[Q] Samsung Focus Update

Has anyone done the update yet?
I can't seem to find anything that is related to the Focus update (other than the Omnia 7 fiasco)...so I was wondering whether or not I should update when Zune prompts me to...?

They are resuming the rollout.

Yup,
I did some research after I posted and I found only a few articles so I wasn't absolutely sure.
Eitherway, I did the update and had zero issues.

Are you on ATT?

anyone not getting update notification on either the phone and/or Zune software?
I bought my phone over a week ago from the ATT store here Georgia. never recieved the previous buggy update notification, and still have not recieved the new bugless pre-update. even with it connected to Zune it says my phone is up to date. 7.0 (7004)

I'm on Rogers in Canada.

There is a rumor that ATT is not rolling out the pre-NoDo update. Can anyone confirm this or has anyone updated their windows phone (focus or otherwise) through att?

update?
how is the update scheduled? Per region ? or carrier? What about if my unit is an AT&T Samsung Focus and I am using it on a different carrier, how will I get the update? Will At&T has the ability to block it? even sim card inserted is not At&t? I read that it will be pushed, but I never got any notifications at all.

No update here

AT&T has not approved the first update. Focus owners will need to wait for the No-Do update now which will be released pretty soon anyways.

No update here. Samsung Fucus. Washington DC. Purchased first day available.

It's a rumor, but hopefully it comes true:
http://www.wpcentral.com/ATT-focus-get-pre-nodo-and-nodo-monday

The first minor update was held back intentionally as some users reported it was causing some issue.
It was rolled out again this week, but apparently there are issues again.
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-20039227-94.html
I just received mine this morning after notification late yesterday. I plugged in the phone to laptop this morning and it seems to be intalling the minor update. I am on FIDO in Canada with Rogers Samsung Focus.
EDIT: OS Version after update reads 7.0.7008.0
The update took about 10 minutes.

What does the up-date fix?

I beleive this update is only for allowing better/faster install of future updates that actually have fixes or features that we are all waiting for (copy/paste) among other things (Internet Explorer 9, Flash).

Have an unlocked focus in Egypt and no update notifications whatsoever.

It was a rumor with no truth to it at all. I don't expect NoDo to be released to the carriers until at least the 15th (the day of the "big" announcement from Microsoft).

No update here either...AT&T
Software version: still: vOS version: 7.0.7004.0
Reviewing that some International carriers are moving it on Samsung as quoted:
"I just updated WP7 here in Singapore.
LG Optimus 7.
OS version: 7.0.7004.0 to 7.0.7008.0
Successful Update. No glitch. Very Smooth.
3/5/2011"

this kind of explains it ?

I still haven't received the March update. The people at the AT&T Corporate store and AT&T customer service didn't even know there was an update that should have been available until I showed them. And then they just scratched their heads and gave the old can response of, "maybe it's being rolled out in stages?" I then asked, "Who can I talk to to find out when I will receive it?" and either they didn't know or they claimed to know...but people were not allowed to talk to them.
So, I'm guessing this update might come out around this time next year from AT&T.

I KNEW I should have bought a T-mobile device and just unlocked to use on AT&T since that's the carrier my family is on.....and yes, i'm still waiting on the March security update. Maybe i'll get that one in June and the April one in Dec. :/

There is no march patch.. there was an update released on march 18 but it still had february patches...

Regardless, the update changed the Baseband Version from APB5 to APC2. The MYAT&T app clearly shows that it should be available. My phone is still on the APB5 baseband and I can not get the update from any method. I have not received an OTA notification, manually checking for it shows me up to date, and Samsung switch tells me no update is available. So an update was released in March but me (and apparently others) can't get it. The only thing I haven't tried in the Samsung Experience at BestBuy.
This is the reason, I am thinking that (at least some people) probably won't see an update from AT&T like the one Tmobile just got for a long time.

AT&T Sim. Everything checks out with the phone and sim. I've talked to AT&T customer service on the phone and brought the phone into a local AT&T corporate retail store and both times they said the phone and account were fine. They also both claimed to not know about any updates until I showed / told them about it. Then, they just scratched their heads and gave me the old, "well...maybe it's just being rolled out in stages?" But neither could tell me who to contact to confirm if that was the case or not. Basically, they are clueless about their own products.

Nope... when you check for software updates.. the server checks for the sim before it issues the ota.. if we dont have the carrier sim it simply says your phone doesnt have any updates

anyone gone to best buy's samsung experience kiosk yet to check and see if the April update is available there?

I purchased my S7 at BestBuy about 2 weeks ago and the next day came back to Uruguay(South America). Then I saw online the March 18th update which also updated the baseband.
I tried to update it mannually but as it was mentioned it didn't work because the SIM is not from AT&T.
I have an AT&T SIM card that came with the phone but is not activated, do you think that placing that SIM card in the phone and trying the update will work?
Plane mode also?
I'm starting to get desperate on this phone because when I bought it I didn't know about this AT&T stupid policy about the updates.
Thanks.

Im in the same boat as you are.. i dont think we ll get any updates without at&t activated sim to receive the otas..
The only thing we can do is sideload the ota update from people who have already received the update..
But that means people with s7 edge on at&t should share the ota as soon as they download it without updating it... if they update the phone the phone deletes the update..

if you wanna sideload you'll need to unlock the bootloader. as far as I can tell, the galaxy s7 is locked tight!

correct me if i'm wrong, but I always thought ODIN was for flashing full rom images, not updates. At least when I used it was mostly factory default images that Samsung/ATT already released.

Why is the sammobile site not listing at&t version whereas even the tmobile recent firmware is also listed...

AT&T is one of the carriers notorious for not releasing firmware for developers to tinker with.

So not much hope to get the rom to sideload it, AT&T is the worst... I have already published my S7 on internet, hope to be able to sell it quick and get an 'F' version.
Thanks for your help.

I hate waiting for updates...

Any other Verizon Users recieve an Update today?

Yes, installed and no issues yet.
Nov security update and a fix for VPN's

Got the update yesterday. No issues. Since it didn't do anything special before the update I installed it.
My reference is to the VZW Note 3 that, out of the box, allowed WiFi Hotspot at no extra charge.

Have you received the January update pushed OTA?

Just trying to gauge rate/actuality of this occurring. I haven't yet received an update OTA since getting my Pixel 2 mid October. I finally sideloaded the Dec update, but am intent on waiting to see if the January update ever comes via OTA push.

I received the pushed OTA, though it failed since I have TWRP, Magisk, and Snoke Kernel.
If your impatient just flash the factory image or the OTA.

And yes, I'm impatient. I'm impatient for it to work like it's supposed to. I don't want to have to sideload updates every month.

I have two Pixel 2 phones. On the second one it came in two days ago.
Google is going to push the OTAs in batches. Other than flashing the Factory Image or OTA I don't know what to tell you other than wait?
Tap the system update button?

Yeah I received mine. Bought from VZW. I had just flashed September to roll all the way back. Maybe that's why.

I received the OTA in India..

Anyone captured the OTA link for the P2? As in the 40MB update, not the full OTA you can download from Googles OTA site.

I have still not got the OTA in India..... Google should really fix this.

My wife's Nexus got it on Cricket (AT&T) my business Pixel got it on AT&T, and my Google store bought pixel2 on Verizon not available yet. This has happened to me ever since I put a Verizon simm in it, was fine on AT&T. Now I give up after 30 days of no OTA and reset phone then it comes in. a real PIA to put all the passwords and accounts back. If it isn't pushed to me by next billing cycle I'm done with Verizon. My belief is since they sell them, when you buy a phone from Google direct and it sees a Verizon simm, it hands over updating to Verizon. Verizon says no, not true, but nobody can explain why then a reboot removes the authentication for Verizon and it OTAs perfect.

I thought maybe you were onto something, so I shut down, removed my Verizon SIM (phone was bought direct from Google), started back up, tried checking for updates a few times, still nothing, rebooted, repeat, still nothing.

I never got a notification to install the January security update. I restarted my phone earlier today and right when it started up I got a notification about finishing system update. Took a look in settings and apparently I now have the January security update. Looks like it downloaded/installed automatically. I am on Verizon with the Unlocked Pixel 2 from the Google Store, I am on build number OPM1.171019.013.
Not sure how this happened. I got a notification and had to manually click "Install" for the December update. Wasn't auto-updates a feature of Oreo they discussed a while back, being able update while the phone is on and when you restart it finishes the update?

At this point, half a week after release, I'd be wary of reading anything into the pattern of who has got it and who hasn't (obviously people who still haven't had previous updates are a different matter). We know that OTAs are released in batches, with very small fraction getting it in first couple of days, then larger but still small fraction, before finally rolling out generally, and it's claimed that it's random who gets it when. With the small number of (self-selecting) replies here I doubt we can make any meaningful test of whether it truly is random.
FWIW I just got it a few minutes ago (restarted and the notification popped up). UK, non-carrier model. Remarkable how long a very small update takes to install though...

Just received the update! So random...

I just downloaded the 48 megabyte January security patch via OTA download to my Pixel 2 purchased from Google. It took a really long time to install, like at least 30 minutes. This may be why people that sideloaded the OTA had a slow down while setup processes were running in the background, after the update my phone is just as snappy as ever.

Got mine today, though while I happened to be on a wifi network that was identifying my location as Mountain View, as opposed to Portland where I actually am...

I should have said "factory refresh", not reboot. pulling simm never worked either. Yesterday it came in, FIRST TIME EVER since owning Pixel 2 on Verizon. Curious though, it NEVER notified an update was available, nor that it had downloaded one, I had simple rebooted my phone and told me installing an update. Never let me refuse it or delay it. Weird.

When is the March security update coming to unlocked Snapdragon variants?

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.

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 ???????
