When will the international S7 receive the July update over the air? And any news about what this new update contains? (aside from the google security patches), any improvements to software?
thanks
I have the UK version of the G930F and I just got the 1-July-2016 update OTA today (12th July).

Any improvements or anything new ?!
Well I only switched to the S7 from an iPhone6 a few days ago so I probably wouldnt notice anything new yet, but I doubt there is as it is really a security patch AFAIK. I had felt some 'stickiness' in Candy Crush earlier, which now seems better but maybe that was due to a phone reboot anyway? Either way, doesn't seem a huge end user change.
My phone model is SMG970W. I got the OTA update for the June security patch around the end of June. Because I wasn't on WiFi at the time, I swiped away the update to get back to it at a later time. But when I searched for an update later, it kept saying I was already on the latest update. And it has been like this since. July's almost ending, I'm still on the May Security patch, no update in sight. Did everyone else get their updates?
New to OnePlus. Bought the OnePlus 8T when it came out. And I've received a couple of system updates. But, I'm still on the October security patch. How often do they release security updates? Or how far behind do they tend to stay on security updates?
USUALLY....they roll out security updates bi-monthly. Sometimes it will come a little later.
To get the fastest updates after release then use Oxygen Updater from the Play Store.
I have had three OnePlus phones and continue to use OnePlus. I have also used Oxygen Updater on all three without any issues at all.
Now the rub here is that when you do finally get the latest security update...it will probably still be a month behind.
So, hopefully we will get the update in early January, 2021...but it will most likely be the December, 2020 security patch. So while OnePlus is pretty good at fulfilling their bi-monthly policy of security updates, they are almost always (always) a month behind.
Yeah, I'm absolutely loving the OnePlus phone. I've been a Google phone user for years. It looks like I'll be sticking with OnePlus... At least for the foreseeable future. Waiting to see what the 9 Pro is going to be like and may move to that. Just wasn't sure how the security patches worked. Thank you!
First time that a Pixel device (as far as I remember) ended monthly updates on exactly the expiration date. I totally forgot that October 31 was the last day until I saw that newer devices received updates today while the 3 and 3xl had not.
Yep. We should get one massive "quality" update next month, and then that's it. Since we now have 12 I'll probably keep the 3XL until the 7 comes out to keep the OS updates going since my phone is pretty much flawless, and I just got a new battery for it about 4 months ago.
The Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL will get one final software update next year
The final Google Pixel 3 update will likely only bring some minor bug fixes for the three-year-old smartphone when it finally drops.

Update released today. https://www.droid-life.com/2022/02/07/pixel-3-gets-what-should-be-its-final-update/
Updated my 3XL this morning via OTA sideload. No issues with the update or functionally after update. One issue that is mentioned in this article https://www.androidpolice.com/googl...Taro on,still displays October after updating is occurring on mine (probably everyone) where it still shows the October security update.

Same for me showing Oct security update
Same here.
The two things that we can praise its the improvements in smoothness and it feels mutch faster than before.
With only 12Mb, I have no idea what they fixed beside that.

I have a Pixel 7 Pro purchased through T-Mobile. 100% stock, no modifications. Google Play System update is Nov. 1. I am still on the November security patch. Attempting the system update results in ""Your system is up to date" Is this a google problem, TMobile slow update or a phone problem?
T-Mobile I'd imagine. Just use Pixel Flasher or https://flash.android.com
I joined the beta program

How is it? Stable enough to daily drive? I was stuck on the Nov. 22 patch as well until I sideloaded via ADB last night.
Nov 1 is the latest Play System Update afaik, at least thats what the QPR shows....
Google is having problems
This is one of those moments where it's not you it's them is actually true and not gaslighting . Play Updates are not rolling out properly

Seems you are not alone.
T-Mobile is running way behind on Google Pixel security updates
Timely updates are supposed to be a prime Pixel perk

Yeah I am on December update very annoyed with Google nothing has changed

That sucks and should not be the Pixel experience. I would call T-Mobile and ask them why you are on an old update?
I have had decent updates so far but would be rather upset if I had a security update that was older than other OEM as that is part of the reason for getting a Pixel.
Sign up for Beta and you'll get QPR2 Beta 2. In my experience, it is much more fluid and responsive than previous builds. It fixes the scrolling issues and seems to have improved battery compared to the December update.
My wife's P7 still is on Dec update and says it's up to date. I manually flash and root mine, but not about to go to that work for her phone.

Can't you just adb sideload update.zip without having to even unlock the bootloader?

Google provides the means to update it yourself manually easily if you're not willing to wait for your turn. Their tools aren't even that complicated to use. I don't understand the big deal when you have manufacturers like Samsung that can take 3-6 months or longer to update between major version releases, Motorola that updates whenever they feel like it and only gives 2 years of major version updates, and OnePlus that's always behind like 2 months in security updates.

I could, but it's my wife's phone so I don't want to mess with it. I'd have to pry it out of her hands first.

If she's complaining about it, 10 minutes in your hands beats you hearing about it for however long it takes for the update server to decide it's her turn.
Also mine show November as last play service update (I'm on the beta). Italian unlocked phone
Nov is the latest still for play system. There wasn't a Dec and Jan hasn't rolled out yet

There's also the indeterminate minutes, if/when something goes sideways...
This is being delayed for un-branded devices as well, such as mine purchased G-Store direct, based on some sort of carrier-block. I'm tempted to go dig through some dev-docs, to see if I can find this (could be an section not published for most, I suppose), but I figure to what end, mostly.
As you mention, easy side-load, but without knowing why this is being blocked for non-TMo (branded, so not gated by their release of their OTA) devices, it's a gamble of sorts...
I just posted in another thread that I think this is an odd situation. I use an MVNO Boost Mobile that uses T-Mobile and I got the update on the 5th. Maybe I got it before they pulled it? Why would they hold the update back to T-Mobile customers but not the MVNO?
