!0n update content? Problems?

I see at least one thread reporting wifi issues after 10n. Anyone know the content of this update or other problems with it? I didn't take the update so I'm curious as to whether I should unfreeze and let it go. Not running a custom ROM yet, just TWRP and root.

i'm having problems wifi calling

Breaks Wi-Fi calling when used with xposed...other than that update is a beast

Yup. Just having XPosed installed with no modules breaks WiFi Calling.
But otherwise the update is great. All Stagefright cases are patched, and doubletap-to-wake works consistently now.

For me wifi isn't as strong, if in back yard I get many 081 unable to connect to wifi calling, where prior always connected in my yard. But overall the update is an improvement and won't be rolling back just because lose wifi calling at times.

WiFi in general is still pretty awful for me. Lots of dead connections or disconnects on WiFi. I saw others having issues with Comcast WiFi. Really annoying, wish I could find a legit fix or more info.
Will be wiping soon to see if that improves. Otherwise the update is good. Phone still runs less than it should on clunky LG interface. Aosp is missed.

Oreo for AT&T out now!

It's about time

Is this for Moto Z2 or Moto Z2 Force?

Moto z2 force

You should be able to get the ota soon. They are probably rolling it out

It looks like AT&T has formally announced the upgrade. https://thematridox.com/2018/02/23/moto-z2-force-on-att-getting-android-8-0-oreo-upgrade/

I just got the update and phone is now using Android 8.0.

works well
Update was smooth, no wi-fi issues, and fast boot time! Very pleased thus far. AT&T...about time!! Now, when will we get 8.1? Just saying...

Any way to receive the update overseas? Thanks!

Ever since the update, my bluetooth has been incredibly unstable/buggy, anyone else experiencing this or know what I should do?

Same here with BT issue. My car is now taking long time to connect to my phone. Sometimes, it does not connect at all. Before update to 8.0, connection with car was fast and worked all the times.
I submitted a question to AT&t forum about this issue, no response. I came across posts in Google forum, releases 8.1 will fix BT issue. So, just live with it .... until 8.1 update.

Must be AT&T only. Been running pure stock Sprint for reference on my kernel builds for the week and haven't run into that issue.

What is the download link?
Someone uploading the download link of android 8 par z2 force at & t to install manually

Did you factory reset after update? I just got my force last week and sat through all the updates until I got to Oreo and promptly did a factory reset. No bluetooth problems to speak. Actually it works MUCH better than my Moto X Pure that it replaced.
FYI my car has two BT connections, one for phone and one for media. It connects to both quicker than the MXP connected to even one so I'm happy with the BT performance.

anyway to get this for those of us not on AT&T? download and toss on the phone ?
Thanks

please someone to upload the ROM stock 8.0 to update manually from

Wait.. 960u1 is unlocked yes? Isn't the updates from Samsung? I mean we have the same hardware and same software. FM should work, it's not dependent on the carrier while WiFi calling night be.

FM live radio is not carrier dependent and does work on the latest update.

So this update repeatedly caused my GS9 to freeze and reboot, kept getting System UI and Samsung Pay Framework has stopped working messages. Finally it reboot and when it came back up, half my **** has been reset to factory. Nova is back to defaults with no backups (I did have at least one saved for my layout), my navbar buttons were put back to defaults, volume set back to default, brightness back to default, even some apps back to their defaults like Chrome.
I am on Tmobile and I know that they had problems with the May patch so they stopped rolling that out but holy ****. I am so damn annoyed that I now have to set all this **** back up again after a SECURITY PATCH. Not even any new features.
Smfh, just be wary if you are on the GS9 from Tmobile and havent updated yet. Prepare to possibly run into problems and back up what you can. Going to spend around 2 hours setting everything up again and reorganizing my apps.

Thanks for the warning. I remember a few years ago on my Galaxy Alpha every device software update used more RAM - the Operating System got larger and a little slower although it was a fast phone.
I am using a TMo S9 which I just got a few days ago ....and noticed the HUGE size of the update.
I have great battery life using a Tmo S9 on Metro PCS - possibly because most of the automatic Apps that load from TMO never loaded because it was never on the Tmo Network [ brand new ].
I noticed one bug that the Phone App is supposed to switch to a pop up [ like Note and Alpha ] if you want while using other Apps or Internet during a call- call turns into an Icon which you can move OR touch again to get full screen- [ it's in the options on the dial screen ] - BUT the update does not fix that or other bugs apparently.
See menu below for' pop up option '.
Great on Note and Alpha for calls when you need to jump on Internet quick during a call..but does not work on S9 ...
One description said the Update aids in' Camera Stabilization ' and security but I think the Camera is just so people will accept download ..lol.
Any decreased battery life or radical differences in Operating System having a much larger O.S. and having less free RAM ?
That's what hapoened with Alpha ..it just slowed down a hair ... less RAM .
Why do they need almost .8 Gig ?

My G960U1 is on a T-Mobile, still on February update(Just this morning received the following update).
(G960U1UES2ARF4/GG960U1OYM2ARF4/G960U1UES2ARF4 696.28MB) Not yet updated.
WiFi Calling - Works
Minimize App down to Icon - Works
Minimize Call App to Icon - Works
(You just need to know how to do that)
=====================
1•During a call, split the screen.
2•Choose the app you want to use during call.
3•Select a Call App.
4•Press on Split Menu.
5•Place Call App on the top layer
(Now you can move it around the screen).
6•Tap on Minimize Button
(Now you can move the App Icon around the screen).
Or even do the opposite, put another app on top of the Call App(See attachment).
You can do that with most of the apps.

FM Chip is ACTIVATED/UNLOCKED
UPDATE!
I did an update as soon as I got to the WiFi.
The first thing that I checked was the FM Chip using NextRadio. "Listen To FM" appeared and was able to use "Basic Tuner" to tune to local stations.
Some people say here that FM Chip still doesn't work.
Make sure you plug in your headphones. Because without it it will NOT work.
Have not tested anything else so far. Maybe will update this post in the future.

I have t-mobile and updated 2 nights ago and it's been working good for me so far. No hickups or anything that I've noticed. GS9+

Ffs will they ever fix the **** battery life of the exynos chipped phones ?

I'm on Exynos S9 UK unlocked and was happy to see that I now have VoLTE after the update, even get a little "HD" call quality icon when using it. Network is EE.

Thanks- yes I see that and can shrink it to a functional mini dial screen or down to Icon - very good.
Have you noticed any problems with the ARF 4 Update - I am stalling it cause my S9 is very very good on battery - SOT very long and I am afraid ARF 4 will change that.
ALSO - the one user who h.g ad trouble with ARF 4 - there is an even NEWER update now ...go right to that one maybe nefore resetting everything (?).
Anyway - I hope these Updates are efficient so they don't heat up the phone AND NOT add background processes which can't be stopped.
Meaning - don't show up in Battery Stats but increase Device Idle current draw on Battery etc .
Baraban - I have the SAME Tmobile Device but use on Metro and am stalling the Update because:
My performance ESPECIALLY SOT on 4GLTE is very very good .
Are you getting great SOT on your Device and that's why you did not Upgrade ?
750 meg for security patches sounds odd to me...
Not a Dev but somehow I don't think I need it if phone working great now ...lol.
I have no sensitive Info on my phone...

SQU5DSDA Update for June 3rd Changelog?

Received an update today for my VZW S8. S/W version ends with SQU5DSDA. This looks to be a bit more than a security patch update but there's no change info anywhere yet. I'm hoping this addresses my battery drain issue. Anyone find any change info?
Kernel is 4.4.153 dated May 14th.
Full Build No. is PPR1.180610.011.G950USQU5DSDA
Thx!

EOL for the XZ2?

XZ3 got 52.1.A.3.92 (August/September) while we're stuck on 52.1.A.3.49 (July). I think this is it unless they're just being lazy or skipping updates. Coincidentally the XZ3 came out October 2018 whereas the XZ2 came out in April 2018. The XZ1 stopped updates exactly 2 years after it came out, but one can still hope.
At least their newer devices (Mark II) have combined packages for regions unlike everything before it which is nice. No idea why they had to have 42 different versions with varying degree of update schedules for so long. One thing that still bugs me is why they have to have 2 versions per device instead of only having the option for just dual-sim which is way more cost effective since you can decide on either 2 sims or 1 sim + microsd. Their Mobile division has been suffering for so long so why they still do this is quite a mystery not to mention lock one or the other on a per-region basis. It must be a cultural thing or something.

Some regions of the XZ2/c/p devices got the 52.1.A.3.74 ~2020-08-24
But yes, I think that was the last one and only custom roms will give us future security updates.
(But only the SODP project gives us also security updates for the vendor partition.)
And yeah, nice to see that finally they reduce the amount of regions.

New firmware (52.1.A.3.137 ~ 2021-03-12) available for XZ3 and XZ2 family.

I believe for the time 52.1.A.3.137 is only available via OTA upgrade. I got OTA upgrade notifications on both XZ2 and XZ3.
One strange thing I got through is that I have a second XZ3 but the device hasn't got, at least yet, an OTA upgrade notification. I know that firmware time releases depend on carrier, software version etc but I have flashed my both XZ3 with the exact same 52.1.A.3.92 firmware in the past.
Both devices are 8416 model unlocked to any network and use the same carrier.
The only difference I found between two is that the one got the OTA upgrade notification for the 52.1.A.3.137 has "ETS Software Version :1313-0833_3A" and the other which didn't get any OTA has "ETS Software Version :1313-0833_5.
Anyway I am sure 52.1.A.3.137 will be released in the next few days on Xperifirm.

Xz3 will get full-screen mode? Is this just a security fix?

52.1.A.3.137 is now available on Xperifirm.

Anyone got any idea what this update is about? For some reason I can't find the security level on my XZ3 to check if it's a security level patch.

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my Sony Xperia XZ3 52.1.A.3.92 about sending WhatsApp audios. The problem is about an interruption of the voice after three seconds of recording, followed by silence. In a previous version of Android 10, I also had a really low volume, which has been fixed in my current release.
When I was notifyed by my phone about the new 52.1.A.3.137 version, I wondered if the WhatsApp bug had been fixed. Does anyone have informations about it?
I apologize for grammar mistakes, I am italian.

I just got 52.1.A.3.137 on my XZ2 Premium today and it nerfed half of my apps. Literally half of my apps either will not run or run for a few seconds and then exit. Of course, this was not the case before this update. Beware.

Try update apps.

Thank you for reporting your experience... Sony has released an incredible number of software versions full of bugs for its smartphones. My current release has some bugs, but I am getting kinda used to them.

I had the same experience with some apps on xz3. I think it is not about the firmware patch. It has to do with the android system Web view. Update it to the latest version 89.0.4389. 105(2021/03/23) and you should be fine. Hope that helps.

After messing with the phone for hours, I was able to remove the updates for the Google Play Services and Google Play. After they reinstalled themselves, everything was back to 100% normal again. Apparently, something about the firmware update was crashing my Google Play Services. It was really strange that some apps worked, no problem. But some apps would run once and then never again. Instead, they would either crash immediately or after a few seconds.
The problem I ran into at first was that Google Play Services wouldn't uninstall updates because it was in use or crashed. Once I was able to uninstall the updates, that triggered the system to install the latest versions and all was good again. Just glad I didn't do anything hasty like reset the phone before exhausting all else.

It is an essential fix for this bug with most XZ models including the XZ3 where you couldn't use Google Assistant hands free.
Made driving very dangerous for me hence the constant nagging, Sony acknowledged and finally brought the fix out.
Still waiting for the update here in the UK

Anyone saying the update nerfed their apps is probably overlooking the recent Google Webview breaking fiasco, just update your apps in Google Play Store or at least Google Webview, totally unrelated to the new Sony Xperia update imo.

OTA Update came through for me today as a 128.5 MB file size but will not install. Progress bar counts up the % complete increments but at the 100% complete stage it says "Could not verify" and then you just have the button again to tap on "Update" and start all over again. Restarting the phone a few times did not help either.

Probably your android attest key is missing.
Check your device status if it says "android attest key not provisioned".
That usually happens if you flash the device with newflasher and you didn't exclude persist.sin file.
This is really not a big issue as you can always download the firmware you want with xperifirm and flash your device with newflasher.
