N976B - update schedule. - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

Hi All. I recently got a Note 10+ 5G, N976B. I'm in the EU. How does this model do in terms of updates? How far are we behind the regular N975F!?). One UI 2.1 may be nice to have Thanks.

Yep - it's invariably later. Keep an eye on the main thread where we put release notifications.

Just received and installed the OTA. In terms of updates, I'd say the N976B on par with the N975F

Interesting, no May 2020 patch for GN 976B. Two weeks behind at least. Wondering if Samsung is neglecting 5G devices...

nope that's just the way it is, I run a rom for both 5F and 6B variants of the plus
5g is just 2 weeks later and that's all lol that's just the way its always been on this device

ASHE Firmware For SM-N976B Available

New OTA firmware update for the Note + 5G, brings a number of improvements plus September security patch.
Showing up on my handset as well - downloading now and will report back once installed!
(I'm relieved to see this update out just one day after the 4G update - this is *SO much better than OnePlus are doing with their 5G 7 Pro phone)

...can't say I've noticed anything significant...
Nice to see any updates however small, but this one tackles a few area's....., nice & early in the month to which is great to see :good:
This is good news, I was getting slightly anxious about the update frequency for this 5G model here in Europe, since not as ubiquitous here as compared to S.Korea, feared we'd become the neglected siblings.
Now looking forward to the Android 10 beta, and hoping we'll get an invite to the party. Not so much for Android 10 per se, more for One Ui 2.0, since I don't see much difference from One UI 1.0 and the 1.5 version that we have.

Whats up with the september patch being delayed for exynos models?

The september security patch is out for the Note 8, 9, 10 and 20 and also for S9, S10 and for alot of midrange phones like A21 and A50,51 and A70, A71 etc.. , All of these received it. And the S20 series (at least the exynos model) hasn't yet.
It makes no sense for them to release the september patch for all these devices but not for their latest S series phones which used to be the first in the line to receive these updates.
I think i heared that the SD model received it a week ago, but the exynos didnt yet, I wonder what's the reason behind this.
Could it be that the september patch will bring some improvements or something? Is it because of something related to OneUI 3 or the beta? i dont know, what do you think?
I was asking the same question today when I saw my kid's S9 receiving the September security patch but my S20+ still nothing....
What's going on Samsung????
I hope Samsung gives us aBIG BIG SURPRISE...
HOPE HOPE HOPE...
S20 G981W (snapdragon) no September sec update yet either, unlocked Canadian (Bell) device
i think is because they released the one ui 2.5 on august 29th - they need time to have this big update settle before they can push the September in case there are any bugs to fix

Automatic light dimmer

Hey folks
I bought my first M20X in November 2018.
It was crashed ½ year ago, so sad.
Then I bought a Samsung s21 ultra, had it 1 month, did not like Sammy any longer, hate the OS and the display size hmmm to small.
Then I got my xiaomi mi 11 ultra 1½month ago, I liked it better then the S21u BUT missed my good old M20X which still is a hardcore phone in my eyes.
I bought a new one 8gb 256gm Chinese version with a global rom on Aliexpress
It work absolutely 100% like my old global M20X Hong Kong version, no Chinese stuff at all.
It surprised me the M20X forum still is active here.. Awesome, not much, but still.
Big story yes, for a tiny question.
Every time I restart my M20X is set as automatic light dimmer grrrrr, don't want that.
I remember the same problem in 2018, but how to fix it, I don't remember and can't find anything about it...
Anyone in here know what to do ??
Rly no one in here have a solution?

Hey
Thx but I have the highest update you can get to this phone. And I'm happy for this, because it gives me all i need. I don't even use my xiaomi mi 11 ultra... I had it for around 3 weeks now, but this tiny display is hard to work with
And most amazing part I got 2 security updates the last 5-6 weeks, it surprised me a lot

Hey,
Kinda confused here. Do you have the chinese version? Because I noticed you have 11.0.0.155. But I'm on 11.0.0.142 on C636. How were you able to get 155 when i dont?
Hi
Yes i have a Chinese version 256gb 8gb EU rom version and I bought it on Aliexpress like this.
So it's really a upgrade vs my first M20X C636 Hong Kong version
Took 3 weeks to be delivered.
And as I told, I still get security updates for it
Take a look

Ok thats what i thought.
Today I tried the samsung note 20 ultra at a store. I have to admit it looks very good! It may be a bit smaller than the 20x but its still a big phone with an amazing sharp bright screen. I'm very tempted into selling my 20x and buying the note 20 ultra instead. Very tempted.
I understand you, tried the same with S21 ultra BUT, for me the display is much smaller and the battery time sucks big time vs M20X and that's enough for me to go back to my beloved M20X.
And I think the same will happen with Mi 11 ultra. When I compare speed etc, I don't feel any big difference at all. So M20X is still 95% up to date.
But wish you good luck then

One ui 5 for all note 10

Hi guys.
The Note 10 series is already in quarterly updates except for the lite model.
The reason for this thread is to make a joint request to Samsung to consider that the update to android 13 is not limited only to lite models.
A petition was created for it and all those interested in participating with their signature are welcome.
Thank you very much to all.

LOL, try smacking your head against the wall instead. This has been a constant thing since the dawn of Android.
Samsung WON'T upgrade the Note 10/Plus to Android 13 simply because it will bite into their sales....
They want you to get a shiny new toy, not play with that cruddy old thing you have now, and not supporting newer Android updates with all the nifty new features on your older phone is a way to make you upgrade...

Logically they want you to buy a new model. But why the lite with inferior hardware yes and not the superior ones of the same series?

It was released later.
Yes, it came out later but as one more of the note 10 series. That is the reason for the request. I understand Samsung's update policy but we are not talking about a single model, we are talking about the top-of-the-range family in its day. The stupid trend of releasing 20 models under the same name. Then these things happen and people get angry and rightly so.
Salu2
Lol, why care? Android 13 might be worse than 12 especially for the Note even if Samsung did do it
I'm still running on Pie on this N975U. Current load is over 2yo, still fast and very stable with minimal maintenance. Security is not an issue... what's not to like?
Upgrades and updates can and do break Samsung's. No plans to touch my firmware as long as it's fulfilling its mission.

I respect your opinion and the decision not to update. It is true that Samsung is not always right with its updates and personally I think that one ui 4.1 and android 12 ruins the phone, it does not run smoothly, it has excessive battery consumption among other failures. But, did you try one ui 5? I'm running the beta on my s21 ultra and I think it's one of the best updates I've tried in years. Without being a final version, the improvement is very remarkable. This is another reason to ask Samsung to update all Note 10 series models. Forget one ui 4.1 and its bad optimization.

I want to emphasize that the only thing that is required is a signature. As written in the petition, it is completely free and donations are not accepted.

Thank you. I've seen Samsung upgrades/updates break phones too many times. Any improvement that could be had by upgrading be marginal at best with my N10+'s and more likely would be detrimental.
I have two N10+'s, one running on 9, the other 10.
That's what they came loaded with. I think the Pie variant is the best of the two. Never used Android 11 or 12 because I have severe doubts about scoped storage. Don't want it.
Be interesting to see a side by side performance test between 9, 10, 11 and 12.
At this point both Samsung and Google Android are completely off the rails. No desirable new flagships from Samsung and Google is still chasing down endless rabbit holes making their OS less functional and the user a slave to cloud apps/storage. Sorry, but I see no point in even trying to reason with either company.
No Sale, they both can just f-f-fade away...
Is potentially possible to get a Custome ROM for SM-N975F like copy 1:1 from Note 20 Ultra Android 13 OUI5.0 .
Maybe creating new upgrade ROM for that phones .
there is a phone called samsung m62.it has the same chip like note 10 plus which is exynos 9825.i think android 13 port can be developed for note 10 plus.they did that with note 9 as it has the same chip as note 10 lite
Is possible to port stock original ROM A13OUI5.0 from Note 20 Ultra, which is almost the same phone without chip and some other parts but have now upgrading and is the same series Note`s .
M62 is Very old and not upgrading to A13.

Hi.
Did you read the petition and the messages? The note 10 lite is the only one that will receive one ui 5. The rest, 10, 10+, 10+ 5g will not be updated. The signatures are few and they increase very slowly and I don't know the date of the update for the lite models although I am sure that when people start to see the great improvement that android 13 and one ui 5 supposes the signatures will increase rapidly.

Hi.

A13 has just been released for m62 which has exynos 9825 like note 10 plus.it all depends now on developers
I have to signed the petition.
How about porting from Note 10 A13 to Note 10 Plus ?. It is possible that?.

Question Software update

Will my Samsung galaxy s21 FE (SM-G990B/DS) will receive one ui 5 update? Is it USA locked version?
Exynos version, don't know which region, it should be the region where you bought it from, check software update update is rolled out.

G990B/DS is Snapdragon processor, Dual sim, Europe/International version, not USA.
Samsung S21fe USA versions have the model code G990U.
To find out the which country's software version you have, go to settings> about phone> Software information> Service provider software version. There you can find a 3digit code on the 2nd line, that's the CSC (Country Specific Code) of your phone.
Since your model is G990B, only four country's are yet to have android 13 update till date: SEK (Ukrain), SER (Russia), SKZ (Kazakhstan) & CAU (Georgia). You must have one of these region's phone.

I haven't noticed any improvement but I have to say I haven't tested it so much.
I feel my phone more responsive, battery life is (very) slightly better, I think that's all.
To me, not THE century update, but since Android 7-8 we got a well rounded OS harder to significantly improve.

Thanks for the update. It is dissapointing to see they have not focussed on addressing issues and making the photograpy aspect a priorty for FE users...Let's hope we can get further camera updates that will improve this for us!
SM-G990B/DS, received Android 13 but patch date is 1/10/2022.
