For owners of the Galaxy S5 under AT&T’s umbrella, you’re set to start receiving an update beginning today, August 28. The wireless carrier has officially announced the update, and outlined what’s available in the new software.

According to the AT&T Support Page, the Galaxy S5 is now receiving an over the air (OTA) update that measures in at 142.8MB. With it, here’s what to expect:

Security updates and patches

Application installation enhancements

Accidental emergency dial fixed on the lock screen

Several lower layer modem crashes and sluggishness improvement enhancements

E-mail UX enhancements

S-View cover error

Re-activation lock improvements

The rollout, as usual with these sorts of things, will take some time to hit every Galaxy S5 out there, so if you don’t receive the update today, keep an eye out for it.
