How come I haven't gotten anything past the ATID update from the beginning of the month?
Also, has that battery improvement update that spread around Europe gotten over here yet?
Samsung usually only does one update a month. Should get a new one in a few days. The battery life update was for the Exynos variants of the phone, not the US Snapdragon models.

I read somewhere saying that Samsung is rolling out Lollipop to all LTE models in the USA. My question is, will this update roll out work like it does for phones....meaning will this update have to go to the carrier first and then to the users? I hate to lose root, but I'm really hoping the update will improve performance. I bought the note pro the day it hit the stores and I am in bad need of better performance.
Please chime in on what you know about this update.
Thanks in advance.

I guess I'm the only one who has an AT&T LTE version of the note pro. I guess the MOD can go ahead and remove this post being that it appears to be a space waster.
Thanks
You're not the only one with the device. Other than iPhones, I believe AT&T always gets the updates from the manufacturers and then adds their bloat before releasing via OTA.
I've got one and have been waiting too, don't know what's going to happen to root. Adding more apps into multi screen is really all i need root for anymore. I used to use it for controllers for games, but haven't used that in awhile.
It sucks being an AT&T kid huh? boooo, we get no love, lol Damn you AT&T!!!!!!
AT&T fail - January 2016 and still no update
If AT&T can't update in a timely manor, they need to stop selling devices.
I'm never buying from AT&T again.
Once Google fiber rolls to Atlanta, I'll be 100% free from the clutches of AT&T.
If they are not selling to you, they are selling you.
I bet the NSA is AT&Ts only repeat customer.
AT&T pushed the Lollipop update quite awhile ago.
Hi - several months ago I read a lot about choosing between Exynos (intnl through Best Buy) and Snapdragon/AT&T.
It seemed there were a few tradeoffs to consider.
First and foremost people said the Exynos performance and battery life were better, but then once the Exynos phones received a software update around May they started exhibiting the battery drain issue that seemed to be plaguing Snapdragon phones. So much so that numerous people were recommending flashing back to a previous update version to avoid the battery drain bug. Reading through the forums I havent been able to figure out whether these problems have been sorted out and corrected on either phone?
I also recall that the international version did not have ability to use Samsung Pay in the US? I cant understand based on the threads I have read whether this is now in fact possible?
I Have also read varying things on the data performance on AT&T networks of the international version. It seems people have concluded that certain functions may not work but that generally 4G LTE speeds and network reception should be the same.
Is this a good summary? I would love any thoughts or advice on deciding between these two models.
Thanks.
Exynos International all the way, faster phone, unlockable bootloader with a couple of settings changes, more development support
I own that phone and there is no battery drain running the latest firmware
Thanks for the quick feedback. Do you run that phone on AT&T with no issues?
Is Samsung Pay usable yet on that phone?
I was in the same position and went with the AT&T version. International version (G930F/G930FD) does not have full band support for AT&T (no 29 or 30), no Samsung Pay, and no Wifi Calling/VoLTE.
I had an international S6 and would lose connection at times. The lack of Samsung Pay was also annoying. The lack of bloatware was nice but you can uninstall/disable most of them.

No, I'm in the UK, sorry didn't realise you wanted to use it on AT&T, just wondering between the two different models
If you can get full support for AT&T's services, the Exynos would be the best option
2 Phones purchased same time from same place, one is black and the other is grey. S8+
They are both on same network on same plan.
How come 1 phone can receive a newer software update and the other one is unable to find a newer one?
They release updates in stages to reduce the burden on tech support, load on the update servers, and for testing purposes. One phone got lucky, the other will follow.
Rogers and Telus initially scheduled the 8th for FOTA release. Still no sign of update while the rest of the world seemingly is getting rolled out.

Rest of the world and Exynos getting it first then North America after. I'm in the U.S. with unlocked and haven't gotten it yet either. Guess we'll get it when we get it.
This is good, korea update fix gos trash
No update yet on Rogers canada. I think Samsung is holding on to the patch to include GOS fix in it. Its generating bad PR for the company.
Is Samsung doing a late fix on this gaming performance controversy, maybe??
Update is out. Clocks in at over 2GB, includes OneUI 5.1 and February Security update. Just installed, will see how it goes!
Just got it as well.
downloading now
No noticeable difference from the previous UI.
almost the same build number as the TMB one I flashed about a week ago on my U1. The differences are so minimal it should have just been a standard sec update vs an incremental update
Still not showing up on my s22 ultra locked to att network...got it for my unlocked z fold 4 2 days ago though....imma keep checking but idk of i will get it on this device because the line is not active. Will I still get update? And if not can I use smart switch on windows to update?
So far not much difference performance wise or other after a day of use.
