Hi guys, is it just me or is there something wrong with my unit?
This phone was bought from Dubai and now brought it here in the Philippines. I was wondering how samsung pushes it's monthly regional updates because right now I am currently stuck at BRE6 update with May 1st of security patch.
I am seeing lots of posts that they got the new update already while Im still clueless when will the update for me would come. Im starting to think of, maybe it is because the phone was moved from Dubai to Philippines? If not, please enlighten me.
Right now, what Im doing is go manual flashing all the time when an update is out. But downloading from sammobile is really sick because it limits my download speed really hard...
How about you? Do you manually flash updates through odin too or you get the update through OTA?
Regards.

Whatever you read about Samsung's monthly updates just isn't going to happen. I read that article that stated that they were committed to monthly updates but they haven't followed up on that. I've been getting my updates through OTA but have only had one since I purchased the phone and it's the June 1 2018 update.
I get USA OTA updates and mine is currently on August 1 security patch. I wish we would get more timely Android updates -- still on 8.0.0.
I received one OTA on Canadian firmware (g960w) but I quickly switched to 960u firmware since it's much faster for security.

When is my 10.5 T800 going to get the OTA of lollipop i need SD write and i dont want to flash or root, tried Kies today 21/04/15 and it says Kitkat is the latest for me.
Is there a Samsung list of who is getting what and when.
Thanks.
John.
Some countries have not irreal (?too strong?) customer protect rules, they are the firsts (Sweden, Norway, France, Holland). I think we will get totally same OTA.

Haha I only live a few miles away from you (Hebburn)
I check every day on a couple of sites.
Sammobile.com click on firmware
samsung.youmobile.org
A brother Geordie , thanks for the links, I really want to wait a couple of days after it is released to make sure it`s safe before i upgrade, I usually use a wifi app to transfer files to my 10.5 but cannot do it at the moment and i dont like plugging and un-plugging all the time.
EDIT: So France are currently get it, so hopefully it will not be long for the UK.
Thanks
John.
I downloaded the French version and installed using Odin. I live in the UK and I really don't know what Samsung's issue is with having a worldwide release that is a hell of a lot quicker than this . It's not like they are releasing 5.1 is it? This is probably the best Android tablet you can get at the minute and the support it is getting from Samsung is a travesty.
Has not v5.0.2 that is rolling out in France got the memory leak problem, and v5.1.1 has the leak fixed.

Before you talk about the memory leak, I'm pretty sure it's in the bootanimation. Samsung uses qmg in which in this article, and from my testing, appears to be no memory leak. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/android-5-0-lollipop-bootanimation-causes-memory-leak-how-fix-1488246

From the link above.
Does this mean Samsung phones/tabs are not affected.
John.
"I'm almost certain that other Android 5.0 Lollipop ROMs may have the same problem (except for Samsung's Touchwiz - Touchwiz uses qmg format and I was unable to reproduce this bug on Touchwiz)," states the developer.

Spain still waiting oficial OTA...
Not got it in the UK yet either, or at least I don't
This is my first and last Samsung device. I cannot understand how they can postpone Lollipop update to Unlocked devices with no Carrier related connections. Why in ^&*()^ half of Europe need to wait months for Lollipop and other half can already use it? Where is difference between (for example) Norway unlocked and Sweden Unlocked? And there is more - many carrier locked devices already has Lollipop. Usually unlocked devices get updates first. But in Samsung world it's all around. Other manufacturers divide their updates in "unlocked" and "carrier related". Samsung divides them in "I'm drunk and I want to mess everything up" :cyclops:
Hope everyone gets lollipop until the end of summer.
Sorry!
If you're European, just flash any European firmware through Odin.
The OS is the same. Only the freebies are different (extra apps, free six month of some services) as they may be tied to local market.
It's no harder than an OTA update.
If you must, you can flash your local firmware over the top later when it's out. Without loss of apps.
Upon moving from 4.4 to 5.0, a factory reset may be recommended. Opinions seem to differ on that and it may dependent on what apps you're using
Disclaimer: I haven't updated my 8.4... Was also waiting for my own local 5.0.2 and/or a bit of free time, whichever comes first... But on my old Galaxy Tab 1st gen, I installed American, Indian and Austrian firmware... It doesn't matter much.

You could say that the one's who get it last will have a newer version as it does get updated.
I'm in the UK and I flashed mine with the Taiwan version as the build date is April, for most it's March. Very easy to flash.
Kitkat work's great, with Lollipop I haven't noticed any performance benefit.
No UK
Not in the UK yet sadly
I dont think UK will get it for some time.
Time to install the french version :crying: :crying:
Hello,
Been waiting for update to Android 7.0 since the news been spread on XperiaBlog and XDA, but still no official release for 1299-6237 (HK Version). Hence, a question arise: Are there additional certifications that apply to HK ROM version that it takes so long for an update, or is there is another reason for it? Also, any idea when to expect the update then? Thanks for help in advance!

you can take the Indonesia or India version... since HK , the last update was .305 / oct2016 ... i am not sure why the stopped pushing for HK
Thanks for reply! I know I can manually flash it, but to be honest, with device like this I cannot be bothered (and frankly not many people do, as pretty much no development going on). I am more reliant on OTA or Companion updates as I do not want to lose my data. Hence it owuld be nice to know if someone would have an explanation for such nonsence really.
I was in the same boat as you. I bought my Z5p dual off of Amazon and received an HK version. I've been waiting for a Nougat update and could wait no longer. I updated using the russian update file and can confim that everything works and no bugs to report. Also no data was lost and my phone language remained in English post update. Should you change your mind...
But to contribute to your question, according to the Experia blog there appears to be a relatively big update coming in April to fix a couple of the Nougat issues with sound some users were reporting. That could be why they halted rollouts again.
Hi guys,
Not sure what's going on but I'm not getting any updates whatsoever. I tried checking manually but to no avail. I also tried downloading the Huawei HiSuite App, there are software updates under my model number but it's saying it's not approved. WTH's going on? Does anyone have info on this?
Thanks,

Its random it seems. I just got it yesterday. Someone else on this forum said they got it last week but their wife didnt get it until this week even though they bought their phones at the same time and live in the same location. So there is no pattern it seems when it comes to the rollout.

I did a little research and B101 builds are not getting anything at all. Our security patch is still Oct 2017. And other builds, though not getting updates at the same time, still managed to get something. I don't wanna root and go to that route but after Q1 and still no updates, I'll probably do it.
B102 same situation.. I think moderators should get all this topics in the same.. because they are everywhere in the forum
I have L24 US version of Honor 7X. It was stuck at firmware B101. Always said "No update". Customer support could not help. I had a ATT Mexico SIM in it. As soon as I changed the SIM to T-Mobile US, it found updates B130 and B140. So update depends on SIM.
I also bought another Honor 7X that had already B130 and put in Movistar Mexico SIM and it found right away update B140. So it may be that only B101 needs a US Sim to update.
I hope this helps other people who are still stuck at original firmware B101.
Same here....
Just Nitty grittyy...
bought my device from Alie Express, In the back of the phone it is written BND-AL10
But in the settings it says BND-L21
I updated to BND-L21xxxxB102XXX
but no updates after that...
in hisuite & firmware finder both app, there are updates for the device but it says not authorized for installation.
Any Idea?
Hi,
I have the same problem. My Phonemodel is BND-21. Also on the back. I bought my device from Amazon.de. The huawei- support says, that the phone is from Spain. I'm in Austria. Next week I will talk to the support again and ask why I don't get updates.
If I have some time I'll make a factory reset and check for updates.

I'm now seeing a fullOTA update thru firmware finder for Orea and it's approved for installation, however, it's saying download fail to me.
I'm getting fed up.
Hi everyone,
I am not sure if some of you had a similar issue, but I have not received any update for my A50 purchased in April 2019.
The phone was bought in Italy but I am based in the UK. It has never received an OTA update either over the UK network or over the ITA network. Also no update is available via Smart Switch.

I am aware that a number of updates were released this year, so I wanted to ask you guys if any of you had the same experience as me, and if there is a way to receive them on my unit.
Thanks all
Enzo
This is probably because of your device's original country does not receive the updates. The only real solution is install another firmware that has got updates.
I bought the device on March 25, the day of its launch in the Czech Republic. Since then, it has received six updates, mostly with major improvements in functionality. Updating the device firmware is therefore very important! In your case, I would try to install "Smart Switch" on my computer and update my phone with it. If you are unsuccessful, please contact Samsung support in your country.

I contacted Samsung support and they told me to wait, but it's November and I've never received a single update yet. Nothing on Smart Switch either.
Shall I look for manually flash a firmware? Do you have any experience with it in terms of future OTA updates?
Thanks again
i guess you could download rom from sammobile(official rom) and flash with odin. Just be careful to download PROPER version for your samsung model..
Hi. I have the AT&T LTE version of the tab s4, SM-T837A. I read that the android 10, One UI 2.1 update for my device went live a month ago, but I'm not receiving any updates. I'm on android 9, One UI 1.1. It says I'm up to date. Any ideas how I can get this update? Does anyone know a safe place I can download it from and do it manually? Sammobile doesn't seem to have it... At least, I can't find it.
If it matters, I don't have a SIM card currently installed on the tablet.
Thanks for your help.
-Dave
because your info is wrong. only the samsung stock versions got the update. all carriers are lagging behind as usual. still waiting for my Tmobile variant also. you can look on sammobile.com and browse the firmware database to confirm what i'm talking about. T837A didn't get the update yet. it;s still on 9
Yes I have the same question. I found only the wifi model is updated to Android 10. Has anyone on a carrier device flashed the wifi version?

No you can't, if the device is locked to the carrier...you have to wait update from your carrier ,if it gives the upgrade of course
Att issued the update a few weeks ago, and a smaller update hit my T837a today. It contains September security update and a new radio firmware. link to imgbb if the attachment doesn't work as I'm getting an NGINX error. I been here since 2007 never seen such before...

Still won't update
I have the AT&T version of the Tab S4 and it still shows I'm up to date, yet I'm still on the January 1, 2020 security patch does anyone know what to do?
I am in the same boat. AT&T Tab S4 will not update. Is there any way to manually flash? I don't see the update available to download
Complain to att. I pissed and moaned to online live chat support after the international version got it's update. Complained every couple of weeks until finally they asked for my imei, then a few weeks later I checked for updates and it did the 10 update.
