USCC doesn't have firmware over the air updates.

Not true. LG Apex from USCC uses OTA (over the air) for firmware updates. Although you are correct about the Samsung Galaxy S models, they do not support OTAs because Samsung decided to force users to use their in-house software, Samsung Kies.

If the Apex works with FOTA, it's not because of USCC. USCC does not have FOTA yet...
It could be that LG has a firmware server. I believe BlackBerry can do this too but I know that it's not from USCC.

The LG Updater app shows V11F for Videophone and V11H for WindMobile up there. Probably set up for the respective carriers up there - don't know if they use the same bands.
Plugged phone it into my computer with the LG updater set to Canada. It checked the software, and indicated that I have the latest (v10f), so no update available. Wanted to see if it would offer to download 11F ( I would not have done it though).
Yeah you might be right.
Could be specific to their carriers. I was wondering if it was possible to change the carriers specific changes to match the united states firmware but still be able to have the updated firmware if any thing really changed.

Question regarding switching carriers.

Just moved from at&t to t-mobile.
Is it possible to receive software updates from my carrier(t-mobile)
If I'm using a phone from a different carrier(at&t)
My device is SM-G900A and it's on the latest software update, lolipop 5.0 from at&t.
Am I gonna be able to receive latest T-mobile S5's(G900T) software update? and hopefully be on 5.1, which isn't available in At&t .

Update to Oreo from Nougat - S7 T-Mobile?

since tmobile and samsung are taking their sweet time to update the software, i was curious if there's a way to update 930T version phone myself? i see there's rom available to flash via odin for 930F, but is there a way to do it on the T-Mobile version 930T? thanks!
Nope. These are 2 different versions.

OTA updates outside of intended region?

Hello good people of the XDA forums,
I live in Canada and recently ordered a Galaxy A51 off of Amazon, only to find out it is apparently the Latin American version of the SM-A515F variant. Using my Canadian sim card, will I be able to get get OTA updates on this phone from Samsung or not? If it comes to it at the end of the day, I suppose I could live with manually updating with Odin (how that works I have yet to find out), but I'd definitely not prefer it. As of this moment I'm still stuck with the December 1st security patch and version A515FXXU1ASL1. I got this phone just this Friday and didn't even receive an update as I was setting it up, which certainly worried me.
Also, and on a related note, because this is the Latin American version, NFC is disabled. Is that something that could be changed as well/be fixed in the future?
Thank you so much for your help y'all

I am also canadian who purchased international version on purpose(easy to root international)as soon as i put in my sim i recieved an OTA notice.
Mine happens to be panama latin america. I recieved u2ata8 update. Whatever you do,DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING BUT INTERNATIONAL FIRMWARE VIA ODIN. IF YOU FLASH CANADA FIRMWARE ON INTERNATIONAL VARIATIONS THEN YOU WILL HARD BRICK. Also you will get odin fail if you have U2 in your firmware. Cannot roll back to U1

If I'm not getting prompted for similar updates does that mean I'm probably not going to be getting OTA updates? I believe my phone is the Panama version as well.

I definitely haven't gotten any updates. Is there any reasonable reason why I'm not getting updates but you are? I'm with Public Mobile, if that makes a difference. Would it have something to do with my sim card? The country code on my phone is TPA, which from what I've seen is the Latin America/Panama model.

No idea. All i know is whenever there is a panama ota update I get it
I also ordered an A51 off of Amazon. I have the Latin American model and got an update to the February security patch not too long ago. It should work fine for you!

Do you have a link that explains what you're saying in detail? I'm trying to learn the details of this. I have a Latin American phone (DS) that I'd like to root.

2x ATT Samsung Galaxy S10E SM-G970U on ATT's network, no software/firmware updates.

I have 2x ATT Samsung Galaxy S10E SM-G970U on ATT's network and they never receive the latest firmware/software updates from this page:
Software update for the Samsung Galaxy S10e / S10 / S10+ / S10 5G (G970U/G973U/G975U/G977U)
I need the latest G970USQU4ETH7 (GS10e) firmware or G970USQS4DTG1 (GS10e) firmware.
Is it just this software update from ATT is just for big OS releases like when Android 10 moves to Android 11? My phone is on the G970USQS3DTDB (GS10e) stock firmware from May 22, 2020. Please assist if you guys can get it for me?
You can not get the att firmware.
I suggest you download the SM-G970U1 firmware and install it. The only difference is it wond come with all of the bloatware that is on the att rom.
I use this on my personal SM-G970U so I can assure you it is safe as long as you know how to flash the firmware.
Here is a link that will help explain it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10e/how-to/g970u-g970u1-firmware-links-t3904628
I already gave you the help you need in your post here...
