I rec'd my Nexus 7 Tab a couple of weeks ago. Immediately there was a flurry of updates landing me at 4.2. Today I rec'd notice there a new update had been downloaded and was ready to install! The new version? 4.2.
After reading some of the woes others have experienced with 4.2, I'm wondering if I have a "different" version of 4.2 (that works just fine.)
The constant stream of OTA updates is a pain in the arse. Can we get on a 3 month release cycle?

December bug fix they had to release before December started hence the update, it isnt usually that frequent.

Sign up with Verizon. You will be lucky to ever get another Android update.
Is this a serious thread? You're actually complaining about updates?
You do realise that these updates improve your device (new features & bugfixes). Are they really that much of an inconvenience for you?
10 whole minutes of downtime. The horror!
Yeah buy any android device that doesn't have "nexus" in the name and you won't have to worry about android updates anymore...

locking this. There are plenty of OTA threads to post in guys...
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.

Oh yeah, like they "rigorously tested" the 4.4.4 update that, despite being months behind the release on other carriers, still managed to reduce my battery life from "this easily lasts well into a second day" to "it's dead by the time I get out of work from just idling," even after multiple factory resets?

OK, so let me get this straight. My phone was happy and pretty solid. Battery life was decent and I rarely had to reboot it. I have gone several weeks without an issue or reloading it.
Now, in preparation for 5.0, they push 4.4.4 on me and the interface now crashes regularly, battery life is less than 10 hours and I have to reboot it about every two days. I have missed several calls trying to swipe and answer only to have it ignore my every attempt. How much worse can 5.0 be than the 4.4.4 I have now. Are they testing 5.0 as rigorously as they did 4.4.4? How about letting us go back a version until they can budget enough people to test 5.0?
Funny thing I've been really happy with 4.4.4 and only a few minor issues. Battery life has been the best so far for me.
I'm sure lollipop with be out by the end of March for AT&T anyways. My son in law has it on Verizon and is not really that impressed with it. I'd rather them get it as right as could be than rush it TBH.

This is a stupid article written by someone who's extrapolated one sentence into we're never gonna get lolipop... Geez come on!

im so happy to be on a rooted 4.4.2 NG3 that is blocked from updates. I think I liked ND3 better on battery life.
I can already tell the article is not worth reading from the URL.
AT&T failed on 4.4.4 bugs and bloatware so what do you thinks going to happen with 5.x Lollipop? :silly:
I'm sticking with 4.4.2

I completely agree. My phone was pretty solid and my wife's too...now we are both ready to throw them out a window. No battery life, lots of reboots and lost calls. I'd rather have 5.0 sooner than later, but May 22 my Saygus V2 ships. I may be done with Samsung for a while.

After I got the OTA update to 4.4.4, my phone ran like crap! I downgraded back to 4.4.2, rooted and disabled all OTA apps. My phone is now running great on 4.4.2/NG3.

I replaced my phone and upgraded to 4.4.4 from stock NG3. Bluetooth issues that annoyed me such as when playing music from scratch from my radio, it would play some random ringtones. Had to manually select Google music. Downgraded to 4.4.2 and had major wifi issues due to OA1 baseband and older ROM. Realized I left re-activation lock on which wouldn't disable in 4.4.2. Flashed back to stock ND3, wouldn't boot. Did the NG3 to NCE downgrade with the reactivation lock on. Was successful and once I upgraded from NCE to NG3 stock, I was able to disable the lock. Flashed my NuclearFallout ROM back on and ran with it. This will be my last Samsung phone, I'm going Nexus next. Can't stand AT$T adding crap to my device without my permission when I'm running stock.
I can't even read the article on my phone, there's so many pop-ups, side load ads, and auto-start videos.
I will say that the 4.4.4 update pushed out to my S5 Active effectively killed my phone.
Windows ME was more responsive than this.

Never read or post links to sites that force you to mute your computer due to invasive ads. When you see sites that look like that with "news" stories, ads that adjust size as you're reading, ads that keep playing no matter how many times you pause, just hit that "x" button up there. Chances are wonderful that you didn't miss out on anything.
I just a week and half ago decided it was time to buy a house (living in a double wide for 14 years). Filled out loan preapproval, next day had answer. Met with my new realtor at houses. Saw five homes, 5th one was THE ONE. Put an offer, offer accepted same day. Escrow opened. Sent loan paperwork and down payment today. Escrow is 30-45 days. Moral of the story? I will have decided to buy a house and move in BEFORE AT&T gives lollipop to ANY Samsung device I own. At least I have something to occupy my time.
So much for this being their flagship phone on AT&T...

don't lament just yet, even tho it is rolling out to the AT&T Note 4 it is still version 5.0.1 and most of the die hard note 4 are sticking with the 4.4.4 at least until we have root or at least until there is a verifiable way to roll back to 4.4.4 if root is achieved. unfortunately for us Note4 owners currently there is no Odin firmware for 4.4.4 and AT&T is releasing 5.0.1 via OTA only.
just hang in the advantage you users have is there are devs with working L roms that you can flash once you get the official release and root is confirmed still working.

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.

Hi, I'm apoxo, I'm a Note 9 User and have been really happy with my new Note 9, I'm a big fan of the Note series, hence why i'm on a Note 9, Recently, i've encountered alot of bugs with it. Here's the story.
(im gonna try to make it as organized as possible, just an fyi)
THE ENCOUNTER
It began somewhere around when One UI was beginning to be flashable on Note 9's. I have previously attempted flashing, but almost broke my phone due to it getting stuck in the blue screen where its awaiting files to be flashed, but i fixed it by letting it drain. Anyway, I decided to try again, and it actually worked! Despite me getting a bit angry at the bloatware, I was happy with One UI; and frequently switched back and forth between Stock Sprint Android 8.1.0, to T-Mobile Android 9. The first time i switched, It got me confused, All messages that were sent to me had some sort of ID on them, An example message would be:
"You still up for the movie tonight? ~M9xmKAtUm" and "How's the wedding going? ~AxL92mLsTRgZ"
the bug was only really doing stuff before i restarted, Then i figured it was no biggie, So i forgot about it later on. Then once i flashed to 8.1.0, It did the same thing, but just stopped randomly. Which I thought was weird, but come on. Everything is weird.
THE ANNOYANCE
About the 3rd time i flashed to Android 9, it really stuck for a long time. Then i was fed up, I did random settings on and off, those things. Nothing, about 2 weeks later; It stopped. Yay! Its all over now! You can l- Nope, i'm just getting started!
MAJOR DAMAGE ~ PHIL SWIFT
Once One UI i was finally out, I was ecstatic! I immediately went to my computer, and flashed to Stock Sprint Android 8.1.0. Then i did some setting up, and then. I updated to the Unlocked One UI. (I'm on an unlocked phone mind you. Check bottom to see specs and stuff.) and then it stuck. It began to cause MAJOR DAMAGE ~ Phil Swift.
No seriously it did, It would never go away. Turning off Wifi-Calling? Nope, Turning on Wifi-Calling? Nope, Factory Resetting? Nope. Switching Messaging apps? Nope. Everything I tried didn't work, and eventually i gave up. Then today, i decided it was just too annoying, and that i should get rid of it. And so here i am, typing this worded message. MMS Messages aren't affected, which is just a confusion cherry on top of a 5 layered cake, named "Anger", "Sadness", "Inspiration", "Confusion", and "Regret".
PHONE DETAILS
Manufacturer | Samsung
Name | Galaxy Note9
One UI Ver. | 1.0
Build Ver. | N960U1UEU1CSB3
Carrier | Google Fi/Unlocked
Type | Snapdragon 500 or 400 something
FAREWELL
Well it's the end of the post, I just wanted to say... thanks for reading and stay safe!
Not being disrespectful but I felt nauseous after reading your post.

Yeah, sorry about that. It was rushed and plus I'm literally a new member to this site, But have used it in the past as I have, like I said in the post, began flashing phones.
