Who has gotten the OTA?

Post if you have gotten the gb 2.3.4 OTA yet... If you did please post a screen shot of the about phone .
Mods if you feel this needs to be close or deleted go right ahead.

Do you have some source suggesting anyone should be seeing it soon?
*Edit* I see posts of people saying that other people are saying they are getting the OTA, but nobody who actually says they got it themselves haha

Yeah that is what i read too . That is why i started this thread so that we can see who has it and to actually show us an actually screen shot of it on their phone.

First I've heard of people claiming to have it. Guess we'll see...certainly would be nice, seems like it should help the devs having it out officially.

I honestly didn't think official GB would be coming so soon :] Ohhh my beloved Charge, you just keep getting better.

I haven't seen anyone saying they've gotten the OTA update. EP1W seems stable enough to release, though. I think the current issues a few people are having are isolated to their location (constant tower switching draining battery) or the TW4 implementation in the debloated leak.

You can check for, and potentially even download an OTA update when on a custom ROM, however, you won't be able to actually apply it. It checks literally every file to make sure it hasn't been modified, and if any file is missing or changed, it will fail to update.

As of right now,09/06/11 1:46PM Eastern in Fort Lauderdale, FL, with a last name starting in "S," I have NOT gotten the update. I know sometimes it rolls by area, sometimes it rolls by last name (like Sprint) - if it is coming today, it hasn't come to me yet. Obviously you guys will be first to know if/when it does.
I'm 100% stock, not even rooted. Just FYI.

I don't think any OTA will be rolling out until the end of the month at the earliest.

I think Verizon typically updates their device support page before rolling out OTA updates:
http://support.vzw.com/system_update/charge.html
http://support.vzw.com/pdf/system_update/droid_charge_instructions.pdf
http://support.vzw.com/pdf/system_update/droid_charge.pdf
Nothing new there so I'm guessing they haven't started rolling out GB anywhere.

Guess the people who say they've gotten it are lying. Not believing its released yet until I see screenshots. And yeah, even though the rom itself is done, they still have to finalize it and make sure it's ready for OTA, not just flashing through PST, train their staff, etc etc. But WE have it

THIS!
The leak was labeled as "official" so maybe that is where people are saying they have he official one.
I think we will see the OTA's before the end of the month unless p3droid has another leak in their hands (this last one was a month old)

Nothing here in good old NH yet

So what real proof do we have that this EP1W is even the final release?

My thought is that this is not the release that Verizon will be rolling out. The "official" designation is something that the dev guys put on it, saying its their official release.
There are some strange things in the UI that make me think this isn't an RC. Also, the timing of it is odd, since the devs have had it in their possession for so long.

Let me correct you both,
I do not label things, if it is labled as official and OTA by samsung, then I will state it is official. If that changes over time I will state that as well. You assumption that I just randomly give titles to this is very incorrect.
As to your second point, we always have things in our possesion long before releasing to the general public. That is not an indicator of squat.

Is anyone else losing hope we'll see an official lollipop update from at&t?

I've been searching all over and ive found nothing. It's the begining of a new year and I'm starting to think we're not getting a lollipop update anymore..

I always believe all model branded by us carriers will get any update last of all other makes.

Yeah, it's been that way pretty much with every phone I've ever owned. I wish phone manufactures wouldn't allow carriers to intervene. But at least usually an international ROM is ported over to the us models.. I wish someone would do that

I just want it to come so i can get the latest cloudy.

Right. That's the ROM I wanted to use.

Custom Roms.
That's why we use custom roms. The unofficial cyanongen is a good substitute for a lollipop update.

Really??? When have you ever known AT&T to let anyone know about an update until it is in process? I think we will get an L update for two reasons. AT&T has always seemed to allow at least one major upgrade of versions and the phone is barely 6 months old.
Besides that, the rollout of L for international G3s started less than 2 months ago. U.S. carriers typically take time to "test" (i.e. install their bloatware and figure out how to lock down the phone) the new updates.

Yeah I'm getting very fed up with all this too... I use liquidsmooth in the meantime and it works great, but I just miss the LG camera... Also other features but mainly the camera... I had the nexus 5 before this phone and I loved the timely updates... Too bad it don't work the same with this phone...

I was being a little over dramatic. I know eventually we'll get an update, but instead of trying to add all that bloat and strip things from the software they should be trying to get it out for the users as soon as possible.

Unfortunately this is the case with all android phones and tablets. The latest and greatest hits the Nexus lines first. Other phones are at the mercy of the phone manufacturer (as well as the carriers in some cases).

With all the custom roms and cm12 for our phone right around the corner. Who needs an official bloated at&t L Rom. Custom roms run so much better than stock anyway. .....and L is good but very over rated K.K. 4.4.4 is working great. Be patient you will get your stock at&t L by the latest March
********************************
Update today I got a notification to update I am ON stock d85010d
I have the phone a week this was my 1 st notification I wonder if this is the 10f or something else I haven't rooted yet. Did anyone else get this today and if so what is it ?

It's 10f I got the notice today as well. If you are rooted it will not break root.

I believe it'll come to us soon but I can care less if the update comes. I'm fine with what were using now.

the only problem with all the Lollipop Roms we currently have is that the camera app sucks, we loose 4K recording, Laser Focus, Slow motion and front facing flash. Plus the quality of the pictures is not even near to the quality of the stock camera.

1cwolf has been rooting the stock roms and tweaking them I am sure he will do the same when L drops. He is making debloated ver also. That's prob what I'll stick with cause the stock Rom does run very good. I always get better WiFi with stock roms more powerfull WiFi signal

What size was the 10F update? I am betting that is a small update before lollipop comes in...
let's not forget...the AT&T G2 was one of the first phones to get KitKat. Besides Nexus devices are there any other devices with Lollipop? LG is moving pretty quick to get the international version of Lollipop out. Where is Samsung and HTC with Lollipop for their devices?

Should I give up my dream of rooting and just update to 5.1.1?

This guy got me all excited like some big rooting exploit was found :crying:. Since being dumb and updating my phone in mid-summer to 5.0.2, I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for a chance to root my phone. Unfortunately, Verizon ignores the FCC's ruling that they can't disallow the user from doing what they want with their device. Should I keep waiting for someone to find an exploit or should I just give up my dream?
Here's my phone stats just in case someone knows of a way:
Model: SM-G920V
Version: 5.0.2
Kernel Version: 3.10.61
Build ID: LRX22G.G920VVRU2AOF1

Just update your missing out on wifi calling this phone won't be rooted

Does Marshmallow give us a chance?
Taking a different angle, is there a greater or lesser chance of having our phone rooted once Marshmallow is available? Will the newer OS introduce exploits that can affect root? Thanks for any insight you smarter folks can provide

I personally updated to 5.1.1 in the last 4 months, but in all honesty I didn't really utilize root very much, it was more of a play thing for me. I was rooted on all my previous devices though in the last 5 years, so it's not super easy for me to simply drop root on a whim.
I know some people use tethering as they still have unlimited data, which my buddy has a unrooted device and uses FoxFi for, which still works unrooted.
I have to say though that 5.1.1 runs much better than any of the previous rooted roms. I really like the wifi calling because the signal in my apartment isn't too hot (1 bar of 4G) and thus the phone doesn't eat battery at home like it used to. The OS feels a lot more responsive (though the sluggishness is not fully fixed it's much better) and overall it's just a better experience at the moment.
If you need to turn off apps you still can for the most part. There aren't too many you can't disable.
Who knows, maybe once we get Marshmallow there will be a new hole and then we can have the best of both worlds. Here's to hoping.

It will likely be harder to root. There have been significant changes to 6.0.* to improve "security". I wouldn't really expect root on this device to be widely available.

WiFi calling allows you much clearer calling than normal calls. Even more so when talking to another Verizon customer with the same feature. You don't get locked into bad cell towers (like the places I go) and allows you to VPN where needed - even your calls. It seems like a level more of privacy but it might be that "V" might be listening (ala Microsoft Skype). Don't know about that one.
The upgrades also allow you to video chat with another Verizon customer but it works exceptionally poorly and consumes loads of bandwidth that some networks (and 4G/LTE networks) can't handle.

If we don't have an unlocked bootloader by the time 6.0 rolls out I'll probably just flash that and deal with not being rooted.

You're conflating wifi calling (just the ability to call over wifi - which is not available on 5.02) with HD Voice/Video aka Advanced Calling (which is higher quality voice over LTE, which is available on 5.02). Personally, I've seen 0 instances of having voice over wifi kick in except for the time I forced it on by connecting wifi while having the phone in airplane mode. I have a feeling Verizon doesn't activate it unless there's absolutely zero 4g coverage.

So, I just downloaded the latest king root and it looks as though it worked. Installed root checker and titanium Backup. Everything working as expected. Can anyone confirm, or maybe explain to me how this is too good you be true?

Read those threads carefully, as any custom ROM and root method only works on older Verizon S6, phones that updated cant be rooted or install ROMs. I believe the cutoff was OE2, but i have taken all updates so i quit keeping track, so check other threads to find out for sure.

Marshmallow will get here when it gets here.

I understand the craving for an update, but it seems every week there's a new thread asking when Marshmallow will arrive. I understand the irony of this statement, but please do not make anymore threads asking when the update will be out. Those are questions better suited for your carrier (I'm sure they have forums). Threads promoting discussion about Marshmallow are okay, such as asking what you're looking forward to most, but simply asking when it's going to be out is not making it come any faster.
While you're waiting, try flashing some of the ROMs, Kernels, and recoveries that our fantastic devs so graciously provide to us for free. @TEKHD, @jovy23, @foreverloco, @dr.ketan, @arter97, and @UpInTheAir (If I've forgotten anyone, I apologize) have all done amazing work for our device on the current version of Android. Take this time to test out their ROMs/kernels and if you get bored, flash another one. Explore all the settings and options. There is a lot you can do with what you've been given here.
Sorry. Rant over.

Thank you for saying what needed to be said. Although I am currently on the latest ROM and kernel from @TEKHD and @UpInTheAir, I was stock for the first 5 months of owning the Note 5. It runs more than fine on 5.1.1, and for everyone complaining that the M8 or M9 are getting MM on T-Mobile before us, there's a good reason for it. HTC has released MM for the international models and Samsung hasn't yet. T-Mobile can't release what they don't have.

I am also running stock 5.1.1 with root on my N5 and it's perfectly fine with LP. I'm in no rush for the MM update. There's a chance it may bring issues along with it and I read somewhere that it would be some time in March when we can see the update. Everyone just needs to hang tight.

@NotATreoFan @tamelion1117
Well said, sirs. I'd personally prefer to wait longer if it meant that most of the bugs and issues are ironed out when it finally hits our device. A solid, smooth update that comes a tad late is better than a half-assed buggy update that comes immediately.

People generally feel there need to want the latest and greatest, in this case, the most up to date version of Android. I personally don't think MM will add much benefit to the note 5 because 5.1.1 is already quite good. Especially when you compare it to previous versions on tw.
If you want mm so badly, simply sell your note 5 and buy a nexus 6p. ;p it's crossed my mind a few times.

I was just thinking about this. As soon as an upgrade is pending many people all of a sudden seem to be unhappy with the phone until they get it.

Word. Nevermind that 5.1.1 runs like a bandit on the Note 5. Doze and permission control will be nice, but Samsung implemented the app optimization feature and the ROM I'm running right now has permission control as well. I'm not sure what else people want.
I'm sure the same people crying for the update will also be the ones to pin point and complain about every minor bug like it's some experience-breaking issue.

Just wait until it arrives and 37 threads pop up from sub 50 post users all notifying us of the update. Just trying to boost their thanks/post count and acting like little kiddies. I remember the note 4 general thread when an update dropped.

Anyone that is getting ansy for the MM update should read up on the 5.0 lollipop update on the Moto X 2014, my previous phone. Was one of the first to get the update, and so it had all the bugs. Didn't ever get totally sorted out, although 5.1 made it much better.

It could be around the corner:
"Samsung Galaxy Note 5 - February 2016"
Sammy is working on it, which means we'll likely see it late in the summer...ish.

It looks like the AT&T Note5 has a beta test that just went live today, not many testers but someone that is on XDA got it, might be some kind of beta firmware floating around in the not too distant future. Also good news that Samsung is getting that far on any carrier, might have something for Tmo in the not so distant future.

Take this with a *HUGE* grain of salt, but I would suspect they're testing MM on AT&T because they're the largest GSM carrier in the US, and they also love to modify the builds more than T-Mobile does.

It's not the April patch and we already had March's with Nougat. Hopefully some bug fixes and performance improvements. My battery has been a lot worse since Nougat

I didn't see an update from you about this, but I wanted to weigh in. I saw this thread and your issue. I installed the update myself and it seemed to stay on the Sprint LTE screen for way too long. I actually had time to stare at it, worry, then pull up this thread, reread your issue, read the reply about recovering, and reread the solution! Then the screen dimmed and after I stared it down some more, it loaded the system stating the update was successful. Not sure if this was your issue, but maybe? For those that may run into this, I guess be patient!

To fix the issue, I had to perform a clean Odin flash then update. I'm guessing the conflict was related to me previously being on the beta versions of Nougat.

Samsung's security updates are a month behind, it was basically the march security update now that it's just about April.

I had same issue before this update. Phone was stuck on beta version and said I was on the latest version when checking OTA. Smartswitch is complete garbage. Not only do you have to mess around with old C++ redistributable just to get the latest Smartswitch to run, once you do get it running the auto-prompt to revert back to stock no longer worked and the manual recover feature also didn't work as it said I had an invalid serial number even know I didn't. Not only did it not work, apparently the serial it wants is on the box only so if you don't have the box your SOL. I had the box and it still didn't work. Total lousy tool and worthless.
I ended up having to flash the official build with ODIN doing a clean flash. Once I did that, everything was great. Issues went away (battery drain, lag, getting hot, etc) Now this latest update popped up like normal. Update didn't take long to install, all good.
So those that were on beta at some point, use ODIN to flash official build. I already have a GS8+ on order and moving to big red after 15+ years with Sprint. Sprint is taking away subsidy on top of I can't take the network anymore it's total crap. That is a story for another day.

Well if anyone cares, the update includes the checks against hiding GPS mock apps from system. No more hiding. No more Pokemon Spoofing, if you're into that.

I just checked with your app. It still does not work in Pokemon. It says failed to detect location. The "fix" was almost specifically to benefit Niantic.

Stuck at LTE Screen

I have the same issue. Updated late Sunday evening and never got past the LET screen. I left it on over night plugged in and still at the LTE screen in the morning. Went to Samsung Experience Center in Best Buy and they re-flashed and all was well with no data loss.
I was prompted for the update again this morning, ran it and again looking at the damn LTE screen as I type this. The Samsung folks are off until Thursday so trying to figure this out. The SmartSwitch app does not recognize the phone.
Will look at Odin and appreciate any tips you, or anyone, has.
