When will the international S7 receive the July update over the air? And any news about what this new update contains? (aside from the google security patches), any improvements to software?
thanks
I have the UK version of the G930F and I just got the 1-July-2016 update OTA today (12th July).

Any improvements or anything new ?!
Well I only switched to the S7 from an iPhone6 a few days ago so I probably wouldnt notice anything new yet, but I doubt there is as it is really a security patch AFAIK. I had felt some 'stickiness' in Candy Crush earlier, which now seems better but maybe that was due to a phone reboot anyway? Either way, doesn't seem a huge end user change.

I am in the US on an unlocked S7 G930U.
Earlier this week I received notice of a Software Update.
I am always hesitant to install these updates until I know what they are and see what people are saying about their performance.
I havent seen anything about this here (am I missing it somewhere) although on GSMArena there is a scary sounding thread with people installing a recent update and having major battery issues.
Is there anyway to see what this update is before it gets installed? Any ideas? Thanks.
BTW - the update is ~452MB.

I'm kind of new here, but after reading up on the Samsung support forums apparently G930U will only be receiving quarterly security updates so this update is all of the regular updates the carrier versions have received since September rolled up into 1 large package. It's still 6.0.1, and so far, I haven't seen any adverse effects (although I'm not rooted, so no clue if it effects anything along the lines of the boot loader) Also, during my internet search on what this update was, I came across this site that lists out the firmware (and Android level) of every release for a Samsung product, which confirmed not the nougat update. - can't make a real link since I'm new to posting on XDA, so search Google for "live-samsung updates"
Hope that helps!

I updated my G930U and have had no issues. Took it off the charger this morning at 8am, it's now nearly 1pm and battery is at 97%. Obviously I haven't used it much but there's certainly no unusual standby battery issue so far.
Hey everyone I was just wondering if anyone who has the Nougat Beta, have you gotten the official update yet? and if so when is the soonest we could possibly be getting a zip file? I tried the VZW version and it was smooth for about the first week, then I noticed some random rebooting and battery life issues as to be expected since it was only a first beta version. Not rushing anything but I'm a little impatient as well as some of you are to get your hands on the Nougat goodness. The whole reason for me even flashing the TMO version is because I bought the Metro PCS version and usually their updates roll out a lot later than TMOs updates. Thanks all

Has anybody received by OTA, or installed by other means MHA-LGRP2-OVS270
It's March 2020 Security patch. I'm on MHA-L29c432 9.1.0.252(C432E7R1P8patch03), it tells me for 270 Approved but I never received any OTA over 252 (only patches)
Edit: Two months later upgraded by OTA to the newer 9.1.0.275(C432E7R1P8) with May 2020 Sec. patch
Few moments ago I got patch 5 ehich foes improve 3rd party apps compatability as described by the updater...
I attached the before and after. I wonder if this update will impact system performance as we know phone makers are sly and want us to keep changing phones [emoji19]

Same here.
Same here, on MHA-L29c432 9.1.0.252(C432E7R1P8patch03). Never got the 270 update so far.
I had my phone on HiSuite and all of a sudden I'm on 9.1.0.275(C432E7R1P8). Phone did not even reboot But must be the real deal because I have the smart battery capacity feature available that was rolled out with this update (also includes May 2020 security patches).
Finally, received also OTA 9.1.0.275(C432E7R1P8) with May 2020 Security patch, and everything so far ok
I've a MHA-L29 running 9.1.0.252 and I also didn't get .275 yet. I live in Portugal. Hopefully it will eventually come...
First time that a Pixel device (as far as I remember) ended monthly updates on exactly the expiration date. I totally forgot that October 31 was the last day until I saw that newer devices received updates today while the 3 and 3xl had not.
Yep. We should get one massive "quality" update next month, and then that's it. Since we now have 12 I'll probably keep the 3XL until the 7 comes out to keep the OS updates going since my phone is pretty much flawless, and I just got a new battery for it about 4 months ago.
The Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL will get one final software update next year
The final Google Pixel 3 update will likely only bring some minor bug fixes for the three-year-old smartphone when it finally drops.

Update released today. https://www.droid-life.com/2022/02/07/pixel-3-gets-what-should-be-its-final-update/
Updated my 3XL this morning via OTA sideload. No issues with the update or functionally after update. One issue that is mentioned in this article https://www.androidpolice.com/googl...Taro on,still displays October after updating is occurring on mine (probably everyone) where it still shows the October security update.

Same for me showing Oct security update
Same here.
The two things that we can praise its the improvements in smoothness and it feels mutch faster than before.
With only 12Mb, I have no idea what they fixed beside that.

I have a Pixel 7 Pro purchased through T-Mobile. 100% stock, no modifications. Google Play System update is Nov. 1. I am still on the November security patch. Attempting the system update results in ""Your system is up to date" Is this a google problem, TMobile slow update or a phone problem?
T-Mobile I'd imagine. Just use Pixel Flasher or https://flash.android.com
I joined the beta program

How is it? Stable enough to daily drive? I was stuck on the Nov. 22 patch as well until I sideloaded via ADB last night.
Nov 1 is the latest Play System Update afaik, at least thats what the QPR shows....
Google is having problems
This is one of those moments where it's not you it's them is actually true and not gaslighting . Play Updates are not rolling out properly

Seems you are not alone.
T-Mobile is running way behind on Google Pixel security updates
Timely updates are supposed to be a prime Pixel perk

Yeah I am on December update very annoyed with Google nothing has changed

That sucks and should not be the Pixel experience. I would call T-Mobile and ask them why you are on an old update?
I have had decent updates so far but would be rather upset if I had a security update that was older than other OEM as that is part of the reason for getting a Pixel.
Sign up for Beta and you'll get QPR2 Beta 2. In my experience, it is much more fluid and responsive than previous builds. It fixes the scrolling issues and seems to have improved battery compared to the December update.
My wife's P7 still is on Dec update and says it's up to date. I manually flash and root mine, but not about to go to that work for her phone.

Can't you just adb sideload update.zip without having to even unlock the bootloader?

developers.google.com
Google provides the means to update it yourself manually easily if you're not willing to wait for your turn. Their tools aren't even that complicated to use. I don't understand the big deal when you have manufacturers like Samsung that can take 3-6 months or longer to update between major version releases, Motorola that updates whenever they feel like it and only gives 2 years of major version updates, and OnePlus that's always behind like 2 months in security updates.

I could, but it's my wife's phone so I don't want to mess with it. I'd have to pry it out of her hands first.

If she's complaining about it, 10 minutes in your hands beats you hearing about it for however long it takes for the update server to decide it's her turn.
Also mine show November as last play service update (I'm on the beta). Italian unlocked phone
Nov is the latest still for play system. There wasn't a Dec and Jan hasn't rolled out yet

There's also the indeterminate minutes, if/when something goes sideways...
This is being delayed for un-branded devices as well, such as mine purchased G-Store direct, based on some sort of carrier-block. I'm tempted to go dig through some dev-docs, to see if I can find this (could be an section not published for most, I suppose), but I figure to what end, mostly.
As you mention, easy side-load, but without knowing why this is being blocked for non-TMo (branded, so not gated by their release of their OTA) devices, it's a gamble of sorts...
I just posted in another thread that I think this is an odd situation. I use an MVNO Boost Mobile that uses T-Mobile and I got the update on the 5th. Maybe I got it before they pulled it? Why would they hold the update back to T-Mobile customers but not the MVNO?
