Hi people, my wife has a Mi A2 stock and has Oct update waiting for a restart. She wants to skip that and wait for the Nov update. I have read somewhere before but can't recall the specifics now. There is a system app that we can clear the data right? What is that system app? Thanks ?
This may be the answer to your question: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-disable-ota-system-updates-on-stock-rom.4164151/
If the update is already downloaded, you cannot turn back but have to proceed with the update. You also cannot jump over another version, so in order to update to November patch, you will still need to update to October patch first. Only then that November patch will appear in the System Update.

Good Evening! I opened this thread to ask if someone could give me an hopinion about a problem I had on mu Nexus 6 after going back to MM from Android N preview. So today I unenrolled my device and I received a Marshmallow OTA, which was said to be the last one available. But as soon as I updated my Nexus, I saw they sent me the OTA with July's Security patch. I tried to wait and see if september's update would show up but nothing in 2 days. Is it normal and have I just to wait or is it a problem? Have you had same experiences?
P.S. I wiped data and everything soon after updating back to MM.
Does it matter if it's the July patch? These security issues are not those that normally happen to users who don't download warez apps. Use Google Play, and you're safe.
But if you want the most recent version, the download the latest OTA from the Google OTA page, and sideload it.

Yes, you're actually right about it, security patches are more or less the same for normal users. Let's say, my first worry is about Android Nougat update, because my stock updater does not seem to work properly these last days after I went back to MM. So I thought it might be a matter of time.
Just got my OTA update notification. Update went smoothly (sorry, forgot to check file size before updating. Confirmed BlueBorne vulnerability is fixed.
Not sure if this is unique to me, but post-update, my phone is now telling me my SD card is unsupported and asking me if I want to format. Really hoping to avoid backing up a 200GB card, formatting and restoring this weekend. Not sure if anyone else is having this issue too or if just my luck to have to deal with, but just a warning out there to those who may decide they want to unmount their SD cards before updating.
FWIW, my device seems to be running just a bit smoother after a day of use. No noticeable change in battery life. Pleased with the update so far.
quick newbie question, I have the G935A , fully stocked, but using it on a Canadian network, I was told I won't get the update via OTA so I installed Smart Switch, but it also says my device is up to date which has the May security patch installed (that's what it came with when I bought it last month). Any idea where I can find just the OTA patch and update the phone ?

If you aren't running on an AT&T network, you might seriously consider switching to the U firmware. Of course, Samsung conveniently forgets the U firmware exists too, so that might not gain you a whole lot at the moment.
I have the U firmware and I've been checking for updates, but nothing (I'm on the August security patch). Is there a way to force the update or use Odin or side load it? My phone was originally built for the Sprint network, then the previous owner flashed it to work on AT&T. I was not able to get any updates (was stuck on the May security patch). I used Odin to put the U firmware on it and then got 3 security patch updates after that.

The U firmware always lags the carrier firmware. August is sadly the current date for the unlocked devices for now.
All I had to do was be patient. I got the newest update (4BQJ5 - November security patch) this morning.

Thanks! This is the April update right? It ends in -2, The March one was -1. My question is: is there a place to find them every month? I have had a hard time finding them in the past and had to load older versions then go through three or four updates to get current. For some reason un-rooting my phone doesn't help me take the OTA
Is there any reason why my phone won't take the November OTA. I go into the settings, system, advance, then system up date. Select the check for update. Then it tells me my system is up to date. I had the same issues with my 3xl. Non root on the P5
Phased roll out.
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?
