yup, it might also have new radios. i can't wait to take it apart. ^_^
Wow! That took forever for global abilities become official. At least it's a newer version than the current global ruu.
Here's hoping everyone takes the upcoming update and some roms are re-based (if needed). now that this global ota is receiving a full release it should make things a bit easier. I still cant believe in the threads there are people still running gingerbread firmware.
Does that mean we'll be seeing better data support when on other networks?
It'll be better when they drop kernel source for the global update. I can't believe this OTA is coming nearly 10 months after the leak. Completely ridiculous. What incredibly valuable piece of crap did Big Red have to add to the mix to delay this?

Lets Golf 2 was probably the culprit
Got my update about an hour ago. It was over 200 megs.
What all was updated? Still no clear list online anywhere.
Any one know where to manually download the update as I no longer have Verizon service.
Were any of you who got the update running the global leak? I'm running it and not sure if I should expect to receive the OTA.
I have the Global leak and haven't seen the update yet...
My gut tells me I won't, so I will have to wait until it gets release here somewhere.

I noticed a weird new keyboard installed called "DioPen IME" after I did the update. I think it has handwriting recognition and some Asian language integrated (no offence).
Also just noticed that my screen dims after 15 seconds of not touching it no matter what my display settings are..kind of like during long moments of inactivity during navigation, weird...ok figured it out, it's only when the battery is under 20%.

I'd be very curious to hear from anyone trying out GSM support after this update. Will a tmobile sim work in the phone (give voice, txt, data without special mods to the rom)?
Anyone that took the update would be so kind to share the dump please

Well.. I rebooted my phone and when it restarted it started an Android Update.. I freaked out and pulled the battery cause I'm running ViperRez right now.. Started the phone and it didnt try to update again.. somewhere I should look for the file? Or is it gone?

Stock 4.3 is nice, fluid, fast, no lags, reboots faced yet (not sure what feature u were referring to)... And thanks to xposed, i've got almost everything i otherwise get from aosp roms.. excited to finally have the headphone button working again.. never worked on any aosp builds... And i was on stock rom for just a day after I'd bought the phone 3 months ago. Bloody annoying to take this huge phone out of the pocket to change tracks while riding a back.. Wonder why no one else ever said a word about that nonfunctional button.. Guess no one else listens to music on z ultra..
Cant believe we'll have to just sit n wait for Sony to bringout kitkat.. With krabappel gone, n the gpe hype fading away n with the rest of the dev communities like cm or pa or even fxp not really giving a ****, i guess sony n xposed modules are our only hope for clinging on to this magnificent beast of a phone.

Not yet... As I always updated twice....
1. Update via PCC.
2. Make my own FTF and clean flash...
To verify random reboots.... I enabled SIM PIN so that it will stuck on PIN entry screen... Lol...
Sent from my C6802 using Tapatalk
I'm on 4.3 installed via Sony Bridge some days ago and haven't had any problems since.
No random reboots at all. As a matter of fact, I think I powered it off just once to see if the boot animation had changed.
I have sound problems with the SBH52 though, as it doesn't trigger the SBH52 app when connected, hence not working right away giving commands from the headset itself (solved by uninstalling updates and re-update the Smart Connect app).
Also hearing a lot of clicking and noises while playing music, either with Walkman or Play Music.
No issues while talking on the phone. I guess it's a matter of updating the SBH52 app or the Smart Connect app.
If, and I repeat IF, this new update brings KitKat I hear A LOT of other brands fanboys screaming and throwing themselves out of the window... XD

I would guess it is a hardware issue with your phone, you'll have to send it in for repair - should only take a few days or a week at the most :angel:

No good reason except to keep up with the latest and greatest. It has a couple of nice features but is still a little buggy according to several threads I've read.
I'm staying on 4.4.2 until 5.02 comes out to fix some of the little bugs and Xposed module is stable and works correctly.

Good idea. I did the upgrade and immediately my battery life was cut by a quarter. Instead of going from 6am to 11 pm I now have to recharge by 3pm. Samsung, of course, doens't have an answer. I did a factory reset and that didn't have an effect. One support guy told me to wait til the phone 'adjusted' to the new OS. It's a phone, not a living thing! It works or it does not. And because of some mojo stuff the update did to the phone rumor says you can't go back to KitKat.
I'd wait until this is worked out before I upgraded.
If your rooted try changing the governor/scheduler to Powersave and CFQ ..
My battery life has doubled.
At 10pm my phone is still 50 to 60 % left.
Also turn-off animations and De-bloat it.
Not rooted so that's out. Did all the rest and still bad battery life.
The good news is that Omega Rom is coming out with a Lollipop version shortly. That's the Rom I've been on for years over several different devices and their releases are pretty stable. So I'll give it a shot when the new Omega is released.
I went back to KitKat yesterday and my battery life is excellent again. I'll think long and hard before I upgrade again. All things considered equal if your battery doesn't last any additionally functionality is a waste. Poor move, Goggle.

I'm getting better battery life on Lollipop and like it so far. ::Indie:: does a great job with the Omega ROM. His Lollipop ROM is no exception.
I don't really like the white background on everything but I'm sure there will be themes out shortly.
I'm really enjoying lollipop. Running http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/development/mods-lolliozop-t3036068 everything customizable and smooth. Only missing xposed
So I have tried almost every thing to fix the lag that came with lollipop 5.1.1 my phone locks up and becomes completely unresponsive . Until I reboot. Often when I'm browsing and the phone rings I am not able to answer it and end up rebooting the phone and calling back the missed call. I was about to revert to kitkat when I decided to try removing my micro sdcard. I opened up a lot of apps YouTube Facebook Twitter etc. And had my wife call me twice. So far no problems and no lag. If I can get by for a week like this with no issues I will just live without the sdcard. Otherwise I go back to kitkat
I'm noticing the same thing on 5.1.1 and I haven't been able to isolate it. I thought it might be a corrupted app so I downgraded or reinstalled frequently used apps. Still testing. Downgrading to KK isn't an option for me because I want to be patched for stage fright. I wish they would release a KK rom that's patched.
According to the stage fright app 5.1.1 is still vulnerable.
hey ashraf sharif i've been going thru the same thing it is so annoying to have to take back cover off then batt because phone won't respond also i had to disable volte because some phone call will not ring my phone they would go straight to voice mail turn volte off fix that problem. the other thing i notice with the upgrade when you take a picture and you want to send it usually i would select the < with the 3 dots=share via and then i can pick message it no longer says that. only choice now wifi bluetooth i made a back up of 5.0 might go back to that later on today

Yeah. I hear ya. The Lookout app says I'm not patched either but I thought it was well known that OG6 patched for Stagefright. So I'm not sure I trust the Lookout app. Anyone else know for sure?
i dont remove the battery i just press vol down and home and power . this reboots it. removing the sdcard helps alot initially but the longer the phone is on the buggier it gets. im going back to kitkat
doing a ob1 right now from scratch getting tired of turning phone on off on off will leave it on ob1 until a better approve working update is put out
I'm back on nk2 kitkat towelroot. My phone seems like new. Lollipop simply demands more ram than the s5 has . This happened with the Motorola atrix when ice cream sandwich was released. Motorola decided not to upgrade the atrix . A test firmware was leaked that was extremely Laggy and drained the battery in less than half an hour. Every android phone I had ran better on the earlier firmwares. I Will Wait Another 8 Months Till My 2 S5s Are Paid Off By that Time I can get the s7. The thing that kills me is I'm not even debloated on nk2 and it runs with no stutters and freezes at all.im just glad the phone is stable again

I have the exact same issues! I was really hoping I wouldn't have them, but I do. Just started happening 2 days ago. It really really pisses me off! They should have put 3gb of ram on this phone. The note 3 has 3 and this phone came out after it. Either way, I am not happy at all! I'm going to try a couple different Roms from the international section and see what happens. But this isn't working. :thumbdown:

I can report that after a few days of use the phone is much more responsive. All the lag seems gone.
I'm having nothing but problems with the S5 and lollipop. Major lag even after Turning down the animations. I'm using my M8 right now, and it's day and night between the 2! Samsung really dropped the ball on the S5 lollipop update. The phone should have came with 3 gigs of ram. Nuff said!

I've spoken to samsung and t mobile about this lag. They both made it seem like I'm the only one with this problem. Good thing I know better.
yea just like they ashure me that they fix stagefright but every app i tried says vulnerable and not to worried also have you notice that when you take a picture and go to the top to pich share with it no longer has message every thing is either wifi this or that .but back to your question yes i went back to 5.0=OB1 firmware

I've not noticed any changes since updating - other than a newer kernel build (8/10). The camera app still seems quite buggy - that's the only issue I've experienced so far so can't really comment on anything else.

It's mainly SlowMo videos that struggle - sometimes they crash the camera app or don't play back correctly. My front facer is perfect, I'm really impressed with it.
