Hi G3-Fans,
does anyone of you (with Stock) has an Android security patch level later than 2016-02-01?
A few months back I heard that LG is releasing a google patch which closes over 100 bugs/issues. So far, the software update does not show anything new (neither OTA nor Support Tool). Is there a way to enforce the patch installation manually?
Many thanks in advance .

I updated my new Lineage OS device for the first time yesterday to the May 9th build and I had to redo my Tingle patch (which I use to prevent having to use Google crap on my phone).
I don't really care about new features (unless its a theming engine), so should I continue to update my phone weekly, or just check the release notes to see if any security patches are pushed?
If I hold off on updating, will it make it more difficult to get updates OTA in the future?
(I realize this is a major noob question, this is my first Android device.)

Can be more changes than just the android security patch level that affects security. I've seen stuff in change logs that indicates replacing the old built-in browser to some new webview based browser, encryption related changes and stuff.
If you don't have any serious issues you could use LOS Changelog or Lineage Downloader for downloading and review changelogs before updating. That could help with knowing if a new build is good for you or if you could skip it without losing out on important changes.

As anyone received an update to May's security patch? Even Samsung devices are more up to date, I thought by getting a Pixel this would be guaranteed... It seems there are issues with updates for this phone, I mean, pulling this device from the beta program, for the Android Q and no updates so far, strange...
Would like to see if anyone knows what could be causing this delay.
Yes we all know. June you'll get everything. Probably on the 3rd. It's been announced over and over. Google search for Pixel 3a security update shows this:
https://9to5google.com/2019/05/10/pixel-3a-security-patch-old/
You could have done that yourself in less time it took to post this.
Without waiting until June when they issue patches for this device, the only way to update your security level at this time is by manually flashing the Q beta from the full factory images (you can only do this if your device is bootloader-unlocked).
Otherwise, as the other user stated, updates will start in June, including Q beta OTA enrollment.
hey there,
is there a chance to update just the security patch?
just for my understanding and learning-
i always downloaded on sammobile the firmware and flashed the 4 parts.
all is fine but i always had to delete my not-wanted Samsung and Google apps again and again.
is there a way to update the security patch without changing these settings?
where is the security patch integrated?
any help for understanding?
a link to learn?
thanks in advance!
Hi, This machine arrived this morning and using the dialler (update mode) I managed to download the firmware using C432E135R1P135 and installed Google Play very easily.
Now the machine is running great and all apps work but I noticed the security patch is April 2020 with No updates?.
Anyone know how to find/install updates

Hi,
Just for info I used eRecovery and that found a later version 4.6gb, I then ran updates from the updates and it found three so I'm now on 11.0.0.168 with March 21 security patch.
Just to also confirm that my Google apps all work fine.

Hi and apologies for the newbie question, Im not very techinical but need some help/advice please. I have a Poco F3 bought new not long ago. Its Running :-
MIU Global 14.07.0 (TKHEUXM)
Andoird Version 13 TKQ1.220829.002
Android Security Update 2023-02-01
The issue I have is that lots of my work apps (Outlook, Teams mainly) wont run becuase security at work requires that I am on at least the March Android Security Update. However my phone doesnt see these update. I dont particularly want to have to buy a new phone (work wont pay for one!) as I only bought it recently. Do any of you kind people know of a way that I can update my version of Android or at least get a newer security update installed on my current phone please.
Thanks for reading and your time in advance.
Strange. Why would apps require you to have such recent of a system update? Most Android phones don't get updated quickly.
Are you sure of this? Where did you read that? Ideally please provide some screenshots to see
Edit: It is possible for you to get a newer security patch, but you'll have to unlock your phone's bootloader and flash a Custom OS on it, which will be too much work (and has caveats), just for getting apps to work.
Second and preferred option is to just wait for Xiaomi to release a system update with updated security patch, but I can't tell you how long they'll take

I heard xiaomi dropped support for poco f3 so it won't be getting updates anymore (not sure about security updates). If security updates are your main concern, i would suggest buying an iphone instead as its updates are pushed on every model no matter how old it is. Pixel phones get speedy updates as well. Also, I've used teams and outlook on old android versions myself. I dont see how it's possible for them to enforce a specific security patch. As the user above stated, a screenshot would be very helpful. Also i know its not my place to say this but if your company somehow made outlook and teams enforce security patches, they should sponsor an appropriate phone to their employees as well.
Disregard
Thanks for replying. The screenshot below is what I get when I try Outlook/Teams. Interesting I didnt realise support for the POCO F3 had stopped,, Its the android security update thats the issue. The org is attempting to pass cyberessentials and this is part of the aftermath of locking security on devices. The enforcment is being done by enrolling your device into a policy. If you dont enroll you cant access company data using your phone, if you do enroll then the policy kicks in and requires your device is compliant.

You can try asking your organisation to adjust their Microsoft Intune Enrollment Settings, to loosen Android Security Patch Requirement from March to February (your current security patch), or if they can somehow accept your device anyway.
I'm very sure Poco F3 will continue to get Security Patches for the timebeing, only the OS Update to Android 14 is uncertain. It will definitely still get the OS Update to Android 13.1 tho.
Yeah tried both asking for a bit of leniancy and exclusion but no luck. I hope you are right about the security patches, wish they were a bit more timely. It's so convenient to have access via mobile. It's tough luck for my boss and team though as I do a lot of stuff out of hours via phone which I won't do now unless I/they find a solution. I'm certainly not buying a new phone myself. I really appreciate all your replies and for those taking the time to read my query. Thank You.
