Good day. My galaxy A505F Turkey region has never recieved OTA updates. Still on march software yet other regions regularly receive updates. I have never tampered with my phone. I bought it officially brand new boxed. May Someone informed help or explain the cause of the lack of support for my device, and if or how I can fix it. Good day.

According to sammobile, countries from Germany to Malaysia had received the 4.2.2 update, the earliest from August. Why do France still not received the update? Is it that hard to release it there?

Same thing here in Canada. I know that Samsung has a reputation of being slow releasing updates but in this situation the update has been released in other regions for weeks so why the hold up?

Because you have a branded phone and your carrier releases the updates later than c432 which is stock no branded. Also the build number may differ from stock c432.

My phone is not branded and was purchased SIM free from the carphone warehouse in the UK.
Not on contract and no branding so that's not the reason.

you can rebrand your device to another region code. Search for "rebrand [device name]. This is dangerous territory so be sure you really know what you do unless you wanna have a very pretty paper weight.
New 163 firmware has appeared on Firmware Finder for those interested.
C782 still on .120
All updates for C782 go through operator approval even if you have bought a SIM free device from Carphone Warehouse. This process takes a long time and if one network rejects the update then will cause further delays.

What has it got to do with whatevef network your on? I have a sim free phone and can use multiple sims.
Are you effectively saying that no networks in the UK have approved the update for their devices and as such everyone is being delayed even though your device is not restricted by carrier bloatware and settings

Correct. C782 is a UK specific firmware that comes on all carrier provided handsets and through retailers like Carphone Warehouse. Huawei no longer provide carrier specific firmware.
C432 EU firmware does not go through any carrier approval, so updates are rolled out quicker. UK updates are provided by Huawei but they have to be approved by the major carriers. Three, Vodafone, EE, O2. Only when they approve firmware will Huawei make it available.
This is why the UK is still on B120 with B150 (build 3rd August) is pending approval. EU meanwhile has seen 3 major updates since B120.
If you have a bootloader unlock code, it's well worth changing your device to C432 so you can get updates quicker, and get away from the BS that plagues the UK update process.

Thanks for the full reply. I never thought that would be the case. I assumed I had purchased a completely 'clean' phone as such and would not have the update issue. In fairness the phone has been performing great but I don't like being left out of all the update goodness that comes along.
Does the c432 latest updates bring much in the way of improvements to the phone and would be worth changing over too?
Hi!
Is Nov update out for unlocked S9?
Planning to purchase S9 from Samsung, but trying to find out if unlocked unit really gets updates quicker than T-Mobile variant. I usually buy unlocked models, but sometimes T-Mobile updates carrier branded Galaxy phones with some specific fixes. In other words I just want to make sure that T-Mobile device and unlocked S9 will perform the same on T-Mobile network and support all features including Band 71
Any one?

You can buy unlocked and flash T-Mobile G960U firmware. You'll get updates faster with all the specific fixes (unlocked updates are quite slower unfortunately).

The wording of your title is completely different than your question. Yes they did send out a November 1 update coupled with the Pie beta. That answers your title question but I don't have an answer for your post. Maybe the question is getting looked over because of that.

LOL, just busting your chops. The only mention of the Nov 1 security update I've seen is in connection with the Pie beta though.
I just checked and the update is G960U1ES3ARJ6 security patch Nov 1. It seems like they are having a lot of updates but it could be because I was use to my Moto X Pure that didn't get any updates.
My Samsung unlocked GS9 for Verizon received an update today.

I have an unmodified unlocked S9 bought from Samsung G960U1 and used on T-Mobile. I received the October security patches sent OTA in early November. In fact I seem to recall I got the September patches in early October, and the August patches in September. Which is why I now expect my security patches to be "one month behind."

Hmm, so your model is just an unlocked unit which gets updates straight from Samsung. I wonder is T-Mobile is any better... As another user suggested earlier, I could possibly flash the phone with T-Mobile firmware and get updates from the carrier(if it is better with updates)

Samsung Nov Security Update
I have a Samsung Galaxy S8+ and I received an update yesterday; November security patch.
Hi
I’ve been having a discussion with Samsung over the lack of security updates for the A5 2017 (SM-A520F). They claimed on purchase the phone would receive security updates until 2020. One update released this year from them in NZ. Does anyone know how many security updates the phone has had released in other countries this year?

At least two for the a520W, which is Canadian.

Ok.
Had my S10+ Since last April and i am on March 2020 security updates Received an update every month amd Optus are useless at timely updates. The Huawei Mate 20pro didnt receive an update for 5 months after release with Optus.
So i am unsure what your update issue is, but i doubt it is Samsung.
I think he means Samsung has too many phones.
