Marshmallow for A5 and A3? (2015) - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General

Hi guys, I've found out that A5 (2015) will receive MM quickly (http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/smartphones/galaxy-a/SM-A500FZKUBTU -> see updated manual), and what do you think about A3 (2015)? What the chances are for this phone? I'm actually A3 user, I didnt think I'll have MM here, but know.... I'm not so sure Let me know what you think about it!
[EDIT]
Lol, there's updated manual for A3 either!
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/smartphones/galaxy-a/SM-A300FZWUBTU

Woah... I sure hope so. It could make getting a CM13 ROM much easier. The existence of the manual for the A3 sure points to it.

Great news, finaly will get marsmallow on A5 and A3 2015 soon

well, I'm not 100% sure though, but what was the other point of updating manuals to MM version?

You right, if manuals is updated to MM then will be MM no dubt and i guess soon as possible

Well Galaxy J5 (2015) is receiving MM update now and has almost identical spec. to A3 (2015) so I hope so

Sorry when im say this,but why the hell all want this official update which is bloated,in my opinion ugly,because its touchwiz and outdated because of near android n update,confusing,we have 6.0.1 roms and except FM radio its perfect and much better as the stocktrash,more customizle and better to handle?I know yet comes the answer from crying users about: my warranty is gone when im flash etc,but not in german or in the most europe,its not break ur warranty,just look my thread in q/a section about my camera which was broken,ive send it back with knox 0/1 and custom rom and have become my phone some days later back with new camerahardware on warranty,so chill,its all good,its samsung.thanx.

Because the A3 doesn't have any good CM13 ROMs, and this would make it easier to get a fully working one. We have mygalaxya's ROM, sure, but it has a lot of bugs and doesn't even boot in certain variants of the phone.

I tried AICP11 few month ago. AICP is one of the best ROM in my opinion, but for me the lack of HDR camera and GPS sporadic functioning was enough to drop this ROM.
I saw others ROMs has some bugs like screen freezing or touch unresponsive and this is another reason not to update (YET) to custom ROM.
I came on Samsung after many years of HTC and on HTC custom ROMs I had never found bugs like that I mentioned. I mean all ROMs in that area were perfectly running android versions and the challenge was who are more customizable or better looking or faster...
So it's not a matter of knox or guaranty. A stock ROM is a fully working ROM and a custom ROM must meet at least this requirement and after that we can speak about how much is customizable or energy saving and so on...

No problem I'll keep an eye on this stuff and let you know if I notice any sign of update if anyone will, share here with that info please. Btw I'm former Galaxy S3 Neo user and I'm really suprised knowing the pain of Samsung updates. But, lets wait what we'll receive I'm wonder which version of TouchWiz will we have, it's really a difference between galaxy J5 TW (5.1.1) and my A3 (2015, 5.02), dont you think?

2.2 official update from samsung

Does anyone know when the official froyo release from Samsung is coming out to north America?
on a Samsung Galaxy S.
He's new he doesn't know.
at OP; Try not to post these kinds of threads because people here can get pissed off EASILY.
a Froyo 2.2 update is unknown for us currently, but most people suggest you use a custom ROM after rooting since we already have Froyo on here.
Hey, at least he didn't ask in the Developer sections! To me, thats a complete win!
In addition to what xriderx66 said, you can also find Tmobile and Samsung on Twitter and can ask the question directly from the source.
I wouldn't put much stock in it since according to one of their posts from earlier in the year, they now only have 5 days left to get Froyo to carriers.
Truthfully though, it's anyones guess if/when it's actually going to happen & I"m sure even Samsung doesn't even have a clue.
Since we have some decent leaked ROMs, I'd prefer for them to just drop froyo completely and get Ginerbread working since it has some improvements that will help the Hummingbird processor (as seen by the performance of the Nexus S).
At the very least if they started working on it, we'd eventually get some leaked Gingerbread ROMs

one reason I THINK that theres a BIG delay in the froyo update is JIT optimization for hummingbird. since google already optimized JIT in 2.3, i'm figuring Sammy could be finding a way to make it backwards compatible with their touchwiz froyo.
OR
samsung tweaking the froyo update for tmobiles approval
as far as having froyo by the end of the year, i would LOVE to be shown an official samsung document that actually says US carriers will have froyo before years end. the only thing i've seen does not mention Tmobile US Vibrant specifically.
Guys, sorry for the question. Ill make sure not to post anything before reading posts LOL. For those who responded to the topic, thank you! That's what I thought about the update, I'm almost selling my vibrant and maybe go with something else like the mytouch 4g or the nexus s.

i SUGGEST you stick with vibrant the only thing wrong with it is the GPS(works for most people now anyways theres a fix) and the update, which there ARE custom roms.
but if you MUST get a new phone, get a nexus S.
the mytouch is just.. horrible.
Thanks for the advice. My phone is rooted, but I don't have a custom rom installed. What 2.2 rom do you suggest?
on a Samsung Galaxy S.
Nero V3 is a very good and stable ROM imho. They are all very good in their own way, but I loving Nero right now!
here's a better question:
why does it take the manufacturers months and months for any form of update, while developers here release something new daily?

Because theirs goes through tests, go through carriers, and usually has about no major bugs.
The devs use roms made by The manufacturers...
Don't make fun of manufacturers their the reason your phone exists.
At op
try one of these most popular and fast roms.
Axura
Ginger clone
Or
Nero

Thank you guys. I'm gonna try Nero I guess, based on your feedback. Ill keep you posted on how it goes. Thanks again
on a Samsung Galaxy S.
go with nero it wont disappoint! im in love with it, it gets amazing battery life! 10+ hours on moderate use! and also its blazing fast!
Xrider, I know you are just a kid... But you've told people to shut up twice in this thread. Santa not bring you what you asked for? Bad joke.. Just saying let's try and be respectful.
I agree with the others, just flash nero v3.

Whats up with the notification bar?

I have no clue why or who ever in Samsung development messed this up, but when you stream flash videos in full screen the notification does not auto hide. To me this is completely unacceptable as it ruins the possibility of "full screen" and it can actually damage the oled in these phones.
I think this fix should be a MUST for any developer currently making rooms for this phone. The only from currently that I know of that fixes it is Cyanogen.. but I do want a stable ICS and oh boy can't we all dream of a perfect aosp from... dreams of super fast clean friendly user experience...

And you feel that you can issue demands to the devs because...?? Why are you so special?
Why be a dev if your goal is half ass roms? The only thing I'm wondering is why has this not been addressed by the community? Why is this still "OK" and why are trolls immediately the only ones present in this forum?
There's a Q&A for ya..
Its funny how you think my suggestion is un warranted. I just desperately want to ruin my phone with burn in right?
It's not your suggestion, it's your attitude.

AS said above, it looks like your are running ICS which is in beta and has not been officially released, you are complaining about an unfinished, unofficially released BETA rom.
You may need some time of reflection and a lot of reading to understand what you are doing......
Why be a dev if your goal is half ass roms?
You answer your question yourself why build a rom based on a half assed buggy beta release .
Put in a very simple way . Why waste time on a buggy beta build that may be very different come release day .
When ICS is released and if a dev thinks its worth fixing your problem i am sure they will .
jje
OK it sounds like no one understood , I will attempt to explain this better. This is NOT an ICS problem this problem is with EVERY rom including stock update strait from Kies. I went as far as contacting Samsung to get a fix, but as you can see in my profile I live in the US and the US Samsung will not help me with my UK phone. Why everything between us is so divided beats me but still the issue remains.
As I stated currently the only rom that fixes it is Cyanogen but just as JJ stated why use a buggy beta when the release will be much different/better. Also I am currently running ICS and have not encountered a single bug. Everything works perfect except for Samsung's stupid attempt to burn in my screen. I don't know about everyone else but I paid $580 for this phone and the last thing I want is a permanent" 3g" on my screen...

Then give us more information. Saying that streaming videos don't go full screen is no where near enough. What ROM, website, browser etc are you using because the last time I tried this (Not long after the S2 was released) it worked just fine. I tried a 720p video from megaupload and it went full screen just fine. Same with youtube/youtube app. Give more information, not attitude. Also, i'd wager than there is zero chance of your display burning in a 3G icon. Perhaps the full notification bar if you use MIUI/a white or light theme but I highly doubt the majority of people will experience any burn in, never mind such a small specific burn in.
Fair enough.. more info. I usually run completely stock and decided to play around with ics. A main site I stream with is twitch.TV (I am a big starcraft2 player and use the pro streams to get better) while I'm at work I watch for hours sometimes 7 hours straight. This WILL cause burn in.
When the problem occurs:
Watching ANY true flash video online(not YouTube app) while in full screen mode in any browser or Rom besides cyanogen.
If you don't believe me test it yourself. Go to twitch.TV pick a stream let the video load and click the full screen button. If you have a rom that the notification bar disappears let me know and you won't hear.me "moan" anymore.
Or maybe one of you super nice Brits can call UK Samsung and get an official fix. The number is 08702420303.

Download the diff, check for relevant changes (there's not many for fullscreen) and mod your own browser. Before you ask, I'm not going to hold your hand on this one, and am not willing to do it for you either (I don't use an ICS ROM).
Not asking for any hand holding or hand outs for that matter.. one last question can it be done completely from the phone?
Actually nvm that browser mod will not work with ics. Even states in that post "should be comparable with 2.3.x roms.

Sure it will, you just have to be willing to put in some work. Namely, as I already said, downloading the diff, checking for relevant changes (I think there's only two changes relating to full screen) and getting them into your Browser.apk. You're probably going to need to do some reading.
Judging by this part of your post:

Kitkat Features !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In a leaked report from Samsung India showing various mobile due for KitKit goodness. The Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 is listed in the report that it should get the Android 4.4.2 update this month (July). The leak also shows that the Galaxy S III international LTE version is not going to get the Android 4.4.2 update which is very disappointing.
This update will bring tunnel audio, a translucent style interface and immersion mode to the Samsung Galaxy Grand 2. The fact that these updates are still rolling out on 8 month old phones is great news for owners. It also shows that Samsung hasn’t given up on these mid ranged phones and not pushing them aside when it comes to updates.
This update schedule might differ somewhat due to the different carriers own update schedule.
Below is a list of the new features this update is bringing to the Galaxy Grand 2.
White Status Bar Icons
Camera Shortcut on Lock-Screen
Wireless Printing
Album Art on Lock-Screen during Music Playback
NFC tap-to-pay support
Options to set default messaging and launcher apps
Transparent status bar
Better stability
Improved Ram usage
Smoother Interface Overall
Samsung Wallet
Emoji for Keyboard

New leaked screenshots show that Samsung’s testing the Android 4.4.3 KitKat update for its Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S5 models. At the same time, Samsung’s continuing to push out the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update to its other devices. The GS4 Mini LTE and Note 3 Neo devices are still behind in the testing stage, but Android 4.4.2 KitKat updates for the Galaxy Grand 2, Galaxy Mega 5.8 and Galaxy Mega 6.3 are in their final stages – which means users of all three devices could see the most recent update to Android KitKat sometime soon.
So We might have the kitkat update soon ! But I'm not sure about the 4.4.3 update ! Derz also a chance that Grand 2 might get the Interface of S5 through this Update !
A Update list was released in April but now most of the tests seem to be completed !
It is Reported that Grand 2 and other devices are going through the final testing !
More things to be updated soon !

In fact, had you bothered to actually read the article...

It's another view but I also think LG trying to fix old mistakes with Software Update part, It would be good if we could get Android M also
Generally firstly korean versions get update than int. versions get the updates. It looks like fake but I hope we get the update.
Btw if this update really exist the version number shouldn't be v40 should be v3X(except v30, exmple v35a for 5.1.1 update. if we get android m update it should be v40X)
It's normal that the baseband is the same as 5.0.2?
Mmm i don't think that LG would update an old phone like G2

Your aproach make sense but on the article they stated information came from Korea. From now we have to wait and see

Yes it's an old phone but we shouldn't miss the point that it's still a very powerful phone and has a good hardware.

In screenshots.it looks like they would gonna update our G2 to 5.1.1 with Full LG g4 UI as well as our 5.0.2 with g3 UI.i am sure LG would gonna provide us both LP and android M updates besides our chipset is enough powerful to handle android M easily.
Also AndroidAuthority released an article 2 hours ago: http://www.androidauthority.com/report-lg-g2-lollipop-5-1-1-622537/
I'll believe it when I see it. My Canadian g2 is still stuck on 4.4.2. I have to pick between good battery life and camera, or up to date, nice looking software on my nexus 4.

What makes you say that? First of all the update to 5.1.1 isnt a drastic overhaul and is needed to fix bugs that are currently present in 5.0. An android M update would require more work than the 5.1.1 update.
The only reasons we probably won't get android m are:
1. Too much work to update to M because of drastic changes
2. They could have decided to just leave the LG g2 with lollipop, which is fair given the 2 year period since release. Most phones don't get updates after a 2 year period. Except for nexus.
They should rather skip Android Lollipop 5.1.x and go straight to Android M IMHO.
Doing a 5.1.x release for the LG G2 is a waste of time when Android M is already around the corner.
At the time they will release a 5.1.x update, it is probably going to be outdated already because Android M will already be available...
So, LG, if you are reading this, please update the LG G2 directly to Android M instead. That woud be much better.
Regards

Shame on LG, it's their bad, I hope they will correct their mistakes

It looks as if if our Canadian variant is abandoned permanently on 4.4.2 with no plans to update it, so I doubt any of them will get m

Hope they will release 5.1 with full G4 ui
I dont think that the canadian variant is only the fault of LG. The telecom providers don't even know when their own devices are getting updated and cant provide valid information so we should blame both or none.
Btw if this is true then it will be the v40 update. I didn't knew any other LG device yet which got updated higher then v30(2 android version upgrades) ofcourse excluding nexus series.

Is this ROM compatible with the rest of the 2017G phones or is intended only for Germany?, because for example, in Spain they have a B09 which other countries don't have.

Thanks for answer, too bad we couldn't get Nougat on January, but let's hope the developers can wipe out the most bugs they can.
Every OEM has been having troubles with the Nougat update, even Google with the Nexus phones, and some of them have even rolled back globally the whole update after some days of release it.
I just hope to get a stable nice update, no matter if it take a couple of weeks later.
Thanks for all the information!

It is still undergoing beta testing, I assume you would like a bugfree version right? Then be patient!
Can someone pull the ROM or take a logcat to see the link - thnx !
adb logcat > A2017GB10.txt
do it BEFORE ota update
I can confirm they fix the broken lock screen.
Now it's just like before B08 that broke that.
Good job by ZTE.
Hope next month for as much bug free Nougat upgrade.

Stop complaining? Why? I can understand you, but If they announce it several times and don't deliver something...is it not their own fault? Just saying...no hate. :angel:

Can you explain more about this?, I don't see how the lock screen was broken or buggy, I haven't had any problem yet with it and I'm still on B08.
Maybe something I haven't noticed yet?.

When you get notification and pull it down, it should stay down, however it goes to the top of the screen and small.
This is fixed in B10.
