T-Mobile is rolling out the Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 update for Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Galaxy Note 5.
According to T-Mobile's support page, the rollout has started and it will commence in a phased manner for both devices. The model number of Samsung Galaxy Note 5, which is getting the update is N920TUVV2DPD1.
Network carrier T-Mobile was a little late to release the update for Samsung Galaxy Note 5, as Verizon and AT&T have already released it in March. Even Sprint had rolled out the Android Marshmallow update in March-end for the same device.
According to CNET, T-Mobile will roll out the Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 update to all the users of Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ by mid-May. Users can check whether the update is available to them or not, by a manual check. They can go to Settings> System> About Device> Software Update and see if the device prompts for a download.
The Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 update is more than 1 GB in size, so it is recommended that the device has more than 50 percent battery before starting the download. Users are also recommended to attempt the download, when their device is hooked on to a stable Wi-Fi connection, in order to avoid any interruptions. Alternatively, it can also connected to a charger, in case the battery levels are low.
Meanwhile, Google had released Android Marshmallow in Nov. 2015, but it has not yet reached most of the devices. The reason behind the delay is that the network carriers need to test it for each and every device, before they can release the update. Numerous Samsung devices have been slow on the uptake and some of them may directly get the upcoming operating system - Android N.
On the other hand, Android Marshmallow has also been released for numerous other devices, such as Sony Xperia Z series. Sony had to quickly release a patch, when users began to complain about numerous bugs, after the Android Marshmallow update. The patch fixed the issues and now the devices are running fine.
