Lollipop is out for AT&T Note 4, ours next? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

Lollipop is out for AT&T Note 4. Ours next?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-att/general/lollipop-appears-to-att-note-4-t3063167

I would guess so. When the Note 4 update was announced I figured that the S5 would be around the time they were done with that roll-out, but a couple hours later the Note 3 update was announced, so now I don't know. The positive with how long it's taken is that it's starting 5.0.1 for the Note 4, so hopefully the S5 will also get 5.0.1 (or higher).

Potential Note 3 Purchase

My contract will be coming up for renewal in June. I currently have a Galaxy S4 and I have to say that it has absolutely been my favorite phone so far. I thankfully got it rooted before safestrap came on the scene so I honestly haven't had to work with that. I currently have Goldfinger ROM on it which is a TouchWiz ROM which I really enjoy TW.
I was wanting to get a Note 4 just because I figured if I'm going to renew my contract with AT&T, then I want to be able to get the lastest-greatest device, however, the deal breaker is there currently doesn't look like there is a way to root the Note 4 and I have several apps that require root access.
Is there anyone else that has had the S4 and has upgraded to the Note 3? Any regrets?
My next course of action is to check the development section to see if there is a TW ROM that keeps the Note 3 as close to stock as possible but just removes all the AT&T bloatware.
Thanks in advance for any/all responses!

I got Note 3, Note 4 and samsung galaxy S5. From my experience : i love note 4 even if there is no root yet ( i hope in near future) . If you fan of TW i will go note 4 , but if you want to flash using safestreap you can get galaxy S5 and finally if you want to flash and have some futures as note 4 i will go with note 3 or wait and see is root will brake for Note 4. I love all phones barely use note 3 but on bone stock with turn off (disable) of some apps (bloatware) i'm happy with S5 and Note 4.

So we'll get it in 2017 most likely.
Id say more like 2020
Check sammobile last firmware for n910c was 01 of August and for n910f some day in July.
So guess when
Haha so ironic. Maybe we will got it nearly 2020.
I'd say 2220. And it'll be buggy and kill our batteries.

M? what about 5.1.1? Samsung, I hate you.
M will come in the beginning of 2016 in a version so bad that it will make your phone useless to celebrate the release of the S7.
Yes I'm a seer lol.
When?We wait Lollipop 5.1.1 and who know when we get,so M come but we dont be live or our note 4.
Android Lollipop was also confirmed to the note 2. xD
What I find very instructive is that GS5 isn't in the list. It will not even have 18 months of updates.
IMHO, if Samsung don't want us to buy their devices, they can just tell us. It's far more simple that showing us at every occasion that they don't care about their customers.
Android 6.0? I'm still waiting for damn 5.1.1.
I think Samasung talk some sh ite
Its gonna be a while before Huwaeis Nexus 6 or Note 6 (hopefully with microsd and IR, replacable battery comes out). So Note 4 with Android M would be sweet. Hopefully it will release by new year!

I'll believe it when I see it. Samsung can't even clean up their act when it comes to Lollipop.
I think it's going to be in 2020 when note 10 comes out

Incredible to me how much time and emotion is spent feeding the rumor mill.
Keep dreaming, this is freaking unbelievable QUALCOMM's Note 4 already in 5.1.1 and Exynos which is the international Unlocked, nothing, Note 4 will never see android M other than ported rom, or CM

Can't say that I'm surprised. But our phone would have benefited from a better, more system wide multi window.

I doubt it because in 2017, that's beyond's note 4's 2 year support. 2016 is the end. and also, if you look at the Note 3, it got its last update in dec. 2015 and it is still 5.0. That was "27" months of support for the Note3.
Using the note 3 as the base, if we were to get android 7, we would have to get it by dec. 2016.

Yea your right. But that is assuming Samsung release Android 7 "on time". Looking back at Android 6, it came out of Google on October 2016. The first note 4s got Marshmellow around June 2016, 8 months after Google released it. But this is still within note 4's 2 year period (note 4 came oUT on Oct. 2014).
Since android 7 was released in Aug 2016, this means that Samsung has around 4 months to release Android 7 to us before 2016 is over. Looking at the past examples, now do you see why I doubt we will get it? Of course this is all my speculation and I'll happily be wrong if do end up getting it.
Samsung mostly gives 2 major system updates to any flagship phone.
Since gingerbread i have been observing that every two version of android looks similar .
Excluding honeycomb cause it was only for tabs.
That also explains why every two versions of touchwiz look similar.
Gingerbread and ICS had many similarities, jelly bean and kitkat had similarities and also lollipop and marshmallow.
This is why the odd galaxy notes(1,3,5) have always been lucky .
There last update isn't similar to previous one , infact there is a major change in terms of UI and features.
For eg. Note 1's last update was jellybean , which was completely different than ICS .
Same for note 3 , whose last update was lollipop , a major upgrade over kitkat .
But unfortunately the even notes have been unlucky.
The note 2's last update was kitkat , which wasn't a big upgrade over jellybean , the UI was almost identical.
And as for the note 4 ,its last update is marshmallow , which samsung decided not to modify for note 4 and hence looks similar to lollipop.

Note 5 - Is the Note 5 still being produced by Samsung post the Note 7 launch?

Has the Note 5 been discontinued?
In South Africa it seems that stock is running low? GSMarena says "Status = available". My Note 4 got stolen and I don't know whether to wait and hope that Samsung will do the sensible thing and produce the Note 5 in a 128gb version or to go out and reluctantly buy the Note 5 64gb.
Micro sd slot is non-negotionable but now I am stuck.
Love the Note functionality, also have a Note 8 and 12.2.
Anyone with some inside knowledge what Samsung's plans are with the Note range?
phones are discontinued a few months after launch to retool machines to build the new phones so yeah, the note 5 stoped production a long long time ago
Thanks Cachanilla86,
So guess, I should jump and get one or risk not getting a new Samsung Note phone again - thanks

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 rom for Note 3

Now that the much anticipated Samsung device was launched and because we've had in the past Note 3 to Note 5 and Note 3 to Note 7 ported roms, will this Note 3 to Note 8 be possible? I surely hope so bc this would bring a sense of fresh air into my Note 7 AHEM Note 3 xD

Maybe better to ask this in the Galaxy Note 3 forum Dev's here won't be porting it to a Note 3.
But an answer to your question, Yes it sure will be possible. providing the Note 3 dev's have not left you to buy the Note 8
I'm sure someone will get to work on it as soon as the system dump is available shortly after release day.

i just waiting just like you for that new.rom
Actually, believe it or not I'm missing Action memo and personally liked old S-note much better. And frankly I don't see much software difference between N7 and N8, so you may be little disappointed.
two simple ways to do this.
1. Download the rom from: www.note8roms/downloads/note3/bootloaderunlocker/simfreeunlocktool
2. Go buy a Note 8
Edit: I just realized you dont need step 1 after all
