[Q] How is the firmware numbered? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know how the firmware numbering works? I would assume G920FXXU1AOE4 is newer than G920FXXU1AOE3 but what about those firmwares that have two letters are the end?
Is G920FXXU1AODG newer than G920FXXU1AOD4 or vice versa?

In software, letters typically come after numbers. 123456789ABCD... So I would think DG is a newer build than D4.

as far as I know the last two characters encode the build date
e.g. A1 stands for 1st of January, B2 stands for 2nd of February, C3 stands for 3rd of March etc.

So what would DG stand for? (This is a real build)
Edit: Actually, thinking about this, it doesn't make sense. I am on E4 and that had a build date of May 7th. The letter part might be right, but the number part is off.

DG would be April 16th in that case.
EDIT: So under that system the earliest case will be A1 for Jan 1st and the latest case being LV for Dec 31st.

Release Date?

Anyone know when it is due to make its debut?
Friday 14th december in the uk www.expansys.com
I sure hope the date is not pushed back.
HTC Touch Cruise in UK
does anyone know if this phone will be available on contract on any UK operator? which ones?
December 16th in the USA
Looks like the concensus date is the 16th of December in the USA. If I get an earlier (verified) date, I will repost.
I preordered mine from MMB on hofo, estimated ship date is Dec 17th. Cant wait woohoo!
If I buy it in the US, will I have warranty in Europe- Germany?
Devicewire are saying that they are getting theirs direct from HTC and expect launch to be mid-late Dec with actual shipping to customers being early Jan
I would not like to put off anyone waiting eagerly for the HTC Cruise. In fact I belong to the same club.
My only worry is that the HTC Cruise comes with the same Qualcomm processor same as the TyTn II. Now we already have a thread "Petition Open for HTC...." which primarily describes problems due to incompatible / non-existent drivers. Apparently HTC has yet not resolved this issue but are still releasing a next device based on the same processor and therefore presumably the same issues.
My question is that under the circumstances do you think it would be wise to buy now or wait for HTC to resolve the issues.
Regards
Well, you would expect them to make a better driver eventually. But who knows :/
It's hard to tell. Maybe it's better to wait and see how the first impressions are with the device. I'm not a very patient person when it comes to this, so I already pre-ordered mine lol
i'd say go ahead and get it, its a pretty solid device
I'm going away on the 11th and I doubt it of I could get it before then in the UK.
Don't know about that Italian site showing 4th Dec and whether I should bother with an Italian Rom.
I wonder of these will have the same lack of drivers to activate the graphic hardware acceleration, like in the kaisers...
I hope not, because this is a major issue!

This is my only concern with the device. Other than this issue (if it even has this issue) the cruise is perfect for me.

Same here. This would be my first WM device and I have been reading the forums to be prepared for what is installed.
I hope raskell is able to shed some light regarding video playback etc.

I really want to get this but at the moment it is way to pricey. Hopefully the price will come down after the pre-release is over and it has been out.
Enough.

Ok, that settles it. I have been waiting far too long for my first PPC: first e-ten x800 which apparently turned out to be much of a disappointment, now polaris that just would not make it under my xmas tree. I am getting Kaiser instead. It is bulkier, but at least it is available. And my provider sells it with nice perks such as car charger/holder and maps.
I hope you guys don't have to wait much longer for your toy and I wish you enjoy it.
i,m afraid for more delay
until now nobody knows tha exact release date
Portugal -> 12th or 13th December

What is your build number on Pixel 2

Hi guys, my pixel 2 got an OTA this morning. Could not find anything new though. Security patch level still says September 5, 2017.
After installment, my build number is OPD1.170816.012
But I did not pay attention before the update, could anyone share your build number just to make comparison possible?
Thanks.
CPD3.170816.012 Pixel 2 (not XL) 64GB Verizon.
OPD1.170816.010. Pixel 2.
I didn't think there was a 32gb P2, just 64 and 128. That's all I see in https://store.google.com/config/pixel_2 and https://www.verizonwireless.com/vzw/browse/devicesetup/displayDeviceSetup.jsp

5th Sep patch level.
I have the Sept. update as well. At this point, Google is probably waiting to send out the Nov. update. It doesn't make much sense, when most of the phones are still shipping to people, to start the update at the end of the month.

Man, I don't know. Security seems more important than the inconvenience of sending out 2 security patches within 2 weeks or so. On the other hand, I'm not even sure what the October patches includes. Maybe it isn't THAT important.

What is actual Security Patch Level 617 and 401?

Hi,
I consider to change my wife's CID from original 111 TMO to at least 401 or may 617 (contains 617 ROM for the A9 German as language? On my old M9 it does not). Reason is that it stucks in 7.0 security patch Level December 2016 -unbelievable!
There are so much Patches missing, Bluetooth, WPA2...
So what are the latest Patchlevel for 401 and 617, please?
Best regards
I have tried some things by myself.
Changed MID & CID for .617 BS_US001, but have NOT German Language (wife punished in my face ) and habe Patchlevel 08/2017
So I have flashed .401 HTC__001 after changing MID back and CID to HTC__001, I have Patchlevel 2/2017
Not really better, Bluetooth and WPA2 krack not solved! And THIS is a HTC One?
Why to buy a premium Mobile if it does not getting updates? So I can buy a mobile in China for some Bucks which is also not updated.... :-/
I go for Lineage OS for that reason (security patch). And phone work better ! (i simply re-install HTC camera)
For software numer 2.18.617.41, the Android Security Patch Level is August 1, 2017 which seems to be latest as of today; version is still Android 7.0.
2.18.617.56 was released a few days ago with November Security Patch

https://www.engadget.com/2016/08/25/htc-one-a9-android-update-promise/
When HTC launched the One A9, it promised to roll out new versions of Android "within 15 days" of their release. Pretty sweet, right? Well, it would be -- but that's not happening with Android 7.0. In a tweet, HTC said the new software will be hitting the HTC 10 in the fourth quarter of 2016, followed by the unlocked One M9, the unlocked One A9 and their carrier counterparts. The timeline suggests that the company will be breaking its promise with the One A9 -- Google released Nougat on August 22nd, meaning the phone would need to receive it by September 6th.
We reached out to HTC, and a spokesperson told us: "With the excitement around Android Nougat, we're aligning engineering resources around our most popular flagship products where the most customers will benefit." It's a shame, because the One A9 is a decent little phone. Admittedly, it's not a top-tier powerhouse like the HTC 10, but it's still capable.

That was when they broke their promise with quick updates. So basically HTC did not sell enough A9 phones and now they don't even bother.
Just the Flagships get some update attention from them. Situation is even worse now since Google bought all capable developers out of HTC.
Very sad about this -the A9 is a very good phone, but gets unlikely with such a bad support. And it was not the first time HTC dissapointed customer. And wondering later why so much people buy from other companys. I really like the phones, ideas and inventions -but if they are "old" after a couple of weeks.....
A man - a word! Why not a company - a word!? Get reliable again, please!

Release date of Oneplus 6

Hello,
Last time we have new leaks about release date.
We have poster that suggested 5 may in China .
Some people think that can be with Avengers premiere on 27 April.
In last week we had leak about 18 May.
What we know for sure that 22nd April at 00:00 start ''Notify me'' on Amazon India.
And 2nd May start '' Lab'' program.
When do you expect premiere?
I doubt about 18 May. In my opinion it's too long for Oneplus to keep this Hype in media one month longer so I except it sonner. On the beginning of May.
We had premiere Honor 10 and Huawei P20 Pro. LG preparing G7. I think these are strong competitors for oneplus 6.
So they don't should wait so long with release.
P. S. I expect that Oneplus 6 will be phone of the year. High top hardware with very good optimized Android and things that was lack in 5t: water resistance, wireless charging, better camera.
To perfection I need only OIS but I doubt in it. Maybe in 6t.
Interesting thing is price. But Honor 10 is strong competitor with very good hardware and great price.
6 May imo
May 18th?

Heh.
I'm November!
Me too November.
There is no update so far. They told on Twitter, at least one guy from HTC, that they like to bundle updates to a bigger maintenance update. It was a response to the claim that the HTC U11 would be abandon ware, but so far I never heard again of any announcement of an update.
HTC U Ultra - 1 February 2018
HTC U11 - 1 November 2017
Where is the problem, other brands have a security update on 1 June 2018 ?

1st November 2017.
I have a dream of atleast one update before 1st November 2018.

Let me complete that list:
Htc10 - April 2018
Since HTC moved(sold) almost all devs to Google what do you expect? I've sold my U11 and will never go back to them. It's a shame as HTC used to be the most fluid and stable Android experience. Well, not anymore.
The HTC U11 has Android 8.0.0, just lacking security updates, so I do not see why the HTC U11 sells, it does not have a logic. The HTC U11 is still a very good phone.

Sucks but I just do not see the value in personally dumping more money into a company that may not be in the NA market come say 2020 or even 2019. Even with the cash infusion from Google the company's financial health is poor and it does not help that reviewers for the HTC U12+ have given the phone lukewarm reviews.

I agree. HTC make very good phones in my opinion. It is not just about that is it though? We've all see the stories about getting screen replacements (costs, time involved) and if they are not making any effort to keep their phones updated with the latest security updates then people are just going to buy something else.
As much as I like my U11 I do not think I'll be buying another HTC phone because the after-sales service is literally non-existant, and if I ever do have a problem with my phone I do not want to be jumping through hoops to get it resolved.

I sent my phone for repair in January for Bluetooth issues, they blamed me for cracked screen and glass back. I refused to pay and 6 months later they offered me a brand new one. I don't want to go through that again.
Personally I had this sort of issue before with HTC and I bought the U11 which proves HTC still fail at delivering timely updates to their phones.
Mine is on 1, December, 2017
I have 1.November 2017. Support promises 2 months security update and 8 months without update. It is bad. Unfortunately, I love HTC phones. [emoji106][emoji25]
Odesláno z mého HTC U11 Ice White
I had high hopes for the U11 and the updates were so slow.. so I have sold in october 2017... sorry HTC, you lost me.
phone was great though....
I have written to support that if it's not a month's new security update, I'm leaving HTC.
Updated to 2.42 today and Android P should be coming out sometimes this month for U11 users.
CXTKRS1: Will today update HTC U11 version 2.42 for Europe ? Or did I misunderstand and if so, how do you know ?
