Hi ironass. Any idea when the lollipop update will be available in the UAE? Thanks.

Lollipop has been released for the regional model, G900FD, for the UAE, so it should be fairly soon for the G900F. Sorry, I can't be more definite than that.
Keep checking...

S5 Lollipop (Android 5) latest releases

Thanks. Hopefully it arrives soon.

That's the $64,000 question, as far as I'm concerned (since I have an SM-G900V, too).

Easy one to answer...





Seriously, the Verizon update is all down to them... as per #1.6 of 40 Galaxy S5 models - Dummies Guide. Samsung have nothing to do with their clone firmware.

Yeah I'm on Verizon also. I feel like we have been left in the dust and they don't care. They are so far behind in updating to a more stable and better build. As ironass has stated...... Verizon is on a very old outdated firmware/changelist.

I love this OE5 update. I feel like my device is again faster... Apps launch a bit faster and overall experience become smooth.. its really noticeable.. for me at least.

Every release lately, I think Samsung can't possibly improve on the firmware any more and then they do! I know what you mean about the speed of apps launching... very fast.

Try the camera. I can open it, focus and shoot a picture all in 3-4 seconds.

When I reboot the phone, Wi-Fi is already connected by the time the screen comes on.

Scrolling is super smooth and lag free too.

Too early to say about the battery as I give it around 5 cycles but it is certainly no worse than OD3, which added about 20% life.

Just reporting the TMobile version is so far bug free... my build numbers match.
I just can't get used to the "white" settings background now instead of the black from 4.4.2
My upgrade was over 900mb

Still waiting for the UAE version to be available.

AT&T takes way longer for updates. We got the Lollipop update way late and have not seen any bug fixes at all .

 

[ironass]

It takes AT&T and Verizon around 2 months to issue one of their clone firmwares, see #1.6 of 40 Galaxy S5 models - Dummies Guide, by which time there can be 3 more updates from Samsung on the worlwide models, see post #1. I have had 5 updates from Samsung for Lollipop in less than 5 months!
