From CES 2015, Mike Fasulo, the CEO of Sony Electronics, announced that the entire Xperia Z series will get Lollipop next month.
Are you guys excited for it or no? With the new Lollipop update, you guys think we will receive the simultaneous voice and data with it too? Will this update also unlock software features that our phone were supposed to have (FM Tuner, Location-based Wi-Fi, etc)?
What do you guys think?
Edit.. because i am an idiot and realized what board I was in.. oops.
I'd expect Verizon to take a little longer with the update considering their history with other phones.
In terms of features, I doubt you'd see any of the missing features being introduced. If verizon wanted to give us FM radio they would have done it in the original release. Voice and data, on the other hand, are expected to be in this update
Now would the Lollipop update itself fix the issue with simultaneous voice and data? I was under the impression that it would need to be an update on the Verizon end. Verizon will probably delay the Lollipop update by a few weeks to work their software updates into it as well.

Technically the VoLTE or Advanced Calling 1.0 feature is a separate update, but it is highly likely Verizon will be working that update into the Lollipop update to minimize OTAs so close together.
Something tells me Sony is also working to get the OTA to start at 5.0.1 right from the start. It would be nice if Verizon is already working with Sony to include all of their junk.
Otherwise, we might expect the other Sony devices to get their update in February and March, and after Verizon takes their sweet time with excessive testing and adding in all of their junk, we might be lucky to see an update by April.

So true, Verizon has a history of impeding updates, adding bloatware and locking the OS.
Funny Verizon adds the bloat and we try and remove it, why waste their time and money adding it if they know we are just going to remove it, makes no sense, but we are talking about Verizon here.
Just think of all the millions Verizon would save if it just stopped adding bloatware in. Knowing how greedy Verizon is you would think they (Verizon) would stop and reap the profits from it.
Lollipop being used with the Bravia TV, in one part of the video you see they pull down the lollipop quick settings

Meh, I'm happy with the update. I'll flash the new one when it comes out too, but this is running smoothly for me.

Of course, it's better. However, you'll likely have to flash back to stock 2.1 JFD as I'd expect to you won't be able to update directly from JI5. Even the JI5 update forced people to do that (for example those that were on JI2 / JI4), I'd expect more of the same. There are those who have no problem doing this and that's fine. I'm just warning those who aren't / might not be.

Fine there are Odin official tmobile images over in bible sticky and take a min to flash
Yea you lose programs settings ...ect but IMO its better to start from scratch when using new updates. And not run into intermittent and compatibility issues like what seems to be going on now with allot of people
but yea this update works great no problems whats so ever for me

Thanx, but I sorta needed that working GPS last week, not soon. Besides, "soon" is such an evasive term.
This makes me recollect the June 8th outing of a policy statement by Cole Brodman, Chief Technology Officer @ T-Mobile titled "No Phone Left Behind". It was in regards to assuring owners of the HTC Mytouch3G that they'd be receiving a Froyo update.
Nearly four months later and zip for the MT3G from Tmobile or HTC.
Maybe I'm wrong as my knowledge of timelines is from the inside of my addled head, but I do not believe T-Mobile has had a successful OTA of *ANY* Android phone in their stable this year at all. It's not the most encouraging development. (I do recall the Behold II 1.6 OTA, but it was eventually pulled for bricking phones....and led to me getting my Vibrant for free from T-Mobile before the official Vibrant launch...long story).
Granted, T-Mobile does not develop firmware, so they are at the mercy of the phone manufacturers. Still, if there's any issue that is at the core of Android angst, it is this one.
Just so I don't come across as a troll, I love my Vibrant. Compared to the Behold II I had and every other smartphone I've had it's leaps and bounds ahead of them all. I just get irritated when P.R. and "spin" get out of control...
Of course, this thread was a warning to the people who hadn't yet flashed JI5 / Kies and were still uncomfortable with doing it. Obviously, it's not people who are (already) comfortable. Knowledgeable people are certainly free to ignore and flash away.
This is BS. T-Mobile... how soon is soon? How long have we heard there would be an update to the MyTouch? I cannot and will not wait around for them to OTA anything. I will be very shocked if I get an update in the next month. I know i sound a little pessimistic but who wouldn't?
This is nonsense, installing this update does not prevent me from ODIN to any other firmware. I went directly from JI4 to JI5, so whoever said that I cannot do that is very confused.

That's because you ODIN flashed it.
Kies looked for the JFD product code, then gave you the option to update.
Lol how ironic that they don't want you to flash the firmware because it has 'known' issues. But the firmware on it has bigger issues so hmmm

I can't fault T-Mobile for wanting to try to stem the tide of potentially bricked phones and clueless noobs calling in for support, though.

OTA could brick it just as well. Would it be Samsungs first OTA update for Android or the first OTA ever?

True. I'd like to think the probability of bricking over OTA would be lower. Since it would be an official update they'd also likely be / feel more obligated to provide whatever support they wanted to.

Hey all,
As some of you have already noted, an update is available for the Samsung Galaxy SII.
The update includes fixes for devices that may become unresponsive and/or power down while sitting idle on rare occasions. It also enhances security to protect against malware vulnerability. You will receive a notification on your phone to update.
NOTE - You must have updated to Android version 4.0 to receive notification of the new software update

Had my hopes up for JB even though I know the phone will not get it from AT&T.
I guess it is good that they are still trying to improve the phone.

There's at least as much cya and marketing motivation involved as anything else.
I previously rooted and flashed Siyah 4.3.3 which resolved my issue with the sleep of death. This seems to prevent this new update from installing as when the phone reboots it shows the Siyah boot image and then boots back into the OS, when I unlock the phone it tells me that the update failed to install. I'm not in a hurry to install an update that resolves something I've fixed through other means, but I thought I'd share for those interested.

You really CAN'T accept them if you remove system bloat ware or change kernels far as I know.

This has been happening to me for the past few months, on more than "rare occassions" though. I never knew what to call it until I saw people on here refer to it as Sleep of Death. Yep, sounds about right. And it would rapidly drain my battery when it happened.
I've successfully updated, so hopefully this will take care of it. It gets VERY annoying! And all the much worse since I use my phone for my alarm, haha. I have my wife's as a backup though.
Anyone pull the modem yet?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
I'm only a curious now, about whether this fixes the SOD. After hours on the phone with ATT and Samsung, and a few factory resets and a new phone, it was still doing it. And each time I called them about it, they'd say they were not aware of such a problem. Anyway, not an issue anymore for me, since going to Task's AOKP ROM, which got me so many better features than an ATT update ever would have - warranty or no.
The only reason why this OTA was pushed was because a ton of users were posting this issue on the ATT forums for 4 months straight. Even then ATT pushes an OTA for 4.0.4 instead of using one of the many 4.1.2 firmwares from Samsung.

My understanding is that it is up to Samsung to produce the firmware, and because it's a carrier-branded device, I have a hard time believing that they'd do that unless instructed to.
Really? You think Samsung is the one making the decision? Its really the carrier.
Can someone pull the modem from this update? Pm or post a download link once extracted please.

those on verizon, open playstore, search "moto camera", update
not sure if everyone knows about this. found it last night.
shows "bug fixes and performance fixes" and then upgrade to work better with moto 360
haven't tried it out to see if any actual improvements were made though. supposedly the pure and some other carriers auto updated, but not vzw devices.
Got it on Verizon when everyone else did here.
Thx, i got it too.
Thanks! It was released on the 9th and no update waiting for it. :-/
So a while ago, I replaced the board in my Verizon Galaxy S4 and installed the newest OTA update, then preformed a factory reset. This update has really made me hate my phone. Signal Strength, battery life, speaker volume, performance and even the camera are all now terrible thanks to the most likely poorly tested update. I've been trying to push through it until another update gets released, but I don't know if that's going to happen, and looking at all of the previous updates for the S4, I'm not sure I want it to.
With all that being said, I'm really curious about what I can do to reverse some of the damage. I've included a screenshot so that the exact details about my phone are available. I know things are looking grim, but please show me the light at the end of this tunnel, I don't want to buy a new phone when I can still get a lot of use out of this one.
You cannot go back to any of the old updates. What you can do is Root, and use flashfire to get:
-Stang's ROM(stock debloated deodex with tweaks)
-Muniz_ri's STOCK deodex
-Giglie's Super6(s6 port)

Thanks. I got this with following message for update:
--Enhanced 5G upload and download speeds
--Stability Improvements
--General Bug Fixes
So I just got the notification for the update and figured why not. Well I get 'Installation Problem' when I attempt it. Now perhaps this is because I have the sim and bootloader unlocked? I am not sure but one more reason I am really starting to regret buying this phone with T-MO. I would have just shipped one in from Germany with the EURO ROM since I REALLY need dual sim setup. Having had two previous OP phones I figured, no big deal I will convert it over to dual sim. Well yeh, not so much. Looks like my last OP phone.

I've heard if you get the bootloader unlocked you can't get OTA updates. I know you can get the SIM unlocked even though it's not paid off and still get OTA updates, as I accepted the update with no problems at all.
