Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A Gets Android 5.0.1 Lollipop OTA Update



The Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE has received earlier today the first Android 5.0.1 Lollipop OTA Update. The roll out is done in phases and it is currently available only in Czech Republic, Slovakia and Germany.
Android 5.0.1 Lollipop Official OTA Update should arrive for all International Galaxy S4 LTE-A I9506 before the end of this month. The new firmware is available via Samsung KIES, too. Check your phone’s notification panel or connect it to your computer and run KIES and see if there are any new firmware files available for installation.
The official Android 5.0.1 Lollipop OTA Update adds thousands of changes for Galaxy S4 LTE-A devices. After you’re done installing the new firmware files you will notice first the brand new Material Design UI and the revamped TouchWiz interface. Lollipop OS adds new notifications control, lock screen notifications, Priority Mode that only allows notifications from certain contacts, Battery Saving Mode, estimated time left before the phone charges / discharges completely, Device Sharing capabilities, Multiple Users support, Guest User and Screen Pinning. This new update has been pushed out in Europe and it seems like the Galaxy S4 LTE-A owners in other regions will wait a few days more before the Android 5.0.1 OS arrives. If you’re in Czech Republic, Germany, and Slovakia or in any other European country, then you should keep an eye on your phone’s notification panel and be ready to confirm the OTA Update installation when it arrives. Note that the update is rolled out only for Stock Galaxy 4 LTE-A devices, you won’t be getting any new firmware files in case your phone is running a custom ROM.
If the Android 5.0.1 Lollipop update notification hasn’t arrived for you, then you can go to System Updates menu under Settings section and see if there are any new files available for download. Also, make sure to try the Samsung KIES app, too.
