Thinking of picking one up, but, how often does Samsung update the os? Does it get regular security updates like the flagship phones? Saw a a user recently reported they got a blueborne security update along with a value pack 3 update from a us carrier, did anyone else get this update or blueborne patch yet in Australia?
Thanks
Edit, just found out, as of Oct 20, latest availble security uodate for Australia is R760XXXU2AQC
Anyone know what security fixes this has?
So where are the monthly security patches? I'm on the current software and is still August first security patch. Aren't we supposed to get a monthly patch from Samsung? Didn't they advertise that for all future phones after the S7?
I owned an S8+ and it got monthly updates for 3 or 4 months, now those have stopped too.
Anyone know what the deal is? Not even sure it's an AT&T issue. Looks like no Samsung phones are beyond Android 7.1.1 August 1st security patch.
Only applies to unlocked devices.
Carrier devices are managed differently.
When I turned on my Galaxy S10e without the SIM to set it up, it received the August 1st security update. One of our other S10e on Tmobile (but in use without a SIM) already received the One UI 2.5 update back when it was released at the beginning of Oct. Somehow, this phone has not received it yet. How do I know my phone is configured correctly to receive OTA from Tmobile? And how would one check if their phone is getting OTAs from Samsung or their carrier?
When I look here, it doesn't specifically list the One UI 2.5 update, but, like I said, one of our Tmobile phones got the update.

You can use Odin and frijA or samfrew to get the latest firmware. And flash it manually. If they Are byod sometimes they can be finicky on updates
Hi,
I had purchased the Korean version of the Z fold 2 SM-F916N here in the UAE, its PDA is F916NKSU1ATK1 and CSC is F916NOKR1ATK1, yes it SK Telecom carrier tagged, but i can use with local service provider Etisalat without any issue except for Samsung Pay, what i wanted to know is why its still showing the October 2020 security patch as the latest, anybody having the same model got the November or December security patch?
Also will there any issues if I flash the phone to UAE CSC (XSG) from the current Korean CSC (KSU) ?
Thanks
Hi, I'm in the US. I have an unlocked, direct from Samsung Fold 2. I'm still on the Nov security patch. Samsung's time line for Android 11/One UI 3.0 update is Feb 2021. My guess is, I will get the December and Jan patch later this month. I would anticipate you getting those updates as well. Your updates may take a little longer only because it is carrier branded and so there is yet another chef in the kitchen, so to speak.
*Not sure about the flashing, sorry.
How can you still be on November security update living in USA? I have unlocked Fold using on AT&T network and I have December security update already since December 19, 2020?

Thanks for your reply, yeah I get what you are saying with "another chef in the kitchen", carriers take their own sweet time pushing the updates, they have their own schedules as opposed to Samsung's monthly updates for premium flagships, was hoping it would be different with the Z Fold 2, being also an expensive phone.

Same. I'm a little confused by their timing with updates, however take as long as you need if it's going to ensure a good experience. Cheers

Depends where you buy it. The non carrier unlock receives updates last. Which why we still on Nov update. Once all carrier are approved we get pushed the update.

Hello, I have the verizon branded op8. It works fine, too bad I cant root... I am using it on ting, with a sim for the verizon network, switched from the sprint last fall. The phone software version is IN2019_15_210110, latest security update is december 1, 2020. Anyone know how to force an update?
Thanks, David
