Hi maneesha hope you can help
Maneesha 17:49:57
Hello Chris, how are you today?
Thank you for provided me with the information on your query.
Chris Nutt 17:50:25
As you can see its regarding firmware update
I'm good thanks hope your the same
Maneesha 17:51:34
Can I just clarify that your query if about updating the software on your phone?
Chris Nutt 17:53:01
Yes it is maneesha I sent back 2 faulty s6 that were on 5.1 this third is on 5.0,2 and saying up to date I know that's not the case
I'm on three network 5.1.1 was released for it well over a month ago
I've also tried smartswitch
Maneesha 17:55:26
That's correct, we have another update which has been released, 5.1.1 has only been released in the last few weeks. As updates are released in batches and does depend on the serial number and the region you live in.
Chris Nutt 17:56:37
So I will eventually get it I was just worried because other two s6 updated
Maneesha 17:57:21
Yes Chris, the update will still come to your phone, it's nothing to do with a fault. If we released the update to every Samsung user the servers would eventually crash. The update being released in batches does allow a smoother operating.
Chris Nutt 17:57:57
Was worried that somehow I'm missing update especially as I see Samsung are going to be doing security update stage fright etc
Any idea at all of time frame please maneesha?
Maneesha 18:00:17
The stage fright information being reported is still being investigated at this moment Chris to ensure there is no threat to our phones, as the update is released by Google.
Chris Nutt 18:01:01
OK that's good to know I hope to see an update soon cheers for your help
Hopefully really soon lol
Maneesha 18:01:36
My pleasure, is there anything else I can help you with today?
Chris Nutt 18:01:55
No thanks have a good one

I don't know what I'm doing wrong then.
Only had the phone for 2 days though. First time with LG.
Does this look right to you? (attached)

That seems right. I wonder if it could be IP triggered. Have you tried using a proxy server for LG Bridge to detect your phone with, i.e. Hong Kong IP?

Isn't that SEA stands for South East Asia, that means Singapore version?
I got 5.1.1 same as you. I asked from LG Singapore and they inform me that the update will roll out in this month.
No OTA update in Hong Kong but there are an MM update on the Bridge.
OTA update for Singapore version is available now.
V20a-SEA-XX
My HK set ( H961N) latest OTA update is V20d-HKG-XX

Have you tried the firmware finder ?
U will find it in the play store.
There are you tube vids on how to use it.
There are also guides on here for it.
There is also the Charles method.
You should have a good look and read though the threads
Maybe you can try to connect it to computer and use HiSuite to check for the update.
Or you "check update" by using your data plan. (The reason I stated this is due to if I check for the update via my office WiFi, I couldn't receive it due to our IT department is blocked update website)

What country are you in ?
Have you contacted Honor via HiCare ?
Google+
It's worth trying to speak to them.
Find out what's happening coz i should have had your update by now
I'm also from Malaysia and I didn't get the notification for the update. I had to check for updates using the hicare app.

April security patch released in Spain for SM-A750FN

On April 27th, it was released the latest security patch in Spain. This firmware can be found in Sammobile.
This update (A750FNXXU1BSD6) is not the same as in Russia (A750FNPUU1BSD2). The changelog only says that it brings security improvements, and I haven't found anything new.

That's very complicated. You should try to install SmartSwitch app from Samsung. I havent had recieved any OTA too. But when I connect to the SmartSwitch you can easily update your phone if any update available. I got the second pie update today in SmartSwitch. If you use SmartSwitch and no update will be there, then you can go into the manual update. Im from Slovakia too BTW
It was updated last night, and the pie is terrible. Changing my device. Farewell friends ?

I mean this app https://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/app/smart-switch you need to download to PC and also to mobilephone. When you connect the phone with PC , then launch the app in PC. This will automatically check for new updates. You can also do the update

Please go to Settings--> About the phone (down)--> Info about software, then do the printscreen and upload the picture here.
Or give me the software version carrier (it´s something like SAOMC_SM-A750FN_???_???_...etc)
I will try to help you to find if any update is available for you.
Pie
I've attached the screenshot here. Thanks for the help.

It seems that there is no PIE for you. You probably have XME Malaysia version of firmware.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/SM-A750GN/XME/ please see here your firmwares. If the update available, it will be here in the list.

Please check software update notes before posting.
One UI 5 has not yet been released for that model, so is there no "slow update" happening. You are already updated to the newest current version. When a new update is released, I'm sure you'll get it

When I said "please check notes", checking does not mean posting here in the thread every single day. It means use Google or other means to find the information on the internet yourself.
The update will likely not be released until next year
