Umm.... Note 4 5.0 was rolled out on ATT quite some time ago. I've had my S6 since launch day, and my Note 4 probably had LP for around a month before I even switched. Aka 2 months ago.

---------- Post added at 03:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 AM ----------

You're right, they don't refine it. They test it, then make Samsung refine it. Then retest it again. Then release it after however many cycles it takes to approve the update refinements. Its not a matter of pushing updates when they become available, but about pushing them when they finally pass ATT quality control.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] malickie:
HAHAH, AT&T Quality Control is a complete joke. Go look at the posts on the S5 when they did the Upgrade to android 4.4.4. That was riddled with issues, mainly the home button always bringing up google now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Clienterror:
Can confirm, I work for AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Pure+:
I know there is a correct term... But QC is not it.

Sent from My Samsung Galaxy S6 "Pure" Black
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Padel:
Figures...

Sad but unfortunately true!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] a_ok2me:
My belief is it just means they're slooow. It doesn't mean they're holding out to get all the latest and greatest bugs identified and fixed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] TechSavvy2:
Don't need to go look at it..... I had the device. I did not experience those issues.

People take an extreme exaggeration on what they believe goes on behind the scenes and base it on their frustrations with a device or experience. Just because there was issues with a release does NOT mean they don't have a QC system in place. You're a fool if you think otherwise. That's like saying that because those Toyotas had the brake issue that Toyota doesn't implement a QC system... When Toyota basically invented the QC system.....:eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] gator9422:
Actually The Note 4 was second among carriers to get 5.0...both T-mobile and Verizon lagged behind
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Cusa:
By the time AT&T releases the update, the S7 will be out by then.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] cybertrucker559:
Im on 5.0.2 gs6 and i received the update 3 days ago but didn't applied cause i am rooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Cusa:
The 5.1.1 update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] murtezahu:
got the same update... downloading now!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
It's 5.1.1 guys. New icons and Samsung Pay. Still checking stuff out.

Edit: New camera features and audio settings are present as well. Phone is very snappy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] FluxionFluff:
Yep yep. Definitely 5.1.1. :)

Totally late in getting this update, but at least now every carrier S6 has it. Hopefully the Marshmallow update won't take as long to receive as this one. To be honest, as long as I can get the update at some point, I'm not super concerned about not getting updates super fast.

Don't get me wrong, fast updates are nice, but I'm all too aware that there's no point in complaining that much since if you want the fastest updates, don't get a carrier device. Or... You can root your device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Russ77:
Now I just need a theme in the theme store to make it look good again. Not digging the new icons
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] FluxionFluff:
I didn't even notice the new icons since I'm not using the default theme. Though, anyone know if the various themes had their icons changed? Didn't notice it in mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] xxthe:
Hmm. Nothing on my end!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] JakeStGermain:
Did anyone's peel remote stop working?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] iceman4357:
Where is the M Update damnit. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] FluxionFluff:
Nope, just tested mine and it works fine.

Haha. XD Google hasn't even released it yet, but thinking at some point in October or November perhaps? Then probably several weeks or more for the OEMs and carriers to release the update.

Let's just hope that this one won't take as long to receive as the 5.1.1 update did. Though, I rather not get a rushed update since I'm sure there will still be bugs at launch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] magglass1:
It looks like the update installs Amazon Kindle and WildTangent Games ("Games") in addition to Samsung Pay. Games can be uninstalled while Amazon Kindle is baked in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] FluxionFluff:
Google wallet is also installed, and can only be disabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] magglass1:
Do you mean Android Pay? I show that included, but I don't have Google Wallet installed. (Android Pay used to be called Google Wallet though)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] FluxionFluff:
Not sure. Says "Wallet" though. Didn't open the app, but I'll check shortly.

Edit: So... I just opened it and it is indeed Google Wallet. I thought Android Pay was something different from Google Wallet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] magglass1:
Ah, it's probably the old version of the app before they renamed it. If you check for updates you'll probably see one for Android Pay, which is really Google Wallet but renamed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] FluxionFluff:
Yeah, I see what you mean. Once I made a pin for my Google Wallet, I see that I need to update to Android Pay to be able to pay with my phone.

Edit : Ah, so Google Wallet still exists, but it's completely separate from Android Pay... Wonder why there's two apps since wouldn't it have worked fine with them both in the same app?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] magglass1:
They decided to separate the functionality into two apps. Android Pay (formerly Google Wallet) is used for making purchases, while Google Wallet (new) is used for loyalty cards, to send money to your friends, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] FluxionFluff:
Ah okay, that makes sense, though kinda annoying to have two apps. But, that's just me. That, and I don't think I'd be using either app anyway. Kinda curious about Samsung Pay, but dunno if I'll try it.

On another note, I've noticed that since updating to 5.1.1, the fingerprint scanner is faster and more accurate. Prior to the update, the scanner would occasionally be stupid and not read my fingerprint several times. Now, I haven't had an issue with that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Cusa:
Now we just need someone to make a flashable version of this so we can keep root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Russ77:
Am I experiencing a placebo effect, or is this update smoother/more responsive? Also seems to be managing multi tasking between apps better, i.e. not terminating them almost immediately?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] magglass1:
So far it seems better about terminating apps, but we won't really know until it's been running for a few days. It always behaves better after a restart.

Overall it does feel smoother though. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jweimn:
So I know samsung pay is baked into this update and I know it releases on Monday but where exactly is it located in the phone I can't seem to see it anywhere?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] magglass1:
Here's what the icon looks like. Check the very end of your app list or sort A-Z then look. I moved it into a Samsung folder on mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ricecake2000:
Hmm I have to wait another 6 hours to check for an update (stupid 24hr wait).

I hope my phone can pull it. I use Straight Talk so I think as long as I'm on WiFi I can get it. Fingers crossed.

Anyway. Does anyone who also has the weird camera bug (freaking out with odd sound, when you double tap home button) know if that has been addressed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] magglass1:
You can temporarily set the date on your phone one day into the future then check for the update. That's what I had to do last night since I had manually checked earlier in the day. Just don't forget to change it back.

Hmm, I haven't heard of that camera bug before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
I have a completely stock AT&T GS6 with no modifications. Im on 0F4 and everytime I download the update, it starts the process, gets to "installing 1%" then shows a dead android with a red exclamation mark, then reboots. Ive been able to manually set the date ahead by one day 4 different times and try... each time its the same error.

Any other way to update without a factory reset or losing all of my data?

Edit: Nevermind, I had to put the phone in safemode, then apply the update. It must have been conflicting with something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] crea78:
I also got the update and it's FINALLY nice to have 5.1.1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Russ77:
I guess the new icons are growing on me. Performance is downright beastly on my phone now. It was always pretty good, but now it's very snappy and responsive, and multitasking / memory management seems a lot more effective.

Not that it means much but my phone is benchmarking quite a bit higher than it did on 5.0.2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jlongrc:
Well it's worth keeping in mind that a reboot and re-optimization would have a temporary effect on smoothness. Give it a few days before you'll know for sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Cusa:
What are you guys going to do without root?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] pennywisdom:
Just so I understand my options as a rooted 5.0.2 user, is it smarter to just wait on a rooted 5.1.1 ROM or should I update anyways because it will have to be a 5.1.1 root due to a bootloader update or something? Mostly it's Tasker and Secure Settings and Greenify that I use root for, although it's nice to tweak a few things sometimes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
I'm holding out. Worst case is we wait a few days to find out if there are issues with getting a flashable version of the update, then we can make an informed decision to continue to hold out, or give up root for 5.1.1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] 4freese:
Well if anyone can somehow find the .tar file for this update it would be greatly appreciated. I have the AT&T S6 on Crickets network and I am not getting the update as of yet. Keep checking but no bueno.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] pennywisdom:
Oh yeah, I'm with you there, gonna hold out a bit longer since I can wait. I figured I'd go ahead and ask now and hopefully the devs can see what they can do with it. I'm a little content to keep going but I have been wanting to do a full wipe because of some weird issues so I'd like to do that with 5.1.1 rooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ricecake2000:
Same here. But I'm on straight talk....this is all I get
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] zeezz:
I'm actually not sure if we'll be able to keep root anytime soon... Verizon's 5.1.1 patch was released almost 2 months ago and there still isn't a way to upgrade and keep the PingPong Root exploit alive. At least not that I found in their forums. Would be happy if someone proved me wrong though :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
Well I installed the update and so far it's running vastly better than 5.0.2 did for my s6 edge. I did try to test out Enhanced LTE again and it's still excessively draining my battery while on WiFi.....i went to sleep at 59% and woke up at 36% battery, it showed that Cell Standby was using 31% of my battery. I just disabled it and will wait till the next update before I try it out again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] raduque:
Honestly haven't needed root since my Note 3. I don't feel crippled by lack of it. Nothing I do on a daily basis needs root. The only thing I'd really like to do is get rid of the volume warning, but nobody has figured that out anyway.

My phone just finished updating and is rebooting into 5.1.1 as I type this. Hopefully it fixes all the major issues I had with it, if not....

Edit: For the first time ever, an OS update didn't re-enable all the disabled apps I had previously disabled. Yay!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] madthoughtz:
Having issues unrooting my phone ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] tykazowsky:
This happened to me as well! How did you fix it? And what is safe mode?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] pennywisdom:
One thing that I really like root for is Tasker and Secure Settings. I can't turn on and off the fingerprint reader at will without root, can't turn on/off GPS without root. Also I really hate it when there's a bunch of unread text messages which happens if you use MightyText or Pushbullet to text, but I have a Tasker and Secure Settings task to do that.

So fingerprint reader can be accomplished with trusted devices (not quite the condition that I use but would be manageable), GPS can be done with the quick settings, but marking text messages read would need to be done by a texting app essentially, and I haven't seen one that will do it. I use a mysql command to accomplish it. If there was another workaround for that, I could probably go ahead and update but I'll just stick on 5.0.2 for a little longer I guess.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] raduque:
That's a pretty specific use-case. I don't use either of those apps, and I don't have a need to disable the finger print reader. I have trusted devices enabled and when my phone is connected to my truck or watch it has just a swipe. I imagine most people do the same, or simply don't use the fingerprint security.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] LeKtRiCzzz:
Damn look at me predicting when we would get this update
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] XGC75:
^^ Good call

E: So when are we going to get Android M?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
Restart the phone. As soon as you see it say Samsung galaxy S 6, press and hold the volume down button. That will start up the phone in safemode. What that does is disable all user installed apps and reenable all systems apps that you may have disabled. Download the update again and apply. It will restart and install just fine, then reboot back to normal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ScottyNuttz:
Even that didn't work for me. I had to bite the bullet and do a factory reset. Now I'm up to date though!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] akahimaro:
failed update as well, but it said you can check again in 24 hours, is there a way to check right away?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] raduque:
Set the system time forward 24 hours, duh.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] XGC75:
Just tried a safe mode update. No dice, update will not take.

So get this. After that failure I take the phone to an AT&T store. "We don't have the equipment to flash these phones." (???)

I go to Best Buy and the guy flashes my phone no problem. To OF4 5.0.2

YYYeeeeyyy this is so fun! Time to see if I can update with the fresh OF4 flash!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] zhangmaster12:
Trying a safe mode update, update has failed 3 times in normal mode.

If this fails, I will probably go to the AT&T store and asked to get my phone swapped out because my phone also has the bluish-purple dots on the front-facing camera (not really too big of a deal on it's own, but along with the update, it's probably worth a quick trip to the store).

edit:

Nope, didn't work. Giving up on this update for now. Will probably go to the store on Friday :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
Sunderware (hope I spelled it right) is already uploading the TAR files so you guys can flash via ODIN.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] XGC75:
Fortunately my update completed okay after the OF4 flash at Best Buy. Not sure what got out of whack so bad I couldn't update in safe mode after a factory reset but hey. The phone is pretty much the same as it was before the update!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] whatnow275:
Is battery any better? Note 5 must have more software optimizations to get so much better battery than S6 and im wondering if they were carried over to us
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
The Note5 has a much bigger battery, thats why it has better battery life.

After using for a few days, I will say my battery life has increased. It sleeps better and it handles background apps a little better, which doesnt need to refresh as often (Im sure that helps with battery too). Id say I gained a good 15-20% in battery life. Not a huge gain, but noticeable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] XGC75:
The phone sleeps MUCH better. On day two, went from 100 to 95% with a screen on here and there to check the time over the course of about 6 hours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] whatnow275:
Whats your SOT and general usage like on the update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] benbailey84:
I'm downloading the update as I type this. Can't wait to see how bad AT&T screws up 5.1.1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] XGC75:
I'm a light user at work (8 to 5) and a moderate to heavy user after that. I can't say definitively, but anecdotally I'm getting better battery life during the day and just about the same at night. Pretty much what you might expect with the updated sleep mode. I should note that I now get notifications from any updates on this forum, so a good but more tx/rx than before.

Side note: the lack of double-tap to select is kinda annoying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] FluxionFluff:
Has anyone else gotten this? I've never seen the *wakelock* before... I went to Best Buy earlier and the guy who looked at my phone had never seen it before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] SlimJ87D:
Make sure you guys have around 4 GB free of space. Having 2.5 GB free space caused my update to fail.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jinishpv:
Please provide the stock oi2 ota zip file of g920a for rooting g920a 5.1.1

Yes im sure it was.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] TechSavvy2:
No, it isn't. The update is still 5.0.2

Build number LRX22G.G920AUCU1A0E2

.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] YandereSan:
The 5.1.1 update is coming shortly... First thing I did was look at the camera app, but sadly I didn't see shutter speed controls in pro mode or raw in the settings.

Profile change feature is also missing.

I looked at the T-Mobile forum, and people there are reporting the same issue with their 5.1.

Thus far it looks like another update. :/ If you're expecting the camera update, don't get your hopes up too high. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Cusa:
When is AT&T pushing it out? Anybody know?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Black_V!per:
I've checked every day one minute past the 24-hour requirement. I'm hoping real soon, because I've got a company with 7 users and each phone suffers from poor performance and lack luster battery life. One user even said his Stock HTC M7 of 2 years was faster and had a longer battery, not good since I administrate 70+ smart phones for the company.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dligon:
Lets see which carrier will be the last to push out 5.1.1 will it be Verizon, At&t, or Sprint? http://www.androidcentral.com/us-ce...alaxy-s6-edge?utm_source=ac&utm_medium=dlvrit
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] iceman4357:
Lol. US Cellular is pushing 5.1.1 now. Never thought I would see them before any if the big 3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Cusa:
AT&T taking their time with updates as usual, what else is new.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] gregk232:
I believe AT&T rolled out 5.0 for the Note 4 before any other carrier?

For sure, they rolled out before Tmobile.

just sayin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
That doesn't fit the narrative of AT&T users. But go to the T-Mobile side and everyone thinks T-Mobile sucks with updates....... pattern?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] gregk232:
Yeah there is a pattern. Every device/carrier I go to that is not a nexus, I get the shaft.

Moto backflip, motor atrix, lg Optimus g, sgs4,.... att

Note 4 .... tmo

Unreal, well now its between ATT and Verizon to give their customers the latest update.

My next phone will be the new Nexus or iPhone. Both of those get timley updates

and no matter what carrier you receive the update when released.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dligon:
I'm guessing or betting it will be Verizon next with the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] iceman4357:
Will be at&t then Verizon is my guess.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] crea78:
If lucky, we will get the update by mid-end of July
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dligon:
Is that mid to end july this year or is that before or after they push out android M.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
Well considering Verizon just started pushing out a very minor bug fix update to fix roaming in puerto rico i highly doubt they'll be the next one to release 5.1.1. Hopefully the update passes through AT&T's labs soon......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] cbridge95:
The ram issues have gotten ridiculous. It's embarrassing to watch the phone struggle so much when I show it off to people.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] anneoneamouse:
It's just a phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
It's not just a phone. It's a small portable computer with a high resolution display and the ability to connect to WWAN. Anyone who says their smartphone is 'just a phone' is using it wrong :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] anneoneamouse:
It's just a phone; the interface is too clunky to be used anything more than occasionally, the screen resolution is pointless, and it isn't powerful enough to be computationally useful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
And what were you using on your desktop ten years ago? Was that useless as well?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
Really? I use my phone to

One thing I don't do much on my 'just a phone' is make phone calls.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] timde9:
It's kinda sad already. the two biggest carriers in the country can't release an update for a major phone until EVERYONE else has. All for what? So they can cram it full of bloatware that nobody will actually use or give a **** about and folks like us will immediately uninstall. The disconnect is just sad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
I agree. But remember folks use what's easiest, so if AT&T sticks some crap on the phone, the 'norms' will be more likely to use it. They will claim its to make sure the update Works on their network. But if they didn't mess with the software then they wouldn't need to mess with it more to make it work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] bondosho:
If you are saying "it's just a phone" then why didn't you buy a flip phone for "just a phone."

That being said, I'm already looking to see how the OnePlus 2 is. If I can get an invite, I'll buy it, and then somehow beg AT&T to take this phone back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] timde9:
They won't just take it back if your on a NEXT installment just sell the phone on ebay or something for close to the amount you have left to pay on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
Nu-uh man, its my LIFE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dligon:
Probably will do the same thing when the 1+ two is out and just sell this on Swappa even for a loss will be worth it if the 1+ two is ok spec wise which I figure it will be the invite will probably be what drives me crazy waiting for one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] knigitz:
I've had this phone since day 1, and no issues like that here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] cbridge95:
Same, but I had launcher redraws on the stock launcher (not nova). App crashes, slow app response and slow app start ups. Laggy keyboards, laggy multitasking. All which can be fixed with a restart but really shouldn't be necessary.

It's real just look up s6 ram issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dligon:
Well by the time AT&t does push out the update I will be willing to bet android M will be out and of course me in my infinite wisdom would think it would be just easier just to push out that instead of being out dated once again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] DigitalUnderground:
That invite system is ridiculous. Hopefully their product is of more quality, their customer service steps up, and they drop that invite system. The internals are great, but everything else is meh

The nexus 5 2015 could be nice. I love my nexus 5. I use it for all my tinkering and geek satisfaction needs while I use my S6 for my daily. I don't see myself replacing this phone for a while. Aside from the battery, its pretty perfect. There's not much else I could want
