Samsung rolls out Lollipop for the Galaxy Alpha in France
Just yesterday we reported that Samsung had started rolling out the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the Galaxy Alpha in South Korea. Most major carriers in the country rolled out said update to Galaxy Alpha owners on their networks yesterday. We also said that this means Samsung would soon be rolling out Lollipop for this device in other markets across the globe, and it hasn’t taken too long for the company to get the ball rolling on this.
Today Samsung has released Android 5.0 Lollipop for the Galaxy Alpha in France. The roll out started this morning, as confirmed by Samsung France’s official Twitter account. It shouldn’t take too long for this update to go live for all Galaxy Alpha owners in the country. The update brings loads of new features for the device aside from an overhauled user interface, performance improvements and overall system enhancements. It comes in at just under 1GB and Galaxy Alpha owners will be wise to connect to a Wi-Fi network before they start downloading it.
@adnanfarooqui Bonjour ! La mise à jour est en cours de déploiement depuis ce matin, elle vous sera proposée très vite ! 🙂

Last night I installed on my Galaxy Alpha Android Lollipop before installing the battery had 80%. Today I have 33%. Since the installation of lapsing 12H. Phone sail fast, but when you use the WI FI battery fairly quickly running out. I changed the advanced settings WI FI and settled down or the battery does not run quite as fast as before.
How’s the battery life? I need to know.
Not from France and flashed it with odin. At first there was problem with the sound software but I just flashed it again and everything works super smooth. Absolutely great. 5.1.1 now please
@QASJAMIL If you want to revert to 4.4.4 Kitkat, you need to download the firmware from the site’s G850F archive. Or you could just reinstall the firmware. That is an unusual problem you have.
After updating my alpha smg850f via odin to 5.0.2 (XEF) my left soft key has stopped working. Is it only with me or somebody else is also facing this same problem? And how can I downgrade my firmware to 4.4.4 so that I can use my left soft key again or any possible solution for my problem. Please help
I did not encountered any problems till now
hey did you find a fix to the softkey problem ? I’m facing the same issue… -_-“
I have updated my alpha 850F in Romania using XEF France version 5.0.2 from sammobile.com using its instructions. Everything it’s fine and works great. Enjoy for 850F owners.
Na, after lollipop for big memory leak, i prefer to stick to kit kat
It is fine on alpha works fast and no lag
Samsung when u update lollipop firmware for galaxy note 4 sm-n910c saudi arabia csc? Its too late very disapointed buying samsung note 4 f***
backup data (Kies 3), wipe data & factory reset, apply Kit Kat 4.4.4 for XEF (last issued in jan 2015) with Odin, then again wipe data & factory reset, open phone, go to settings > about phone > check updates – voila, instantly starts downloading OTA of about 849 Mb (be sure you have about 60% battery minimum), after instal and initial settings do restore initial data (from Kies) – everything smooth, perfect! nothing goes wrong, on the contrary so give it a try!
…and yes, you don’t need to be rooted and procedure does not trip the Knox counter since everything is stock!
Daca ii pun XEF 5.0.2(am aflat si eu ce inseamna, intre timp)…pe viitor o sa fie dependent de update-urile din Franta?
Hi, are u living in France? I’m from Romania and I would like to know if the procedure above could work as well. Thanks

Salut, sincer nu stiu ce inseamna XEF…daca am acum 4.4.4 pe el nu am cum sa pun Lollipop pana vine automat? cu backup-ul in Kies ai facut restore la tot,…ca personal nu as vrea sa ii dau reset si sa o iau de la inceput cu el. Putem vb in alta parte….facebook sau….??!? merci,
