Att update to 5.1

[anon(1017475)]

I may be in the minority here regarding my OCD-ness...and I hope its not pre-mature; but it looks like a LOOOOONG standing bug re: music playing on this device (and for that matter, the GS3) has been fixed. I should know...my phone has been my primary music player for YEARS.

Description: when playing mp3s (and streaming music I think) over headphones, if you unplug the headphones, about a half a second worth of the track you were playing would play over the phone speaker. THAT relative annoyance has NOT happened over the numerous points in time today.

Update failed on me twice. I did the cache clearing tip and trying again right now. I'll let everyone know if it worked for me.

On my mom's AT&T Galaxy S5 it won't update either. How do I get it to update? Please help! This is the second time it has failed!

You will need around 2GB+ of free space on your phone to receive this update. Upgrade Device Software for the Samsung Galaxy S5 (G900A)

EDIT: It appears that between 5-7GB of free space is actually required for this AT&T update!!!

The cache trick did indeed work for me. I cleared out my cache (which had 3GB of data in it) and I was able to update after that. It didn't break my SD card, luckily.

I did notice that the animations were smoother and the phone felt less jerky. However, only time will tell if it will stay that way...

i didn't realize there was an update, I just checked and it's downloading now. we'll see how it goes...

Multiple failures here, read on XDA to have at least 7 GB free. Worked for me. Clear the cache from storage, uninstall enough apps to have 7GB free.

Are you registered on the AT&T network?

Has your phone been rooted/modified?

No i am using unlocked version of S5

Is it the SM-G900A model and on the AT&T network?

If not, you will not get the AT&T, Android 5.1.1, update.

I had 3GB free, and it failed. I uninstalled apps until I had 5GB free, and it worked fine at that point.

Not sure why a 600MB update needed 5GB to install. But what a mess... especially since the installer just aborted, and didn't give a helpful error.

Got the update downloaded on both my and my wife's S5's and both ended saying not enough memory. I have deleted plenty of stuff on both phones and still get the same notification. Cleared the cache also.

I had the same issue myself and I've tried to download and install it 4 times with the same results

 

[jdn254]

Yes. Mine downloaded and then said interrupted after restarting in recovery mode. Will try and tomorrow. Anyone has success?

Same thing. Tried cleaning cache, turned off developer options, and everything else I can think of. Still fails. Please help!!!

 

[deke40]

Don't know if makes a difference but when I had the ptoblem I used CCleaner instead of using the cache
clean on android. I use CC with the default settings and have had no problrms.

Delete some apps to get about 6.25gbs of free space worked for me!

I had the same problem tried to update at least 10 times but would always fail and say install interrupted.

Thanks. I will give it a shot at deleting and freeing up some space...

Couple more days in...my previously posted battery life is still holding.

Found another annoyance (at least for me) that has been corrected...the displaying full screen album art in the lockscreen while music is playing is GONE! Thank God!

I agree with previous posters as well...Lollipop animations seem more "polished" in this 5.1.1 build.

Bluetooth connectivity in the car FEELS a little quicker connecting as well. I thought it was a tad sluggish in 5.0.

Have not seen a "push" on software update. I have tried to update manually several times, but the download (around 700 MB) seems to get interrupted. Then it says it is updating. Then I check version and it still says 5.0. Then I check Android Version and it says 5.0. Then I try to update and it says the software is up to date and I can try again in just under 24 hours. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting to update automatically that I may have turned off? Thanks,
