Is there an updated firmware for your device? Have a look an Sammobile. If so, flash it.

It's crazy, my Wife's Note 8 got the May patch already. My S6 has April and my S9+ has February, WTH?
Maybe they're cooking up a big update or something and it's taking time.

The absolute worst part of owning a Samsung phone is the horrible firmware update process. They just plain don't give a crap after they have sold you the $1000 device!!
Even China ZTE is better!!!

I have the may 1st security patch. I purchased the unlocked model through Samsung and then flashed the T-Mobile firmware. I've been getting updates from T-mobile's server. I would check Samsung firmware science and flash the latest update available.

LG G5 Slow updates?

Has LG always been slow to provide updates? My T-Mobile is still on May 1st Security Patch.

A lot of it depends on the carrier. LG has generally been one of the first in line with updates these last couple of years. You should be happy T-Mobile isn't rushing out buggy software like AT&T. As of now I (and many others) think we were better off with the May edition software.
I guess that's true. I was upset it took them forever to release Marshmallow to my Tab S2 but no issues with it.

Isn't a tab s2 a samsung? Samsung are one of the slowest to update devices.
I do think the U.S get a raw deal with updates. Mine is on 1st June security patch I think or maybe 1st July, it's in for repair right now so not 100%.
Tab s2 is a Samsung but just saying how long T-Mobile took to roll out the update.
If autoprime did not release the v10e I would still be on c. I think it is unacceptable, have already complained at LG Netherlands and Vodafone Netherlands. Although both have responded quite quickly in the end the release speed sucks compared to other providers/brands

Huawei & updates?

Anyone know if Huawei are any good with updates, will we get Android 8.1 or is that just wishful thinking?
They used to be very bad but now with project treble it's actually quite fast with the security patch and stuff, I have the January security patch on my Mediapad M3, Mate 9 and 10 as well as android 8 on both of my mates

You all should rebrand. I bought this mate 10 original (C636) said international..
I got two updates in less than a month of purchasing the phone. Huawei is faster than HTC 10 unlocked and way faster than Sony and Samsung ever was for me.
Ps. there's a thread for updates already, you know where..

No one really should have to do that, Huawei stated back end of last year that they will be pushing updates faster which is really not true. I am still on November security patch in the UK also. I bought Mate 9 and Mate 10 Pro only because I don't want to worry about battery When I leave home and it does give me insane battery life. However with the rise of security breaches, malware, adware and more having a secure phone is now becoming a priority than having long battery and as such I will be only using Google phones going forward.

Wow.. weird.. lol I stuck my Bell sim in and was actually surprised they gave me the APN settings but thats all.
That "three" sim sounds like bs. I'd be switching my provider.

Just got Mate 10 Lite, why is there no OTA Oreo update for RNE-L21.
I see news article from months ago saying Oreo update started. Any way i can force update or something without rooting or unlocking bootloader?
Not bad at delivering updates.

I have received the following updates in this exact order.
127 on December the 15th 2017
129 on 3rd of February 2018
137 on the 20th of April 2018
142 on the 7th of June 2018
145 on the 14th of July 2018
148 on the 28th of August 2018
150 on the 4th of September 2018
So all in all not bad to be honest...
P.S. I have screenshots if you want proof
But the biggest wait now is the android 9.... I am curious if we are going to get it before the end of the year...
Edit: I've spelled bad as bat corrected now.

We will. Though I believe it will come a while after mate 20 launch since they will want to promote new features. They would hurt themselves by showing customers "hey, we just released a big update for our old , now cheaper phone which brings newest os and tons of new features".

I believe L29 models will get updates fast. I'm in the U.S. and have both L09 (mine) and L29 (mom's) models and the L29 has been receiving updates periodically while the L09 just received 8.0.0.123. The L29 now has Face ID unlock and the L09, according to the Huawei rep, has no plan for that feature for the U.S. version in the meantime. Lesson learned. Buy the international version.

Impressed by the frequency of updates on this model

I've received updates regularly on my N950F(xxU3CRF4 - 2 a month for the last few months and it seems Samsung has finally got their act together. Maybe because of the need to mitigate vulnerabilities and security issues. Today received VO LTE and the lockscreen movies update. Wish they would make their update notes a bit more meaningful though and explain what it includes than the generic "stability improvements".
Samsung gets a bad rap sometimes for updates but well done Sammy.
Well, not all the countries receive so many updates, I think that it is carrier and country dependant in most cases, in my country 2 carriers have received only 4 updates since Aug 2017, other carriers only 3

You're speaking of CRF4? I'm waiting for people to comment on it before I update. I'm scared that the Note will get buggy.
Not experienced any problems yet.

Yup I've noticed much better update frequencies on my N950F (UAE model, in Canada) than before with my old Note 4. So far I received an update every month here, and two in June.
Still on may security update lol. Samsung doesn't deserve any praise

[Question] SM-G965F No OTA updates since June

Hi, is there any way to check if there's a firm update for my S9+?
I have been receiving updates every month as it's supposed to until June, after that others received July and some even August and mine it's still stuck in June.
Any idea where to check or how to resolve this?
Thanks,

1. It depends on region, not every region will receive the update at the same times.
2. Use Odin to flash other regions firmware to the newest version, this will not replace the region.

Same situation here. INTL version S9+. No updates since June's Patch. I've been traveling for a month now (from Europe to US to Central America) but the phone is "stuck" there. Compulsively checking for an update is not working...
EDIT: Is there a place to find OTAs to sideload? Couldn't find any. Thanks

Question POLL | I'm I the only one still on Security Patch Level: January 2023?

My S23 Ultra (European EUX OXM) hasn't been updated with the February 2023 Security Patch Level. I'm on S918BXXU1AWA6.
Though, I recently updated my S21 Ultra (AUT) and strangely it's more updated than my S23 Ultra .
2023-02-15 | 12:30 (CET)
EDIT: Added a poll in order see when the February Patch will be released.
No. You're not the only one
Sane for me too and my wife's 23+
they probably will releases an update before/on the official launch day (Friday 17th)

I'd love to see that.

No one will be on the February release....apart from beta testers....until the release date.

After installing apk, force stop of Play store apk, Play Services apk, and delete both cache, then reboot. You should have the feb one.

I think you do not know, but there is quite major difference between google play and security patch.
Yeah I think it'll be tomorrow ah about 9ish, that's what happened last year anyway
Anyway, incredible that this device is so good with pre release firmware.
Imagine if with time they will further improve camera and battery life

You are right, my mistake
Samsung is a lot better with updates. The only reason you wouldn't get an update on time is if there's a bad bug that requires fixing and the update got pulled. Also South Korea obviously gets updates first followed by Europe. USA gets updates anywhere from 3-5 days to 1-2 weeks after Europe does. From my experience on previous Galaxy's it was always about 1 week after updates went out in Europe for my USA Galaxy to get updated.

I wish I could agree, but where I am, the security updates have been sporadic at best, last one in S21ULTRA was the January sec patch delivered February 21. More often than not in 2022 two security updates were delivered at the same time, almost 3 months later than the Pixel.
Oh I was confused glad I'm not the only one.

where are you from? I guess it also depends on your country since there may be special circumstances, specific carriers or government approval, ect. that is delaying your update since once Samsung sends out updates in S. Korea their should be no reason why you are not getting the update unless your country or your specific carrier is holding it back. It used to be really bad here in the USA but the last 3 years I have seen a huge improvement in the update schedule for Samsung devices.
my s23 ultra security patch Jan 2023.
Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G security patch Feb 2023.
no day one patch so far with the security patch for february
I think they decided the phone is perfect already, **** the updates
Yeah, just checked for new OTA software updates.
Also checked on Sammobile Firmware.
No luck
