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.

My Verizon S6's always got the security patches pretty timely and my Wife's Note 8 has been getting them like clockwork as well.
Well, I have to eat my words. I just got the May Security Patch update on my Verizon S9+
Thats pretty good!
I just got the new security patch. Does anyone know what they add besides security?

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.

Oh, I couldn't care less about WiFi calling but VoLTE is a must. I though that was a standard feature. Bummer...
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.

when will there gonna be a one ui update available for galaxy s9 plus AT&T
Honestly it's when AT&T approves the update. You can try this trick from SamMobile and see if it works, I can't get it to work because I need to wait for Samsung to push the update. Given at least 2 of the other major players (sprint, Verizon) have issued the update, I can't imagine it taking AT&T much longer.
I got the Pie update yesterday on my AT&T S9+. I'm in Central Florida, by the way if it matters.

Did anyone found a firmware for g965usqs3arg8 one ui update
Got the February security patch this morning. Hair under 200 megs. Unlocked S10e, T-Mobile.
Does gesture navigation work on 3rd party laincher with feb security update?
Hopefully when AT&T pushes out the February update, the darn bugs will be fixed. I am sick of my keyboard just disappearing to the bottom of the screen at random times and the "in the pocket unlock bug" which appears on the lock screen because my phone somehow thinks it was in my pocket when it wasn't.
What's the name of the February update? BTA2?
G973FXXU4BTA8 available for region AUT (OXM).
Downloading right now via SamFirm.

SQ1D.211205.017 for the US carriers SQ1D.211205.016.A1 (Canada and TW) SQ1D.211205.016.A4 (EMEA carriers)

It's the same update weather you manually flash it or received over the air right? It did T-Mobile include something in the ota?
So I flashed the ota update manually. I just checked T-Mobiles update page and it says this. Did I flash the wrong one? I did .17 . I won't be able to take updates ota now?

I keep refreshing to see the update and there's nothing.
No update on mine yet.
I think they're going to skip December all together..
Januarys update will have its planned fixes along side the fixes to correct the maligned December update.
Edit: I didn't realize that 017 was a later update after 016 broke the radio + more. So is SQ1D.211205.017 working now?

I'm with you. There were other issues besides broken radio.. wifi calling and auto-brightness were both reported broken. I think best idea is to give Google more time to sort their problems out.
Hi I think I asked this question before and I can't remember if I got an answer I can't find it in searching so here it is. I own a pixel 6 which is now my wife's and it is from the Google store on Verizon network. I also now have a 6 pro that is Verizon branded so locked bootloader. My question are the ota different for Verizon I know some are but can I use the Verizon build on my wife's pixel 6 or does it have to be the global version? The reason I ask is because last week I put the global version on my pixel 6 pro and it worked fine well I mean the device was usable but now today I see i got an update for 7 mb and googling has 5old me that Verizon is only just now releasing 5he update. So while it still works it's missing something. I was just wondering if I should update my wife's pixel with the Verizon build also?
I think the answer is different every month. Sometimes they just have a global update, sometimes they are carrier specific. Google posts this info here:

I really don't think it matters. But why did you install the global version? Didn't the Vzw version come out at the same time? Nonetheless, take the small update and you should be fine. Is everything working ok? Many people have done what you did and I've yet to see anyone having problems that installing the other version caused. Worst scenario you'll reinstall the labeled update. Just make sure you tick the OEM switch in case.

The Verizon specific updates contain radio frequency changes that are specific to Verizon. Those changes have not yet been approved by other carriers, which is why they are specific to Verizon. In most cases, the next global monthly update includes the Verizon specific changes, so if you take the following global update you will also get the Verizon updates. You can take this months Verizon update to get the latest radio frequencies, or wait until next month's global update. It probably makes no difference which option you choose.

Oh I see so you didn't wait for the OTA but sideloaded it. If there is a Vzw specific one they've said before something like "for all except VZW devices" and then you were forced to wait. I think the small OTA you received would update the general build to the Verizon specific one but I could be wrong, I just don't know and it's hard to find the definitive answer. As stated above, I don't think you need to worry if everything is working. Take the OTA and forget about it.
I installed the October update!
New features and bug fixes.
Super smooth sailing from here on out.
