Ditto here. I got it this morning. Don't know what it does though.
I got it when I got home from work. It was urgent and installed super quickly.

Hi,
I had the same thing yesterday: I received this "Urgent Security Update" via a notification that had the icon of the Samsung Apps application. Unfortunately, I dismissed the notification and I didn't do this update. But since that, I am not able to get this notification again in order to be able to do this update... I tried to launch Samsung Apps, I also tried in the settings of the S6 to search for either new ROM version or security policy updates, but no update though that.
So I wonder how we can get back the notification of this security update?
I got it also. It's the option for paid themes in the Samsung store!
Nah curious I had that option before this update
Related
Has anybody else gotten a notification for a new update? If so, any idea what it's for?
Looks like more app updates and some "security updates"
After yesterday update still got new updates

Same. No place to turn off updates. It asks you, you say no. Then at some point it just does it anyway. I would be irked if that happened in the middle of work and suddenly you're watching an optimizing apps countdown.
I checked yesterday, said i was up to date on 10e, which this is now 10g. So now i have to wait the 24hrs until i can 'check again'. Stupid rules..

Sometimes you can go under settings go to ALL Apps and find the correct app that updates and u can clear the cache and it clears the timer. Just not sure which app it is.
I said no, turned off wifi and came back to my phone saying the update was complete... thanks LG/ATT/Google for allowing this
Do you have to be on USA to get the update? I have the H810, I'm not on USA and I haven't gotten any update *yet*.
DON'T OTA
going to post this once... please spread the word into the other G4 subforums and any related posts anywhere.
I'm not sure if this is cause for alarm... but just putting the warning out there... based on viewing the latest USCC and T-Mobile files... these recent OTAs for USA carriers seem to be implementing "antirollback" which means you can never "go back" to a lesser version. To simplify things... fresh out of the box all of your phones were at "0" and now after the OTA they're at "1". Both the TMO and USCC KDZ file's are based on the OTA which is a "1" so there's no concern of flashing an older KDZ by mistake... at least for now. Not sure what will happen with future updates.
Can only confirm this on the TMO H811 and USCC US991... Still waiting on Sprint users to grab the OTA URL or zip name for me so I can inspect that... but I suspect all of the recent OTAs from AT&T, Sprint and Verizon also used the "1" update. The European/Asian/Etc variants still seem to be using the "0" version.. even after the recent updates. [Not every OTA will bump up the "version"]
I can't say what this means as a whole just yet... Maybe nothing at all. But perhaps for those who wish to stay at that fresh "0" for now... try your best to avoid the OTA update. I know the intl phones can disable updates but this option has been removed in USA variants. There are talks of an app that allows you to disable apks on your phone... I haven't used it myself but perhaps for those who want to maybe block the OTA app (LGDMSClient.apk)... worth checking out. This is said app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...bloat-t2998294
apks to attempt to disable:
/system/priv-app/LGDMSClient/LGDMSClient.apk (not in all phones)
/system/priv-apps/LGUpdateCenter/LGUpdateCenter.apk

Nothing has worked, not waiting day after day and checking, not rolling back the date/time. Nada, still says i'm up to date.
Meanwhile my wife's phone, and co workers phones all getting the update to 10G.
Whatever, guess i'm not cool enough. :cyclops:
UPDATE: Even did factory reset, still no 10g for me.

This is starting to be the new norm. Samsung's for example. I've given up on any boot loader unlocks on any device or carrier going forward.
This morning I got a notification for the update but before I could switch to WiFi and start the download the notification went away. Now when I try to go to manually check for the OTA it says "Your software is up to date you must now wait A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF HOURS and 3 minutes before you can check again because you are a update seeking android-update-crackhead who pushed the button to many times.(7996 hours I believe"
I have tried the setting the clock ahead trick but it hasnt worked for some time. I have tried clearing several different app-data/cache files in settings, searched XDA & Google, and tried multiple reboots/restarts without being able to get the OTA notification again. I have tried looking for the update on LG Bridge as well. If anyone here has any suggestions of what I might try I would be truly grateful for them. I don't want to root the device and I have already slapped myself for being a over active update checker. THANKS!!
The official version of the Samsung Pay app for Verizon phones is in the Google Play store now, but it's not working properly. Everyone who has installed it gets a message, "Update failed. Failed to download the latest version. Try again later." It also generates a notice, "PaymentFramework_VZW installation failed."
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.spay
FWIW, someone on Android Central contacted Samsung. They confirmed it is the legit version, but they say it isn't going live until October 20.
Downloaded fine for me and installed security policy update, but stays on screen showing that security policy update is required. I did see in the Play Store that it isn't going live until 10/20 though, so we'll see.
I am on an OE2 rooted device with the SU Binary removed and SU App hidden by Hide My Root. FWIW, Android Pay is installed and working.

.......so then why the f*(% would they release it on the play store and not actually activate it until the 20th? That's just stupid.

The whole thing is strange. Verizon's CSRs have been saying that it "should" work now -- and it apparently does work on some Note 5's -- but Samsung says it won't be activated until the 20th, when Verizon releases a second system update at noon.
Not showing up in the store now, maybe they took it down.

I have been checking for the past 2 days and the link still does not work for me. Hopefully tomorrow it will work for all. I have a Galaxy S6 and I did get the update from Verizon to my device.
For those that have the app appearing in the play store can you please post your version of the Samsung Pay Framework and the Software build on your devices? I am looking to see if there is any patterns.
Ok, people, let's think logically here, shall we?
1.) People complained because it was on the playstore but not working. It was pulled and now people complain because they can't find it on the playstore. Come on people...really? I think people just want something to complain about.
2.) This is one I fell into because I had a laps in judgement. The fact that we had to find a link to find it in the playstore should be an indication that it wasn't ready to be downloaded yet. Clearly, Samsung wanted to go ahead and have it loaded up there, but keep it hidden until it was time to release it publicly.
I for one am glad they decided to pull it. It was getting negative reviews before even going live because people (myself included, I admit) did not think.
Check the app store again. Samsung updated it about two hours ago, and the new app is loading perfectly. I was able to install it, app three cards (2 Citibank and Amex), and run to the store to try it out. (Worked well.)
Note that all this happened without a second Verizon OTA update.
Weird....I was on here and clicked on the link and it took me to the Samsung pay app and I tried downloading it and it kept saying I needed to sign into my Google account. Which I am. So I finally booted to recovery and cleared my cache and now when I try and click on the link, it says not found.

It just pulled up for me (kept refreshing the link and it just now showed up). Got it installed. Now time to test it out!
Finally worked for me! Can't wait to test it out!
It finally showed up for me. It downloaded and installed. When I open Samsung pay I get a message that says a software update is required. When I click the update button, Samsung pay closes and I get a pop up that says unfortunately Samsung pay had stopped. I am on OC3.

You need to be on OG9 for Samsung Pay to work.
Installed Samsung Pay from the Play Store but had problems validating my American Express credit card. When I tried to activate, I got a message that a validation code had been sent to my email and I needed to enter that code into the Samsung Pay app to get validated. However, it took so long for the code email to arrive that I think the app timed out and gave me a message that the code was invalid. This repeated 5 or 6 times and eventually I was told to validate by calling American Express. This worked.
How do I get the most recent update? My Gear Manager shows I'm up to date but I haven't updated in a while.
Not sure I have the same issue
I am having the same issue. What version of Gear Plugin and Samsung Gear app are you using. I am using 2.2.16070451 for the Samsung Gear app. And 2.2.03.16071152 for the Gear Plugin.
That's the same version I have this is weird
---------- Post added at 01:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 AM ----------
I am seeing so many articles talking about the update and download and I don't even have the update keeps saying I currently up to date
Has anyone for this update yet?
I have the same problem. My Gear s2 is the "regular" version (not a carrier version and not the classic). Also using 2.2.16070451 Gear app. & 2.2.03.16071152 Gear Plugin.
I'm not for sure that anyone has this update

The only update I got was the watch app update. Not the actual watch update though. Maybe that's the problem? Maybe it see's the app updated and thinks the watch is updated as well?
It's crazy because I haven't seen a video on YouTube about the update I got the Samsung pay update which updated the gear app but have not received an update for the watch itself
Called Samsung and they said I should definitely have had the update from the 15th and did verify that my phone still has the old firmware. They could not help me over the phone and told me to take it to a Samsung shop at Best Buy. I will do that today and see what happens.

Haha, that's not gonna result in anything. Just have to be patient, like any update, they roll them out in stages over time.

Yep went to the Samsung shop and they are complete and utter morons. Totally incompetent. All they did was make it so I had to reinstall all my watch-faces and the phone app now gives me an error when I try to re-order apps and crashes. She couldn't even understand what I was talking about regarding a firmware update for the watch. No matter what way I tried to explain it over and over. Such a difference between Apple support and Samsung so called "support". What a joke. Now I am worse off from when I started. No update and and the app now crashes. Great, Looks like I'll be trading this in for a Android Wear watch when the new ones come out.
Finally got the update! Samsung support still sucks though. Hope this fixes the broken app issue that they broke.
Got mine today
Got my official update last week and it bricked my watch. Now in boot loop and under recovery menu factory reset is missing, only download, which as far as i can tell is totally useless and shut down. So have to take it to the 4th Samsung shop, the ones i have been at are of no help.
So nice, thank you for the OFFICIAL wonderful update, be careful, it could turn your watch into a bracelet.
Yeah I now have no faith in their support. The app is still broken and Samsung doesn't seem to give a damn let alone be able to fix it. I hope my S7 Edge has no problems until I pay it off. If a company cannot provide support or is unwilling to do so, there is no reason to purchase their products, plain and simple. Not getting the Gear S3 when it comes out which I was going to do, not getting the Tab S3 when that comes out which I was also going to do. I'll go with an Android Wear 2.0 watch when they start hitting stores and keeping my Ipad Air 2.
Hello, not sure if this is old news but just noticed that after an update, my Gear S3 started receiving YouTube notifications. My life is complete now haha :laugh:

I just got the update last night. I'm on T-Mobile. Any other new additions included in this update?
I was really hoping to get rid of the required PIN for Samsung Pay. Annoying to have to constantly enter it if I'm not wearing my watch super tightly all the time. Might just abandon Samsung Pay on my watch and just use it on my phone from now on...

The new update allows you to set the pin for payment only. I think the settings menu changed a little bit, not noticing other major changes.

The update from T-Mobile states that VoLTE was added, a patch for the BlueBorne security issue was added and "Samsung Value Pack 1" was added. I have tried, with no luck finding out what this Value Pack 1 contains. I assume it is different than the Value Pack from April.
That being said, I notice no differences in UI, Settings UI or widgets.
New update just hit my phone its 345MB it has a few fixes and the may security patch
I also notice it dudnt change my APN (dun) settings back. Its still there.

Can someone confirm for me that Google Pay works on 2ARE6? I don't want to flash to my ATT which will wipe my phone to find out it is still not passing Safety Net.
Could someone on the ARE6 OTA download AIDA64, go to the "Display" tab and check the date under "GPU Version"?
Is there an update for tmobile?
Actually that build been out for weeks on AT&T Server as well so nothing really new with 2ARE6 . 2ARE2 is way better build and has newer stuff on it compared to 2ARE6 has old stuff which is weird.

I read in one of the threads that they have some method of pulling the hidden OTA updates from the update server. The crazy thing is there's new builds every few days. It seems crazy to have to wait months for a new update, and when it comes its still a month behind on security patches.
If you watch the t-mobile and ATT threads specifically, you'll see the Ota updates. Be warned, most don't pass safety net (ARC6 was the last one before ARE6 to pass), so if you need Google Pay or anything else that relies on safety net, your screwed. The other warning is that these OTA files factory reset your device.

How do you know which ones pass the safety net? Also ARF2 passes the safety net. Also why was ARF2 so big? I have it on my phone but nothing new has appeared...

You don't know until someone tries to use something like say Google Pay. For an update to pass SafetyNet, Samsung has to submit it to Google, and then Google has to Certify it. No idea why it's so big. The problem with these unofficial OTA updates is that your not really sure *what* is in them, with the exception of a possible new security patch level.
Have you actually gotten Google Pay to run on ARF2?
