I hope next week they will release it. Been checking sammobile everyday for the update..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zurkx:
ah well. looks like the birdie was wrong. :(
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xvital:
Maybe it's the day that they will start making the firmware not releasing it :D

Just kidding, i guess that we will receive it on 1-4 days because other devices have received it.

Ps: i contacted samsung costumer service, they just confirmed that the firmware is on the testing phase. Unfortunately, they dont have a date for releasing it.

as far as i can tell, one week is max and we should get this update
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tweeny80:
Samslut seriously severely sucks. Several sucky sessions seeking software, sadly sucked.

*sigh*
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DANOFDANGER:
Such cry babies, seriously.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ausboy 2011:
How hard could it be to make a fw for 5.0.1 for our U model. I mean everything apart from the modem is identical to the C model..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xvital:
Also, they are a team of experts, not one guy doing the firmware. I don't know what's their job if the firmware have arrived long time ago.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zhable:
This is just pathetic, i mean even verizon note 4s have android l. cmon samsung
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Alcibiade:
Shameless Samsung... Really pissed. It s not like we bought a cheap phone... This lack of support is just not acceptable. Especially since the phone was explicitly advertised as getting Lollipop at some point in time.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xvital:
I guess few people from samsung are reading this thread.

if you guys want to tell them what you really feel about this service, you can just go to this chat support and keep telling them about the update until they release it

http://112.106.187.195/Customer/NZ
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ixman:
I guess is the only variant left without lollipop. Anyway doesn't matter as I've just sold mine :( gutted really considering is a flagship phone or is it?

$800 for a phone that nobody cares about after they've cashed in. Tipical corporation **** and the joke is on us buying their junk every year.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tweeny80:
Thanks for the link. I'll be asking them daily about the update. Today they told me absolutely nothing, which will quickly become a pattern.

I will have some fun though ... make their dreary job more interesting so they look forward to may daily harassments
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Alcibiade:
Thanks it's a good idea.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zurkx:
release cycles for firmware on the 910u are the 1st of every month. i wouldnt bother until closer to the 1st of next month.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Jay-Taicho:
So, I take it zurkx has now been ended?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ausboy 2011:
They could release a fw anytime not just at the 1st
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Fahimxda:
Lollipop up date for N910U will come in at any moment no fixed release cycles
[Galaxy Note 4 General] skeamznz:
The last release of fw was on the 23rd of march for Panama.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DANOFDANGER:
Yep thats why no ones heard from him, poor fella.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] homesik_alien:

SAMSUCK!!!!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SquidgyB:
...and the link they gave you doesn't even have the Note 4, S5, S6 or any indication of any Lollipop updates.

I'm usually quite stoic about this kind of behaviour from companies but... how many months since Lollipop has been out on other devices? How many months since Samsung started the PR game and hinted at "something sweet" "coming soon"?

Bit of a p*sstake in all honesty. But we'll wait. Like we always do.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] LTE-X:
Intel finally handed the XMM 7260 modem kernel and driver to Samsung. If I have to make a guess, we'll have the update by next week. I also think BRI region (Taiwan) devices will get the update first.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cyanisblue:
Look at all the S6 Lollipop on release day :eek:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Fuzzi99:
They have that many different S6/S6Edges when the hardware is the same?

Then again there were how many different Note 4s, (at least 7 and the U is the only one without lollipop in any region/carrier)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Fahimxda:
Hi Guys this chat is just done with the Samsung Hong Kong Rep.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SquidgyB:
I strongly suspect that will be a case of "left hand doesn't know what the right hand's doing"... It'd be very strange for the updates to be rolled out to all other models and miss the N910U entirely.

I'm not sure where the info came from, but I suspect LTE-X is correct - that Samsung may have been waiting on updates to be passed on to them before they could carry on with the update for us...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Soryuu:
Got off Live Chat with Samsung NZ a couple of days ago and they said that it's under internal testing. Will try again to see if they still say that

Sent from my Note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 General] not-i:
Funny thing is what better testers than us at XDA? Give it to us to test
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Alcibiade:
So 6 months after the Nexus we may get 5.0.1. I am so excited.... Thank you Samsung... Probably can't count on seeing ever 5.1...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Soryuu:
Make of this what you will...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xvital:
What kind of update takes weeks to be out from the testing phase. They just say that because they don't know the status of the process, so the costumers don't lose hope.

Well, I didn't trust them from the beginning, that's why i wasn't that mad at the start of the year. However, I am starting to change my mind of Samsung entirely.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] LTE-X:
Let's be realistic. NZ is always last in releasing new android updates. Just look at them-NZ still has not released Android Lollipop for Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Note 3, while other countries did. I think NZ samsung chat is NOT a good representation of android updates.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Soryuu:
Oh yeah, definitely. Updates here are agonising at best. Not saying it's a be-all-end-all answer

Sent from my Note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 General] not-i:
It must be a downunder thing as lollipoop (spelling intended) hasn't been released for the Australian N910G yet either (though they can now use the Indian release firmware). Interestingly though the Aussie Note Edge was the first edge device to receive lollipop.

Personally I'm sick of checking for updates 3 or 4 times a day
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xvital:
I agree, the chat itself is useless because they dont know much information. But they can tell the people who are responsible, which is why i still chat with them. i am not expecting an answer, but i am trying to wake them up.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] homer285:
Wow, hey zurkx your mate whom works for SS is obviously in the know lol, let me guess, hes the janitor? bwahahahhaha what a ridiculous way to increase your post count, MOM THE MEAT LOAF ****!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tweeny80:
I got too cheeky with them, guess they didn't appreciate my sarcastic wit. Suddenly my chat session ended and now I can't get a session going.... IP address blocked or something.

But you're right they know nothing. Likely they are contracted and not even part of Samsung. So whatever you do, don't mention how ugly their mothers are, it touches a nerve
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Fahimxda:
I think this time unlocked versions getting the update late.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] homesik_alien:
let's not make excuses for them. I won't be buying another Shamsuck device again.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SquidgyB:
I do remember anecdotally someone (just after release, when the Lollipop FB teasers were posted) that Samsung had gotten their **** together and were nowadays much better at releasing timely updates for Android.

:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Silverblade.nz:
I have just emailed 2degrees asking about the update. It will be interesting to see what they have to say.

I just find it funny that back in the days when I had my Samsung Galaxy S (the 1st model) NZ was one of the first to get new firmware.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] homer285:
I just cant see how the international model is last to get the update, what about future updates? We're almost half way though the year, I think SS have a clash of interest with Intel possibly considering they sit in MS back pocket, pathetic!

Cancelled my S6 preorder as well
[Galaxy Note 4 General] asdfghjnk:
I saw from a taiwan forum said that Taiwan Samsung is going to update U to lollipop in May. :(

Hope there are some place will get the update first

http://attach.mobile01.com/attach/20...2ed737ef39.jpg

This is the pic of Taiwan Samsung's reply.

It said: Hi fans, Note 4 is planning to update in May

If there is any news of that, we will let fans know as soon as possible! thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Alcibiade:
May... 2016?

Seriously 6 months to update a brand new device is a complete shame. And nowhere to even direct your anger or make noticeable noise around it...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] smacman:
Spoke to Samsung Hong Kong yesterday and they said that there are NO further updates planned for the N910U. Needless to say, I'm selling this thing and never buying a Samsung again.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ausboy 2011:
No further updates.. lol they are spastics
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Fahimxda:
my assumptions - Update in May by New Zealand Rep - They just want to play safe us they itself dont know when the update will be out. "Further no updates" by Hong kong rep - Most of the hong kong reps doesnt understand what we are asking for so they blindly say no further updates without knowing its real meaning. So guys just hold on will get the update but for this wait they have to provide us with 5.1 not 5.0.1.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zhable:
I don't think anyone would mind waiting for 5.1, but the worst part is that Samsung has kept quiet for this long. It really diminishes their company's public relations with costumers and I just don't understand why they wouldn't at least say hey there is a delay with lollipop on model xyz and we expect it to be done in xyz area.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pedmond:
I would expect they will have 5.1 really soon - say October :p
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Alcibiade:
Yes we deserve that. But they won't. We will get 5.0.1. That sucks. But obviously Samsung doesn't care much.

Well this is the best news ive had about this update. Getting excited now!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] skeamznz:
I wish he said at most.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Alcibiade:
At least a week could mean months...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] homesik_alien:
At least a week means at most 2 weeks.

Did Isabela mention she was on any illegal substances?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kopkiwi:
At least a week? lol, pretty much saying "no ****ing idea, we have no plans on a set date. WE are ****"
[Galaxy Note 4 General] iceghost1210:
Ahh well. at least i felt warm and squishy for about 10 mins then guys. Ill wait just like the rest of us :(
[Galaxy Note 4 General] iceghost1210:
I have an update wooooo 1200mb yayayaya
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cyanisblue:
I just got update too, NZC version :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tweeny80:
cmon dude, u trolling or what? if not, hope u know how to extract the update to upload it. And since Sammobile has no record of a U update I smell a rat :-0
[Galaxy Note 4 General] iceghost1210:
Nah man, downloading it. 600mb done

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Soryuu:
Insert itshappening.gif?

EDIT: TNZ, happening for me too
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tweeny80:
Fuc* me ... and you guys have SM910U ?

What provider u with .... Voda or 2 Degrees or Telecom etc

Actually what country u in too?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Soryuu:
Yeah, I have an N910U

I'm guessing iceghost and cyanblue are on 2Degrees? Judging by the fact that they're getting it on NZC. My phone's a Telecom/Spark one (TNZ).

We're all from NZ by the looks of it

Edit: tweeny80, you're not on Vodafone by any chance are you? I checked in with a friend with a Vodafone Note 4 and they haven't got anything
[Galaxy Note 4 General] iceghost1210:
Im currently on Spark with a spark phone.

The update is 5.0.1 . looking good so far!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tweeny80:
I'm rooted (no updates) so my carrier is irrelevant. So because Sammobile has no record of the update I'm unsure how it all works. The only developer for our U variant is [MENTION=4503214]not-i[/MENTION] and I'd love for him to get his hands on Lollipop for the U
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Soryuu:
Sammobil's tracker only picks up on things that pass through Kies. It's possible that this is OTA-only for now (I think the same happened with the N910F or N910C), so they won't pick up on it just yet
[Galaxy Note 4 General] iceghost1210:
Idd be happy to upload an image is someone shows me how to make it?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ausboy 2011:
Woohoo
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tweeny80:
Nice of you to offer thanks... I have no idea personally. I am shamed [emoji15]

I'm sure [MENTION=4503214]not-i[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2316670]drke[/MENTION]tan could advise. I do know that you can't install the update prior to capturing the image file (somehow)

If you have already installed it, what's the build number? If you haven't.... can u wait a bit?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Soryuu:
Sammobile should have Odin-flashable firmwares now :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ausboy 2011:
They dont have it uploaded yet
[Galaxy Note 4 General] iceghost1210:
this is the Build
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Soryuu:
Oh really? Huh, maybe they just don't have it ready.

If you can put up with awful download speeds Live Samsung updates has NZC and PNG so far
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tweeny80:
I coulds be wrong but aren't newer builds already up and running for other variants?

EDIT: yes BOC5 is the current C variant build. Wonder why U gets an older build?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ausboy 2011:
remember our fabled dev will be able to port the c rom and use the new U modem ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zhable:
downloading NZC now, looks to be like 2 hours. Ill upload to mega if anyone wants to wait that long? (not ota, odin files)

heh looks like my mega bandwidth is only 10GB, ill upload on one of my webservers

Great idea now we have a kernel and modem. Downloading now and will get started asap :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bladefrost007:
Just got updated to lollipop. N910U Hongkong here. I use New Zealand version. Im loving it. Its fast. Camera opens quickly. I love the small updates they did to the UI
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DANOFDANGER:
so vnz doesnt have a update yet ??

Yo people with 2 degrees, does your build come with much branding and bloatware ?

TNZ always try to brand their builds with post boot images and software icon changes etc.

VNZ is pretty clean usually but curious about 2 degrees.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] not-i:
I'm building a rom with unbranded firmware right now
[Galaxy Note 4 General] divinestyler:
I have Hong Kong version as well but no OTA update available yet. Did you just flash the New Zealand firmware? Does flaking change your modem? Any guidance you can share is greatly appreciated!

[Galaxy Note 4 General] skeamznz:
The NZC or 2degrees model is unbranded so I recommend Voda people flash away.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DANOFDANGER:
Can you flash straight over kitkat or do you need to full wipe first ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] skeamznz:
I did but I've had cell drops. 4.4 is a huge step so full wipe I'd recommend
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DANOFDANGER:
I heard cell drops is a lollipop bug, i dont wanna reset my phone. Back in the day i usually would, i had a flash addiction. But now id rather wait for proper procedure.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Soryuu:
I've had no cell drops so far, will keep an eye out over the next few days.

Thinking of switching to the VNZ one though when it comes out (for Semble, if any other NZers here have that yet) - if I flash it via Odin can I still get OTAs?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DANOFDANGER:
I have kitkat vnz, i tried flashing nzc and tnz to get the ota but didnt work. Must be a reason but in not sure why, so id say it wouldnt work.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] skeamznz:
Boot into recovery either stock or custom do a full wipe, flash the stock firmware with Odin and should work fine.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ausboy 2011:
Did you factory reset aftet you flashed?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DANOFDANGER:
No i didn't but i would have thought if there was any issue with the rom it would have a custom/modified status and also give me a modified operating system response when i go to update.

However it says official and does not give me a error feedback and says only that i have the latest update.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Soryuu:
Damn, as I thought. The CSC has to match with the rom (ie. the TNZ rom has to have the TNZ CSC with it) for OTAs. Seems like the CSC isn't changed with the rom, but I could be wrong...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Fuzzi99:
The 2Degrees (NZC) one has no branding and only the 2Degrees mobile app which I think only appears if you have a 2Degrees SIM inserted (As a friend has the NZC one and a spark SIM and the app isn't on theirs but is unremovable on mine)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DANOFDANGER:
This was my thoughts and kies did show no csc.

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ----------

Good to know, vodafone is the same. Just tnz that likes to brag then huh lol.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Fuzzi99:
Spark formerly known as Telescum throw branding and unremovable apps in everything, often locking the device to their network as well.

Their budget network Skinny only sells SIM locked handsets with branding and unremovable apps in more places than Spark does which is cheeky and should be outlawed
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bladefrost:
Yes i did flast the new zealand version. Just download on sammobile and flash via odin. Mines working smoothly.[emoji1]
[Galaxy Note 4 General] not-i:
Sweet Rom up tomorrow
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DANOFDANGER:
I flashed lollipop nzc over kitkat vnz for the time being, no issues so far but once vnz is released il flash back and update it via ota.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bimmerboii:
Hong Kong version of the 910u still not updated.. anyone have an idea when? Itching to flash nz firmware
[Galaxy Note 4 General] smacman:
HK version will not be getting the update according to Samsung.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pedmond:
When did Samsung say that?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DANOFDANGER:
Hes referring to a online chat which a representative stated a update would not be happening, but most well informed know that such information would not be available so low down the chain. The people who tried were desperate for anything.

Its too hard to say when a update for each individual cellular provider will be carried out, thats up to the provider to initiate with samsung and not the other way around.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shinnsd:
N910UXXU1BOD3 is being tested for the hk version and should be out at the beginning of May.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] LTE-X:
If you are using Taiwan or Hong Kong versions, you will always be two weeks behind New Zealand in terms of updates because those regions need special keyboard implementation for Chinese language and Chinese carrier RSSL computer integration.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tweeny80:
Let's hope they fix the deep sleep problem with nz U version.... It's horrible. I cannot get through a day on 1 charge
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DANOFDANGER:
Id say thats a issue with your flash, iv had no battery drain problem but i do believe a battery drain bug is known with lollipop itself.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ausboy 2011:
Battery is bad on lollipop 5hrs sot down from 8-9 on kitkat
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Fuzzi99:
I don't see any battery issues with the NZC U lollipop update, then again I did have many issues installing the update and factory reset it twice
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ausboy 2011:
I have tried 2 lollipop fws for U and its the same crap im opting to go back to 4.4.4
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DANOFDANGER:
Im getting 4-5 hours screen on time with full brightness, easily get 8 hours + with reduced brightness.

Bad battery response will likely be a issue with install or the famous lollipop bug that doesnt hit everyone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ausboy 2011:
Its the famous bug.. even happens with no apps installed and with my own personal setup as ghe same as kk fml samsung

Unresponsive touchscreen after Lollipop

Hi there guys,

After updating my Galaxy Note 4 n910U to Lollipop via OTA, the touchscreen just became unresponsive. The update went on smoothly and my phone booted fine and it's on Lollipop now. I can navigate normally using the screen through the S-Pen but it just would not respond to touch. Very frustrating. New device, been waiting for this update and this happens. Please help.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SquidgyB:
I suspect most people will suggest a full wipe/re-flash. Usually gets the job done with weird update issues.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Rahail95:
I guess It's going to be end of May or whatever.... **** sick of waiting for this. Still no update for Hong Kong.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pedmond:
Yup, I'm starting to feel pretty fed up with Samsung.:eek:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bimmerboii:
If i flash nz firmware over my hk version will i still get ota updates? And knox will remain unaffected right?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] LTE-X:
If you are flashing stock ROM made for a different region, you need to factory reset after flashing the ROM. This is the only way the CSC will change and the only way you will receive future OTA updates. KNOX will not be triggered by flashing stock ROMs.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bimmerboii:
Thanks for that LTE-X.

Ill flash my Hong Kong version with the New Zealand one. There are 2 lollipop 5.0.1 New Zealand firmware over at sammobile. Anyone know the difference between the TNZ and NZC product codes? Are they both unbranded?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] LTE-X:
Sure thing!

The ROM itself is completely identical, but the CSC is different. TNZ is for Telekom NZ and NZC is for 2 degrees NZ. Basically, you will end up at the same place regardless of which file you choose to update your phone with. I flashed NZC version and haven't had any issues so far, but I performed a factory reset, which more than likely resolved any miscellaneous issues that can come with a big update.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] skeamznz:
I wouldn't flash the TNZ one telecom brand there firmware with boot animations and software. The NZC is untouched
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Soryuu:
Can confirm, had the TNZ firmware, was completely awful in terms of branding and apps. (eg. Internet being renamed/reiconised as Y! T World with a logo a la 2008)

Now on VNZ out of necessity
