This morning my S5 auto updated itself without ANY of my intervention or approval. And by the time I realized it, it had already rebooted itself into recovery and was flashing itself. For those of us, like myself, who are pushing off the updates in hopes that an exploit will be found, this is a massive problem. I wiped it clean and returned it today for a full refund, as I bought it full price off-contract. I will be getting the Tmobile S5 and sim unlocking it. Screw you, AT&T.

Not that it's right, but you have to say fairly that you had likely declined the Auto-Update a few times of which each instance stays it for 4hrs(I'm sure it doesn't directly say it will do that).
I have been rigorously going into App Manager and stopping AT&T Auto-OTA update after any reboot. If you want to stop it from happening at night time then put the phone in U. Power Saving mode and it won't.
If any users have declined the Auto-Update it says on the AT&T site that after several denials and 4hr stays that it will reboot and auto update so your only course of action is what I'm submitting here. My solution so far has been to stop the AT&T Auto-Ota service that doesn't seem to auto wake itself other than on reboot and recently adding U. Power Saving Mode at night when I can't be attending.

This is weird. I did not even get notification about update. I check it today and told me my software is up to date please check in 24 hours..My first reaction was to check if i get update with out notification, but no. I'm still on NCE firmware.
There is an update on the AT&T model?

I accidentally hit the update button after it asked me 9432590 times to update, so I immediately pulled the battery out (one of the nice features of having a samsung phone) after it started to reboot. I put in back in, fired it up and got a message saying "The update process was interrupted and was unsuccessful" or something like that. I haven't been bothered by it since
I wouldn't recommend anyone trying this as it seems very likely that a chance of bricking your phone will result, but if you want to risk it, do it.
Once the update appears you're out of luck. I postponed it several times and woke up to the update already applied. In a few weeks I'm going to tell at&t to go to hell and switch over to TMO.

This is nothing new. It's been happening with the S4s for over a year now. Unfortunately root is needed to freeze the apps responsible for the updates. Turning off Wifi, while not using the phone, can help, but until root is achieved it's going to happen.
Depending how vigilant, U. Power Saving mode is the best non-root way to ward it off.

Me either, my only nag is the security policies and i just swipe it away and keep killing the AT&T OTA update process anytime i see it restart after a reboot. I only suggest U. Power Saving because it turns off all the radios etc while sleeping so 0% chance of a snake in the grass crawling in while you slumber.
Half of me is a little mad at myself for underestimating how much I'd miss root, I sold a perfectly good Loki compatible GS4 for this thing. The other half of me realizes this phone is great because it's locked down and i can configure it to 90% of what i want and still quite enjoy it. Coming to terms that the GS4 owners after Loki had to suffer this and are STILL to this day and that may be our inevitable situation.
It's funny how normal users are always waiting for the carrier updates and yet we're here hating on them and trying to find a way stop stop the updates. There are so many customers that ask me about the software updates on a daily basis.

I do know this , somehow my SE security was updated, then I choose to take the OTA, I was messing around with some root methods that didn't work(yet), but I did a factory reset and I was still on the new 2AND3 firmware but my SE update was not present anymore. It was the original out of box SE. Just an FYI

Well this is new to a lot including myself who never had the S4 and is coming straight from the S3. Not to mention the S3 bootloader wasnt locked. I had WiFi turned off and never even configured it since I got it. I am now back on my S3 until i can get to a T-Mobile store.

Yea, it really looks like the Tmobile phone is the only way to go for now.
Learning the hard way with my S4 when the auto update appeared yesterday I declined it all day. I woke up this morning to find that the update applied itself in my sleep at 130am. I can't believe this crap.

AT&T Auto OTA Update
What's even more ridiculous is that this OTA update was simply to add two additional bloatware apps, Lookout Security and Yellow Pages, which the mothership had agreed to provide, but failed to include in the release...sigh...
Will likely wait it out another month or two, but will seriously be looking at the T-Mobile or other rootable alternative!
Just got my galaxy gear 2nd hand (ebay)
after playing around with it I have noticed there is no sound. camera, notifications or ringtones.
I have checked that it is not on vibrate and volume is turned up.
v 1.7
don't have charger or manual.
is this a software issue or do I have to return it?
Thanks
Try a full reset of gear in menu and start from scratch.

You should get a charger.
You will need it soon as the battery won't last too long.
Plus, you may need to flash a stock ROM back to the Gear and you will need the charger to connect the watch to your PC.
hi Ian I've tried that a couple of times with no joy.
rich I got it cheap as it didn't have a charger. I have ordered one but it hasn't arrived yet.

I plugged my edge into my laptop for the first time today, right away there was a popup stating that there was a update available for my phone. It updated and now my screen rotation works.
So, i guess it was a software issue and not a hardware issue like everyone assumed?
Just thought i'd share for anyone else with their screen not rotating.
How big was the file and what's your build number now?

I honestly don't know how large the file was, it just started downloading as soon as i plugged it in. Download only took about a minuet. Build number - LRX22G.G925VVRU1AOC3
BTW, I rooted with Pinngpong before the update and i'm still rooted, so this doesn't remove root.

The fix is making the phone use the gyroscope for screen rotation. If you have a way to check (very difficult 0n Verizon) I bet your accelerometer is still fried. I read on another forum that those who received the "fix" and were able to check their accelerometer found that it was still locked. Si it could be that the hardware is still at fault. ?????

Thankfully within the 14 day return period, I am getting a brand new 128gb model. I'll use an old charger until I see evidence that the fast charger is not the cause. Possibly a combination of that with the kernel allowing the phone to get too hot. I'd like to hear from anyone who's screen rotation works if they use the fast charger that came with the phone or not.

My screen rotation works just fine and I've been using the fast charger since unboxing (the day it came out). 64gb black if that matters to you.
I actually wasn't even aware there was an issue with the device outside of poor memory management. Maybe I'll switch an an older charger for now.
Also, be careful taking updates ... it's possible they've fixed the vulnerability that allowed us to get root way before any of us truly expected it.

My wife and I have been having issues with group texting since we got these phones. What usually happens is she'll receive a MMS and it won't download. I'm coming from a Nexus 6 and she from an HTC One M8, but for some reason it's much worse on her phone than it is on mine. We activated the SIM card that came with the phone. We've tried all the obvious things: resetting APNs, clearing data on the messaging app, using a different app, trying with VoLTE on and off (which I heard worked with the Z3). There's been an open ticket with T-Mobile for two weeks which hasn't really gone anywhere. It seems to happen no matter who the group text originates from. We have both iPhones and Androids in the chat.

I was having the same issues with group MMS on my G4. Girlfriend has a G4 as well and the same issues. I absolutely loved my G3 but the G4 has been one disappointment after another. I went and bought another S6 a couple days ago and the MMS issues are completely gone (had an S6E before the G4 without the issues also). I really want to like the G4 but until there's root at a minimum it's going to be sitting on my desk unused. It lags, the damn Hangouts has stopped message, the MMS issues, the lack of control over bluetooth messaging access (which was present in the G3 as well but fixed via xposed).

Yeah I was having that issue as well. Since I've moved back to my S6 and my girlfriend has stuck with the G4 I've tested that a lot along with comparing a couple group MMS that we're both in and it's quite frequent that she not only gets the unable to download error but messages don't even come through at all. I've turned off wifi calling on her phone for days at a time to see if that sorts it out but it doesn't. Tried adding an APN with 80 as the MMS port as well which used to solve a lot of MMS issues on TMo but that didn't do any good either. I haven't gotten rid of my G4 yet but the case against it is building :/

Same issues here. I had the same exact issue with my G3 which is part of the reason I upgraded to the G4. Oh well.

I did a factory reset and so far I have now been getting all the messages in my group chat. Hopefully it stays like this!

It's almost like it's a rot issue of some sort. When I switched back to my S6 I factory wiped my G4 and was ready to sell it I was so annoyed but I decided to just hang out to it a little bit longer. Earlier this week I loaded it up and used it for a day or so and everything was working okay and then sure enough about 2 days in all the same old bugs started again. Definitely consistent across our devices it seems.
I've been having this problem with for a while. I think it's a T-Mobile thing. I had this problem with my Nexus 5, S5 and now my G4. It seems to only happen with Group Messaging for me on all 3 phones.

What's funny is one of the techs I've spoken with at tmobile mentioned that, off the record. He said there was some system update they did some time ago and ever since then they've had more calls about SMS and MMS issues. I really don't remember having the issue as much when I had the Nexus 6 or the One M8 but I don't think I was group texting quite as much. Since tmobile is sending out a replacement I'll probably switch to it. I guess I'll stop sweating it so much... Just annoying.

That's strange I've never had this issue with any of my other phone on TMo including the S6 I'm using now. Hopefully it gets sorted in one fashion or another soon.
I had 3 this weekend from three different people - all had iPhones. One was on at&t, one was on Verizon, and I'm finding out the carrier for the third right now.
And all of the groups were three people - 2 iPhones and my G4.
I've been suffering this issue on my AT&T G4 on multiple occasions. Doesn't appear to be carrier related, unfortunately.
Does anyone have a new updated solution for this? My SO has a tmobile g4 and SMS/MMS is worthless at work. No signal (or other networks), great wifi signal but message just say sending and failed.. Wifi in of it self works fine to surf.
I have a similar problem on my note 4, but it is much less frequent.
Thanks!
Can anyone provide a point-by-point difference between the two other than "SM-N910T3 is just better"?
I've seen the question asked a few times in previous threads, reddit but I have not seen anything conclusive.
Also it seems the initial question becomes a quick after thought because it quickly delves into rooting questions, which I do not care about at this point.
I get that SM-N910T3 has 5.1.1. but what else? Heck even if its a best guess I'd love to hear it here.
For now this is what I got from Reddit:
pomidorable 2 points 14 days ago said:
Samsung likely changed suppliers for one or more of the key components (likely a cost reduction measure for a phone that's about to go out of production in a few months), and as such the ROM had to be altered to support it.

For what it's worth I had the N910A (on AT&T) for about 9 months. The T3 seems much snappier. It has it's quirks though, the pen icon gets stuck on in the notification bar and so does the headphone icon.

It at least seems that T3 does not suffer from any of those GPS issues people were reporting on "regular" Ts. I got T3 myself, would be happy to answer any questions I can

What do you mean
My pen icon gets stuck occasionally as well, I think it's a 5.1.1 issue unfortunately.

When I got my T3, I just went to Kies and reinstalled the software, haven't had that issue yet. Now it works better than my old Sprint Note 4

What was wrong with it that Samsung had to fix it? How did you get a newer phone and then your old phone back?
I ask because mine is starting throw fits like a stubborn mule and its really pissing me off. If it doesn't just lock up and freeze, its bt connections or dropped calls.
So the n910t3 is the developers edition?

Learned something new.. I was just had a long text chat with samsung suppoprt... it looks like the n910t3 may be the developer edition? they checked a few IMEI numbers / serial numbers and confirmed my device was developer edition which may explain the model number difference and may explain the 5.1.1 while n910t is left at 5.0.1 for now. Samsung also confirmed that Tmo has 5.1.1 and it's up to them to decide when / if to deploy it.

That's what Samsung told me over chat too. I have the chat saved. The rep also said I could go into a store and specifically request one (though I don't think that's right). I wonder why they're selling them? Possibly a large shipment was ordered in error? I wonder what the difference is aside from having 5.1.1. I know on the ROM development side of things, everything is mostly compatible.
I had that suspicion though too; I asked if it was an internal developer edition meant for testing updates before they're released to the public, and the Samsung rep reassured me that's exactly what it was. I wonder why they're for sale though.

**edit**
BAH! Who knows and who cares now I guess. I just got off the phone with Tmobile and they told me its just a software update. Then I found this article pretty much saying the same thing, from last month.

My phone completely died. Turn around was about a week and a day.
Ok so about the SM-N910T3 compared to my previous 910T and what I've accidentally...
Ok so a few things I've accidentally noticed about my T3.
First off, Had to get my Note 4 replaced by T-mobile 2 days ago, they said it was on backorder, so I get a brand new Note 4 direct from Samsung and then I realized the registration screens looked slightly different, so I went to the settings menu, I'm like "Something doesn't feel right" so then I found it, 5.1.1 which I tried updating my 910T 3 days ago, and wouldn't go beyond 5.0.1 THEN found out it was the N910T3 that i Had just gotten.
After careful review on my old NOTE 4 to still send back, the glass on the Note 4 curves down INTO the walls around the edge of the phone. about 0.5mm depth, on the SM-N910T3 it doesn't. It curves down, but almost PERFECTLY LEVEL to the edge walls., ALSO haven't gotten to try the GPS thing yet, but mine worked FAIRLY well always anyways.
The OTHER major thing I've noticed, and this is WITHOUT the battery, since a charged battery weighs slightly more than an uncharged one.
119g for the SM-N910T vs 123g for the SM-N910T3 == 4grams difference in weight? S-pen is the same, both with a sim card and microSD card, no battery. Hardware upgrade?
I said screw it in the end and ponied up to buy a new one. I swear to gawd every employee looked at me crossed eyed when I told them I didn't want to buy the Note 5.
I must have gotten the last normal note 4 then through warranty because that is what they sent me. I called Tmobile and tried to get it resolved but they told me to contact Samsung (I did) and they told me they were just going to fix my phone and I'd be without one for about 10 days.
As for differences I did notice the extra option at boot up too. My GPS seems to lock a lot faster. I will have to keep playing with it though to verify as I haven't had much time to go through it yet but I will say the Samsung Smart Switch was very nifty in getting my settings transferred over.

I switched from sprint to T-Mobile a few weeks ago, caught them throttling my data after 13GB. Had to ditch the sprint note 4 and get the Note 4 through JOD
