Yes, the original promise of 90 days or less it's very impressive...until you actually have to wait for it. Lol.

Exactly, lol. Seems like 90 days ago L was announced and now we wait more. I have a feeling it won't be that long though, technically HTC has had L for some time for the nexus 9, so hopefully they have a head start.

Very true... Plus year or so ago Google noted it was giving manufacturers the code preview way early to help transitions and one of those was HTC.... Doubt it takes 90days....
Only way I can see it taking that long is if HTC needs/wants to change/add something decent in size/structure...

I am very excited for this update! But I agree with people above, I am sure we will have it before the 90 days

Yeah, but they will formally say 90 days once Google releases just to CYA....we're suppose to get 4.4.4 also, so I would think that update will be soon

Never, most likely.
So, you'll have to be satisfied with
Lollipop I guess .

Damn for real?? The rumors about them using the same bootloader were false?
edit: lost all hope after more research lol

I think Lollipop looks like Sense Six!

so how soon till we get some 5.0 love

with my twitter feed blowing up with 5.0 this 5.0 that im kinda wondering when we will get some 5.0 release

Rumors are sometime in December.

Doubt if I'll accept the update.

This is the first android device i bought new. My rooted s4 was used. I got sick of all the glitchyness with the rooted phone. My note 4 is completely stock and I couldnt be happier with how silky smooth touchwiz is. Im not even sure im interested in uograding to lollipop.

That's fine but that's not what's being asked lol

Woa bro, asking for ETA is so rude.
I kid, hopefully soon. I like the material design and animations. I have 5.0 on my Nexus 5 and it's silky smooth.

yea have it on my N5 and N7

I am planning on buying a moto x just to experience the lollipop goodness lol

Sorry, just wanted to add my .02. I dont think anyone on this forum can accurately answer the op's question.

I'm running Firekat on my Note and it's simply amazing. I am interested in Lollipop but to be honest, I am extremely happy with how my phone is running now.
To answer the OP, I read somewhere that the update would hit around February.

I work for tmobile and the Samsung rep told me within 90 days ..idk if that helps but he's always given me accurate info

I don't know guys......5.0 could be a silent Ebola for our N4.
Google's been doing some weird things lately. Lock down stuff weird. This is the first time I'm like...eehhh.....what is to come?
Having a new design is one thing, but....getting a shot where you have no idea what's in it is pretty eerie.

Something on a smaller scale, but just as frustrating back in the day was the whole 4.4 thing where you couldn't go back to 4.3 ... remember that?

5.0 will be the death of Knox since it's built in to 5.0

My uncle works as an assistant to Samsung Mobile, development in the united States. He said last Friday during lunch he and a colleague in software said they have a final build, giving to carriers next week, so before January 2015 it should be on all four major carriers

Stop trolling. There is no Lollipop for the Note 4 yet. Samsung's been hinting at mid-December at the earliest.

AT&T started rolling out 5.0.1 this morning to Note 4.

Just sent a tweet to Rogers telling them AT&T rolled it out now and asking how long it will take for us to get it. I'm not holding out much hope for a reply.

They will just point you here.

http://communityforums.rogers.com/html/assets/OSUpgrade.html
And tell you it's TBD. My old co-worker who now works at Rogers looked into it and apparently Samsung isn't releasing that information. As he said it's policy it classify devices that don't get support as TBD as to not piss off customers. Aka it's a coin toss if they are going to release it.
AT&T isn't the same as our devices. The closest we can get is T-Mobile. If and when TMO gets the update we won't be far behind. At least we shouldn't.

Yeah, I know of that link and they have pointed me there before. I've had a dialog going with them actually. I would like to rattle their cages "in public" as much as possible and Twitter is a good way to do that. I really was surprised to just get the Note 4 about 2 weeks ago, thinking it was the current flagship phone and then find out they have no idea when they are going to release Lollipop on it. Just bizarre.
A coin toss? How can a phone that hasn't been out for even 5 months yet not get Lollipop?

I was referring to the 5.0.1 update. It's very possible they will just lazily skip it and go for 5.1
If thats the case we most likely won't see a LP update this year. Remember Samsung had the oportunity to start LP in June and it has taken them 9 months just to get to this point. Considering no Canadian Carriers have been informed of the update even arriving, meaning they have not tested them and that in turn could create another month or two of testing. It's also been disclosed that Samsung has no plans on working on 5.1 at the moment. Let's assume that they wait to give us 5.1 instead of pushing 5.0.1 out. Since they have not even started 5.1 we can assume they might start in two months (Highly doubt it would be that quick). Then if we take the first time frame we add another 9 months plus the fact they wait a month after they build (check the build logs) we are at a total time frame of 12 months out for a single update. Skipping 5.0.1 would mean a total of 21 months of development time before the first actual LP update.
Of course remember this is all assumptions and theory based on what we have seen so far and I could be totally off. At least I hope I am.

Just the usual AT&T crap... Google Service needs to be updated after Lollipop installs, GS took multiple attempts to finally install, otherwise you keep getting a notice that the update is required.. Not sure if was just me but I had to reboot a few times to finally get the Install option to pop up..
So far I'm liking Lollipop, Visually much more appealing..

Android 5.1.1 OTA being rolled out on T-Mobile for the S6 edge!

RELEVANT TO US BECAUSE WHEN WE GET THE UPDATE, IT LOCKS THE BOOTLOADER.
IF THEY LOCK IT FOR THE S6 EDGE, THEY'LL LOCK IT FOR THE S6!
DO NOT TAKE THE OTA IF YOU DON'T WANT A LOCKED BOOTLOADER.
Unassuming Galaxy S6 edge users are in for a surprise, as T-Mobile appears to be rolling out a freshly cooked OTA based on Android version 5.1.1 Lollipop for the device. The catch, however, it is so far reported only on the T-Mobile network.
XDA forums user Sunderwear mentioned about the OTA a couple of hours back (at the time of writing this story). Urged by other users of the device, the poster also uploaded a video of his Galaxy S6 edge running the latest firmware. The video can be found at the end of this article.
As noted from the narration, the update also locks the bootloader on the device.
So, how many of you have already received the update? What do you think of it?
Source: http://www.sammobile.com/2015/04/29/android-5-1-1-ota-being-rolled-out-on-t-mobile-for-the-s6-edge/
Looks like someone in the Edge forum was able to downgrade the bootloader and flash TWRP but still, tread carefully.

ok I downgraded the Bootloader ONLY and I was able to flash TWRP...dumping a system.img copy..

Coming from the ROM Flashing mecca of HTC and finding a place in Samsung is.. weird to say the least. I find that there are only minor things I need that require root but I no-longer need the overhaul that I needed with HTC. It's too weird.

If/when anyone gets this update try to grab the update before taking it. Also, the bootloader Doesn't actually get locked.

BOOM. Bootloader news is great news

Isn't it odd that just one guy has gotten the update? T-mobile has sold hundreds of thousands of these units and only one guy got an OTA?
I'll believe it when I see it.

Is it possible to do the update if we are rooted? And I mean UPDATE not flash the entire new release.

This type of thing might happen with a lot of updates. You need to remember the rooting/moding community is very small compared to the people who just use their phone as is. So if anything I think its weird that someone in this community got the update.

Hey I hope it's true, I for one hope it fixes the memory management and battery issues.
According to this guy, it looks like the XDA member was part of a "Soak Test", or he is a guinea pig. Hopefully it doesn't take months to test it.

Damn I wish this would leak for AT&T. 5.0.1 TW has a bigger memory leak than stock 5.0.1 on my Nexus. This needs to be rolled out ASAP, but I know it won't.
