New update this morning

[lagunarad]

What is it?

 

[MarvBear]

Got it on both my Note 4"s. I think is supposed to improve battery life, and they added a security patch I believe.

To quote what I said in a VERY recent update thread:
Can we please not have these Threads again? EVERYTIME a new OS is out everytime someone gets an update on their phone they post a thread, rather DO the update THEN AFTER THAT post if it is an OS Update.

I, for one, appreciate seeing a post about every update. (But not two threads about the same update, as this one is). Even the so called security updates sometimes have other changes/fixes added by the carrier and it is possible for those to cause problems. If these discussions are of no interest to you, then can't you just ignore the threads?

The very problem is that we are going to have multiple posts of the same update, I bet in a few days the will another 'Update?' thread. It happens time and time again.

From a Forum and SEO perspective its also not great, when someone wants to find info on major updates they end up being faced with endless 'Update?' 'Update!' 'New Update' etc... Threads, all about the same update.

I like the multiple theads and I read every one.

Personally I prefer to hear about the updates, even if they are not OS updates. Updates often change some function or fix/cause problems that I'd rather be aware of.

However, it would be helpful if the title of the post mentioned the carrier and date the person noticed the update at least.

That help both to prevent duplicates and with relevance - since each carrier has its own release schedule people could just skip by the update notifications that are not of interest to them.

But even in their current, duplicated, unknown-carrier form I'd rather hear about them than not.

I looked before posting because I didn't see any other posts about it. Sorry.

I don't think you have anything to apologize for about your post. The reason I came to the forum this morning was to find out about the update. Thank you for asking the question.

 

[aspruil]

Agreed, I as well came here for the exact same thing and did not have to dig around for it. Thanks...

 

[MsMichele]

I got the update as well...(Verizon) and wasn't expecting it, so came here to see what it may or may not have messed up!

 

[mak916]

Has the October update came out yet for any of the carriers or international versions?

 

[JimmieCD]

With new update seems to run more smoothly, maybe a bit less lag. No noticeable change in battery life. Runs cool under Action 3.

 

[MarvBear]

For me significant improvement in battery life.

No problem.

Its due to naming, it would help if people posted 'Verizon Note 4 Update' for example, give more detail in the title.

Nobody says they must not post about updates, so I'm not quite sure your point is? I said CHECK the update after updating then post about it, or we get endless threads about the same update.

I just bought a used N4 maybe an hour ago on eBay. A few questions. When I get it should I first do a factory reset then do the update? That way I'll have a fresh OS install? And secondly I forgot how smooth the screen feels and responds. I'm used to the S7E and N7 since Feb. Need some inputs on the feel and response the screen has with the new 6.01update.

I bought my husband a new N4 on Amazon, coming off a N7. Didn't due a fresh OS install. Did Samsung Smart Switch. Then 2 software updates. He's now on 6.01. Very snappy & responds well. So much so, that I purchased one for me too. My N3 is great, but after the N7, I'm spoiled and thought the N4 would be a decent consolation. MM is great on the N4!

My point was it would be nice to have carrier and date on update post titles, sorry I wasn't clear.

I appreciate the post as well. Regardless if it's multiple posts. Email the admins if it upsets anyone. Not trying to be rude, just honest.... As far as the update, no noticeable changes. I'll look for the multiple posts to keep me updated....
