Hey All,
When I bought my N6 in September, it was already enrolled in the Preview program. I got 7.0 immediately after release... but I have yet to receive any of the security patches.
I know, I can find the factory images and such and flash, but this is the first device in 14+ years (going back to the Toshiba e800) that I haven't tinkered with... yet. Google is supposed to keep OTA'ing them for another year or two, is my understanding
So, just wondering, anyone else still stuck on 10/16 security patch?

Umm no. The nexus 6 is EOL. The only thing you ma get is security patches but as you can see those are not always available. If you want to stay up to date you will need to flash the image.

I know that. And that is what I said. I know I can flash the images... I'm asking if anyone else is still stuck on the Oct patch through the OTA system. Google supposedly promises them for another year past EOL.

I know a few people that have never even gotten a single OTA the entire time they have owned the device. Yet they are not worried about it. Most of the security updates are a joke really.

I mean absolutely no offense, but your answers aren't very helpful. Perhaps some people could care less about the OTAs, but I do- and I'm sure that I am far from the only one. As to their efficacy, I'd rather have an official security patch than not.

Then by all means flash the update. OTA have always been touchy. I have been sitting right next to someone else when they got an OTA to the same device and I never saw it.
That is why we here at XDA long ago gave up on OTA and advise people to do it for themselves if they have the ability (nexus users).
No offense taken at all. Been around to long to take offense to things posted on the interwebs
Hey, my phone got updated this morning! Was it Oreo? No...no, it was a security patch. Are we getting Oreo before the G7 comes out or is it not looking too good for the G6?
Not really sure why everyone is so impatient about getting Oreo. 7.0 works fine and we are getting security updates. What doesn't work that requires Oreo? I'm happy to wait.
given the issues that tmo seems to be having with the oreo update, im very much ok with waiting for it. 7.0 works quite well and we are getting the security updates.
Interesting because I'm not getting the updates and am actually still on December's patch

This update is rolling out in waves. The last update was the December security patch so nothing unusual here. It will come to you eventually.
Android Authority reports the US Verizon G6 got Oreo today. T-Mobile is usually the last among US carriers to get major OS updates, so I suspect we'll get it in July.

I believe it is because T-Mobile does so much mucking around with the MFG's FW. I think they monitor the apps you install, block tethering apps (at an OS level), and do other things that are not good and add bloat.
I am rooted and waiting for Lineage or another to become more stable and I am ditching T-Mobile's FW releases.

have you tried oreo 8.1? it does run alot smoother then 7.0 , better notifications. and picture-n-picture is pretty sweet
Got the update today. Seems pretty nice so far. Cleaner. Nice little touches here and there. Even freed up some much needed space. Only thing I'm noticing is a good bit of lag in chrome especially when typing.

You getting the update through lg bridge? And does anybody know of an unlocked bootloader would effect the update process?

It was OTA. Popped up late the night before I made that post. As long as you're not rooted or modified any system files, I don't think an unlocked bootloader will affect an update.
And a lot of the lag cleared up. Just some FC issues with some games at first start. Still don't have great wifi or cell reception with this phone.
I just got the October security patch with the latest software update ARJ5, I for what I've read it is supposed to bring a substantial upgrade for the camera. But the thing is (I'm using Verizon software BTW) when I downloaded the update it didn't mentioned anything referring to the camera. Even entering the Verizon official site there's no information whatsoever regarding the cam. Anybody has received this update and seen an upgrade in the camera?

Kinda crazy that Verizon didn't spell out what the change was, or list the size like they normally do.
Anyway, someone over on r/GalaxyNote 9 checked prior to, and after update and stated that the camera app revision did change. Camera version before the update was 8.5.05.19, camera version after the update is 8.5.05.25. I didn't think to check myself.

Oh yeah, I checked and mine is 8.5.05.25
It's weird that Verizon didn't listed the changes but anyway. At least they're updating.
As the title suggests, I'm on the T-mobile Note 9. I was looking around online for a Pie update and found this page. I thought I'd share for those who hadn't seen it.
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-39346
Apparently, there are three different statuses: Development, Testing and Complete.
As of yesterday, the Note 9 was still in Development. Today, it is in the Testing mode. Lets hope we're getting pretty close to the release!
EDIT 3/2/2019
According to the above link, the device is still in TESTING. In this document, Android 9 Pie HAS BEEN released as of 3/1/2019, but only to a limited audience. Not sure if this is a test group or what's going on.
EDIT 3/3/2019
Hi everyone. Please keep this on topic. The reason I made this thread is to provide a reference (T-mobile users) on the status of the update. If you need assistance getting back on the OTA track, please create your own topic. Furthermore, this thread is meant for users on the T-mobile SM-N960U, "probably not" the SM-N960U1 , which I know nothing about. Thanks!
EDIT: 3/4/2019
According to the document I originally posted, the phase of the update has now changed to COMPLETE. Hopefully, I'll have it by the end of the week, but we shall see how long actual deployment takes. The document provided in the 3/2/2019 update of this thread does not detail any further updates past 3/1/2019.
I just checked for updates. A security level patch level February 1, 2019 is now downloading. Size 1867.41 MB. Versions: N960USQU1CSB3 / N960UOYN1CSB3.
EDIT: 3/5/2019
I'm now on Android Version 9 / N960USQU1CSB3.
First Impression: I do not like the fact that the time clock is moved to the left side. They should've kept it where it was. I'll be looking for a way to change it.
I'm hoping it comes out next week. Att already has it, so I dont know what's taking them soo long to release it for tmobile
My wife's S9+ got the update today from TMobile. I'm surprised that S9+ got it first before Note 9.
Today it shows its moved to testing, hoping to get it soon now.

Been like that all week.
My guess you won't see any updated to the Note 9 till long after the S10 is in stores. T-mobile is a crap company and this is how they do business. They will hold the update till we have had many weeks to look at the S10. T-mobile want you to spend the money on the upgrade. It's the 25th of February this update has been available on unlocked devices for nearly a month. AT&T has had it on their Note 9 for a few weeks already.

If any part of what you said was even remotely true, then they wouldn't have pushed the update to their S9/+. Note 9 owners aren't the target audience for the S10/+
Imo keep Oreo untill the next Pie update at least. It has bugs and if you just got the device there may be things you want but aren't on Pie.
Updates are fine but OS version changes I let others be the guinea pigs...

Just talked to a Tom rep, they stated they were sorry about removing the note o update and that they were in process of approving a new update that would release in March but that he was not sure. Smh

Assuming similar as the U1 update not dropping until March as well
This is depressing
However, I did update mine manually using the OTA that is posted. Could wait for T-Mobile.
Went fairly smooth. Couple minor issues, one with Google Home. Home would crashed every time I opened it. In the end, a factory reset brought everything in line.
I would recommend this upgrade to anyone and I would also recommend just side-loading it like I did.
Pie is ugly and slow

Ugly can be changed with a theme but then again ugly is subjective.
As far as speed .. it actually behaves faster on my 9 then Android 8.x did. Not sure what you are running on yours that would slow it down so much.
Been on Pie now for a week. Love it. Better battery life, faster in almost every aspect. Didn't wanna wait for TMO to push it so went the firmware science route.
Haven't experienced any issues that have been reported, quite the opposite for me. I personally prefer pie over Oreo, but that's just me. Now if only, they fix the Swift installer app to work with Pie (unrooted) now.
Saw this on Droid Life just now...

I'm on CSAA will it be able to OTA to the least tmobile on release?
I am currently on Tmobile with the version N960U1UEU1ARL1, would i have to wipe my device if I download the update manually? In any case, I can't seem to find my version on the Firmware Science form so do i just have to wait for the unlocked version of the update or am I eligible for TMOBILE's
I am confused, on the official T-Mobile update page, it lists N960U1UEU1CSB3 as the build number for the update. I thought N960U1UE specifies it's for the unlocked N960U1, where as carrier builds for the N960U are N960USQ?
I have the SM-781U AT&T locked model. The last OTA update it's received was June 2022. Up until that point it got them like clockwork.
Anyone know of common things that could be preventing OTA updates? I may have disabled something that is needed, though as far as I remember, I hadn't really been disabling stuff since the first month or so I had the phone, in 2021.
I tried doing a logcat when requesting an update check, but nothing jumped out at me. If anyone has anything to look for there, I will try it again!

hello colleague
we are almost the same, I have G781U Unlocked. (TMB)
but all the updates I have to do by pc odin.
I'm about to install the February patch but with the DSH system.
I already tried with USC - TMB
but the updates via ota never arrive.
I had looked into the Odin method, didn't find AT&T G781U firmware (only G78U1) and I don't want to lose anything like hotspot, wifi calling, or visual voicemail, so I haven't taken that plunge yet.

Luck
if someone can say why not, we get the update via ota.
If you can not fisn the firmware on Frija or samfirm, it does not exist for your csc and/or model. You can flash another csc using Odin without disabling Knox.

Has anyone figured this out yet? My AT&T S20 FE SM-781U hasn't received an update for 13, not to mention, my last security patch was October last year.
Is there some sort of base Android 13 that can be downloaded and manually installed? If there is and I can find out how to install it, I will do it haha.

Not that I could find (Also, sorry about the slow to reply thing haha) It's driving me insane because
my last update of anything, was in Oct 2022 when I got Oct security update.
Seems like everyone is getting this update around the globe. I can't afford to buy a newer phone, so
I really want this one to last as long as possible. But I am pushing it to have so much important and
sensitive information, on a phone that hasn't updated the security in 6 months haha.
I haven't installed a custom Rom in years, all the way back in something like, Galaxy 7+ (I am not 100%
certain on that) and it would destroy me to brick my phone, or lose very important information.
With that said though... Are there custom Android 13 Roms floating around now? I am not very good at
navigating these forums and finding correct info. I'm older and have Early Onset Alzheimer's, which at the
moment, isn't to big of an issue. But, it does make tasks like these much harder than they use to be.
But I am desperate and I know I have got to get this updated for my security and welfare. As I said, there's
no way I can't afford another phone, not even used or refurbished. So, at the moment, I sorta have
my hands tied. I am sure there's a thread somewhere with the answers, but after weeks, I cannot find
a thread, speaking on this situation.
If someone could at least point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks for the reply above.

If this device has more updates, but not in your region, just flash a different csc. Do you see any update with a different csc. I have some devices on android 9, so it’s rlly no biggie if there is no more.
