It Worked thanks

they still update lollipop -_-
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] timenuke:
Would anyone be making a smaller version of a500fu marshmallow as it takes up lot of storage on the phone or how would I go around eliminateing some of the system stuff to free some room on my device?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] burimselmani:
You can disable most of them that so you will free some space in your device.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] MoshPuiu:
This is one of best they can do because there are always people who wants to keep old fw versions or even downgrade. So, the better way is to update all variants of firmware...
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] siwy991:
Hi guys, started to doubt if my A3 will receive MM update, still no info nor any new clues xD. As I can see it's not so different from current soft, so not very big loss. Wondering if that will change, hope someone will converse soft from A5 and will do any decent custom ROM ;)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] PlutoDelic:
Scratch it off.

A3 and A5 are very similar, so whoever would maintain their software, would push for a parallel release, for whatever cost effective reasons.

I dont see any hope for it.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] thealliens:
Still nothing on wi-fi certification!
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] siwy991:
Yeah, still nothing there that's why I think they wont update that. From the other hand, not every variant of A5 received OTA update yet - look at A500FU. We'll need just to wait a bit, but I dont expect that update to be.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] jimbomodder:
The update will take months to reach all. My wife has the s5 neo which is fully supported yet about half doesn't have MM yet.

Sent from my GT-I9505
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] MoshPuiu:
My wife also has a s5 neo unbranded and it also doesn't have MM. I've notice that devices branded are first to receive updates of OS, the rest of unbranded... God knows...
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] PlutoDelic:
Here, MM for S5 Neo. I share this as i want to make a point on samsung's update cycles.

Here's the story. Samsung has a base, and after some time, it considers it's work for stable enough, and releases it.

However, they also seem to choose a region, either randomly, or there is a scheme of it as well, as i have noticed a pattern.

Let's say, you are in Luxembourg, and you own an A3 that you've purchased in February, 2016. It has a build installed named PB1 (P stands for 2016, B for February, and 1 is the first release). It just happened that when somebody bought that phone that month, it was the region samsung chose to release the cycle. By region, sometimes it's continental, sometimes a single country, and sometimes a stream of smaller countries.

Meanwhile, samsung released, PB2, PF1, PF5, PG1, but those releases are on different regions, hence they are not pushed to Luxembourg.

Even major upgrades such as MM, will be pushed in exactly the same way, unfortunately. Sometimes, there are regions that never, NEVER get a major upgrade, while 99% of the other regions do.

In summary:

1. Samsung releases updates for new phones monthly, for 2 year old devices, it moves to a 3 month pattern. And lastly, older phones who remain popular receive updates only on specific regions (India i.e), once a year.

2. From OTA perspective (which is the "region limitation"), new phones are updated every 3 months (faster cycles through regions), while older phones (like A3) probably dont see OTA's for 6 months and up.

NEVER, NEVER have high expectations from Samsung, especially if it isnt standard international mainstream release (S7, etc). the hardware that was released due to too much stock at the workplants (S5+, S5 Neo, etc) is really barely supported, or have half of the benefits of the update cycles i mentioned.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] siwy991:
well as I said when creating that thread - I was almost 100% that I wont have any newer android on my A3. This phone was updated from 4.4 to 5.0 so what else I should expect? Specially I had S3 Neo and this phone remained with 4.4 xD We all know Samsung policy regarding updates. What made me change my mind was A3 manual designed for Marshmallow, the same for A5. But now I see two possibilites for m A3 - it wont receive that update or it will but in best case in October xD

there's A3 update but don't know if it's compatible with mine.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] yellowrobot:
A small request :)

Cheers, may I ask some of you, who have installed MM, could you post some screenshots and tell about the new functions and battery life?

(My A5's battery drained really fast and I had to take it to have it replaced. That's why I'm interesting.)

I'm sure loads of us are really interested, please don't hesitate to talk about it.

Thank you.:o
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] mcheraghimn:
There's a lovely feature that I noticed after installing Android 6.0.1.... The Sidesync on this version of Android allows you to use a different keyboard layout than English (Ok, I don't know if this feature existed in Lollipop, but I noticed it only after installing Android 6).

Another difference is that "black and white mode" in normal power saving mode no longer exists. I think it is logical because it really didn't have much effect on prolonging the battery life. Moreover, there's this new option that allows you to automatically turn on power saving mode when, for example, battery drops below 20 percent.

***There are also extra options when you connect your A5 to other devices via USB (or possibly 3.5mm jack). That is, when you click on the corresponding icon in the notification panel after connecting the device, 4 options will become available: 1.Transferring Media Files 2. Transferring Images 3. Connecting MIDI devices 4.Charging. (Image is attached)

***"Palm Swipe to Capture" is possibly updated, because when you capture a screenshot, three options appear at the bottom of the screen: Capture More (for scrolling), Share, Crop. (I'm not sure if this feature is specifically for TouchWiz or Good Lock)

"Do not disturb" is also a new feature in my opinion, which has a button in the notification panel. I think "Read Notification Aloud" is also a new feature.

Finally, Application Manager seems easier to deal with. The transition when turning off the screen is pleasant and the larger size of icons is definitely eye-catching. Google Now might be interesting for people in supported countries.

the Samsung Galaxy S4 started with 4.2.2 get 4.4.2 and final 5.0.1 why can we get in A3 as well 3 upgrades?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] siwy991:
Well, probably because A3 is not a flagship and didnt cost as much as S4. Despite that - it's Samsung. I think we wont receive MM on A3 or at least I'm quite pessimistic. Why? Manual appeared since 01.07.2016 or so and nothing more through 2 months. A5 has MM already OTA and we dont even have wifi cert yet. I think they dropped that update.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] yellowrobot:
They don't drop any registered update, they've started rolling it out. Despite it's not a flagship, if the manual says the update will arrive in weeks/months. Just stay patient!
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] siwy991:
No worries, I'll stay with that phone anyway for some time cause I like it:) but if we're talking about samsung updates - I'd rather be surprised than disappointed - that's why I dont count on any big update for this phone. Btw, the most needed MM function for me was Doze, A5 doesnt have it so I'm waiting only for custom roms :)

Or a small beep what you hear when the recording starts? It's in SM-A510's Android also, a bit pesky though, the recorded video will start with that beep despite it shouldn't. Or the camera lense, what the previous answer says.

Small update news about Android 6 availability for A300FU

As i posted already in the CM13 thread for the A3:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

A small update regarding future Android 6 availability for the A300FU:

Das Update ist schon freigegeben aber steht derzeit noch nicht als Download zur Verfügung. Es sollte allerdings nicht mehr lange dauern. Diese Info stammt von Samsung direkt.

Translation:

The update is already released but not yet available for download. It should not take long anymore. This info comes directly from Samsung (support).

This is the info one user in a German forum (android-hilfe.de) gave after having had contact with the Samsung support (can't post link as a new user). However as this is not quite official we can only hope it's true. I keep my battery charged, excitedly waiting.

You can google: a300fu marshmallow android 6 on android-hilfe.de

If you rename your device type to, let's say, S6, it will update them.

Those apps may have not been planned to be used in Legacy TW, hence they remove our devices from the support list, no matter the OS version. That doesn't mean they won't work :).

/system/build.prop

what you want to do is, rename SM-A300FU (i.e) to SM-G930F (S7).

You need root btw, and apart from that, you need a Text Editor/File Manager with root abilities (that is, if you plan to do it in the device)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] PlutoDelic:
Ok, so while going through some odd Samsung stuff i've recently found, i stumbled on something weird.

Samsung has no idea what it is doing. The point of all this is that i usually monitor live.samsung-updates.com for all A3 Series 2015 variants, and usually see the maintenance cycle, and no variant is the same in treatment, however, some odd the **** out.

Anyway, the whole idea was just to create a table with the latest version and build for each variant, and here is what i found out

SM-A300FU - Obviously, received Marshmallow 6.0.1.

SM-A300F - halted at Lollipop 5.0.2, has even Kit Kat 4.4.4 updates going on.

SM-A300Y - Recently got two Marshmallow 6.0.1 releases

SM-A300YZ - A weird one, with slow cycles

SM-A3000 - very rare updates, has Lollipop 5.0.2

SM-A3009 - Only two Lollipop 5.0.2 releases, very slow cycles

SM-A300G - Unusually halted at Lollipop 5.0.2, it is as frequent as A300F, although slower cycles.

SM-A300M - Same as G, M G and F share a similar distribution, with only FU being a bit wide spread more. Stuck at Lollipop 5.0.2

And here comes the weird one

SM-A300H - Although it is officially at Lollipop 5.0.2, it features a 5.0.1 release, now buckle your seat, it also has a Lollipop 5.1.1

what the hell are you doing samsung? the 5.1.1 one caught me by surprise
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] nikos7hellas:
Unfortunately

this is exactly what i mean when i am saying the Sammy is fooling us

this August give us a new version of 5.0.2 not even a rumor about Marshmallow

not even Wi-Fi certificated for a new version of Android its still Lollipop for all variants of A3

the FU variant got Marshmallow why they dont certificated?

in my A3 (A300F d/s) i think is difficult to get Marshmallow because is a mess the way they thinking

in this Company...

Some people saying the FU variant got Marshmallow because it has 1.5 gb ram more from other variants

but in case of Galaxy A3 A300Y it has 1 gb ram like us what is going on?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] mkarps:
I have the a300y but still no update. Am I able to flash any of the marshamollow toms for the other a300y that are releasing or need to wait for my specific one?

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

Also my a300y has 2gb of ram I believe.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] PlutoDelic:
You can flash a Martian release in earth, as long as the device and the release for it is the same, regions only matter to OTA's.

Anyway, here's Marshmallow for A300Y, all are direct links.

PS, Smart Manager will show you how much RAM you have.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] mkarps:
I meant 1.5 gigs of ram, not 2. So I can just flash that through odin or stock recovery? Or do I have to root and install custom recovery?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] PlutoDelic:
All A300Y have 1.5GB RAM to my knowledge.

Odin is an internal Samsung tool, hence why it can flash samsung roms.

Stock Recovery can only flash SIGNED ZIP packages.

TWRP can flash any ZIP package, obviously, hence why it is a CUSTOM recovery.

Now that you know what each is, all you have to do is download the stock rom of your desire, and flash it with Odin.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] nikos7hellas:
Any News

Any news about other variants?

except A300FU and A300Y...
