Galaxy S5 Active android lollipop
Why hasn't AT&T released lollipop to the Galaxy S5 Active yet???
The released it to the S5 which has the same internal specs as the S5 Active, so their is no reason that makes any sense to me why they haven't done it yet

The S5 active and the S5 have a few minor differences that have to be addresses in the code. Mainly the hardware coding for the active button above the volume and the physical hardware buttons... And the lack of the fingerprint scanner on the front.
There are a few other details, like some of the apps included with the Active that weren't with the regular. It's not much, but it's enough they can't use the same code for both.
Usually, we get the updates within a couple of days, maybe a week. (Fingers crossed.)
If not, the one year warrenty is up in June, so I'll probably do what I always do... Dump the stock rom and go to Cyanogen Mod and be free of all the AT&T bloatware.
AT&T Roms run over 1Gb... CM 12.1 (Android 5.1) is coming in under 300Mb (I think). Hows that for bloat?

While what you say makes sense when AT&T released kit Kat 4.4.4, it was released to both the S5 and S5 Active pretty much on the same day I believe.

You're right. Kit kat 4.4.4 was released on 2/3/15 to the S5 and then 2/9 to the S5 active.
So I can be okay with that if it's the same now, about a week apart. I would be upset if it took another month or 2

Lets hope it doesnt take that long. I remember back when 4.3 came out for S4. Took another month and a half for S4 Active to get it.

Agreed. There really aren't any differences (with the exception of a few minor ones as you pointed out previously) between the S5 and S5 Active, so I'm hopefully we'll get lollipop soon on the S5 active
