475MB... Isnt MM... Nothing more to be said. But, it looks like it fixes some of the first nags... Looking forward to getting it, still not rolled out to UK STV100-4
The BlackBerry Priv gets its first monthly maintenance patch via a 475 MB OTA update. While this particular update isn’t a Marshmallow overhaul, it does offer a bunch of new changes, improvements, and optimizations.
BlackBerry’s official blog outlines the major changes in the update including:
An improved camera: We’re implemented a number of tweaks that improve the speed of our camera app, and re-tuned it for better low-light image quality.
Better performance: We’ve also tweaked the PRIV’s software to improve overall system performance.
Improved stability: The update further includes a number of adjustments designed to improve device reliability and reduce instances of crashing and freezing.
Enhanced security: Lastly, the release includes December’s security patches – rest easy knowing your device is protected against the latest Android security threats.
The blog also mentions that the update is now available to all BlackBerry Priv units purchased through ShopBlackBerry.com by checking for system updates in the settings menu. Carrier versions’ update will begin rolling out on December 7.
BlackBerry’s official apps will also be updated via the Google Play Store starting December 14 with new camera filters and keyboard tweaks. The Hub & Contacts apps will also be updated to support WhatsApp.
DTEK will also be updated with new ways for your device to notify you of suspicious activity with sensitive information performed by your apps.

Tch, we have an OTA update URL, but there's no way to load it onto the phone.
Guess I have to wait a week.
I got my priv from amazon, and I got the update by mashing the check button over and over.
The main thing I notice is that it runs a LOT cooler now.

well FW is out with update but the play store is not updated with new versions:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blackberry.keyboard
The updated apps will be out soon. Still have yet to receive my update even though i Purchased mine from CPW.
Also not received the update as yet and bought in the UK from C(rap)PW unlocked
Oh yeh an update! - now do I install it, or put it off in the hope I manage to execute this su binary sat on my phone.... (busybox works via adb shell, not locally on the phone)
edit: purchased direct from rim, uk model, STV100-4
Update went well - Only noticeable difference (so far) is that it does not play the screenshot sound when the phone is on mute. Yay!

It appears so, CPW must qualify as a carrier... OR they are restricting the rollout somehow, IMEI lottery?
I am curious, did the CPW phone come with all the american "emergency broadcast" options (like earthquakes and amber alerts) under the same menu as APN settings?
Did it come with the "Demo" mode for showing off the phone on the shelf?
and have you found a way to turn off "lock screen when you put the phone down"?

The units CPW sold came from O2.
So, "from CPW" really means "an unlocked (and branded) O2 phone".

First info I got about this was from giffgaff (which is an O2 MVNO, they should know).
I am not aware that CPW is selling non-O2 Privs, but... I do not have confirmation.
Tell me something, when you reboot, if you look carefully at the screen, do you see an O2 background for a split second before boot terminates? It's just a split second, but it's really full screen and hard to miss if you stare at it. I rebooted a CPW Priv 2 days ago just to check that and there it was.
Actually I think CPW had exclusivity for 2 months and do offer the handset on O2/Voda/iD - so I would not expect them to be carrier-branded at all, CPW branded maybe.
US handsets had bootloader logos for all carriers and simply selected the carriers bootsplash theme I believe.

This!
unlocked-unbranded BB10 devices are picking up the provider logos depending on your SIM.
Think that BBandroid is not different
Nope it isnt any different, powering off your device and powering it back on will show your SIM Provider Logo Splash Screen
O2 does the same, Voda does the same.
I can't send MMS after update. Anyone else. I tried changing APN.
Hmmm Unsure... Which Network Provider?

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.

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.

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...
I'm pretty much sold on the thing, since I can unload my 3T at the same time--but a few questions first.
1: Can anyone test Samsung gear watches with the phone? I've read Samsung pay only works if you sideload the gear app, but would prefer it working 100% since I plan on staying unrooted.
2: VPNs have caused some issues on past carrier phones, basically using hotspot data rather than regular data. Can anyone just run a quick test to make sure this isn't the case? Mostly for use of Blokada.
3: Does RCS work? I know TMobile was rolling it out by device, but it seems this would be the perfect time to add it with the 6T.
Thanks!

1. Setup my gear s3 and it works perfectly. Everything is sideloaded as you install from the galaxy Wearable app.
2. This device already seems to have a private VPN set up as default, didn't touch it but it gives you the option to add.
3. RCS I'm assuming does not work and depends on tmobile actually activating them over an OTA update.

Thanks for the quick reply. For the gear stuff, I know it sideload through wear but I had read with the OP6 you had to get S-Pay from an apk mirror. Have you tested pay and it all works?

It's a TMobile issue not OP, sadly. No idea why they're doing it in stages and by phone.
My TMobile version does not have the hold power button down to activate Google Assistant feature. Is everyone else missing this?
I got some tmobile variant questions aswell?
Im from México but my brother is on vacation in USS.. in thinking on buying the oneplus but im a little confused about unlocking the phone... Some people say i have to use it with tmobile for 40 days to be able to unlock it even if i make the full pay for it.. othe people say you can unlock it the same day you full pay for it with the tmobile app..
So, can someone confirm who is correct with this because i wont like my brother to buy me the phone and then cant use it because of locked sim..
Also another question.. do you know if later we could install the international firmware on the tmobile version and get the updates directly from oneplus??

1) SIM Unlocking:
YMMV,only way you'll know for certain is trying it yourself. My recent experiences w/Customer Care lead me to believe they'll accommodate you.
2) Int'l ROM flashing onto a T-Mobile variant.
No,that is not possible. Perhaps some aftermarket ROM will be available later,but,no ,not at this time,official,or,otherwise.
Updates will come from T-Mobile.
If you're gonna buy it outright,why bother w/T-Mobile anyway,just skip the hassles & go for the unlocked version.....................

Because TMobile will allow you to buy the phone for 280 out the door with an approved trade-in device.
This is my current situation....I like to tinker and flash ROMs/mods. Hopefully if I end up with the Tmo version, I'll still be able to flash custom ROMs once development gets going for the device.

Well it looks like I'll be ordering from OP directly. It seems if I pay 280 and get the device I'll still pay 12 dollars and change a month until I hit the 570 mark to have the device "paid in full." I guess the 300 dollars goes towards savings on the bill. I read comments on here saying even if you buy the phone from TMobile, in order to "buy it outright" you still have to pay the full price of the phone. I need an unlocked bootloader and root so I guess I'll just pay OP directly.

Yeah it's really only a good deal if you're already or going to stay a T-Mobile customer. You wait a couple of months for the billing discount to kick in and you pay off your device in full. After that you'll still get your discount every month and you'll be able to unlock your sim card and unlock your bootloader.

I am a TMobile customer and plan on staying with them. Flashing the latest updates is kind of a big deal to me....I've been a Nexus/pixel user for years and am not use to being locked down by carrier restrictions when it comes to unlocking devices. I just don't feel like dealing with the clutter and hassle of having sift through the carrier's rules before doing what I want with my phone.

I agree, and I'm the exact same way. I've been on T-Mobile forever and have had a Nexus device since the Nexus 4. I had a Galaxy 4 for work and hated it.
This is my first carrier device pretty much ever. Before the Nexus 4 I was using the HTC HD2 and before that I was using Palm Windows and Palm OS devices.
Pretty much the way I see it is if this is too much of a pain, I can always sell it and go with my original plan of getting a used Pixel 2 XL on swappa.
I'll give it a chance. The price was just too good to pass. And I'm fairly confident in OP's laziness on locking down this phone. I have a feeling it will be pretty simple to swap over to the international rom, and if not, at most we'll have to wait a day for someone to repack the official rom removing the modem and/or bootloader. And if not, on to swappa it goes.
I'm very dissatisfied with not receiving any updates yet....
I love my phone but T-Mobile is soooo slowwww.
I have my One Plus 6T thanks to a friend, I didn't have the money to buy the complete phone cash.
Is this a rant? Carrier always push update slow. I don't mind at all. At least you don't have bloatware lol

Depending on how bad you want the latest build....you could always unlock the Sim, apply for an unlock token and unlock the bootloader. From there you can fastboot flash the latest 9.0.5 images as many users have done already.

i cashed in with the 300$ off deal!! called and threated to disconnect my T-Mobile digits line. T-Mobile rep unlocked my 6t on the spot over the phone. sent my request for unlock token from oneplus on the 9th... Hopefully I get the email today so I can bump my 6t to 9.0.5.. T-Mobile is definitely taking long to release their version but at least they told us they were. maybe they will push it out today..... 9.0.5 runs better and has the November android security.
Mine is totally unlocked, haven't paid anything but the tax on launch day.. running 9.05 loving it..

Also, what maked you think that today they are going to update today? Did I miss something?

You might have to be a little more aggressive like threaten to cancel your service or something if they don't unlock the phone tell them you're leaving the country and you must have it unlocked immediately ??

Agreed with the other folks on here. Just gotta be straight honest or total bull to get it. I haven't made a single payment on my device, did the $300 trade-in deal and my second attempt was successful by going through their Facebook T-Force team. Told them I wanted to unlock bootloader but that required the phone to be fully unlocked. Also told them I have been a customer for 16+ years. Tenure is what got me what I wanted. That's also gotten me free SIM cards and free next day shipping on purchases. Just adapt your approach to whatever fits you best.

I'm right now with a T-Force employee on twitter. ( Fingers crossed)
Let's see if I can convince them thanks for the tips. I been with T-Mobile for 5+ years now. Never have an unlocked phone from them
Let's see how it goes.
I tried maybe 5 times now... Called in / Facebook / online chat..... They will not unlock without device paid off and more than 40days service
I'm on EIP customer 10yrs plus and no luck
Only reason I want root is viper anyway.....ugh

Ask to talk to a supervisor. I can't imagine you being with them for a decade that they won't do the same for you that they did for me.
Here is the gist copy of my convo on facebook messenger:
ME: Hello, was wondering if someone could help me with an unlock. I'm just looking to unlock bootloader but apparently you can't do that without a full unlock initiated by you guys. I've been a customer for over 16 years and have no plans to leave, just want an unlocked bootloader to play with some extra stuff I have used for years. My number is ###-###-####.
TMO:Hey there Andrew! Thanks for taking the time to reach out to us. My name is Chris, and I'll be your #MagentaExpert today, and I'm eager to help out anyway I can! Before we can unlock any phone it has to meet certain eligibility requirements, and I can definitely check on that for you. Can you follow our secure link, so I can pull up all the details. Also what's the IMEI number for the OnePlus 6T? Let me know once you've had a chance to follow the link. *ChrisScott
***sent my IMEI and accepted the invite link through facebook***
ME:I understand the requirements for unlock, which are likely there to make sure people don't get devices under a deal and cut/run, but I can assure you I am not going anywhere as my tenure with T-Mobile affords me a very pleasant experience with support or really any other requests I may have.
TMO:Thanks for following the link for me! I'm pulling up all the details right now, so bear with me for just one moment please. Thanks! *ChrisScott
TMO:Thanks for your patience! Normally a phone needs to be on the account for at least 40 days, but I'm going to make an exception this time around because you've been apart of our family for a very longtime! I did process the override, so you should be able to follow these steps https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-38913 to complete the unlock. Let me know if you run into any trouble. In regards to the 9.0.5 there's no date set for the release, but as soon as it is available you should receive a push notification to your phone so you can update it. *ChrisScott

How did you get ahold of them on messenger? Just search for TMobile and picked @Tmobile but no reply...
I got a reply just now... Crossing my fingers...ugh
Yeah, just found them at default. They can be a little slow on the reply. https://www.facebook.com/TMobile/

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 ???????
