Carrier Delays?

Are there carrier delays for firmware updates like with regular phones? My ATT S3 has yet to receive Samsung's latest firmware. I play not, ATT is a joke when it comes to firmware timing.

Yes there are usually delays with the carrier models. I have the Gear S2 and S3 on T-Mobile. I have always gotten updates for the S2 a little while after the wifi versions got the Samsung update.

Carriers are mostly slower to release firmware updates but sometimes faster.
From Nov of 2015 to Nov of 2016 for my AT&T Gear S2 3G, all firmware updates except for one came later than the unlocked Gear S2 models. AT&T was faster than Verizon & T-Mobile though.

So Gear S3 updates will come from the carrier as opposed to straight from Samsung?

Yes the carrier controls our firmware, think of it just like most cell phones. Usually the manufacturer releases an update and then each carrier will adapt it into their next firmware update. Right now only AT&T and T-Mobile have the LTE version of the S3. We will see which carrier releases an update first.

Who cares who releases 1st, they both take forever compared to Samsung, ugh! Combined with a $25 monthly (with taxes) on AT&T I'm leaning towards returning for LTE-less

Where's AT&T's update?!!

ATT update notification?

I didn't have my gear on me, and I got anotification for a new verison update. When I got home and connected the device, it said there wasn't an update.
Did anyone else get an update notification on ATT the other day?

I saw similar reports from SM-R760... SM-R770 users... Look here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/help/update-notification-disappeared-update-t3722552
IMHO this is "False Alarm" in case of new Firmware...
Latest is still:
Code:
R765AUCU2BQD4/R765AATT2BQD4/R765AUCU2BQD4
Maybe this is database "tweaking"...
Maybe they are playing with SQlite Database...
I expect no Firmware for SM-R765 LTE devices... this year...
Sorry.
Best Regards

It was only the phone app update.

Code:
R765AUCU2[B]CQL1[/B]/R765AATT2CQL1/R765AUCU2CQL1
Uupsi.
Can someone confirm...
SM-R765A from ATT can now update to Tizen 3:
Code:
CQL1
Best Regards

AT&T updating to Tizen 3 right now.

I updated to Tizen 3 today on my ATT LTE model. Looks great and battery seems to be ok. Time will tell with battery life.

Anyone here have a PIxel Phone in Canada?

Does your Carrier get in the way of receiving updates, I've had a Nexus 5X and a Pixel 2 before and as far as i remember the carriers Virgin Mobile and Bell never got in the was of updates. Then again i did used to flash updates sometimes so idk maybe they did? Anyway i have the Essential Phone from Koodo and i never got the July Security patch also i still never got Android 9.0 according to to Essential Sprint? and Telus do further testing before releasing updates. I contacted Koodo and they said they do testing on Pixel and Essential updates So i want to know if anyone has a Pixel phone with a carrier in Canada, Do the carriers delay and test updates on them? I wanna get a Pixel 3 but not from koodo if i gotta wait a month or more for updates. Oh and i was told and read many people take out the Koodo sim cards and slap in a different carrier sim card and thats how they've been downloading the 9.0 update on Essential from Koodo.:silly:

I have pixel 2 on Koodo, I got the Android 9 update the day it was released.. I've had multiple Nexus, pixel devices and never once missed or was late with an update.

I think Tizen 3 is for the Gear S3.
I own both, S2 Classic, and S3 Classic. The S3 says Tizen version 3.0.0.2,
But the S2 is on 2.3.2.7

Question Samsung Canada delaying March update?

Rogers and Telus initially scheduled the 8th for FOTA release. Still no sign of update while the rest of the world seemingly is getting rolled out.

Rest of the world and Exynos getting it first then North America after. I'm in the U.S. with unlocked and haven't gotten it yet either. Guess we'll get it when we get it.

This is good, korea update fix gos trash

No update yet on Rogers canada. I think Samsung is holding on to the patch to include GOS fix in it. Its generating bad PR for the company.

Is Samsung doing a late fix on this gaming performance controversy, maybe??
