ANDROID Lollipop for GALAXY S5 general discussion (news&leaks&problems&expectations)
The Samsung Galaxy S5 may join the LG G3 in getting updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop before the end of this year. Earlier today, an LG rep apparently said as much regarding his company's current flagship smartphone.
Now though it looks like LG's arch-rival from its home country of South Korea doesn't want to be left behind. According to a new rumor, Samsung will start rolling out the Android 5.0 update for the Galaxy S5 sometime in December.
That's when the deployment will commence, though as usual it will take a few weeks for all regional versions of the S5 to get the new bits. Still, given that Google has yet to release a final variant of Lollipop, this would be a very fast update timeline for both the G3 and the S5, and the new software would come much sooner than for past flagships getting Android version bumps.
A test build of Lollipop for the Galaxy S5 got previewed a few weeks back, and since Samsung was clearly already working on the update at that time, the rumored release time frame may just pan out. We'll have to wait and see.

According to the news on SamMobile, S5 mini will receive Android 5 before July (within only 13 days).
And the firmware for s5 mini shows that majority of s5 mini is currently having PDA of G800FXXU1ANL1, to me, this means all S5 mini are now ready to be updated to Android 5.

Well, for the record, it is now 30th of July. My other Samsung A3 at home has already got Lollipop update one week ago. What the hack is Samsung thinking?
Samsung releases too much devices. There are the large amount of low-end devices, the Note family and the S, A, J, O series. Samsung tries to keep up the support of this overwhelming bunch of smartphones, but that's a very difficult task. So, unfortunately this kind of chaos is "normal"...
...Anyway, we'll have to be patient and wait for an official announcement or the OTA update.
I will claim that the version of Android a phone was released with is the best for the phone. Samsung started working towards the release of the S6, and the S5 was old news.
Excuse my English.
What?
lolopinions
Let's wrap this up then. :good:
Hi all,
Will Samsung ever release the most new updated Touchwiz UI called Samsung Experience 8.5 or 8.1 for our Note 5? Whats your opinion? If any news related to this, please post here....
It won't happen, at least the Note5 is already dead. Maybe the S7 could get it but our Note5 is already 2 years old, Planned Obsolescence means that if we want the new UI: Buy a new phone or Modify it.
it never will be
Nice
Thanks
For T-mobile Samsung Note 5 ...Android oero is comfirmed

Hello fellows!
I just wanted to create a thread like last year when we all waited impatiently for the beta.
So let's discuss right here when you think the S9 will get the beta and lets keep us always up to date right here!
Cheers!

Right now this is being tested on the DBT server for the S9+.
In the last couple of days there are frequently new Android 10 builds showing up. Same goes for the Korean model and the US unlocked model.
Plans are which I have from an insider source at Samsung that they are planning on releasing the stable version for the S9 in January 2020 which would be really fast for Samsung.
For the S10 and Note 10 series they want to rel EW as it in December.
My guess is we will see the S9 getting the beta around November maybe early November or so.
It's not officially stated if the S9 and S9+ or Note 9 will get a Beta program though. Would make sense as last year the S8 and Note 8 got in and even some A series phones. Maybe Samsung Discovered through last year thanks to good interest and input that with more beta programs for more devices they can fix bugs faster and release the sable version quicker.
First of all, this is not a development thread so it should NOT be in the development section.
Second, there's already a discussion thread on this topic here:
