[Q] Timezone DST not updated - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
This is a little tricky. The Daylight Saving Times in my country has been changed during the year 2013 by law.
Instead of finishing daylight saving time in September 8th we are finishing it October 27th.
The law has been passed in July and Microsoft has just last week issued a hotfix to all Windows machines to fix this issue.
I know that my carrier will change the time of the phone only in the appropriate time, that is not the problem.
The problem is the calender of our company Samsung Galaxy S3 and S II's are not updated with the right change (Android 4.1.2).
This means, for example, that if I set a meeting in my Outlook at September 8th at 08:00 am it will show up as 07:00 am on my phone.
This whole shift occurs to all our phones, between September 8th to October 27th.
We do not have root access to the phones. I would have tried this App if I did: TimeZone Fixer (ROOT)
Any ideas on how to fix this issues?
Thank you.

To my surprise when I checked my phone after Oniska replied, I have the November update to 7.0 installed. No idea when that was installed or how to be honest.
I'm installing bridge as we speak to see if there's anything newer.

Nope. Nothing newer than November. Google has put out some massive updates lately that are critical security fixes and I'd like them installed. Guess I have to wait for a provider update.
I got an update just this week, it was a security patch and it delivered nothing else.
My battery is still has an incredible drain.
Its an update from February 1th, i recieved it on my H860, SEA version, aka the Singapore version

Nothing to do with the network provider, my UK unbranded H850 is still on Nov2016. It is LG that is way behind the curve.
LS992 USA Sprint variant. Got my phone directly from LGE customer service center here in February.
My security patch is *older* (Jan. 1, 2017) than my phone manufacture date (Jan. 25. 2017) :silly:
Current patch level

My patch level is March 1 2017 since I got my latest update (last week) to 20b dated April 5.
When I was on stock it was months out of data I rang LG to complain and even the support people had a security version months out of date, November i think
I think this is shameful, only way to be secure is break your warranty
April 10 - 2017
Still on 1st November ??

Nexus 6P bootloop issue

Hello Everyone,
I want to share my expericence with Google Nexus 6P phone which I bought from Amazon on April 11, 2016. Unfortunate for me and fortunate for Huwaei that the device's warranty expired on July 1, 2017 (only 15 days ago). I have installed an Andriod update on July 10, 2017 and two days after my device went down and not booting up which is commonly known as bootloop issue. Even the same thing happened in recovery mode. First thing I did is contacting Huwaei support line (16th July) and asked them to help me fix this issue. In response, they created a ticket (gave me that ticket #) and assured that I will informed once two companies together will find a solution they will let me know (don't know when). They addmitted that it is not customer's fault at all but then iterated their warrenty policy said that device cannot be replaced. 5-10 times I heard the same thing from support person on the call.
After this conversation, I dropped an email to their support group showing how much annoyed and betrayed I was feeling. Got the same response on the email and you won't believe they suggest me to contact a third party technician to fix this. This is a problem with OS, how can any repair shop person can fix such an issue which Google and Huwaei are not able fix working together.
After such an awesome response from Huawei customer service, I tried google support as they are the one pushing updates to our devices. Google said that they would have replaced this device if I have bought this from a Google Store (even if its out of warranty). They mentioned that Huwaei should be able to do the same and warranty period should not matter for issues which is not customers fault infact customer is completely unaware of this.
I again called Huawei support and asked the support to escalate the case and share my situation with their senior management and help to fix my current device or get me a new one. I may be getting the same answer in next couple of days and I still have some hope. Let see what comes out.

I purchased Dec 1 2016 and just got my rma a couple days ago. Barely said anything. Sent in a few pictures with a short summary of my problem..
Don't be a ****, it'll get you nowhere.
Boss your device is still in warranty period but mine is not. You miss my point bro..
I am happy that they fixed the problem for you.

I've been trying but my bootloader is locked and I've tired heating it so that if boots at least once I can turn on Developer options and eventually the OEM unlock settings but I can't, so I'm stuck with the bootloop. Someone suggested calling the credit card company to see if they offer an automatic extended warranty on purchases and it looks like mine does (Discover Card in the US). Just called it in and I'll see if they'll replace, it since I'm past the 12 month warranty,

UK Firmware update

Hi boys and girls.
I'm on UK Sky Mobile and received an update for my Note 8 today ( N950FXXU1AQB).
Did anyone else receive this previously and Sky just now catching up?
Said some improvement to stability and performance, but nothing about security, so still vulnerable to the 'Bluetooth' exploit.
Only thing I've really noticed is that you can only choose one option now for 'one handed' Mode as opposed to 2 previously.
What month is the security patch? My SIM free from Samsung is on the August patch. It updated pretty much after initial set up.
August

Wifi dropping out since applying October KRACK patch

Hi all, my wifi struggles to connect for more than a few minutes since I applied the October patch. Samsung just want me to return it to a service centre and pay for a repair. I can't see anyway of contacting google about it. Is this a common issue? I don't have mesh.
Thanks.
