S5 to receive update on Tuesday May 31

[HBlain]

According to the Verizon website there is an update for our S5's to come Tuesday. No indication if it's Marshmallow or security patch. What's your guess?

Saw on a different site, it's 6.0.1 with the May 1 security patch. Some are able to receive the update now.

What website did you see it on? I'm trying to get it early too.

The 5/31/2016 date came from http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/software-updates/, the link itself either isn't updated yet or the update is going to be a security patch.

I got a message back from Verizon on Facebook and they said its Marshmallow

Marshmallow roll-out begins today:

Samsung Galaxy S 5 Software Update | Verizon Wireless

I updated my GS5 to 6.0.1. The download and installation took well over a half hour due to the file sizes. I briefly panicked after the phone came back up because it looked like none of the applications I had previously moved to my SD card to save space carried over -- icons were grayed out and clicking on them gave a message that the app was not installed. However, the phone soon rebooted again and the apps all appear to be working now. I haven't had time to play with it and am back at work now, so my fingers are crossed.

I did activate the HD calling feature so that I could activate Wi-Fi calling, then deactivated the Wi-Fi calling for now. I'm just thinking this will come in handy next time I travel to Canada, but not much use here where VZW has strong coverage anyway.

You might not have to activate the S5 to get the update. The last couple of updates that I had were completed on inactive devices.
