This will begin the reboot automatically, and the installing system update notification will start, and the upgrade will automatically start proceeding. Once the process is complete, the device will run on Android Marshmallow.

There was a lot of excitement surrounding the Android Marshmallow update, but it looks like there are some glitches that Samsung needs to address immediately.

The primary problem that users of Samsung Galaxy S5 are facing with their update is that the phone is locking them out because of some faults in the password and the fingerprint security features.

It is important to mention that not all devices have faced this issue. There are a few devices which have gone through this and tech experts are suggesting that they hold off from updating their devices to the Android Marshmallow.
