No updates since March - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

My Unlocked Note 8 was in the Pie beta and in March, it got 2 updates. I think the final was supposed to get me to the final build of Pie. But since then, checking updates just says I'm up to date.
I'm on N950U1UEU5DSC1/N950U1OYM5DSC1/N50U1UEU5DSC1 Security patch level: March 1, 2019. Kernel version 4.4.153.
No matter how many times I check for updates, nothing is offered.

Actually, the SmartSwitch app installed to my PC worked to just get me to the May 1st update.

Can't get latest AT&T updates

AT&T is showing latest security update as August 2016, but I am unable to get it on my device. My phone is currently on T-mobile so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. I have tried updating through the phone, and also smart switch, and both say up to date. Are any others on the june security update or have you got the latest august update. Thanks in advance.

From my knowledge, you can only receive updates if you are on AT&T. To update please refer to this thread. However, flashing will result in data loss, so be sure to backup.
I've been able to get these updates even though I was on tmobile in the past. I didn't have any issues with the marshmallow update through WiFi as well, but the latest security patches have been no where to be found.

You don't want those updates trust me.
They lock your phone down from you.. the end user.
You are not any more secure with those updates.
Actually you are less secure and more prone to full identity and activity disclosure with At&t and Google's " 3rd party affiliates ".

April Security patches for N6 on AT&T

Hi All,
I am currently using my N6 (AT&T version) on the following 7.1.1 build: N6F26U
Do I upgrade to N6F26R, N6F26Y to get April updates? I thought Google was going with unified builds. I have no idea if I am even on the correct build anymore.
There are two 7.0 and one 7.1.1 factory image on the download page, all three of which are dated for April. Download the 7.1.1 image to be current.
Sorry, I was talking about the OTA packages. Not looking to do a factory reset.
I loaded both (I was still on the Jan 5 release) but N6F26Y is probably the one you need.

Update G935AUCS4BRA1

My AT&T SGS7 edge was updated to 4BRA1 last night. Besides the January 1 Android security patch, does anyone know if there's anything else different I should notice with this update?
Not noticing anything new, although I expect if I dug deeply a few preloaded apps may have been updated. With a 40MB update, can't expect much besides the security patch.

Heres what the ATT Update site says: Android device security updates, including Meltdown and Spectre migration patches (on SPLs Jan. 1 or later)
If you ever want to check out the updates, you can always find it here: https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tut...tep_KM1135854?make=Samsung&model=SamsungG935A
Hope that helps...
Can i update from G935AUCS4API2 (6.0.1) directly to G935AUCS4BRA1 via ODIN and will it wipe my data and would you recommend to factory reset if yes then before update or after update?

Unable to update my Nokia 7 Plus to the latest Android Pie

So 2 month ago, I had registered for the developer Preview of Android 9 on the official website. Got the regular updates until September 1st. Yesterday, we got the official release of the android Pie and I tried to download it. After downloading the 1.4GB update and restarting my phone, it says that the update failed. But when I attempt to check for the latest update, it tells me that I have the latest release and the date the last security patch is on 1st September. Customer care wasn't of any help, so I was hoping you guys would know what's going on here
Cheers
try to clear data of google services framework, restart your phone and check again
Happened to me as well as my cousin who was on Oreo. It shows update failed but we are both on Android 9 with build number 3.22C (0WW_3_22C).
After checking out the new build, there is no change in latest beta and the Android 9 update, I think they have pushed the same ROM with some certifications. All the bugs that was on last beta still persists on this stable build.

Stuck on November 2022 update

Hello, my unlocked 4a5g on Tmo is stuck on the November 2022 update. I contacted Google support, they only suggested powering off the phone or a factory reset. Powering it off didn't work and I'm not at the point yet to reset the phone. I have also tried checking for updates in Safe Mode, clearing caches, and checking for updates after taking the SIM out. It does seem like other people are experiencing this as well according to Reddit so it might be a Google or Tmo issue, but I haven't seen any news about updates being held up. Any way to verify if it's my phone or an external issue?
I have the same issue... you can sideload the images if you ae anxious.
I also have not received OTA updates since November 2022. I sideloaded the manual OTA update in December and again in January. Will I ever be able to get OTA updates again?

Did you turn off automatic system updates in developer options?
