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.

So where are the monthly security patches? I'm on the current software and is still August first security patch. Aren't we supposed to get a monthly patch from Samsung? Didn't they advertise that for all future phones after the S7?
I owned an S8+ and it got monthly updates for 3 or 4 months, now those have stopped too.
Anyone know what the deal is? Not even sure it's an AT&T issue. Looks like no Samsung phones are beyond Android 7.1.1 August 1st security patch.
Only applies to unlocked devices.
Carrier devices are managed differently.
I bought a V50 here in the UK that was originally sold by the Australian network Telstra, The phone works fine but I didn't know before I bought it that Telstra V50's have not yet been updated to Android 10.
Is it at all possible to change the firmware so I can get Android 10 quicker ? Not changed any firmware before but if someone has a idiot's guide lol
Thanks
No...
Same boat over here in Oz...
Thanks for the reply, That's a shame the phone is nice but I am a bit concerned about the security updates are still saying October 2019.
Might have to sell and go for a S20 instead.
S20 is trash. Compared to this phone

Says someone ho has the benefit of being upgraded..
Seriously, still on Android 9 and security patch is October 2019...
No Android 10 in sight and LG passing the buck back to Google saying they haven't released the OTA to us here in Australia yet.
Hardware might be good but the software support is straight down the toilet. Honestly, this was supposed to be a flagship device, I've had $200 phones with better support, LG should be ashamed...
Android 10 has FINALLY been released for Australian V50's...
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.

Same here, unlocked on ATT, US.
Vzw stock on August. I have an S10e with October lol. So stupid. They should give us Ultra cameras for this inconvenience lol
Unlocked from Samsung. Was on August but just received October update.
I had a Note 20 Ultra 5G (N986U) from AT&T.
It was stuck on Sept 1, 2020 security patch. I contacted AT&T and they were literally NO HELP!
All the other carriers are getting security updates for Oct and Nov.
I thought the software was malfunctioning so I had it replaced by Asurion with a BRAND NEW Note 20 Ultra 5G (N986U).
However the same issue. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to force install security updates?
Welcome to AT&T... Nothing wrong with your phone at all. AT&T are notorious for delaying updates.
They released the Sept. update extremally late and completely ignored the Oct. update.
Nov. update "might" happen around Thanksgiving.
I have the same issue. I thought it was my phone. I'm also on the September 1 security update.

I'm still on July 2020, check for updates and nothing. I tried wiping cache and that didn't change anything. I'm on the unlocked variant. Samsung needs to fix this ****.

As another pointed out, welcome to the world of At&t. Make sure you are on the correct firmware. When I wasn't getting updates I made sure I was on correct firmware path starting with ATH3. Once installed Ota kicked in updating me to BTIF. What also helped, I set date 2weeks ahead then checked for update.

Are you using a N20U ? It wasn't even out in July but if you are is it Snapdragon or Exynos ?..... I'm using an unlocked SD one and its on the November security patch. I got the update a couple days ago.
The 1st build was July even though it wasn't out in July

Lol now im stuck again
I recently bought the A32 5G (SM-A326B/DS) in United Arab Emirates. The phone came with November 2021 security patch level (PDA: A326BXXU4AUJ6) and it seems no other updates are available, at least at this time. According to this website, that's actually the latest available firmware.
When I check this model in other locations, it seems updates are released more frequently. My old Motorola received security patches every two month. I never had a Samsung phone before and I am a little concerned about this.
According to Samsung's website, A32 5G should receive security patches every three month, but now four months are past without any updates.
Is it normal for Samsung A series to receive updates so late?

no it isn't, maybe it's your carrier's fault
