzy xS:
Did you try to flash the note edge rom?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
That was for the Note Edge. Different phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
No, it would probably soft brick the note 4 since it is for the official leaked lollipop build for the note EDGE
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Drizzy xS:
It just seems like because that guy was able to get lollipop to boot on his phone, I can't remember what phone he had.. By porting the kernel or something along those lines because the note 4 and note edge have very similar specs that it could be possible to get the kernel out of the edge leak and put it into the Chinese leak, I mean they're both SD805 aren't they?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
If I remember correctly he ported the note 4 ROM to the galaxy J... HERE Post #118
[Galaxy Note 4 General] megatooth:
I got in touch with [MENTION=2573433]hiepgia[/MENTION], he said that the kernel isn't compatible with the Note 4 because of the screen, but nonetheless, he said he would try to make it work.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ausboy 2011:
It would need a few tweaks but the edge kernel should work
[Galaxy Note 4 General] AxAtAx:
The edge kernel does not work...needs to be snapdragon...we need a snapdragon leak.....I got the rom to actually boot, buts hangs after the boot ani...hmm I will keep trying on my end. I will say..we are closer than we were 2 days ago. If anyone discovers a snapdragon leak...post it quick...??

At least for me...I have a US N900T...so...hmm. 5.0 is running great on my S5 and the wifes N3...N4 needs to catch up....arrgg!

[Galaxy Note 4 General] sPEADy:
Good Morning everyone, Calm down people all this crying and postings won't bother Samsung at all. The update will come when they think that it's beneficial for the enduser because at the end of the day each company has ultimate goal of customer satisfaction, if they had brought up the Lolipop update in December last year with lot of bugs and all this stuff then we would had been crying about that. So lets play cool and when it comes to update IMHO I am not going to install it straight away because if it's not good enough most of us will be going back to kitkat. Keep fingers crossed and hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.

Between I have Sony, Samsung, LG, HTC models in my Family none has been till now updated to Lolipop :-/
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Braxos:
Just confirmed it Lolipop is coming this Year.

Relax people. Kit Kat isn't bad, lolipop will bring some improvements but we not with a OS where we have many issues. Even battery drain is OK.

I'm wondering why so many are so eager for lollipop. I'm just hoping for a snappier recent apps button. Other than that, I'm perfectly happy with the current Note 4 UI.

Note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jetbruceli:
Just so everyone knows, u will not be able to update via OTA to lollipop. I just did the update for my wife's s5 and it had to be flashed or updated through kies. This is such a big improvement that of course OTA isn't a good solution. I could be wrong but I waited and waited but in the end just hooked up kies and her s5 had an update waiting.

Anyways really looking forward to it. I hear the camera will receive an updated system
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Savage13:
Can't wait for this update to come out just so everyone shuts up about it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
The Note 4 does work almost flawlessly on 4.4.4 also the recent apps button works for me great but Lollipop brings new animations and material design so that is why I am tempted to see Lollipop...also once you get a major update like this it is as if you got got a new phone.

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

As long as you do a full wipe data/cache BEFORE and AFTER upgrading to Lollipop you should be fine with OTA.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] marthinollys:
Yes, I'm aware of that. The experience of opening YouTube, checking email, and reading my Google Newsstand feeds however will remain largely the same. I understand some people like a new coat of paint and that's great though judging from material design on the S5 it isn't going to change TouchWiz all that much - which I'm fine with, by the way. To each his own☺

Good advice about resetting before updating. I've found that to be highly beneficial.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] elroy944:
My wife has my s5 (Snapdragon) and i updated it last week through ota without wipe. Everything works good atm and it feels faster than my Snapdragon note 4....
[Galaxy Note 4 General] isaakmg:
What's happen with Snapdragon? Fuc*** Samsung....
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sPEADy:
True. Here

Edit: Between users from S5 reported a bad Battery Life on Lolipop so when it hits our beloved N0TE 4 everyone just take your time wait one or two days read the comments from some experties and then go for it. In the end it's just my point of view every one has his/her own brian to choose between good/bad.

N910C Leak?

I feel like an idiot trying to search for a download link, knowing that I wouldn't find anything... I will try to contact to Android Mexico to know where they get it btw.

Here's the screen too:

Well I find the battery life much better on the s5 than previous. When it comes out for the note 4, I am sure its gonna be amazing. My wifes s5 really seems a lot smoother than my note 4 in all areas
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jinosong:
It's not a download link. It's inside information on the status of the updates.

Apparently there's a bug that's not been addressed yet on the Snapdragon models. As for the Exynos variant, it's a very straightforward release without any major bugs. They may be looking at a release date past February.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] galaxynote2:
Damn Google Translate.. thanks! Could you tell us if that page uploads any link in a later time? You are the only who knows korean here :D

Thanks for the info!

Had answer from AndroidMX

(translated by me)

Hi,

Effectively the Lollipop rom for Note 4 N910C is real and official. I have it installed in my device but I can't leak it right know. Once they give me green light I will upload it so you guys can download and install it. Until now, there's no errors at all.

Cheers! Android México.

"Lollipop is really smooth. It is worth upgrading to."

"The BOB2 release has been made as a batch (?).

The Note 4 S-LTE and the international/overseas Note 4 has been updated to BOB2 and the local model (Korean variant) seems like it'll update to BOB2 by tomorrow."

Edit: I can't see any date that this post was made but I'm assuming this is recent

Edit 2: The post was made on 5/2/2015 (probably Korean time). If this poster is correct then we might start seeing stuff soon

There is some extra stuff on Lollipop for the Tab S as well, but in terms of the Note 4 that's what seems to be important

Response from Samsung

The Android 5.0 Lollipop Operating System update will begin pushing out to devices possibly in the next week. Currently, the Verizon Galaxy S 5 is the first device that is scheduled for the Lollipop update. The initial scheduled date was postponed, but it could happen within the next week.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] daffie:
Yes yes...possible...could happen...blah blah blah....let's just wait and see what happens. Lollipop comes when it's ready. All this nonsensical hype and approximations is all wasted time&space. It's Friday folks...enjoy your weekend! :p

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
I don't wanna sound like a crying *****, kitkat works flawlessly and all but come on, they don't release the update for the note 4 and release 5.0.1 for the S4 LTE-A....where is the logic in that?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
It just doesnt ready for note 4 i doubt samsung giving same update for other devices. S5 on lollipop still acting wierd and working worse than note 4s kitkat.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
Well, after looking at some videos recently for the S5 on Lollipop it looks much better than when I used Lollipop on my S5 about a month ago.Also the note edge seems to work great on 5.0.1
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Well i tried it too but its definetly worse than my note 4. And i read the article about note 3 on xda it was saying tw improved alot lag free etc but i updated my old exynos note 3 with official update it still sucks. No where near note 4 kitkat.

It will happen on s6 too i guess samsung is making a optimized software for it and note 4 and older devices wont even get it its just samsung they are **** at supporting old devices and thats why they are loosing their old customers hope they will realize it soon giving proper updates.

Like they wont give 64 bit software for exynos note 4. They still think people will buy new device for some useless stuff. They should take care of old customers 1st. So we can buy new samsung devices without doubt.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
A phone like the note 4 with top of the line specs and one of the best phones on the market should be optimized as well as Kitkat on Lollipop, since lollipop should use much less RAM and improve battery life as well.Samsung is indeed **** when giving new updates, it's best you just stay on the android version you got with the phone out of the box, it will work properly at least.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
my note 3 was using around 1.7gb ram on kitkat now its constantly on 2.2 gb. and battery life is worse too(abit)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
My note 3 used about the same amount of RAM as yours, but kitkat worked great on the note 3.

But back on topic....let's hope we get at least a leak for the note 4 SD version :P

I got an update pushed to my Note 4 last night, it's 150.06 MB - a Telus Note 4 (Canadian)

Doesn't give any other information about it. I haven't installed it yet since my device is rooted.

Do you think this is Lollipop?

Edit: Probably not. I noticed there was an update sent on January 12th, I would have missed that push since I was out of country....They are probably pushing out devices that have missed updates in preparation of a lollipop release.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bala_gamer:
I don't care about the delay, but after if they release 5.0.1 instead of 5.0.2 that's going to be so stupid

[Galaxy Note 4 General] sephkateno:
Well knowing Samsung acting stupid is probably a normal way of doing things.... What I have learned so far regarding software updates is to not expect much from them...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sPEADy:
The same thing I can say about LG, Sony & HTC as well that they don't update their devices ( if I say flagship won't be a lie) as well. HTC & LG already updated their Flagship though. We all have read about Samsung that they are updating S4 a 3 year old device that's pretty good I think. Gear VR is to be released on Monday & that is virtually effecting the Lollipop release for our device. That's just my opinion I might be wrong on this though.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sephkateno:
You're totally right maybe they delay the lollipop launch so that there won't be any errors between lollipop and gear vr and if that's the case from their point of view it is the best course of action I don't wanna say I have no problem with the delay I do but just like a company like Samsung can't understand what we customers want and come to our point of view so can't we see things from their perspective and figure out what the hell they are thinking..what I believe is best right now is custom ROMs made by the people for the people :P a normal every day dev can understand better your needs and mine than a company can don't you think?
