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'm in the European region usually the security update is pushed out a month after. So November security update is pushed in December
I got it 530F France
I have update with patch for november. I can't update without Odin. If I install new wersion with Odin, I'll must wate 168 hours for OEM unlock. Can this somehow be avoided?

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 ?

Please post your source for this. Didn´t find anything about Samsung stopping Security-Updates in a quick search.
I think it would be cool to have Android 8 by November, but i still think it will come in February...
Please provide source etc
Afaik there's a beta program in November which I'm holding out rooting for but the main update is a few months away at least

Also all over Google bud.
Iv come from HTC land so not sure of Sammy update test routines but looks interesting!
HTC beta programs were a bit too exclusive but looks like the s8 test is open to whoever wants to provide feedback and test?

we are getting 7.1.1 then a Oreo beta then oreo. Oreo closer to December from my best guess.
They don't stop regular updates to do betas.
I was wondering why my s8 did not receive September update yet.
Usually I get the security update 15th of the month.
And this September security update is very important because all our devices are vaurnable to Bluetooth attacks. I hope Samsung releases it soon.
My S8 still has July security patch(running T-Mobile firmware). T-Mobile previously released all security patches monthly, but skipped August, so I do think it is possible for 7.1.1 to come soon with at least September patch.

If you read the article linked in my post, you may notice a sentence about the S8 and S8+
The Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+ haven’t received this fix yet.

My T-Mobile branded S8 got the August security patches, but I'm located in germany. Maybe some policy restrictions in different countries.

The unlocked S8 units in US also got August update, but T-Mobile US for some reason haven't.
Is anyone else disappointed that the security patch updates are taking so long to be released. . We're 3 months behind now.

I've got a HK U11 plus. What region is your phone from?
Cheers
No update for CID 060 yet
Got a new update today, Taiwan version
Software number 1.24.709.7
Android security patch still Dec.1 2017
Didn't specify what is new in patch note
Has anyone tried to contact HTC? I'm very disappointed with the security updates. I thought that HTC was going to be better than LG
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

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.
I have had my Z Flip 3 since October 6th. I received the September 2021 security update immediately. But since the October 2021 update has been released, my phone will not get it. I have tried several times to check for updates, but it says there is no updates. Has anyone else on Verizon in the US got this update?
I see I can download an update from SamMobile, but I wasn't sure it was for Verizon.

I believe the base update for the 711U is the same across all US carriers. Just pick another CSC such as TMB.
