Just got update G935TUVU4APIA dated September 21, 2026. Size was over 300 mb.
Finally, they added option to stop automatic default app assignment.
Will see what else is there.
Interesting my update is dated September 1, 2016
Security patch level says September 1. Kernel version September 21.
This is not any different from the update weeks ago that was mentioned in the other thread, New LTE-A update.

Confirmed here.
THREAD CLOSED as we don't need two discussions on the same OTA.
I haven't received any update since Jan 2018, latest FW version I have is 8.0.0.342, wonder if anyone here has similar or different version and what he did to install it. I'm not rooted yet.
I'm living in China, and I'm still on 8.0.0.342 as well. I check my phone for updates on a daily basis, because I'm sure there must be an imminent update
good to know, wonder what happened to every quarter updates as Huawei was doing last year
8.0.0.354(C00) is now available OTA, it contains the March 2018 security patches

SM-A530N: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a8/SM-A530N/
I'm running a A-530F, H3G CSC variant on the 3 UK network and haven't received the November 2018 patch yet. I got the October 2018 security patch on the 18th October and from previous patch cycles I expect the November patch to arrive early to mid December. As a side note the October patch seemed to have improved performance compared to the September 2018 patch.

Though I think part of the slowdown in my case is the update being built for a carrier variant, this November 2018 update has come out late this month (from Sammobile, it looks like the A8 security patch was released last week https://www.sammobile.com/2018/11/23/galaxy-a5-2017-a8-2018-november-security-update/ ) Would I like it to be quicker? Of course, though the A8 is one of the few remaining non-S or non-Note Samsung devices to get monthly security patches. https://security.samsungmobile.com/workScope.smsb

Yeah, I've not seen any info regarding the W or N models. Looking at the release patch cycle for previous security patches, the A530W XAC looks to be overdue for its November update, given most updates were deployed around the middle of that associated and respective month https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a8/SM-A530W/XAC/

I have SM-A530F. Can I copi OEM file in /device, save it on SD Card and after install new wersion replace OEM file with OEM Unlock?
I can't replace file without root. Before install new wersion of Android I maked Backup Android with TWRP, but I can't restore Android without TWRP, and I can't install TWRP without Oem Unlock. Everything spins in the circle.
I got the October update on the 26/10, 2 days later i received the November update.
November update is now out for A530W
But not out for some carriers like freedom mobile
On the November update SM-A530F, I was waiting 191 hours for OEM Unlock and nothing. The battery was running fast, so I returned to the October update and I'm waiting for OEM Unlock. On the October update, battery is O.K.

Hmm, maybe it's one of Sammy's tricks into getting either the s9 or the new a8s ?
New update seems to has been released.
If there's anyone who has already installed it, tell us what's new in this version
Nothing new. China 3.149 version. Same April 1st security patch, but older Google Pay system update - Feb 1st, which is Mar 1st in 3.149.
Verizon users and retail users still with the same patch?

Me 2!
Just got May 1st one
1980-3 amazon variant here and I just got the May 1st security patch. QPFS30.130-15-11-3 is the build number for my phone. Yeah with an S. QPFS
Yeeeaaahhh, May security patch is downloading! I manually checked for updates just to see what will happen and then it popped up...
Almost in August and motorola send to us the May Security patch, why allways the patches goes with two months delay?????
Got July Security Patch this night. I am with retail version.
Received 2 updates in a month, 1st update was for April security patch and then last night (August 6th) was July security patch. My is retail version.
I eventually update mine to Android 10
It's July patch
I have gotten the July 1, 2020 security patch. I can't recall if it was last week or the week before that, or even before that. I just know that I haven't had an issue with not getting the updates. My phone was purchased unlocked directly from Motorola, so I don't know how much that has to do with it.
