N960FXXS8FUC4 APRIL 2021 UPDATE? - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers

uk unlocked phone So guys I'm on android 10 one ui 2.0 the very first version of it
And just decided to get the newer version of 2.0 the jan or feb patch but the ota update comes up with april 2021 security update
N960FXXS8FUC4 do you guys know anything about this update is it one ui 2.5 or is it one ui 2.0 still ? do Samsung delete older updates off the sever now and just push the latest updates?I'm 17 updates behind I was expecting to be able to update 1 by 1?
Instead of being forced to jump to the very latest version in 1 hit

What? I thought all notes shipped with One UI 2.5 out of the box? OTAs always updates to the latest update available for the unit. It skips older updates.

Thanks for answering my question I'm using a note 9 uk.and posted this in the note 9 forum along long time ago with no views or replies.as that forum is dead .so I posted the question in the note 20 forum as that is still alive .thanks for clarifying that it skips all the subsequent updates and jumps to the latest now Samsung must remove the old updates from the servers.

Security Patch Update

Is anyone else disappointed that the security patch updates are taking so long to be released. . We're 3 months behind now.

I've got a HK U11 plus. What region is your phone from?
Cheers
No update for CID 060 yet
Got a new update today, Taiwan version
Software number 1.24.709.7
Android security patch still Dec.1 2017
Didn't specify what is new in patch note
Has anyone tried to contact HTC? I'm very disappointed with the security updates. I thought that HTC was going to be better than LG

Any OTA after 8.0.0.130(C432)?

Hello,
I recieved my UK model of Honor V10 (BKL-L09) today which is on firmware 8.0.0.130(C432) out of the box with Jan security updates. Is this the latest? (I've checked the updates manually several times but nothing!)
I think I've read somewhere that March security patches have been dispatched but I can't remember where I read this.
I still didn't install the sim card yet as I'll need to buy a new one from the shop tomorrow but I'm not sure if this has any influence on having any OTA update showing up.
P.S. Firmware finder didn't find anything!
Also, I'd like to know an approximate date for Official Oreo 8.1 + EMUI 8.1 ROM for European models (as it is the case with the USA models which are on these latest versions out of the box)

You are in the last firmware for this variant.

On a 432 variant?
I have received OTA 8.0.0.140 (C675). No big upgrades but yes, on my device the ram management is a lot better now.

Model is BKL-L09
Now it's 3 months since we receive updates ... Bah ...
I have never gotten any update still on 120(c433)
I do not understand why it does not make improvements on a still unripe terminal. At least update the security patches .. Bah ..

Is Android 9 Pie worth it? Still on 8.1 Aug here

I've a TA-1055 in the UK and haven't had an update since the August security patch 8.1.
I know others have the Android 9 update but I'm still waiting for the OTA to arrive. There are some features I like in the latest version but there are plenty of posts on here about problems and how to rollback to 8.1.
Like with every version if updates go smoothly and all working fine then yes updating is always recommended but Pie still seems buggy over all.
Is it worth upgrading yet?

Don't know if it is worth upgrading. I am also in UK on TA-1055 Oreo 8.1 but Oct security patch which came OTA. Still no sign of OTA update to 9 and HMD support is useless regarding info about UK versions getting it. They keep saying it takes time to roll out.

There's some problem in update which is making device more buggy so wait else your condition will be like us...

No real issues on mine, very happy with Pie.
But as this forum shows, YMMV.
No issues whatsoever on Pie, here. The only problem I have with the phone right now is that the brightness doesn't go below 16%, which isn't related to the Pie update, according to reddit.

I have an issue with camera... When taking a photo and trying to view it from within the app... the camera app just stop responding...
I did not have this issue on Oreo.
T-1046 Running pie with Nov update...

not have this problem with 3.39b on ta-1046
Not worth it if you like being a maybe semi newbie super user with this, because after it you'll become an iSheep.
As with any new phone I always disable most of the stock Google apps from the start. Just thought I'd re-enable the main Google app and reboot into safe mode.
Bosh! Now I get the update notification for Android 9 and ran the install plus received all the latest security updates.
Main instant issue on Pie is the search bar that cannot be removed without using a new launcher or rooting..Bugger
OTA Pie arrived on my UK TA-1055
Just to note that I got the OTA Pie update here in the UK on a TA-1055 last night. I was on 8.1.0 August before that.
It came through with the November security update, the December update came through straight after.
All seems to be working fine with no factory reset or out like that.
No issues with mine, but nothing to write home about either. Android 9.0 is meh in general. Don't stress so much about it.
I upgraded from Oreo w/ Oct SP to Pie w/ Dec SP. Is it worth the upgrade? I'll let the Pie battery stats speak for itself ? (n.b. I fully wiped /data by factory reset from recovery then restored from Google cloud backup).

Anyone with a HK Version getting pie yet

Hi all,
I purchased my U11+ from Wondamobile back in 2017 and have never had an update still on the Dec 2017 security patch
I wanted to know if there has been updates but I'm not getting any due to being in the UK ?
I'm in the U.S. and also have an HTC U11+ (HK version) that's still on the Dec 2017 security patch. Curious if anyone's received the Hong Kong Pie update or know when it will be rolled out ?
they say from HTC , the update comes after 45-90 days after taiwan version...
Exact same here - very disappointing.
Any one updated to Android Pie yet? Any difference in battery life and device performance?
This version will never see an update
I've not had one in almost 2 years since I got the device
Such a shame
No! I bought my U11 PLUS in H.K. 2018 April and it is still running 8.0.0

There is finally a software update for the HK version 1.24.400.16. Downloading now.
Android Pie now on HTC U11+ Hong Kong version!
Can't make this up!
Shortly after my previous post, I messaged the HTC Hong Kong on facebook. Thereafter, I received an Android 8 update (May 2018 update) Thereafter, I received the Android Pie update.
I live in Canada. Not sure if this has anything to do with it or if my security software (doubt it) was inhibiting updates.
Just the screenshot to HTC
Android P now downloading.
I'm having trouble getting mine to update the OTA, once the phone reboots it'll hit 24% and then hit me the red ! . Does this mean I have to flash all of stock RUU?
Yup! Downloading as I type.
Update #1: Damn! It is not PIE!
Update #2: After system rebooted, I hit the check update software button and got this...

Thanks guys
Just done my 1.24.400 May 2019 update
Now downloading 2.19.400.2
It's like Xmas come early as I haven't seen an update since the Dec 2017 update
It might bring new Life to this old boy.
I was considering the Pixel 4 but then I saw that it had the same specs as my current phone ? (albeit it probably does a lot more on Android 10)
U11+ was ahead of its time ....shame the updates were wack

It hasn't come out yet for the US Unlocked model, AFAIK.
FWIW, if you jump on the One UI 5 Beta (Android 13),it's on the August 2022 security patch.

It's all right here:
How to install the One UI 5 beta on your Samsung phone
The One UI 5 beta is upon us! Here's how you can sign up for the program and be the first to test Samsung's latest OS.
www.androidpolice.com
No data is lost on the upgrade, just as with any stable Android update, but, if you do decide to roll back to Android 12, it will reset your phone.
@vvrrare
If you use any GoodLock modules, some have not been updated for compatibility with One UI 5.
