Updates are exciting and meant to improve the experience on your phone Nanna20. What make and model phone do you have? Did the message include the name of the softare update attempting to download?

Hi MichelleS_VZW and @VZWSupport,

First off, please respect the poster's question. I find it offensive and insulting one's intelligence by attempting to placate the poster/customer with corporate speak like "Updates are exciting". Just respond professionally and appropriately.

I installed a Verizon update  yesterday thinking it was android 6 (it is not; I still have android 5), but cannot find any info on the update. I have a Samsung s5. Please explain this update in detail.

Thank you

Ask Samsung. They are the ones writing the code not Verizon Wireless.

Late Q1 to Q2 is the anticipated wait, although don't count on it coming that soon. Samsung will need to finish spinning up their version of Marshmallow, then Verizon and Samsung need to test the image, and then Verizon needs to approve and push the update. The delays tend to be at the far end of that process, with Samsung Factory unlocked phones rolling out months in advance Smiley Happy
