If it addresses some bugs and improves the camera then I am content to wait for Android Moon Pie for some of RAM fixes.

Rumored for early next year for carrier devices. TMO will probably be one of the first out of the blocks.

Wonder if my new Note 5 will have "Moon Pie" ?

Depends upon timing, certainly hope so as i6s will need strong competiton.

I disagree. There's no excuse for the RAM issue to persist this long. It makes the phone unusable after a day or so. Android M shouldn't be the software that fixes it...it's Samsung’s software.

Android M and Lollipop are Google Android OS.

Not every one is having RAM issues but if it is not addressed in Lollipop then the default is Android M.

No, Samsung could push out an update for their Lollipop devices. Current rumor is that Note 5 will have that fix. And since Note 5 will most likely not launch with M (based on the past few years), then the fix will be on Lollipop.

You realize that Samsung, LG and HTC slip their UI skins which could be material design compliant over the Android OS. They can push patches to effect these improvements but the OS needs to be patched to deal with the RAM issue that some are experiencing. Carriers are overly cautious and add to the delay. If Samsung were the only Android manufacturer and there were no stock Android devices, then you would have a situation like Apple which is what people expect but is not realistic given the present Android landscape.

Yes, I do understand how Android works, but thank you for explaining. Manufacturers can push updates for their Lollipop devices whenever they like. There does not have to be a major Android OS update for them to fix something. LG did it over the past few weeks for multiple carriers with the G4, as did Samsung for Verizon users last week. They can send out patches and such (it just needs to be approved by the carrier).

So that's why a fix could come before Android M. It's Samsung’s problem, not Google's. Rumor is right now the fix could come with the release of the Note 5 (sorry, meant Galaxy S6 edge plus) and in my opinion that's a little too long for them to patch such a big issue.
