Software Update Schedule Discussion

[TheRamsez]

Update Galaxy S6 since 17 hours on videotron with built G920W8VLU5DQD4, Telus one of the big company is not even able to release the updates before videotron, we should receive within a couple of hours, otherwise its really slow ...

[BobLoblaw]

Is there an update to Nougat for the LG G4? I just received an update last week that I was hoping was Nougat but it was a large update with a bunch of patches instead.

[Zeeshan]

Just updated my Samsung S6 edge to nougat and the LED notification do not work when the phone is set to vibrate only or silent... the led notifications only work when sound it on. Anyone else facing same issue?

[mhinc]

@darderb Yes I agree.  But the Update Schedule is finally updated.  S6 Edge got Android 7 on April 24th.  And there is no mention of S6 update yet again, after being removed previously.....

[mhinc]

@BobLoblaw

Nothing yet, keep an eye on this link for updates.  Mind you it's not updated until AFTER the updates happen, OR updates are posted and then removed.

@TheRamsez

Maybe it's time you switch to videotron then?

[Bulldog]

The schedule is not useful anymore. There is nothing in TARGET. It not serving anymore.....

All compagny launch the update 7.0 for Galaxy S6 this night...Telus you kidding or what? You are the last...really nice compagny...MOVEEEE!!! It's the same version for everyone...

[darderb]

Honestly, I would rather wait a bit longer if it meant a completely stable version of the OS would be available, but as we have seen in the past that is not usually the case. OEM's really need to press Google to adjust their update methods, there shouldn't be a 8 month waiting period for the OEM's to release updates. And yes, I do realise the S6 line is now 2 years old. 

[darderb]

Also, what's the deal with security patch updates from Samsung/Telus? My latest is November 2016.

@darderb

Go to http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=SM-G920W8

All live update by Samsung...

Telus in the last again...

[darderb]

@TheRamsez 

That is an interesting site, i'm a bit surprised that even the smaller companies have released the update already. Virgin and Wind beat Telus to the update? Wow

[TheRamsez]

@darderb

Yeah, and if you look good, it's always last, it's ridiculous

[User2434]

@TelusSupport on Twitter just confirmed that it should be available.

May be a day or so before it is available to all devices on the network though.

[darderb]

I'm thinking the Telus Support Rep was incorrect

[canucks4life]

I'm using a SM-G920I factory unlocked from Singapore god knows when it will get 7.0...according to that firmware site only India has it so far.

@canucks4life

The Telus rep is likely going off of information currently available to them.

[darderb]

@Nighthawk I am sure the support rep was going off of information provided to them. Unfortunately the information provided to the rep was incorrect at that particular time.

[darderb]

I sent a tweet out to Telus Support and was referred to the update schedule, "as soon as we find out, we'll update our update schedule" So I guess we will just have to patiently wait for it. 

[TheRamsez]

It is anything, it is the only ones that we did not update the update, the others have since 2 days now!

[arjonny]

I am having difficulty understanding the point of an update schedule that has nothing but dates that have passed

Its a bit annoying

[darderb]

Update schedule has been updated. Says may 8 for the s6

[TheRamsez]

It's a joke to waiting 1 week after all poeple to receive the same built...

[mbp]

Yes. An extra week wait for a buggy Samsung release is unacceptable.

[TheRamsez]

The Update for Galaxy S6 Version 7.0 (Nougat) is now launched!

[arjonny]

Where do you see that? It isn't on the live update page and it's not showing for me

[darderb]

I'm not seeing it either. Unless I get a notification i'm not going to worry about it until monday. 

[Claystation3]

I see it at this address, (they also misspelled "Samsung" for the S8.

I see that too.  I was under the impression from TheRamsez that the OTA was now live when he said it was "launched"

I guess I have to wait 4 more days for Nougat on my Samsing S6
