Anyone with the unlocked snapdragon version on u1 firmware have camera issues? It has alot of focusing issues, and refuses to open sometimes. I've cleared cache and I've reset the app and data for app.
U1 model July update. No August update found
I have the unlocked U1 snapdragon but i'm on the 2ASGF firmware August patch i don't have those issues you described. Perhaps you'll get an software update at a later time
Flashed August U1 on Sprint model and no issues here buddy.
All good here as well on the August update on my U1.
The August update for the U1 actually came out before the carrier updates for the first time since launch. You can probably find it using Frija or SamFirm but the latest updates aren't available in the XDA firmware threads.
I would make sure you aren't using a case or screen protector that might be messing with the camera sensor and also look at the camera settings--there are a lot of camera modes and settings in the software.

Just received the 8/21/19 update G9750ZCU2ASH2 for my SM-G9750 Snapdragon/Hong Kong. Update included a fix for the camera.
Not sure what it will fix but just received G975U10YM2BSGL right now.

Same here, just received an update today. It's still the August security patch, though. Nothing specific in the release notes.
Mhm, just got it on my Sprint phone flashed with U1.
Just got this. So far it's fixed

That's good. It would be nice if Samsung didn't use the same generic description for nearly every update and actually listed specific bug fixes and performance enhancements.

Same update that I got this morning. From what I've noticed so far, it fixed my Camera's focus issue. But I havent been able to find a full changelog other than the quick one it gives us on our phones

The last update I received was the August 1st patch. Is the unlocked version just being overlooked, or am I not receiving new updates?
I haven't gotten any updates either.

The last update to the u1 devices is AQH3. I have no idea why they havent updated.
Your options are do nothing, install a regular G950U rom and live with horrible carrier bloat and a package disabler, or root and run something debloated (done yourself or use a rom) and have 80% battery.

Just got an update today. It's funny, because a couple of days ago I reached out to Samsung of America, but didn't hear back. So I reached out to several Android reporting sites, and then all of a sudden we get an update.

try to check the updates manually, at least that's what i did
Yep, checked manually. Nothing.
I had an issue getting updates when I used Odin to install unlocked fw and didn't wipe afterwards. Is that the case here?
You can always go to Updato.com and search for G950U1 to dl and install from there.
I received the November security patch update last night as well.
installed the update on my s8+ while having substratum layers applied. stupid system keeps crashing, even on safe mode. had to restore to factory settings.

Hi,
My phone doesn't detect new security updates. I'm stucked at the August one and the Support says that it's normal.
What can I do?
Thanks!

Be happy that you have fully working software. Major problems have been introduced in the October Security update, and even more problems are in the Oreo beta. I'd recommend staying on 7.1.1 August.

It might be that in your region updates aren't available. If you're willing to take the risk, you can try registering for the oreo beta update. Personally I haven't had any issues with my phone, but that's me. You might not be so lucky

I'm talking specifically about the background tasks bug. Search the forums, it absolutely cripples the phone and requires a reboot twice daily to keep the phone running normally.

Unfortunately it isn't fixed in the Oreo beta, neither is the SMS receiving bug (although that can be resolved by installing a third party SMS app). The Oreo beta has also introduced a load of Bluetooth problems (connection issues, poor quality audio, remote buttons not working).
It is currently not known if HMD will actual fix the issues in the final Oreo build.
I have never experienced any of these issues.
One thing I wonder is what if you rolled back to 7.1.1 then upgraded straight to oreo beta (if that's possible)? I'm just wondering if the issue doesn't have something to do with 7.1.2
Hey guys I recently sideloaded the latest oreo beta version on my s8 and now I am wondering if when the oficial oreo 8.0 comes out I will be able to get it OTA or will I have to use Odin to go back to BQL1 and then do the OTA update? I am obviously not part of the samsung beta program.

Mine is working fine too, and no, it didn't got wiped. I was just wondering if after the oficial Oreo release comes out I can just do the OTA but i guess I will just figure it out when it comes out. (Is probably going to be a while)

Theoretically, we are strongly advised to wipe out everything and start from scratch. However, I would rather do it once Oreo is out.
I couldn't help noticing an error occurred during the installation process, some SYSTEM folder or partition that couldn't be mounted due to ACCESS DENIED. Perhaps this is something related with having the device encrypted?

Yes I remember I saw the error as well, but everything seems working fine so far. I have T mobile and I know that the release of Oreo is going to take a while because they are not even in the testing phase yet.
Do you think we're going to need to flash back to BQL1 and then Oreo? Btw which Baseband version you have installed? I got ZRA6

I have ZRA5, which comes from the leaked build shared a couple of days ago. It has January 2018 security patch and build date is 01/09/2018 22:49:09.
Are you sure you have ZRA6? Perhaps you have different build from a different source. If that is so, where did you get it?
Thanks!

Yes I am positive I have ZRA6 I got it from: https://samsung.firmware.science
I came across this website looking for ways to update to Oreo. I understand that all the firmware versions he has in the website are officially released by Samsung (including the Betas), the only downside is that he does not specify which software is which, you have to know the baseband versions you are installing.

That site only featured the build intended for the Snapdragon variant of the S8, also known as 950U. If you installed that build on your 950F I'm surprised you haven't bricked it.

Thats the thing, my phone is 950U not 950F sorry I did not specify that little detail. Thats why I was able to install throught the sd card with no trouble at all.

Best of luck my friend. It seems as though it should go well, but Sprint and Essential seem to be desperate to patch this situation.
Oktober Update
Developer Settings/ Essential Noch-Settings
Set default for all applications
Set per application
I record an unintentional reboot of the system after this update, but otherwise ist all stable and OK here in Austria.
I have the sprint one and everything works fine. Consistently.
No issues here. Update took longer to install than I expected, but everything working fine on my end (straight talk/at&t sim)

backed up my data. grabbed Oct 2018 OTA from Essential's site
rebooted in recovery, sideloaded OTA
after reboot, SIM still unlocked
I can't speak for downloading the OTA from the phone itself, but the above steps worked for me
I flashed via BTS, and twrp + magisk. Then I found I lost wifi. Cannot start WIFI.
Also, I uses TWRP-SEP.img. Or I will have no touch. Any hint?
very smooth battery life improved very slightly mostly standby time and speaker min volume has decreased quiet a bit which is a very nice change and now we even got notch settings which is pretty dope in my opinoin
i was hoping notch settings would fix wabbitemu's incompatibility, but it didnt.

If you're already on September, update and you're not "simlocked" you should be fine updating to Oct, build. I have a Sprint variant, and I have service through T-Mobile. After I updated to September, build I got "simlocked". Thanks to the XDA modem swop, I unlocked my device, and updated to September, build without issues.
The only problem I am having after updating to September, build, is after attempting to root my device. I lose the ability to connect to WiFi. But after re-flashing my device fastboot, I am able to connect WiFi. Anybody else?
I have the unlocked version, but am using Sprint. Still waiting for the October update. Or new cables to arrive so I can sideload it. Whichever comes first. (Just got this phone Monday. It's my first USB c device. Ah, the new accessories to invest in too...)
Any changelog or improvement?
Hi there i have the unlocked sprint variant, im on pie so it is safe to update to the oct update? I heard the locking problems on september update. Thanks for your time

If you have service through another carrier other than Sprint, and you have a Sprint variant, Essential Phone, and you haven't updated to September, update, but you would like to update to October, update, I wouldn't update to October update.
But if you have already updated to September, update, without issues? You should be fine updating to October.
If you ultimately want to update, and you unfortunately get "sim-lock" ? There are very credible fixes available in the threads of XDA for the essential phone to unlock the notorious SIM lock issue. Good luck!
Hi there I just updated to october update from Android Pie realese and I have a sprint variant PH1 unlocked and still fully unlocked. It is working great. Now I just need root it again. Thanks for all the support
Has anyone been able to find a full changelog for the ASD8 update? Just got it this morning and I havent been able to find any full changelog except for the little vague one Samsung released.
Am on ASD5 still , didn't receive updates , you can check the link in the update option
Runs cooler now I think.

I didn't get it either so I tried to manually updating it from firmware.science and that was a no go. I get an error so I guess it's only from when you're updating from asd3 and I'm still on asd5
Odin? It doesnt discriminate against current FW

You should see an update soon on U1. Att finally updated to the May Patch, so the U1 may show up soon. The April patch showed up shortly after all the carriers released.
That said, on the S9, the U1 only got quarterly updates. You may end up waiting longer on U1.

What does that thread say of Q?
Q hasn't dropped yet, so unless you have a pixel, your unlikely to have access to Q.
On the S9/+, we got the P beta October or November if I remember correctly. Pretty sure it was August before Pie was official. Samsung doesn't usually dabble in the betas, they wait for the official before they start their beta process.
