WHAT IS SAMSUNG DOING?
both the china variant and korean variants have April patches.
ours is stuck on February
does anyone know what is going on?
UK version of the phone (BTU region) just received a june build with june patches . I got the update today. This phone is not a priority for Samsung as it's an A series phone plus it's only available for purchase in a limited number of countries so not many people actually have the phone. You have to be patient or get a different phone.
German Vodafone Version arrived today...

My phone is on the 3 UK carrier version and is still on February, wondering if my carrier is introducing a delay...

Hi Guys.
I've got a sim-free Note3 and I'm using an O2 sim. Yesterday the Lollipop v5.0 was pushed to my device.
Does anyone know if that means that I'll get a further update to 5.01, 5.02, 5.x sometime soon?
Thanks.
Steve
What is your csc?

If its an O2 phone you get the O2 update .
Sim is nothing to do with updates .
O2 Android 5 has been available for weeks .
Thanks guys. I've no idea what 'csc' is?
It's not an O2 phone, it's sim-free, I just happen to use an O2 sim with it - does that make a difference?
It might have been available for weeks, but it only got pushed to my phone yesterday.
Thanks
Steve
I highly believe we will get Android M update, officially.
@OP: Just enjoy the 5.0 update. There won't be any 5.0.1 or 5.0.2, at least not very soon. Cause 5.0 has been available for a lot of countries for over two months now, and there is absolutely no scene of 5.0.1 or 2, so better believe that those won't come. I am just happy to see that Samsung finally pushed an update which got rid of that delay while clearing recent apps, however that was just release for one country, but I am sure a wider scale of the same will be released soon.
Thanks guys! That's just what I feared. Just shame that such a great phone lags behind other, older models. My wife's Galaxy S4 is on 5.01!
A phone has a number of codes ( as shown in Kies )
Basically if its a O2 supplied phone it will have an O2 code and O2 are the ones that update the firmware if they want to .
Generic non branded as in UK BTU may or may not be in advance or delayed .
Who gets the upgrade first is very varied and over the years its varied from country to country getting first releases . Usually the non branded gets released well before the branded stuff .
Thanks. I'd read that sim-free unbranded phones were always LAST to get updates. It's confusing!
Thinking of picking one up, but, how often does Samsung update the os? Does it get regular security updates like the flagship phones? Saw a a user recently reported they got a blueborne security update along with a value pack 3 update from a us carrier, did anyone else get this update or blueborne patch yet in Australia?
Thanks
Edit, just found out, as of Oct 20, latest availble security uodate for Australia is R760XXXU2AQC
Anyone know what security fixes this has?
I read Samsung will only be pushing (Google) security updates every 3 months for the S7, but the latest was March 1st, so when is a new security update to be expected? Anybody already received one? I live in Belgium in case location matters. Normally should have been June 1st if cycle is 3 months.
Second, can we only expect 1 more year of security updates from Samsung for the S7 or could it be longer? Places like Amazon.de (Germany) still sell new S7 models.
Unlocked Samsung fold 2, and we are still stuck on August's security update? Should I have received an update by now? View attachment 5117485

Supposedly we unlocked folks are last in line for updates after the carrier locked ones.
This is my first time with a Samsung device and this is weird to me since Samsung advertises the Fold2 as a monthly updated device.
Whats weird is the don't even pump something out for the unsupported eSIM, it's crap it isn't functional at this point. Should have been an early patch addressing it world wide as it's already fixed in some markets.

This does seem odd to me that Samsung hasn't even given us September let alone October firmware/Security Patches.
I wonder if this issue happened with the OG Fold? Like Samsung Tablets, maybe Samsung was thinking that they wouldn't sell that many Z Fold2's and we'd be the last to receive any updates.
Has anyone seen any sales stats on the Z Fold2 yet?
This while release gives me a bad taste in my mouth the more it sinks in. A $2000 phone with no case included, no headphones, no special anything. Nothing made this purchase special. Then, the software we are all using hasn't had an update for 2+ months.

T-Mobile Fold 2, no updates yet. : (
My original fold has the September patches. Really unacceptable to still be on August with our Z Fold 2.

Everyone on the eastern hemisphere probably has the Sept update. Meanwhile the western is sitting at Aug patch. If you look on Sammobile, Singapore was the last place to get Aug patch on 9/16. Then on 10/4 got the Sept patch. We got our first patch around 9/13. Maybe they're finally finished over there and can show us some love over here.
I'll be damn, they now rolling out Oct patch to some peeps that have the Sept patch lol. They may as well just give us the Oct patch now.

Hi,
I had purchased the Korean version of the Z fold 2 SM-F916N here in the UAE, its PDA is F916NKSU1ATK1 and CSC is F916NOKR1ATK1, yes it SK Telecom carrier tagged, but i can use with local service provider Etisalat without any issue except for Samsung Pay, what i wanted to know is why its still showing the October 2020 security patch as the latest, anybody having the same model got the November or December security patch?
Also will there any issues if I flash the phone to UAE CSC (XSG) from the current Korean CSC (KSU) ?
Thanks
Hi, I'm in the US. I have an unlocked, direct from Samsung Fold 2. I'm still on the Nov security patch. Samsung's time line for Android 11/One UI 3.0 update is Feb 2021. My guess is, I will get the December and Jan patch later this month. I would anticipate you getting those updates as well. Your updates may take a little longer only because it is carrier branded and so there is yet another chef in the kitchen, so to speak.
*Not sure about the flashing, sorry.
How can you still be on November security update living in USA? I have unlocked Fold using on AT&T network and I have December security update already since December 19, 2020?

Thanks for your reply, yeah I get what you are saying with "another chef in the kitchen", carriers take their own sweet time pushing the updates, they have their own schedules as opposed to Samsung's monthly updates for premium flagships, was hoping it would be different with the Z Fold 2, being also an expensive phone.

Same. I'm a little confused by their timing with updates, however take as long as you need if it's going to ensure a good experience. Cheers

Depends where you buy it. The non carrier unlock receives updates last. Which why we still on Nov update. Once all carrier are approved we get pushed the update.
