I just had a software update on my Note 4. It was about a 160 Meg. Thinking is was Lollipop 5.1.1.1 but after it was done... Its still at 5.0.1. Is there anyway to know what update was installed?

I received the same software update on my note 4 as well. Wondering why they would push this one before 5.1 and now wondering if we will still get 5.1.

I'm hoping we still get it also. I wonder if there is a delay with 5.1.1.1 so they updated us now? Not sure

The biggest thing was the security fix. Something about the phone being vulnerable when on open Wi-Fi networks. All the carriers pushed it.
We'll hopefully not get 5.1 but 5.2/6.0 (M) instead since the next update will mostly likely be its last.

I got it on VZW about 2 or 3 weeks ago, it was a large update but did little. If anything, drained my battery faster

According to an article I read last week Samsung is working with the U.S. carriers to push out 5.1 on the N4 (& I think it said the S5 & 6 too). I take that to mean Samsung wants 5.1 pushed out ASAP to those models. What if any effect that will have in how quickly the carriers actually release the update remains to be seen. Apparently Samsung has done their part in optimizing 5.1 so now it's on the carriers to do theirs. My single biggest problem since the Lollipoop update is my speaker phone apparently sounds very garbled when I answer a call using it. 5.1 can't come soon enough for me, AT&T acknowledges a number of Lollipoop related problems and says they're counting on 5.1 to solve them. I sure hope that's the case. BTW, you'll know from your lockscreen when your phone has 5.1 because the upper taskbar area icons will be back.

AT&T is all go for a fix but not until they make sure it won't affect the bloaty bloatware.

Downloading it now. I know the Verizon ones got an enhancement that made the fingerprint scanner work with Exchange. I don't see any mention of it in the AT&T changelog above, and I don't know if MobileIron would support it anyway, but here's hoping.

Download servers are running at about the speed of a good 28.8K modem hookup. Good thing I don't have any meetings I need to attend for another hour... LOL

For those who took the plunge and upgraded, has it resolved the freezing and the FB crashes? I know it's a security update but as the new OS optimises apps, I was hoping that those issues would be resolved.
