Note 4 and 5.1.1 Update end of July?

[Kelly Kearns]

M will never come out for the Note 4?

Sure it will, probably same time next year as Lollipop was planned/did this year. Most likely it will come out for the N4, 1st quarter of 2016.

i'm waiting for the 5.1.1 update because i heard that the update would come with the new version of touchwiz that is on the Galaxy S 6/Edge, the new version has some new features like Themes and Screen Grid (change home screen grid from 4x4 to 5x4), but since i live in New Zealand I wont get the update until September/October

^^^ Those would be some cool new features. I'd be happy to see the grid increase to 5x4 in TouchWiz. I know it can be done with Nova, but I like using TouchWiz overall.

Hopefully the update will fix the Lollipop issues

Anyone have problems with Facebook locking up Note 4 since lollipop 5.01

Definitely! But the FB app has always had issues before the Lollypop upgrade, too. I wish they'd fix their app.

Does anyone know if 5.1.1 will have a radio update. My phone signal is killing my battery in rural areas with no 4g coverage

Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4!!

I don't know if it will. Have you asked your carrier about a signal booster? I don't know what Verizon calls it, but AT&T calls it a microcell. It attaches to your home Internet and works like a minicell tower in your home. Some carriers and some stores make you pay for it, some give it to you free. The local AT&T store gave me one for free when customer care wouldn't give me one and wanted to charge me $200.

No I haven't asked them yet. I've heard t-mobile gives them to customers sometimes. I don't see Verizon giving anything away lol. But it's worth a shot!

Also, even $200 or so can be worth it. I ended up canceling my home phone and had I paid $200 for my microcell, I would have made that back in less than 6 months in savings and then save more every month after that.

Did you contact your carrier and what did they say?

You're probably right, but that would be annoying.

Just got this phone and I'll be getting a new one in June. Lol. Was really looking forward to the battery improvements with M on this device. Oh well...

The current flagship device will never get the new Android version before the next flagship coming out..

Of course, but that should be right around the corner. Assuming no delays...

Generally, the new flagship is released 4th qtr and the roll out for the previous flagship starts 1st qtr, as long as some issue doesn't pop up. It starts then, not in the US, because carriers also have to test it, etc. We can start getting the update on the US, 1st or 2nd qtr many times.

Okay, I just read this Android Lollipop 5.1.1 update from Verizon, but will see when it does.

Of course the Vzw Mobile Living doesn't (DOES NOT) state when.
