We reported yesterday that the Galaxy S6 Edge + in Europe has started to receive the October patch and today we have even more good news for our readers in Europe as the S6 Edge has now also started to receive the same. The update will only be available on unlocked versions of the S6 Edge in Europe as you already know, so if you have a contract with a carrier, you will have to wait till a carrier specific version of the October patch arrives on your handset.
The update will fix 68 bugs/susceptibilities found on all Android 6.0.1 powered handsets, along with Samsung's own unique set of fixes for bugs exclusive to the range. The only thing we really know about the unique fixes which Samsung will bring with this update is the fact that it will solve an issue which causes the S6 Edge to hang at times while attempting to switch from one app to another. The rest of it is largely undisclosed in order to stop the hackers and cyber criminals from exploiting those gaps in security on the units that have not yet been updated.

European versions of the Galaxy S6 Edge + smartphones are now receiving the October SMR patch, right on the heels of the S7 and S7 Edge. The update will address seven issues exclusive to the Samsung smartphones and about 68 vulnerabilities/bugs shared by all Android devices running on Marshmallow 6.0.1 (post the September SMR installation).
Feel free to check for the update from Settings > About phone > Software updates manually, but even if you don't, you should be prompted to upgrade your device when it becomes available to your phone. Connect to Wi-Fi in order to finish the download and installation process according to your own convenience. Once the update is downloaded and installed properly, your phone's Build Number should change to MMB29K.G928FXXU3BPJ3.
Unfortunately, the regular S6 and the S6 Edge is yet to receive the October patch and we are not quite sure when it will be made available for them. Nevertheless, it should be going live any day now.

In what could be one of the final software updates for the device, if not the THE final one, Samsung has just rolled out a huge software update to the Galaxy Note 4 in Europe via OTA. The Note 4 is about two years old now, so according to what we have seen with Samsung, it is coming to the end of its manufacturer's software coverage.
The 350MB update will change the firmware version to XXS1DPJ3 and bring multiple improvements to the Note 4. Notable changes include better memory management, better stability, fixes for multiple bugs, greater battery optimization, enhanced core features and overall improvement in stability. If you are still wondering why it's so big, then keep in mind that this update also includes Google's security release for October as well.
Don't be impatient if you do not see the update on your device yet as it usually takes a bit of time before all the batches are rolled out and every smartphone starts to receive the update. Do you think this one truly is the last update for the Note 4, or will Samsung continue to provide the aged device with security updates for a while longer? The news was brought to our attention, thanks to GalaxyClub.
