Hell Froze Over, UK Update Available.

Never thought i would see the day.

Its patched it to the May security release which seems a bit behind the times still.

I was as shocked as you were, creation date 6th June, personally wonder why they bothered considering update content.
Ray

Standby time seems to be very much improved, a 2% drop over night and that was it.

Can I apply the update with my device being rooted with magisk or do I need to uninstall magisk first? Saw somewhere people using flashfire but I am not sure if I need to apply it from there as I have twrp installed. Grabbed the update so will upload.

Don't tell anyone but it was a joke, the UK was seemingly ignored for months then 2 updates in 2 weeks.

Some guy on fb said that by the end of December or at the first week of January, we'll start getting Oreo. I can't believe that but I may be wrong

Someone's grandma's uncle's cousin said on twitter that it'd be out tomorrow. But who knows...
Lol seriously people...

s6+ security updates

Since August, I've been receiving at least one update EVERY month.
This one is out - and it's not even the end of November.
Its unprecedented! Anyone else? I think Samsung is doing very well. And the phone is better with battery usage after every update.
I'm very impressed... anyone else?

November....

Wow.
December security update!
They're like clockwork now.
And....where's everyone gone?!

I also received the update today. 2 updates in a single month from Samsung!

I know!
I'm like....What's going on? Am I awake? ?
Still... it's good, no?
And my phone is running like silk.
Onward.

I confirm. I get one update each month with the date of security level set on the first day of the previous month.

Another one!
Loving it!
So much infact I just got my front and back screen replaced.
New-Found respect for my S6+!

Is the latest one from 1st January 2018?

It would be the same one just issues on a different day. It's January though.
Amazing.... The S6 Plus is updating faster than the Mate 9, OnePlus 3T & 5T, the HTC U11, the Xiaomi Mi6 & the S8 Plus.

From a marketing standpoint it is really amazing, cause Samsung made S6E+ too good. They would normally bury a too good phone.

Of all the phones I'm carrying, the S6 edge plus is the only one getting updates every single month.
On time. Like clockwork.
It's pretty amazing.
Even my partner's 8+ is nowhere near it.

I read your reply today and I've checked if I have an update waiting for me aswell and it turns out although we live in different countrires in EU thre's an sec. update waiting for me.... about the same size.
But this one is strange. Even if full LTE signal It downloads very slowly. I wonder why?
BTW you have nice theme. Do you beleive I'm still runninng the stock defaut theme..... gosh...

I'm sure (I hope) You all (especialy XDA users) know the theory of making a device worse in performance (more lagging, lessm battery life etc.) by hidding a spcial code in sec. updates.
Well maybe that's what Samsung is doing cause like I've told You a thousand times S6E+ is (maybe until S9) the pbest fone release yet.
To motivate ppl to upgrade even from S8 Samsung may start rolling out bad updates.
Today I've talked to a guy that suddenly, 2-3 days after the premiere of S9/S9+ saw that his S8 has suddenly slowed down. He didn't install any new apps or did nothing unusual. Even didnt get the Oreo update.
Think about that.
I've isntalled the sec update. Have now from 1st Feb 2018 and for some time I see that espcially the battery life is going suddenly down.
You need to know that since I purchaed the phone I used it only once a month. Latley 4 times a month. Never installed more apps than 5. Even a loooong time ago after purchase I got rid of Microsoft apps and some other non Google and non Samsung.
Something fishy is about that.
WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK about this situation with these updates?

Good question but I estimate 90% the answer would be NO

what happened with OnePlus ?

I don't know what is OnePlus doing.. I'm using OnePlus 7t still running on November security patch
Previously I used OnePlus 6.in that time op6 gets every month security patches and updates without any delay..I'm so happy with OnePlus software updates and security patches.. that's why i upgrade my phone to 7t..now everything upside down no regular updates or security patches..(it's not a OnePlus issue but i have to say custom rom development's and community are not active for this device) I expected so much from OnePlus..when i upgraded.. sadly I'm disappointed
If guy's know anything about this updates delays please comment..

Yes, I'm super disappointed too.
Yet, oneplus is doing bimonthly updates, and they've been clear about this.
That means update every two months.
For some stupid reason they release one security update late. Last update was 13 December (with the Nov security patch). That means that in approx two days they will release an update if they are on schedule. (Except the Corona situation might delay things)
Now since they release last month's security updates with every update our phone will be brought up to January security update next time.
That's keeping with their promise and the two monthly release.
Considering even Samsung the notoriously bad update king manages to push out recent security updates every month there's understandable reason to be disappointed. Although we are the ones who made assumptions about updates, so I guess we can only blame ourselves ?

They're wary of the virus spread right now in China. So work and other stuff are either halted or limited.

A oneplus staff member stated on their own forum that because of the coronavirus the updates are delayed but op7t will get the january Security Update in the next 2 weeks

"We encountered some delays due to the NCP outbreak. The January security update for 7T will be released in the following two weeks if all goes well."

Seriously people its just a mobile phone update. People are dying, entire cities are shut down. Have some respect please.

Why would you put your trust in any oem? OnePlus already has your money. Also you're on XDA asking this... a home of developers and other enthusiasts who create and contribute to custom updated roms. [emoji2361]

They're all under BBK electronics yes. (Oppo, Vivo, Realme and Oneplus) but they're seperated into different teams/offices especially OnePlus with it's OxygenOS. So people from Realme can work I think but people from OnePlus can't. It depends on where they are and their worling environment. Just wait. It'll soon be there and development on custom scene shall be A-okay okce twrp gets sorted out.

Delaying this update for Corona virus is understandable, and first thing important is the employees health.
But let's not just pretend this is one time thing. OnePlus always does this, always releases an update at the end of the month with previous months patch set and never really stay on track.
In my opinion, this is where OnePlus has fallen behind, and I think it's because they release too many phones to keep track of.

Oh FFS........ China is under siege from a deadly virus and people are dying right now. Because of the virus large numbers of Chinese did not return to work after their New Year,
factories are shut or are shutting and this is already having an impact for the tech industries around the world and people here are moaning about updates as if their devices will explode if they don't get updated right now. GET REAL !!
Is this really what XDA is these days?

You should try visiting the OnePlus forum. I think every second or third post is someone whining about the security update being late.
Aside from being disgusted by the colossal self-centeredness of so many people *****ing about a damned phone update while people in the phone's country of origin are literally dying, I can't help but wonder WTF these people are doing with their phones to make them that paranoid.

I'm in Aus...how many hours til we expect to see something come through?
I've giving my 6 Pro a chance to improve after this update but if it doesn't will seriously consider returning (worse 5G reception, wifi and bluetooth than my Oppo Find X2 Pro).

Well, the sooner the better... countdown on for Monday!

Less than 24 hours from now. You might have to manually download it and apply the OTA yourself to get it that fast, but we'll see. No idea if or how much of a delay it would be before you would actually get it over the air.

I've found that it's usually about 10am Pacific Time (California).
Edit: Reddit seems to think that it's more around noon PT. Now that I think about it, that sounds about right. I seem to get the update during a busier time at work rendering my device somewhat temporarily neutered until it's done updating.

Maybe Samsung refused to sell it for Google's use in the Pixel. Maybe they would've charged too much and Google would've had to charge hundreds of dollars more. I have long suspected that Samsung has certain stipulations about Google's devices so that they're not too competitive except where it counts (to me), the software. We'll probably never know why.

probably supply issues , its also an external modem
chip shortage is real also the tensor is newer than the exynos used in the s20 ultra but also customised for google
the gpu is faster but obviously some things lacking and i dont think samsung would have been able to supply their current flagchips components alongside the google launch which had stock issues of its own
that said the price range for this phone is insanely low compared to others so some cut corners are fine
for me i dont even get to enjoy 5G in 90% of the situations im in due to slow rollout

Just checked, the update has not posted yet. It is due today as the 1st Monday of the month, but is occasionally a few days late.
Remember, if you are rooted, DO NOT take the OTA.

There is no 2nd gen modem unless Samsung wants to surprise everyone.
All rumors point to an on-die modem, likely a 5123c instead of anything new.

I'm dieing for this updateeeeee lol, well my phone's dieing for it this update should determin if things are fixable or not

[Update: Pixel 6] Android 12 December security patch rolling out to Pixel, factory images & OTAs live
The latest update of 2021 is rolling out today with the Android 12 December security patch for the Pixel 4a, Pixel 5, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro...

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.

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.
