Security updates mean nothing. I want solution to standby drain!

The October 1 security patch lists fixes for 12 critical vulnerabilities, 32 high-level vulnerabilities, and 5 moderate-level vulnerabilities. That means something.

Disable things you don't use for now. Security updates obviously still matter regardless of other issues.

Got the October update on my VZW version this evening. So far so good. I've had camera freezing issues previously, haven't had a chance to test anything yet.

I'm with you. Don't care about security updates at all. I just want the stability, battery life, and wireless performance at peak level. System updates help with that.

From what I'm seeing on Reddit, camera version before the update was 8.5.05.19, and after the update it's 8.5.05.25. If accurate (I can't say, as I didn't think to check, myself), then this was part of the 400MB update (as reported on Reddit). The question is what others (non-Verizon) who got the updated camera "fix" have for the version.

Finally got the update on my unlocked.

Yeah they pushed ARJ5 for unlocked as well as carrier branded. They've really stepped up their unlocked game recently. S9/+ is getting monthlies now too. Over on that side, they even have Wifi Calling on VZW now.

Ugh I'm still on ARH6 on T Mobile...

Sprint rolled ARJ5 today. Xfinity is at ARJ6 (??). So only US Cellular and T-Mobile remain not updated.

Unlocked U1 no updates.

Depends on the carrier. U1 on VZW got ARJ5.

I didn't think U1 updates were carrier specific, thanks for the enlightenment. I'm on Sprint.

According to someone on the Samsung+ app. He said it's rolling out now. And I should have it before the end of the month.... Well see about that.
When pigs fly
Many users on carrier models are reporting bugs. Hopefully they're working them out for us US Unlocked users
Yeah honestly with all the issues being reported, I'm in no rush to receive the update. My Note 9 works flawlessly right now.
Swine flu
I have it on the unlocked flashed with T-Mobile firmware as I don't plan on switching carriers anytime soon. The unlocked gets it last as it has to wait for all the other carriers to update in case there is an update with the radios or something else but the beauty of unlocked is you can Odin any firmware you want at anytime as I did and go back if you want. The pie update is great so far with no bugs I can report. I've been running it since Saturday. I really like the new look and the battery is even better. Best bet is to factory reset after the update for a great experience as it's a new system. As for bloat ware, only 2 apps that can't be uninstalled and I use them (well one, the T-Mobile app, you don't need unlock app but it doesn't run in the background).
Pie for unlocked is here
I woke up, checked and Pie is available to download, unlocked here. Let's have fun!

i can confirm that pigs have been cleared for takeoff
And there we have it. Verizon being the slowest to release Pie. It seems like the unlocked version got this update the moment Verizon cleared it.

Question on updates

Just ordered the International 6GB version this morning and I had a question about updates.
I've read that different versions can get their updates at different times., and that sometimes a particular version might be well behind the others. I'm wondering if I should flash the U.S. firmware when I get the phone or if it's better to leave it with the one it comes with.
I'm on Straight Talk (using AT&T towers), so I'm not getting any of the VoLTE service in any regard, so the only reason to do this would be to get a firmware that has timely updates.
Any thought from those who've had the phone for a while?
I would leave it as is unless your compelled to change it. I'm on the H9493 TW version and still on February's patch. Some regions have moved to March already. It will come in the next few weeks.

Thanks for the reply. I had heard that the H9493 was a bit behind in other regions, but if it's only by a few weeks or so then I'm not too concerned. If it was more like a couple of months behind, then I would maybe look at flashing another region's firmware.
Looking forward to getting the phone. Was really tempted to last year, but the price kept me away. Now though, I picked up a brand new one on Amazon for only $629, which I believe is still cheaper than the U.S. model, surprisingly!).
I flashed the US firmware when I received mine (mainly for the T-Mobile VoLTE) and it gets updated pretty quickly. It has been a week or more since the March update came. Other than somewhat faster updates, I'm not sure if there will be any benefits for you though.

Yeah, I'm thinking I'll just hold off, since it sounds like the updates come fairly quickly, even if not at exactly the same time.
Well, we're a week into May and I'm still on the February patch.
Got to say, I'm not too impressed with Sony's update policy, at least for this version of the phone. Here's hoping something comes through sooner rather than later.

If it's the TW H9493 then something is up.
I received 52.0.A.8.14 on April 10 and 52.0.A.8.25 on April 30, both OTA

Yes, it's the H9493. I haven't received any updates since the initial one when I first got the phone.

Which, I take it, operates on a different update schedule than the rest of the H9693 models?
What a mess. If I didn't already have the phone set up the way I'd like, I'd just install a different regions firmware. Still may have to think about doing that as it doesn't look like I'll get any updates anytime soon.
They are all over the place with them because some get held up based on region. I had a few HK variants over the years and they did eventually catch up. The OEM updates frequently but the methodology is fractured.

Thanks for the info. I still may flash a different regional firmware if I have time this weekend. While it's a pain, it might be the best thing in order to get timely updates. I'll have to research the method to do it (I believe you can do it using Sony's own software), and whether this will wipe the microSD card as well as the phone data.
Sony software will only flash same regional software. You will need to use Newflasher. Read the instructions, it's not difficult..

pie for lg v40 at&t.

At&t just released pie for lg v40. It's very surprisingly that Korea haven't released pie yet and two companies released pie for v40.hmmmmm I hope pie for v30 comes in June
Where did you see that 9.0 Pie info, that might make me keep this brand new one, unbox and try it.
My wifes phone got the update but I have not yet. And I have some disabled apps. Anywhere I can download a manual update yet?
Did anyone who got the AT&T Pie update notice the size of it?

Thank you. I also saw AT&T hadn't updated their website. I was just curious because that was the fastest os update I've ever done on any cell phone. It almost seemed like a small security patch.

I have use numerous phones that have taken an update but dealing with the lg v40 I don't see any update pie looks exactly like Oreo. could have gave us the ability to install g cam without hunting down a cracked or hacked version does not even going to work fully.
I'll make a video and show everybody what to expect for those that have not gotten it yet

Yea no big change I agree with you.A few simple stuff
I don't have that sim and my wife does not either.. We are on the MVNO NET10. We have an at&t sim that is not currently active with service.. It was one I had gotten when we received the phones.. Will that help trigger an update even though there is no service on the sim?
Strange thing is somehow she got the update even though she didn't have an at&t sim in at the time

We in South Africa will get the Pie update only next month (July 2019). I asked for a official confirmation, but is so much a peep from them. My model is LM-V405EB.

Vodacom device Pie update already rolling out.
I have a Vodacom device but use it on Telkom. I further asked LG about the Pie update and they promised a response but up to now there is nothing.
I'm on T-mobile stateside and received Pie last week.
Sprint just pushed an update to their v40. They pushed the June security patch....They pushed a monthly security patch weeks after every other carrier has started pushing Pie. What an absolute farce.
