So today I read that the galaxy alpha is on Samsungs short to list, for receiving the android m update. Great news I guess, for alpha owners. I thought that support for alpha also was discontinued, with the decision to stop distributing alpha phones. Perhaps they mean a3/5/7 as in galaxy alpha series, I'm not sure.

A series has nothing to do with the Alpha.
I'm not surprised we will get the android M, I would be furious if we DON'T get android M!
The alpha is an almost flagship, it's introductionprice was high enough so it deserves at least 18months of updates.
:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::crying::crying::crying::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: seriously????
Like i thought, great news right?

Good if we get 5.1.1
You should hope that it will be available next year. We all know samsungs update policy. I think minimally a year after the official google release
And i'm still sitting here with 4.4.4
I got the SM-G850F with Vodafone, Germany
Is there anything that i can do?! Thats so annoying
Looks like the rollout of lollipop has stopped. the last firmware released, is already a few weeks ago. (maybe because of bugs/issues?)
I think the first 5.1.1 will come soon now.
today have 502 update for 850W for more provider

Download 5.0.2 firmware from Sammobile and flash it with Odin.
I'll bet my soul the Alpha won't see M before Summer next year, it one of the forgotten phones from Samsung along with the Note 4 that now only just getting 5.1.1.
Tbh i wouldn't be suprised if they turn around at a later date and say the Alpha won't be getting Marshmallow.

You are talking nonsense.
They alreay said that ALPHA will get Android M in 2016 second quarter.
Search google for the SAMSUNG official list with the models that will get M.

Samsung will never tell us that development for our loved SII is dead, but what do you expect ?
We got Android 4.0.x and 4.1.2, thats already fantastic for a 2 year old phone, soon 3 years...
Stick with 4.1.2, buy a new phone (i suggest nexus ) or flash a costum rom.
No it wont, never ever

We can only hope and see. It would be amazing to see if samsung really does it, cause its been 2 years and the phone is still getting updates!
I'd love to see the S2 get the update......but I doubt it will happen.........
As another poster said.......the model is nearly 3 years old now....it's also 2 generations out of date (S3 &S4)......I'm sure the phone is capable of running the update, but I'm also sure that Samsung isn't going to continually update an older phone and deprive themselves of income generated by purchases of newer phones. The S2 has been updated more times than any other phone (cmiiw).....but now (I read somewhere) that they've ceased production of the phone, it wouldn't surprise me if they ceased support for it too........
Sent from my Alliance powered S2 via XDA Developers App
So I presume that means you'd like all the Knox crap/locked down bootloader then ?
No.....if that happens my next phone aint gonna be a Samsung......and from what I've read about knox, it shouldn't affect the S2 anyway as the S2 doesn't have the knox efuse built in to it.......
Sent from my Alliance powered S2 via XDA Developers App
The thing I don't understand is why people keep believing those rumours. First 'they' said 4.2.2 would be the final update, then 'they' told us Samsung would skip that version and would jump to 4.3, and now both of these things didn't came out, and suddenly 4.4 would come to our device?
Like said before, the step from GB to JB was already quite big, so don't expect anything more from Samsung.
I don't understand why people get hard whenever a new firmware drops. Let's face it, Samsung's firmwares are complete/utter crap. What people should be getting barred up about is when sources drop. Sources allow developers to make better roms. Samsung releasing new firmware minus sources = so what ?

Why still GB? There are official Samsung Updates for your S2. The latest one being 4.1.2. So go for it bro!
actually I don't mind if Samsung released 4.4 for this phone, even if they didn't we will always have custom roms .In my opinion, Samsung is a great company it has supported this phone for a long period of time.I think that this phone is better than some phones being released this year and I wouldn't like to get another phone( I dont think its time to upgrade )
when is kitkat upgrade coming for LG G2 here in united arab emirates?
price of LG G2 is going down here in UAE and an upgrade to KK would at least make the early buyers happy
I believe in January they said on there twitter it will be coming out next month (February). We are now in March.
please see the attached
This was what i received from LG when i asked them the same question. I don't understand why on earth they take this long to push this update just putting this ota on their server. It's really frustrating. The reason i abandoned Nokia is repeating. Please update me if you get any good news on or before the date on the attached.
yah i know its kinda frustating when other countries started receiving kitkat OTA updates...while here in united arab emirates, there is no clue even the stores and LG sites dont even know themselves when it will come...
to add more, the price of LG G2 has gone down by more than $100 in just 2 months....while S4, Note 3 and even HTC One prices has remain stable....
come on LG make us happy by giving us KK
if the updates begin to roll out keep the grup inforned
Well noted.
but I think no posting will be required. everyone has his finger on 'check now for update' button. :laugh:
honestly, I check for this update minimum 10 times a day.
End of April !!! How come ?

An update was released today for my UAE D802, it's D80210F, any idea what's the changelog? I'm on D80210E!
We're still getting JellyBean updates while other ppl are getting KK. But anyways KitKat have an audio bug which I'd rather stay away from.

Kitkat when will it happen???? LG wake up...
All over the World Kit Kat released by LG, But Middle East countries still waiting for update. So LG plz tell us how much we wait for update.
Kitkat update started rolling out in UAE
I got kitkat update for my G2 yesterday. The download size was around 550mb.. And i must warn you, i have some issues with the soft keys now. When using some apps the soft keys cover a little portion of the app too.. I think even while watching youtube the keys dont go away!!
Other than that evrything else is fine. When i updated my s4 to kitkat i got about 300mb of ram freed up. But thats not the case in G2. The RAM usage is still the same as jellybean.
The positives are, camera focus seems to be better, the knockon is much more responsive and the notification bar is transparent. So overall good update except for the soft keys.
Lemme knw if anyone else got it.. Cheers!!
5.11 have a bug of power consumption.
If i recall right it took almost 6 months from sony to update z1 from kitkat to lollipop from a lollipops release day. And there is no quarantee that marshmellow will give you better battery life.

Network standby costs a high percentage of the battery, find some solution that need to modify the adb to fix it, it is very complex.
The z3c was updated in March.
End of December if you ask me. Telstra will give the z4 tab update in january so it is safe to say that we will get it in December
I'm betting on a January release timeframe but this is not based on any source. We do know that they're already testing Marshmellow on Z3 and Z3c models in limited beta so at least we know they've already started.

How does Telstra (Australia) have anything to do with the general Z5C Marshmallow ETA, unless they are your Telco?
The other 99.9% of Z5C users will have zero interest in when Telstra decide to "give" an update anything.
Hopefully non branded Marshmallow will arrive prior to the end of the year.
Bruh. Branded firmwares get the update AFTER the unbranded ones usually. So that's what I meant. So Telstra giving an update does matter

Come on...
He shared that information to estimate a possibility range for the Z5C.
If a carrier is going to release 6.0 in January for another Sony device, You could assume that the OTA for the Z5C/Z5, current flagships, (in general) will be before January.
Sent from my E5823
Sorry, Being a bit harsh. I wouldn't rely on a Telstra estimate thats all. If the Sony OTA is delayed, Telstra will simply kick the ball down the road.
Yes that's also true. Since the carriers doesn't have the final word for an update.

To be honest, you're not missing anything ground breaking although I must admit almost everything that's different is a nice change. My one big exception:
Y the truck did they switch which side they put the time on? Ridiculous.
That said, the upgrade was the smoothest I think I've ever experienced for any OS, desktop or mobile, ever.
I run the Nova Launcher and the update has not interfered with that at all. So my preferred tweaks, apart from moving the bloody time, have all been preserved.
Perhaps the biggest promised feature I'd like to think will be legitimate is battery saving. No real indication of any ground breaking changes there so far though it's only been 24 hours ?
I do understand that it's not fun to be kept waiting and feel a bit left behind.

Got it in Hungary on the 7th as well. Unfortunately the update includes a crippled version of the Dolby Audio app, which has no EQ anymore (WTF???) So make a copy of the app before the update.

It was a false alarm. anyway. The EQ was always there, but only shown, when your your earphones were plugged in. If you disconnect your earphones it disappears right away.

A few other things, but so far, so good.
Beware the update posted in Asus's website is for Japan SKUs of the phone.
Did you get an OTA update on a different region or are you using a JPN ZF9?
I got OTA for phone in UK
Cant wait for it to be available from their website, i was so stupid because i unlocked the bootloader in an attempt on custom Roms. Didnt go as planned so i just reverted to stock rom, however now i dont get OTA updates..
Hoping they fixed the Bluetooth issue were the phones battery would get EATEN by "others" in the battery usage graph.

It must have been a typo, because the date of the firmware didn't change (31/3).
I was checking it for days and it was for JPN only and today they changed it to all regions.
