I am wondering if the update has repaired the bluetooth problems that many are suffering through? Were you having issues that have been resolved?

I never had any issues, and since the update this trend has continued.

Will this finally show metadata on my cars display??!?! (Song info) (uconnect)

Didn't receive any ota update here in germany.. To the people who had may security updates is the fingerprint scanner bug fixed or not!

They've promised it monthly since May...
I'll believe it when it happens.
Having said that the B317 is pretty good. Haven't found any bugs so far.
From facebook : For the Mate 7, the Lollipop can be updated on Sep (via SD card), in October you can get the OTA updating notice via wifi
Damn spoke too soon.
Am back to KitKat. Was getting a wifi bug where it would drop out every hour or so until I restarted it
Also would not let me change DPI below 440 which is still huge for me. Normally I was using 320 in KK.
Oh well....
Edit: The wifi bug was actually the Wifi optimisation option that was ticked. I also had it in KK until I disabled the option.
Overall the B317 LP is fine but for me not being able to lower DPI below 440 or having Xposed (latest LP version did not work) made me switch back.
Hopefully issues fixed in official release if/when that may come.
wow a lollipop after a year. I BET THERE IS NO CHANCE FOR MARSHMALLOW.
huawei - worst support of all companies
Hungarian Huawei official FB promised the update to arrive in mid-october.

However I experienced serious wakelock issue with the B317. Battery drain overnight
A few days only, then they will promise it for middle of november. And so on. There will be no final lollipop in 2015.
There is a officially version B130 for TL10.
Official? Where?

Ye, but B130 is KK, I think this is the best version and last version on KK for TL10. Fast and no bug at all. Released by middle east areas.

This could be the Android battery drain issue I read about over the weekend. Over 600+ people have reported it on the Android Issues page (apparently - I have no link for you).
It's end of September now. Anyone receiving the final Lollipop OTA yet?

UK BTU update G935FXXU1DQB3

Just got this OTA update this morning, the main thing I've noticed is that Facebook is now pre-installed, i don't use it, so why is Samsung adding more bloatware?

Taken on original 7.0 update. I'm almost certain that Facebook is preinstalled since I have no option to uninstall.
I'm now wondering if it was pre installed on MM and I automatically disabled it, but when I updated to 7.0 it never mentioned Facebook, but this update must have re-enabled it again

Depends which country you are in, ive never had a problem with it here in the UK, its always worked, but as the instructions below state, its country specific:
Upon reading this thread I manually checked for update and it popped up, didn't specify any changes but I can confirm it did add Facebook, how annoying

Like I said, ive never had a problem, its always worked on every version of android since 6.0.1, and 7 and now also with the lastest update.
However, you are in Israel with BTU (Europe) firmware, thats why its not working for you, like I said and the screen shot says, its country specific, "This service is not available in other countries"
did the update... still not happy with the battery ... stock phone... i get almost an hour less sot!!! if i remember samsung said something for 30% better battery??!!! lol... i ll wait for an update again... of they dont fix it i guess that ill go back to mm
It wasn't released worldwide, even if is official for some devices I believe nougat is still in test mode for samsung

For me it has not changed : b402 has been approved without IMEI for a few days, but not with IMEI.
So, it can't be installed.
It will eventually become approved with IMEI within a few days, as it happened for previous updates.
It will probably be the same with today's b403, which I think will become approved in the beginning of next month, and so on.
Got it in Croatia today. Only security update of February. I'm shocked that honor brand is getting that fast security updates. if you compare it to Samsung which has 3 times more expensive phones and sell like millions of millions of phones every year, honor is really really fast with this, even Samsung devices got February security fixes one or two weeks ago. If only they would be that good with major updates. I'm looking at you Oreo. [emoji14]

I am in the same boat. Mine is SM-G950FD (UAE version) bought from US and using in India. I am still on October 2018 patch. I got a few updates after I bought it, then it stopped. :crying:
I saw that some people who had bought from one country (UAE in particular) had their phone sensors bricked during earlier OTAs while they were in a different country. I hope that is the reason they are delaying updates for our phones and not because they blacklisted us.

Just a thought. Did you come back to India after Feb 2019? I came back during Nov-Dec 2018. I stopped receiving updates around that time. Could it be that Samsung don't push updates if we are not in the original country?

Not necessarily an original device. Download Smart Switch on your computer then plug your device, if it recognizes it then update it from there. If it doesn't, then it's a fake.

What is the current build name? Download Phone Info from the Play Store and see if its a genuine Samsung device. Have a feeling its a knock-offf, hoping its not but your firmware is too old for this model.

I have the same issue, it is stuck on security update 1 April!
I have tried manual update from the phone and with PC (Smart Switch); clear cash, reset the phone...nothing => it is saying I have the last update.
I have an S10+ bought from UK but I am using it in Romania
Do you have some pointers? What to do/check ?
