Looks like Samsung may release LolliPop to our beloved Note 4 sooner rather than later.... but how long will the carriers take before turning it around for us?

:good:
I will be shocked if we see it before April 2015 on AT&T. Samsung will have to massage it, then AT&T has to bloat it.
I hope I'm wrong.

I'll probably have sold the Note4 before it gets lollipop.
In 6 months of owning the S5, it was never upgraded to 4.4.4

4.4.4 has only been out for 4 months, you think you'd have it already on a carrier specific phone, and samsung at that? and with 4.4.4 being a minor update?
By the time 4.4.4 released, Sammy was already well into working on 5.0 Why do the work for a minor update when you could just go straight for the big release?

And? That means nothing. What is it you think you're missing out on with the 4.4.4 update? In answering that 99.99% of people are going to have to look up what the update even entitled.... Can't complain about not getting something that changes absolutely nothing in your phones functionality / aesthetics / UI

I was shocked when Verizon released it, they are usually really slow. ..
And to answer Techsavvy2's question, in Verizon at least, the GS5 4.4.4 update fixed many Bluetooth issues that were present in 4.4.2. But I agree with Tech's point in that new for new's sake is a little pointless.

I hope we see it before the New Year, although I know the odds of that happening are almost nil. I also hope Samsung adopts the new aesthetic as much as possible, though their current version of Touchwiz is much better than previous versions.
Hope so. Not going to hold my breath waiting though.

Yeah it's pretty bad. You have to wait to let the ad load before the page will let you scroll downwards. I experienced the same thing. Give it 10-15sec to load and hit the X in the top right, then you should be good
Sorry about that

Thanks and I hear you, the news sites seem to be the biggest offenders.
At least it is good news
Hopefully as stated earlier in the thread it holds true for AT&T. Maybe they will realize with such a big OS release that people will want it sooner than later.
I have a feeling AT&T is going to delay it for at least a month while it figures out what features they want to disable to add in their own bloated, pay to use version of it !
Why is it called lollipop.....suckers.....
So maybe now a nexus 6 is looking good?
Good.luxk getting one.

For anyone else who loves the new design eLements, there is a great post here that allows you to install an L themed google keyboard for non-rooted devices. I must say, I've been using it for several days and I love it!! Totally appeasing my need for the new style.

Did anyone see this? Looks promising, i hope a dev can make a stock rooted version!
To be honest, id probably flash that update. Im in Israel and i have yet to find someone with a Java card here. Stock isnt horribleeeee but i miss Cyanogen/AOSP
Stock isn't bad at all if you disable all the crap. I'm pretty much resigned to the fact we're not getting root.
I have root. Dottat is only an inbox message and a shipping charge+donation away.
Ok, a hundred people or so will have root. Which means there's not a whole lot of development that will be happening, so I'll just live with stock.

I disagree, it takes time to get things going. Most the Developers (that I know of anyway) that are on Verizon have gotten their phones S-OFF, and are working hard to bring us the goodies. It will only get better from here, and those who are patient enough or don't feel like shipping their devices, will have all the goodies waiting for them, as we are working hard getting the ball rolling. It will only keep getting better and better. Even if SunShine NEVER brings support to Verizon, their any many amazing people with Java Cards who are 100% trustworthy and depending how you ship your device it can be back the same week. (I personally sent my phone out with $400 insurance on a Monday, and the phone was back in my hands by Wednesday - It was on it's way back to me with a tracking # before I even had time to see if the phone had made it!) 100% worth it, and thank you again @dottat!

i appreciate the encouragement. ive considering learning how to.compile, but i dont know programming and id assume id need to know that. if its a situation of placing files in this directory and that directory, and changing paths in this code and that....i can probably do that.
Anybody knows of camera update ..is it only firmware or software for it to work. Example is the international builds we are running latest build but not firmware. Somebody told me we need firmware to see change on camera,but a really can see a difference in camera quality without the firmware

i have no option BUT to wait. i dont know of any place in Israel who has a JAVA card. i could probably take the update and wait longer for whoever comes out with the exploit for the current sw to come out with an exploit for the update. i havent decided yet. i really hope someone finds an exploit. this update does sound very promising

That's actually a valid question. It's the main reason for most of us to be on xda. To get something new for our device.
As long as it hasn't been asked a few times before, I don't mind it.

I am sure it is possible, but my time with HOX is slowly running out. After 3 years with this great little device it's time for me to move on.
Here is why I think it can be done: 1 2
I have started patching the hox to the point where I can build the ROM and the kernel, but it does not yet boot.
Everything is here, for anyone to play with. May need just one small patch more ... may need a lot of further patching. I guess a lot!

NO @teemo don't leave the hox you are the last developer here. Where you think to go?
Lol, luckily there is no new device i really like, so I will hang on to HOX for a while. What I want is a phone that doesn't look like iPhone or sammy. M7,8,9 are okay, but I want more than 5 inch and form factor should be something like G3. A9 would probably be fine, but a bit too small. 9X will probably be similar to A9, if I decode llabtoofers tweets correct. M10 might be interesting, let's see. But if it keep M789s display xy proportions it's a no go.
Well, back on topic, time is my worst enemy and it's not getting better. Currently I'm settling with SlimKat, that does everything better than lollipop except occasional freezes on videos. Want to check out AICP or RR or... , but...... time.
Ah, almost forgot to mention, if nothing cool pop up, Lumia could be the way to go. I like the new one.

The lumia950 is indeed amazing!
But stay away from the G3 and G4 they have a giant problem that is called a 2k display...
These new high resolutions chokes up the gpu to the point that smooth gaming/vr are impossible and to the point where even scrolling is laggy.
RR freezes ALOT (it returns after a few mins) and just stops responding to everything(even the power button) especially while browsing.
Have you thought about z5 compact? it got a 720p screen a super camera and an extremely powerfull gpu but it is small.
form factor like an LG... How about a ZENFONE 2?
ps: What is a 9X? never heard of that phone and about the A9 you just said: "something that doesnt look like an iphone..."(even though the iphone looks like an htc and not vice versa )
The m10 will be great if it will maintain its 1080p display.
YOU ARE AWESOME! thank you for everything you have done on this device!
I think too that the one x is a fantastic and damn durable phone(drops frequently never broke and still without a scratch after 3+ years) its just the new phone's batteries are what i envy, (7+ screen hrs vs my 1.5-2 hrs)
I got a spare HTC One X, even tho I'm still a noob at being a dev but I sure learn pretty fast when i'm interested in things.
I'm going to play around with build it for a bit.

Sorry X9 but 2G RAM and 16G storage, its not my new phone.
Will definitely have a look at ZenFone. Looks like Zoom is about to be released, lets see if the camera is good or sucks. Looks interesting and with 4G RAM and up to 128G internal it has potential. Not sure about Intel though.
They won't add M for this device...

I thought it's coming with 8.1, hope Google releases them with security patch. Would be better.
I could care less about the color boost. I use immersive, so the nav change is moot for me.

AFIK, VoLTE can only be enabled at 8.1. This update is still 8.0 so there's no VoLTE still. As for the color options, I still prefer the more natural colors.The boosted is fine, just a tad bit more vibrant than natural. But the saturated mode tho! The reds really pop, almost to the point they hurt my eyes.
Here are some pics btw (left to right: boosted, natural, and saturated)
Except for galaxy S4 for a year, I used exclusively nexus devices since the Nexus one. Perhaps I am not that used to the vibrant colors of samsung devices, I actually had no problem with the old natural sRGB display before the update. Just updated few hours ago and I changed the display settings back and forth...... and yes... I agree the more saturated display usually does look better, but it's also a bit fake to my eyes
I'm wondering if I'll get that update since I'm on 8.1 developer preview?

We don't know which area this release is targeted at, we are guessing. Possible guesses:
1) It is for US and EU
2) It is for EU, US to follow later
3) It is for US, EU to follow later.
My guess is 1.
Normally, I'd be all over this, but with such a vague listing, I'll wait it out a little.
Well at this rate my P6P will be on eBay soon, can't be doing with much more freezing and bad signal
Is this the same update that I've just received which is about 41.3mb?
