Wtf RAM?! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6

Nevermind. I just read a few articles about how S6 has a glitch which makes RAM management unacceptable. Hopefully an update gets released soon which will adress this issue.

This is actually an issue with Android 5.0 in general. Apparently AT&T and Samsung are currently working on an update that will resolve the issue.

Why am I not getting the lollipop update ota yet?

Hi guys
Sorry if this is a dumb question. I have a totally stock 2012 nexus 7 on 4.4.4. It's wireless not 3g and I'm in the UK.
If I check for updates it says I'm up to date. I'm not rooted and running stock android. It had never been tampered with in any way.
Am I missing something?!
Cheers!
Robsa.
Because it has not been pushed yet.

Really surprised it hasn't been pushed yet, even though the factory image and the OTA image are our there already.
An, OK! Many thanks. I take it they pulled the first lollipop release then?

As far as we can tell, and other complaints in other forums seem to confirm, they stopped pushing the update to Nexus 7. Why? We can only speculate. The ways of the Great Google are Mysterious. We are mere children and should not question the Great Google in His Infinite Wisdom.
If Google pulled off the update to fix performance issues some people have been reporting, I'm completely ok with that.
Know it took my wife's N7 2013 quite awhile to update to lolli. Think it was just a few days ago. Just have to be patient as it will come.

I totally agree.
Are you really in THAT big of a hurry to turn your Nexus into a useless piece of garbage? Because that's what will happen after you put 5.0 on it. Hopefully the 5.0.2 image they pushed today will resolve the performance issues.
Pushed to who? Nexus 7 2012?

The 5.0.2 update definitely fixes the performance issues from the initial update to 5.0. Happy with the performance I'm getting. Pretty much the same as what I was getting under KK, which wasn't bad at all.
Initial boot into 5.0.2 might seems slow and laggy, but give it a few hours and it definitely clears up. That's with a clean update.
I didn't get the OTA. I just went to the Google images site and downloaded the official Google image and flashed it. I never got the LP OTA pushed to my device for whatever reason.
Agreed, 5.0.2 seems to have fixed the performance issues I was having.

Wade-0,
Although "push" is a misnomer given how the tech actually works, in common parlance, available for download and manual installation is typically not considered a push. Just sayin.

Considering I used the same terminology from the XDA homepage posting on the topic, maybe you should lighten up there skippy.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-5-0-2-factory-images-nexus-7-wifi/
"Android 5.0.2 has just been pushed into Google’s AOSP repos."
The 4.4.4>5.0 OTA is probably cancelled due to the known reasons.
The 5.0>5.0.2 OTA for the affected people on 5.0 is rolling out, check the other thread for the link.
They will probly wait to see if 5.0.2 fixes the stuff and add some OTA from 4.4.4 to 5.0.2.

Device is shutting down automatically

Phone is shutting down automatically sometime. What's the reason? I'm running 5.0.1 Please help
I'm having the same issue. I'm assuming it is the memory leak issues in 5.0.1. I don't have the time or the patience right now to get adb up and running on my machine to push 5.0.2 to my phone. Wish they would release the update faster to these devices. I was hoping for update notifications a day or two after Google releases them, but I'm getting them almost a month after. Not what I was expecting.....

I'm really worried :crying: Though it's not any carrier device. It had not happened on early days. Now it's happening :crying: I thought it's some kind of hardware fault. This happens very few times but it's annoying. Are you sure about the memory leak issue? Any source for the news?

I've read a couple places, can't remember where, that they were having memory leaks on the nexus 7s and that's one of the reasons they are running 5.0.2. I figured that if they were having leaks, we probably are too but we don't notice it as much cause we have more ram. I installed a team monitor app, going to keep an eye on my ram.

That was ICS to JB this is still lollipop, i dont know if that makes a difference though.
Besides bug fixes and minor tweaks, i don't foresee anything that Android could come out with that would blow my mind.
Everything that could be done with a rom seems to have been accomplished. Now it's all just fancy bells and whistles on who can look prettier.
hope bug fixes

we are supposed to get silent mode back right. thats an additional feature being added not a bug fix.
According to Android Pit, yes, Silent Mode is back!
Silent mode added after missing on Android 5.0
General improvements in system stability
Improved RAM management
Fixes for sudden app closures
Improved battery management
Excessive consumption of network devices when used Wi-Fi fixed
Issues with wireless connections fixed
Problems with Okay Google function solved
Notifications problems solved
Some sound problems experience by certain devices fixed
Other improvements and changes
Changes in the Material Design color palette (after users complaints, possibly for a higher version though)

::edit:: these are rumors and not actual changes. Sorry. Silent mode is up in the air.
I'll be happy with some RAM/Battery management, but I doubt it comes too soon since we haven't got 5.0.2 yet.
As you can see 5.0.2 it´s only for tablets....
Definitely looking forward to ram & battery improvements!
Wooooow! I can't wait!
i can't wait. i hope it also fixes the gps issues that 5.0 brought to my phone (as well as a few others). I've had to roll back to kk for now
I expect a better manage for battery, since I have android 5.0.1 it consumes a lot of energy and drains my battery
Still waiting on the Camera2 API being put to use. I Wonder if this will be the first step before an update to the Google Camera app
Is there any clue as to when 5.1 could arrive? Now the news is in the open and the software seems operational, would it be a matter of days, weeks or months to arrive on Nexuses...?

It´s seems it will be available this month.
Sadly i don't think 5.1 brings any fix to memory leak and battery life. cos from 4.4.4 to 5.0 brings no improvements except material design. i don't want to rise my expectations cos i don't want big dissapointments.
Lol WTF man?

H87210h Update ?

I read that this update caused bootloop for some users. My concern is there's been no communication from T-Mobile! Now I am on H87210e. I bought my phone about a week ago. My first LG. I'm concerned if I should keep it or return it. I tried OTA and LG Bridge to no avail. I don't want to waste $500 stuck with a device that is known to fail! But I' don't like the S8 so idk what to do!
I've been on H87210h several weeks and not a single bootloop.
Yet the update isn't available to download or receive on LG Bridge lol.......perhaps you just haven't had a boot loop yet.
I haven't seen anybody in XDA report a bootloop. Don't know why you and some others can't download it. I've had the update since the day it came out and have had no bootloop problems.
Have had absolutely 0 issues with the update..

Been on update for a while and have had zero issues as well. Your reaching for something that isn't there..
I'm not reaching and there is no flaw. There's a reason an "update" is nearly 30 days old and you can't access it via OTA or LG Bridge - it's not like the G6 was flying off the shelf....and there are some users who have had issues after they update- you commenting saying you didn't doesn't negate theirs! Not a difficult thing to grasp.......
Just got off phone with @lguSAMobile and @Tmobile there is a KNOWN issue with the #LGG6 they are being mum about - and reason why all devices haven't got the latest update #H87210h and why it was halted @ #H87210e and why oTA or lg bridge won't give u the latest BUG FIXES and SOftware stability update! But they want "me" to spend my $ LOL - the resolution was TBD they don't know when the update will come....#TRASH
I guess #Bootloop is real, cracked camera, cracked back, just all cracked up. LOL argh - JAy Z...#ONtoThENextONe

Dude, just take it back if you're having grief. I've had no issues, running 87210h as well for weeks now.

Why do people comment they aren't having issues..... Completely missing the point of this information that there are people who are having issues, and the update status is ambiguous and MIA.
Mod Edit: Removed personal attack comments - please see forum rules
Just playing devil's advocate here. First off, that's a good thing if what you say is true. They aren't updating a phone to break, last time I checked that's called quality control. Secondly most people are XDA are interested in root, custom ROM's and such so keeping it on an older update gives developers time to find exploits. If you're interested in a stock updated and locked up phone you might like the S8. I'm not trying to argue with you but you really seem displeased with LG stopping a potentially fatal flaw on their phones. They don't have to explain why they won't update, Apple hasn't explained quality control issues on their phones for years. Just saying.
Thread cleaned and closed
Forum rules state personal attacks will not be tolerated
When this does happen, please do not respond but report
Thank you for your cooperation

Phone update 5/20/18

Hey, my phone got updated this morning! Was it Oreo? No...no, it was a security patch. Are we getting Oreo before the G7 comes out or is it not looking too good for the G6?
Not really sure why everyone is so impatient about getting Oreo. 7.0 works fine and we are getting security updates. What doesn't work that requires Oreo? I'm happy to wait.
given the issues that tmo seems to be having with the oreo update, im very much ok with waiting for it. 7.0 works quite well and we are getting the security updates.
Interesting because I'm not getting the updates and am actually still on December's patch

This update is rolling out in waves. The last update was the December security patch so nothing unusual here. It will come to you eventually.
Android Authority reports the US Verizon G6 got Oreo today. T-Mobile is usually the last among US carriers to get major OS updates, so I suspect we'll get it in July.

I believe it is because T-Mobile does so much mucking around with the MFG's FW. I think they monitor the apps you install, block tethering apps (at an OS level), and do other things that are not good and add bloat.
I am rooted and waiting for Lineage or another to become more stable and I am ditching T-Mobile's FW releases.

have you tried oreo 8.1? it does run alot smoother then 7.0 , better notifications. and picture-n-picture is pretty sweet
Got the update today. Seems pretty nice so far. Cleaner. Nice little touches here and there. Even freed up some much needed space. Only thing I'm noticing is a good bit of lag in chrome especially when typing.

You getting the update through lg bridge? And does anybody know of an unlocked bootloader would effect the update process?

It was OTA. Popped up late the night before I made that post. As long as you're not rooted or modified any system files, I don't think an unlocked bootloader will affect an update.
And a lot of the lag cleared up. Just some FC issues with some games at first start. Still don't have great wifi or cell reception with this phone.
