When will Verizon release 5.1.1 for the Galaxy S5

[wlm9700]

AT&T released 5.1.1 for the S5 in November.

Months later...here we sit - on 5.0

No hope in sight for Marshmallow or an end to the endless battery drains while other S5's live on to rule another day.

I will never buy a Verizon branded phone again.

Ever since upgrading to 5.0. I've done a factory reset, which definitely helped, but it is still no where near as good as it used to be when on 4.4.

I even bought a new OEM battery and had an ever so slight improvement, but at the end of an 8hr work day, my phone is down to 30-40% with moderate use (text, a few phone calls, and checking email).

To the OP and all others thinking 5.1.1 will be out anytime soon, Save your breath.. it isn't gonna happen. period. With MM coming out this month or next (Or more likely August), they are not going to release an update just to roll out a new android OS version a month or two later.. 

Like I said earlier, This is the way Verizon works.. It is easier for them to just roll up all the updates into the next major OS release and yes that means a very long wait but again that's the way Verizon works so we are all use to being last for everything right?

Please stop asking for things we all know will never happen. Thank-You..

We want you to get the most out of your battery Blur125. Thank you for all you have done so far. Do you have a lot of apps running in the background on your device? What does your phone show is using most of the battery? http://vz.to/1Ra2CbY

April 21st and still - nothing. Other carriers are already pushing Marshmallow to the S5.

Will never buy a verizon branded phone again. What a rip off. After payments, will have paid $600 for a phone that after 2 years is worth MAYBE $150, mostly due to the fact that its loaded with Verizon bloatware and still stuck on 5.0

Buying a Nexus once I hit October, Verizon phones suck. Love how their iPhones are pure Apple iOS, but their Android phones all have to have their carrier branding.
