note 9 us unlocked version - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hi guys. Havent seen this yet so I want to start it. I'm on the beta for pie. It's been really stable. Has anyone else been part of the testing and if so have you gotten the official update. Who will be pushing it to us as I dont use a normal carrier and my carrier does not sell note 9. I could use a different firmware but I'm enjoying not seeing all the carrier stuff

If you mean the Note 9 purchased from Samsung itself, no no updates have been pushed yet.
FYI, Samsung unlocked devices are usually the last ones to get updates. They claim they need to test it with every carrier.
I have gotten from Samsung a S8+, Note 8, S9+ and a Note 9... All experienced the same update delay.

There's a 428 page thread dedicated to the Pie beta and leaked builds.
When the official Pie for the unlocked model is released, you'll get it via OTA since you're on the official beta.

Note 9 one UI update

Hello, new to this website
My mom and dad who live in India both have snapdragon versions of the note 9. They are unlocked. For some reason, they still haven't got the one UI update. Does anyone know when they should expect it to come to their phones?

They've been pushing the launch date forward quite often. At this point, Samsung dev team are a joke tbh! Note 8!!! got it ahead of the 9! W T F, seriously?!
They should get it soon. As the Pie update release date is different for every region. I am still waiting for the Pie update for my Note 8 N950N.

Question about updates

Hey XDA, I've got a question about phone software updates that maybe someone could enlighten me on:
What determines when a particular phone will get an update? I guess I'm not entirely clear on how updates are rolled out.
For example: I have a Note 9 that I bought refurbished. It was originally running the AT&T version before I flashed the unlocked firmware. I currently use the note 9 with unlocked firmware (no carrier specific bloat, just samsung and facebook stuff) on the TMobile network.
Since I've started using the phone I've always been about a month or more behind on the latest updates. Currently I am on the December 1st 2018 Security update and I have been patiently waiting for the Pie update. Who/what determines when I will get this update? Is it Tmobile, At&t or samsung
OS Update releases are dependent on when the device manufacturer would release them in what country.
Being unlocked currently, you are waiting with the rest of us to get the update after the other 4 carriers have released it. Right now we are all waiting on TMO, once they have released we should not be far behind.
They do this to make sure there won't be any issues regardless of the carrier you are on. Sucks, I know.

OnePlus 7 Pro 5G (EE/UK) Updates

Has anyone found out or received any information on updates regarding the UK's 5G OnePlus 7 Pro? Currently on Oxygen OS 9.5.3.GM27BA.
What did you need to know? I've had mine since launch day.

Same, but there haven't been any major updates. The 4G model is two updates ahead already. Seems like they are just selling the 5G model for money without offering any support for it. Just wanting to know if there is gonna be any update anytime soon, and which update are they gonna give us, because being a few updates behind is rediculous.

Ah, I see. I'm on 9.5.3 which it was updated to on day 1. Haven't had any issues at all though so not too fussed about an update...

Just seems a bit unfair with the 4G model is getting updates to the camera and other fixed, and then people with the 5G model which is the more expensive device is just getting left out. If they want to make 5G the future of smartphones they should offer more support on the device.
OxygenOS 9.5.4.GM27BA should be the next update according to this
https://github.com/OnePlusOSS/andro...mmit/510ad8fb042c4a87e10f18e5c158361c36238c11
Would converting the 5g phone to international Allow updates since 9.5.7 is now out....
Bit annoyed that the updates are slow too considering the last 2 have related to improving the camera
If so is the only way to do it to root it?
Everyone needs to keep expectations in line with the situation we have here.
There is only 1 place in the entire world that has the 5G Pro device in use.
So updates will be tested on Non 5G and then ported over to 5G.
The camera i version 9.5.1 5G is the same as 9.5.4 non 5G.
So i expect the same here, 9.5.7 upates to be included in 9.5.4 5G.
However seeing as the source code was uploaded 3 days ago and still no OTA it must mean EE are testing all updates and delaying it.
So I dont think its OnePlus problem.
Once the device is no longer exclusive then we may be able to use EU 5G updates on our phones.
I believe the way to works is OP will give an update to ee they will then test it, report any bugs back to OP to fix and then approve the update and then it will go out. EE have always been slow with updates.. Well for Samsung they have been. My pixel 3xl updated straight from Google.
Why do EE need to be testing this? I would understand it if the phone had custom firmware on it by EE but they don't. The phone is no different from the standard device all be it with the 5g modem.
Very frustrating, really want the camera improvements.
Is it possible to put this version into the global version of updates like the t mobile version has been done?

I don't think this will work, there are some differences in the firmware. You may loose some functionality.

Same here dude. 5G owners are basically treated like we don't exist.

I think you will lose any reception. Because of the different Bands.
But it's discussed several times in many threads...
Forget Pie updates. They were waiting to bring you 10:

Were Unlocked software updates timely?

I know in the past, before the S10, Samsung was pretty terrible about getting software updates to the unlocked versions. Taking several months longer, than the carrier versions.
So how did Samsung do with getting unlocked software updates on the S10? I'm curious to know before I decide which Galaxy S20 I preorder.
I have a Verizon S10 and I was quite pleased with the promptness of the software updates. I'm impressed we even got Android 10.
I was in the beta and my unlocked was a couple of weeks at least behind the beta people with locked phones when the final came out.
Same question here. I was looking at firmware listings on sammobile and it seems that at least for the latest firmware ...CTA3 U1 versions are dated 02-03-2020, whereas for U model only T-Mobile has CTA3 and is dated later 02-09-2020. Would love to hear from someone with unlocked model about their update experience. I've stopped buying unlocked precisely for these update delays, but would love to loose T-Mobile crap and silly 4/5g LTE icons if Samsung has gotten their act together.

I'm running an unlocked S10e on T-Mobile. Got the February security update on 4Feb. Wife's S10e we got directly from T-Mobile, it still hasn't had the Feb update pushed.
While those of us wiih unlocked phones were more than a week behind everyone else getting out of beta on Android 10, we received the February patch before some locked phones. It would be unusual for Samsung to push anything out to the unlocks early but they did on the last patch.

Galaxy z fold 2 Got the new official 3.0 update

Its finally here now updating.....
US or international version?
International got it from india Mumbai
As is often the case, the broken Good Lock modules mar the upgrade. The annual Android upgrade used to be worth the wait. Now it kind of isn't. How sad.
I'm unable to find "Edge Lighting" section under Display menu.
One UI 3.0

Its under brief pop-up settings now.
I just got my update, and honestly I'm not liking it very much, the asthetic changes i prefered the old one, but the thing that really bothers me, is that it feels slower and stuttering, am i the only one that has that experience or is there anyone else ? For what was supposed to be the flagship of the future, samsung has been lefting us on the side with getting the update 2 months later than the s20 and then its rubbish. Let me know if anyone else is experiencing the same.
Well, supposedly.. AT&T is to release it today, so I'll see what the fuss about it.
Got the update on ATT this AM been running very smoothly. I like the changes thus far.
If ATT and VZW have it, then TMO should be released soon. Then those of us with unlocked models should have it right after that.
I love 3.0 on my Note 20 Ultra, so Def looking forward to it on the Z Fold 2.

I'm still waiting. Though the new hotness would be nice, I have it on my Note 20 and my OnePlus devices and it's nothing night and day so I'll be patient and get it when I get it, lol.

No. Still waiting. Since I have had every Google phone beginning with the Galaxy Nexus and ending with the Pixel 4XL, this waiting thing is kind of different. Hopefully soon, but still loving the phone.
