I wanted to make a separate thread so people can share their experience with the new MM. As a former N910A user, I am curious to see any performance improvement and new features! Thank you to Shanghai.Knight for letting us know!
Yippee! It's about time. First question in my mind is: Will it be possible to Odin back to lolipop, or is it a one-way upgrade like kitkat to lolipop?

This is a big win for our community; we're getting the right partners internally to be able to communicate quicker (in this case, before it comes out). This is the start of something great.
I hope @GLIMMERMAN76 will speak to this, but I don't believe we've ever been able to tell our community about updates until they're already released.
The update will be available starting tonight if you're manually checking for it. Our team is reporting that the download server will go live around 7pm EST.
Tomorrow morning however, the update will get pushed to your Note 4.
One last thing, if you're on the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge (SM-N915A), you should be getting your MM update the same time as the Note 4"
Lmao @ big win
No, that would have been a decent win... if we didn't wait a whole year for MM to hit our device

Please let us know when any one of you get the update! I sold my phone few weeks ago so I will not be able to check out N910A's MM myself.
Just check at 7:30 and still says my software is up to date..

I'm just wondering if it is possible to get the phone for 350$ in Canada. It isn't available off the play store, and every mobile store ('ve found/checked) has it for 599$
Is there anyplace to get it?
nope, canada sucks (this is coming from a canadian) we're still on 4.0.1
you can only buy from the google store if your in the U.S
your best bet would be to try negri or expansys
It's $413.09CAD ($406.14USD) at Handtec (out of stock but should be back soon?)
It's $439.99CAD ($432.59USD) at Expansys
It's $458.20CAD ($450.50USD) at Negri Electronics
Not $350, but definitely not $599 anymore. They haven't been that expensive for a few months now.

Well you can flash your device to yakju and get Google updates. You don't have to stick with the firmware the Canadian carrier-sold phones have.

Sigh.
It takes 20min total to download Fastboot/ADB, install drivers and flash the images. It is literally the easiest process of any phone available. Saying "I don't know how to flash" is saying "I'm too stupid to read a step by step guide or video".
Then you get updates. Stop complaining, seriously. You have 2 options: either you care enough to know there are new updates and you flash yakju (or custom ROMS), or you are fine with your stock firmware and you wait for the slower Samsung updates. Sure it'd be nice if every phone was yakju, but its about as easy as it can be to make yours one.
Or you can buy an HTC Amaze and know that you'll never get another software update. Your call.

where to buy gNex in canada?
I'm visiting Canada (Toronto) for 12 hours in mid august and I wanted to buy an unlocked Galaxy Nexus there..
I can't get it delivered in that time obviously, so can someone tell me which physical stores should I try? Also can you tell me some location where I'll find these stores close to each other?
Also do you guys think I'll be able to get it for 350$ or a similar price?
As usual, and with much envy, us Canadians are way behind the rest of the universe in receiving updated firmware.
Has anyone heard rumors as to when the Multi-Window update will hit Rogers or any of the other Canadian operators, now that AT&T (which I believe has some affiliation with Rogers) has rolled out it's update? Or is it time to take the plunge and install a custom room (clean/jedi)

Yes, I agree about the disheartening part. They won't even tell us about their strides to get Multi-Window. I was watching YouTube videos before and they really sold me to the Note 2 on the Multi-Window. This phone is awesome, and it's a shame that we won't be able to get multi-window yet. AT and T already has it.
I'm not about to root this phone yet. I don't feel I should. It works perfectly now and there always seems to be a solitary problem after rooting.
Ill give you one reason to root so you can use directory bind. 16gb doesnt go far and not being able we to move apps to a 32 sd is enough reason. Whats the big deal about rooting.....

You are right, but I did root my Galaxy SII in the past, because of battery life. It fixed the battery life, but my WiFi and Data went wonky all the time after. There are no problems with this phone except missing Multi-window. That's why. I hear you though. If you've already rooted your phone, kudos to you.
this didn't happen so removed....

I made the move to CleanROM a month ago to get multi-window and discovered a bunch of great features. You wont be disappointed.
I took you advise and it was the best decision I made. Cleanrom 4.05 is fast, feature rich and stable.
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app
I'm using Note-Orious Prime ROM. I kept my Note 2 stock for about 2 days then rooted and flashed this ROM. Funny thing is I had no clue about the multi window function of the Note 2 until I saw a commercial after flashing.
I suggest this ROM if someone is looking for a stable close to stock one that also has multi-window and functioning Samsung S-Pen apps. Everything seems to be functioning. Glad I took this approach after reading this thread and knowing how the combiation of Samsung and Canadian carriers tends to leave customers "in limbo''

this pic told us that we could expect the 4.4.4 update in november 2014
but now it is january 2015!
now i dont know: will this phone really get android 4.4.4?
it would be cool if it does get the update, because than we would able to port more note 4 apps =D
and my hopes for android lollipop become completly lost, even though the note 2 will get it

Only beta in koria
Samsung phased a roll-out for the Marshmallow update, with some devices receiving it in South Korea at the end of January 2016. Other regions and devices had to wait a little longer with updates still being pushed in March 2016.
With so many devices to update, Samsung tends to be a little slower. At the moment, the company hasn't committed to a timeline, but it's thought that the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge will be updated to the Grace UX - as found on the Note 7.
It has been confirmed that the Nougat update for the Galaxy S7 will be the full Android 7.1.1 version.
Samsung has started a Galaxy Beta Programme for Nougat, meaning this in US, UK, Korea and China can test the software on the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge.
The T-Mobile network has confirmed some Samsung devices that will be updated at some point, including: Note 5, S6, S6 edge, S7 and S7 edge.
I would definitely prefer a downgrade from this 6.01 but if people report much improved battery life by heavy majority I may wait another year or so before upgrading.
I vote for a change in the title of this thread. Each time I see it I get a false sense of hope that AT&T actually released 7.1.1 overnight.
