[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ericbergan:
Did the upgrade this morning. Bit of a heart stop when it sat at the Verizon screen for about 5 minutes on the reboot, but then it finally brought up the updating apps screen.

Only problem I've found so far is that for some reason, it removed just about every one of my purchased apps. All the free ones were there, but had to go out to the store and re-download all those I had bought. Strange...
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] AdamHLG:
Verizon Messenging crashes for me, but if I uninstall the Verizon Messenging app update it will work. Other than that 5.1.1 working thus far.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] crash613:
How in the world did the Verizon version come out before the wifi?!?! Verizon is NEVER first... They are usually dead last! As with my note 4....still on 5.0.2 several months after the release of 5.1
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] SugeLover:
Has anyone been able to root or keep root after updating?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Gamecocks.Fan:
Has anyone found where we can download the update from so I can flash it with Odin?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] meirg:
I too am awaiting confirmation on this before updating
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] meirg:
I have the update.zip if it will help any devs with root or bootloader unlocking. It seems the update is a 2-parter, I have the the first update which according to the description "prepares your device for the 5.1.1 update." Please contact me if anyone can use it
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] tdetroit:
Due to some new policies at work, Rooted devices weren't allowed to be connected to our E-mail, so I went ahead and took the plunge to 5.1.1 without worrying about rooting (gasp....did I just say that?). Anyhow, this thing feels like a new device. Much smoother, more responsive and it seems that the battery life is actually improved. IF Root does come along for the 5.1.1 update, I may root it and just use one of my other tablets for work, but I'm pleasantly surprised how well the NP runs at this point. Also...REALLY surprised that Verizon actually had the 5.1.1 update.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] meirg:
Can you test the old root method and see if it works? TIA
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] tdetroit:
It does not.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ckozler:
Hi - I just got my NP today delivered and got the new OTA update. Can you provide any of the root methods that previously worked for you on the P905v? You stated that your job doesnt allow the rooted device but I am wondering if this one can be rooted still any way? I want to run linux deploy on here to run Fedora or Ubuntu but always end up down a rabbit trail with this setup that I can never get out of

Thanks for any help!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] tdetroit:
I don't think there's a root yet for the Verizon variant, and I've not actively searched for one at this point. It was needed while the Tablet was on 4.4.2, but 5.1.1 gives me enough control not to worry about it too much right now. Before I used Towelroot, which will NOT work on the new version.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ckozler:
Thanks for the feedback!

I have a specific reason to root and thats to use linux deploy so I can have a fully functional Linux OS on my tablet which would be really ideal so I think the root is still required. What control did you gain in upgrading to 5.1.1 ? Linux deploy needs root and SELinux permissive, from what I can tell, to use a loopback device and install the Linux OS there so I think even if I did get root, I'd still need to custom compile a kernel and to that end, I am not too confident in possibly bricking my brand new tablet. For now I seem to be able to settle on a VNC session to a Linux VM I have on DigitalOcean
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] lawalty:
i'm totally excited that my NP will eventually be updated to 5.1.1 it's just i'm still completely confused on why my stock (no-carrier) branded NP is still on 5.0.1, when Big-Red carrier is rolling out 5.1.1 to their devices.

I think I can smell the money being transferred to Sammy for Bid-Red's propriety rollout.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] tdetroit:
I've actually noticed less bloatware, and apps that I couldn't disable before (which is why I rooted so I could get rid of them), I can disable now. I have a 128GB card in it loaded with Music, Books, Images, and on 4.4.2-the device would often F/C which it's no longer doing. I've also noticed that the micro-stutters as I call them, are gone. Everything is a lot smoother.

Trust me friend....I was just as surprised when my Verizon Tablet had the update. I read about it while at work and told my Team Lead that I MUST go home right now, work from home or something, but I gotta leave NOW.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] sebastianraven:
Do I have to throw my Verizon SIM to get the update or can I just keep it on WiFi?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] tdetroit:
Mine came over Wifi but I've always had my Verizon SIM in. Not sure if there was a pre-check before downloading.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] fantasticrat:
I'm upgrading my rooted tablet now using Kies (I figure the upgrade is worth risking losing root--but I'm not sure it'll work anyway since I outright deleted Knox). I'll let you know if TR works to re-root, or if I lose root in the first place.

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

dot dot dot ... apparently I didn't read the threads above :) I'm upgrading regardless.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] bdevillier19:
So I am using a Verizon note pro 12.2 for my work tablet. I bought it unlocked from Groupon and it has an att sim card in it. Will I be able to get the update?

Edit: I was able to get the update through kies 3, although it took for ever. The tablet runs much smoother than in the past. So far I am pretty happy with it. I'm also using nova launcher to get rid of as much touchwiz as possible.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] rainabba:
Not seeing any confirmations about keeping root (which I don't expect) or rooting 5.1.1. Any word?

Sitting here on my Note Pro 12.2 (rooted with 4.2.2) and Note 4 running 5.0.1 (considering going back to my Note 3 for daily use) and I'm ready to ditch Samsung given the root/sdcard/battery issues in this gen and what I'm seeing in the newest gen. Not so easy for me though as I'm married to GearVR for my latest venture and have to use it while at events I work paid for by Samsung :/
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] fantasticrat:
I lost root on 5.1.1. It also reinstalled all the Samsung bloatware in the process, but it looks like 5.1.1 allows me to deactivate most of the apps. Plus the battery life rocks. Mine was still at 97% battery while on standby for an entire day, which I think is pretty decent considering it has no SIM card (which I've noticed affects battery life) and was still connected to wifi/bluetooth.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Sess:
Oddly enough, while the note 4 took a huge performance hit after lolipop, the p905v seems to be smoother and butterier than ever. Haven't really noticed any lag, and other than some vzw crap i hid, its working pretty smoothly. Mostly happy with the update even with the loss of root, though im flooded with ads again. Really hoping a lolipop root method is found or the bootloader gets unlocked somehow..
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] 85gallon:
I can't get the second update to load. It downloads, spends some time installing, then errors out.

It is stuck on 4.4.2. The next time I check updates it tells me there was an error.

I was rooted. Smart switch will connect to it but I can't figure out how to force the update through that. I can't load the second update.

What are my options from here???
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] meirg:
You can try downloading from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-P905V/ and flashing with Kies
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] 85gallon:
Thanks for the quick response. Not looking a gift horse in the mouth, but is this a clean image? I kind of would like to get an official copy.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] meirg:
I believe everything on that site is stock with no modifications, if it wasn't it wouldn't work since the device is so terribly locked down :(
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] 85gallon:
I downloaded kies from Samsung and it is telling me that an update is available. Need to charge the battery though before I try.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] 85gallon:
Kies was able to update it after playing with it for a good while.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] IronHide_NSDQ:
Installed through Kies without a hitch.

Very happy that my GNP has FINALLY been upgraded to Lollipop. Was really hoping that we would get some of the updated S-Note features, but guess that was wishful thinking.

Only complaint is quite a few of my apps are fc'ing often. Think I should wipe and do a clean install? Anybody else having App problems since the update?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Sess:
I flashed using odin, then wiped. Once i did, things have been super smooth. Not a single FC, no problems. SD card storage for migrated apps seems to be busted, but I blame Verizon. Anyway I would wipe cache/dalvik and see if that resolves your issues. If not, then a full wipe will most like make your tablet run like new.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] IronHide_NSDQ:
Thanks a lot for the input. I'll do that.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] AYHJA:
I lost root with the upgrade, but like the others have suggested, it's not that big of a deal with how the device is performing post upgrade.

That said though...

If someone does get root on 5.1.1 for the Verizon variant of the GNP, I want in.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] kurtwoodfin:
$100 for root 5.1.1. I will throw in an extra $200 for a hack to the bootloader.

And how to install?!?!? Like regular app or like system app (with root)...

Edit: Installed like normal app. Works fine!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Sgt. Kofeyeh:
Tried installing as normal app on my Note 3 running stock 5.0 Lollipop, but gives "App not installed" even after signing with Zipsigner :(

Edit: I know this is a Cross Sony device thread but usually the apps I try from it work on my Note 3 without rooting (sometimes requiring Zipsigner) =P It would be interesting if you can port it to other Lollipop running devices as well =)

Try the following:

make sure all internet connection (celluar and WALN) is tuned off

wipe dalvik cache and cache with boot recovery

reboot phone

turn off synchronization of K-9 Mail App

(Setting-Network-Background synchronization-never

Turn on WLAN

make all updates of your apps

I think in my case something went wrong with K-9-Mail app.

Yesterday i tried clearing my cache partition and my phone got stuck on the screen with the android robot lying down with his chest open error screen. No matter what i do i cant seem to enter recovery mode it just goes to the error screen for like 5 seconds and then screen turns off for a second the goes back to the error screen. Just wondering if anybody knows how to fix this.
[XDA Assist] OfficerJimLahey:
Hello, and welcome to XDA! :cowboy:

Seems a bit normal to me, having one myself. Go into bootloader, have Andy lying down, screen flashes, and comes back. The difference is after the screen flash, a banner will appear at the top which you can scroll through and toggle with the volume keys and power button.

But if you select recovery and it bounces you back into bootloader, something a bit off, like "your recovery is borked" off.

You could try wiping cache again, this time with fastboot. In the mode noted above, with your phone attached to your PC, type the following command on your PC:

fastboot erase cache

...and then try opening recovery.

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Accessories] tarkuk:
Hi all

got the edge plus with the clear view case now i have exactly the same issue with the smaller edge with little dots and a scratch on the screen.

contacted Samsung and they say their is nothing official for the Edge Plus so the chances are they will not replace the screen free of charge.

is anyone out their in the same boat as me, is their any official notification from Samsung covering the Edge Plus

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Accessories] Safe0716:
Same sh*t for me, my brother has the S6 edge and had this problem, and I bought the clear view cover for my edge+ thinking it was fixed, after 3 days, noticed few scratches when I was on sunlight, 2 weeks with the phone and already pissed out 'cause of stupid things like these...
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Accessories] scdoyle:
I got this case but after reading about the issues with the S6 I only used it after installing a screen protector. I then noticed small pinpricks in the protector after using the case and I could even see the indentation of a circle where the magnet touches the screen. Fortunately most of the marks disappeared from the protector after a few days but it appears that they have not resolved this in the design. I also found that the back of the case itself scratches too easily - it is already showing several scratches even though I have been very careful in handling it. I am surprised they sell it as an official case given the known problems.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Accessories] robbieraw:
The clear view case is definitely one to stay away from. Although it added to the beauty of the phone, it just was not practical, offered no screen interaction when closed and over time I would imagine it would wear out quite quickly. Returned mine after 2 days (before any scratches set in) and opted for the official SView cover which gave me back the functionality that I was used to. Having had the original SView cover on my Note3, after 2 years of hard use it really protected my phone well. The case is in gold and looks better than I expected. Fingers crossed this new SView cover for my edge+ will hold up the same.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Accessories] nulledapk.com:
i have the clear view case for almost 2 weeks now and not a single scratch or dent visible; maybe you guys had some dust or smth in your pockets that went inbetween the case and the screen?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Accessories] ShyamSasi:
I had for few days the phone didn't scratch but the cover is completely scratched and it's just awful now ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Accessories] yesBilly:
***** crumbs in the pockets, no doubt.

I've had my gold clearview case for a week and it's looking a little bit scratchy but nothing too serious.

I just wonder where people's expectations lie in these cases. Of course we don't expect to see scratches on the screen when there's a protective case over it but the case couldn't have caused the scratches. Previous S-View and flap cases were quite soft and spongy, these ones are tough so grit could easily get pressed against the glass. If anything, Samsung should provide a screen cover with the case. I use a plastic screen cover anyway because I find the bare glass too slippery at times.

As for scratches on the case itself, well that's what it's for! It takes the hit so your phone doesn't, and with a mirror finish you'll see some wear and tear. If you wanted a case that maintains

its

original appearance then don't pick mirror finish, clear hard shell or light colours - grab a dark silicone thing to wrap around your phone and it will look the same in 2 years as it did the day you bought it. Next we'll be seeing case protector films to keep the case from degrading! :eek:
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Accessories] ShyamSasi:
Mate,

I am a very careful user 1.5 years with M8 without any case and it still looks brand new. But a "Official Samsung case" I expect it to be a bit more durable and not prone to so much scratches and this case ain't cheap either. Now Clear case by Spigen no no scratches on the case or phone. I'm happy with the performance. I chose Clear view case from Samsung so I can take advantage of it's features.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Accessories] k4syx:
I've bought the clear view case for my black S6E+ and I can confirm that it does indeed scratch the screen.

The first scratches appeared after something like 3 days of usage, so I've placed spigen ultra crystal to protect screen from further damage and to mask the spots.

I thought that maybe the reason was that I've carried the phone in the case in my pocket one day. But to my rage I've noticed that the case have damged the screen protector within 2-4 hours after applying it and this time there was no pocket to blame, I was home with my little girl sick so I've only moved the phone from one room to another always carrying it in the hand.

I've contaced Samsung Poland by their facebook account and they advised to report the problem to authorised service center in order to assess the damage, but I've let it go - I dont think they have much experience with replacing the screen in this particular device and I was afraid that the final effect may be in fact even worse.

So I replaced the Spigen with another one (~20$ went straight to the bin) and I stay away from the clear view case. At the beginning I was using S-View Cover (highly recommended) but I settled now with Rock TPU (way slimmer and better than Nillkin Nature or Spigen Liquid).

I've compared clear view cases for S6 and S6E+ and it is obviuos that they tried to improve the design by adding a kind of "lip" along the internal edge of the flap so I doesnt rest at the whole screen all the time. This means that the scratches will now be placed (as it was in my case) along the edges of the screen thus giving additional meaning to "S6 Edge" :)

It does have oleophobic coating and yes it seems to be able to heal minor scratches so thats a plus, but it really doesnt matter as long as the case meant to PROTECT the screen actually DAMAGES it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Accessories] cydiamante:
Thanks for that. Im glad i went for the S-view instead, i had it on my Note 4 previously without a single scratch.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Accessories] cz.marcin:
In UK Samsung acknowledged that clear view case causes scratches on s6 edge and they are replacing screens (only once) plus adding screen protector, wondering if its the same for s6edge+. Worth asking samsung helpline
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Accessories] Asmodeus6:
Mine did it after just a few days. I hate flip covers anyway. But I can't un-scratch the screen.

Ugh...
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Accessories] citytrader:
Chiffon Method to avoid scratches

Chiffon method to avoid scratches

Here is something that came to my mind using Chiffon fabric to put inside the cover to protect the screen, if the screen is still prone to scratches after this, means that the screen is pure crap.

If you don't want to use the Chiffon one, pay attention not to use one made from plastic.

Material:

- A cut of Chiffon fabric, in Mexico costs 1 dolar per meter.

- Transaparent glue, the one used in school that is water washable, in case of error, it can be safely removed

PROCEDURE: (Very complex) :D

- Glue the fabric into the inside of the cover as you will see in the picture

That's it, is possible to use any mostly transparent fabric in cotton or polyester that is like Chiffon or better, I found this one here.

NOTE: The pictures are very bad quality, looking at the phone is mostly the same using the fabric compared to not using it.

NOTE 2: Inside the cover is mostly the same in black, the bad lighting where I shoot it creates that gray halos, is pure black and if you are a purist you can do it much better than me.

NOTE 3: "CON" mean WITH and "SIN" means Whithout
