Did you sign up for the beta ?

Yes I did but I still have no voice nor do I get new settings. No email saying I was accepted either.

Looks like it, even I didn't get the update on att

The question you'd have to ask were you approved to start with. Also check your all section to see if you have updates. I noticed sometimes updates never show up on the update section since the S6

Anyone figured out how to get it to unlock the phone.
I say Hi Bixby and it answers but every time I say a command I have to unlock the phone. I saw it said I could change it but... the box disappeared too quickly.
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

I haven't figured that out, either. Really needs to work from locked screen. Maybe trusted in the same way we can trust a paired bluetooth device.
Sent telepathically

I got a message on how to do it, but it went away faster than I could click it.

Then it sounds like the OTA has finally arrived! Maybe they will unlock the bootloader with it bahahahah
I'm not updating a damn thing until the bootloader is unlocked

According to most sources this update has zero affect on that part of the system. This is supposed to be strictly performance.
Same here SF Cali
Okay so how do we know if it is safe to apply this update? I would like to fix some lag but in no way harm my chances of unlocking the bootloader.
Can someone pull the update file and examine it?
Also in SF Bay Are CA

There's no way to know until someone like Adam or Dan start looking it over. Gonna have to give them at least a day or two too get the update and dissect it.
Ultimately only Dan is gonna be able to tell us for sure, which I'm sure he will in the coming days, in the mean time just chill, the OTA isn't gonna go anywhere XD

Well, update went through. Lag seems less significant. A few hiccups here and there, but it seems to be better. Less hiccups than before, at least.
Facebook and IGN apps scroll more smoothly as well. Opening and closing is a bit snappier. Been trying to open and minimize a bunch of apps to induce a hiccup, it's not doing it. Swiftkey is also opening more smoothly (well, instantaneously). Overall seems better. I'm content.

If you were rooted before can you see if you are still rooted
It also seems that the camera "lag" is gone or is less dramatic too.

GAH, it just started updating without any conformation once I clicked "check for updates"
KEEP THAT IN MIND! simply checking for an update will download it!
EDIT: okay thank god it didn't install the update... just downloaded it.... phew...
Does anyone know which app I need to clear data on to reset the time window for the OTA checker? I checked yesterday afternoon before this update dropped and it's making me wait...

it's January

has anyone received marshmallow update,yet?
No
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk
Yes
I think the leaks stated quarter 1, so that means January, February, or march.
Yeah it's fantastic. ?
Wow, folks are still OFF work and you're hoping for a release? I hope you're being "funny".
aww. super jealous. are you all from California?
@sboygee I think only me and guaneet are from frisco
But that hold nothing for why there are "yes"...there was a leak that I was running until yesterday morning
Yeah he is joking cuz this is xda nobody has to ask a question like that since if it was out every website and thread out here would of already posted it....

Edge Panels/Feeds

Since the Samsung Galaxy App Store is horrible when it comes to finding what you are looking for I'm making this OP to discuss/share Edge panels/feeds. If you have one that you find useful, or jsut want tot alk about them feel free to post below. I would like to see what types of extra functionality we can get from the edge besides media controls and other small things (edge feed)
I'm looking to try new things ones assuming there are more than the half dozen or so on the Galaxy App Store. I would like a edge feed for Google news, or maybe Google fit of possible.
I have there already a question. I saw in some Videos about the Phone a Football App but i couldnt find one on my own. Is there something like this?

That's also a possibility. I checked the Galaxy App Store and it doesn't have the Yahoo panels, so maybe someone could pull the files for you from their phone? If you know how I can do it, but this is my first Samsung phone in a long time

What carrier? Many of the U.S. carriers delete and/or add pre-installed apps. Especially Verizon. Might want to search on Yahoo and see if you can find anything.
Got the phone this morning and here are my thoughts on the Edge...
I'm coming from an LG G3 which is the same size screen but because of the Edge the Samsung screen is definitely small but I guess it makes the phone narrower too.
Now, on to the Edge panels...
Why are there only 5 spots for contacts when you can have two columns for other things?
My feeling is the Edge panels are just a gimmick as I have been using an app called SwipePad for years and it gives me short-cuts at a swipe and very customisable too with add ons.

But there are Zips floating around here to flash to enable it.
Seriously, are you disabled that you need an assistant?
Another service that constantly spies on your microphones. Google is as *excited* as the CIA.

Some people just want to watch the world burn. Ignore them, it's not an XDA thing.
There's an app on Google Play that I've tried and it works well, must be rooted though:

Virus pop up

Has anyone ever got a pop up from Google about your phone being infected? I just got one while browsing the forum. I've only had the phone for 1 day and really only been on this website. I took a screenshot of the pop up
This is a spam popup. Your fine.
Gotcha thanks for the quick response. Ive got then on plenty of phones and always wondered if it is legit of not. Thanks
