I am in California, how long till they push the update here? Anyone else in Cali get it yet??

Where did you find the update I just checked for an update and it saying that there isn't one available
and I'm running 4.4,2

eddy I have the same, depends on where you are in the world to when it's released. There is a list somewhere, I forgot to save it though so can't direct you to it.

All firmwares can be found on sammobile.com

From what I've found its already rolled out here in the States but I'm not going to be getting it any time soon because I have an LTE Tab S 10.5 and they only gave the update to Wifi only Tab S 10.5 tablets now I'd tell you what I think of that since I paid extra for the LT E but then they wouldn't post this comment

 

[nics_stuff]

There is an article on sammobile says it is for the LTE version though.

Normal version is still pending for Australia, still !!!

 

[eddyjones420]

Yeah that's what I have they rolled out the 5.0.2 update here in the States to the WiFi only Tablets

 

[eddyjones420]

Yeah thanks I found the article it seems that the States are not on the list at the moment for the LTE 5.0.2 update Canada is and I think we were the only one's to get the Wifi 5.0.2 update (although I'm not entirely sure about that)

So it could be a very long time before I see that update.

Thanks for the heads up

Hoping it comes soon to my VZW Tab S 10.5 but I think there's a better chance of me successfully planting a money tree...

Do you no when the tab s 10.5 lte will get the update

The only list I've seen is on Sammobile and if you're in the United States like me we are not on that list .

Canada is but that's the closest one so far

I just got a Tab s 10.5 recently, still with KitKat, and now it has the update files for Lollipop. But I am still unsure about updating, although most people say a lot about good performance gains, I also see other ones complaining, specially with a significant battery drain.

Other think I dislike about the Lollipop is the too "whitey" interface. I prefer the darker theme, suits better in my opinion. Wish there was an option to keep it like that, without any rooting or other procedures.

What I was wondering is this: if I update it to Lollipop and then I do a factory reset, will it come back with the KitKat the came originally, or it will now come with the Lollipop? I ask this because I was thinking about trying this (since I don't have much files and apps yet, so a factory reset wouldn't be so critical), but in case I observed any performance issues I could reset it to the original state and keep it like that.

Thanks

A factory reset will only delete your personal data stored internally, like pics, music, videos, downloaded apps, etc. but not the installed OS, doesn't matter if you are on Lollipop or KitKat. I must have read hundreds of posts where a lot of people actually recommend doing it after a major update.

Thanks for the information, didn't know that. I haven't seen much people recommneding that (factory reset after update), the most I hear is to make a backup of all files and stuff, only as a recommendation, since it is said that updating the OS won't delete the files.

Anyway... I'm still in doubt about updating... I feel afraid that I might be on the group that will have a bad performance after it, would be a shame just after purchasing the tablet.

EDIT: By the way, let me ask one other thing about factory reset... I have the update files downloaded, and they are not small (like 1GB). If I factory reset, those files would be deleted? Then I could deactvate the automatic update checking and only download and install it when I'm comfortable with.

Is you're Tabs s 10.5 a wifi only version or LTE Version if it's LTE who are you with and are you in the States?

I don't know if a factory reset will delete those update files (I doubt that it will but it's worth a try) because I've never been in this situation. I always disable "automatic updates" on all my devices for this very reason and prefer to make my own decision when it comes to updating the OS. I know this option may not be available depending on the model or carrier. I had Lollipop on my phone and was not very impressed with it at all.
