Just received the 1 March 2019 security update - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion

Come on, Sprint! A week into April before I get this thing OTA? I'd been forcing a manual check almost daily too.
The S10 comes out and they seem to have forgotten they have other phones I guess.

Why a big deal? LOL, put your thought/time on something else or someone else like family hahahah

That's true tho. But security patches like the rest updates depend on a lot of things... I got mine before one week.

We know Sprint isn't the fastest carrier when it comes to patches. but taking over a month?! International versions of the S9+ had the March security update on the 18th. Delivering a patch dated 1 March 2019 a week deep into April is just unacceptable.

My estimate was based off an internal email i recieved from my corporate plug. According to this email all of the latest lg phones will begin to get updates to 6.x on or after thia date. I will post email later to prove what i type

It is a tiered rollout usually.. So some may start to get it before we do unfortunately, it has to come to our devices. Though no mention of it being released.

ATT G4 got it, maybe we are the next

Although I'm usually wary of others claiming "inside contact" knowledge, in this case I'll remain optimistic. The T-Mobile variant is overdue for an update. Absolutely nothing has come through yet since I purchased the phone on Oct 30th. I'm stock and no root/locked bootloader. At this point there's a laundry list of issues that need to be fixed including but not limited to YouTube freezing at 1440p playback and fingerprint scanner w/case on. My phone is paid outright and if T-Mobile doesn't push an update by the time the LG G5 specs are confirmed and the phone is released, AND I'm impressed, I'll have no problem selling this phone for it.

I believe the point was to related to the V10 -- articles from several sites reported that Feb 7th would mark the date that LG phones would start to receive Marshmallow. These phones included our V10 as well as the G4. Not all were going to be getting the update starting on that date, but that's the start date per these sites.

I suppose I agree, however being in the software design "Biz," and recognizing that missing Android 6 should not keep people up at night (understatement), it is far more important that LG gets it right, than if they are perceived as late. This is especially true with a phone is as highly customized as the V10. Also, I think that. 5.1.1 on the V10 is quite stable and fast overall. The upgrade promise was within 6 months of release, which would imply May at the latest. I would be OK with that- again, provided it is bug free, stable and fast.

Love how these sites don't put a date on their "news" stories.
They say "discovered only a week ago". Actually it was discovered last June. Google released a security update to fix it on Nov 8th.

Hopefully Samsung will get a security update to us soon that patches this.

C782 No updates since 9.0

Anyone else on C782 noticed since we got 9.0 (168) we haven't had anymore updates/security patches in a while, anyone know whats up with that? i feel like our phones have just been abandoned this is first and last time i use Huawei, Google Pixel or Samsung next upgrade for me at least they get monthly patches/fixes even my bros S8 is being security/bug patched each month.
I've noticed it too.
Still on .168
Still on .159 with November security
Get yourself on Huawei forums, under software there's a very large post, join the crowd pressuring them to change their process. Mods have put up "false" updates to try quieten the roar and just made it worse. Infuriating that FF can't work once you're already on pie, don't fancy downgrading and full wipe just for my security patch

They said themselves bi monthly updates for all p m and nova handsets, clearly trying not to get banned from anywhere else and bit off more than they can chew. Any time I've spoken to someone, being able to speak to anyone more senior than first point of contact is impossible (which from experience I'm pretty sure goes against certain rules re: complaints) contemplating a ceo office email with links to all these such posts and their own promises.
Not that it'll make a difference. Just need to vent haha

Who's your provider?
Three UK
I'm with Three. Still on 159, November security patch. Just been on a live chat with them. Nothing resolved but got a £25 credit.
Still on .168 for me as well, showing 1st December security patch.
Last time I buy Huawei as well, I don't mind not getting full updates but not even getting security updates is ridiculous.

Yeah i just wish they would push them out monthly like samsung does instead of making us wait 3-5 months and by that time the update is worthless.

Bi-monthly would do me fine. In a dream world I'd like 9.1 and camera processing parameters from the P30 Pro (I've read it's a little less heavy on the processing) but I doubt we'll ever see that!
Still 1st Dec 18 security for me, unlocked phone from o2 with Voda sim.
Pathetic, it's almost 5 months out of date.
Love the phone but won't buy another Huawei.

My point being the article was written the say after I said I doubt we'll ever see 9.1.
You're right though, probably still months to wait until we see it.
Seems 3 customers are getting .204?
Nothing on O2, EE and Vodafone.............
Asia Pacific is getting monthly security updates so far. I on April security at the moment.

Android 10

So, looks like no more dessert names for Android... I kind of liked it, it made them stand out. Whatever. So, last year Pie was released the same day it was named, sooo, hoping it gets released today! It's definitely imminent either way.

It's not going to be today. It will be this Monday the 26th at the earliest. If not then, it will be sometime after Labor Day. I'm hoping for Monday though.

Android 10 release date confirmed: Here's when Google will release it to Pixel phones
I tried the latest beta earlier and when I was lookong around the Google play services was showing as 1st September. Security was 1st of August.
Being a nosey sod I pressed it for more info and it said there was an update. Downloaded a small update and then was back to 1st of August. Kept saying there was still an update but that failed.
Could be the bods getting ready for the new updates maybe? But never seen the play services with its own entry before.

Meh, I would take this with a grain of salt. Google chat reps seriously don't know what they're talking about most of the time. They don't even have the means to help with much either. Also, the fact that he or she said that it would be Android Q really shoots it down for me. I mean, who knows. I'm betting on this week or next anyway.
Some new information regarding Android 10/Q which would have been Android Queen Cake if Google would have stuck with the dessert names ?.. and also the future of Android with Android lead engineer Dave Burke and another lead developer

XT1900-1 september security patch

Just received the September security patch for Moto x4 XT 1900-1 retail version.
Thought I might share the news with the good fellas here.
same here on my XT1900-7, it is just strange that it was automatically installed, without my confirmation
Thought it's October now... Isn't that a month late???

Yeah, you are absolutely right! But unfortunately, that's Motorola's way of delivering update. And I'm not even hopeful to get an Android 10 update.

Late is better than never, which is the case for the vast majority of phones many of which are newer than the X4.
Does anyone know if the FI/AndroidOne version for sept. has be released? Can't find in my usual locations.
Noticed on the Lolinet site that the RETUS releases has "PPWS29.69-40-3-1" uploaded on 10/3. Seems like a newer build just going by the naming scheme?
Just got another OTA, for October 1
PPWS29.69-39-6-1

I got the update today as well, which came as a surprise. I was wondering the same thing regarding some urgent fix.
Maybe they are trying to appease the masses over not getting Android 10 by providing faster security updates. I feel like they wiggled out of providing the upgrade. Technically speaking from a calendar standpoint, the Android 10 release was within the 2 year OS upgrade path when looking at the release date of the phone. Rant over. Time to look towards custom ROMs.
i just got november, PPWS29.69-36-2. support.motorola.com/us/en/solution/MS145560
