Hi
I am using samsung galaxy note 4. I have tried to update my phone to lollipop.But its showing no updates are found in AT&T server.
Checked setting-->general-->about phone-->software updates---> Check update-->check AT&T server for new software update-->Current software is up to date..... But I have Andriod version 4.4.4
I have been trying from March 26th.Please let me know why I'm not able to update.
Thanks

IT'S THE WORST ANDROID UPDATE EVER!
It's why I'm here. Looking to find out who to complain to; android, at&t, samsung or all 3.
My phone prompted me to update. My wife had to go into settings like you tried to do.
Maybe there is a known problem and that's why you can't update to lollipop now. At least I hope so! I've heard trying to roll back to a previous update doesn't work very well, so I'm pretty sure we're stuck until the next update comes out.

Apparently, there is a way for me to go back to kit kat, but i haven't done that yet.
But the latest news is that yes, there are problems with lollipop 5.0 releases. And 5.1 isn't expected out anytime soon. Especially considering 5.0 hasn't been released to everyone yet. I am guessing that you just happen to be in an area that AT&T hasn't made the update available yet. It's a slow process (it has to eventually go out to the entire world).
Since I completely and utterly hate the obnoxious orange color of my messaging menu, I think I will try to roll back to kit kat. I was more than happy with that anyways.
When 5.1 is released, I think I will research it fully before upgrading. It will likely have a few features that the S6 will have, but I'm not sure I'd really care because the note 4 already has 4k features.
I have a coworker who is still on jelly bean (I think that's the one) so he can use an app that let's him use his Verizon phone as a wifi router at home for free. Which means upgrading Android is only necessary if you want the specific new features or an app requires it.

After updating I was losing about 15% of battery/hour which is ridiculous and nowhere near the battery life I had under Kit Kat. I tried everything and ended up backing up the phone and resetting the device to factory settings. Once I restored all of my apps and information, I've been getting better battery life than before the update, around 2 solid days under normal usage. I have had some issues with GPS signal dropping or freezing but its gotten a little better the last couple of days.
Not really a fan of the look or colors of Lollipop but I can live with it. Also, bluetooth has been hit and miss as well. Hopefully, there will be a release with some bug fixes in it soon.

I'm on Note 4 Lollipop and am not having these problems. Many sites recommend clearing the cache to solve issues. If you haven't tried that then give it a go. My biggest gripes are the terrible colors on the new google apps (messenger, mail...), really obnoxious. At least lollipop allows better use of the sd card, which is huge for me.

Hi I am using samsung note 4 - N910A.
I have called technical customer care, they told me at&t update is released based on IMEI number.So asked me to wait for few weeks.
I really dont know why its taking months for at&t to release lollipop updates even for high end mobile phones

Updated to the most recent version and now the lock screen doesn't show any notifications on the upper left hand side anymore. So in order to check and see if I received a text, an email, or any notifications for that matter, I'd have to swipe to the home page. On top of that, I can't control the music player on lock screen anymore. Very inconvenient for changing tracks when at the gym or in a car. Not to mention the new layout and uneccesary aesthetics. Very frustrating. Shame on the update!
