[DISCUSSION]Android 4.4.3 Update in June?!

Well done, Samsung. They said in the beginning of June that the Update will be available within June. It is now the 19th. Of July and it's not here yet. They better be updating directly to 4.4.4 soon or at least a fast Android L update when it is available.. This is the only bad side of Android: for non-Nexus users it takes literally half a year to receive a MINOR update... Am I the only one that is angry about this problem?

But what's new. Samsung has newer been fast or early with updates.

They would have binned the 4.4.3 update and gone straight to 4.4.4 which makes sense really.
It shouldn't be too long now that we start seeing it roll out to the S5, but as always it's luck of the draw which region gets it first, & how long others have to wait until it reaches them which could be months.

No one really has a good track record when it comes to updates... sure sometimes some are better than others but if you want to go a non nexus device you have to deal with it

They are taking their time for sure... Sony, HTC already beat them to the punch (dunno about LG).
I only can remember the supposed document that didn't seem so real to be honest, when did Samsung publish an update schedule?
As said before in this thread, they most likely cancelled 4.4.3 to go all the way to 4.4.4 but even Sony has released that now.

i hope they will jump directly to android L

Reason for that being that both HTC & Sony software's isn't as bloated as Touchwiz is, tbh i think this generation of Touchwiz is actually worst performance wise & looks than the last gen on the Note 3 & S4.

Both Sony and HTC have a lot of code to add as well, but they are executing much better.
I suspect the delays are due to Samsung pushing a lot of devices at the same time and having limited engineering resources.
Most likely they are working on the Note 4 at the moment... and the 16 new devices they keep pushing every month.

Yes, you're the only one. Do you even know what .3 and .4 updates are? They're mostly security fixes that OEMs probably fixed in their builds before Google's own Nexus factory Android.

A; we weren't promised the update at all. there was a rumour started because of a heavily cropped image
B,the minor security fixs were possibly put in the NG update we all just got
C you start the thread with a promise of discussion but the op is typical OEM slamming that ive come to expect.
D there is no D because the first 3 were so good

Android Lollipop

Hello good people. Doesn't anyone know if the TF701 is getting this upgrade?

We can hope so but I've not seen anything official from Asus.

Highly unlikely imo but you never know. We are approaching the 18 month point that marks the end of official support.

September 2013 (I thought it was August but I bought mine in Sep)
So that means soon we will be in month 14.

I feel like Asus abandoned us
I've been holding off putting a third party ROM on my TF701T as Asus had been good about updating other tablets. But I feel like their crappy docking hinge caused lower sales which makes them care very little about this particular product. My guess is we aren't going to see Lollipop officially. Good things there is active development going on.

Hi guys,
is anybody try this ?

He (pershoot) has said it a couple of times in his CM thread that he was going to make a lollipop rom, but it was a while ago, and I assume most people forgot about it or something.

I asked the people of ASUS and they said there are no plans a.t.m. for an android 5.0 release

Good news, pershoot released an unofficial cm 12 (android 5) port for tf701t yesterday
droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3671
I've just installed it via cwm recovery.

While I don't want to raise false hope, I just want to share one special brochure made by ASUS Singapore, indicating that there might be a 5.0 update for the tf701t. http://pricewatch.vr-zone.com/itshow/pricelists/view/ASUS7

Hmm, that's interesting. We can only hope.

I just got two updates in the last to days. They usually put out updates before they do a major upgrade like lollipop so I take this as a hopeful sign.

No, these weren't just app updates they were system updates. Got to watch the android dude a little bit both times. After the first my background changed after the second the pulldown changed. Still on 4.4.2

While I was in contact with ASUS support I asked about Android L to the TF701T. First they said that they had no info, but later I got a reply, where they said that the had contacted the RD-department and that ASUS have no plans on releasing Android L for the TF701T.
We can onlu hope that this info is incorrect or ASUS change their minds. They havn'nt made any offical statement at all regaring Android L to tablets, have they?

It doesn't surprise me as we are approaching 2 years. ASUS don't really release updates beyond 18 months. All their latest transformers seem to be using Intel chips for Android as well.

Android One Gets 5.1 But Nexus 4 Won't

Micromax Canvas A1 Android One smartphone receiving update to Lollipop 5.1 But Not our Nexus 4.
Not only micromax android one, Karbonn and spice are too receiving OTA 5.1 update, Cheap 1Gb ram phone getting updates and nexus the highend phone won't. I thought my phone get better support than Micromax Spice and Karbonn. But wow I am totally surprised

The gnex is only one year older than n4 but it didn't receive kitkat, so yes, just because it was released a year before.

Also, Nexus 7 2013 users still don't get 5.1
BTW, I prefer a tested bug free 5.1 update because it could be the last update Nexus 4 receive

I would be absolutely SHOCKED if we got even one more update after 5.1. I wasn't even expecting it to get that, but I think Google just wants the major bugs patched before they send it to EOL land so at least they're leaving it on a stable build.

I would be shocked if updates are stopped before it is impossible for technical reasons?!

HTC used to abandon one year old phones without technical reasons.
It cost money to keep updating so they will stop whenever they feel like it. The hardware is to a point now where it will support updates a lot longer than it used to.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app

Yes but HTC is not Google. And it does not cost anything if done right. My PC is from 2007 and still gets updates. And there are much more different PCs than Nexus devices. Its all about good SW design and hardware abstraction, isn't it?

Um, the Nexus 7, which is older got it already.
Android 5.1 launched on Android One devices, not on a Nexus (Indonesian One devices shipped with 5.1 almost a month before any Nexus got it.)
The Indian devices never got 5.0; so this is straight from KitKat.
Finally, the 4 will get it. Just be patient. Even the 9 and the newer 7 haven't gotten it, so comparing it against AO is a bit of cherry-picking.

Frankly, we're damn lucky we got 5.0 .
I was 100% certain that 4.4.4. was the EOL point for the Nexus 4.
I'll get a good laugh if my N4 gets the update before my new N9 though.

this is nexus !!
you can use the big world of android rom and ubuntu and firefox os .
Dont worry .
The story is not over yet .

Hope Google not abandon Nexus 4

I'm afraid they inevitably will, but I'm sure the devs will take good care of it. Plus, devs often optimise kernels and roms so they are better than what Google offers.

I've contacted a mod to close this thread. It's so ridiculous some times...

[OFFICIAL DEADLINE] Nexus 5 won't receive any guaranteed update after October 15

In an official help page, google announced the android version update deadline for the nexus lineup.
For nexus 5, it's October 2015.
Sadly, our beloved Nexus 5 won't survive Marshmallow. But it'll still continue to receive security update. :angel:
Android police article here
So guys, what will be future of Android N on Nexus 5 ?

No one knows anything yet... So you better wait..
The Nexus 5 probably won't get an official Android N release, but there's still a small chance.
We will see.
Oh and BTW the Nexus 5 will get awesome Custom ROMs based on Android N without any doubt.

Daniel Marchena have the same opinion. :fingers-crossed: :good:
To be specific, the first sentence states “After a certain period, Google can no longer guarantee that a device will get version updates or security patches.” (emphasis mine). Beneath this statement are words like “for at least” and “no guaranteed”, indicating not a hard a fast deadline, but instead a guideline that may or may not be followed.

in a recent reply to someone on the OB9 though it was mentioned that another release (most probably beta) will be released before new years, so, that's why i said next is OB10 and it's most probably gonna be for OP3 and OP3T , before unifying the update cycles for both by the stable release, probably early January 2017

if all the issues were ironed out, all of us would like to see an N stable, but this is a development program, push backs are common, and they announce such things on the OP Community Forums, so far i haven't read that there.
they might release a stable before new years, the current beta 9 is solid, i use it as daily driver, all i'm saying that official on their website there's nothing yet to suggest so, specially that OP is known to tease such things ahead of it's release...as i said we all want to see it, my comments is regarding their official status.

I am not so sure that the official Nougat will be available by the year end. But it is possible to get another CB of N with some bug fixes. I tried OB9 and its rock solid.( Only thing is I don't like the accent colours that much ) Oneplus might play it safe by releasing official ota after all bug fixing is done.

Well, here we are and no sign of it yet!
I remember going through this a few years back with a Motorola phone, I used to keep hearing that these updates were "imminent," or likely to "roll out," in various places, at various dates.
If my memory serves me well, it never happened and I got bored with checking..
I'll be chuffed if it does happen before the end of today, but I've already checked and zip! :laugh:
