The "I didnt get my update on 9/30 because google forgot the admin password" thread.
SO when you get your update, please post here and let us know if it fixed anything..........
Or if it broke more things and now your battery only lasts 5 hours.....like the last update did to me.
Edit: as of 8:40 pm on 9/30/2010
We learned this evening that there were administrative issues getting this software loaded to Google's servers. We don't yet have an expected time when this will be available but will update you as soon as possible. Please see the statement below that was sent by the Sprint Product Management team:
We were planning to release an update for your Samsung Epic 4G on 9/30. The file was delivered and on track for distribution but late this afternoon, we learned that an administrative issue prevented Google from releasing the update as we had planned. We are working to resolve the issue and will provide an update as soon as we understand the new delivery schedule.
We would like to clarify that the timing of this update has nothing to do with the 30 day return window that many of you on these blogs have been discussing and that this delay has nothing to do with any last minute changes within the release package itself. The delay is simply due to an administrative issue that we are working to resolve.

IMHO, google and sprint and samsung have failed us one time too many.
My dad is ready to upgrade his phone tomorrow and he will be getting an evo at all costs. There is NO WAY I'm letting him get an epic after this clusterF**K.
I have 7 days till I'm 30 days out. Right now it's not looking good for the epic.

I checked this morning, no update available for me, and of course they didn't post it on Sprint's support page for the Epic. Fail Sprint, Fail. Guess i'll have to wait

9/30 not 10/30

Major update rolling out today that "fixes" the 3g upload..

Today begins the roll out of the maintenance release. It will be slowly released to all clients over the period of four to five days. Not everyone will get it on the first day.
^ Just to stop the "I didn't get it today and Sprint sucks and I'm canceling" gripes that always pop up.

Those will be posted regardless of you posting this or not. People will see the "I got the update on ...." thread, skip to the last page and type garbage and smash their keyboard every way possible because their phonez interwebz upl0d3 is c4pp3d.
I'm hoping a few people on XDA are in the first batch of releases, that way the update can be spread out to everyone else on XDA.

This upload cap is not even a big concern for me although i do like my phone to be perfect. GET WIFI

I agree there. I'm hoping someone will package it all up nice and fancy like the last update and I can update sometime today. would be nice
FYI: I think some of us heard about this update from a moderator on the Sprint forum regarding 3g upload cap. That's at least where I verified this update was on the way over today and the next 3 days.

You have no idea how big of a deal it is to people like me. And 90% of the people who want to use this phone to upload pictures and files to various different places.

Ahh, begins at Noon EST.
Hope I get the push, I have DI07 but have root/cwm recovery and most of the sprint garbage-ware removed. I'll probably just get it in update.zip form from whoever gets it first on XDA

Wish they'd just make it a downloadable update...

12am
I think that's midnight the morning of, isn't it? I think one of us needs more coffee and I'm not sure who it is.

It would be much nicer if it was a download... I'm sure someone here will post it as soon as they get it!

It begins at midnight EST beginning 9/30/2010 not at Noon =p

3.1 update pulled mid release? -That's what Acer Support says. "New Build Tomorrow"

3.1 update pulled mid release? -That's what Acer Support says. "New Build Tomorrow"
So earlier today, I finally received my 3.1 OTA update notification....
I wasn't ready at the time to initiate it, so I declined, unfroze my bloat apps, un rooted, and then attempted to manually check for updates.
It says my device is "Up to Date"
Obviously, I hadn't updated, and am still on 3.0.1, so I called Acer tech support.
According to representative, Acer pulled the 3.1 update mid-release today. Supposedly due to a bug causing some devices to not take the update.
"They will be re releasing a new build of 3.1 later today or tomorrow" he said.
So here I sit, on 3.0.1, and am giving the community a heads up that they might be getting yet another OTA update. MAYBE. That's at least what was understood.
Anyone else having this issue? I know they're rolling out they update gradually, but I would have figured I would have been able to manually initiate the process.

I ended up having to download/install 4x before mine "took" yesterday, just hope they push an incremental update as well with a different build number.
One of the failures came back as an "invalid file" before it even rebooted into recovery; the other 2 fails were because I hadn't rolled back all of the system files I'd replaced.
Maybe they're fixing the "invalid file" issue?

I had the same trouble today. Yesterday evening and this morning, I was able to update to 3.1 OTA. But as i had no time to do this, I was expecting to do the update this evening.
And now, it says that my device is up to date. (3.0.1)
I will wait tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up. I was wondering why I could not update to 3.1 today

Well that makes sense. When I was installing the update it took me 6 attempts: 4 times it just stopped downloading and restarted randomly and once it said "installation invalid" or something along those lines. Thankfully it worked in the end, although Kobo reader doesn't seem to work at all anymore. Keeps FCing

Thanks for the heads-up. I ran the update after I got home from work tonight. I got some sort of error, and it booted back into 3.01 just fine. I manually checked for the update again, and now I'm getting "Your device is up to date".

Looks like I was right in a previous post where I said it'd be best to wait for 3.1.1!
And all those fanbois attacking me over it.. LOL!!

Weird- Mine said update was available yesterday evening and I did it and it worked (UK time). It shows as 3.1 now, but the file it downloaded was some weird file name containing 4.0.11 or soemthing similar? Must admit haven't played around thoroughly to see if there's any difference- waiting for weekend.
When they re-release do you think I'll get the 'fix' for whatever was wrong??

Depends entirely on what they're fixing. If it's just something to do with the updates failing, then why would they need to update devices that already have it?

True- I thought they'd just do a blanket update for all to get all tablets with the same 'build'- easier to maintain if needed- like they do at work for IT purposes.
Also I was not rooted, not sure if that would have made a difference! (I'm a basic user but learning through xda!)

I lost my opportunity to install 4.010.08. Two days ago I got the notice of an update. I tried to hold off as I wanted to see if I could capture the update and share it with others. After I got off work the next day and with some alogcat info I tried to check for updates and it was gone. Now I'm stuck on 3. 01 still. Hopefully they push out the update again as this time ill be ready.

I think they were supposed to push the update today, but I'm not seeing anything yet either. Anyone got any official word?

My is 3.0.1. I run the update check and it says "your device is up to date."
Would it let you update to 3.1 if it had been rooted?

Just chated with ACER support. Well, not exactly very knowledgeable, so I would take it with a pinch of salt. But, what I was told is the update will be pushed and can not be initiated from the user end and I should be getting it soon. Also it is Google and not Acer responsible for rolling out the update. Make of it what you will.

A new AT&T software update pending...

I just setup my AT&T s7 edge today. All has been great for the past 6 hours. Now my sm-g935a just downloaded a new at&t software update.
Anyone have this same update today or get this installed yet? Do we know what it includes? I will dig around for more details myself, maybe my phone was behind in updates.
UPDATE/EDIT: I think for me it might be a security patch. Noticing I am Android security patch level Sept 1, 2016. Is this the current?

Current AT&T patch for S7e is 11/01/2016. I checked last week and there was no update for Dec.

Good luck getting it to go through, I had to go to at&t online and have them force push the update earlier this week, then the touch on the phone went out and couldn't use certain parts of the keyboard. Replacement phone I got, they can't even get the update to force over.

And you still aren't up to date. There's an APK1 update from November that won't go through unless you call or chat with them. I gave up trying to get rid of it; the first S7 Edge I got on Christmas Eve, updated it to APK1 and rooted it, crashed 5 times in 10 days, then the touch sensor on the lower right went out. Then, tried to update to the October software, rooted, crashed, reset and Odined the September software, rooted, fine.

Why is it not allowed through or I'm not seeing it?

I have APK1, just got the phone today. I can root on APK1 right? Been searching for a few hours now and haven't found a definitive answer. If you could point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I considered rooting to uninstall all the junk ware. It seems though it can be somewhat risky. Plus it seems to give some buggy results and given the s7 is not perfect in any way, I'm personally settled to just leave it the way it is. Was hoping that update I saw last night was a prelude to a nougat upgrade.

I just came from the Note 7... Well I still have it... Anyway I don't mind buggy processes and or Idc about tripping Knox either lol. This phone is gonna be my play phone till the Note 8 comes out :cyclops:

[Q] Verizon Galaxy S7 Nougat update.

Hi everybody.
Do anybody know when Verizon Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge Nougat update and reason to delay?
I cannot make sense ever major provider(such as AT&T,Tmobile,Sprint) is updated but Not Verizon.
Thanks.

I wouldn't be surprised if Verizon didn't get the update until after the announcement/release of the S8.

Yep. It's really disappointing.

Why? Because f**k us, that's why!
Likely just an issue of them taking their sweet-assed time putting their bloatware applications into the firmware, and I'm sure they've been extra slow after the official 7.0 worldwide rollout started and was halted for a whole like 2-3 days after a couple of bugs surfaced.

I always get a new phone by the time Verizon gives me an update. I know someone that got nougat on his T-Mobile GS7 Edge and someone that got her GS7 update last night on Sprint.

I don't think it's related to Verizon bloat considering the turbo 2 is getting the update now. I'm really annoyed that one of the top selling, highest rated phones of the year is taking this long to update.

This! Get it together verizon, every other S7 is getting the update why aren't we? Kinda furstrating and makes me want to leave verizon or starting purchasing unlocked models so I can root them and get updates on a regular basis instead of waiting for Verizon to release an official.

Verizon has always been one of the last (if not the last) to roll out updates.

It would be nice to receive the final update after being stuck on the beta for months, where every time my phone shuts off it resets all my settings and themes. But oh well, I guess Verizon just doesn't care about their customers all that much.

US Mate 9 (C567)

Official Oreo for the US Mate 9 is now on firmware finder, build is MHA-L29 8.0.0.312 (C567). I used firmware finder and tried to install but get the update is not authorized error and can't install. Any ideas on how to bypass the check without rooting or installing twrp? Or since the official non beta Oreo is out there should I just be patient and wait on Huawei to authorize this room and push it out to our devices?

It showed up on the "stock" update, for my U.S. version of the Mate 9 Thursday morning.

Gonna wait till another week or so and try to hit the "check for updates" button to see if I'll be able to get it on my C567

Still hasn't shown up on mine yet

I wasn't really expecting it. I figured, with the roll out of the Mate 10, it would be a couple weeks til they officially
pushed it to the USA version of the Mate 9.

Nothing here at all for my C567. Sitting on B190 as well. Checked for updates via OTA and via HiSuite on the computer.

Tried to o get an answer from Huawei on when it would be rolling out to the rest of the US models but they were absolutely no help whatsoever, just canned responses that didn't tell me s***, guess I didn't really expect much else. Huawei really needs to step up their game, especially with timely security updates if they want any kind of real market share here in the US.

Nothing here either

Totally! I called them yesterday and they gave me the same BS. This is my first Huawei device and I've seen that the IMEI needs to be whitelisted. So that's what I called for. The guy told me that the updates came from my carrier. Yet I told them at least 5 times that I bought it from Newegg unlocked. And they couldn't give me an sweet other then the US Mate 9 site itself.
I seen someone say they contacted Huawei through Facebook and they suddenly got updates 0.o

If the guy told you that updates come through the carrier he is trying to feed you a big line of BS. Since no US carriers support our carry Huawei products. All updates for Huawei phones come from Huawei, even the Chinese varieties. And that whitelisting thing is also a lot of BS. If Huawei wants to break into the US market they need to fix this garbage.

Nothing here yet as well.
