I see we should be getting an update, but I don't know anyone who has it yet.:highfive:
I don't think they released ours yet. According to Phonearena, Verizon is updating S6 and S6 Edge at the moment.

This is the reply I got when asking for wi-fi calling and Marshmallow:
Having the most recent updates and features is something I always look forward to on my phones as well. At this time, we do not have any information as to if or when an update will become available for the S6 Edge +.
That's correct. No release date is yet known or planned.
Seems like it keeps getting pushed back. Typical Verizon

I got the download notice today.
UPDATE: Installed Marshmallow update. So far so good. A few differences but nothing glaring. Performance is about the same after I disable some services.
One thing I don't like is that I have PIN entry to unlock the lock screen. This update makes me swipe AND enter the PIN after I turn on the device.

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

What a complete waste. Sprint just pushed 4.1.2 to their gs2.

By rare, they must mean multiple times a day... hope that finally fixes the problem...
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 shouldn't accept OTA updates unless you are 100% stock.

You really CAN'T accept them if you remove system bloat ware or change kernels far as I know.
Hopefully it fixes the SOD problem. I was getting ready to call or go to AT&T and demand I be let out of my contract.

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.

Ditto here. 1080p option gone.
What a ****in joke this update was. The only thing that changed was they took away that 1080p option when we all have a 1080p phone.
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

So, if and when we get Lollipop and say there is no root for it, who upgrades to lollipop and who stays on rooted KK? Is there something on Lollipop you feel you must have, e.g. Advanced calling or do you like root and xposed more?
Fortunately, to date, they haven't prevented us from rolling back to the earlier firmware from the update and hopefully that will remain the case for lollipop so we can try then flash back to KK if we don't like it.
I honestly don't care for the brightness of Lollipop, so as long as I can stay on KK I will.
Waiting patiently for lollipop. Root is unnecessary in my opinion.
I would wait and see who got lollipop first with root being granted. With root right now, I can take 15/21 MP superior auto, louder volume mods, and freezing some apps with Titanium.

This is concerning that neither Sony nor verizon have said anything about us z3v owners. Some vague references but we should have received more information by now. It's strange but still real happy with the phone.

Advanced calling does nothing for me while root, xposed, and tethering without carrier checks is everything. I can answer calls while tethering because they ring my hangouts number or make calls over lte with hangouts dialer
Hey crew.
So I've searched high and low for information about the 6.0.1 update for Z5 (Compact). I've seen news pertaining to a global rollout for the Z2 and Z3 series, and have read that there was a plan for it to be released to Z5 series soon (these articles were back in early April). However, anything relevant for the 6.0.1 update on Z5 series has been vague information. I haven't found anything on the forums relating to this topic.
I was curious to see if anyone knew anything more about the 6.0.1 update for the Z5 series, or had sources to link to?
-----
Also, I'm curious to know what everyone's experience on 6.0 has been so far for Z5 compact. I've seen a lot of mixed reviews, mostly negative based on bugs and issues relating to Wifi, External Storage, Google Play Services crashing, etc. Then I've seen other posts saying these things have been fixed, while others are still waiting for a fix. So it's been a lot of conflicting information, and I've remained on Lollipop (on AT&T in the US). So are there fixes for these issues, and is it worth it to upgrade to Marshmallow in the meantime?
I've not had any issues that I can think of. 6.0 has run fine, however since I rooted I have had issues.
Firstly I have Wi-Fi issues. This may not be due to root but my phone definitely isn't as good at retaining a good connection. This occurs when I'm at university walking about and the phone is connectecting and disconnecting from different routers. I don't get any Wi-Fi issues at home though.
Secondly, I'm victim of the "Fingerprint hardware is not available" issue that you can find in another post. Many consider it's an issue with the dose function since it affects some Nexus devices. Mine seems to break daily, but I've given up using it for the mean time. This is the main issue I have and want 6.0.1 to fix.
And finally I've have random slow downs and non responsiveness here and there, but nothing too serious. Sometimes all but the nav keys go unresponsive, so I have to lock and unlock. But this is hardly an issue, just an annoyance.
I've also looked around for 6.0.1 info and websites are all vague and unreliable. I like the phone but it's in a constant state of "this needs to be fixed" which I fear won't be for another few months. Sony are pushing their X range right now so I'm afraid that the Z5 is already being neglected. However I think their lack of update may mean they're trying to get it right this time round. All we can do is hope and be patient.

Something must have changed, though. I didn't have this issue with the original firmware, my phone stayed connected to wifi with screen off. This changed with the update to M. I'm noticing this very obviously, because I hear the GSM or LTE signal noise via my unshielded monitors, which is annoying as hell, when my phone is just lying on the desk.
Do you, or someone else, know, if Sony acknowledged this bug? Because if they're not going to fix it, this will be a reason for me to switch the phone.

32.1.A.1.163 is for the Z3+. It's the same that the Z5 also got at some point depending on your location/provider.

In case of the Z5 Compact, 32.1.A.1.163 was the first Marshmallow firmware released in early March. 32.1.A.1.185 rolled out a month or so later, apparently to fix bugs.
Personally, I haven't run into any issues with Wi-Fi or fingerprint reader in both Marshmallow firmwares. I'm happy with what I have, but 6.0.1 and a more up-to-date security patch wouldn't hurt
