I received marshmellow a while ago, but never received a security update,
Is there any news on that ?
Monthly security updates are for Nexus devices only. No other device or OEM committed to monthly updates, and given how long carriers take to approve software, OEMs couldn't make it work if they wanted too.

I am wondering if anyone knows why the security patch level on my Verizon HTC 10 is from June 1? Isn't their a more recent security update?
Because US carriers are brutally slow to push out updates....
HTC has been the best OEM (other than google itself with the nexus phones) on updating flagship phones the past couple of years...even US Carrier ones...but obviously their unlocked ones get it quicker due to less red tape.

Thats kind of what i figured...I talked to Verizon support and they tried to convince me that it had nothing to do with them and that it was all an Android issue and that the carriers had nothing to do with security updates being pushed to their devices.
Typical BS Verizon response... I recall when I had a Sony z3v which was actually a nice phone, it never even got the advanced calling update it was supposed to! I couldn't use voice and data at the time time, then magically Verizon stopped selling it, and they kept blaming Sony. I know the Verizon variant was a little different than the normal z3 but I had it a year with no update! I think they finally stopped the phone at 5.1...
Again Europe is getting the update way before the US market. Any word when to expect the update here?
No word yet and Samsung hasn't put out a schedule! hopefully soon...
At this point they should wait for April patch... But what matters most to me is resolving network bugs with Sprint + T-Mobile. Still, isn't it odd that even the U1 S10s don't have the March patch?
I don't care about the security update, I want the fixes, like the deep sleep bug, etc. So tired of feeling like a red-headed stepchild.

I had an U1 S9+ in the US and it always came last for any updates. Use to be the first to get them but not anymore. It took about 3 weeks to get the Pie update from Oreo after everyone else got it.

ATT has some network issues also.. I'm having to restart my s10+ one to two times a day just to get signal back. Unlocked S10+
Damn, even though these phones are made in vietnam yet they still havent released any update for vietnam region (exynos)
My Unlocked UK gets updated pretty much on day 0, but you Americans have to suffer waiting for your lazy providers to bloat your firmware first, not only that, that's also another reason of why you can't unlock your bootloader, it really sucks.
Samsung's update schedule is totally ignored by most providers worldwide, some S9 units are getting Pie just now, so there's no way to really know when anything is coming to anyone.

Mine is unlocked, not a provider phone. Yet still ignored by Samsung. I love Samsung phones, I always get unlocked versions, but this is absolutely ridiculous. One thing about iPhones that makes me jealous.
April....day 5....no March update. How is it acceptable to have a flagship phone, where Samsung committed to monthly updates, and to be a month late right out of the gate?
My phone runs amazing. I'm not sweating it.
I am still waiting also.
It should arrive for U1 once all US carriers update their U models. I think Verizon & ATT haven't updated yet, will check later.

Finally! Thanks for heads up
I got a prompt for a biometrics update (Canada unlocked version) yet when I try to install it, it fails. Had to remove Secure Folder it seems, but then the notification disappeared completely. No more notification and biometrics still the same older version. I love how good Samsung is at rolling out updates. I will probably never get this now.
No March update either, a md it's mid April now.
Hopefully the biometrics update(s) will come soon for the snapdragon unlocked us version
Just received the unlocked March update... Yippee ???????
My V35 doesn't want to update to pie with the $10 AT&T prepaid sim card, i tried forwarding the date 5 days and it checks for updates but it says that its "up to date" i've done this method more than 10 times and no success. The sim card did work at first updating the phone from the december update to the april update (security) in June.
Android Version: 8.0.0
Android security patch level: April 1, 2019
I know I'm right with you. I'm in straight talk and have gotten all the updates to the march security patch v350AWM12j. But have not gotten any ota for Android 9.0? I recently ordered an ATT sim to give that a shot but I guess we will see. Just wish LG would release a downloadable version!

AT&T won't let them.
Same with Sprint LG phones.
Ugh! Well them both working together to because this is truly unacceptable! I don't know what the difference is between a security update and a software update as I received security updates just fine.
Got to
A update this morning and brought to awm 20 c.
This was at my house which has no AT&t signal so I'm just on Wi-Fi
Guess it's just a waiting game then? Slow rollout!!!
Hi guys. So last month, I was gifted an unlocked galaxy s10 plus from the US and had it shipped to Nigeria where I live in. But since then I haven't gotten any OTA updates. The last security patch on the phone was on July. And I'm aware more recent updates are out. I've checked repeatedly from settings and smart switch for PC, but the phone still doesn't detect updates. Any ideas on what to do?. I'd be grateful if I get a reply. Thank you!
