Thanks systemofadown1 but I'm OK on those as they are released via Samsung and I can see them on the server. I only have problems, usually, with the 2 non Samsung firmware releases for AT&T and Verizon.

Good luck with the update old stick!

Just appeared on my Sprint Galaxy S5 phone too.

313.20MB update

Downloading now OTA!

NOTE: Samsung's release notes are the same, old, standard, generic release notes. Doesn't specify any specific changes. Just says bug fixes, performance upgrades, yadda yadda. Offers the option to schedule it later.

Update completed. The device still shows me on Android 5.0. So, looks like it was just a Samsung patch?

Just completed the update on my Sprint S5 waiting to see if any changes stand out. I bet it is not 5.1.

 

[systemofadown1]

I've been running the update full blast since about 7 this morning no hiccups at all so far

For the most part it looks to have been an update to the reactivation lock and maybe a couple of small minor bug fixes

 

[cyberdman]

Yeah I just got it this morning also. Updated, no issues, but I have no idea what is different. Seems the same to me, still Android 5.0

 

[TimmyTwo2]

Maybe it's the keyboard patch for the vulnerability? Either way, I'm D/L it now!

 

[systemofadown1]

It's an update to the reactivation lock

 

[systemofadown1]

Further update for the latest release from Sprint shown above ⤴
I've got to say Thank You Sprint !!!!
By not radically modifying Samsung's updates Sprint updates we receive don't cause all the headaches that the AT&T T Mobile and Verizon users are having

One thing I noticed this morning - if you open your Text Message App "Messages", it will no longer appear in the recent applications screen. Not sure if that means it's always running by default or it auto-closes whenever you hit the home button to bounce out of the app. Nothing really major. Just something I noticed as I always close my open apps to save some battery.

So, it's NOT an Android Lollipop update. Just a Samsung reactivation lock fix.

The thread title is a bit inaccurate. No big deal.

My Messages shows in my recent tabs when I look at it.

On Sprint: No problems with update. Phone seems faster. Did clear the partion cache afterwards. After two full days, the battery usage is far better than before the update.
