Re: Marshmallow update arriving soon...

I'm just looking forward to getting Doze to improve battery life. It's fantastic on my Nexus 6.

Agreed. It is awesome on my 6P. Before I got the phone I thought doze would help some but it actually helps a ton .

Now is this date base on the carrier? I though each carrier will decide the date of actual release, cause they have to build their layout around the actual OS?

Let's hope Verizon doesn't do something that invasive.

Well the thing is that Google set out requirements that OEMs cannot touch Doze at all. I think that extends to carriers as well.

Re: Marshmallow update arriving soon...

Let's hope that's the case. From what little I've read, Doze is supposed to be a good thing, so don't understand why an OEM and then a downstream carrier would want to touch, or interfere with Doze. In particular, why should a carrier try to disable or "fix" something like Doze? Would disabling Doze give a carrier some sort of financial gain or feature edge compared to other carriers?

Verizon would do it out of arrogance. They removed both Samsung pay and MS. OFFICE so it would not surprise me if they tamper with Marshmellow.

What possible reason does Verizon have for pulling a stunt like that?

What reason did Verizon have for removing the MS Office suite? This package was part of a settlement agreement between Samsung and Microsoft where Samsung would preload Office on all their phones. By removing office Verizon deprived their customers of the one drive offer. 100GB free storage for 2 years. So I for one will not be surprised if Verizon removes key features. Will they mess with Doze. I don't know but if they do it will not surprise me.

Verizon is the most arrogant of the carriers. They know they have the best coverage and don't care about losing customers. The CFO has so stated in the past. Until the number leaving exceeds 10% of total customers they will not care. At 10% it starts to effect the bottom line to where it is noticeable.

I have a VZ note 5 and I have and use Samsung pay so I don't know what you mean that Verizon removed it.

Re: Marshmallow on Note 5

There was a short period of time after the N5 was available on Verizon and when Verizon certified Samsung Pay. For that time VZ customers could not use the SP application. Many people here and elsewhere believed it was related to financial terms between Sammy and VZ but no specific evidence has come forward to my knowledge.

I have a VZ note 5 and I have and use Samsung pay so I don't know what you mean that Verizon removed it.

Per Verizon Samsung Pay was preloaded on the note 5 and Verizon removed it and MS Office because they "...do not support preloaded apps". That was their response to an FCC complaint I filed.
Please note that the other carriers left the applications on their version of the phone so when the beta test was running people on all the other carriers were able to participate. Verizon did not allow Samsung Pay on their network until a month after the official release by Samsung. Up to that time Verizon was actively blocking the app.

The question is what will Verizon remove from Marshmellow. If Doze is considered a Core Feature by Google, than the OEM and carriers will not be able to mess with it. However there are other features that Verizon may remove. So it is not a matter of if, but rather what will Verizon remove or cripple.

I remember owning the note 4 and thinking when will i get 5.1.1 and it finally happened. But before it happened I was already on my note 5 which was such a shame. Now i see this article

Samsung note 5 is great but why are we always last to get an update

Thats horrible these companies do such a bad job getting us the update that by the time we get it the newest phones are already out and makes a phone like the note line feel ancient. This might be my last note. I might seriously look at the nexus phone in 2016 and see what they bring. My friend has a nexus 6p and its absolutely a dream phone.
