T-Mobile released CSGB (early this morning... got mine around 1am through manual checking) but it doesn't have night mode for the camera.
So hopefully soon (preferably with August's security patch) they will release it.

CSGF also has new wireless charging animation

That sucks hopefully you won't have to wait much longer. The feature isn't really as impressive as i thought it would be. But there is just something about getting new stuff lol

Actually i retract my statement. For whatever reason the first couple of pictures i took didn't work well perhaps the conditions weren't right. I just took some that worked AWESOME though.

Well, had my S9+ for about a week and am not impressed by this phone at all beside it being an Android. For me, Android auto has been a nightmare. Updating to the latest patch and hopefully it fixes some things with Samsung. I use my XS Max more than my S9+ which is a shame,but more reliable in a Carplay sense. Hopefully there are more fixes than just a camera update. Looking forward to this update

The night mode in the camera seems to work pretty well. No complaints here. It took a pretty nice dark picture and brightened it up nicely. Nice update so far. Looking forward to what else is new

Is that the update they dubbed "System Update 14"? I clicked learn more and they only have info for up to 13's.
I just randomly checked about a half hour ago and boom there it was.. But I can't find ANY info ANYWHERE about it. Also on VZW S9+

Yeah I tried searching during the download and couldn't find anything. Night mode is nice and it's now bootloader 6. That's the only things I found so far

G965USQU6CSGF. Bootloader 6. Night mode was referred to in camera

I've got an factory unlocked SM-G965U1 which I currently use on T-Mobile. If I find a buddy on Verizon and pop in his SIM, might that mean that I'd get offered the Verizon version of the update, which would include night mode?
I know that method works for getting monthly security updates.
Or is this special feature update ONLY for people on the Verizon-modified rom?

To answer my own question in case anyone else comes across this in a search, I borrowed a friend's Verizon SIM card, popped it into my Snapdragon/factory-unlocked S9+, and was offered 3 consecutive updates to jump me from a patch level of January 1 (where I started yesterday), then to May/June, then to July 1, then finally to Aug 1 - which is pretty awesome, because the Aug patch was literally just released yesterday.
So, I'm definitely blaming T-Mo for this, because with this Verizon sim, I literally got a day-old Samsung-released update.
However, I didn't get Night Mode. Just the security updates (and the new charging animation). Oh well.

AT&T finally included night mode with the latest update earlier this month and I really didn't notice much to write home about either...
Until I took this picture last night using night mode (it was pretty dark outside like 10 minutes before the sun set)

Later then on At&t....lol... But I hope very soon..
I'm hoping within a day or two, but you never know with the Canadian carriers. I'm pretty sure we got 4.3 first though, so I'd imagine that it's ready to go.
hope the update will come soon, at&t has already the update....:highfive:it still indicated soon on roger site. hope it will come in the next two weeks:fingers-crossed:. What I like in kitkat above all is the mail, gmail like, and google now is integrated to the launcher. will see how samsung put it in their touchwiz.
Hope it comes to Fido soon. I'm thinking that if it comes to Rogers, then it should be ready for Fido also.
Even though I'm not using any SIM in it yet lol, wonder how that goes. I tried with Keys3 and it tells me I have the latest version (4.3).
I'm mostly excited for the snappier speed! It is sluggish in some parts in 4.3 and touchwiz really makes it slower than it's supposed to be!
Waiting on Telus
Then I'll be cookin'!
Edit: No S4 - 4.4.2 on the
Telus upcoming software updates...

One of the reasons I left HTC for Samsung is faster updates
(I know there are Nexus for that, but Im not really interested in stock Android, except for the Nexus 7)
And now they are making us wait ?
3-4 weeks after ATT updates
Last time I chatted with Telus, the support team mentioned they generally release updates 3-4 weeks after AT&T. So looks like it will be end of March

not sure if they will be released at the same time but the last update(4.3) I installed on my Koodo S4 was the same one used for Bell S4.
Anyone remember if they all received the update the same day ?

Seems a little more than just a camera update. Verizon has done a good job at locking down Motorola devices running 4.4.4, just saying I wouldn't take the OTA without already being s-off if you ever want to root again, I guess time will tell...
Also it improves the sound. the OTA changes firmware of audio components to newer than on Harman/Kardon version. It's first audio update I think for the "normal" version of One M8.
And fixes the cracking that can be heard at high volume with some headphones.

Been running the latest update since this morning.
How funny. I was in Best Buy on Saturday and visited the Samsung Kiosk. I had issues with my multi-window randomly popping up without pressing it. Anyways, I took it in and got them to reflash the device. Didn't notice till now but I got the update on that day, which solved my problems that I have been having since I got the device.
Can't wait until VZW pushes this out 6 months from now.
when does AT&T usually push anything? It's already April and I still haven't received the March security update.

So you don't want to update to a better performing phone, in hopes of rooting to get a better performing phone minus features. You may miss out and continue waiting until the s8. Just saying you should just try enjoying the phone.

I can confirm after almost a full 2nd day of use that this update does wonders for standby. My phone came off charger this morning at 8 AM, its not 4 PM and I am at 87% battery remaining. SOT only 23 minutes, some voice calls, some emails. But standby is outstanding and noticeably improved since the PC8 update.

Give it another month. :good:
I dont want to wait another month. Samsung took my note 7, told me to get a s7e and it would be updated to be nearlt as good within a month or so. Horse hockey. We are way over due for a promise they made to consumers they screwed over.
And enough of this carrier approval crap. Push the dam update out and own up to any problems that arise.
I've still got my Note 7 - it was hotlined once, I got VZ to take the hotline off. Went several days into February and no hotline, but I found a mint S7E for a great price so I bought it and put my N7 sim in the S7E. Been using that for a week now. My N7 is still the superior device for several reasons. Screen size, better curves (steeper) on the edge display, better display overall (brighter, whiter) and the S7E display also has more "curve" over the whole thing while the N7 is flat. Obviously 64GB internal on the N7 is superior. The AOD on the S7E sucks - it really, really needs the N7 AOD with 3rd party notifications. And finally Grace UI is nicer. I use Nova launcher prime, but the Grace settings and quick settings is still nicer. And lastly, the battery life on the S7E is worse. I have no idea why - it has a smaller display and bigger battery. All that being said - once the S7E gets Nougat it will help. But that'll be pretty close to when the S8+ will be out, and I will likely be getting that anyway. I really hope Nougat for the VZ S7E is out soon. Like tomorrow. The pics the OP linked look legit, so let's hope VZ gets us Nougat before March. I wouldn't count on it though.

I think its ironic an "unlocked" model takes longer to receive updates directly form the MFG. This make no sense at all.
Sprint also released the Nougat firmware today! Verizon will now officially be the last.
I usually don't care too much for OS updates - they are almost always over rated. However since Grace UI and the improved AOD come with this Nougat update, it is one OS updated that is very much needed. Verizon is literally always the last carrier to roll out OTA's. It simply shows they DGAF about their customers. And that they want to bake in more bloatware than other carriers. Both are selfish reasons on Verizon's part for rolling out OTA's far slower than other carriers.

I agree, if I didn't get a discount through my work and also have good reception in most places including my home, I would have ditched Verizon. I was considering using Ting but after I added up a 3 device plan with the amount of texting that my wife does it ends up being within $10. Even project Fi was about the same difference.
someone should tweet Verizon with this update code that the guy gave in the gif and pretend they have Nougat on a test device and say you will release the rom if they don't release it world wide soon or at least give an eta lol.
This has to be fake. Verizon customer service just told me that we weren't getting the update at all andI could consider the Pixel XL, lol. Hopefully they were misinformed

Why not just consider another provider? I know I'm leaving as soon as I get rid of this phone and tablet I've got thru them.
I know exactly when they will release it. The day before I can get my hands on an S8. Same thing every year.

Just finished install. Camera app is now version 0.1.073. The Play Store version is still version 0.1.067. Oh, and I should state that my phone is a pre-production review unit so you all probably won't get this update. Let me go play with this camera and I'll post if I notice any changes. October security patch!
EDIT: Sorry. In trying to add a second image displaying the camera changelog, I somehow created a second thread. Could the mods please remove the first thread with only the one picture? Thanks!
Can you also check the slow scrolling?

Scrolling seems no different to me. But I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for.
When you scroll slow it looks like the framerate chugs.
Here is a super obvious example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbw_TUnfXuU
The slow scroll micro stuttering is something I hope to see fixed. Please tell me it is.

I see what you mean now. It's still there. Maybe not as bad as in the video, but still noticeable.
That is unfortunate. Let's hope the final build will fix this.
I'm getting NMI81C installed right now.

Micro stutters
I updated to today's build and no changes whatsoever to the slow scrolling issue. I'm VERY disappointed. If they don't fix it within a few months I'm done. This is my biggest issue with the phone. Coming from the HTC U11, the slow scrolling is horrible.

I'm using a preproduction phone that Essential sent out to reviewers. Those phones use beta-keys builds. Guess they are the Guinea pigs.

You should dump the camera APK for us to test!

In today's Reddit AMA, me and a bunch of other people brought it up. They said they have a fix for it and it will be in one of two OTAs planned for release in the next few weeks. SOURCE
Any way to force NMI81C? Mine still says September patch levels are current.
EDIT: I was able to force the update onto my phone via adb sideload. Worked fine. Instructions at:

Just installed the new update.
Seems to be much faster opening and processing now.
Only my opinion of course.

Finally one opinion about what this update is about: the camera, and not the stuttering. Hopefully other camera-related opinions will follow !

You're correct. As of tonight it still isn't offering me October.
---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------
The camera has virtually no lag for me and even HDR shots only take about 1 second to process in the background. I find it comparable to what I have been able to get from the Google camera. I find that both have a bit of a blue shift in most cases that I have not been able to get rid of. It's more sensitive to it in office lighting. I also find that with both apps, the output is slightly oversaturated (verified by pulling to my laptop to rule out the screen itself).
None of it is bad enough for me to really complain about it, but I'll be trying to find ways to tweak as we move forward. I love the phone otherwise. It is incredibly snappy, at least for me. I don't notice any lag.
