So...I know I shouldn't believe Verizon reps when it comes down to this ...but I just got off the phone with tech support manager from Verizon trying to get a different phone for my bionic due to data issues. She told if I can hang in there for a day bc new update coming out tomorrow afternoon . I asked her I then can get into a different if it isn't and she me options of any lte device out there or 3g except phone. She told I could then switch to one if update doesn't drop.
I know our community has been given a run around when it comes to updates. Just a fyi that is all.
Oh and it is not ICS its just a update fix for transition 4g-3g and 3g-4g and other "known" problems

I love the first sentence of this post, lol.
Whatever may be, I hope the update comes. We'll see.
If it doesn't come, at least you can get a nexus

looks that way
Since it will be there official update, wonder if anything has been tweaked, changed, etc, from the leaked version that some of us have...
refresh my memory... which update broke webtop?
Does anyone know whether or not forever root will still be valid for this OTA (5.5.893)? I remember p3droid saying do not take any further moto updates as the exploits have been patched...but...
I had data drops 27 times today. I counted and kept track.
This update is long overdue.

I'm with you on that, I go most of the day without data. I have to wait till I get home to use wifi, in lucky if my feeds update. hopefully this will correct the reboots as well.
I have been on 5.6 then 5.7.893, never did the first 5.5.893 but my data drop is definitely alot less often. Maybe only 1x or 2x a week. Its been solid for the last week. Usually when the drop occurs and needs a reboot or airplane mode cycle is when it wakes from sleep.

If my memory serves me correct it was 5.5. 893. They may have made some tweeks though. Someone on the forum in a previous post got the OTA a few days ago and it was 5.5.

According to Verizon's lastest list of fixes for the new OTA, is suppose to fix the dreaded BSOD.
I have the leaked version and I still get BSOD. and yes, pocket protection is off.

Anyone else still stuck on 4.4?
I have decided not to root my phone or flash any rom that has not been directly issued to my phone by Google. I'm still too happy with my device to mess around with that.
Therefore, I decided to create a thread for the people who are still using 4.4 because they haven't got the update yet. I'm in Malta... Anyone else?
What's better than the mutual anticipation for something new, right?
Sidenote: will the update fix Google Now not working on some devices?

I think you should at least consider rooting, the benefits of that are countless. I just re-wiped my phone to stock+root so I can just sideload the 4.4.2 update.
Why not sideload it?

Because it hasn't rolled out to everyone yet. Give it time if you don't want to sideload it.
I am on 4.4 and I could have done sideloading, but I don't care much. Been doing enough nightlies with i777 (ATT SGS2) until last month when it died. I like the pure G experience more than I thought (I thought I would go for CM11 immediately after I get N5 then Omni) and I see not much issue with 4.4. I don't use my phone to take a pic much - I have Fuji XE-1 and Canon 5D for that.
I will get it when I get it. Who knows.. Google might have really started nightlies and 4.4.3 is around the corner.
Edit: Well, it looks like they have decided to give it to me just now.
I just got my 4.4.2 ota update yesterday. Chose not to sideload like I did for the 4.4.1 update. My N4 got the ota update on Mon night (it's stock, not rooted). To some degree, it's all just a crap shoot.

There are just different roll-out schedules. Let me put it this way, I was on custom recovery and rooted, and saw I had 4.4.2 update (was on 4.4). So not wanting to mess anything up I went complete stock, though when I rebooted I saw I no longer had it regardless of pressing the update button a million times. So I just ended up side loading it. The reason why it probably was not there, is probably this:
Why is clearing Google Services Framework data is a bad idea?:
There is a myth that has been around for a few years that clearing data in Google Services Framework will get you the OTA faster. Android Engineer Dan Morrill has taken to reddit to explain why NOT to do this and why the method I've described in this thread is the best way to get your update quickly.
Quote:
Doing this changes the primary ID by which Google knows your device. As far as the servers are concerned, the device was basically factory reset. There are many downstream effects of this, but a big one is that this invalidates the tokens used by any app that uses GCM (which is nearly all the Google apps, and a ton of third-party apps.)
How apps react to GCM IDs changing varies by app. With Play Store you have to log out and log back in, I think Gmail usually handles it transparently eventually but won't get new mail notifications for a while, etc. Some apps you may have to clear data on to recover. All apps will simply stop getting GCM push-messages, until they get a new GCM ID; some do this frequently, others rarely, and some apps use the GCM ID as an ID on their own servers (as it is opaque and basically random), so other things besides push messages may not work.
Nothing bursts into flames, but it makes a ton of nuisances on the device, including some that can look pretty mysterious. Your mileage will vary depending on what apps you use.
All of this can be avoided by just doing an 'adb sideload' if you are impatient. -Dan Morrill

I am assuming it was no longer valid for me because my ID changed when I wiped my phone. So with that being said, your choices are to either wait, or side load.
4.4 as well ..I'll get the update eventually. No rush here.

From the sheer number of posts showing problems with sideloading, I recommend waiting for the OTA update. Why risk so many issues and buggy software just to get an update a few days earlier?

common miss-conception.
sideload is just a different channel to put the damn OTA zip on your phone. there is no higher / lower rate of issues than getting the actual OTA, you will be in the same boat.
Got tired of waiting in Dallas yesterday. I know...patience is a virtue but no a strong point of mine. Wanted to check the camera out so I side loaded both updates early last night.
My N5 has been working like a champ. Camera and speaker are definitely improved!

There are no problems with sideloading if one hasn't messed with their phone. Issues arise when one tries to sideload the OTA and they have modified files in /system.
I was using 4.4 ( unrooted ) totally original system, and got 4.2.2 update a few hours ago. I'm in Hamilton ON, Canada.
Anyone else receive this OTA this morning? I didn't see, or look for, a detailed change log before proceeding with the OTA push. Phone rebooted and is optimizing apps right now. I'll provide further details once it finishes.
I know, for sure, that I checked for new software within the past week or so and there was nothing available. I've been up to date with OTA upgrades since getting this phone on day one of its release.
Anyone know anything about this upgrade?

thanks for the heads up. Downloading now.
I installed it and really don't notice much of a difference. I guess this means no M for another 2 months at this point.

Probably just updating security mostly since we were a few months behind. Could also be preparing our phones to take take 6.0 update since there's usually a small update before a big one. Wouldn't hold my breath on it though

Don't try to apply this update if you've applied one of the leaked insecure boot images (for getting a root prompt). There's a check of the boot image built into the updater and if you attempt installation it will wipe your phone back to stock.
D**k move Samsung, d***k move.
I was a fool to initially think that the update juuuuuust might be Marshmallow. And then I thought, "I have AT&T. They would've made the announcement before just releasing the OTA. Hell, they would've made a big deal out of it, even; as if they're doing us a favor. " And so, I took a Valium and went to sleep.
This update seems to break mms for many of the users myself included verified with AT&T that is indeed related to it Samsung is on process of updating. Anyway if you happen to get it just boot your phone to safe mode and then use mms there and restart back to normal, it works after . And hopefully marshmallow will be soon

I'm still getting MMS texts, what was broken?
So far I've noticed my battery life is better than it was before, on the OJ7 update i had a very odd drain as well as issues with my bluetooth and wifi that were only fixed with a reboot......so far knock on wood they seem to be resolved but it should take a few more days to fully confirm. I did also try Enhanced LTE again and just as before I had a nice drain on my battery so they still don't have that working great yet (my area has weak LTE and switches between LTE and 4G on a normal basis).

New "bug?" with update. Now, every time I reboot my phone if I go into settings I get this "suggestion" regarding a non-removable battery. I can dismiss it, but it comes back again when i reboot. Anyone else getting this?

yeah. ive also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver for the g6 and uninstalling and reinstalling lg bridge. i reached out to lg support and they told me lg bridge is only for backing up my phone
Finally got the 11e update last night via OTA. Finally!
It doesn't seem much different, maybe smoother. But this is the first time I updated my G6 since I'd bought it. So, maybe it's just better now.
Still don't fully understand why they labeled it as 11 though. Bummer its still 7.0 and not 7.1.x. 7.1.2 would be good on the g6. But regardless I'm getting similar battery life on my G6 and V30.

I can't get the update either, even after several reboots. My phone keeps stating it is up to date.
I have a different problem with LG Bridge. When LG Bridge gets to the part where it starts downloading the update, I get a message stating there's a server error and to try again. It doesn't get past 0%. I've been getting this message for the past 4 days.

For what its worth, a tmo rep said that the update should be available for everyone by the 17th at the latest.
So is anybody running this without issue via OTA? I got the notification this morning. Wondering if this will fix any of the small issues I have or break more stuff.
i havent seen that this breaks anything. but i finally got the ota notification.

I haven't found any issues so far. I think its just minor bug fixes, addition of face unlock from V30, & Security Patch for November.
Haven't tried fastboot yet, i doubt it'll even work. But fingers crossed. Luckily my g6 is paid off and SIM unlocked, not that it matters..
What's up everybody? I don't usually post news topics but I feel like this was worth a change. Now I know it's been floating around that are AT&T branded Note 9's are getting the July security update finally. With that update came night mode within our cameras, also a QR scanner tile in the pull down menu.
I don't really know how many of you if any use the Android messages app or would like to use Google's own default text messaging app instead of Samsung's. But I'm just putting the information out there that we finally have chat features in that app now. So I'm assuming AT&T must have also pushed out the RCS universal profile to our phones with that July security update as well. I'm hoping that this post will help someone out because I know personally I've been waiting a very long time to be able to move away from Samsung's text messaging app.
Google is rolling it out to everyone. It is still not available for me after the update.
