The speculation has been widespread. Some suggest that the Exynos 2600 application processor (AP), produced by Samsung Foundry using its 2nm GAA technology, will be the driving force behind the majority of the Samsung Galaxy S26 models, including the Galaxy S26 Ultra in certain regions. Previously, Samsung Foundry encountered challenges with the yield of its 3nm production, resulting in a shortage of Exynos 2500 APs for the Galaxy S25 series. The standard Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra models are all equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor. This marks a shift from previous models, such as the Galaxy S24 series, which used both Snapdragon and Samsung's own Exynos chipsets, depending on the region. While during Qualcomm's recent earnings call following the release of its fiscal Q4 earnings, the company said that it expected its new Snapdragon chip to be found in 75 percent of the Galaxy S26 handsets.

Verizon has just pushed an OTA update dubbed as build version MMB29M.G900VVRS2DPL1 on Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V). The update is said to optimize the device performance, resolve known issues and apply the latest security patches, according to big red's announcement. This is considerably means that this update will not bring any adverse effect nor noticeable changes to the device. However, the latter contains the December Android Security maintenance packaged released by Google itself.
Furthermore, this update will replace the previous released version MMB29M.G900VVRU2DPJ2 and it is now the 5th Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update we’ve seen landed on Verizon Galaxy S5 alone. Even though this device has been already succeeded by the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S7 for a quite some time now, but it is still rocking around competing the newer ones.
Previous Update:
This is usually how the carrier branded or locked Samsung Galaxy S5, performs a software update. This method is Firmware Update through over the air or called as OTA update, which most often a notification message will directly send out to you from your network provider and notifies you that there is a new update available for download. If you did not receive any notification messages you can manually check for the update instead. Doing so you may only navigate on your Galaxy S5 SM-G900V Settings > System updates > Check for new system update.
It will automatically tells you that a new update is available. You can simply tap install now when you want to perform an update or install later.

Prior to "upgrading" to marshmallow, I was able to mirror my screen to my screen beam mini 2. Since getting marshmallow I can only mirror my screen to newer Samsung TVs. It's definitely a Verizon issue from what I've read. Apparently there is a fix but the phone needs to be rooted, Verizon does not like rooting so they keep putting out "security fixes" to prevent people from rooting. DON'T UPGRADE, ROOT AS SOON AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE! The upgrades have made my phone less useful than when I bought it. This should be illegal!
ReplyDeleteSame here, the upgrade drains my battery
ReplyDeletesince this myself and another G5 user at work have had the same problem. our screen flickers and stutters as it shuts down. this also happens as it starts up. this is very very annoying. she actually gave p her phone because of it. I am not in the position to do so. I would really like to find a fix.
