Not only is it slow, but I'm on the work WIFI and it drops every 20 minutes or so.. glad they finally got RESUME working.. would suck to have to wait to get home tonight to get the update completed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] steveh_131:
Mine finished. Played with it a few minutes now. Not sure it was worth this wait lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] indymx:
Definitely not worth the wait.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Shanghai.Knight:
This is a cross-post, but it's worth it. To get the full marshmallow experience, install Samsung's Touchwiz update called "GoodLock", available to the Note 5 and 7... It adds the Marshmallow interface tweaks.... This plus the screen off note taking, there are some worthwhile updates...

Do you know of any alternative? The lock screen doesn't seem to let me use s view and I don't feel like using my Zerolemon battery case .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Vbsurferr:
Anyone know how to revert back to being able to choose an app for a task without it being set to default? It's soooo annoying to have to constantly reset default apps!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Devoncoon:
Disable Screen Lock

Just wanted to let all know that it is best to disable your screen lock prior to installing "Good Lock". Especially if you are using fingerprint unlock, as it is incompatible.

It seems that the N4 is set up differently than the S5/S6/N5 as far as the fingerprint reader goes, and it (Good Lock) will freeze up and uninstall itself, if not disabled. If this happens, or if your phone locks up, remove battery and restart. It should boot normally with Good Lock uninstalled. Then disable locks and reinstall.

Hope this helps

You could try "App Picker Classic" from the play store. It may work for what you want to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Vbsurferr:
Thanks I went with "better open with" from the play store because the ui is nicer.

I'm wondering if Samsung did this to be more like Apple? I hope that's not the case. I like options. There's a reason I downloaded 3 different browsers and 4 different media players! I'd imagine simplistic people who like one default don't download other browsers and **** anyways!

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

Thanks I totally forgot about Good Lock. That's a bummer about the fingerprint but will Marshmallows new fingerprint use with apps work? Like the way some apps now will verify loging in with a print.

My Note 4 is at the baseband s2D015. The files posted which i can access are D014 to D016 and those won't update since I'm at 15.

I've tried to get that D015 file but it is "forbidden". would it possible for you to send it to me or make it available to download?

I would be appreciative of your consideration.

It would be much easier for you to use the files to Odin to marshmallow, them to do incremental updates after that. This is the suggested method at the moment.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Fourknucks:
I think he meant May 8th of 2017!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Odischeese:
I'll take a look at the note 6 when it gets announced in July but after that, I'm gonna have to rely on Google to be my Obi-wan because I just hate waiting for these updates.

It sucks and I know I'm beating a dead horse but, for Christ sakes Apple releases theirs to everyone no matter what device (4s is the limit I know) or carrier. It's ridiculous and even makes me want to go back to an iPhone so I won't have worry about the software itself. Hell it's even the quickest OS out there and their imessages is a hell of a lot better than any texting app on Android.

Idk man....

Please Google. Please put an SD card slot and OIS on your next phone. I beg of you. I don't want to have to go back to an iPhone but I don't want to worry about the software anymore. Please save me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jkleenote4:
Update Date: May 18

So I asked an AT&T agent for a confirmation date. He claims it is May 18, NOT May 8. Although I am a little skeptical because he stated there was no information about the date yet before I asked him again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] norbarb:
I'm had 4 different answers about update for Note 5. Finally today high end software developer from AT&T told me they don't really have time of release since there can not pass some bugs in software.

But hope is always good way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jakeuten:
Shocking that some people seem upset with me, I was only spreading what someone from AT&T told me. Had I known it to be misinformation I wouldn't have shown it. Their chat has confirmed accurate dates for the S III on KitKat and Note 3 for Lollipop so I figured it was accurate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jmelendez1:
Those agents troll us so hard. Haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] quanqngbk:
I do not use ATT services. How can i receive if update available? :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] COA4178:
I be doing the same thing, with exception of going to iPhone. Never have been a fan and don't plan to either haha.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Shanghai.Knight:
Three ways: (maybe 4)

1 visit a Samsung experience center in your local BestBuy

They can apply updates

2 borrow a SIM from a friend with att, to get access to the download

3 get an att go phone sim and activate it for one month (basic service equals out to $8 per month (I bought a sim for my daughter's emergency phone)

4 wait for odin files to be released
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jkleenote4:
Update date not known by Samsung

After feeling a little unsure with the May 18 date, I decided to ask a Samsung rep about this date. He stated Samsung does not have a set date for the Marshmallow update for the ATT note 4 in the Samsung system yet.

Just out of curiousity, I set my phone date to May 19 and I checked for a software update and it started downloading a software update that it had originally failed to two days ago. Now I can check for another update in 240hr ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Shanghai.Knight:
Update should be out by Thanksgiving, so you could just try setting your date to November 30...

Just kidding.

Obviously the update will not be available until ATT Posts the update and it's available.

We just have to wait...

... And keep checking this thread 3 times a day....

buhahahhaha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] partyboynx2:
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app that's giving you problems? I highly doubt every app for your device is suddenly not compatible with lollipop anymore simply because they released it overseas for this phone. I severely doubt that. It's something on your phone. Either clogged memory or an app you recently installed. Factory reset your phone and I guarantee every problem you have will go away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] briedw:
Actually my device has been fully factory reset 3 times in the last week. Once I connect to WIFI the apps update age when about 1 to 3 days passes, the problem comes back. I wouldn't have posted this had I not tried everything. AT&T tech was stumped and reactivated my warranty to send me another phone. That's why I decided to post this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] sweetboy02125:
I can't believe you guys so trusting the ATT reps. If I'm one of them I'm going to tell the same things just to make you hope and happy and make the conversation a bit more entertaining on my side(ATT rep) cause someone is so appreciate and thanks me many times and more for nothing. When I close the chat, Even if I lied,,, so what.... Sigh.... Wake up guyssss

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Retiredfinally:
Next phone will be a Nexus, SD card or not! Sick of Samsung and their update policy or lack there of!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Shanghai.Knight:
I had an LG made Nexus phone... Never again. I went through 4 phones, and each time something was wrong with the phone, I'd send it back, and they'd give me someone else's return. Each device I got was worse than the one before. I came to believe that they didn't even check the returns, they just did a factory reset and sent them back out the door. I got one that was caked in dirt. That's when I called Google and let them have a mouth full... they finally refunded my money... that's when I purchased my Note 4...

As for Huawei? No way. They've ripped off so many US suppliers, reverse engineering their products. Worst was when they reverse engineered Cisco routers, and resold them as their own, with Cisco firmware -- that still had the Cisco logo! I knew some of their managers when I lived in Asia, I asked them about their policy of reverse engineering US products, they responded, "how else can we compete against such large companies?" They'll never get a cent of my money.

Given a choice? I will ALWAYS buy Samsung. The hardware is solid, and their repair process is reliable, and often generous as to what they will be willing to do.

The problem with updates is due mostly to AT&T. The hardware, however, is top notch, in my opinion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ThreeStarGoku:
May 13.....

....and still nothing.... I did, however receive an AT&T update 3 days or so ago. It went through the optimization process but im still 5.1.1. I knew it wasnt MM because they update was only 68mb. in size. Im hoping the May 25th rumored date is accurate but 8 or so months of waiting, I'm not holding my breath. Would make for a nice free birthday present though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
Exactly. Everyone here blames Samsung and promises to never buy another Samsung device due to the updates or bootloader.

It isn't Samsung. It's ATT who did the locked bootloader and receives the update via Samsung, but then tampers with it for a few months before releasing it.

Everyone needs to stop blaming Samsung and blame ATT. If you hate all these things like the delayed updates and locked bootloaders, then go get an international version of a Samsung phone. Only then can you whine about Samsung.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jkleenote4:
Preach! Hopefully the Note 6 will have an SD card slot and have an UNLOCKED bootloader. I'm sorry AT&T, is that too much to ask from a 10 year + customer?

Also, has anyone else seen the Marshmallow update for Note 4? I've seen couple videos in YouTube and I don't know if I like it. Yes, I like the off-screen memo and other functionalities from Note 5 Samsung has incorporated. However, from the comments I've read, people have been complaining about multiple bugs and battery problems. These problems may only be regarding to the software specifically for the Note 4 model in the video, but can I expect a fully functional, no lag, buttery-smooth Marshmallow experience from AT&T?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] James.Markham0757:
Android Marshmallow was Release October 5, 2015. The Note 4 line didn't start to receive Marshmallow until April 8th, 2016.

Thats 6 months from the release date. Thats on Samsungs End. And yes At&T is dragging it out longer. Thats on them. All in all it's ridiculous. From both sides. Also with the Galaxy S7, every version released has a locked boot loader. Just shows what directions theyre headed. I still think Samsung device hardware is the best when it drops. I mean the s7 is Gorgeous, A great chipset, IP68, sd, and has me drooling at the curved 5.7inch amoled display. But I'm on the fence with Samsung. ATT is done for me in my book. They will never receive my money for a phone with their logo on it again. but as far as this software goes. You can not say that Samsung is not to blame. They're just as bad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kyuta Syuko:
Well I'm just thankful the Note 4 did get MM from Samsung. There are a few other manufacturers that drop support of a phone after a year. Note 4's almost 2 years old.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] James.Markham0757:
Yea same here. More than likely it's because the user base is still high because of people not adopting the Note5. For a $800+ device when released they should keep support for 2 years anyway. I won't expect to N on the Note4 but I'll probably have moved away from this device by then anyhow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] BereanPK:
+1 for not blaming Samsung. It's clearly AT&T who's to blame.

For years I have bought my phones for my AT&T network from Best Buy, since I hated having to rock the AT&T logo.

I will still buy Samsung, since I am a dyed-in-the-wool Apple hater who thinks Steve Jobs is burning in hell, and I never cared much for the quality of other Android phone hardware... and G-d bless me, but I just can't seem to jump the fence back to a Windows phone once I got bit by the Android bug.

But perhaps my next Galaxy Note purchase will just have to be an unlocked device...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] James.Markham0757:
You will still waiting months for an update after a new software release regaurdless bc of samsung.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kyuta Syuko:
Agreed I'm thinking I might get the international version next time...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Shanghai.Knight:
International versions often cannot get repaired in the states... Just saying. There's a price to pay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] PhonePhan:
Honestly, I've been a Sammy fan and an At&the fan since I got the Galaxy Skyrocket. I reached a point where I'm so done trying to get the latest and greatest with updates and specs that just get outdated in 5 months. Att is fine in my opinion great service everywhere I go, I'm done trying to play this wait, flash, root and update game with Android. It gets so old, can't believe I've been pushed away so much so that when I get my upgrade I'm just going to switch to the iPhone 7 in the fall.

Regardless if Marshmallows or permanent root comes out, what do you guys think is going to dramatically change? It's long over due anyways, the Note 6 Wil lbe out by then lol. This whole situation is a lost cause in my book. But I DO understand everyone's frustration. I got this last October when it was top of the line and I haven't received top of the line treatment with this phone so this is it for me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Shanghai.Knight:
I assume att has my best interests, as their customer, at heart. I also trust these updates are resolving issues that would have arisen from marshmallow update. I chose to believe the best. Att is slow, but so are a lot of other carriers.

Remember, Google has the nexus line so that they develop their operating system for these device as they develop the operating system. No wonder they have them out first. They go through this development process for a year, resolving issues on their hardware. Google has an unfair advantage when it comes to this... It merely looks like they are faster, because they have it first. They've been developing for over a year.

So.... Of course samsung and att will look much slower...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] James.Markham0757:
If of course you mean adding 30 apps of bloatware to your device as your best interest then sure!, they love us.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] PhonePhan:
It's funny because it's the 3rd party software these carriers and Android companies add onto stock that kills Android brand. We all know if we want quick updates go to Nexus, that's obvious by now. Unfortunately 3rd party vendors make cooler phones with more features we're torn between cooler features and nicer phones over buttery stock , faster update Nexus devices. It's cruel really and unfair.

Why can't everyone follow Motorola and make stock/near stock android on their phones so people won't pay $700 for a flagship just to get treated like any other low end phone. Smh beyond me
