Hi!
Is Nov update out for unlocked S9?
Planning to purchase S9 from Samsung, but trying to find out if unlocked unit really gets updates quicker than T-Mobile variant. I usually buy unlocked models, but sometimes T-Mobile updates carrier branded Galaxy phones with some specific fixes. In other words I just want to make sure that T-Mobile device and unlocked S9 will perform the same on T-Mobile network and support all features including Band 71
Any one?

You can buy unlocked and flash T-Mobile G960U firmware. You'll get updates faster with all the specific fixes (unlocked updates are quite slower unfortunately).

The wording of your title is completely different than your question. Yes they did send out a November 1 update coupled with the Pie beta. That answers your title question but I don't have an answer for your post. Maybe the question is getting looked over because of that.

LOL, just busting your chops. The only mention of the Nov 1 security update I've seen is in connection with the Pie beta though.
I just checked and the update is G960U1ES3ARJ6 security patch Nov 1. It seems like they are having a lot of updates but it could be because I was use to my Moto X Pure that didn't get any updates.
My Samsung unlocked GS9 for Verizon received an update today.

I have an unmodified unlocked S9 bought from Samsung G960U1 and used on T-Mobile. I received the October security patches sent OTA in early November. In fact I seem to recall I got the September patches in early October, and the August patches in September. Which is why I now expect my security patches to be "one month behind."

Hmm, so your model is just an unlocked unit which gets updates straight from Samsung. I wonder is T-Mobile is any better... As another user suggested earlier, I could possibly flash the phone with T-Mobile firmware and get updates from the carrier(if it is better with updates)

Anyone have any idea or hear any news of when Android 8.1 will be pushed to UK Nokia 6.1? News online 4-5 days ago that it started rolling out OTA in India?
Nothing here on my UK model. Stuck on February security patch.
I got the 8.1 update with the april patch a few days ago (april 13rd) in france
Is yours a European spec model or from Asia?

Good to hear it is being pushed in Europe. Hopefully get it this week!
I got it from Carphone Warehouse here in the UK, they got exclusive rights to sell it. Model TA-1050.

Its annoying. Hopefully get it rolled out ASAP.
Mine is from Carphone Warehouse too. I've tried using a VPN to spoof that I'm in India and France but nothing is coming through.
I'm hoping that 8.1 will allow me to use the more recent Google Pixel camera APKs as I'm currently having to use an ancient one in order for HDR processing to work.

My only criticism of the phone is the camera, like you say, hopefully the update will allow us to use the updated camera apps.

What's your model number? Mine says TA-1050
I've tried using a VPN to spoof being in France with no luck. I wonder if it's tied to my IMEI.
Any suggestions as to something else that might work would be good.

Mine is also TA-1043 version 5
According to https://nokiapoweruser.com/variants-nokia-7-plus-8-sirocco-6-plus-1-emerge-various-certifications/ there are 5 Nokia 6.1 variants : TA-1050, TA-1043, TA-1045, TA-1016, TA-1054
I bought a TA-1043 from amazon.de (shipped to ireland) and i have not gotten the 8.1 upgrade either....
Does anyone know what the difference between the various models (1043 / 1050) is?
I just got the TA-1043 in Hungary from Germany (Amazon) and got 8.1 on first boot.
Anyone with the TA-1050 model got this update yet? I'm not very impressed given my security patch is from the 1st Feb... It's nearly May.
Anyone know what model lauched in USA the other day? Be interesting to see if they also got the update out the box.
Carphone Warehouse have exclusivity in the UK - not sure if my model is 'their' brand and therefore has slowed updates. Bit annoying that the brand new Nokia 6 is behind the old Nokia 6 with updates though - kind of makes me wonder what the real point of Android One is.

Yeah I don't think that makes a difference. They are sim free/unlocked devices.
As an android one phone, the updates are pushed directly from Google OTA (supposedly). Just find it strange that it's still not pushed in the UK.

You don't happen to be with EE do you? I seen someone complaining about Nokia phones not receiving update due to EE... On an unlocked phone... I don't have another sim to try.

Considering i have a TA-1043 (same as a user above who also ordered off Amazon Germany but is based in hungary and received the update on first boot), i'm guessing the updates are just country limited. UK/Ireland seem to be down the pecking order.
Has anyone tried connecting over a VPN to do the update (or at least download it)?
I’ve tried. No luck.

Why is it c432 is getting all the support and updates and us on 732 are still stuck on 120 and June security patch?

Because you have a branded phone and your carrier releases the updates later than c432 which is stock no branded. Also the build number may differ from stock c432.

My phone is not branded and was purchased SIM free from the carphone warehouse in the UK.
Not on contract and no branding so that's not the reason.

you can rebrand your device to another region code. Search for "rebrand [device name]. This is dangerous territory so be sure you really know what you do unless you wanna have a very pretty paper weight.
New 163 firmware has appeared on Firmware Finder for those interested.
C782 still on .120
All updates for C782 go through operator approval even if you have bought a SIM free device from Carphone Warehouse. This process takes a long time and if one network rejects the update then will cause further delays.

What has it got to do with whatevef network your on? I have a sim free phone and can use multiple sims.
Are you effectively saying that no networks in the UK have approved the update for their devices and as such everyone is being delayed even though your device is not restricted by carrier bloatware and settings

Correct. C782 is a UK specific firmware that comes on all carrier provided handsets and through retailers like Carphone Warehouse. Huawei no longer provide carrier specific firmware.
C432 EU firmware does not go through any carrier approval, so updates are rolled out quicker. UK updates are provided by Huawei but they have to be approved by the major carriers. Three, Vodafone, EE, O2. Only when they approve firmware will Huawei make it available.
This is why the UK is still on B120 with B150 (build 3rd August) is pending approval. EU meanwhile has seen 3 major updates since B120.
If you have a bootloader unlock code, it's well worth changing your device to C432 so you can get updates quicker, and get away from the BS that plagues the UK update process.

Thanks for the full reply. I never thought that would be the case. I assumed I had purchased a completely 'clean' phone as such and would not have the update issue. In fairness the phone has been performing great but I don't like being left out of all the update goodness that comes along.
Does the c432 latest updates bring much in the way of improvements to the phone and would be worth changing over too?
Hi
I’ve been having a discussion with Samsung over the lack of security updates for the A5 2017 (SM-A520F). They claimed on purchase the phone would receive security updates until 2020. One update released this year from them in NZ. Does anyone know how many security updates the phone has had released in other countries this year?

At least two for the a520W, which is Canadian.

Samsung doesn't care about us
I don't know the answer but I remember we were among they very last to get the 10 update so this seems to be a repeat. The monthly security updates were coming out reasonably quick for awhile but these system updates have been way late.

My Note10+ Snapdragon N9750 haven't got updates since more than 2 months, it is still on June security patch and it is the only variant that didn't get july & August security patches, which is very Strange in deed. Is Samsung punishing us for buying Snapdragon variant instead of Exynos :laugh:

Updates, no such thing.
Running a AT&T phone means any update would "upgrade" it the Q... I like Pie a lot.
Been running Android dinosaurs for over 5 years with very few issues and only one malware forced reload.
No sweat, still running the last good MS load, W7x64 too. Whatever.
Infuriating that Samsung and its carrier partners give you only 2 options or 3 -if- you can root... even if you choose to follow they are slow to lead. Perfect.
Same here. June update only. The best model of note 10 plus with no updates from samsung?*
I kind of knew this going in. Unlocked models in general get things later. Would be nice but certain I'm not missing anything.
