Its, sad to hear that some devices like S3 Neo got the Lollipop but our not, but the real answer is that S3 Neo will not get Lollipop update, maybe future updates based on 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 will come but Lollipop update not, just stop to hope to get an official Lollipop update from Samsung.
I just wanted to share it with you! I hoped it as well, but it will not come!

It will get lollipop youmobile is only uk...
Germany samsung told me that it is likely we are going to get it he didn't say no uk will not likely get it
that tweet is from July . that's old news. also there is a GT-I9301i ( aka neo+ in some regions ) that has 1.5 ram and good processor. That may get updated. Also. i don't care any more They can shove the update when the sun don't shine. They released 50 phone variants and now they can't update all of them and playing the : it can't run that android version bull**** . This will probably be my first and last Samsung device.

This forum topic is dedicated to the P6 and Mate, so obviously they have to be somehow "compatible", otherwise it wouldn't be a shared topic.
In what way are they similar (I can also read the tech specs, so that's not what I mean)? I'm actually referring to the pending 4.4.2 release for the P6, while nobody mentions the same upgrade for the Mate. Is anything like that coming? Is the release of the P6 4.4.2 a lead-in to the same release for the Mate?
I'm also a bit confused on the developer section of this forum. Again, in the Mate topic, almost everything deals with the P6.
Anyone care to explain to a Huawei Mate owner who desperately needs >= 4.3 to do some experimenting with BLE?
TIA all
Basically, all you have is the Mate Development section.
There is however some shared projects since the hardware is so alike, like Cyanogenmod.
At the moment, no 4.3 for Mate nor P6.
We wouldn't know if you guys are getting kitkat since the Chinese are a bit puzzling when it comes to dates or manuals.
But I am sure once we got official kitkat for P6, someone could port it over. I am pretty sure I'll be able to, problem is I don't have a device nor the confidence to ask someone else to test my untested work.

Thx PulseDroid, partly answers my question.
I was referring to this thread: 4.4.2 KitKat beta for P6.
So basically, it seems P6 is getting straight into 4.4 (skipping 4.3). And hence my question was: if P6 and Mate are so alike, when and if at all, can we expect this for the Mate?
I am not necessarily in need of a custom ROM (although I have installed several ones in my Xperia Neo days), I just want the BLE integrated into the Mate to work (which it can not until 4.3).
We wouldn't know if you guys are getting Kitkat since the Chinese are a bit puzzling when it comes to dates or manuals.
We don't know. - Most likely but there is no evidence for us to be certain.
Yes the P6 is skipping 4.3. - Most devices did this, a lot of the more well known manufactures also did this.
So, we don't know when / if you will get 4.4.x for the Mate. - But even if not, Developers here on XDA might be able to port it over to the Mate.
Mate will most likely get it. I remember reading that there were a couple of phones besides P6, that was promised to get update to Emui2.0 (assuming that they bring Android 4.4 with Emui2.0, and not just emui2.0), and i remember the P2 and A199 included among it. Im not sure Mate was named but it most likely would be part of the batch to get update. Yet note that since P6 is Huawei's "flagship", the P6 gets updates sooner. And since the specs are nearly same then i guess they are first waiting to get a stable release on P6 and then move it to other phones like Mate, Honor 3, D2, that all use similar chip.
I hate to ask what has probably been asked a thousand times over but I am extra keen to get me mitts on 4.3 or 4.4 cos I foolishly bought a galaxy gear and I am suffering with its lack of features due to only having 4.2
does anyone have a jar of glue about a future update??
Thanks

Beyond that join the waiting list or check the custom ROMs in the two development sections. We should get official Kit Kat before the end of the year if we get it at all and likely will get it before July, depending on models (e.g. Wi-Fi vs carrier vs 3G).

LG has just informed us via a press release that they will be rolling out the Lollipop upgrade to the LG G3 next week. Starting in Poland. LG is claiming to be first to roll out the update to Android 5.0 Lollipop. While Motorola has started their soak test for Lollipop on the Moto X (2014), they haven’t started the official rollout just yet. While LG is starting the rollout in Poland we should be seeing it in other countries shortly later on. For those of us in the US, it’ll be closer to December, due to the carriers.
“LG is absolutely committed to giving our customers the best mobile experiences available and bringing Android Lollipop to G3 owners as soon as possible is a top priority,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “The new features and improvements in Android 5.0 will bring a whole new user experience to the G3 and make it even better than it already is.”
Android 5.0 Lollipop brings a ton of new features. But for the LG G3, the most notable ones will be the battery and camera features that Google has added. Like Project Volta. The battery life on the Nexus 6 is pretty good, and I’m interested to see how the LG G3 does with the Lollipop update.
It looks like the developer preview at Google I/O this year really helped out the OEMs as we’re already seeing leaks of the LG G3, Samsung Galaxy S5 and other devices with Lollipop on board and this is the third device slated to get Lollipop this month that’s not a Nexus. Wonder if LG is going to beat the Nexus devices this year? It’s quite possible as the Nexus 5 isn’t going to be getting the update til at least November 12th.
Too bad it will look nothing like Lollipop.

That's true. Lollipop is really nice looking on my nexus 7. But won't it help developers to base their roms on the release to make it look like stock?
Yeah that really upset me. Lollipop looks fantastic and doesn't look anything like it.

Nice, despite the whiners and crybabies talking about how it doesn't look like lollipop, they should have known that when they bought the skinned LG g3,why would this update be any different lol... I'm happy LG is doing this update right! Can't wait!
Sent from my LG-D851
Rooted but not a custom rom here...any idea how the upgrade for us is going to go? Do we need to go back to stock to upgrade?
It doesn't look like Lollipop, IE: it doesn't look like a Nexus device. That's a shocking revelation, and I am appalled. I figured that LG would completely scrap their own UI, and just stick AOSP lollipop on the phone, simply shocking. That said, until ART works with xposed, I'll be rocking KK. Not a big deal either way, and in all seriousness, you folks can't be shocked that LG is keeping their UI, right? Right? Just like every other OEM who skins android.
Got a Nexus 6 ordered so just unrooted and returned to stock awaiting 4.4.4, then will put the LG G3 up for sale.
Damn. And I just ordered my Note 4.
My question is when will there be a stock AOSP 5.0 rom for the G3? This phone is a monster in the spec field, and I want to keep it. I would like to flash a vanilla lollipop rom, however.
So apparently the D855 variant has a leaked build of lollipop booting with no issues...wondering what needs to be done for it to work on the D851? Are the firmwares even compatible?
+1 ....are there any d851 devs alive out there? This feels like the Jedi's are damn near extinct in our neck of the woods.

That leaked build was paid for by donations. The guy bought the build from LGBB with donations from other forum members. Be patient, CM12 is being worked on and it will be out when its ready.

I wasn't being impatient. I was merely asking questions. Of which you answered none. But thanks for the info anyways.
I would also like to see lollipop ported over to the d851 seems like theres no love on our side can a dev plz port this over for our beloved device willing to donate im sure a lot off us will ...
Really! ? The nexus doesn't even have it yet. These things take time. I can't imagine any of the devs are just sitting around saying they aren't interested in 5.0. If you really want it, s start building! Or wait quietly, but don't criticize the folks who do this for you for free!

Hoping the wi-fi calling source code is included in the upcoming updates to Lollipop.
I dont understand why some folks on xda feel the need to add useless comments in response to a question.. Would it not be better to just (putting it nicely) not respond if you can't help, instead of insulting..
You can consider my comment useless if you want. But you would be better off telling it to someone who cares about what you think.
Can't wait for lollipop!
Sammobile and other sites have leaked recently that the Note II will be getting Android 5.0. Anyone giving any credence to this claim?
Search is your best friend. https://carbonrom.org/on-to-sweeter...l&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer
Ummm... thanks, I think. I'd already searched, that's how I saw the Sammobile article. The link you provided talks about a Carbon ROM -- nothing to do with Android 5.0. My purpose in starting this thread was to solicit other peoples' opinions on the likelihood of getting Android 5.0 on our TMOS Note IIs.
note 2 may get android l 5.0 but i got a feeling it's gonna be a long time before t-mobile drops it if they drop it at all

Didn't the Note 2 reach EOL for Stock OEM development ?
Hope we get an international or AOSP Android 5 ROM for XMAS!
Samsung France has undoubtedly confirmed that the galaxy s3 neo obtain the update android lollipop. But they say " we don't have any informations about the date of the deployment"
(I CANT SEND THE SCREENSHOT OFF THE CHAT.)
Translation by google:
Elena:
Hello, welcome to Samsung. How can I help you today?
I am listening to you, Mr. G ****
Me:
Hello, I have a question on the Galaxy S3 GT-Neo I9301I.
* I would like to know when he will receive the upgrade Android Lollipop.
Elena:
I understand your request, sir.
*About your question on Android updated "version of Lollipop" on your "Neo Galaxy S3," I inform you that the deployment of the update is planned, but no information about the date for Deployment has been received for the moment. It depends on the distribution channel and also depends from one operator to another.
*Indeed, the date of provision of an update differs from a version of "Galaxy S3 Neo" to another.
To check the availability of a new update, I invite you to do the following: 1) Either via the Service FOTA (Firmware Over The Air): Menu → Settings → About device → Software Update → Update. 2) By connecting your mobile with Samsung Kies application: Download the latest version of Samsung KIES software via this link: samsung.com/fr/support/usefulsoftware/KIES Select "tab to download WINDOWS / MAC "and then click" Download Kies "to install it. After downloading I recommend you restart your computer. Then you connect your device. If there is an official update and available for your product, it will be automatically offered.
Now what is this guys? I invite those who have been so much busy to spread the famous (so called) news that there will be no lollipop update for s3 neo. Why?
Because their country representative of Samsung website or a Samsung page or chat page admin said that.
Wow awesome.
I always said that there is no final answer to this question about lollipop update, we have some time to get that (Samsung support policy ) but no..... no one listened.
It is a good news and thanks for sharing.

Long liVe CM11! Samsung and their support 18 months policy is not factor. Thanks to our clever developers in the community, almost every device in market get their unofficial updates, which in more cases is better than stock firmware updates! Guys, everything is circle around the bussines. S3 Neo is not very popular device, but is better and more hw powerful than most of new device in the middle class! I'm happy to spend money in my 9301 beauty and the future L or even M update it's not represents any interest to me. Think about it - Nfc and what else? Nothing to fix! CM11 by Rox and slim CM11 is already optimized for our device, full xposed support - thats is very important. For me, this is most important criteria! So, when you buy new device, just thing about your future needs. If you not like your device, then you're make a mistake with the purchase! Be happy with that gou have, thankful and if you're not okay with something I wish for you to get your lovely and most closer to you device soon as possibble!
Best regards, guys!

yes , samsung UK officialy canceled the update to galaxy s3 neo. When I spoke with advised samsung , he explained that the update would be available only in certain countries. " It depends on the distribution channel ." If Samsung UK made an official announcement, it concerns only his country.
