Forget us, we are old story. Cant wait to see s6/edge owners start crying about 5.1....
Ps. Prediction, Galaxy S ii gets 5.1 before us.

Would be nice to get v5.0 in the first place.

Maybe Samsung has been waiting for LP 5.1 to update all Note 4 variants. Germany got LP 5.0.1, I have it.

You wait for Samsung! Samsung waits for no-one! Samsung is a badass - they do as they please!

Probably correct.

The note 4 reminds me of note 1 in terms of updates. Few and far between. We had to rely of developers to do the work of Samsung.
Thanks developers!

Hi, Vodafone Italy announced that the update to Lollipop has been postponed to the end of March , officially announced " solution to the problem by introducing silent ring settings (a problem that has created many hardships on Open Market ) " .
Samsung Norway announced that it had stopped the updates to lollipop s4 - s5 for crash heading and battery drain . At this point , I think , that the official update will arrive in April , where as Samsung Germany has withdrawn this update from their servers . Greetings to all .

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.

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 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.

So you are installing custom roms and stuff like that? what if something goes wrong, the captivate wont boot normaly and the only way to revive it is to go into recovery mode?

The camera on the nexus 6 is garbage compared to the s6. Other than that I loved the nexus.... but the camera is a deal breaker. Plus water resistance is nice too.

It has been good for you yet. Don't try to update to OF3 or OF4. That's suck.
Keep you current version until we can root or get Android 5.1.1 or M. Because 5.0.2 has a big bug : pretty lags in used.
But the S6A gets lag too much. It can be fixed by disable some apps and better battery : All ATT apps, samsung push,, vv..
use this app and you can disable them.

Some developers used the older version to root it inside.
If the ATT improve security of S6A, it means 90% the OF4 or more will not get root .
I was bad when I updated to OF3, the battery drain to much.
Just keep the OE9 if you are in

Battery drain on the latest firmware is not an issue at all. Actually I'm seeing better battery after installing it last night
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk
Like other people who unlocked the S6 to use in their home network, I would not be seeing this update, even though it is a good sign that AT&T is rolling out the Stagefright update
At the very least, I hope we get the stock rom image released eventually....
Kind of off topic, but using package disabler and selecting "disable all bloatware" has pretty much eliminated all lag for me.

The Build Quality and the processor are garbage too compared to the S6, I had a Nexus 6 and returned it.

Samsung may be testing Nougat on the Note 4

According to this website, Samsung may be actually testing its own Android software, based on Nougat 7.1.1 for the Note 4, the Snapdragon variant of the device is listed on GFXBench.
Here are more details: http://www.nashvillechatterclass.co...-7-1-1-nougat-gfxbench-listing-reveals/28432/
it says it has only FHD video recording and no heart sensor .. it might be a different device ..

Why would Samsung update the OS on a phone over two years old, potentially stopping people from upgrading to an newer device?
Don't get me wrong I think the Note4 is still a freaking amazing phone. I just don't want to create some sort of false hope when to me I don't see any real benefit Samsung has in updating this wonderful phone.
Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk
I think it's a custom ROM, I hope I'm wrong.
Sorry to be that guy but a Samsung employee just confirmed to me through live chat the the last update the note 4 is getting is marshmallow.

If you visit the GFXBench result page you could see that the test firmware implements newer Graphics driver (OpenGL ES 3.2 vs OpenGL ES 3.1 on MM firmware) so there is hope
