This is supposed to be an Android One phone. Last security update was near the end of February and is listed as the February 1 update. I love the phone but Nokia needs to do a better job of putting out timely updates. Has anyone who is on stock software received an update dated after February 1?

I don't know what there doing maybe there just going to wait until the April security patch because the last security update was late so maybe there going to start with April and keep up with it after that
I got the March update a couple of days ago. (eu)
Maybe there is something wrong with the rollout in your area?
Not sure how you got the March update. I went to Nokia's website and the last one posted is still February 2019. This is for the 6.1

Same here, got it late last week. It's not just a security update though, had some other changes as well.
Updating at the moment....
Updated here this morning.
Seems like app switching is MUCH smoother. Seems like it's not uncaching things so quickly. I like...
Just got updated to March 1 security patch in NA. It is a large OTA, a little over 500 MB, so more than just a security patch bump.
Mine is still killing background apps aggressively; not seeing any improvements to memory management or unbundling of the onerous task killer.
So far the only difference I've noticed is that instead of showing 4G in the status bar when connected to a 4G network, it now shows 4G with LTE to the right it oriented vertically. Thanks to T-Mobile and the other American telco's for calling HSPA+ "4G" 7 or 8 years ago instead of the 3.5G or so it was and continuing to confuse consumers with their marketing BS.

Looks like the international variant got an update for the phone already. It includes the August security fixes pushed by google, as well as performance improvements and a tweaked notification system to similar to Nougat.
How has T-mobile been with pushing updates to the S7/S7E? Are we going to see this update soon? At all?

It contained this awesome feature where all of your games run below 30fps... Pretty awesome.

I just want to know that how the security patches are released to the manufacturers, is it directly rolled out by Google? Does manufacturers (Nokia) modify the code according to the hardware and release it after that? I am on Oreo 8.1 May 1 patch and since this may patch there is a minor issues with the range of the WiFi and bluetooth. The range has drastically reduced. While the other connected device is well in range, my Nokia would fall short on the coverage and signal will lower. So who's at fault is it google or Nokia?
the update is launched by Nokia, but since Nokia uses almost pure Android, it is not much that the firmware must be modified. that's why the update is almost instantaneous when Google launches it.

Did any one revive the update?
i am in the MENA region and its 3rd of may and still no June patch
Waiting for the june update, hope the bugs will be squashed out in this next update, really love Nokia but these bugs are making people disappointed. Google should go through the check up process very carefully before the release as not only these devices as well as nexus devices are also affected resulting in different issue.

You mean 3rd June, not May?
You can't get the patch on 3rd when it is not released even for Pixel devices, Google releases it in about 6th for Pixels. Last month I got an update (for my Nokia 6.1) in the middle of the month, about 16th, what is I think totally normal.

Oh ya i meant 3rd of June , OK then waiting for it thanks a lot for clarifying this :good:
I've had this phone for around 3 months or so and haven't received a single update. I'm wondering if you any of you guys got any update at all?
I'm at Android Security Patch level: April 1, 2019
Kernel 4.14.83
Build PKQ1.181203.001
Software version: G820QM10a
I tried LG Bridge and the phone is recognized but when I try to check for update it says that it can't read my phones software version. It's really not a pressing issue but I'm just wondering what you guys have experienced
I have US unlocked for two months and I still haven't received any update. I have April's patch too.
Same here. If anyone ever DOES receive an update on their 820QM, please post to this thread.

Ok, now that's some good news. I have to say that I really love this phone and I don't have too many complaints besides slow updates and kind of wish the camera was a little better
Android 10 Hereeeee
Android 10 is here, for the Amazon version on February 24, 2020, the update has arrived, until now I have noticed a better fluidity and the camera has improved considerably! Everyone update!
Hi all
I've last June patch on Android 10
It's still buggy I'm wondering if xiaomi will bring this device in to a stable version or not
Otherwise I'll downgrade to pie
Any rumors on further updates?
Thanks
Stefano
Yes, you'll get another year of Google Security updates as due to Google Policy. Didn't you read the little pamphlet that came with your phone? 2 year software updates aka. 2 major android versions and 3 years of security updates.
This months was an extremely slow month for almost everything, even Windows update was late (they also have monthly security updates). Mi A2 launched it's July update 1 day ago, so we're most likely going to get that next week, but don't worry, it's not going to be August Update, it's still going to be July update... and that's just a speculation based on what happened until now. Same thing happened in April, march passed with no security update and bugfixes, and the "fixed" (or should I call it at list not bricking phones) version launched in early April (3-4 if I'm not wrong).
So yeah, don't worry, you'll get updates until next summer, just remember, it took them a lot of months to make 9 stable too, and I'm not saying that as an excuse for their update delivery, I'm just saying that this happened (not as worse) back in A9 era too.

Sorry to somewhat disappoint but I don't want to raise your hopes too much. There will be things that will be missing from this software like AptX, or like exFAT support and so on. Remember, the SD card issues that Pie had were only resolved when A10 came out... It won't be a perfect device at the end of it's life cycle but at least we can hope it'll work fine... They actually fixed some problems in the updates they gave us until now, but it's far from being a well polished system. All we can do is keep out hopes up, and hope that they took their time to actually fix the errors reported in the forums (xiaomi forum, where a mod says he reports user bugs himself).
Many of us have some personal and confidential info stored on our phones. Timely security updates are critical.
That said, has anyone gotten a security update for this phone? I haven't gotten one since I purchased it on the day it was released. I'm still on the August 1st 2020 security patch. I thought Motorola issue security patches every 2 months. I reached out to them on this but the person that I communicated with had no idea on when a security patch would be available for this phone.
I love the form factor of this phone but I think outdated security patches pose a huge risk.
I'm on se the September security update

Did you get a security update or did it come with the September security patch when you bought the phone?
Motorola also told me that the August security patch was the most up-to-date. Go figure.
To be honest, I'm not sure if there was an update when I started using the phone, or if it came that way. The phone is less than two weeks old.
No problem. Thanks for the update. I got my phone on October 2nd with the August security patch on it. No updates from Motorola since.

Did you receive any update, yet? Mine came with the August patch, and an update was available as soon as I got the basic settings dialed in. I'm on the September patch now, which is still pretty dated in comparison to my OP8Pro. No further updates, or news, as of now.
Nothing yet. Still waiting. I check almost daily.
you should have the october security update. The Retail US channel got that late in mid november (me on the 17th). I purchased directly from motorola and use t-mobile sim.
motorola does quarterly security updates it seems and when you get the update it'll be a month old.
Nothing yet. I wonder if T-Mobile is the holdup. I bought the phone from T-Mobile on release date. Perhaps Motorola released the update to T-Mobile but T-Mobile has not sent the update to my phone yet?
Motorola also said this phone will get the Android 11 update. If it's dependent upon T-mobile and if T-Mobile is the reason for the security patch delays, I'm not hopeful.
when you go to 'about phone' in settings, under 'software channel' does it say 'retail us' or something else?
If so, You could try this method:
turn the phone off, remove the sim. Connect to wifi and check for the update then.
In 'about phone' in settings, under 'software channel' it says "T-Mobile".
yea...you have to yell at t-mobile then. they're in control of your updates.
edit:
you could try and use the motorola firmware flashing tool to flash https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/smith/official/TMO/
if yours is a lower version than that (you can verify in the about phone page under firmware version)
But firmware flashing that way vs ota usually means wiping the phone when it's being done.
Finally, I got an update today...
it looks like t-mobile just pushed that firmware out (if you go by the time stamp on the link i posted). So the phone is not delayed in seeing updates, t-mobile is just super slow at pushing them out.
though, they could have a different offset for their quarterly security updates than motorolla, as they're not much slower than motorolla (2 months vs 1.5 months). Considering you got November 1st's patch at the end of december and I got october 1st's patch in mid november.
I expect the next update we see for this device will be sometime in late february. Probably not going to see the OS update until mid next year.
Yep. I finally got it yesterday.
Wow. I went from zero updates in almost 3 months to two updates in just over 3 weeks. I was on the August security patch all the way until December 28th when I finally got the October security patch. Now, just a little over 3 weeks later, I got the December security patch today...
I feel a lot better about the phone now.
