Galaxy S5 owners on Sprint are going to receive a new software update today but they shouldn’t keep their fingers crossed for Android 5.1. The carrier has merely released a minor update for this handset which adds the factory reset protection feature that Google introduced with Lollipop. It was left out of the initial Android 5.0 update due to the customizations that Samsung usually makes.
The factory reset protection feature is there as a theft deterrent because as long as the feature is enabled nobody can factory reset the device until the Google account credentials are entered. One of the first things that thieves do when they steal a smartphone is to wipe it clean so that tracking tools like Google’s Android Device Manager can not be used to located the handset. Sprint is now rolling out the update version G900PVPU2BOD3 for the Galaxy S5 and it’s going to add the factory reset protection feature and nothing else.
