What the???

Why is it that the S5 is getting the rollout to Lollipop now for Verizon and the Note 3 isn't getting it yet? Verizon started the OTA for the S5 today. This is a bunch of crap.

I am not happy. If I can't root my Note 3 on 4.4.4 at least let me have Lollipop

I believe they normally move from newest to oldest. S5 being the newest. Note 3 should be next hopefully. Or Note 4 then note 3 if the Note 4 did not get it yet.

My buddy has the note 4 and hasn't received it yet. I would assume it would be next in line. Hopefully if verizon drags its ass someone will find exploits and port touch wiz lollipop over to us. As much as I hate touch wiz I do rely a lot on some of the apps CM doesn't give me like s notes.

s5 does not have a replacement on the shelves yet note 3 has the note 4 replacing it. Note 3 are on the verge of not being carried at verizon stores anymore. So any work done to improve or update the note 3 is non profitable. It does not take a lot to realize big red only cares about 1 thing the black numbers being big and red numbers being small note 3 represents red numbers.

This very situation is why i feel carriers need to be stripped of the ability to mess with phones bad enough manufactures paste junk all over the phone.

I said the exact same thing soon as we found out the 4.4.4 wasn't rootable. It sucks but the newer phones always get the upgrades first. I got kinda excited once I saw the Note 3 Lollipop video but once they clamped down on the Note 3 and 4 with Verizon I'm done. It appears the Nexus 6 rumors are true and that's what I'm holding out for. It's lacking some things I'll truly miss like removable battery and sd card but for me I've been modding phones since the Audiovox 6700 and I love flashing roms too much to stop. Sorry as I know it's taboo to talk about other phones in this forum.

I too like to be able to mod my phone the way I see fit. If this is how it is going to be with Verizon I too will be jumping ship from Samsung to the Nexus 6. I have a funny feeling that Verizon will try to lock it down as well, so if I decide to go that way I will try to get my Nexus from the play store so I know it will be unlocked and I can do what I want with it.

The Note 3 will see lollipop way down the line.

This is the thing I don't understand about people who are on Verizon. I bought the Note 3 knowing the bootloader was locked down and that rooting and romming was going to be very limited, if at all. This was commen sense. Also Verizon had been locking down phones for how many years now? These complaints just seem maddening or they're coming from people who didn't nt understand what they were getting into.

I had no problem with the boot loader, I was happy using Safestrap. At least I could do some customizing that way.

I heard Samsung was upset with carriers that they take so long to push updates they already have. it hurts them in the long run verizon doesn't care what phone you have. So it goes Google Samsung then carrier or Verizon rather. So they take a long time. Only phone I belive to get fastest updates are Google like nexus. I believe they push it directly to those phones themselves.
