How about some kind of announcement regarding lollipop??

Every other U.S. carrier is either in the process of rolling it out or have made an announcement. As the largest carrier with the best resources for testing, we should have been the very first to receive it. Especially on your most expensive phone that you released in JANUARY 2015. The Note Edge seems to be left to the side AGAIN. I'm already ticked to the max that you included the Note 4 in the Netflix promotion this year and left out the Edge.

You should frequent the forum here more often. Then you wouldn't want LP till 5.1 came out.

I don't need to visit Verizon's goofy forums I'm on Android forums all the time and I know all there is to know regarding the updates. The only people having problems with "LP" are people who have caused those issues themselves 99.9% of the time. The majority of the people have had no problems whatsoever but don't get on forums and leave positive comments. You see people leaving negative comments about every update, I have never had one issue ever.

While I'm not sure why you came to these forums to begin with if you think they are goofy, I do agree with everything else.

"Verizon's Galaxy S4 Gets Lollipop This Week!" Gotta love it! How old is the S4 again?

JohnC118

I came to the forum to inquire to Verizon about exactly what I asked. It wasn't directed to you so why are you even asking why I'm here?

This is so very typical of Verizon.. You have some old outdate phones getting the latest update.. But their most expensive Android phone last in line for Lollipop... Thanks Verizon.

Snn5

Pray tell, which "outdated" devices are you referring to?

justjayhere

Like the 2 year old S4....

Verizon Wireless today said owners of the Samsung Galaxy S4 can expect to see their devices updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop in the next few days.

From gottabemobile.."The arrival of the T-Mobile Galaxy Note Edge Lollipop update means that there should be just one more Galaxy Note Edge Lollipop release left in the United States. The Verizon Galaxy Note Edge Lollipop update is still missing in action and it’s not clear when the carrier plans to roll out the firmware." Yay Verizon

Not to put the fear in you, but I don't know if Verizon is going to push lollipop for the note edge. The only reason I'm saying that is because on Samsung's site has all models showing/showed pending updates besides the Note Edge for Verizon...See for yourself.. Official Samsung® Android Updates & Firmwares

justjayhere

youmobile.org is not a Samsung website.. Plus most carriers have upgrade

the Note Edge to Lollipop.. No reason to think Verizon won't.

JohnC118

I have no doubt whatsoever that an update is coming, just a matter of when. I have full confidence that because it's taking so long and we are the last to get an update on such a current and expensive phone that we will be jumping right from 4.4.4 to 5.1 and skipping 5.01, which was released by Samsung in FEBRUARY. (some sarcasm in there).

I need SD card access ... We need Lollipop.

A Verizon "test engineer" is in the news today for posting on Google + about the hold up for Droid Turbo getting 5.0, saying the biggest issue was bugs in HD Voice calling. He said the Turbo will be getting 5.1 mid-June. I'm wondering if anyone asked him about the the situation for the Edge. His posts have already been deleted. These guys are so elusive.

n900mixalot

Yeah they are. Problem is, if it's such a big issue for Verizon, why does my Note 4 on Verizon work perfectly with the Lollipop update?

JohnC118

the million dollar question

JohnC118

Well Samsung has announced that the Note Edge is one of the phones which will be receiving Android M by the end of the year. I guess that means Verizon should get it out by 2017. I wonder if Samsung knows Verizon's Note Edge is still on 4.4.4? Ridiculous.

Chino10

Reason why Android will never match up to Iphone. Say all the bad things about apple but they trash Android as it regards to updates. I have Edge and like it a lot but can't this waiting for an update that everyone else already deployed.

n900mixalot

I cannot believe we are still waiting and wondering. This is bad. I got a Nexus 6. Done with Samsung and Verizon games. Switching to another carrier ASAP. This is your fault Verizon.

Ann154

The "games" are the same at the other carriers unless you purchase truly unlocked phone without any carrier branding.

Fadetonight

Well I got in the wrong boat yet again. Went from the Icon who Verizon held that Denim update until everyone on every other carrier was talking about the next update. Jumped on this phone as I figured, its Samsung, Verizon loves Samsung and Apple. Oops, wrong again. My buddy has the Note 4 with the update that he got awhile back, but the Edge still nothing. I have the worst luck with this stuff. So in the future I should announce what phone I'm getting and all of you should avoid it like the plague if you want updates....

Bigdog44

If you use the Verizon upgrade assistant the lollipop update is available and thru Samsung Kies
got it today

ACLURE

Use Verizon Software Update got Lollipop installed today

JohnC118

Well as predicted, here it is July and the OTA update is supposed to start rolling out today. But guess what.. 5.0.1 hahaha. The beginning of this article on theandroidsoul sums it up right..

"It feels kind of weird to feel happy about Verizon Galaxy Note Edge users as they start receiving Android 5.0.1 update when Samsung’s been distributing Android 5.1 update elsewhere. But it’s still Lollipop update, and far incremental one from KitKat — so much that it naturally means a lot.

We hope Samsung and Verizon up team up nicely for the Android 5.1 update for their Note Edge, so that users aren’t made to wait till Android M starts rolling out for Galaxy S6 users."

n900mixalot

We will see how it goes. Don't forget to factory reset before flashing/installing.

n900mixalot

Make that AFTER installing.

JohnC118

My plan was to reset after the update but everything went so good I don't even know if I will bother. No problems whatsoever and the battery life seems to be even better.

JohnC118

Sprint's Note Edge is getting 5.1 today. Soooooo... we wait and see.

Dreson

Why factory reset?
