Android 5.1.1 for the Galaxy E5 released in Sri Lanka

It was reported earlier this year that the Galaxy E5 and the Galaxy E7 will be updated to Lollipop in the near future and just last month the much awaited Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update started rolling out for the Galaxy E5 in Russia and India. Now the same update has been released for folks who own the Galaxy E5 in Sri Lanka. The update brings an improved user interface, tweaks to the lockscreen, heads-up notifications as well as enhancements for performance and battery life.

Firmware details:

Model SM-E500F
Model name GALAXY E5
Country Sri Lanka
Version Android 5.1.1
Changelist 5683839
Build date Wed, 26 Aug 2015 12:29:47 +0000

CSC E500FODD1BOH2

We believe that this is one of the greatest mid-range smartphones that Samsung has ever created so if you’re in the market for a smartphone in this range perhaps you should check out the Galaxy E5. The update has started rolling out in Sri Lanka, it’s also readily available for download through our firmware section for those who don’t mind manually flashing it on their device.

Samsung when are you giving lollipop for galaxy e7 i got tired fo waiting realy you guys dont care please update it soon

ansarifauwaz

The Lollipop Update is Worst. Ruined my Battery Backup way too much. Lags too much. No Outdoor Option now. Lost Shutter Animation & The worst part is if i revert back to 4.4.4 it forces me back to go to 5.1.1. I don’t want 5.1.1. At least not a Buggy one.

When GALAXY E7 will start getting lollipop update

zabayin

Hey Samsung …
Why Not Give Lollipop For E7 (SM-E700H) ???
Why Give Lollipop to E5 ???
(E5 is cheaper than Than E7 .. should priority to more expensive buyers )
E7 Is Really Sucks when playing Clash Of Clans …
Waiting For Update .. But its really don’t care customers.
If U don’t give update in End of Q3 … I’m ready to tell You “Bye Bye Samsung “

the funny thing samsung does is always with the updates..i have been waiting for a 5.1.1 update for my note 4 which is N910G by the way..all other variants of note 4 have received the update but this one..what is going on..i am totally fed up with samsungs update policy. thinking of moving back to iphone..at least i got to use the latest updates..
even more frustrating thing is that i paid so much for this device and it turns out samsung is updating the crappy core prime before my note 4..just fed up with samsung

Bravo Samsung, the ten buyers of your devices from Sri Lanka are happy now, other millions from other countries can wait. Strange priorities you have lately Samsung and you manage to disappoint more and more people, you’re good at that.

It certainly feels like galaxy s5 users are going to overlooked just as galaxy s3 users where with kitkat. My daughters moto e has lollipop 5.1.1 and yet my s5 is stuck on 5.0. It may be time to root and flash a custom ROM as the warranty from samsung isn’t worth the paper it is written on!

I have a galaxy e5 same build from sri lanka but the build number is not the same, so can i install this one even its not the same build number?

I updated my E5 today with the kazakhistan rom and so far it works beautifully! The phone is now more smoother but the only problem I am facing now is reduced battery life but i cannot make a final verdict now because its only been 3 hours since i updated-probably phone will take some time to get used to the software and then it’ll perform accordingly 😉
peace ✌

Why not come lolllipop update for the Galaxy e7, a marker was by far my favorite, but then I do not think Samsung Samsung brand to get a device to last device e7, formally disappointing ….
