I haven't been up here in a little while, but I came across a site that said the Update from Sprint was Coming soon, or Already came... Somethin like that?
So I was just wondering, Is it out?
Shouldn't be until August. Here's the post with source I put in General:

This is the site Rogers uses to keep people updated on the release schedule for JB. It used to say Mid March for release, and yesterday it was updated to that. Stupid question, but what does that mean?

Samsung has to give the ROM to Rogers, so that they can molest it first by injecting it with bloatware before pushing it out to the devices.
I guess they kept on delaying the dates to Rogers to the point where they are fed up and don't want to give a date. Because it got changed many times.
In spite of the title, this looks like Jellybean talk. Prepare to be deleted, locked and\or moved to that JB only thread.
As stated please use the sticky thread
Thanks

Anyone heard any rumors as to when our T-Mobile Note8's will be getting the Oreo update? I've looked online and have yet to find any predictions.
I hear the oreo beta program will start next month for the s8 which I'm a little upset about. I feel that the now the note 8 is the flagship device, Oreo beta should be on the note 8. The official release will probably be late January/early February if we're lucky
I don't care when it comes! I'm enjoying this phone as is.
I'd rather wait and have most bugs fixed, than rush the update and have some important functions not work any more and then wait on another update to fix the first one. Anything in particular In Oreo. that you're waiting for, or is it just newer must be better. Is it safe to assume they will patch current root exploit, because that maybe a reason for some to actually not update at all.
Has anyone got the android pie update yet met to be released at some point this month or next ? And does anyone know if we can expect any new features like always on display or dex support?
August is the last date I've seen for the update.

Samsung in uk seem confused and keep changing the months there are 2 tab s3 on the list but I'm sure there is only one model.
are we expecting an update on the 4 of April?
updates are usually planned for the first Monday of the month right?
Right
I personally am not expecting this phone to get updated on the first Monday. And technically that would not even be a month from the last update anyway. For whatever reason Google really hasn't been able to keep this phone on the same schedule as the others. I could be due to the fact that it is the only one and Linux kernel version 5 all others are on version 4. Or maybe it's because they have too much other crap going on with dev previews. We had 12l dp which as really only a feature drop. Then we have 13 beta. And then they announced that the 12l program would be continues as a monthly platform for the next feature drop. So I personally think they took on too much. Then you add in the the p6 is a completely different phone than the previous generations of pixels. They still haven't figured out the modem yet.
So my answer is no I don't expect it the first Monday in April maybe the second Monday.... maybe
Yes l am expecting an update on Monday, Google need to start releasing timely updates for there latest phones.
Without any actual information on which to base my opinion, I'm guessing yes we'll see the update on the 4th. It's not a Feature drop month so the update will be simpler, and they really need to incorporate the dirty pipe patched kernel.
I'm not expecting anything. I'll wait until my Pixel 6 comes back from RMA (for the second time) and then I'll sell that POS.
Haptics!!!
The March update seemed to be on schedule for the older Pixel devices using older kernels. I believe that latest devices with the newer kernels were delayed because of the 0-day exploit that was discovered last-minute. They wanted to patch that in the March update.
So barring anything like that then I would expect Google to be on time with the April update. Or at least not as late as the March update was.
The only bad thing about updates is the unnecessary new threads from peeps not understanding what they are doing.
Also custom Roms create issues.
I guess flashing and modding for the hell of it with no idea why. Is like a drug to some peeps.

The fix is in kernel version 5.10.102 and above and the kernel version for the March update is 5.10.66. The CVE for this vulnerability is not listed in the March update either.
I don't believe they fixed this in March.

You are correct. They didn't fix the dirty pipe vulnerability with the March update and in fact Google confirmed that the delay in March was not due to this particular vulnerability.

I guess I should have looked that up.
But I'm really not bothered about when in the month the updates come as long as they come. Though I'm coming from an LG phone and updates weren't really a thing I expected from them.

I am not too worried about this vuln. It requires physical access to the phone.
Based on previous updates I won't be in a hurry to install the next one right away.

AS far as I know, the dirty pipe vulnerability can be included in a compromised app.
Fido hasn't listed anything yet.
The March update was released on 03/21, right? That will be two weeks tomorrow -- seems an awful short turnaround.
I'll be pretty surprised if the April update rolls out on the 4th.
It`s here.
Update 12.1.0 (SP2A.220405.004, Apr 2022) released 1PM EDT April 4th
Still Kernel 5.10.66.
where do we find a changelog?
