From article
"Samsung hasn't confirmed any Android 5.0 Lollipop updates for its devices; however, at least one device from the manufacturer is certain to receive the new software. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play edition should be among the first devices to receive Android 5.0."
So, we should be among the first to get the update. It will likely be out in the Google Play Edition ROM's first, and official update probably a lot later. I wouldn't expect it to come too soon, but it will arrive.

Nah, Android version codename lap dance.

People hear of something new, and just want it because it new. No idea what it actually is nor anything about it. (Just fyi its not even released yet.) Kinda like multi window on the s3. Everyone cried for. 1000s and 1000s. Finally got it, and honestly how many people actually use it? I bet I can count the percentage on my hands.

You are totally right on the above - .
I have read that 5.0 (hate Google's names) is supposed to be a major update (with Art, etc) and the reviews covered other new features - but will have to see if, bottom line, it will really reflect a major step forward.
Totally off topic here - getting tired hearing all the hoopla about Apple Wallet - been using Google Wallet for two years - what's the big deal ?
I'm looking forward to the sweet sweet ROMs for this device with Lollipop!

The only good thing about Apple Pay will be that more retailers will update their CC machines so that we can use NFC and Google Wallet.

It can be "possible" that the Android L can prevent root. But that is mainly for phones with a locked bootloader, which we dont have........
But, first it was Knox, now Google is trying to make it to where you cant even root your phone. Go to the Portal and read this.

Of course.... Apple dipping their grubby little mitts where they don't belong yet again. They really just need to curl up into a little ball and die already. Keep making computers, hell.... keep making tablets and phones.... just let others do their thing, too. It's one thing if they're completely ripping you off and keeping the same look you have. It's a whole different ballgame if they supposedly did so YEARS ago, and have surpassed your OS sooooo far in design and functionality that you are getting scared. Android has already beaten you.... so stop trying to beat it like a dead horse, Apple.
Its not really a trivial function, integrated search, despite how easy it us for us to use. So to developers.. and to shareholders if companies like this, its easily worth suing over

I'll probably have sold the Note4 before it gets lollipop.

4.4.4 has only been out for 4 months, you think you'd have it already on a carrier specific phone, and samsung at that? and with 4.4.4 being a minor update?
By the time 4.4.4 released, Sammy was already well into working on 5.0 Why do the work for a minor update when you could just go straight for the big release?

I was shocked when Verizon released it, they are usually really slow. ..
And to answer Techsavvy2's question, in Verizon at least, the GS5 4.4.4 update fixed many Bluetooth issues that were present in 4.4.2. But I agree with Tech's point in that new for new's sake is a little pointless.

I hope we see it before the New Year, although I know the odds of that happening are almost nil. I also hope Samsung adopts the new aesthetic as much as possible, though their current version of Touchwiz is much better than previous versions.
Hope so. Not going to hold my breath waiting though.

Hopefully as stated earlier in the thread it holds true for AT&T. Maybe they will realize with such a big OS release that people will want it sooner than later.
I have a feeling AT&T is going to delay it for at least a month while it figures out what features they want to disable to add in their own bloated, pay to use version of it !
Why is it called lollipop.....suckers.....
So maybe now a nexus 6 is looking good?

I wouldn't call the SGS4 a dead horse in any way, shape, or form. This thing is almost endlessly customizable with just about every flavor of roms you can imagine. I've been eligible for an upgrade for over a year now, and I haven't done it simply because my S4 fits my needs perfectly. Plus, I'm a little concerned that any other device will be a disappointment from what I'm used to. This thing has tons of life left in it...enough so that it'll still make someone else glad to have it when I finally do decide to upgrade.

I was just joking [emoji1] I completely agree with you. If I didn't like my s4, I would have gotten rid of it long ago. It is just a comforting feeling that we will get a major upgrade and it will be nice to see the threads blow up when it drops. I was not expecting this upgrade at all.

It's safe to say: Root is not coming. I would jump on Lollipop asap. Anything is better than the current lag on this phone. Hopefully its less Samsung customed like how they did the New S6.
I also have a Tmobile rooted also, so I know how laggy the AT&T version is. Heck, my Moto G (2014) is snappier.

Any rumors about plans for a Note 7 DE?
I got the note 4 DE but sold it after a year cause I wanted to use the banking features and other stuff which even with root cloak it wouldn't work. I thought I would die without root as Ive had it on every phone ive ever had but its not so bad anymore. I just miss the customizations but its no big deal anymore.
I think the only benefits to root now are totally removing system apps and bloatware. Unless you're really into flashing or using a custom kernel, then it's not worth it.
You can remove ads with adguard, change your launcher to Nova and have it how you like, you can also block bloatware and system apps with certain apps as well.
While I do admit, for people that like to keep their phones for a long time, it's nice to be able to constantly update to the latest OS if you have a good community working on it, but I rarely keep phones past their end of update age. There was a time where I would refuse to buy a phone if it meant I couldn't root/flash a custom rom but I'm over that. Phones now have some great baked in features as is anyways, and it's worth it to keep them stock for me now. Just get anything that you know will be popular so it gets reliable updates.

I believe that they have stopped doing developers editions. I remember they pulled like 70ish models down one day from the developers' edition section on their site and haven't put any more up since. Nobody really knows what they did with them or why they stopped.
I was planning on buying another Note 4 DE so I kept tabs on the amount that was in stock. I'm guessing they will never have another DE model. I hope I'm wrong though.
