Nope. In Canada we don't get many updates. Same firmware since Sept 1st on this phone.

Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth
Well, I got the Huawei Watch just 4 weeks ago because I asked if Tizen still doesn't manage the notifications as in Android Wear (removing them in phone and watch) and after a couple of days waiting for an answer the only person that answered told me that it was just like before, just delete them on the watch, so I went with the Huawei, then just 1 week after that Android Central posted a review of the S2 and the first thing they mentioned was about how it now deletes notification in both.
So, I decided to look for a regular S2 (No sense on having 2 "classic" looking smart watches) to have a sporty and casual one, long story short since I got the S2 I didn't even turn the Huawei Watch on again, just sold it this Monday. With the profit of it I bought an S2 Classic and just received it today and man, this watch with Mr. Time Maker app and a classic and elegant watch face like the one I'm using (Tag Heuer), simply best and more gorgeous Smartwatches on the market, the UI with the Rotating bezel is just genius.

Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth
So far i like it a lot. Butter smooth....fluid....no complaints. I wanted the gold but I felt I would eventually get tired of it at some point so I got the black one. That V10 did catch my eye though lol...I must admit.

The V10 looks interesting. But I think you made the right choice.

Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth
I have to say thank you like truly, i have the same problem you do i have an ipad mini 4, galaxy s6, iphone 6s, and nexus 5x.....
i have the same problem i have been using an iphone since the 3g and have kept playing with android devices since the mytouch3g, i love both i love the flexibility of android and my options but i love the app quality and tbh the curation of the app store in finding good quality apps, also the apple care on my devices and apples customer service really does mean alot. I own a nexus player, and 2 chromecasts, and 2 apple tvs. My wife does not understand why i want to just pick one ecosystem and stay with it, i like to buy apps, movies, and tv shows, i want all of my content on one platform i don't want to keep being multi platform. I love and heavily use google services.
So while i cannot help you with your decision because i am stuck myself i am happy to see im not alone.

Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth
It seems like there are a lot of us. Part of my problem was that I wouldn't stick with a platform long enough to be fully engrossed in it and to really appreciate it. So I really wanted to just choose something I liked and really give it a chance. That's what I'm doing now. Went all-in with the Note 5 and I'm going to stick with it for a whole year. If everything goes well, I will be getting the Note 6. If not, at least I gave it my full effort. And I would have saved a lot of time and money in the process. The last time I kept a smartphone for a year was the HTC Tilt. that was back in 2007. Since, I haven't had a device longer than 5 months. I have had over 40 smartphones in 8 years. That's a problem. And when I consider the money wasted in accessories, restocking fees, early termination fees, taking losses on sales, and upgrade fees I cringe. When I think about the time lost researching new phones, going back and forth to the store for returns, and trying to setup and learn new devices I also cringe and find myself disappointed. That's why this is so important for me to get a handle on. I literally used to get into arguments with my now ex-wife about this stuff. Friends and co-workers would tease me about it. It was bad. I had to end this cycle at some point. And that point was now.

Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth
Onto the second full day with the Note. Love the phone. Everything about it is great. Except one thing. The battery is brutal. I was definitely spoiled with the 6S Plus for sure. Yesterday took off charge at 6am or so. Had 30% left around 3pm I think. Left off charge overnight. Had to top up again at 7am this morning. Looks like I'm gonna easily charge twice a day. Same usage patterns as my iPhone and I would charge once every 24hrs or even longer.
Hopefully the battery is just settling in more with indexing. Took off charge like 30 min ago with 17 min screen and 95% left.
I do use my phone a lot. I run two business and have 2 separate emails syncing. I am constantly on the phone. I also have a Samsung Fast charger for the car. At least that will help.

Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth
Yeah I know that for sure. Obviously android has a lot more going on in the background. At least it has Fast Charge and can top up in no time. After have the Note 5 for 1 month and then the 6S Plus for 1 month and back to the Note now I can really see the Note 5 totally mops the floor with the iPhone. Pretty much no comparison. Been really enjoying it

In my experience, with a Samsung, you will suddenly notice you are getting great battery life, it just kicks in.

Yeah I kinda remember when I had the Note 5 the other month and the battery got much better after 4-5 days.

Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth
. I just loved the simplicity of being able to sync between all my devices. The only issue was not being able to do what I wanted to do with my device without having to jailbreak it. I'm a app developer of both and I found that Android gave me more freedom to control a device that I paid so much money for. So in short I'll stick with my Note 5 and sync with Google drive across devices.
I too was an apple fanboy

Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth
Seems like a lot of people share your same reasons. I was really never into tweaking my device. That's why the iPhone never bothered me. It being "locked down" isn't an issue. I just think that the Note 5 is a superior smartphone. And I must be completely falling in love with this device because when I think about other devices like the iPhone or the new Nexus, I'm having a hard time understanding the draw. But that's just me
