Hi.
I just saw notification on samsung members that they will push patch update to our galaxy phones which will somehow resolve the fingerprint issue with protector and covers.
Any idea when it is coming?
Screenshot is attached.
Hard to say, maybe in November
Yes but as pee their notification, chances are that we may get it next week.
Received it 3 days ago on my BTU SM-N976B, so you shouldn't have to long a wait I'd guess.
Tsskkk.. That's if providers don't get involved. Just like the October update, that was supposed to be very important, and was released a couple weeks ago, add always, providers ruin the flow.
It's been said for years, but Samsung needs to push all updates, and not let the providers get involved(yes, not realistic, but we're can all dream the dream), add all they do is slow down and mess up things..

Agree.
Saw this on https://youtu.be/COJM29WI2TY and it seems to debunk the fingerprint issue

Yes, I have seen some posts that show that in reality, it is hard to fool the fp scanner, well, is not easy, I really do not care as I preffer pins or passwords
Am I the only one that hates the Samsung Members app?? Only notice I see is about using USB-C headphones... That's all I've ever seen.. Blah!
Finally got the fingerprint update notification. Installed and loving it. The delay time from finger touch and opening the phone is much faster. Still not as fast but speed is so much improved.
I wonder if they can further increase the rate of which the screen pops open to make it seem faster?

I got a firmware update for the usb-c and biometrics update today. Fingerprint seems more accurate and faster. I couldn't user it before the update due to too many no matches.
I'm on Verizon and bought the phone through them. Seems Samsung is sending these updates to everyone directly.

Its probably a notification for the galaxy store since i disabled all other samsung apps. It updates the fingerprint apk. Its not a system update from my t-mobile carrier.
Just got my biometric security update. Pushed to my phone directly. I'm on Verizon but wife hasn't got her update yet on her Note 10 also on Verizon.
Edit: Wife got her Note 10 update moments after I posted.
Just got mine in Indonesia. Comes through as 4.2MB biometric update on the notification shade.

Looks like Samsung may release LolliPop to our beloved Note 4 sooner rather than later.... but how long will the carriers take before turning it around for us?

I will be shocked if we see it before April 2015 on AT&T. Samsung will have to massage it, then AT&T has to bloat it.
I hope I'm wrong.

I'll probably have sold the Note4 before it gets lollipop.
In 6 months of owning the S5, it was never upgraded to 4.4.4

4.4.4 has only been out for 4 months, you think you'd have it already on a carrier specific phone, and samsung at that? and with 4.4.4 being a minor update?
By the time 4.4.4 released, Sammy was already well into working on 5.0 Why do the work for a minor update when you could just go straight for the big release?

And? That means nothing. What is it you think you're missing out on with the 4.4.4 update? In answering that 99.99% of people are going to have to look up what the update even entitled.... Can't complain about not getting something that changes absolutely nothing in your phones functionality / aesthetics / UI

I was shocked when Verizon released it, they are usually really slow. ..
And to answer Techsavvy2's question, in Verizon at least, the GS5 4.4.4 update fixed many Bluetooth issues that were present in 4.4.2. But I agree with Tech's point in that new for new's sake is a little pointless.

I hope we see it before the New Year, although I know the odds of that happening are almost nil. I also hope Samsung adopts the new aesthetic as much as possible, though their current version of Touchwiz is much better than previous versions.
Hope so. Not going to hold my breath waiting though.

Thanks and I hear you, the news sites seem to be the biggest offenders.
At least it is good news
Hopefully as stated earlier in the thread it holds true for AT&T. Maybe they will realize with such a big OS release that people will want it sooner than later.
I have a feeling AT&T is going to delay it for at least a month while it figures out what features they want to disable to add in their own bloated, pay to use version of it !
Why is it called lollipop.....suckers.....
So maybe now a nexus 6 is looking good?
Good.luxk getting one.

Since August, I've been receiving at least one update EVERY month.
This one is out - and it's not even the end of November.
Its unprecedented! Anyone else? I think Samsung is doing very well. And the phone is better with battery usage after every update.
I'm very impressed... anyone else?
November....
Wow.
December security update!
They're like clockwork now.
And....where's everyone gone?!
I also received the update today. 2 updates in a single month from Samsung!

It would be the same one just issues on a different day. It's January though.

From a marketing standpoint it is really amazing, cause Samsung made S6E+ too good. They would normally bury a too good phone.

I read your reply today and I've checked if I have an update waiting for me aswell and it turns out although we live in different countrires in EU thre's an sec. update waiting for me.... about the same size.
But this one is strange. Even if full LTE signal It downloads very slowly. I wonder why?
BTW you have nice theme. Do you beleive I'm still runninng the stock defaut theme..... gosh...
I'm sure (I hope) You all (especialy XDA users) know the theory of making a device worse in performance (more lagging, lessm battery life etc.) by hidding a spcial code in sec. updates.
Well maybe that's what Samsung is doing cause like I've told You a thousand times S6E+ is (maybe until S9) the pbest fone release yet.
To motivate ppl to upgrade even from S8 Samsung may start rolling out bad updates.
Today I've talked to a guy that suddenly, 2-3 days after the premiere of S9/S9+ saw that his S8 has suddenly slowed down. He didn't install any new apps or did nothing unusual. Even didnt get the Oreo update.
Think about that.
I've isntalled the sec update. Have now from 1st Feb 2018 and for some time I see that espcially the battery life is going suddenly down.
You need to know that since I purchaed the phone I used it only once a month. Latley 4 times a month. Never installed more apps than 5. Even a loooong time ago after purchase I got rid of Microsoft apps and some other non Google and non Samsung.
Something fishy is about that.
WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK about this situation with these updates?

Your lucky, we're still on a June update in NZ. I hope this update wings it's way here really soon. I've been really tempted to throw this piece of junk off a bridge because of the utterly useless fingerprint reader and it unlocking in my pocket. It's the worst mid range phone i have ever owned bar none. Had my rant, feel better now. No more samdung in my life ever once this one dies!

Just wait till you get the August update. I was in the same boat as you. I hated this phone for its camera and useless fingerprint sensor. Hell I had even listed it for sale online. But after the update today the fp works flawlessly. No tricks. No multiple fingerprints. It unlocks instantly. I hope that the next update improves the camera as well. Fingers crossed.
we got update in iran?
Enjoy!

YOU CAN NOT ROLL BACK TO PREVIOUS OS VERSIONS!!
Yup. Received a feature update yesterday with camera improvements on my U1. Then got this update this morning. It's just a security patch BUT PLEASE NOTE!!! This moves you up to bootloader v2. You can NOT roll back to previous versions.
This also tells me the Android 10 beta will have a v2 bootloader when it's pushed, otherwise we wouldn't be able to install it.

In my experience, about every two weeks, the FP sensor gets mega wonky and won't recognize my prints. So I have to re-enter them. Then it works like butter, but slowly degrades in performance for a couple weeks until it's wonky again.
I've got 4 updates on my Note 10+ in the 7 weeks I've had it. Never had so many updates on a device in such a short time and I own a OP6T and P2XL
Maybe we'll be getting Android 10 with One UI 2.0 before the new year. It definitely seems companies are finally pushing updates like they should. We pay a lot of money for these devices so it's good to know they are being supported better these days.

They roll out in waves but certain regions seem to get priority over others...
Kinda sucks balls being on the end of the list and waiting 2 months for an update or feature the forums are all talking about a month or 2 in advance....
Even worse when a security threat is found and we are stuck in limbo wondering if we are gonna get an update soon to fix that which has been found...

Hey, Butchie. I may have to try that. Been getting frustrated with it. Id say it's my Whitestone Dome screen protector, but literally when I first register the prints, it works smooth as butter. Couple weeks later and it's like it doesn't recognize my prints at all.

I was suggested to me to get the active 2 for the new fitness features back in February because of the ECG. I received the updates on my watch last night for the new features. I couldn't fine the app for the life of me so I looked it up. One site suggested that in order to have these new features I would have to have a compatible Samsung phone to get these. Just trying to get a confirmation that I would have to change phones. I have a LG v30 at the moment with no want to upgrade as I am still paying on it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

If not, then many others reported a malfunctioning ecg reader, so the best bet would be to get it repaired from your nearest samsung Service center.
