Just searched for this device on the Wi-Fi Alliance site and this site lists the SM-T580 with Android 7, it got certified on the 7th of April.
wi-fi.org/product-finder-results?keywords=SM-T580&op=Search&form_build_id=form-E2SKAR_pL0qT-lyXzsaO3tC2FxauQYig4_Bdh2ULq1o&form_id=wifi_cert_api_simple_search_form
I'm wondering about what exactly more recent build numbers for Samsung phones mean in detail, and if anyone here has any further information to add, as I've found guides explaining older builds but not newer ones.
Take my current build as an example, G955WVLU1AQI3:
G955W: Canadian S8+.
VLU: I don't know, this changed to VLS sometimes and back to VLU for past OTA updates on this model.
1: I don't know, some releases bump this up, like G935W8VLU2APK3 for the Canadian S7 Edge. Both 1A... and 2A... firmwares were on 6.0.1 for the S7s.
A: Apparently changing this from A to B signified 6.0.1 to 7.0 for the S7s (such as in G935W8VLU2BQH1), so I'm guessing this represents Android version updates. I've heard open beta firmwares set this to Z.
Q: The year; Q is 2017, P is 2016, R will be 2018, etc.
I: The month; I is September, H is August, J is October, etc.
3: Probably a sequential indicator, since it can't be the day, as this OS was built on 11 September, not 3 September.
Hi Folks
Ive just picked up a pre-owned U Ultra, which is BNIB...
I bought it as Unlocked..
What is the latest Unlocked UK firmware and Google security patch?.
Thanks all
Allow me to answer, even though mine is a European unlocked single sim U Ultra...
Build #: 1.64.401.3
Security patch: 1st July 2017
Thank You friend.. Much appreciated for that, thats exactly what Ive got.. so thanks..
The reason I asked was when I look around the web and XDA all of the EU/UK updates state its still on 1.62.401.1.. I just wanted to check that someone hadnt installed a non-EU/UK rom.
So 1.64,, mustve been just the July security patch..
I know since the M8 / 9, HTC have done most of their updates over Google Play.. but July seems quite an old security patch for a 6 month old flagship device.
Thanks
You're welcome! I had the exact same question when I bought mine.
HTC is rather punctual regarding their updates. The only reason that can explain the security patch delay is the forthcoming oreo update. Fingers crossed...
I have a SM-n935S model and I am currently using it on the ATT network in the US. My security patch date is Aug 1st 2017. How do I get the newer security patches?

The model number you listed isn't one associated w/any model of the Samsung Galaxy Note FE.
I'm sure it's just a typo,perhaps you could take another look in Settings > About Phone & update us with a screenshot/etc...... of which model you have & someone here with the same model will likely chime-in soon. :good:

No apologies needed,glad you brought up the subject:
I have the SM-N935F/DS model & also still on the August 1, 2017 security patch:
So,I'm guessing all Note FE models are on the same security patch ATM,Samsung is definitely dragging ass on keeping current...........

If Samsung's word is to be taken @ face value, we should get Oreo & whatever dessert 'P' brings us...

How do you get updates for the FE if your not in Korea?
Can you also get them with a Belgian career like Base?

Oh, ok, that's interesting.
I'm definitely going to buy the Note FE then.
Do customs go through phones?
I remember reading something about customs not applying over electronics from the US to the EU.
Hi all - so I picked up a N910V and have hit a road block. Hoping someone has a solution because I love this phone. My employers BYOD program has some restrictions in place. I have to be running Android 5.5 or greater, security patch level of September 2017 or newer, and can not be rooted. Latest update that I've seen is from August. Do I have any options here or is this beauty hitting ebay?
