Android Marshmallow beta now seeding to Galaxy Note 5 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5

A while back, we posted an article about how to sign up to beta test Android Marshmallow on the Galaxy S6 edge, Galaxy S6 edge+, and Galaxy Note 5 on select carriers. If you have an AT&T Galaxy S6 edge (SM-G925A), AT&T Galaxy Note 5 (SM-N920A), Verizon Galaxy S6 edge (SM-G925V), or Verizon Galaxy S6 edge+ (SM-G928V), you can visit here and sign up for the official beta. The good news is that it has started seeding for the Galaxy note 5 and we have a few screenshots from one of our readers.

For at least the AT&T Galaxy Note 5, they selected only 200 participants, it is unknown if other devices got more or less at this time. Our reader was emailed with the instructions to download the Samsung app which would then install the beta to his device. The Note 5 now has build number MMB29K.N920AUCU2BPB1 and the kernel version has a build date of today, February 2nd, meaning it was probably pushed late last night Korean time. The update size for the beta was just over a gigabyte at 1355.94 MB, so it is quite hefty.

is there a way to get the update file and sideload it?

Anyway I can sign up now?

How did people sign up that sucks we missed out.

It was on Reddit thread, someone posted a link there.

Would be fantastic if someone could provide those files or instructions for installing the beta that they received from Samsung...

I had the 6P and came back to my Note 5 in about a month. All 3 that I had bent from no extra force other than having it in my loose front pocket by itself. And I always took it out before I sat down or bent over/down.
Not only that, the screen isn't as good or bright and I didn't think the camera was as good either. And rooting is overrated in this day and age. I got bored with it quick. Yes the phone is smooth, but it lacked too many features for me.
You may like it, but proceed cautiously is my advice.

I don't miss the amount of time I wasted rooting and flashing just to achieve instability and marginal benefits.

I tend to agree, but I did like having a nandroid backup, being able to backup and restore apps simply, adaway (adguard is ok, but have to disable to join my vpn), and simple things like volume music controls.

Did Samsung enable more options on the alarm clock? Specifically if you can adjust the snooze settings other than just turn it on or off.

Sold my AT&T Note & ordered a Unlocked Nexus!

What's up I've come to the dark side, well the other dark side. I've been on XDA for a while. I just ordered my unlocked Nexus from Amazon tonight for $502 with 1 day shipping!
My short story, I originally took the GF to AT&T to show her the Note as I though it was the perfect phone for her. She doesn't own a tablet like me and uses her iPhone to read her Hollywood gossip yada yada. I figured she would love the Note.
I also ended up loving the Note too "new toy syndrome" so I had to have one. Our upgrades weren't due until May. So I went ahead I threw down $650 for the AT&T Note.
Now don't get me wrong the Note is awesome! But the reasons it didn't work for me is.... Well first my area was "supposed" to get LTE in June but that failed and was pushed back till 2013. So what good is a LTE phone will no LTE! That's a big reason I didn't buy a international Note. Also I fell for the old "the note will get ICS in Q1" silly me I think I'm done believing or hoping for carrier updates anymore.
And honestly I've been in love with the Nexus since its unvailing. It's such a sleek pristine looking device. Not to mention pure ICS experience. I tried to set my Note up like a ICS overlay. But still had that god awful touch wiz lag.
I think I made the right choice, obviously. Nothing taken from the Note but me already using my Tablet daily it felt a tad redundant to have a 5.3" display and my tablet. I think the Nexus screen size is perfect. I have big hands and was able to one hand the note while typing but felt like it could possibly fall. I find the iPhone to small like I'll crush it, the Note a little on the iffy big side. But the nexus seems perfect size in today's mobile smartphone standards.
So just wanted to welcome myself and I have a lot of reading to catch up on!
Can't wait to get my Nexus with no AT&T branding and bloat less! I was gonna get the white model but it was $40 more and I thought the black looked more stealth and clean. I had a white note but I liked how the entire device even the dace was white.
I just did the same. I am not disappoint.

You won't regret it. A few weeks ago I was on the edge about buying the Nexus or not b/c of the price, but as soon as I got the phone all of that went away. It's an amazing phone and you won't regret it
Let us know how it is when it comes in!
Just did the same and Got my nexus yesterday.
However, the ICS version on it is 4.0.1.
I tried to perform a software update but it keeps telling me that my phone has the latest update.
Any advise???
Thanks
I had the intl Note and I miss it. That's probably my tech ADD.

Haha, understandable. My GF will still have the note if I wanna mess with it. It's a great phone but usually when I'm home I always grab for my tablet. Plus the Nexus screen is gonna feel huge being I had to use a spare iPhone 4 for a day until my Nexus comes in. It's only for a day or two but I feel like I'm gonna crush the little guy lol.

Yea the S-pen was nice but I didn't use it as much as I would have liked, but again only had the note for a few weeks.
Now the the thing I used the S-pen a lot was for Draw something with the GF, but I felt like it was cheating hahaha! And I was much better challenging the little one in fruit ninja. I found it a lot easier playing it with the S-pen, plus I hate that feeling when I swipe the screen fast with my finger tip. Odd lol.

There are many guides on the web and also tool kits. You can try and follow the instructions here
Most importantly you will need to set up Android SDK and drivers. Once this is done modding any Android device is a few short scripts away.

Waiting on the carriers is not fun. The carriers do not have the end users interest at heart. Although buying off contract carries many risks with GNex this is a good device.
Since your contract will be ending soon, don't renew if you can help it... go here instead:

Google now.

Google now is pretty straight foward and its actually my first time using it and I'm already liking it. What can I expect as time goes on from it?
You can expect it to start learning from you. For example, after a while it can give you traffic data to home right before you leave work/school on a consistent schedule
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Yep and if you check in at your fav burger joint or strip club :cyclops:, GN can tell you the traffic, if any to get to that destination. Also you can also get your fav sports team scores, local stuff happening in your area, even notifying you when a package was sent. I love the integration of google keep as well. Awesomsauce all around IMO.
You can expect to get traffic and weather notifications for every single place you Google, sometimes weeks later. But nothing for important meetings on your calendar unto 45 too late.

I have keep as well. How does it integrate itself with keep?
I think Google Now is the only thing keeping me on Android. It's just become TOO useful when I was doing things like checking Maps on my desktop and finding that a card would be added to my Now list, giving directions and ETA if I were to leave right away.
I'm definitely enjoying the way it's implemented, and it's become a tool I can't imagine using a smartphone without anymore.
I have a card for the Yankees, but it hasn't appeared yet. There is a game on right now and I can search it but it doesn't show the card yet. When should I expect it to pop up

Tasker, sl4a... depends how geeky you want to be. With sl4a people have controlled robots and stuff. Tasker has a little learning curve and it's limited only by imagination. There are several other automaton apps out there but Tasker is regarded as the most robust. You can even create standalone apps from within Tasker to sell on the play store if you were so motivated.

I fear that is the case already. I am not seeing a lot of movement on the 4.4 ROMs out there, the threads are not that active, and it appears that hardware (GPU) is blocking real progress in allowing 4.4 to be stable on the GNex. I rolled back to CM 10.1.3 which has been rock-stable with good battery life and strong signal for now, and am under contract until June before I can upgrade without penalty.

Point taken, but my comment wasn't about patience, it was about volume. The traffic just appears to be less than in the heady days of JB, for instance. Fewer posts IMHO means more people moving to other devices. I hope I'm wrong!

While KitKat is said to be able to run on lower-spec devices, this doesn't mean every phone ever made will begin to receive updates, nexus or otherwise. Will the HTC Hero receive KitKat? What about the Evo 4G? It has 512mb ram, and should run it just fine. This update was created to get rid of Gingerbread from the entry level devices being sold in developing countries.

Marshmallow update

Really dont understand why it takes so long for the update for a "flagship device"? Focusing on pushing more hardware without taking care of your existing customer's is bad PR IMO. I just want to try something new

Samsung probably already gave the rom to T-Mobile. T-Mobile then adds their stuff like wifi calling, VoLTE, advanced messaging, etc, then once they're done testing it for stability they push it out. So really it's not just samsung were waiting on.
Nexus comes stock with it. Google gave T-Mobile the firmware long ago.
We probably won't get an update until the s7 comes out, or worse case scenario when the new note and edge plus come out....sad but true

That's what I figured too...they want to push people to buy new products, probably won't come out till two months the after release of the S7 I'm guessing.

Yes they may have the Firmware from Google for the nexus but that doesn't mean it works with Samsung's phone. They will still have to test the modem and make sure it works well on their network. Still need to test stability with the firmware from Samsung.

That is for the unlocked model. Also, T-Mobile needs to add bloatware and test, which would take a few months probably.
I can never understand why people care about these mediocre updates sometimes, that even breaks the phone at times. When it comes it comes as long as it comes within a 6- 8 months of google releasing it im fine. The software on this phone is excellent now.
Because a lot of these people live t update things. Just keep wanting to update and not satisfied with current things. Sad really.
The t-mobile visual voice-mail update to support android 6.0 is a good sign.

I can never understand why people care about these mediocre updates sometimes, that even breaks the phone at times. When it comes it comes as long as it comes within a 6- 8 months of google releasing it im fine. The software on this phone is excellent now.

Are you daft? The jump from L to M had a plethora of awesome features. And no, when all these other phones have M already it seems kind of ****ty that samsung, the biggest android phome manufacturer, is dragging behind like this.

At this rate I expect to have swapped to an S7 Edge before the S6 Edge+ gets Marshmallow. Thank god for Jump! On Demand

The 2nd Major Note 7 Nerf Bat Swing's Hard on December 19th!

Samsung confirms it will render the US Note 7 completely useless with next update
Samsung Excerpt:
"To further increase participation, a software update will be released starting on December 19th that will prevent U.S. Galaxy Note7 devices from charging and will eliminate their ability to work as mobile devices."
Why is Samsung pushing so hard?
What else is motivating them?
It can't just be safety? Money perhaps?
Do they need to harvest Note 7's parts?
Are they trying to rush getting all N7's before MWC and the S8 (with rumored full screen) reveal?
Are they trying to prevent return trade ups to new 2017 devices (keeping the same installment)?
This push to gimp is insane! Apple would never do it. So, what is truly motivating Samsung?
This might be it unless a Root solution is found, yes?

To me it looks like it's a safety issue it looks like because of all the problems and incidents they are doing this to cover themselves

This sucks. As if the 60% wasn't enough. I was late to prevent that one from slipping thru.
So what's next? Are we beat? Is there any recourse for us? Specifically AT&T? Trying to get a good AT&T firmware has eluded me thus far.

It sounds like Samsung hell Bent on making sure all note sevens are returned

Looks like this is not going to affect Verizon though:
However, Verizon Communications Inc said it would not take part in the update because of the added risk this could pose to Galaxy Note7 users that do not have another device to switch to. (Reporting by Laharee Chatterjee in Bengaluru; Editing by Shounak Dasgupta)
Even still this is pretty low of them. My thinking is they are using these for parts for the next version. They probably know exactly what caused it and it is such an easy cost effective fix, they simply just need to make a few adjustments.
I'm done
Well that's it for me . Sadly I returned my note today . I'm done spending any more of my time trying to keep this phone working . I'm out so much money in accessories alone it makes my stomach turn. I am liking my Xiaomi mi mix though just wish it had a stylus.
I'm sure Verizon will get an update after the Holidays.
Let them try. I have all of those updates disabled.

Would this be the same package disabler 6.3 that we should be using? Or is there something new to know?
I'm not using anything right now (yea yea) and would like to keep this one from happening.
N7 owners fighting tooth and nail.

I got the notice from Bell today that December 15th is the IMEI cutoff time. I'm assuming Package Disabler would have nothing to do with avoiding this longer.

I know no one that has had any issue... Are there any persons out there that have had a indication that there phone was going to overheat? Or something that suggested that it was not working properly at any time? Both I had seemed fine. I think it is a deal that they made with Apple, Inc. The news recently was that they did not infringe... my thoughts were this was because Sammy took a financial hit, which sent a lot of people to Apple. The new Apple phone came out just as the phone BS with the Note 7 got started.

It seems like that because I saw a news article that Samsung won a court battle against Apple

I thought that root was available for all Note 7s? I got root but then again mine is not US version.
Nope.

6.3 is what I use
So when they begin blacklisting your IMEI numbers what will you do then? Come up with an IMEI solution. Seems like a lot of work just to try and stick it to "the man." How did you ever survive before the N7 came out?
