Software Update N910VVRU2CQL1; What does it fix?

Last night my stock Verizon Galaxy Note 4 received software update N910VVRU2CQL1. Does anyone know what this update fixes or changes? I cannot find a description of this software update anywhere.

I found the answer to my question:
Verizon just posted that
Software Version: MMB29M.N910VVRU2CQL1
Android® Security Patch Level: 2017-08-01, including Blueborne and Krack security patches
The current software update gives you the most up to date Android security patches on your device.
( See https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-note-4-update/ )
Hopefully we will soon receive the Meltdown and Spectre security patches. It would be so nice if Verizon/Samsung would post an ETA for these kinds of critical security patches..

With the note 4 being as old as it is, I'd say we are pretty fortunate to even get the patches that just ota.

There should have been a little Link in the notice for the update and if you clicked on it you would have had a full report on your firmware update.
You should always look a little closer and get your information first. Before updating Anything if you choose to empower Control of your device!
I've had these note for since day one I still have two of them one new in the box..
Just Sayin....

And, as I said at the time, there was no description of the software update provided anywhere. That's why I made the original post (should be obvious to anyone). Perhaps you should read posts a little closer before making snarky replies (nearly a year after the fact I might add).

March update???

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.

Android 10 will be supported anymore?

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).

Security updates?

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.

Question Any word on the ETA for the March OTA update?

Hi gang, long time, no chat! Amazing what happens when Google finally gets their act together with the P6Ps, isn't it?
The last I heard @ 9to5google.com is that it was late. Nothing beyond that, though. Thank you!

Well, Pixel updates were always released on Mondays. So maybe next Monday? Or even a Monday after that.

March Update postponed indefinitely

Google are getting so slow for updates and they barely have any phones lol, whilst Samsung have pushed out 2 massive updates by the time Google has pushed out 1, I also find it strange that pixels software are the bare minimum and have worse battery life

I don't think anyone really knows when it will be released. Interestingly, the A14 DP2 build that was released yesterday had the March security update in it.

HMMMM....
I count 15 updates and one major version upgrade since the initial release of the P6P since October 2021

I've found that Google's updates have drastically improved battery life for my P6P, but it still doesn't compare to the battery life I used to have with my LG several years ago. And I think we all can remember how bad LG was, with releasing updates. I just thought that perhaps I missed some insider news for the delay, and you are so wonderful with these phones.

You have completly missed out on what I've just mentioned on that last post lmao, it's great that you can count but unfortunately you can't read well, ("" by the time "")
EDIT - to dumb it for you, I'm speaking about this year only, if you need it dumbed down further then give me a shout, thanks.

You remind me of my ex - she thought that I had a crystal ball and could read her mind. I can give you her coordinates - the two of you would get along just great

All pixel phones have march update ota by now, just not pixel 6
Google really starts to look like fools, when samsung starts to be faster with android updates than google, and delays

Would you rather a fast update or one riddled with phone killing bugs?it's not like they sat down one day and said "i know let's make users mad and not release an update".

Google are doing fine with slow updates with lots of bugs, just look at the pixel 6 and 7 update history, software/hardware bugs are all over the place.

7 Pro update went online today. I guess ours will come soon then.

its out for all but not for P6/P6P

Maybe that could be due to them refining the new Night Sight algorithm used in the smartphone

What are you talking about?

My bad, if I switch the language of the webpage to German, the march updates are gone

Google said the March P6 fam update has been delayed til the 20th because they're adding 5G connectivity and having issues with India's configuration so to speak.
