Lollipop update

[note-4]

I would agree. I'd rather wait a little longer than be pushed something that may not be quite ready.

No because I thought samsung would treat note 4 users better

You are not missing much on Lollipop. I have a Nexus 4 that has Lollipop installed and I just don't get what all the hype is about. I've had Lollipop on it for about two months now and I still bought my Note 4 knowing it may never see Lollipop. You really aren't missing much.

The natives are restless...and they're hungry too. They want Lollipop. ...and they want it now. It doesn't matter if it has bugs or not. They want it now.

Seriously, does anyone think that Lollipop is going to be that much better? Is there anything about that is ground breaking? I'm just curious.

The most impressive feature I've remember is its treatment of SD cards. That is not that much of a big deal to me either. However, to be fair, in my younger days an OS upgrade (MS Windows) was a big deal to me. Now that I'm married with great kids such things do not get me excited. That coupled with the facts that Kit Kat works great on my Note 3 and Note 4 and that Lollipop is said to have notable bugs is what makes me not really care about seeing it on my phones for now.

There isn't. When I got Lollipop on my Nexus 4, the only thing I really found useful was the battery saver feature. I had a hard time getting one hour of screen time on that phone and I still got less than an hour with battery saver but it made the standby times last a day or two.

I hated the way it changed the notification screen and a few KitKat features were gone.

My interest in Lollipop has absolutely nothing to do with how it "looks" and everything to do with how it works. Specifically with storage of files on the SD card.

Then you probably wont be happy with it until they iron out the bugs. Also, i'm pretty sure it has SOMETHING to do with the looks because if it came out looking like MsDOS i'm sure you'd have something to say about it.

Didn't mean to start a war just trying to make a point, if your not going to release the update on the attended dates as mentioned then shut up about it seriously.

Two things I hate in life 1. A lier, 2. A thief

Did you see an announcement by your carrier as to when it would be available on the Note 4? If so, can you point me to it? (It matters not what Samsung says, they can't push it out.) If you didn't see an announcement by your carrier then why the grief?

I think Samsung just makes it available to the carrier who can choose to molest it and send it out, whenever it's convenient for them. I don't think the carrier has any obligation (or a lot of motivation) to send the updates out at all or in any kind of a timely fashion.

Am I mistaken? Does Samsung have a contract with the carriers for the carriers to push out updates in a specified amount of time?

Your Nexus 4 doesn't have an SD card slot, so of course you don't get the changes for the SD card under Lollipop. For those of us who do want more ease of use with the SD card, its kinda big. And, I bought the Note 4 knowing that it would see Lollipop. So, while *you* may not be 'missing much', especially when comparing the Nexus to the Note, there are some features that many of us want.

I heard the delay is due to Oculus...the company that makes the VR headset that is paired with the Note 4. They can't put out Lollipop without having the VR work as well. So...now early march is what I am hearing....

So my Dad hates the Gear VR because it makes him want to puke. lol. To me the Gear VR is all about using my phone as a source of intertainment. Wether I am using it to watch a movie, play a 3d game, or walk through a VR park or room or the Cirque du soleil, it is all converting my great phone to an immersive device of great intertainment.

ENTERTAINMENT

May The note 4's be with you

Don't expect it...but be surprised if you do

I second the feeling that while looks are pleasing, the functionality is what's most important! My phone's running so smoothly, really not looking forward to (possibly) having a bunch of glitches to deal with!

Ya my Note 4 is running just fine with 4.4.4. Even when the update is released I will wait until it is stable on other phones.
