I have a Samsung J2 SM-S260DL still stuck on Android 8.1. Some of the apps I use are now only compatible with Android 9 +. Does Samsung automatically update the phone's Android ---because I contacted Tracfone and they told me it's up to the phone manufacturer. I tried the phone's software update, but don't get the 9 update.

Android 8.1.0_0008
Build MTAJQ.S260DLUDU2ASE4
Kernel 3.18.14-16126611
I don't think Samsung after 4 years of releasing this phone has the motivation to improve Android 8.1 Oreo (Go edition) to version 9. Enjoy what you have.
p.s.
What compels you to look for android 9?

B/c a few of the apps I use are now only compatible with android 9+. I've only had the phone a couple of years--I got it from QVC. They tend to sell phones already released for cheap. I got the Samsung J2, 1500 data, 1500 texts, 1500 minutes with 1 year of service for 59.99 --on 6 payments of like 10 bucks. Phone works great. Is in excellent condition---but just need Android 9 b/c some of the app updates need newer versions of android

Hi Guys,
I am looking to downgrade my Note 10+ AT&T from Android 10 to Android 9.
I have update my phone last week and i can't used my Mirrorlink app on my car aftermarket HU (AVIC-7000NEX)
Anyone still have not update to android 10 can tell me what the Baseband version of last security update for android 9? Maybe a screenshot of you Software Information would be awesome.

LOL! Where did you get information RN5 will get Android 10? RN5 Pro got 2 major Android updates 8.1 and 9. Be happy they even continue MIUI. Last MIUI update was in November and after that still nothing. This is not a flagship phone. If you want Android 10 go with custom ROMs.

They were launched with Nougat
Dude has right.There were serious rumors that we would get android 10.
What is the point of android 10 if it is still covered by MIUI skin? I hardly can point out any additional feature provided by android 10. There are several nice to have features, but it also brings along several critical limitation.
I flashed Havoc 3.0 android 10 early January this year, just for the sake of update, after one week immediately regret it. I am back to AEX 6.7 Pie 9.0 since then. The clipboard limitation severely damage several of my daily flows in Automagic. Any wifi/bluetooth related action now require high accuracy location feature to be on all the time. While at pie 9.0, battery saver mode is enough. There is pratically no significant new useful features I can find.
At that time most android 10 cusrom still haven't stable yet nor implementing their features into the ROM. Example, I can't yet find Smartbar DUI in AEX 7.0 Android 10, but it is there in AEX 6.7 Pie 9.0 (that's why I stay on Pie). Rather than having new version but with missing features, I better stay on old version but with full features.
Maybe battery backup is better on Q?

Also, some come with MIUI 9 and others with MIUI 10. You received an updated batch.
If you search "Redmi Note 5 Nougat" you will see that this device was launched with Nougat.

Installing that Nougat on my whyred is going to break my camera, which means that 7.1 wasn"t meant for my device. Indian whyred was launched with 7.1 . Not global one

But I still think xiaomi won't update it to Android 10
finally samsung is rolling out android 10 for the A50, for now its available in india and korea but its a matter of days and it will be released globally
Let us hope that camera2api is fully enabled now.
Any way for us to apply the update in other regions?

If you have the a505f model you can try the indian firmware (google this :A505FDDU4BTC4) but i advise you to wait for your region's firmware since it may be impossible to go back to Android 9 after the upgrade.
Here's the link F India firmware
https://sourceforge.net/projects/samsungfw/files/SM-A505F/INS/A505FDDU4BTC4/
I flashed the INS firmware, no issues so far. Camera is still crappy, and the fingerprint sensor is still the same.

Looks like Samsung is about to push out a revised package for the A505F for India.
A505FDDU4BTC4 original release, A505FDDS4ATB6 is what is being reported on Sammobile today.

Technically speaking, the first package was the Update and the second is a Security update.
I'm a little rusty on my Samsung naming convention, but I just went through my old files from my Note 8 days and it was consistent.
U for version update, S for security update.
Also the 4th letter from the end is another indicator of the version. A = OS at release, B = 1st version upgrade, C = second and so on.
So I have a feeling this new file is still Android 9, and is just a security update.
A505FDDU4BTC4 indicates Android 10 version upgrade.
A505FDDS4ATB6 indicates Security update for release OS version.

It's a shame and completely unacceptable that an Android 10 build released in 2020 doesn't have full camera2api support. It's something that was introduced with stock Android Lollipop 5.0!
Why is camera2api not working. Is there any telegram group of devs where I can request for the same?
Well I'm not getting the update... From India
Hi all.....
I live in middle east and I bought unlooked Samsung Note 10 + USA version with Android 9 and I don't have AT&T sim card so when I tried to update through OTA it says "you have the last update" but others got android 11 and I still at android
is there any solution ? Please help
Updates ( read: patches ) get rolled by OEM / carrier if they deem it necessary.
What you probably mean is Upgrading from Android 9 to Android 11. IMO this you only can achive by flashing a Custom ROM based on Android 11 what is suitable to your phone.

Thanks for your answering I meant that my phone stuck at Android 9 and I couldn't upgrade since I had the phone So my question was can I upgrade to Android 11 by Odin and still get official updates?
And I actually didn't know what is the right rom for my phone
My moto g 5g is working awfully, it has a lot of lags, sometimes during some seconds, and i don't know the reason... I think that android 11 is poorly optimized for it. Any notice about android 12 availability? I read on some webs that this smartphone will be upgraded with the 12th.

Motorola doesn't offer reliable eta on updates, sometimes there are rumors of soak tests, but that's about it.
have you tried reflashing the firmware or a factory reset since the Android 11 upgrade?
I would use LMSA's flash rescue, but it will factory reset the device when it flashes the firmware.

I installed it yesterday, you need to unlock the bootloader. The gsi+gsm rom is really barebone tho.
For lag i can suggest removing the blur effect from systemui from developer options.

Oh, no we won't, only one major release from motorola, budget cuts i guess. We started from 10 and got 11 nothing more (except security updates). I hope this will revive modding for these phones tho. I would love an android 12 pixel experience
