When was your latest update? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm currently on US Cellular, my last update was the day after I received the phone on the 10th. When was your last firmware update?

AFAIK, the last update has a build date of March 28th (at least for the 920F) and everyone who got their phone received this one pretty much straight away.

Two days ago

Yes u were right! some us devices are on april update!!!
Im on PB6 too. Samsung should release the next update with april security patch within the next few weeks
Does the location and language settings used for initial setup has anything to do with the delay of the updates? Just curious to know, where do guys get the International version in USA?

global version (930F) is available at swappa dot com, Best Buy, and B&H Photo/Video
Been on APB6 too on my G930F for a while. It's an international version I got from eBay, using it on prepaid. Initial language setup was set as united kingdom but I changed it to united States. I'm a bit jealous hearing other European origin variants got updates

G930FD here. Duos version. Didn't expect the updates to be so quick. Already on April patch. While my Duos G4 isn't getting quick updates as promised by LG. LG only gives priority in updates only for the International(Single SIM) version. But Sammy's case is quite unexpected.
Ditto here, but still on PB4 / Feb patch. (G930F)
I've only had it a few days, but this is the only reason I got this one over the carrier variant. Meanwhile T-Mobile and Verizon have already released updates with the April patch.
Lovely! ....

Mind if I ask where you are located, roughly? Still on the Feb PB4 patch here with no signs of an update no matter what I do...

Have NOT got the June update yet? HELP!

I flashed an unbranded UK April S7 firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/, and since haven't received the june update that released about a month ago, any help?
Also is it normal to have apps like samsung pay in the uk firmware?
Have you installed also the csc file? I had that problem of not receiving OTA and it was because i did not put the four files in ODIN.
ps: i used the CSC and not the home_csc version
ps 2: I flashed the Australian version

Hmm seems unusual, I suggest you go to the Sony Mobile forums and ask there. :silly:

What happened the October update for unlocked devices?

Nothing in the UK for unlocked S7/S7E, I believe the US/Canada/Australia the same. Now the carriers have pushed it out just not Samsung themselves for unlocked devices.

Nothing in the UK,
In fact looking at Sammobile they only release every other month if your lucky for unlocked BTU, while Vodafone UK has firmware out every month.

A lot less regularly than I was expecting, got mine in July and 2 updates since then, thought it would be a delay of about a month with network provider updates but they've came to a standstill. The security patch level is 1st August.

Yes not very impressive from Samsung.
Yeah, I'm on BTU too and they don't update it often.
It should be monthly like the way Vodafone are doing it.

Exactly, Thats one of the reason people buy a carrier free phone. Folks on android always blame the carriers for the delays in updates but who exactly do you blame here?

Nothing here yet for the US unlocked version. Still on the Sept. security updates. I've just come to expect the updates to come 2-3mo behind.

Nougat

When will we see a Nougat update for the Unlocked (SM-G930u) model?
Unfortunately with the quarterly update schedule of the g930u, I think it will be a good couple weeks, if not a month or two before we even see the nougat update. Samsung seems like they dropped the ball in supporting our unlocked US version.
Where can I find the info you based that off of?
thread from samsung forums about the g930u and its update cycle:
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...930U-G935U-Security-Updates/td-p/47620/page/5
hope it helps!

mate 9 c636 update question

Sorry if this has been answered before
I have a c636 for a little more than a week now.
I am not in Malaysia though... Actually in Trinidad and Tobago
Would I get notifications to update via system update here?
Reading the posts here I see some say i would need a Malaysia sim card... But others don't.
Right now I'm on b158 (phone came with this installed)
Any clarification here would be much appreciated
I've always used a T-Mobile sim in the United States and I've gotten updates without C636 region sim.

B172 just published on Mar 16 but OTA rollout depends on which country SIM. Only Huawei knows
My past experience if you're on Malaysia or Taiwan SIM you may get OTA update notification within 1-3 weeks.
I'm in Singapore but I used my Malaysia prepaid SIM to get OTA updates coz the Singapore SIM usually almost the longest before getting OTA updates

Would it have worked for you with your default Singapore sim if you just waited?
The rest of us with the c636 in the West were a bit in the dark with that to do.... Especially with this strange funky update method
Thanks again
Yes but for whatever reasons Singapore SIM update is always much longer than Malaysian SIM. That's why I usually use my Malaysian SIM to check and download OTA update
B158 is the latest official update
B172 is latest official since Mar 16.
Just a matter of which country SIM that Huawei choose to schedule the OTA
I don't really mind waiting a couple of weeks for an update. So long as it's not addressing some critical security flaw anyway. I just hope they keep bringing them on a regular basis and don't just abandon the phone once they release a new model.

I haven't but when b158 came out I was not near one of the first to get it after the release was announced on here. So I'm just waiting until it finishes roll out.

If I remember correctly I got it like a week or so after I saw a post on here for B158. So hopefully a similar delay again not sure when B172 came out though might have already been a week.
B172 out on Mar 16.

No luck with FF
Still nothing from phone
Hisuite says b158 is the latest
Is it possible that b172 was a soak test? or was pulled?
