This is pretty ridiculous. I get pulling the update on April 14th due to the boot looping. But.... its June 1st and still nothing. Like June Security is gonna be out and were still sitting on launch software or March if ur phone didn't brick. Any guesses as to what the hell the holdup is? My theory is they discovered that everyone's phone is a software time bomb and any updates they are testing causes them to spazz out. And for anyone who's gonna say blah blah its how updates go...... I'm just seeing what some other theories are and letting others voice their opinions.

Same still no update.. Anyone has an idea if we are getting an update in the coming days? For ***** sake my note 8 is already on the may patch and so is my brothers galaxy s8! Interesting theory though, maybe its true lol.
i have to say 2 months after an update that was pulled,and no new update is a pretty douchy thing on a just released top shelf phone,oh well history repeats itself,hopefully something soon for us
Couldn't agree more. Love T-Mobile's responses to questions.
"We know how important software updates are to customers. We want to make sure ur running the most up to date software." Big FAT Lie lol.

What features?
Most likely wifi calling.
Possibly VoLTE.
Any carrier specific apps.

Wi-Fi calling for T-Mobile works fine on the Unlocked S9+
Some of the carrier specific stuff downloads when the SIM registers to the T-Mobile network. But you can download the rest of the apps if you want them from the Play Store.
You don't have all the bloat unless you choose to install it.

Any downsides? Does SamsungPay still work? That's a big one for me.
Samsung Pay works fine. I have no downsides. Though I have never used a branded T-Mobile phone since I have been on T-Mobile, so maybe I don't know what I am missing, if anything.
There isn't that much difference. I personally wouldn't do it. There unlocked version hasn't gotten any updates either and is still sitting at Feb 1 security patches.

So stupid. I contacted support and they said they had no timeline of any future updates. Canada got theirs today...
Seems that all the S8 line has been updated on tmobile with may if im not mistaken. What do you bet we get an update tomorrow for April lmao. But really this is really really strange.
My wife's s8 active got the may update tonight. This just seems back asswards that the newest is the last on the list.

Is the OTA update out for Bell yet. Im going to get my atrix soon and I don't want to update because then I won't have root. Unlike the american Atrix we don't have an SBF out yet.
So is the OTA update out yet. When do you think it will arrive?
I need to find out soon so I can get the atrix before the update comes.
no posts have stated that its out. but to cut to the chase, no its not out and there isn't an ETA or any statements that it is coming for bell.
So if you are asking because you don't want to buy one that is already update, then I wouldn't worry about it.

I have experienced no major problems with my Bell Canada Atrix. No random reboots, screen or wifi issues.
Its a good reliable phone!
I had my Atrix for more than 2weeks now. Got it from Kijiji. So far no word on the OTA update.
Also have no problems with the hardware. Purchased it, unlocked it, rooted and installed Launcher Pro.
A very sexy devil of a device.

Bell has actualy been doing a good job of getting timely updates out for their bigger phones (galaxy S before the US) hopefully they keep that up with motorola, in this case however it might be tough since motorola itself has a terrible record for canada
I think we might not get an update until later. It seems we already got some of the enhancements that they were getting on their update (ie detailed battery manager and screen turning off when charging).
This morning I realized that my phone had not received any OTAs yet, so I sideloaded the MDA89D to MDB08K zip (find it here) and then got the MDB08L OTA notification as soon as the phone booted up.
In talking with friends with a 6P and looking at other threads, there seem to be a lot of users that are still on the factory MDA89D build, so I'm wondering if the delay is carrier specific.
FWIW, I activated my 6P without a SIM card and then have been using it with T-Mobile. Checking available updates always showed nothing was available.
It seems like Verizon users are not getting OTAs yet, as expected from an existing thread. T-Mobile users *should* be getting one since they are turning Band 12 off with it.

OTA got nothing to do with carrier you are on.
Sent from my Nexus 6P
I did not receive the OTA, but I did flash the new factory image as soon as I unlocked the bootloader.
yes just received phone in the mail today after setting everything up I got the OTA update installed with no problem
I simply just change the date few weeks forward. I didn't receive both updates soon so I just fast forwarded date a little. Then updates pop up on both times. Should give it a try before going on a manual flash route.
Didn't have to do anything, it just arrived while I was updating my S5 to 5.1.1.
Was reading an article recently where a Google engineer explained how updates go.
1% get the update first, if no problems
25% get the update, if no problems
50% get the update, if no problems
Etc etc
No mention of a time frame between percentages though.
I got the device Friday, on k version, got the l update earlier today.
Expect to see them monthly as Google is releasing security updates on a monthly basis now.
Need one for carrier less. Updated before putting sim in.
Got an OTA this AM on Fi Sittin on MDB08L. I have an unlocked bootloader as well.
I got my 6P today and turned it on. As soon as I signed into my Google account it told me that I required a software update. Didn't even finish the setup wizard before it downloaded and installed.
I ordered through Project Fi as soon as I got my invite. They sent the sim with it and I put it in and turned it on. Boom, update.
Yep got one today.

Interesting method, if the updates are IMEI based as it is believed, this shouldn't work.

It's interesting to see that, so far, most voters who have not received an update are on another carrier (or carrier-less), or Verizon. I was interested in seeing what Sprint users are experiencing, but there has only been one Sprint user voting so far (a friend on Sprint has not received any).

Already flashed the update through mskip's toolkit. No wiping of data required though it flashes the whole ROM, not just the update (900mb).
I'm on AT&T. I got the first OTA when I turned the phone on for the first time, but where the hell is the November security patch? I thought it was supposed to start rolling out on November 1, yet it is November 10 and I still don't have it? What the hell Google? I understand a slow rollout of a major update, but security patches should be available to everyone on day 1, if not automatically, then sure as hell if they press the damn update button in settings. This is why companies don't take Google seriously when they talk about security.
I click "Check for Update" and nothing happens, says last time it was checked was November 30th. Tried rebooting, rebooting with no sim card . . . any ideas??
Just got one. Taking FOREVER to optimize apps. Painfully slow.
Just got my update through Telus in Canada. Installing right now.
just got 128gb 6P and got it activated on Sprint .. OTA about 15-20min after
Just checked and got the update available after a LONG wait and God knows how many checks.
Forgot to mention
Sorry forgot to mention it is just a shade over 1500 megabyte.
Yeah, since I'm not expecting root for us for a while, I went ahead and downlaoded it yesterday.
Exact size was 1505.68mb I believe.
Honestly kind of liked the old quick toggles better.
I'm happy we finally got the update and so far so good. I had hoped the long wait past the other US carriers meant 7.1 but I pretty much new that's all it was, hope. Miss the ability to go into settings with long press of the recents button. I'm watching the battery usage to see how it does for me as I have heard varying reports from great to horrible.
Whoo hoo, just got it too, look all 3 of us ATT G5 users, lol...
I'm with cricket, so i won't get the OTA. I was trying to check through LG Bridge but it keeps telling me "cannot check the sofware version." Anyone else have this issue?

I received the same error through the LG Bridge. I'm using an unlocked H820 on T-Mobile, so I cannot get the OTA either.

Yeah, I definitely think it does. I had read elsewhere that you have to have an active AT&T SIM card in the phone to get the update. That appears to be true. A coworker of mine is letting me use his AT&T SIM and now it's now downloading the update. I found that I had to check multiple times to get it to show. Since you can only check once per 24 hours, I manually changed the date to later in February and it worked with the AT&T SIM. It's still downloading, but it's 1.5GB so it has to be Nougat.
I'm outside the US, I tried the OTA and LG Bridge with my SIM unlocked H820. I can't really buy a new device since I don't have the money for it. I am incredible disappointed with this device and ATT. I will never buy from LG again.
Hey I have a G5 too! I'm excited to get home and Download this.
Mine started the update then said that the download failed... Now each time i try to check for a new update it tells me there are no updates available? Any suggestions to kick start the update?
LG G5 US AT&T here. Did the OTA update about 28 hrs ago now, and it went very smoothly. So far, I'm super pleased with the update. My phone feels faster and smoother all around, and while it's too early to tell for certain, it seems initially like batter life is noticeably improved.
I'm outside the US. Using an unlocked H820. I got an AT&T SIM card from a friend, tried updating and got a message saying my device is up to date (So no Nougat update yet). I did this with mobile data off while I was connected to Wifi. Don't have too much experience with this - Are there any specific things I need to take care of before trying to update or is it enough to just insert the SIM card and try updating? Thanks!
I'm happy we got "an update".
However, so far I'm skeptical of any battery life improvements. I suspect that Bluetooth drain is actually higher than before. And general standby drain may also be 2% or so higher...
How many cats have you all caught with the new "Easter egg?" Kinda lame, but funny too.
I don't have the fingerprint option now! Weird
I bought an unlocked h820 from b and h, when I chek for software updates it says that is up to date but im on marshmellow, what can I do?

Buy an AT&T SIM and activate it, that's the only way.
Can anyone enlighten me as regards to why Verizon have not updated this device?
Wish I could. Sprint is still on the February security update. Samsung just released the May update.
Yup, been on February since I got the phone. I have a Verizon model S9+. My wife's Verizon Note 8 is already on the May security patch.

This is very typical for Verizon and Samsung. We will be lucky to get the may patch before August or September. If we get it all.
Would be nice if the next update was to 8.1 though! Or even P. Im content with the device for now. I am not overly concerned about the security pathc.
AT&T S9+ variant here....
Also still on February patch. My wife has the Note 8 on AT&T, on the May patch.
Sprint has, in the past, been pretty good with security patches, running about 30 - 40 days behind Google. But it seems all the carriers have dropped the ball on this phone. Wonder what the issue is.
I just came over from an S8+ on Xfinity that was patched twice in one month.. kinda surprised this one is behind considering it's the new flagship phone...
Thank all of you for your input!
They had an issue around April update which caused a bootloop. It's not Verizon, or the carriers that are holding this one up but Samsung making sure it works. I update from sammobile now anyways. I know it's not what you want to hear but I understand why they would want to hold it. We would be crushing Samsung and the carrier if they released an update that caused a bootloop.

I've got an unlocked S23 Ultra, S918U1, currently running on Google Fi. Will probably be switching to US Mobile's Verizon plan soon tho. I'm wondering what my best options are for keeping the device updated. It's still on May but maybe too early to worry about the June update? But I can get a little impatient sometimes and I'm not sure how updates tend to go with MNVOs.
So I guess I'm wondering about: Smart Switch, changing CSC, and Odin. Any tips for keeping this device promptly updated?
Use Odin. Changing CSC shouldn't matter too much although it might cause problems if you don't wipe data. It's been a while since I've dealt with Samsung.
As far as getting ahold of the firmware in the first place I believe Frija is your best option, although I don't know whether Samsung makes their updates publicly available at the same time they push OTAs.

Just make sure that you pay attention to which CSC file you use. The HOME_CSC.tar is for an update preserving user data. The CSC.tar will wipe data.

If you bought it as an unlocked phone...and it isn't network (carrier) branded...you'll get the updates more quickly anyway.
The U1 version usually gets the updates about two weeks after Korea does...and only one week after we in Europe do.
FYI....if you device is unbranded...it doesn't matter what carrier your SIM is. The updates are independent of the carrier.

Oh, thanks for the information, I do have an unbranded US U1 model, so maybe I'll be able to just wait for the updates to come OTA. That would be the easiest of course.
