Software update fails to connect to server? - Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers

My latest update was installed on 22. August 2019 at 19:10.
Under "Download and install" it also states "last checked 22. August", if I click this button it will try to look for an update, but it stays like this for a good 5 minutes and in the notification panel it says "connecting to server" for the whole time. I don't know whether a new update is available for me and when it is if it will work then or if I'm not able to connect to the update server. I'm on the July release (Norway is always slow).
Anyone got any tips or insight? Also the camera still feels very lackluster even with the gcam apk. This is comparing it to my old S7 Edge. Was hoping the July update which stated it included camera and fingerprint improvements would better it considering the promising hardware. Either way it's not too big of an issue. The phone is still immensely good for me and I have a pretty decent DSLR anyway for taking photos. Battery is just delightful.

[Q] Increased battery drain after OTA upgrade to 2.29.405.2

I received this update 10 days ago, it downloaded and installed without problems and all installed applications and my settings/preferences have been maintained. That's the good news...
On the downside: I've searched on the web but can't find any release notes so I don't know where the improvements are. I found some tough, like faster switching from WiFi to one of my configured APNs and a slightly better screen response. But it would be good to know exactly what's in this update package.
Another drawback is that my battery only seems to last half as long as before the update, with exactly the same behaviour from my side. Google Maps is always loaded and running although I didn't configure it as such (and I can't stop it from pre-loading either).
Any other users out there with sililar (or other) experiences? Or anyone that has the changelist for this 2.29.405.2 version?
Thanks!

Huawei Watch 1 - Android Wear 2.9 update received!

Woke up to a pleasant surprise in the morning with an update to the 2.9 version.
The update purportedly incluudes:
New unread notification indicator (on by default)
ComplicationDrawable now handles permission
New Call back indicates if ComplicationDrawable completed loading images/icons
More on the update - https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/01/android-wear-sdk-and-emulator-update.html
Have not noticed and battery / perfomance changes / improvements yet.
I have still not recivied 2.9. Any idea when it might be rolled out?
I just got this too. Only thing I noticed is that when there is notifications, there is now a small notification indicator at the bottom of the home screen.

Since Watch 2 has received oreo update and our original Huawei watch didn't, it seems we'll need to install custom roms from now if we want to get updated. I hope someone is cooking a custom rom... maybe from watch 2 update.. :?

Is the new Wear OS available for the Huawei Watch?

same here, I wonder if we still get the 2018 security patches and Android 8.1
Guys, for the last time, we're not getting 8.1. This has been discussed ad nauseam, and it's been confirmed by both Huawei and Google (by omission) that we aren't getting it. So stop wondering. No more patches, no more system software updates. We'll still get Wear OS APP updates, but that's it.

Thanks. Mine is on that version as well. But is that the latest version of Android Wear? I was under the impression that the Watch 2 has a higher version.
I'm not sure where the appropriate place is to post this question.
I've got the Huawei watch (original).
At first it was connected to my HTC M8, but now I'm using it with my iPhone X.
I have installed Watch OS to my phone. When I open the App on the iPhone, it says "Update your Watch: To keep your watch features working properly and use new features, you need to update the apps on your watch".
I click on START on the phone,
The next message is Continue on your watch. I click OK.
The watch says No Wi-Fi found. Connect to Wi-Fi to use Play Store.
(Under SETTINGS > Network. the watch tells me it is connected to my home Wi-Fi; not sure why I get the message "no wi-fi found" when I can clearly see it's connected.)
If I keep at this long enough, I get twirling green circles on the watch, and then an error message. "ERROR RETRIEVING INFORMATION FROM SERVER [RH-01].
Then I'm back at the "retry" prompt.
------------------------------------------------------------
My first question is why does it say it isn't connected, when it just said it was connected.
My second question is how does anything know to connect to Google Play? I'm using an iPhone. Is it even possible to connect to Google Play from an iPhone?
My last question is whether I should just give up on all this, and buy an Apple Watch, which I did NOT want to do. I now have a Pebble Steel, and now this Huawei. I guess I can write the whole thing off as a bad experience and get a new watch, if this is now a dead end street.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
More information...
Watch is running Wear OS 2.0.0 169881869
Error [RH-01] apparently happens when trying to connect to Play Store
Next step will be to re-start the watch, but I'll wait until it has a full charge.
This is the page I am working with to try to fix it: support.google.com/wearos/answer/6321140
Does anyone know where we can download the file from to flash with TWRP?

I also received the new UI. Wear OS version bumped to 2.17.
the update arrived this morning on both my Watch 1 and 2 - both now have the new ui - Watch 1 still shows as Android Wear and not Wear OS - also no security updates so still March 2017 and October 2017
Finally my Huawei Watch is updated to latest Android Wear New Interface.

Nvidia has PAUSED OREO UPDATE for Shield TV!

Source: https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/05/31/nvidia-halts-shield-tvs-oreo-update-couple-issues/
Anyone that's on Oreo experiencing any issues?
I got the 7.0.1 update today. I'm in Toronto, Canada. Hopefully most all the bugs are fixed from the last release.

Someone have issue with Play next ?
He's empty and I can't add nothing or i don't really understand how it works
I joined the preview program a few weeks ago when they tried to do the initial release and got the Oreo update yesterday. Everything seems to be working great here. I actually like the new launcher over the old one considerably. Now I only have the apps I want on the main page and you can reorder the apps in the app drawer too. The YouTube channel sucks because you can't put your subscriptions on there or your watch later which should be an option. Most of the rest of them are perfectly fine.
Got it yesterday afternoon in the US
Still nothing for me in US.
has anybody successfully used magisk with this update yet?
Oreo update made everything laggy and unusable
7.0.2 Developer images are now available.
NVIDIA SHIELD ANDROID TV Developer Only OS Image New 7.0.2 2018/06/28
I was one of the people with "a few issues" I updated mine last night and now I can't get past the Android boot screen (the 4 animated circles). Waited for 2 hours. I'm hoping I can get it into fastboot and FDR it.
New upgrade is CRAP, stay away and save your work
I HATE this update. It's ugly, like a return to Windows 3.1. There are fewer choices for what and where I can locate things on the desktop. I get one bar where I can put MY stuff, but YouTube and other commercial crap get front and center. I bought the Nvidia Shield TV so why don't I get the right to the real estate?
To initiate a restart, you now have to go to About and drill down to accomplish that. Every addon now takes 2 clicks instead of the previous 1 click. I also get the silly Android circles stuck at boot-up and I have to pull the power cord out to restart to get to desktop. Terrible, terrible desktop layout and menu function is haphazard.
I'm so sorry to have let this one into my unit.
I'd highly recommend avoiding this like a plague, stripped the device of useful features and introduced dozens of bugs and eyesores. If you don't have the update, don't get it.
I have issues to with Oreo.
My shield dosen't turn of the TV via HDMI CEC.
Model 2015.
Im thinking of rolling back to previous version.

February update

Just checked for ****s and giggles and it was there (SIO).
I've done this update already.
Nothing new at all, just security patch.
FP sensor still not fixed.

Fixed as in what? The sensor is probably as good as it'll get, the A50S and A51 seem to have different hardware, so it works better. Always readd fingerprints after an update, also add 1 fingerprint with both thumbs, so it's more reliable.

Are you using a screen protector? To be honest my FP sensor doesn't have a problem since like the August update or so. And I never had to re-register my fingerprints again since then.
I got the update aswell, props to Samsung that was really quick security update..

A505FN - Czech Republic
After the last update with the security patch date of February 1, after the first reboot, the screen crashed, including a touch response. I eliminated this by restarting the device but I was struggling with the Internet connection. Whether I was connected via wifi or a SIM card, the screen was disconnected from the Internet and either restarting the card or the whole device helped. After several hours of experiments I found out that the culprit is the application "Blokada", after its removal everything works as it should. I do not know if the problem was caused by "tweaking" Samsung update or some art of Google security policy, in any case, until then a great ad blocking application had to unfortunately have gone from the phone .......

Thank you for your answer, of course I installed AdGuard instead of Blokada and everything works. Today I can no longer imagine using a computer or smartphone without blocking ads, there are more and more annoying and spying. However, I was extremely satisfied with Blokada until the February update, unfortunately she had to leave. We will see if the manufacturer of this application responds and will release a new version that will not suffer from this ailment.
Charging issue after ATA1 UPDATE (February)
Is anyone else experiencing this, I swear after the update took it off the charger one last time phone restarted then after that it wouldn't charge anymore. At this point, I'm blaming the forced OTA for the problem meanwhile I've resorted back to my reliable S5. Amazon & Samsung both said that they couldn't RMA the phone because I missed my January 31st window.
haha and you're reporting me and blocking me because of truth.
My phone charges slower after the update. 15w fast charge feels like 10 w, and when I disable fast charge it won't charge and give me prompt something like "use the original samsung adapter or check the cable"

EVR-AL00 - Version 10.1.0.135 just received via OTA

EVR-AL00 - Version 10.1.0.135 just received via OTA.
I will post if any issues.
Hi. Is this beta or real thing?
I just received the real thing too. No Celia Voice Assistant though. I'm AL00 CN version living in UK.
Nothing for me yet....
Yes received the update.... Did a hard reset and using it... 1.89gb update...
Battery Stand time increased well...
I feel Volume has been decreased.
New design, Always On display looks good... Still with this design... Battery Standby time is good !!
Still google feed is not working...
even after removing "com.huawei.intelligent" Home screen setting's are still showing as "HUAWEI Assistant - Today" and not allowing google feed.
anyone successfuly enabled google feed... let me know..
got it yesterday via OTA in israel , AL 100 , so far so good
Finally got it! Had to enable through a Huawei app I stumbled through...
I'm in the UK, unbranded EVR-N29 5G , build 10.0.0.194, with Vodafone sim.
I believe my model will update to 10.0.0.200 before updating to 10.1.0.xxx.
What was the last build you guys were on before this latest update?
Battery life improved
Can I check with you guys? Did anyone get the Celia Voice Assistant in the 10.1 update? I didn't. Battery life, especially standby has improved a lot. Also they've nerfed the split screen function. Before you could split screen with any app, now it's only from a list of 15!! ? But I do like the swipe feature to open the apps tab.
One other issue, the option to select resolution size for pictures in the camera has disappeared. Which is weird because it was there straight after the update but after rebooting phone, it disappeared.
Received via OTA in India on my Al00

Of course 200 as it is bridge without an security to flash to 10.1 if you would try to flash 10.1 on 194 or 195 it will fail because of the write protect..
