Optus testing Nougat for the Galaxy A5 (2016)
Samsung recently confirmed the Nougat update for the Galaxy A5 (2016) along with a bunch of other A series handsets. Australian carrier Optus has now begun testing the said update, with the commercial rollout expected to begin by the end of January. The phone is currently running Android 6.0.1.
Going by this revelation, it’s possible that the rest of the world will also see the update around the same time, although nothing can be confirmed at this point.
The Galaxy A5 received a security update to patch to what was considered a “critical flaw” not too long ago. While the company didn’t publicly announce what the critical flaw was, it was relieving for the customers to know that it was fixed for good.
We are looking forward android nougat for a5 2016

Samsung Rolling Out Android Ice Cream Sandwich To Galaxy S II This Month
Mar 05 2012 06:03 PM | mobile_sensei in Articles
South Korea consumer electronics giant Samsung has unveiled that its current flagship Galaxy S II handset, will be receiving an update to Android ‘Ice Cream Sandwich' 4.0, mid-March.
The company made public this news over Facebook, from their Israel SamsungMobile.IL account - reports Android news website Android Authority.
This Google mobile OS site has noted that "March 15 will be the release date for the Samsung Galaxy S2 upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich", where the Israeli version of the Samsung Galaxy S II is based on the international version.
The site goes on states that it's safe to assume that the new version of Android platform will then roll out globally, as a result of the mobile phone variant used in Israel.
Android ‘Ice Cream Sandwich' OS was seen on a number of new mobile phones launched at Mobile World Congress last week, but it is really only widely available on the Samsung made Galaxy Nexus, manufactured for Google.
ICS marries the mobile phone version of the operating system, with aspects only once found in the tablet ‘Honeycomb' 3.0 platform - where this deployment by Samsung could placate those awaiting the Samsung Galaxy S III, which never made an appearance at MWC.

thats the international version bub...not ours

still all referring to the 9100. not the i777. You could probably discuss it with the folks over in the 9100 forum, who will actually be getting that update though.
Not really new news, not a question of if we get it but when. Samsung has said for the last 2 months they will roll it out to our phone "late first quarter" which would be March. Real question is if we will be subject to carrier delays.

Please keep garbage rumors off this board.....please.
Back in late October, a leaked document had given us a look at the update schedule for the Android 4.3 updates for various Samsung devices by major US carriers, including the Galaxy S4. Now, a new document obtained by Android Police has revealed that the Galaxy S4 on carrier US Cellular will begin receiving the update from November 8th, starting from 9 AM in the morning.
The update – build R970TYURMJA – will add support to the Galaxy S4 for the Galaxy Gear, improve performance and display quality, add new camera and TouchWiz features, KNOX functionality, and more. Also accompanying the update will be a newer Kies version, so for those using their computers to upgrade, an update to Kies might be required as well.

This update has nothing to do with the SGH-I337. I know there isn't a forum for the US Cellular variant, but you should title the post of this thread accordingly. If you have a Galaxy S4 on US Cellular, then you model number is SCH-R970. The i337 is an AT&T only variant.
It probably makes more sense for this thread to exist in the Galaxy S4 international forums.
I dont understand what this has to do with the ATT galaxy s4 variant.
Yeah, move it to us cellular please, I got all confused

I put this update off until yesterday. I wish i had continued to put it off as this update is a hunk of garbage. My phone has rebooted over 20x and constantly crashes when playing games, and any other hardware intensive application.
No I am not exaggerating.
I booted into recovery, wiped 3x to hard reset it and still have these issues. I am now looking at a custom ROM from this site to install.
Do not install this update if you can avoid it.

Samsung officially responded to this. According to the information provided, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S5 will unfortunately not receive the Android Nougat update. It should be noted here that Samsung has made a special campaign for the S5 and Note 4 owners to pass on to the next generation of devices, while the tests show that their performance for Nougat is inadequate.
According to Samsung official information, the Galaxy E series and the Galaxy Alpha, the forerunner of the A series, will also not receive the Android Nougat update.
maybe they will skip 6.0 and go straight to 7.1.1 for the Alpha, just like they skipped 5.1.1 lol

Stop dreaming.... samsung really does not care, note the note 4 is strong and very capable phone, and samsung claims i can not handle nougat, samsung is a joke, my first and last phone from them, a 2014, 600 dollar phone stuck at 5.0.2, i am really dumb.

clearly you did not understand the joke, but even though a joke and even though Alpha users have lost their hope as long as Samsung doesn't confirm that they will not be releasing an update for ALPHA there is place for hope, I mean the S5 Mini finally got it, we're next.

sorry, I always get a little angry in the morning
Samsung disappointed me very much.
I bought a premium smartphone and received only one update and remains far behind with version 5.0.2.
Note 4 is still powerful enough to handle nougat, but Samsung will not update it due to business logics
My last device from samsung.
Its february 28th and im not still getting update on s6
Not quite sure what this thread has to do with the galaxy alpha and it seems to be turning into a sammy bashing thread so I'm going to close this up

I just noticed Samsung released the August security patch for the S6 edge and the note 5.. what's going on with the S9 plus ? I've received 2 software updates since it's launch and I'm sitting on the June security patch.. any answers to why it seems like Samsung is abandoning the S9 line ?
