So, here I am, end of April, and I just get an "incremental update" notification for O5Q and it's only ~8mb or so. I remember a couple of months ago doing the O5Q update and after a quick google search, I'm not really seeing anything mentioning a more recent update to O5Q. Can anybody else confirm/disconfirm a 2nd O5Q update? Any word on what the changes are?
I'm patiently awaiting the stock update to lollipop and hoping that will be here soon

What are the new features on 5.1.1 update?
That's a sweet list. I wish they wouldn't have even bothered with the 5.1.1 update, and instead used that time to get the marshmallow 6.x update out the door and available to all of us a little bit quicker.
Still haven't heard of a potential release window for the update, but I would be plesently surprised if it was anytime before the end of January.

apparently the potential release date is Q1 2016, so we're probably gonna get it in august
I am in the US on an unlocked S7 G930U.
Earlier this week I received notice of a Software Update.
I am always hesitant to install these updates until I know what they are and see what people are saying about their performance.
I havent seen anything about this here (am I missing it somewhere) although on GSMArena there is a scary sounding thread with people installing a recent update and having major battery issues.
Is there anyway to see what this update is before it gets installed? Any ideas? Thanks.
BTW - the update is ~452MB.

I'm kind of new here, but after reading up on the Samsung support forums apparently G930U will only be receiving quarterly security updates so this update is all of the regular updates the carrier versions have received since September rolled up into 1 large package. It's still 6.0.1, and so far, I haven't seen any adverse effects (although I'm not rooted, so no clue if it effects anything along the lines of the boot loader) Also, during my internet search on what this update was, I came across this site that lists out the firmware (and Android level) of every release for a Samsung product, which confirmed not the nougat update. - can't make a real link since I'm new to posting on XDA, so search Google for "live-samsung updates"
Hope that helps!

I updated my G930U and have had no issues. Took it off the charger this morning at 8am, it's now nearly 1pm and battery is at 97%. Obviously I haven't used it much but there's certainly no unusual standby battery issue so far.
Yeah. Let's hope it fixes a bunch of things....I mean they're gonna have like a month to do it. Also I'm thinking this might go along with the October security update or maybe even Oreo but I'm not gonna get my hopes up for the latter lol

Yeah... few weeks sounds like Oct. security patch, possibly bug fixes too from Essential. Oct. is just a few days away, Google pushes security updates at the beginning of the month, Essential is aiming for updates 2 weeks after Google. So, couple of weeks looks like Security Update at the very least.
I know there was a delay with the Q beta 4 after Google released it but too many bad things happened to people's phones so they halted the OTA and then released it again after fixing. I can't remember if I sideloaded the update before I realized that it was problematic, but I haven't received any OTA notification update for the Q 5 even when forcing to check manually.
I know that Q 5 release has happened as I can see downloadable images from earlier this month, but has a similar problem happened this time around (that occurred with initial Q 4) and that's why I'm not being notified right now?
I was on a difference computer during the last release so I can't remember or have records if I sideloaded it, but is there a way to check if I did? I understand that if I sideloaded the update then I won't get future "automatic/transparent" OTA notifications or updates.
Wanted to clear things up since I would rather keep things easy rather than having to keep sideloading them until the official release.
q5 aint out yet

Oh man, I don't know how I was misreading things on the Android beta downloads. That's totally the case. Seriously my bad. I'll delete this post in a bit to keep the forum garbage post clean.
its out now
My phone model is SMG970W. I got the OTA update for the June security patch around the end of June. Because I wasn't on WiFi at the time, I swiped away the update to get back to it at a later time. But when I searched for an update later, it kept saying I was already on the latest update. And it has been like this since. July's almost ending, I'm still on the May Security patch, no update in sight. Did everyone else get their updates?
