Verizon(locked), today

Does carrier matter if you using an unlocked device bought directly from from Samsung?
Im using on Metro PCS but no Dec update yet..

No, we need to wait for the U1 update to be released witch has typically been the last to be released. I believe these are the U versions being referred to here. Also everything new on Sammobile is the U so far. It shouldn't much longer for us.

I'm using it on project fi and no December update yet either.
I also have U1 version.

Note 960U 8\512 US Spectrum nothing since November 1, 2018.
I may not update until my Bixby Button and Navbar App's are updated!

Have not receives any updates since November update too on Sprint using unlocked model. It seems either Sprint or unlocked version always receives the updates last in the US.

I ended up using the firmware.science to update to pie. That bumped me up to December update automatically on pie. I also get to keep the Unlocked firmware without any bloatware and the rom is rocksolid stable.

After reading from users how the pie update takes away functionality and is full of bugs, I'm fine with them delaying the rollout.

Since it is unlocked, U1, the update came from Samsung. not att. It was a minor security patch that brought security up to the December patch.

That is what I was thinking until if you check the bottom portion of my screen shot it states ATT in the URL...
is this normal?

T-mobile Note 9 - Anyone got Pie yet?

Looking to see if anyone on T-mobile has Android Pie 9.0 yet, the official download. That, or does anyone know when it'll come?

Nope. Probably within the next month I hope.
In the US, officially not yet. I think Verizon was the first one to update the Note 8 to Android 8... I'm not sure how quickly T-MOBILE updated their phones

Just for reference,the Note 8 on T-Mobile didn't get a stable build until May '18 (April '18 version got pulled,buggy).
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-36189
Since the Pie update isn't even on T-Mo's radar yet,I'm guessing we're looking at an equally long wait:

I have the U1 device and upgraded to Pie using the same.method that is posted on the how to upgrade to Pie thread. I'm using T-Mobile for my service and everything works fine. If you do not want to ant to wait for the OTA then just follow the guide.

Why not use the u version leaked by att? Csa7 is fully supporting TMobile and works great.

Does it lock you into that firmware branch like the Note 8 was with the leaked Oreo builds?

Nope. No bootloader update yet for the note 9 so you are safe to downgrade back to Oreo or even over to u1 firmware if you'd like.

Do you know if you lose any T-mobile features?
Namely Wi-Fi calling?

Is the September security patch live for the S10 yet (SM-G973U1)?

I am assuming that Samsung does the monthly security updates...
It's monthly but it is usually not released till mid month each month. I have S9+ and updates I'm receiving are released closer to the end month.
Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk
Ah, okay. Sorry about the noob question. I just got the thing.
No but right now I'm getting my second update with the August 1 patch. This second one is larger than the first.
Yes, this is really strange as I already had the August Security Patch and got an update today and I thought it was the Sept patch but it seems to be a 2nd August Patch?View attachment 4817286

Anyone know of a way to turn off forced updates and just allow them when I want to install them?
On Sprint fw I had Sept1, after flashing U1 latest is Aug1 as of now.
I got the notification. I just wanted to be sure it works...

That is really weird, unless there were no such vulnerabilities.

anyone got an update for one ui 2.5 att?

As the title suggests, I haven't been able to find anything just tmoble
From what i understood while helping a few snapdragon users, AT&T firmware handling is done through them and not Samsung. Considering how snapdragon is a month or two slower on releases to Exynos, with AT&T you seem to get another layer of delay.
Nevertheless, you can always flash the Unlocked (SM-N960U1 XAA) firmware to it, but i would assume you'd lose a few AT&T features specific to their CSC.
Have been looking for any US based version of the update and still nothing yet. Hope we see something soon. I will be honest I want wireless DeX.
Weirdly, AT&T got 2.5 yesterday, before the unlocked one.

No SM-N9600 has got One UI 2.5 yet. The latest one is TGY (Hong Kong) ETJ5, but that's still One UI 2.1. We still have to wait for a FXXX firmware.
I'm on Spectrum and this is the latest in the month I've gone without an update. Im guessing there was a bug in first build, maybe thats why the release of the 2nd and the delay?
Have just used Odin to install the Sprint firmware on my Xfinity Mobile phone, install went smooth as silk, even Good Lock wasn't knocked out.

What country and carrier are you on? I don't see an update.
Mine came in this morning, US (SD) Unlocked on T-Mobile.
Just arrived on UK unlocked
Now if someone can figure out root on US snappy variants for this.....
Installed seems smooth and hope battery life stays the same

Are you on U firmware or U1? I'm on U1 with T-Mobile and don't show an update. I'm guessing that I'll need to flash back to the stock T-Mobile firmware.
Edit: reflashed back to stock T-Mobile firmware and the update is still not showing up.

Were you already on the Beta? Wondering if Beta testers get the Stable release first. Otherwise, i'll be sitting here all day keep hitting the update button. lol
Downloading now in the UK, looking forward to trying this out

Why won't Odin let you flash back to the official build? Are you using the official version of Odin or the patched version?

I tried patched and unpatched and several builds of odin. It just wouldn't move past the SetupConnection step. I finally got it to complete after changing absolutely nothing after the 15th try. Still no update available.

I was in the beta, and unfortunately I was wrong, what I got was just another beta build not the final
