Anyone know if this is likely to happen or if it is already happening for the Verizon variant of the Note II? Would be cool get on 6.0
We're still waiting for 5.x, let alone 6.x, lol. There have been rumors floating around for 5.x, but I'm not holding my breath.
marshmallow on note 2
Marshmallow wont come to note 2 and lollipop wont either. Samsung cancelled the development. so looks like Note 2 has reached its update limit. I think Nexus will be my next phone as they seem to be fast on new software updates.
Who needs um ?
Just run custom stuff. I'm on 5.1.1 right now and I'm sure it won't be long before 6.0 ROMs show up around here
People who are stuck on 4.2.2.

5.x ROMs are really buggy on the N2. And I've tried them all. Always kept coming back to 4.4.2.
Shame really. Note 2 is still, by far, an awesome phone.

Ditto. Even though I added a Note 5 the Note II is still awesome. Unfortunately, CM12.1 is still not 100% and it's even worse than I last tried about half a year ago. Along with existing issues like no mobile data until reselecting APN but there's now new graphics glitches during initial setup. Went back to 4.4.2 where it's 100%. Hope CM13 will be usable.

I meant a custom ROM, I know a stock update is never going to come. Samsung was initially planning on sending out a Lollipop update but then it just sorta fizzled out.
I got 5.1.1 in my note 2 (N-7100) and so its running really smooth. Can't really find any bugs...everything's been running perfectly. The only thing not working is the face detection in smart lock. Other than that its very good.
I'm constantly using 5.x (CM12) on my Note 2 for about 6 month now.
The development has reached a status which I can't complain about.
With Undervolting + Power nap I get awesome battery times and with the custom themes.
My Note 2 has so many scratches. The screen has many cracks (which are held together by a display protector) too.
It simply refuses to die.
With CM12.1 I love this piece of hardware ^^
some roms?
Hi I have the Nemesis Rom and I'm very happy, but since I discovered the CM13 6.0.1 for our notes I'm thinking to change.
The fact is I used most of the samsung features (Snote, scrapbook, etc) Is there any possibility to integrate them with CM13? If not do you recommend me another Rom better than Nemesis?
Just dreaming I guess. Thank you!

After a few days of playing with my S4 I would have to say I'm not very happy with it. My smart stay setting don't work but maybe a 1/4 of the time if that. My voice commands don't work but half the time and I get a bit of lag from time to time. I've always used the stock browser in the past cause of flash player and now that don't work right, along with every now and then not being able to click links like its lagging but yet the url, bookmarks, Window manager, and menu button work. Plus the battery life hasn't been to great but that may be me being used to the note 2 battery. If anyone else is getting the same thing or knows of fixes please let me know. I have had these problems on fully stock, rooted with stock debloated, and now on rooted stock. Should I just wait and see what roms come out or should I try to return it and if I should return it is there a way back to non rooted fully stock? Thank you for your time.
edit 5/30: i just got done formating the int and ext storage to start from scratch. after that i noticed hyperdrive was just released so i installed that. phone softbricked cause i tried to install the ads mod from the app he has on the rom. was getting missing file errors and i/o error when tring to restore/wipe/install anything. did the no-wipe factory image and had to wipe data and factory reset after to get it out of bootloop. now im back and phone seems to be running great (but not sure about the voice commands and smart screen stuff just yet). i think my problem was i didnt change the save folder for titanium backup to sd card and i had some rom backups in the int. storage. figured this out when i went to make a backup and it said not enough memory. so if your having problems with lag double check your int. storage to make sure you have plenty of space.
Sounds like every S 4 I have ever seen.

Cleanrom would be nice right about now but I heard it will be a while till he can get his hands on one. Looks like I may have to just wait it out for some roms to come out And hope the wonderful devs can get this thing running good. God knows verizon cant do it.

Looking at his site, he got his donations, and was about to purchase the device. He should just be waiting for its arrival. Give it a week or two and he will likely have a ROM cooked

Thanks for the heads up! I ran it on my note 2 and loved it. Can't freaking wait!
Glad I brightened things up a bit for you!! Heck I am looking to upgrade soon and am considering the gs4. Been testing the waters in anticipation. I ran one of scotts roms years ago on my Optimus S (moved to the nexus s 4g, to currently the epic 4g touch) and he made a solid rom then, I know that.
I came from a note 2 as well. I can't wait for custom roms. The stock rom Sucks. I miss clean rom and beanstown but I'm sure everything will be here soon because the S series devices always have more development because they're more popular and more of an everyone phone unlike the note which isn't for everyone.

I've noticed the Verizon S4 lags when compared to the T-Mobile variant.
the issue with links you cant click is an bug browser freezing up.hopefully they will fix it soon.temp u can clise tge broswer and then fire back up and it should work.
I wonder in Verizon applied the latest update like all the other carruers did that took care of lag etc...I remember something in early may that the other carriers were getting an update to address the lag issue and since our phones were just released last week...it may be a little bit before Verizon catches up.

The Galaxy S3 was the first android phone that I could say finally solved the laggyness that has been there since the droid. I have an iphone 5, S3, and the S4. The S4, at least mine, is clearly faster then my S3, and the even the iphone (which has always been pinnacle of non lag phones)......can't even compare with the S4 smoothness, and that is saying something.
I hate lag, hated it since the OGDroid, and can see immediately. I'm sorry you're having issues with you're S4, but I really don't know what alternative phone you could buy as of now.....because, if i'm not mistaking, the S4,HTC One or Iphone.....are the only phones you can buy with the least amount of lag as of todays date.
Best of luck to you.
Well I need to do some more testing with the voice command. I went outside today (were is bright) and noticed that some of the clear stickers on the side of the phone were still there. Just not to sure if the ones I pulled off was covering the mic. If it's better from here on out I will definitely feel like a de de deee.
edit: still having a little of trouble but it may have to do with background noises and the phone volume being all the way up.
Tks

Same here.
I turned off all the Air gestures, and other 'features' that I don't need or care about and switched to ADW EX launcher.
Very pleased with the S4.
I'm happy with my GS4. No issues with me. My battery has been treating me much better compared to my old LG Revolution. I haven't noticed any lag on my phone and that's something I noticed all the time on 2.3.6

That sucks. I'm glad I haven't had any issues.
I kept reading posts about the S4 being laggy, so I was a little worried when I picked mine up yesterday. Luckily, I seem to have a lag free version.
I came from an iPhone 5, and this S4 is much faster. Prior to that I had a gnex, and there is night and day difference between that and the S4.
Omg, Clean Rom is coming!!!!!! I cant wait, his roms are seriously top notch, I have renewed faith!!!!

What are you guys talking about here, you can run other carrier roms, what is your hold up? You can run any rom the ATT I337 can, to include sprint and t-mobile roms. you just need to use the loki patch (verizon) within the recovery apps. Smile and start here...Cheer up Charlie!

This post is for the security junkies who are familiar with the 4.3 to 4.4 crisis that some of us have experienced with VPN and security issues not so long ago. I hope to catch the attention of some of you who may also be security junkies like me who are also wanting the S6. I've been researching some issues that I'll talk about here for some time now and trust me, I've been debating where to even post this thread LOL..... so for what it's worth here we go....
Okay fellow security junkies...here's the deal...
My favorite device to date was the Note 3 on 4.3, because everything just worked flawlessly. OpenVPN worked and stayed connected beautifully along with all the other security perks that I had on my device. The code on 4.3 was much more friendlier and cleaner before it became communist on the security side with 4.4 Kitkat. Then the fall...remember when Kitkat 4.4 came out? After that upgrade all crap hit the fan for us security junkies. Trying to stay connected to VPN was a nightmare and things were just not as smooth as it once was before. Then there was that period of time when we couldn't even flash back to 4.3. Remember?
I have a Note 4, on the unfortunate 4.4.4 Kitkat running VPN, AFWall+, and Xprivacy, along with some other tweaks for privacy. Everything works great....Not Note 3 days on 4.3 great, but I'm not complaining....however, I'm a little concerned that history might repeat itself like with the 4.3 to 4.4 nightmare....
Then comes Lollipop 5.0.... and now the S6 that we all want comes stock out of the box with Lollipop 5.0.1
As a victim before coming from a perfectly working Note 3 on 4.3 to experiencing a nightmare after upgrading to 4.4, I do not desire to go through all of that again and regretting it....but it's different now because we're talking about jumping devices AND to a different version of the software.
So here's the deal:
VPN - I have yet to see any confirmation if whether OpenVPN stays connected on Lollipop 5.0.1 ? With all this tightening down on security and google screwing with the code the behavior and stability of how well VPN will stay connected is in question.
Xposed - Doesn't seem to be working well with Lollipop...bootloops to it crashing.....sucks....
Xprivacy - One of the most important of them all seems to not work on Lollipop, not because of Xprivacy itself, but due to Xposed causing it to crash. So from what I've gathered, until Xposed comes out with an update to play nice with Lollipop, we're kind of SOL until that happens. This sucks....really sucks....
AFWall+ - Still unknown on how it'll behave on Lollipop 5.0.
I keep my set up pretty simple and straight to the point and do my best to keep it clean as possible. Personally I don't like clutter and keep only the apps that I really need and use.
I've had a chance to spend quite some time with the S6 and S6 Edge and I must say that I'm impressed. Like some of you, although I absolutely love the Note 4 and will be getting the Note 5 for sure when it comes out, I do miss having a phone-phone. So call me strange or whatever, but I'm really wanting to get the S6 Edge to experience a phone-phone again and enjoy it for ~5 months until the Note 5 comes out hopefully in September.
The only thing holding me back on getting the S6 Edge is the issue with Lollipop 5.0.1 that comes loaded with it and Xprivacy not working because of the lack of update of Xposed to dance well with Lollipop. As for the VPN and Firewall, I'm pretty optimistic those will be fine.
So is there anyone else out there with similar concerns? Again, I know all of this probably would only apply to 0.1% of the people out there, but hey....for what it's worth..... I've posted it.....so we'll see....
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks all and cheers to the release of the incredible S6!
I currently have an HTC one m8 on 5.01 and use openvpn all the time. Unless Samsung broke something I don't see that being an issue. Xposed will get working I'm sure just need patience as they are focusing on stability for 5.

Does anyone know if the S6 Edge will come with the encrypted filesystem out of the box? I haven't had a Samsung on Lollipop yet and I am curious how their security is going to line up with the new features Google is trying to push.

Very good question and I too am curious about this....I'd imagine with Lp5, the encryption "protocol," would have improved, but who knows....it's hard to say....however, I do know that the security aspect of things has improved over the previous versions so in that case, I hope this translates to the stock filesystem encryption to be better...
:fingers-crossed:
Wasn't there suppose to have been an update for Xposed to work on Lollipop (w/ TW) over the weekend?
Or did I miss the memo? LOL
I take it that this is the best post to follow for now on any updates:
I have the SM-G925W8 5.0.2, was wondering if its possible to manually update to 5.1.1 on a different baseband?

No man. Since there is no firmware available for your device you would have to flash a different one and that's a big no no. It could brick your phone. Be patient. The wait is almost over.

Not quite. Canadian carrier, at least Rogers, told us 5.1.1 would be pushed in June. Turns out they pushed it back to September, confirmed also by Telus. I don't understand why our twin brother the Tmo variant got it and not us, Heck, they've even received other OTAs after 5.1.1

Like I said. Almost over. September is less than 5 weeks away. I'm personally in no rush to get 5.1.1 and lose Ping Pong which might explain our different perspective on time and it's relativity.

Pingpong or not, september is pretty far away if you consider all the bugs we have to live with for another month, at least, possibly 2 if its at the end of september. Anyways, i'm ditching my S6 and getting the Note 5. Regardless of 5.1.1, you cant fix a 2500mah battery with a firmware update...this is my first Samsung phone that I need to plug it in if I do anything other than go to work. Even with root, and greenify, and a bunch of frozen apps a features, and other optimizations, my battery will die during the evening if I don't charge it. I miss the note line, I think it's the best phone ever. The Note 4 was my favorite phone, battery life was stellar, not bug ridden on 5.0 like the S6, there were a wide veriety of roms, tweaks and mods available. If the Note 5 will be anything like the Note 4, but in an S6 style construction, it will be the summum of phones.

Yeah I had the note 4 too and it was an amazing phone. It's 10:36 in the morning and my battery is at 57% lol. The only difference with me is that I think I actually like the 5.2 screen better. I'm actually considering the next nexus 5.
Too many cons when you go from galaxy to nexus. Bad camera, bad battery life, the OS in general is snappier but lacking stuff I'd miss on touchwiz.

After 6.0 Im done good news
Sweet! all we need to do is wait 6 months to get it ;=\
Android versions are moving so fast now developers can barely keep up, every new version has less features than the last and by time they start added some a new version is out. Granted 5.1.1 was SOOO bad I'm on cyanogenmod and at my house I don't even have service, id rather deal with that than the phone lagging to the point I have to pull the battery. I'm going to be switching carriers and sticking with cm but this is definitely my last Samsung phone.
I must be one of the ucky few who have almost 0 issues with 0G6, the errors (bugs / problems) I do have are easily fixed by a simple reboot. As for Marshmallow, I've knows for days as I asked a store associate at my carrier store whether or not I was getting it. He checked android central (of all things) to conclude that I was receiving it. And he was right. Now the waiting commences. My only question is, how long does it take for the official firmware to be released after the OTA becomes available?
The phone is unusable on 5.1.1 I don't see it getting better on android m . I always will try a new firmware but my experience has been that any thing after dob1 is crap. and cnk2 is faster than dob1
One other thing . dont hold your breath. I remember samsung saying the gt-19300 was going to get jellybean and then they changed their mind because of not enough ram. the motorola atrix was supposed to get Ice cream sandwich and that was also rescinded due to ram issues. I will believe it when I see it.
i'm too kind of done with samsung they pack the phone with goodies that you can't enjoy if the signal issue is not fix i will change phone brand i've read motorala are excellent with signal
one more bad software and my phone will end up like a marshmallow when i get done with it.LOL

On my phone after installing fog6 it runs OK for a day or two. Then It gets very laggy. To the point where the screen completely locks up and becomes unresponsive. It freezes.once I reboot the phone it is fine for a few hours but eventually it will freeze again. Typing is hard because of lag. I will type several characters and they won't appear until several seconds later. Often times when the phone rings I try to answer it but the phone becomes unresponsive and I miss the call. I then reboot and find out who called and call them back. This almost always happens if I am using the browser or an app when the phone rings. My phone is rooted and my wife's phone is not but we both have had these lag and performance issues on fog6 and fof6. I even debloated the phones and that still didn't help the lag. A reboot will fix it for a while but the phone will always lag again and freeze up when I need it the most. This is why I reverted to dob1. It is nowhere near as laggy . But even better than dob1 in my opinion is cnk2 . It is kit Kat but runs like a dream with no lag and all apps running no need to debloat. This phone was made for kitkat. It has 2 gigs of ram. That is why it is having problems on lollipop. I don't know how your phone seems to be OK maybe you are just lucky but I use my phone heavily and sad to say it can't perform on lollipop the way it does on 442 kitkat

You just explained mine AND my girls phone exactly!!!!! Stock did it so I DE bloated both phones, same issue, Installed shinys kernel and made all the tweaks, same crap. It has nothing to do with the ram, its a software issue and to my knowledge is limited to Tmobile!
afaik the other carriers are on 5.0 which is definitely not as laggy . anyway I am on cnk2 rooted twrp recovery with xposed and everything is running awesome. i could stay with this till the s7 comes out.
5.1.1 has never been laggy and I'm on db01 running cyanideL. Ran Blisspop forever and never any lag. I've seen these post and they are mostly from the same people who have jumped on every firmware update the moment it came out and got jocked everytime! They have caused the issue themselves trying every tweak in the book; the phone final said enough

Not sure I agree with this. I moved from at ATT S4 running KK to the S5 running 5.1.1. S4 ran fine but just a tad slow. So I figured I'd "upgrade". BTW, I'm as stock as one can be and have the same type of issues.

My girls phone came stock with fof6 and she couldn't deal with the non stop lag so I tried debloating it for her which didn't help, At that time I was running the sickness rom and happy. Later the fog6 came out and I told her Id update her phone clean with odin to it and do mine as well as I wanted the stagefright patched and hoped that since I was several radios behind I may get better signal at my house. After that we remained stock and within days it was not usable so I began debloating both phones, which didn't help. Shinys kernel was the only thing that helped but the lag out still occurs daily. I agree updating the phone is what caused the lag, but that's what people buy new phones for and update them, to stay current!
Let's hope that the bugs are worked out in 6.0. I believe samsung knows what to do with this phone if they are updating it. We all love touchwiz and deserve the same experience, newer device owners have. All I'm saying is be thankful, because if the Korean company was right about the prediction of 6.0, we wouldn't be receiving this update at all

I'm showing its still in manufacture development.
the software it self state stage 3 completed now for each diff phone is a diff story
My wife has an S5. I bought one on ebay to replace her S4,but it's dreadfully slow.
It came with an older version of Android so it had to go through 4 or 5 OTA updates. It's current, and I gave it another factory reset before giving it to her.
She has had it for about two weeks and there are multi second delays between simple UI events that should happen in near real time. The phone is horrible. She hates it and I can see why.
I keep coming back to the upgrades. Is there any evidence there is a difference at runtime between taking multiple OTA updates, and going straight to the latest by flashing it directly?

Hmmm I'm not sure but my gf is having the same problem maybe the galaxy series just hates women xD jk ofc but her phone was fine up until she took the oj4 update try checking what her ram is also I'll link you to my thread about it and you can see if any of those suggestions help you
This one is for the potential problems.http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/help/extremely-slow-t3306089/page2
This one is for rooting it and what I did was I rooted it with just the stock stuff and then I deleted some of her bloat ware apps and deleted the cache and that seems to have worked when I play on OT but she still complains about it going slow so idk take it how ever you want too

It's not in your head. I recently upgraded from an S4 to an S5. My wife took my old S4. The S5 is just slow, I don't know why. On both phones, I've got them fully updated (5.1.1 on the S5, 5.0.1 on the S4) rooted, and de-bloated. The S4 is noticeably faster. We've actually tested them, side by side, and on any task the S4 is faster. I can't wrap my head around it.
The only benefit I got from upgrading to the S5 was a little bit better battery and a better camera.
S5 slow after updates
This is a noted issue with T-Mobile S5. There are pages of complaints @ T-Mo support site.

S5s updated to 5.1.1 are prone to much lag. Solution seems to be downgrade via Odin to 4.4.2 or root and custom ROM. CM 12.1 is stable and runs well with good battery life.
