A50 December security update - Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion

Seems december security updates are getting out in EU.

Yup, I have just updated (Czechia).

Does it fix the flashlight bug and slow charging issues?

Does it do anything to solve the horrible fingerprint issue from the November update?

Your version is different mate.
These are SL3 versions.
Don't worry, you'll receive it in next update or you might've already received it in previous updates.
It differs verison/area wise !
Cheers !

thank you

See mate, changing the firmware by Odin doesn't technically stop your updates.
But the device has region specific utilities such as network bands, signal reception, etc.
So changing it might cause a trouble but you can always revert back to your original firmware if you take a backup before proceeding.
But if I was you, I wouldn't hurry, it's not like out of the world feature. I would rather wait a month or so, atleast till I get Android 10.
As an android update generally gets all the features, irrespective of the previous regional utilities.
Always backup before proceeding, anyways.
Hope that guides you, cheers !

I have the patch 121 mb..but no 600 or 700mb...maybe next mounth..i hope

The December feature update seems to be out in Russia (SER), so probably other devices in Europe will follow.

It's actually already January one, Samsung new years surprise.
Edit: Smart capture is here, no screen recorder. They finally fixed black text with Night mode when editing a VPN connection. Sms app has quick icons now next to text field, also adds Quick responses (configurable in Settings). Weather app has a Map and Videos inside. Didn't find anything else.

Updating right now in the Netherlands.
I hope the camera has really improved, because that's the only factor that still makes me want an S-series phone.

Was Netflix there before? Seems to be baked in.
Wow, that's a pretty substantial update. Can bootloader be unlocked now?
Edit, just read the other thread, great news, it seems unlocking is now allowed!
Very nice, wonder when (if there is any plan) will the Nougat be?

I have no doubt we will get nougat. Keep in mind that the GS7 & 7 Edge don't have Nougat released yet. Also it seems maybe the Camera is improved abit with the update. Really a solid phone for $299, loving it.

I am very excited to hear all of these. Mine is coming tomorrow.
I've watched LeEco Le 2 can survive water test for at least a minute (maybe similar protection [IP53] that Pixel phone offers) so that will be a bonus from this awesome phone.
is x720 compatible with this update or should i wait some more?
US an CN are two different phones

Widgets crashing on restart
Has anyone else noticed certain widgets crashing/not starting on reboot? I've noticed two particular widgets not starting on reboot:
1) Battery Widget Pro
2) Dark Sky
Netflix WAS added. Sucks that you can't uninstall, just disable, but the bigger point is let US decide what we do and don't want, not you Leeco.

Huawei's Honor 6X is officially getting Nougat and EMUI 5.0 next month

Here's what Huawei said:
"The new EMUI for Honor 6X will be arriving next month, and it’s been updated based on consumer feedback. In case you or your team is planning a full review any time soon, it might be worthwhile to wait!"
http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/02/02/huawei-says-honor-6x-will-getting-nougatemui-5-march/
Previously I read on Chinese forum is Q1 for China, so they move forward the schedule for global as well.
Hope they can add a double tap to wake in the future update!
This is awesome..I am on Chinese variant so should get fast, may be

The main differences are in the multitasking view and about the toggles style, if you have any specific question I'm always around here to answer

How customisable is the navigation bar?
One of the things I miss most (coming from cm13) is the ability to put a constant menu button on the lower right hand corner. Yes yes it's the same function of a button in most apps but that button is on the upper left corner of the screen (usually) while my thumb is usually on the lower right corner.

New Firmware 47.1.A.12.34

Out for a few markets, based on the build number alone I would say just a bump to the January security update.
Downloading now (233,4MB for customized DE)
Edit: Can confirm, it's security update 1.1.2018
Device feels a lot snapier (like scrolling etc.).
Didn't find anything new.
Can't see any difference except security updates from 1.1.2018.
BTW guys, do you use notifications "priorities" in drop-down notifications panel?
Since the start of using XZ1c I have put my monitoring app to low priority so the app's notification bar was very slim in the notifications panel.
I've done hard reset now when updating the phone and I can't see such feature any more. Did they move it somewhere or it's gone?
I'm not talking about configuring audio/vibrations - this feature it's there for apps created for Oreo - I'm talking about customizing notification bar size in drop-down notifications panel.
****, blank screen in Smart Lock still exists, even after latest update

Try to long press mini button in notification panel, al appear a new hidden menu, should be what you are looking for
Anyone who got this update using Linux and would like to give USB-Tethering a try? I'm stuck on an old version (47.1.A.5.51) and on this one, USB tethering download speeds are terrible (lots of RX packet errors, <1Mbps download speed). This was also an issue with some OnePlus phones which was fixed with a software update, so I'm hopeful that Sony will also fix it (although seeing how the smart lock blank screen bug is still there, my hopes aren't very high)

This enables/disables UI Calibrator (addidtional submenu in System menu) but there are no options regarding notifications.
What I'm talking about is shown below. Earlier I was able to assign chosen apps (for example System Panel monitoring tool) to low priority notifications, in picture below these are Clipper+, Network Monitor and USB charging device. "Android System 2 apps are using battery" is a normal priority notification here:

This is getting really depressing; those of us using USA firmware are being treated as second-class citizens. We're still on 47.1.A.2.234 with the August 2017 security patch.
Hm I didn't get an OTA as well and I'm on the North Columbian build (I think).
Don't want to reflash everything just because of a security patch.

I went looking for a manual firmware update for the g8141 on the US version and don't see it. that sucks! I would suggest you consider flashing to CE1, not only will it enable your fingerprint scanner it's updated more frequently.

There's a workaround for that. In Security, go to Trusted Agents and turn off smart lock, then reboot and turn it back on and the problem is solved.

Is "CE1" an official stock firmware? I haven't done any firmware flashing since the days of Symbian; could you perhaps point me to a "Sony firmware flashing 101" tutorial that you would recommend? I want to make sure that I do it correctly. Thanks.

Customized DE and GEL seem to get updates even faster than CE1 from what I've seen. CE1 is still on 8.49 as of writing this, but DE and GEL are on 12.34. I'm currently running Customized UK and thinking of switching to one of those since I'm impatient.

power useage
Any other feedback on the new firmware? Still not availabe here in the UK.
What's the battery life like?

You are right. Don't know why, but right after update I only had 4 modes available. Checked it again, now I have 5 as before.
Whatever happened here.
How to updated and keep root ?

Same as always. Install update, DO NOT REBOOT, in Magisk choose to install to inactive slot, reboot.
If you have magisk modules enabled you might want to disable or uninstall those before installing the update as some modules can cause the device to boot loop after an update.
Thanks, works great
Anyone else WiFi is pretty slow to reconnect to your router after every reboot or when you turn wifi off and back on

I'm having the same problem. Connexion used to be incredibly fast and now it takes a while to connect.

Just a note to people like me waiting for AA global - I was told by OnePlus that it should come out in the next few days.
Was also told it comes later because the India and European updates are regional, and AA is global, so there is more work needed to prepare it for all the rest
Can someone Co firm that this update do not removes nor modify the color camera?
Is there any camera improvement that is worth the upgrade?

Have seen nothing on the upcoming AA, but should be the same as the ones out already. So check them out.
The change log report the add of the h.265 code to the video. That would be a nice improvement

Dunno if there’s an actual difference since i cannot compare to others however the version number differs as in Eu the files are numbered from 4 instead of 3

To me
Afterparty launchers didn’t carry some gestures from the original launcher (swipe apps and accidental touch)
Some mistakes in some translations and some margins in some buttons
Kill all apps button in the show all apps screen didn’t work properly
Audio problems with some dongle dacs (though don’t think it will be addressed)
Security patch from November (i mean… not a biggie but still its nice to be updated)
Notifications not showing up from time to time
Don’t know if anyone else experienced this but sometimes the brightness “flickers” or dims up and down in low light condition, don’t know if anyone else addressed that
That’s all i remember as of now
Security Patch is January 1, 2023
Performance seems fine so far. Didn't have any issues before.

The brightness flicker is really annoying in the morning/evening when it's really noticeable... hopefully that's been fixed
I think they will fix something with the update since they pulled it out yesterday and hasn't been available as of yet
with this google security update can you still disable all googles services?
as far as i know this maybe the only phone you can degoogle without rooting

So what do you think is the phone better after the update?
The full install package fixed a ton of things for me, including sound drivers,issue with dts, some colors in the notification menu and the screen brightness problem at night
