When I check for updates the tablet just says "Connecting to server..." and it never completes.
The tablet is connected to the internet. In fact I am typing this from the tablet right now.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions?
I have same problem last few days. I had many Samsung phones and tablets, never seen something like this

download samfirm or that new download tool - I think it is called FRIJA t - and use it to search for the latest firmware -in the device field, enter SM-T860 and then enter your CSC - if you are in the US - enter the letters xar as your CSC and it will find the most recent firmware (August Security Patch) and allow you to download it. Then use the latest patched odin to flash.
Hope this is helpful

I dont think its the tablet but Samsungs server, I downloaded the latest update last week but when I checked recently just to check, it takes a long time to connect to the server, after all if all internet and pages are loading right it has to be their server
Don't worry you won't be receiving many updates ?
Not agree. Tab s series has premium status in samsung lineup.
Only S and note phones are upper, all other lower.
Will be many updates. I expect at least every 3 months.

I disagree. The Galaxy Tab S3 is still getting updates. Things have really improved over the past several years

I agree, my tab tab s3 and tab s4 almost always get updates right around the same time my galaxy phones do.

Calm down. Just a bit of banter. The odd security update isn't what I mean. Updates will be rare on the s6 and they haven't improved that much . Be months before Android 10
Still can't get updates on the WiFi 256GB version. I am still running Security Patch August 1, 2019. Is there an update available and if so how can I get it?
I found that updates can be installed on the tablet using SmartSwitch.
For me (in Germany) it came as usual over the air.

I have same problem. Maybe because I flashed not my region sw with odin? Although it was never problem

I don't think so, I had installed the normal web update and then since then it never connects to the server when checking for updates.
Thanks, this is valuable information for me. So, you are always on home csc, and have this problem
Before today, it would fail to connect to the server. I just manually checked now and it's downloading an update. Tab S6 WiFi only US model.
Still no update here, disappointing to still be on the August security update....

Z981 for T-Mobile has a new update and it seems to fix some screen tearing issues. Update seems to add some stability too.
Any one else running this update?
Thoughts?
Just found out that you can unlock the bootloader with this update by tapping the build number 3 times.
Then developer options can be enabled.
Then OEM unlocking can be enabled.
What does this do for us guys?
It updated for me this morning, and I have yet to see much of a difference. Then again, I've been doing housework all day and haven't messed with the phone today.
Did some looking, the update was just the November security patch.
The bootloader unlock option was there before the recent update. You need to find the tmo folks on tinder and snuggle with them to get those tools to actually use that option.
Been 24hrs since I updated and have hammered device with no sight of the "Tetris stack" glitches. So on top of the security patch there must've been a kernel / graphic driver update.
good day.
The Metro variant just got an update too. Added a few features and included a few bug fixes. Haven't had time to really test drive it but it seems to be stabler, no screen bugs or data drops yet.
Edit: The Metro update also let us get into recovery now but nobody's had time to play with it much yet. So far we've got recovery, FTM mode, and safe mode, I think.

Yes the metro update actually fix my screen flicker. I tested minecraft that has screen flicker many many times while playing it. After the update, I played it again and no flickers so I am really happy about it.
AS for recovery, FTM mode, and safe mode - I had all those even before the update, actually.

Hi does anyone has the T-Mobile Update.zip?
For some reason I haven't received the update where I am right now for my T-Mobile variant. Can anyone upload the update.zip and share it? I look everywhere I could and people have only uploaded the MetroPCS versions. This is the version I need TMO_Z981V1.0.0B07 I'm already on the previous one. Thanks ?

The Metro update was uploaded there but I don't think anyone has uploaded the T-Mobile update. I think they both got pulled temporarily because while some phones with issues were working better, some other phones without issues were doing worse after updating.

Yes, that's what I thought after I read in one thread that MetroPCS pulled the update. Waiting a bit doesn't kills? Feels great to be back in XDA again. I usually use XDA for learning and reference, I only have a couple of post but been around for awhile.
My z981's mfg date was October 2016, T-Mobile variant, I picked it up December 10th, when I realised my Nexus 5 was unsalvageable. I assume the update was pulled, as I am on 0B04, one page on T-Mobile's site says the update was set for a staged release between the 21st of November through the 19th of December, another page doesn't even show this phone amongst their active or testing updates..
If I receive an update notification, I'll pull the file, but I probably won't flash it myself.

I just went into the settings and found the software update and bam there it was. It's a really stable update. And after disabling every app I could the phone runs like a dream.
Anyone try charging this phone with a Qualcomm Quick charger 3.0?

Nice. The update never showed up on my device. I may reset it just to see, but I'm not concerned. I replaced the launcher from the start, disabled a couple of apps, but the phone works well enough for me as is. I mostly read and listen to music, so nothing demanding.
Still, a nougat update with an unlocked bootloader/fastboot would be a great gift from ZTE lol.
[edit] I backed up my music and files, and reset the phone, still no update. I won't worry about it 'till people start receiving the 'next' update, or root is achieved and someone makes a custom kernel/rom.

I don't personally own one, the default charger works well enough for me so far, though the phone supposedly charges significantly faster while off. I haven't tested this myself, but if it turns out to be true, I'd assume the kernel limits charging, which wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
Can anyone load the update for me to download I cannot get my phone to update, doesn't show the option. TMO_Z981V1.0.0B07 is what I need

If I ever receive the update I'll pull it from the device and upload it to mega or Google drive. Not holding my breath, since it was probably put on hold for causing issues on some devices.
I shall greatly appreciate it if you can do it or anyone that updates and has the time to load it.

I wouldn't say stuck. Pretty much everyone is on that patch level AFAIK.
Samsung doesn't do monthly security patches. Last patch was sometimes in March with the Feb Update.
I forgot about that caveat when I gave my wife the P2XL and picked up a S9+
What the heck. Even my Wife's Note 8 is on the March patch!
I even have 2 Verizon S6's that were getting monthly security patches like clockwork. These are on April already. S6's are like 3 years old I think!
I'm still on the Feb patch.... I have the unlocked U1...
It's nuts!
Mine says last update was March 31.
1st April 2018 on mine.

I RMA'd a P2XL because of the display flashing. I got a good one and sold it & bought the S9+. I would keep the Pixel if I had it to do over again. The hardware is ok with the Samsung but I don't want the Samsung account, Bixby or any of their apps. I thought they had evolved into something I could use and even like but I was wrong. I'm going to try to live with it until the next Pixel comes out. I'm sure it will be a beast.

You don't really have to use Samsung account or bixby or any of the Samsung apps. you could simply not use them, or even disable them with a package disabler. I personally prefer to use some Samsung apps but it's completely possible to use the phone without having to use Samsung account or their apps.
Updates seem to be monthly for global variants; I am not sure some why US variants are lagging on updates. Maybe they are working on bringing android P on time for you guys when google announces it (stable/final); because usually that is when Samsung updates start getting delayed for flagships.

It amazes me that people complain about Samsung bloatware but don't about Google's. Maps, Drive, Duo, Hangouts, GMail, and so much more! I have yet to own an Android device where junk, including Google's wasn't needed to be removed! A few minutes on how to use ADB easily solves the bloat that user is unhappy with. The Bixby button is easily disabled, a Samsung account isn't needed (I don't have one), and hopefully Samsung will allow us to remap that useless button with Bixby disabled.
Updates every 3 to 4 months seems to be the common theme for most manufactures outside of Google. Updates are good but they can't make up for garbage hardware, like LG's display on the Pixel 2 XL. Flickering is the least important issue with those displays to be complaining about. Uniformity issues, which LG calls a "characteristic of the manufacturing process" and graininess are high up there. Even with Google giving LG tons of money just about every year, LG's mobile division still loses money and has for 11 years straight!
There might be little annoyances with Samsung's updates and implementation but those are easily changed. When it comes tot he hardware though, you really can't beat those Samsung OLED panels and the hardware to go with it.

Why is samsung delaying the one ui 2.5 when the fold 2 has it?there's not much difference between the two devices and 2.5 brings some great features but instead the s10 range get it even though our handset cost nearly £2000 surely we deserve priority service,if samsung expect to sell more premium products they need to give premium service as well as that premium price tag....
I fully agree with you and was also still wondering, why all other series 10 handsets received it and there is no update available for the Fold. But I guess they have already pushed a lot UI 2.5 changes to the current Fold UI like live the Pro video mode.
I agree aswel I got the phone 5g version in uk in Feb wed get updates between 20 to last day if the month while fold 4g the the updated beginning of the months then last 4 months we got beginning of month then last update was 10th September for security patch downloaded about 5am no update since

Firmware of an S10-sevice, one screen, is much easier than of the Galaxy Fold!
AS always it's a "staged roll-out", and will arrive at your device soon too(or if you've a Multi-CSC OXM device, you could flash the firmware yourself with Odin)

It'll come to your device soon too...
Do you know how firmware-updates work? With a major upgrade, it'll be first released to 1 (or a few) country. When there are no major bugs discovered, it'll be released to more countries!
As France (XEF) is the default CSC for Multi-CSC OXM, they're getting it first.
Flashing your Fold with Odin is as safe as flashing i.e. a Note20-device...
If you want OneUI 2.5 on your device right now: flash it; or wait till it's released in your country...

Of course i know how updates work,the work has been done already on the fold 2 so why the long wait for the fold 1?let's have the people who pay premium for their phones treated as premium customers, I expect to be served before someone whos paid half of what I have...so maybe samsung needs to get a move on and keep its premium customers happy...I shouldn't have to flash an update even if the phone wasn't nearly $2000...
This just come through today I did manually check for it
Oops would have helped if I included it lol
Just received the update
I'm currently holding the A526U1 bought unlocked and on Metro as a carrier - my CSC appears to be TMK. (Unrooted, though I probably don't need to specify that with that U1) As of right now I still haven't gotten the Android 12 update, though a friend with the A52 5G on T-Mobile has, and that was about a week ago. I sort of expected to get mine pretty soon afterwards, with Metro being owned by T-Mobile and all, but nope, not the case. Was wondering where everyone else in the US is on the update, both on the large carriers and the smaller ones. I'm curious as to whether we're "mostly there" or still just getting started on the rollout.
Actually, it says on the T-Mobile website that their latest update is 12. https://www.t-mobile.com/support/de...a52-5g/software-updates-samsung-galaxy-a52-5g - I haven't asked him what model number he has, but he otherwise has the A52 5G and lives in the northeastern US just like I do. So it's definitely here, but not on my model/CSC.
Ah, yeah! I provided the info about my particular model but really was curious about the full, wider net in the US; my bad not clarifying further on that part!

I also got the latest security patch just a few days ago.. I will say, there seems to be some glitches in this latest Android. For instance when typing sometimes the keyboard just disappears.. Plus the soft keys disappear and I can not exit back to the home screen.. This is mostly after watching videos online.. And a few times when I had the phone app open, I could not view recent calls or access my contacts, except opening up the contact app.

My friend on T-Mobile says he's gotten at least two follow-up patches after the main patch and was actually complaining about having to update so often, to which I said "dude you WANT those patches after a big OS update, they're cleaning up stuff that you're otherwise going to run into" - and I'd guess this is a good example of some of that stuff they haven't gotten to yet. I still have not received the new update, interestingly - I'm not sure whether Metro is being careful not to release a update that isn't quite finished baking or if my exact model isn't prioritized, but it would be nice to think that the version I end up with is a little more polished than the one you're having to deal with (boy figuring out quotes took me a hot second)
This is what I was talking about. The missing soft keys. They came back after swiping to take a screen shot

That's very weird. Okay Metro if you want to take your time making sure I don't gotta deal with that I'm cool honestly. Tho tbh this patch from Android 11 I'm on I have weird activity happen with Gboard - Gboard will try to activate but end up flashing open and then shut again, sometimes with what may be a real flash of noise on the screen that is hard for my eyes to actually detect. It's hard to predict when it will happen but it happens often enough! On the videos, not even scrolling back upwards makes the soft keys come back? (I ask because scrolling down in the gallery makes them disappear for me until I go up again)
Nope not even scrolling. I have let the screen time out then open again. Then the keys reappear.

I have the same exact model as you: A526U1, but I'm unlocked on AT&T. I too still do not have the Android 12/One UI 4 update. So it's definitely not a Metro thing that's holding up your update. I think they haven't updated it because not every carrier has finished testing it? Really not sure, but I'm super frustrated that other A52 5Gs got it here in the US but not the U1.
I do (and I assume you also do) have the January security patch.

I recently found that information that said that unlocked phones need to be tested on every carrier before being updated, and truthfully at this point seeing the bugs that they're still working through, I feel like that might come out as an advantage for us unlocked users? I'm not sure if it works the way I think it works but it's almost like everybody who isn't unlocked ends up beta testing for the unlocked users?
I do have the January security patch like you, but yeah, no big update yet. But I've contented myself with that on the logic above.
For anyone curious, I received the update last night for my unlocked A52 5G on Metro - so far I haven't noticed any bugs - in fact I think some minor issues I had seen with my display are gone? But there's still time lol. Hex theming is running successfully on it, as a sidenote
I actually got my update for Android 12 and One UI 4.0 a couple weeks ago and another security patch about a week later. From what I have read it has only been released for the A52 5G phones that are not carrier locked. Mine is the SM-A526U and I use with MetroPCS. So far I haven't had any issues with my updates and everything is working good. I did flash a custom GCAM 8.3 port from the new Google Pixel before the 12 update but both camera apps work pretty well with GCAM only having slightly better features. It does take some tinkering with as the ported app at first would take between 1-2 seconds to actually take the picture

Whenever i take out the Spen is saying that is disconnected (no air commands), than i need to put it again, manually click it to reconnect... After some time it happens again... I tried to reset Spen and turn on option 'stay connected' but no hope... I'm not the only one:

Ohh. I've never seen anyone complaining and didn't knew this issue exist. It looks like more hardware problem not software. Atleast for me

..yes, confirmed issue here as well, just like you described..
I did not notice any issue with S pen.. I ll try more to see if I can reproduce this issue.
The only issue I have since the Feb update, is the Wifi-calling. For a month it was flawless, but since the update it won't re-connect automatically in a low service zone, EVEN if I have ''wifi prefered'' set....
This issue drive me nuts, I had to change the provider, then it was fixed, now the phone itselft seems to break it...

UK still hasn't got the update
Aren't the update sizes weirdly small for such a new device? S22 Ultra's first updates were all starting from 1GB and up. I wonder why is it this small now, clearly they can't be security updates only right?

But isn't this weird though? The phone has now been out for months, this is it it's second update, and they still haven't released any improvement/bugfix/camera updates.

Actually they did fix shutter lag on camera with launch update. At least for me it's working flawless since that first update.

Shutter lag only happens on the secondary cameras or the main camera with higher resolutions.

No more shutter lag since that launch update for me.
