Hey guys
my Samsung Galaxy S7 edge got the security patch, which fixes the vulnerability to "BlueBorne" this week. I still feel unsafe to use my watch, because it did not get any Patch since December 2016...
Does anyone know if the SW3 is vulnerable to the "BlueBorne" security breach?
Thanks in advance!
i plus one this for sanity issues lol
Theoretically any devices older than Sept 2017 Android Security Patch will be vulnerable.

Hi all..
I've just bought a Nokia 7Plus and love it's updates cycle among many other things.
But now I feel I should have waited for OP6 ( my earlier phone had broken in April and thought OP6 would come after June end).
Just one question-
How is the security updates cycle of OnePlus?
Do they make you wait like Honor and HTC or are they better?
Thanks
Up to op5t (and disregarding the current state of the op3/t), they've made you wait up to 2 months or so for a new security patch.
Now, on the stable branch, the op3 hasn't been updated in 4 months, while on the beta branch it's on last month's security patch. The op5/t both are on last month's security patch on both the stable and beta branch.
It's up to anybody's guess whether they'll take better care with the op6, but Google would like to make the companies which sell treble enabled phones and have Android P available on them to keep up with the security updates.
I hope this cleared up any question you had.

I really prefer a "smaller phone" and am leaning toward the Xperia XZ2 Compact. Could someone please report on how frequently Sony releases Android security updates for this phone, and how current they are? My current Motorola gets a security update every couple of months, but it's always two months behind. (i.e. toward the beginning of November, they released security updates as of Sept 1.)
Thanks
Since i have the xz2c, Sony released every month an update with latest android security patch level.
if you are looking for security updates Sony is your first choice, only pixel phones are faster
I buy for our company only Nokia devices as Android One is for me the single most important feature! The devices are cheap and overall ok. Everything was smooth, until now.
We used Nokia 3.1 in the past until now as they ran out of production and they get kinda old, so I bought now the first 3.2 devices and I noticed, that the newest security update is only April 2019!
I tried multiple ways to force and update, which didn't work, and even had an hour long chat with the support telling me that for this build 00EEA_1_03D is really the latest update April 2019 and he cannot help me at all.
How can this be as Android One should always have the latest version of security updates?
We bought the devices on amazon.de where someone else also stated that he was stuck on April 2019.
So does anyelse have issues or experience with stuck or non-monthly-updates for the 3.2?
The same issue here, I have a brand new TA-1164 (EU, 3 GB RAM, 32 GB storage) model and it is stuck on July 2019 update. There are more reports of this issue in Reddit Nokia forum.
The official Nokia support also told me this model has compass sensor which is not true. Unfortunately you can't get any good support these days
And there are similar reports for Nokia 4.2. The Android One program is just another Google joke as the whole platform is crap when it comes to security and support.
There is a long discussion about it https://community.phones.nokia.com/...te-and-it-is-stuck-with-build-00eea-1-03d-why
Has anyone resolved the issue? Nokia support is unable to help. It seems as the 00EEA_ firmware family is completely unsupported.
I've just received 2019-08 update, still outdated. You have to recheck for new update again after the restart, it downloads 2019-09 right now.

Anyone experiencing this, wanted your guys opinions!
Hum ... so, my N9750 is after the march update charging as before ... no difference
Exonys version here SM-N975F. I'm facing the same problem.
fast charging failure
Exonys version here SM-N975F. I'm facing the same problem in my note 10+.
April security patch seems to have fixed this for me
My exynos 975F charges as well as before the march update
The september security patch is out for the Note 8, 9, 10 and 20 and also for S9, S10 and for alot of midrange phones like A21 and A50,51 and A70, A71 etc.. , All of these received it. And the S20 series (at least the exynos model) hasn't yet.
It makes no sense for them to release the september patch for all these devices but not for their latest S series phones which used to be the first in the line to receive these updates.
I think i heared that the SD model received it a week ago, but the exynos didnt yet, I wonder what's the reason behind this.
Could it be that the september patch will bring some improvements or something? Is it because of something related to OneUI 3 or the beta? i dont know, what do you think?
I was asking the same question today when I saw my kid's S9 receiving the September security patch but my S20+ still nothing....
What's going on Samsung????
I hope Samsung gives us aBIG BIG SURPRISE...
HOPE HOPE HOPE...
S20 G981W (snapdragon) no September sec update yet either, unlocked Canadian (Bell) device
i think is because they released the one ui 2.5 on august 29th - they need time to have this big update settle before they can push the September in case there are any bugs to fix
