Can anyone confirm this? Before i waste my one attempt at checking for today since for some reason it only allows you to check once every 24 hours. I already downloaded that minor update a day or so ago which was not marshmallow and then today I seen this. So can anyone confirm? Thanks.


AT&T says Galaxy Note 5 gets Marshmallow update today, Galaxy S6 on the 14th

This is beginning to tick me off a bit. For those of us that have the Note 5 I would suggest raising hell with both Samsung and AT&T and let them know that this delay is completely unacceptable. When I had the Galaxy S3 the Kit Kat update for it did not take half as long as this. I am also seeing some rumors that Samsung will skip Marshmallow altogether on the Note 5 and go straight to android N. The bad news about that is Android N will not be available until mid May on Google branded phones leaving the Android N update as being available for Samsung devices no earlier than July.

The latest thing is the FCC is getting involved. The FCC is investigating why it takes carriers so long to push update whether they be new android versions that contain security updates to just plain security updates that should be pushed out monthly. The FCC has received numerous complaints that the carriers are witholding updates leaving millions of customers vulnerable to malware. If this is true I hope some huge fines against carriers that want to sell you phones but don't want to give you any after purchase support.
