Another update already? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers

Just got another OTA update for my S7A. That's 2 in a week. Not sure what's in this one, though. Hmmm...

I got one yesterday in the morning. When I looked at the "release date", it said August 1st. Interesting how long it took to land on my device, but I haven't noticed any changes. I too have had 2 updates since I turned it on for the first time. I think the latest is just security updates.

It's been 3 days snd STILL NO UPDATE!

You obviously don't understand how these carrier updates are done. They push these updates in waves to 50k or whatever devices at a time. Its just not your time jabroni

Well, I'm in the same boat with one huge exception.
My OTA update came yesterday and despite sitting right next to my wireless router it completely stopped downloading about halfway through. The option to resume the download is unselectable and if I ask it to check for an update it says that my current software is up to date. What gives?

id be willing to bet a battery pull would get it to redownload
Unfortunately no luck here either.

April security update

Has anyone gotten their April security OTA yet? I received the phone a few weeks ago and flashed the March OTA right away and relocked bootloader afterwards because I did not want to sit through several incremental updates. So I am wondering if something went wrong. Does it usually take this long after a new factory image is released for it to get pushed OTA? Sorry, this is my first Nexus since the Galaxy Nexus/Nexus S days.
I own an italian LG Nexus 5X (32 GB variant) and I have received no April update for my phone till now... still waiting

Sometimes ive gotten then within a week sometimes not for 3 weeks ish. Seems fairly random.
Just read up on sideloading the OTA update via ADB, thats what I do now rather than wait. Doesnt need any bootloader unlocking or anything.
Same here: i suggest you to read this https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/fOAWe8jMRsQ so you'll be more relaxed.
We get it when we get, that's all!
I'm on international variant of the 5x on AT&T here in US and I received the OTA already for April
I've got news!
My Nexus 5X received the OTA tonight at 8.00 PM
Got mine in UK at about 6pm tonight

I'm also waiting for the update to show up.
I'm also based in the UK and got mine already last week. One thing, though: I've noticed that after the update, the location icon will at one point start to show up permanently in the notification bar, and whenever that happens, my battery drains pretty quickly. Only solution I found was to turn off gps/location. Is anyone else also experiencing this?
got mine in ćzech at 13.april

New xl but old security and 7.1.1?

Just got a brand new unlocked pixel XL yesterday (uk). It's still on February security patch and 7.1.1. Contacted Google support (who aren't really helpful or knowledgeable it seems) and they say it's fine and can take a couple weeks after updates are released but it's been months since 7.1.2 and this is July security we are up to now. The rep also try to say 7.1.2 is beta?.
I just upgraded from Nexus 5x which was right up to date with 7.1.2 and July patch. Is anyone else still on old security and os or is mine not doing something right?
Thanks

We are supposed to have the July security update?? I received mine straight from Google last week on 7.1.2 and june security
Yes, the July update is out now. My pixel actually lost sound after failing to update.
Are you simply waiting for the ota, or are you physically checking? If youre waiting, got settings, phone status, and at the very top should be system updates. Click on it and check for new software.

I think the rep meant it can take up to two weeks after the phone is activated to receive a security update. If your Pixel XL is brand new then it's been sitting in a warehouse with the power off so it wouldn't be up to date when you got it. Mine kept showing that there were no available updates until I rebooted the phone--then all of a sudden the latest update popped up as being available for download. I'm on Project Fi though--if you are on Verizon or another carrier it might take a little longer for the update to hit your phone.
best to manually check, it's the only way I've ever found them, if I know the update is out, I'll normally try the check a couple of times and then the update pops up.

When I got my new Pixel XL I was on an old build of Android and checked manually on and off all day and it never showed an available update which was driving me batty. For some reason I decided to reboot my phone at 1:30 am and the reboot took a really long time which was making me concerned. But when the phone finally booted up I got a message that an update was downloaded and available to install. The update actually downloaded while the phone was rebooting.

might be different if it's already updated as I've had mine since day 1. (was surprised I got it only ordered about a week before launch due to the Note 7 mess up)

Question about an update I just received OTA

So I just received a notification about a system update for my phone. It's just very strange since I've never received one on this phone at all. I'm stock/rooted. on AT&T. It says it's about 1.2GB in size. Just wondering if anyone else had received anything like that? I really do need to update my phone, hell I think I'm still on the December patch. I'm not a noob but have been stuck on un-rootable phones for the last 3 years or so and things have changed quite a bit from what I'm used to

If you are still on December's patch then there will be more than 1 update. Although 1.2 gigs seems high for a monthly patch

Yeah, I thought the same thing. I was just going to update to the newest patch and see if the update still came up or not. I'm curious to what it is since it is such a large size. See pic.
I received it as well, with exactly the same size as yours.
And my system version is up to March...
I'm on May and just got the message.

Your first instinct was correct. Update your phone manually and ignore any OTA's.

anyone else get the May 1st security update?

Just got this today and was wondering if its a go to update.
I had this update days ago, I didnt notice any different
