HTC One M9

 

HTC users are eagerly waiting for their Lollipop 5.1.1 Update, especially the HTC One M9 owners who bought the company's latest expensive flagship.

 

HTC one M9

 

Now, the Official Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update is rolling-out Over-the-air (OTA) to HTC One M9 users worldwide. The update packs the hugely acclaimed Stagefright exploit patch.

 

 

The OTA package is about 900MB in size and brings lots of bug fixes, security enhancements and performance improvements to the flagship which is expected to receive the Marshmallow update by Early 2016.

 



India is the first country to receive the latest security patches for the month of August on the Galaxy S6 Edge and other countries should follow soon. The 63MB download will change your current firmware version to G925IDVS3EPH2 and will a security vulnerability on the device, that Samsung has termed as "critical." If you are thinking that this patches up the QuadRooter vulnerability that we have been hearing so much about, you would be wrong. To the best of our knowledge, QuadRooter only affects Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets and the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is powered by the Exynos 7420 SoC. Even if there is a connection, it was not mentioned in the changelog.



There are of course other general improvements in performance and optimizations, and if you want to go into the details, just consult the changelog while installing the update or check the screenshot above. Hopefully, the regular S6 will also be getting the same update, but we are not sure if or when it is coming. In the meanwhile, be wary of shady apps and always check the permission list before allowing the software access to your device.

The Galaxy J7 Prime had started to receive the security patch for the month of February just yesterday and today, the same update is rolling out to the J5 Prime. Both updates feature no major changes or improvements apart from filling in the security gaps in the base Android build.


The updates will bring build version G610FDDU1AQA2 for the Galaxy J7 Prime and G570MUBU1AQA3 for the Galaxy J5 Prime. Both packages will land on your devices via OTA within the next few days.


In other news, the next iterations of these two devices, aka the Galaxy J5 (2017) and the Galaxy J7 (2017) are speculated to be released this March with mid-range specs. If you are interested in the specs of the J7 (2017), check it out here. The J5 (2017) will also have similar specs as the J7 (2017), except for a weaker SD 617 chip and a smaller 5.2-inch 720p display.

Samsung doesn't follow any set rules while rolling out the security patches and that seems to be a trend which will continue in 2018 as well. This month, it was the turn of the Galaxy Tab A (2016) to be the first device in the company's arsenal to be updated with the January patch. If you think about it, it's not very often that Samsung rolls out a security patch this early in the month, but nobody's complaining!


As per reports, firmware version T285DDU0AQL3 is being rolled out to the Galaxy Tab A (2016) aka SM-T285. The even more surprising fact is that the patch has begun rolling out in Bangladesh; a region not known for getting the first updates from Samsung. Given that the old tablet is still running on Android Lollipop 5.1.1, it's both surprising and good to see good that Samsung is still keeping it protected against security threats.

galaxy s20

 

Samsung is reportedly rolling out November's security patch and updates to the Samsung Galaxy devices including this year's Samsung Galaxy S20. The security patch is meant to overcome several serious security vulnerabilities in the Android OS. The Android security bulletin, published on Nov 2, 2020, contains details on security vulnerabilities affecting Android devices and not just the Galaxy devices.

 

If you own one of the Galaxy devices, you will be getting the new software update automatically which improves the stability of the camera app, Wi-Fi connectivity, and also includes several other security updates. We highly recommend you to install the new security update as it addresses all of the high or critical vulnerabilities known so far. If you leave it without updating, your phone could be exploited by a hacker to achieve remote code execution, privilege escalation, or denial of service. The new update patches several problems being discovered in the operating system's core framework, media framework, and system.

 

Two important bugs existed in the framework, two high-risk escalation bugs, a high severity information disclosure bug, and finally a high severity DoS bug. The security update also patches one critical and one high remote code execution bug in Android's media framework as well as one high severity escalation of privilege bug and one moderate one. The patch works on 4 bugs, one escalation of privilege bug, one DoS bug, and one critical remote code execution bug. For the owners of Galaxy S10 5G, the latest update is due in a few days.

 




Owners in India are reporting they are receiving a new update for their Nokia 3 smartphones. HMD Global has announced it has started rolling out the March Android security update to the smartphone. The over-the-air (OTA) rollout is starting in India and will reach other global regions in stages over the coming weeks.


As usual, pulling in a monthly Android patch OTA is a painless experience and the update should not take long. That means you can update in-between watching Netflix, using bet365, or communicating with friends and be back into the action quickly.


If you don't see the update immediately, even in India, don't worry as it is on its way. March's Android security update weighs in at 100MB, which suggests this is all about shoring up security and making general platform tweaks. Indeed, there are no new features included in this release, which is hardly a surprise.


Google says its monthly security patches are a vital component of the platform that allow Android to remain safe and protect devices. However, because Android is an open ecosystem, many of the monthly patches don't end up on smartphones fast enough.


OEMs are free to change Android as they wish and update the platform when they want, often including holding back updates. On a mass level, delayed updates have caused massive fragmentation across the ecosystem, while on a smaller scale many smartphones are not receiving the full range of Google's security patches.


HMD Global's Nokia 3 is different because it runs a stock Android experience. This is Google's own version of Android, free of the bloatware and added software tweaks OEMs make. Google says Stock Android is both secure and a smooth OS, but OEMs often make it insecure with their changes.


The Nokia 3 does run Stock Android, offering one of the purest Android environments in the smartphone market. Aside from performance benefits, owners of Nokia handsets are also treated to timely security patches. Google launches monthly security patches to its own Pixel smartphones and the Nokia 3 usually receives these updates just a few weeks later.


While that's hugely impressive, the fact the Nokia 3 is two years old and still receiving updates before most flagships is also notable. Highlighting the benefits of Stock Android, the Nokia 3 is a modestly spec'd and affordable device that still receives patches. That is a rarity in the smartphone world.


HMD Global is also allowing the device to stay up-to-date in terms of major Android versions. Back in December, the company rolled out Android Oreo 8.1 to the Nokia 3. Better still, Android 9 Pie is scheduled to be released for the smartphone before the close of the second quarter 2019. Of course, Android Q will launch at the end of the year and it will be interesting to see if the Nokia 3 gets the upgrade.


As for the smartphone itself, it is still a decent budget options two years after its 2017 launch. Costing around $100, the Nokia 3 offers a 5-inch HD screen and is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core MediaTek 6737 CPU paired with 2GB of RAM. While that processor may seem lite, Stock Android and the HD resolution allow for solid performance.


Elsewhere, the Nokia 3 has 16GB of on-board storage that can be expended by 128GB via a MicroSD card. In terms of cameras, the smartphone has an 8-megapixel lens on the rear and another 8-megapixel shooter as its selfie camera on the front.



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.

If you own any one of the two Samsung flagship smartphones, you should receive a notification for another new update very soon. This one will upgrade the firmware to version FXXU1APE9. The Korean OEM wasn't particularly famous for releasing fast and rapid updates, but this year, things have changed for the good. Multiple updates have been rolled out since the two phones were released in March, addressing bugs and improving stability in the process.


This one fixes a complex issue in which the power saving mode was disabled as soon as Google Now was launched. It will also resolve the initial flickering that some users complained about while playing back recorded footage. Users will be able to save files to the SD card without any problem now and according to Samsung, "icon location cycle has been changed to improve screen clarity" on the Always On display.


The update is a midsized 332MB file for the S7, and a 353MB one for the S7 Edge. It is an OTA update as usual and we recommend the use of Wi-Fi for downloading them. Although you should receive an automatic notification, you can always check from Settings >About device >Check for updates to see if the patch has arrived on your device yet.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are now receiving the November patch from T-Mobile. To be honest, we were a little surprised as it's not often that a Samsung phone receives the monthly security patch this early. In fact, T-Mobile has not even listed the OTA update on its website yet. Therefore, feel free to check manually from Settings > About device > Software update, but do not be disappointed if you cannot see it being available for you phone right now.


The update comes in an OTA package of about 82MB for both the S7 and the S7 Edge. Post the download and installation, the S7's firmware version will change to G930TUVU4PK1 and that of the S7 Edge to G935TUVU4APK1. Even though there isn't any concrete document to confirm it, this update could also make the S7 and S7 Edge compatible with 256 QAM and 64 QAM for improved download speeds. We will surely get to know more in the next few days, in the meanwhile, we just hope that the manufacturers and the carriers continue to work together and provide their customers with such timely updates!

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.

Few days ago, Microsoft released a patch for a critical remote code execution vulnerability, CVE-2015-1635 (MS15-034). Now, it has been spotted being exploited in the wild by researchers at the SANS Institute.

 

"Denial of Service (DoS) exploits are widely available to exploit CVE-2015-1635, a vulnerability in HTTP.sys, affecting Internet Information Server (IIS)," noted Johannes Ullrich, Chief Technology Officer of the SANS Internet Storm Center. The vulnerability affects Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2.

 

According to UK research firm Netcraft, over 70 million websites hosted on around 900,000 servers could be vulnerable. "Due to the ease with which this vulnerability can be exploited, we recommend that you expedite patching this vulnerability" - Ullrich said.

The year 2016 is coming to an end and Samsung has just detailed everything about the final patch of the year. Google had released the December SMR a few days ago, along with Android 7.1.1 Nougat for select devices and had given OEM companies access to the firmware. If you are wondering when your Samsung phone is going to get Nougat version 7.1.1, we have no clue, because Samsung is still far from releasing the final, stable version of Nougat 7.0 yet.


The December patch however, is definitely coming to all the recent smartphones from the company's arsenal, as well as a few of the old ones. Apart from the multiple fixes and performance improvements from Google itself, the patch will also address 15 issues that are unique to Samsung smartphones. Fortunately, it will solve a problem that I have personally been bogged down with. The mobile Wi-Fi hotspot would turn on automatically sometimes on my phone and the password would simply be presented in the log!



When exactly your smartphone will receive the December patch depends on your location, carrier and of course, the model that you are using. Nevertheless, it shouldn't be too long now.

The security patch for January 2017 has started to roll out to the Galaxy J2 Prime and the Galaxy Grand Lite. While it's only natural for the J2 Prime to receive the update as it was only released last November, it is both surprising and good to see that Samsung still remembers the Grand Lite which was released almost three years ago in 2014. However, an upgrade to Lollipop is not officially on the cards for the Grand Lite as it continues to run on the ancient Android 4.4.4 KitKat OS.


The firmware version containing the update for the J2 Prime is G532GDXU1AQA4, while the one for the Grand Lite is I9060CUBS0AQA1. If you have an old Samsung smartphone that you want to upgrade but an official upgrade from Samsung is highly unlikely, head over to our firmware section and find the right custom ROM for your particular handset model. The only thing is that we recommend taking a look at our tutorial at least once before attempting to flash any ROM updates.

The January security patch has now officially started to roll out to the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S6 Edge+ and the Galaxy Note 5 on Verizon. One may argue that it's already February but it's better late than never. Surprisingly, it was the Galaxy S5, the Galaxy Note 4 and the Galaxy Note Edge which had received the SMR update a few days earlier than their newer counter parts. The firmware versions have been listed below respectively.


Galaxy S6 - G920VVRS4CQA3
Galaxy S6 Edge - G928VVRS3BQA1
Galaxy Edge+ - G925VVRS4CQA3
Galaxy Note 5 - N920VVRS3BQA1


Wait till you get a notification or search manually for the update from your settings menu, but it may take a few days before it reaches every device in the US, that's being carried by Verizon. The ROM files are not yet available for download, but you can always check out our firmware section for the latest updates that are available anytime you want.

The Galaxy S4 and the Galaxy Tab 3 from Samsung may be old, but they have not yet been forgotten. While an OS upgrade to even Lollipop is not exactly on the cards (at least not officially that is) for the two aged devices, T-Mobile is currently rolling out the latest February security patch to them. It is always good to see carriers and OEMs remembering their old devices once in a while.


If you are still using any of the two legacy devices on T-Mobile, the OTA update should hit your phone or tablet any time now. Firmware version M919UVSFQA1 comes in for the Galaxy S4, while the Galaxy Tab 3 gets updated to T217TUVSBQA1.


In the meanwhile, if you have an old smartphone that you want to update but Samsung isn't really likely to roll one out for you anytime soon, head over to our firmware section for a wide list of custom ROM updates.

The February security patch has been reaching Samsung handsets pretty fast and the company has shipped them out to even some of the ancient ones, like the Galaxy S4 on T-Mobile. The Galaxy A8 and the Galaxy J5 (2016) has just started to receive the monthly patch as well. The firmware version released this month for the A8 and the J5 (2016) is A810FXXU1AQA2 and J510MNUBU2AQA5 respectively. The J5 Prime and the J7 Prime had already received the update a few days ago. As always, feel free to cheek from Settings > About device > System updates for the OTA file, if you haven't received a notification yet.


In the meanwhile, if you have a smartphone that had received its last official update ages ago, check out our firmware section for all firmware versions released for Samsung smartphones. You will find custom ROMs and official updates over there, but before you try to flash anything onto your phone manually, just go through our tutorial on how to use Odin3.

Samsung continues to support the Galaxy Note 4 with regular security updates as the February patch begins to hit the unlocked Galaxy Note 4 in Europe. Considering that even some of the its newer devices have not yet received the February patch from Samsung, it is a bit surprising. Nevertheless, it's good to see Samsung still supporting its older flagships.


The firmware version for this update is N910FXXS1DQB4 and it brings all the fixes included in the February SMR release along with a few of Samsung's own custom bug fixes and performance improvements. Although people keep saying that the Galaxy Note 4 is now too old to receive any updates from the OEM, Samsung keeps rolling them out and that's a good thing. Nevertheless, an official Nougat update is certainly not coming to the Note 4 or any of its contemporary handsets.



If you are in Europe, the update should hit your device within the next few weeks. If you are in any other region, you may have to wait a while before getting it. You can also head over to our firmware section to find all the latest available updates for your Samsung smartphones.

Although we are already into the second week of March, not all smartphones are fortunate enough to expect the March SMR package from OEMs and carriers yet. In fact, most older and budget devices have not even received the January security patch. If you own a Galaxy Note 4 or a Galaxy J5 Original though, you are in luck as T-mobile and Samsung respectively have released the January security patch for them.



The unlocked versions and even certain carrier variants of the Note 4 had started to receive the February patch a few days ago in Europe, so it is a bit disappointing to see T-Mobile taking so much time in rolling out even the dated updates in the US. Nevertheless, the 60.54MB package with build number MMB29M.N910TUVS2EQB1 should arrive via OTA on your Note 4 anytime now.



On the Galaxy J5 original, the January update arrives with the build number MMB29M.J500FNXXU1BQA3. This one comes straight from Samsung and not a carrier. Just as with all other January security updates from Samsung, this one will address 67 potential security issues common to all Android devices and 28 of Samsung's own custom fixes for vulnerabilities exclusive to Samsung smartphones.

As expected, the Galaxy Tab S2 is now receiving the Nougat update form Samsung in certain regions. The OTA update is hitting both the 9.7-inch version and the 8-inch version, but not in the same areas. According to reports, the 8-nch Galaxy Tab S2 with the model number SM-T715 is receiving Nougat in Italy, while in Germany, the 9.7 inch variant with model number SM-T810 is getting the same upgrade. However, it's only a matter of days before all devuces in the regions start receiving the upgrade to the latest and greatest Android OS.


The good news is that the 954.93MB file also contains the latest April security patch, making this a truly useful and complete update for the two tablets. Apart from the usual bells and whistles that are associated with each and every Nougat update, the Tab S2 will not feature a completely new user interface, that is better, faster and more secure, thanks to the April SMR. You may have to wait a while if you are not in any of these two countries, but now that it has staretd to roll out, you can rest assure that wait won't be too long. In the meanwhile, if you want to try out the Nougat update for the Galaxy Tab S2 before its official release in your region, head over to our firmware section.

Although the upgrade to Android Nougat is probably the update that all of you are waiting for when it comes to the C9 Pro, unfortunately, it isn't out yet. Nevertheless, the April SMR from Android, along with Samsung's own set of bug fixes for the Galaxy C9 Pro has just started to hit the high-end device. The report from The Android Soul did not specifically mention the regions receiving the updates currently, but chances are that all of the regions will start receiving the OTA update within a few days because there are only a handful of nations where the C9 Pro is being sold currently.


The firmware version of the update is C900FDDU1AQC5 and it should provide protection against all the latest threats to security posed by malware and hackers to the overall Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OS and the overlying Samsung UI. Don't worry much about the Nougat update right now as the C9 Pro is guaranteed to get it soon (fingers crossed!). Also, the Marshmallow v6.0.1 OS runs pretty smooth on the SD 653 SoC and 6GB RAM, so you shouldn't have much to complain about. However, if you want to check out some custom ROMs and firmware updates from various sources, head over to our firmware section now.

The Galaxy J7 (2016) just started to receive the Android security patch for the month of April in India. The OTA package is quite slim at only 25.78MB and has the build number MMB29K.J710FXXU3AQD4. Along with the 49 CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) fixes included in all Android SMR releases for the month of April, Samsung also includes 16 of its own fixes that are unique to the manufacturer's smartphones only. If you own a J7 (2016) in India, you should be prompted for the update anytime now.



The S7 and the S7 Edge has also started to receive the same Android SMR update but this report is apparently coming in from Europe instead of Asia. The OTA update includes the same fixes from Google and Samsung as the ones mentioned above. It might be a while though before you get to see the update pop up on your phone. How much you will need to wait will depend largely on your location.

Finally, as we almost near the end of the month, the April security patch for the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge have finally arrived for Verizon users. The software version is NRD90M.G930VVRU4BQC5 and along with the Android Security Maintenance Release for the month, it also adds a few custom changes from the carrier and the manufacturer as well.



Users of the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge on Verizon will now be able to use Verizon's One Talk feature, which had been missing from the two handsets up until now. In case you are not aware what the One Talk feature is exactly; it basically allows a user to connect his/her mobile and office device to one registered Verizon number. You will also find Knox Mobile Security as an option on your device after the update. Reportedly, it updates the Amazon shopping application on the two devices to v8.1.1 as well.

The security patches from Google and Samsung for the month of April have finally arrived for the Galaxy S7, S7 Edge and the Note 5 in India. However, there's just one problem with this; we are already a week into May! Considering that these are all flagship smartphones from the company, the delay is disappointing and unexpected.


The update comes in at a hefty 169.79MB for the Galaxy S7 (G930FXXU1DQD7) and 176.49MB for the Galaxy S7 Edge (G935FXXU1DQD7). The size is a bit surprising, given that the same patch comes in at only about 14MB for the Galaxy Note 5. We are guessing the size difference is because the updates for the S7 and S7 Edge contains many more of Samsung's custom improvements than the one released for the Note 5.



As I always say, it's better late than never! Check your smartphones now to see if it has arrived on your smartphone. Also, do check out our firmware section to see if you are missing out on any major firmware upgrades; official or unofficial.

Although Android Nougat for the Galaxy Tab A was released just a few days ago, unfortunately, it was meant only for the Tab A 10.1 (2016) and not its smaller, older sibling. When reports about an update being rolling out for the older tablet began to circulate, many of us hoped against our better judgement that maybe Samsung is feeling particularly generous this year towards the Tab A line-up! However, that was not meant to be, because firmware version P350ZSU1BQD5 only contains the April security update, a few minor improvements and some bug fixes introduced by Samsung. The Wi-Fi + LTE version should also get it soon, but at this moment, just the Galaxy Tab A Wi-Fi only variant is receiving the update via OTA.



In case you still own the aged Galaxy Core Prime released by Samsung back in 2014, you should be pleased to know that Samsung is currently rolling out the same April security update for both versions of the device as well. If you were hoping that Nougat is coming to the Core Prime, we suggest that you try a custom ROM!

The latest flagship handsets and an old smartphone from 2015 just received the May security patch from Samsung in India and reportedly, these three are the first ones to receive the latest Android SMR in the country from the Korean company. The OTA package (firmware version G950FXXU1AQE5) seems surprisingly light for a 613MB file, given the fact that Samsung doesn't mention much about the improvements it brings along with the May security update. Nevertheless, check out the screenshot above which details the info as seen.



Firmware version J700FXXU4BQE3 with the May Security update also started landing on the Galaxy J7 Original (SM-J700F) at roughly the same time in India, but it comes in at a much smaller size of 144MB. Check out the screenshot just above the paragraph to see some of the details of the update. No details regarding the security patches were revealed so as to prevent cyber criminals and hackers from bypassing them. Nevertheless, it contains 54 Android CVE patches and 11 patches from Samsung's own arsenal.

The Galaxy A5 (2017) has just started to receive the latest security patch from Samsung in Europe. As it is the case with all Android smartphones that will be receiving the patch, the May Security Maintenance Release addresses 54 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) on the smartphone. Additionally, 11 more patches from Samsung's end will also be making their way onto the A5 (2017) with the OTA update.


The standard sized 155MB update comes in the form of firmware version A520FXXU1AQE2 and should be released in other regions within the next few weeks. If you are in Europe however, the update could be hitting your device anytime now. You can always check from Settings > About device > Software updates like we always mention, but it's not really necessary, given that the prompts are usually instant and automatic nowadays.

Although the Galaxy Note 5 on T-Mobile is running on the latest version of the Android Nougat OS upgrade offered by Samsung yet, strangely enough, it did not receive the April security update for some reason. However, that should no longer be an issue because T-Mobile has already started to roll out the May security Update for its users across the US.


The firmware version of the update is N920TUVU4EQE1 and it comes in at a decent size of 209.56 MB. Even though it's not a particularly big file, use your Wi-Fi if you have it (you better get one soon if you don't!). Check out the improvements it brings to the Galaxy Note 5 below and in the screenshot.



• Updated Application: GMS
• The Security of your device has been improved.
A software update can include but is not limited to:
• Device Stability Improvements, bug fixes
• New and/or enhanced features
• Further improvements to performance

The Galaxy S8+ had started to receive the June Security Patch in Europe a few hours ago and now a new report has confirmed that the same update has also started to land on the Indian variant. It is just a maintenance update but it is quite a significant one for a number of reasons. Firstly, the monthly SMR for June actually addresses 96 vulnerabilities in the base Android OS; which is in itself quite a large hole to fill! Add to that the fact that it also carries a few of Samsung's own updates to the UI and it suddenly begins to seem like quite a significant update.



Apparently, the most prominent change which this update brings to the S8+ are new colors for the navigation bar background. Given all that it is carrying, the 453.72MB size is quite understandable. Did you start to receive the update in your location yet? If you did and you don't live in Europe or India, please let us know in the comments.

The Galaxy Note Edge is a dying smartphone, but Samsung still loves it. Well, at least T-Mobile does anyway! The Note Edge was the first of its kind from Samsung as it pioneered that iconic curved display for the Note series which has now become the staple for flagship Samsung smartphones. The curves have evolved so much since but the Note Edge has managed to hold its unique charm still today. It's good to see the latest June security patch make its way onto the smartphone via T-mobile.


While it may not be Nougat 7.0 (and it never will be unfortunately via official means), this OTA update does bring in as much as 96 bug fixes and loophole patches for the base Android OS. The version of the firmware is N915TUBS2DQE4 and you should be receiving it any time now if you are on T-Mobile. But what if you own an unlocked version of the Galaxy Note Edge in the US? Will you be getting the same? Technically you should but Samsung US has been absolutely negligent in regard to rolling out updates for its unlocked American variants recently, so that might take a while if it has not arrived on your smartphone already. It should be noted that Verizon users already got the same update for their Galaxy Note Edge smartphones about two weeks ago.

The latest versions of the Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A7 have just started to receive their security patches for the month of June in India. Both updates will fix 23 security vulnerabilities unique to the Samsung phones, in addition to the 96 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) currently shared by all smartphones running on the Android OS. If you are reading this in India and you own either the Galaxy A5 (2017) or the Galaxy A7 (2017), look out for the update because it's about to land on your smartphone, if it hasn't already.

 

The Galaxy A5 (2017) and the Galaxy A7 (2017) joins the list of Samsung phones that had also started to receive the same security patch recently. In case you are not aware, models reportedly getting the June security patch include the Galaxy J5 (2017), Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge, Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+ and Galaxy Note 4.

The Galaxy Note 4 may not be getting Android 7.0 Nougat officially from Samsung, but the OEM is still providing regular monthly updates to the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge. While all other major US carrier variants and the unlocked versions had already received the security patch for June, AT&T wasn't there yet. Fortunately for its users, the carrier has now joined the likes of Verizon and T-Mobile by rolling out the June security patch for the Note 4.


The OTA update will come in at an ultraslim 23MB package and if you are using the Note 4 on AT&T, it should be hitting your device anytime now, if it hasn't already. Firmware version of the SMR update is N910AUCS2EQF1.


Update: It seems that the same monthly security update is also out for the Galaxy Note Edge. Firmware version for this one is N915AUCS2DQF1 and it comes in at a slightly bigger size of 27MB.

Although no one can really tell when it will actually be making its way onto your particular smartphone model and region, what we can tell you is that the monthly security patch for July is finally ready and Samsung could be rolling it out to your smartphone anytime now. Unfortunately, that "anytime" encompasses a very long time for some handsets, but latest higher end and flagship models should be seeing the update notification by next week.

 

In order to keep the securities and vulnerabilities from being exploited, Samsung has not unveiled them all as you would expect. Nevertheless, feel free to check out the public info which is available here. It seems that this month's base Android Security Maintenance Release addresses 65 common vulnerabilities and bugs shared by all Android-powered smartphones. Of course, as always, Samsung will also include some of his own patches (16 this month) specific to its own smartphone models. If any of you have already started to receive the July security patch on your Samsung smartphone or Tablet, do inform us in the comments.

The Galaxy Note 4 is too old to receive an upgrade to Android 7.0 Nougat now but that doesn't mean that Samsung has forgotten the old Note from 2014. It has till date received steady updates that have kept it fully functional and secure, in spite of being almost three years old now. It's always good to see old Samsung devices get latest updates and that's why it's our pleasure to bring you the news that if you own a Galaxy Note 4 in Europe, you should be able to see the Android security patch for the month of July making its way on to your Note 4 anytime now.


The build version of the firmware is N910FXXS1DQG5 and it should be somewhere around 199MB in size. As is the case with every Samsung security update, the package will fix 16 vulnerabilities in Samsung's own firmware and of course, the 65 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures shared by all Android smartphones in general. Let us know in the comments if you can see the update arrive for you Galaxy Note 4 in some other locations as well.

Samsung has recently shown a lot of responsibility and vigilance by updating even some of its three-year old handsets with the latest security patches and today we have similar news for a bunch of them. Check out the list below and see if your older Galaxy handset made it onto this list, or did it already receive the July security patch quite a while back.


• Galaxy S6 Edge Plus
• Galaxy Note Edge (China)
• Galaxy A5 2016
• Galaxy A5 2017


It is expected that along with Google's July security patch for the base Android OS, the OTA update will also bring some of Samsung's own little fixes for its smartphones' security loopholes. If you are wondering which firmware builds will be hitting the devices, check below for details.


Galaxy S6 Edge Plus - G928GUBS3CQG1
Galaxy Note Edge (China) - N9150ZCS1CQG1
Galaxy A5 2016 - A510FXXU4CQG1
Galaxy A5 2017 - A520FXXU2AQG6


In case you cannot see any available update yet, don't worry, it will be there soon.

The Galaxy J5 is an old low-mid range device now but Samsung has not yet put it out of its security update system yet. While Android Nougat is not assured for the old smartphone (it has not been confirmed yet), it is still getting the security updates on a monthly basis to keep things safe and secure for its users. The July security update has started to hit various regions in Europe now and if you own the J5 Original in the area, you should be prompted for a firmware update very soon now.

 

The update itself comes in at a nominal size of only 45MB, with the build number J500FNXXS1BQG3, so the download should be a quick one. In addition to the 65 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) shared by all Android smartphones and tablets, the OTA update also includes 16 of the Korean OEM's own fixes for its smartphones.

Surprisingly enough, Samsung started rolling out the August security patch to the Galaxy J7 Prime on the first day of August, even before Google but that's a different report which you can read here. This report here is all about the Galaxy S7 Edge receiving the August security update from Samsung in Mexico, as per a report by SamMobile. If you have news regarding the same update making rounds in other regions as well, do inform us in the comments section.


The patch fixes 40 security issues in total for all Samsung smartphones, with 28 of them being from Google and the remaining 12 from Samsung. Firmware version on the OTA package is G935FXXU1DQH3 in Mexico, but it will vary slightly, depending on what country you are in and what version of the Galaxy S7 Edge you are using (carrier locked, unlocked, Exynos, Snapdragon etc.).

Now that some major handsets are out of the way, Samsung has started rolling out the August security update to the unlocked Galaxy A5 (2016). If you are wondering which regions are getting the security patch at the moment, the good news is that reports suggest all regions more or less are included. So head over to your phone's Settings menu and see if any OTA package is waiting for you in the Software Downloads section.


The download is decent sized at 215.08MB so it's best if you hook your phone up with your Wi-Fi first. Firmware version on the update is A510FXXU4CQH2 and it addresses a total of 40 vulnerabilities on the Galaxy A5 (2016); 12 of Samsung's own patches and 28 CVEs common to all smartphones running on the Android OS. This update will also install the Facebook app on your smartphone for some reason! Let us know if you see any major changes in the smartphone's UI after the update. Enjoy!

The Galaxy S6 series of smartphones are an old bunch now, but in a time where even the Galaxy S5 is getting upgraded to the latest security patches, you can rest assured that S6 and others in the series will be on Samsung's update list for quite a while at least. However, today's update comes filtered through the AT&T network because this news concerns only those S6, S6 Edge and S6 Edge+ smartphones that are currently being used on the AT&T network on contract. The unlocked versions had received their August security update quite a few days back.


The OTA update contains firmware version G920AUCS6EQH1 for the Galaxy S6, G925AUCS6EQH1 for the Galaxy S6 Edge and G928AUCS4EQH1 for the Galaxy S6 Edge+. If you are using any of these smartphones on AT&T, do let us know if you see any big changes post the update, although I highly doubt there will be anything more than improvements in stability and performance tweaks.

Contrary to every other place in the world, the United States of America is not a good place to buy an unlocked Samsung device if you want fast updates! In the last few years, it has been established that carrier versions will always receive the latest updates before unlocked versions in the country. We are not sure if it's a business decision, but it isn't an unlikely explanation. Nevertheless, the good news is that the unlocked S8 and the S8 + have finally started to receive the latest security patch from the OEM.


In case you are wondering, the same patch was already released previously on all major carriers which include AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, USC and Virgin Mobile USA. The 600+ MB package will arrive via OTA and the firmware version on it will be G950U1UEU1AQH3. Check to see if it has already arrived from Settings > Software Update. If it isn't there yet, just wait for a few hours and try again.

The situation is a bit confusing now because Samsung has likely already provided the necessary patches to take care of the infamous BlueBorne vulnerability, but an app on the Play Store which checks your device to see if it is still vulnerable is clearly showing that the Note 8 is not yet safe. Why is this happening you may ask? The answer is quite simple really! Samsung patched the BlueBorne security gap on their own with the August patch itself, while the BlueBorne Vulnerability Scanner app only marks Android phones with the September patch as "safe."


As you can imagine, this should actually be an epic win for Samsung, but as fate would have it, the Note 8 is receiving negative publicity because of it! The truth is that Samsung managed to patch a major flaw in the OS even before Google did it and that deserves some applause! The bottom line is that if you own a Galaxy Note 8, you should rest easy because as far as the software side is concerned, Samsung has you covered for now. Given my recent experience, I am not so sure about the hardware part though!

By now, anyone who is even mildly concerned with his/her smartphone's security, knows about the infamous BlueBorne attack and thankfully, Samsung has patched it on all its major handsets. In fact, Samsung had patched it with the August SMR even before Google released the official BlueBorne patch along with the September security update. Unfortunately, it had led many users to falsely believe that the new Note 8 was susceptible to the attack because it didn't have the September security update.


Now Verizon has also released the necessary patch to protect the Galaxy Note 4 against the BlueBorne threat with firmware version N910VVRU2CQI2, which will arrive on the handset via OTA. This also contains all other necessary security patches to keep the aging Note 4 safe from external threats. Just in case you are not aware what the BlueBorne threat is, know that it is a Bluetooth based hack which allows hackers to take control of any device with remote code execution via Bluetooth. Once the hacker gains access to the device, they can basically do anything from installing damaging codes to stealing private data stored on the smartphone.

Samsung has not been able to roll out the security patch for September yet for some reason, but they have been rolling out the BlueBorne patch for all its devices sincerely. One would think that the S8 and the S8+ would be higher on the priority list, but Samsung rolled out the patch to a lot of other older and less premium handsets first. That is not necessarily a bad thing though and at the end of it all, the good news is that the patches for the S8 and the S8+ are finally here after all.


The update is a huge one at almost half a gigabyte (476.63MB) and as of now it's only rolling out in the European region (Netherlands mainly). Alongside patching the infamous BlueBorne bug, it also brings improvements to wireless charging and the navigation bar apparently.

After patching quite a few other models, Samsung has now turned its attention to the flagship handsets from the year 2015; the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge. If you live in the European region, your S6 or S6 Edge should be prompted for an OTA update soon enough. If you have the regular S6, the build version should be G920FXXU5EQI6, while if you have the S6 Edge, you should see build number G925FXXU5EQI6 making its way onto your smartphone.


Just like all the other BlueBorne patches released by Samsung so far, this one doesn't have the September patch from Google either. This essentially means that Samsung has actually skipped the September patch altogether in favor of rolling out the BlueBorne security update. We will now have to wait for the October update to arrive for all Samsung devices.


Just in case you are not aware what BlueBorne is, know that it is the latest hack that's threatening security across all the three major platforms; Android, iOS and Windows. All it needs is a Bluetooth connection (not even permission to connect is required) and hackers can access your device and all data in it. Better download the update fast!

Uncharacteristically, Samsung had completely skipped the September security patch and had instead decided to roll out only the BlueBorne security updates last month. It was only a matter of time before they detailed the October patch though and it has happened earlier than many experts anticipated. Although the update is not being rolled out to any of the handsets yet, Samsung should start sending them out very soon. The Galaxy Note8 and the Galaxy S8 series will be the first in line, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of the other less premium handsets also started to receive the October patch at the same time.


This patch would be quite a heavy one as far as we can tell since it contains 215 fixes from Google for addressing vulnerabilities in the base Android OS. On the other hand, Samsung has added only 6 of their own fixes for the overlying UI, which means that Samsung's own security team has become quite efficient these days. In case you have not received your BlueBorne patch yet from the OEM, don't worry because we are pretty sure that the October patch will likely have it. Check out Samsung's own site here to know full details about the October patch.

Sorry for being a bit late to report this one, but it's good news nevertheless. The Galaxy A5 smartphones from both 2016 and 2017 have now started to receive the October security patch from Samsung. It is a bit surprising that Samsung would prefer to release it for its mid rangers before the flagships, but it's good that that the OEM doesn't seem to be discriminating too much in between their handsets when it comes to security.


The October security update comes after Samsung decided to skip the September SMR entirely in favor of patching BlueBorne, so it's the first Android security patch from the company after August. This one comes loaded with patches for a whopping 215 vulnerabilities found within the Android OS in general and a meager 6 fixes for Samsung's own UI. By now, I wouldn't be surprised if some other devices have started to receive the same update from Samsung as well, so do let us know if we missed something.

The October patch has now started to hit unlocked Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge handsets across Netherlands and hopefully other regions by the time you are reading this. As Samsung had skipped the September patch this year, this is the first Google security update that Samsung smartphones are getting after August. Firmware versions G930FXXU1DQJ1 and G935FXXU1DQJ1 are released for the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge respectively and you should be prompted to update your device anytime now.


The decent sized 122MB packages should contain fixes for 215 vulnerabilities and bugs in the Android OS, as well as Samsung's own six patches for their part in the phone's software. The OEM had to skip the September security update because they were too busy patching the infamous BlueBorne security threat, which was a serious problem last month. Nevertheless, no reports indicate that any Samsung phone was left unprotected last month, which signifies that although they did not release the September security patch, the BlueBorne patch was more than apt to keep the devices secure for the time being.

The Galaxy S8 had already started to receive the October security patch over four days ago, but Samsung's latest flagship handset is yet to get the same treatment. The wait for owners of the Note 8 is about to be over though, as reports from multiple sources have confirmed that the month's patch is now reaching Galaxy Note 8 smartphones in China and Hong Kong. The two models eligible for the update in those regions are the SM-N9508 and SM-N9500.


Although Chinese updates are seldom very indicative of the same patch making its way into other countries, it's good to know that Samsung has at least started to roll out the OTA package for the Note 8. We would estimate that the update will soon be released in Europe, given that we have almost reached the end of the month! When it does arrive, 215 vulnerabilities in the underlying Android OS will be addressed, alongside six in Samsung's own overlying UI. Do let us know in the comments, if you see the October patch hitting your device in other regions.

Samsung is on a roll now as the OEM keeps sending out the October security update to its handsets from all tiers. Just yesterday, reports had confirmed that the Galaxy Note 8 was receiving this month's security patch in China and today we have news from SamMobile that the Galaxy S6 Edge is now getting the same OTA package, albeit in the form of a different firmware! Speaking of firmware, version G925FXXU5EQI8 is making its way onto Galaxy S6 Edge handsets across UK, as you read this.


The October patch should make its way into the US and other regions very soon as well, but if you live in Europe, chances are that your handset is going to be the first on the line. On a general note, this is going to be Samsung's first monthly security update after August and it's going to fix about 215 CVEs and 6 kinks in Samsung's own user interface.

If you happen to own a Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge on AT&T, you will be receiving a huge security update pretty soon. The size of the update is not really that big, but the 135MB OTA update is big in the sense that it's an important one which addressees multiple issues and vulnerabilities on the two handsets. In fact, one might even be tempted to say that the update came a bit later than expected, given that it's almost the end of October!


Aside from the September and October security updates, the package also contains the necessary BlueBorne patch which had threatened millions of Android, iOS and Windows devices last month. In case you don't know how it affects you, know that your security would be compromised as soon as you turn on your Bluetooth, irrespective of whether or not it is in discoverable mode. The good news is, you don't need to worry about any of that after you download and install this patch, so hurry up!

If you own the Galaxy J3 (2017) and you live in the US, we have good news for you. Although it's already November, Samsung has finally managed to release the October security patch for the handset. As long as you own the model SM-J327U, you should be seeing the update arrive anytime now.


Firmware version J327UUEU1AQJ1 will patch about 215 common vulnerabilities and bugs in the base Android OS, in addition to the six that's common to only Samsung handsets. In case you are wondering why you did not receive the September patch, know that no Samsung handset did! The OEM was too busy patching up the infamous BlueBorne threat on all its models to release the September patch. As to why the October patch arrived this late, that's just how Samsung works; they were never known for delivering timely updates every month in the first place!

Samsung was never really known for providing timely updates, but recently, they have come a long way. Gone are the days when you had to wait for updates without even knowing if you are ever going to get them. Although the latest OS updates are not yet something that the OEM rolls out to all its models, they do ship out the necessary security patches to almost every device nowadays. Unfortunately, the October security patch has been an exception to this rule as Samsung has taken a really long time in rolling this one out to even its flagship handsets. Nevertheless, if you own a Galaxy S6 Edge+, you should be happy to know that it's finally here, albeit in November!


The firmware carries build number G928CXXS3CQJ3 with it and will fix 215 vulnerabilities and bugs in the base Android OS. There will also be six fixes of Samsung's own for the overlying user interface. As per SamMobile, the update has hit multiple regions including the Middle East and South Africa, but if you have received the same in some other region, do let us know in the comments.

A lot of users on AT&T and T-Mobile are going to get a notification for updating their respective smartphones soon because both the networks have now released the October security update for multiple Samsung devices. According to the reports, the update is now live for the Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Galaxy S7 Active on AT&T. The same patch is coming in for the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus on T-Mobile as well.


Firmware versions for the updates on their respective networks are as follows.


AT&T (All Updates Also Include the BlueBorne Patch)


Galaxy S6 - G920AUCS6EQJ1 (73MB)

Galaxy S6 Edge - G925AUCS6EQJ2 (62MB)

Galaxy S6 Edge+ - G928AUCS4EQJ1 (65MB)

Galaxy S7 Active - G891AUCS2BQJ4 (132 MB)

Galaxy Note 5 - N920AUCS4EQJ1 (67MB)


T-Mobile (All Update also Includes Fixes for the IMS Roaming and DIGITS bug)


Galaxy Note 5 - N920TUVU4EQJ3

Galaxy S6 Edge+ - G928TUVU4EQJ3


In case you are wondering why you have not received any notifications yet in spite of being on this list, that's probably because your phone belongs to one of the latter batches for the update. That basically means you will see the update any moment now, or it could take a few more days to reach your handset.

Samsung's update schedule regarding the monthly security updates have been a jumbled mess lately, but if you own a Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge in the Netherlands, we have good news because the November security patch has just started rolling out to the two smartphones in the region. The OTA update will come in with firmware version G930FXXS1DQK1 if you have a S7 and firmware version G935FXXS1DQK1 for the S7 Edge. Both packages weigh in at around 20MB only, but that's to be expected, given that the only major flaw which it corrects is vulnerability to the Krack Wi-Fi hack.


In addition to the 61 fixes which Google detailed in the November patch, this month's update will also fix six of Samsung's own problems in the two smartphone's overlying user interface. Keep in mind that this update is live only for the unlocked versions of the two smartphones in the region and it will take a bit of time before the carrier versions get it.

The Galaxy S8 was actually one of the last handsets in Samsung's elite line-up to receive the security patch for October, so we were not sure when the handset would be receiving the November patch. The good news is that the update is now rolling out to the S8 and S8+ handsets across Netherlands.


If you own a Galaxy S8, firmware version G950FXXU1AQK7 should be heading for your S8 any time now, provided you are in the Netherlands or at least in Europe! The Galaxy S8+ is also receiving the same update in the region, but in the form of firmware version G955FXXXU1AQK7. Both updates are quite big as it turns out and weigh in at roughly 545MB. Aside from the usual 61 fixes that this month's Google patch brings to all devices running on Android, this update will also address the Krack W-Fi vulnerability and make Bluetooth connections with device more stable. In case you are wondering when the S8 will start receiving the same update in your location, it's probably going to take a week at most.

November is not over yet and Samsung is still in the process of rolling out the Google security update of the month to its eligible smartphone models. The Galaxy J7 Pro is the latest on the OEM's list as the model just started receiving an OTA package with the November security patch a few hours ago. As of now, the update is only rolling out in Paraguay, but this is an indication that the J7 Pro in the other regions will start receiving the same release soon as well.


This update (firmware version j730GUBU2AQJ3) patches six of Samsung's own UI related vulnerabilities and 61 of Google's Android OS bugs and gaps. In case you are wondering, it also patches the infamous KRACK Wi-Fi hacking vulnerability as well. If you are reading this in Paraguay, then chances are that the update will hit your smartphone any time now, if it hasn't already. In case you are lucky enough to get the same update in some other region, do let us know in the comments.

The Galaxy A5 may not be the most premium smartphone on Samsung's roster, but that hasn't stopped Samsung from rolling out this month's patch to the model. It is really nice to see Samsung sending out the December patch so early for a change, but at the same time, we were surprised to know that the Galaxy A5 (2016) was the device to get it before every other model. Not that Samsung always maintains a hierarchical list when sending security patches though, because that's reserved mostly for major updates like OS upgrades.


The security patch comes in with firmware version A510FXXU4CQL1 and at roughly 200MB, so be sure to hook it up to your Wi-Fi before trying to download the OTA package. In addition to the fixes which every December update carries for all Android powered smartphones, it will reportedly also bring improved charging stability and smoother performance. If you are one of the users who have been experiencing Wi-Fi related issues with their A5 (2016) since the October update, do let us know if this fixes anything. Although the news reports are currently coming in from Netherlands only, we are sure that more regions will be getting the same update soon.

Take it as you may, but Samsung does not believe in giving preference to its more expensive or flagship devices while rolling out monthly security updates. While the last month of the year is well on its way, Samsung has so far only rolled out the month's security patches to the Galaxy A5 (2016) and now, the Galaxy C7.


The update is rolling out in China at the moment according to reports and SamMobile speculates that this would likely mean that the flagship handsets like S8, S8+ and the Note 8 will have to wait till next year, aka mid-January to receive this same update.


Aside from fixing multiple problems plaguing all Android devices, the OTA patch will also take care of ten vulnerabilities unique to Samsung devices only. We would say that the update will make its way to other nations as well, but that is not quite going to be the case, given the fact that the Galaxy C7 was only launched in China.

Samsung's flagship S-series handsets are receiving the December patch from the OEM in certain regions which include India, Bangladesh and Nepal. If you can see the same update in some other nearby regions, it's perfectly possible. It's good to see that Samsung isn't delaying the December patch as it did with the October and November patches. While one can argue that there is still no news about the Galaxy S8 and S8+ getting this month's security updates, it has to be remembered that Samsung does have a huge number of handsets in various regions to take care of! The good news is that Samsung has not been playing favorites recently when it comes to security updates as they are clearly being shipped out as soon as they become available and the price of the model in question has nothing to do with it.


As far as the update itself is concerned, it should address multiple Android OS related issues; alongside fixing ten of Samsung's own software related bugs and vulnerabilities. Do check out our firmware section and the daily update list if you want to try and flash the firmware manually instead of waiting impatiently for the package to arrive via OTA.

The December patch had been making rounds on a lot of Samsung handsets recently and the latest names are that of the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. In the US, only Verizon has managed to roll the update out yet, but more carriers should soon follow, so if you own any of the two devices on Sprint or T-Mobile, you are up next!


Outside America, Germany is so far the only known country to get the December update for the unlocked version from Samsung. However, given the nature of these updates, I wouldn't be surprised if it has already started making rounds in a few other European countries as well. Do let us know in the comments if we are missing anything.


The version released for the carrier-locked S7 by Verizon in US has the build version G930VVRU4BQK4, while the S7 Edge has received G935VVRU4BQK4, if you are wondering. On the other hand, the unlocked variant of the S7 in Germany has been updated with firmware version G930FXXS1DQL1 and the S7 Edge with G935FXXS1DQL1.

The Galaxy S6 Edge+ is receiving the November security update from AT&T as you read this. Yes, you read that right, the carrier is rolling out last month's patch in the middle of December! Perhaps they would have skipped the November patch altogether in favor of the December patch, had it not been for the multiple critical vulnerabilities that last month's patch addressed, including the KRACK Wi-Fi hack and the BlueBorne hack. Nevertheless, that's no excuse for sending it out so late. The good news is that it brings Mobile Hotspot APN with it.


The update is a large one at more than 400MB, so make sure that you have your S6 Edge+ hooked up to your Wi-Fi first. Post the download and the installation, you should see the present build number as G928AUCU4EQK6. As you probably know already by now, it fixes 61 Android OS bugs and six of Samsung's own software bugs.

Whether you have the S8 or the S8 Plus, you should be seeing a prompt to update your device to the latest firmware anytime now. In both South Korea and on major US carriers, the December security update is being rolled out via OTA. As of now, T-Mobile was the first but others like Verizon and Sprint should soon follow.


In case you have the Galaxy S8, firmware version on your device should change to G950USQS2BQL1 post the update. If you have the Galaxy S8+ however, then firmware version G955USQS2BQL1 should be heading your way. Both of these are of course for the US versions. Just in case you are looking for the Korean firmware versions, they are G950NKSU1AQL3 and G955NKSU1AQL3 for the S8 and S8+ respectively. If you can see any updates making their way onto any of the two handsets in some other region, let us know about it in the comments.

It might be late in December, but it's still the right month for the security patch which is being rolled out to many smartphones in the Galaxy S6 line-up on AT&T. As of now, the models include the Galaxy S6, S6 Edge and S6 Active (which is an AT&T exclusive). The December patch itself fixes multiple issues that are common to all Android powered devices, but Samsung's own fixes for ten of its overlying software issues are also included in the OTA package.


In addition to the December patch from Google and Samsung, there are also other changes that this important update brings to the aforementioned three devices and they are as follows.


·         Improvement in network coverage and performance on all the three devices

·         Added support for new Mobile Hotspot APN

·         BlueBorne patch


If you are interested to know about the firmware versions, they are as follows.


·         G920AUCU6EQK3 for the Galaxy S6

·         G925AUCU6EQK3 for the Galaxy S6 Edge

·         G890AUCU6DQK3 for the Galaxy S6 Active


All of these updates are around the 400MB mark and we suggest that you download and install this one as soon as possible because it's a really important security update that's already quite a bit late.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are getting updated to the latest security update on T-Mobile. This news comes in right after it was revealed that the Galaxy S6, S6 Edge and S6 Active are getting updated with the December patch on AT&T. Aside from the multiple fixes which the December security update from Google is bringing to all Android devices, it will also be patching ten of Samsung's own software problems. The firmware version for the Galaxy S7 is G930TUVS4BQL2 and it's G935TUVS4BQL2 for the Galaxy S7 Edge. As long as your S7 or S7 Edge is on T-Mobile, you should be prompted for the update anytime now.


If you were hoping for news regarding the Android Oreo update, this is not it. In fact, it will be a while before it happens as the Note 8 and the S8/S8+ are ahead on Samsung's priority list when it comes to major OS upgrades. Once that begins happening sometime in January, the S7 and S7 Edge should be next in line.

The carrier might be late to the party but at least they are finally there. If you own a Galaxy S6 or a S6 Edge on Sprint, you should be prompted anytime now to update your device with the latest security patch. Firmware version of the update is G925PVPS4DQL2 for the Galaxy S6 Edge and G920PVPS4DQL2 for the regular Galaxy S6.


The December patch will be fixing a number of issues that are common to all Android devices, but since it is coming from Samsung, it will have ten additional bug fixes from the OEM itself. Whether the Sprint edition devices will be getting some extra software improvements from the carrier as well is unknown at the moment, but if you own either of the two devices on Sprint, do let us know. If you are eagerly waiting for news regarding when or if the S6 series will be upgraded to Android Oreo, we are sorry to tell you that there is still no official confirmation. Nevertheless, there is definitely a chance that it might, given earlier reports.

Google has just started rolling out this year's first security patch to all its Pixel devices and some of its Nexus devices. Apparently, the patch for this month has two levels; namely the January 1 patches and the January 5 patches. The January 1 patch addresses 20 bugs and vulnerabilities, while the January 5 patch adds 18 more to it. There are some fixes here which have been marked as critical, but fortunately, there have been no reports to indicate that these bugs/vulnerabilities have yet been exploited on any Android smartphone.


In case you are wondering when Samsung will be releasing these patches for their smartphones, I don't think that's going to be any time before the third week of January and that's if we are lucky! Nevertheless, the December patch for most devices has already been rolled out by the company, which should be enough for now.

AT&T has just released a security update for the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge handsets under contract from the carrier. It's only the December security patch though and not the January patch, in case you are wondering. While it is a bit late, carrier updates usually are, so that's not really a big surprise.


This is the first update from the carrier this year and be sure to download and install it as soon as you are prompted to. The firmware version for the Galaxy S7 should be G930AUCS4BQL1 and G935AUCS4BQL1 for the Galaxy S7 Edge. Both of the updates are around the 50MB mark so downloading them should not take too much time at all. It is to be noted that prior to this update, the S7 and S7 Edge was not protected against the BlueBorne security threat on AT&T, but they should be once you have installed the OTA package.

It's mid-January now so it's natural that even Samsung's low-end handsets will start receiving this month's security update and we are about to report just that. The Galaxy J1 Mini and the Galaxy J3 (2017) are the latest Samsung smartphones to be updated with the January security update via OTA. However, we must admit that it would be very unfair to state that Samsung plays favorites when it comes to security updates because they really don't. For example, Samsung started rolling out the January patch for the Galaxy Tab A (2016) first and the tablet was certainly not a flagship model! Add that to the fact that even these mid-Jan updates have reached these two devices before the Galaxy S8 or the Note 8 and it suddenly starts to seem like Samsung actually focuses on releasing the monthly updates for their low-mid range handsets first.


The Galaxy J3 (2017) is receiving firmware version J330FXXU3ARA3 in Russia and Slovakia, while the Galaxy J1 Mini is receiving firmware version J105FXXU0ARA2 in Iran, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, UAE and Kenya. Both updates will solve and address at least five bugs in the base Android OS and thirteen in Samsung's own UI software.

The Galaxy J1 Mini and the Galaxy J3 (2017) might have been Samsung's latest handsets to receive the January patch yesterday, but today, the Galaxy S6 Edge has shown up on top, albeit not in the US yet. It's good news for our readers in India though as the OEM has started sending out this month's security update via OTA for the 2015 flagship handset in the country. Good to see one of the flagships get the update as so far, it has only been the low-end and mid-range models that have received it. While some would complain, I feel that it's good to see a company not holding out security updates intentionally to make its users feel that they favor their costlier handsets, even when it comes to security.


If you happen to own a Galaxy S6 Edge in India, Bangladesh or Nepal, you should see firmware version G925IDVS3FRA1 make its way onto your handset very soon. Expect the update to take care of six critical risks and multiple low-mid risk problems in the Android OS powering the handset. It also includes few of Samsung's own patches (13 to be exact) for extra security.

We have almost reached the end of the third week of January, so it's about time that Samsung's 2017 flagship handsets got updated with this month's patch and thankfully, those updates are finally here. Firmware version G9500ZCU2AQL2 and G9550ZCU2AQL2 are rolling out for the Galaxy S8 and S8+ as you read this, but unfortunately, that's happening only in China right now. Nevertheless, it's definitely a sign that the January security updates are heading for the two flagship handsets from 2017 in all other regions soon.



Another of Samsung's high-end handsets is getting the same update and it's good news for our Indian fans because that's where it is rolling out for the recently released Galaxy A8+. The update itself is moderately sized at 220MB and carries the firmware version A730FXXU1ARA6.


Both the patches will carry all the fixes that the January patch from Google is supposed to bring, in addition to fixing 13 bugs in Samsung's own UI. Hurry up and download it as soon as you are prompted to by your device.

We might be nearing the end of the month, but there's still a week left in it and Samsung has decided to make full use of it by sending out the January security update to as many of its devices as possible before the month ends. The latest news is about the Galaxy A3 (2017) which was reported to have started receiving the update a few hours ago in many of the European nations. Some of the countries confirmed to be receiving the same are Romania, Portugal, Slovakia, Luxembourg and Switzerland. This doesn't mean you can't be receiving the update via OTA in other nations in the European region by any means, so do check your A3 (2017) wherever you are, just to be sure.


If you own the SM-A320FL, the firmware version shipped out to you via OTA should be A320FLXXS2BRAA. As with every other of Samsung's January update, it fixes 13 of the overlying UI issues and multiple Android OS related security threats. Check out our daily list for the day if you don't want to wait and try the firmware out by manually flashing it yourself.

The Note 8 had received its January security patch more than a week back in most regions, but earlier in the day, reports had been coming in to confirm that Samsung has just released another security patch for its latest stylus touting flagship handset. Note that it's not the February security patch (like that would happen on the first day of the month anyway!), but all that the changelog states is "Improved Security." SamMobile reports that so far, the update has only been rolled out in Brazil and France, but that doesn't necessarily mean your Note 8 won't getting this same update if you happen to be in some other location. Let us know if you do.


Firmware version of the unexpected update is N950FXXU3BRA8 and just as the source suggests, this security patch will probably protect the Galaxy Note 8 against the infamous Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities. Whatever the reason for this sudden security measure is, do download and install it as soon as it becomes available for your device because this seems quite urgent.

Among all the confusion regarding Samsung's confusing Android Oreo 8.0 rollout for the Galaxy S8 and S8+, we have good news for owners of the Galaxy A5 (2017); the mid-ranger is getting the February patch in Russia as you read this. Which means that it's only a matter of time before every other region where the Galaxy A5 (2017) was released by Samsung is soon going to be receiving the same patch via OTA.


This makes the Galaxy A5 (2017) among the first devices in Samsung's arsenal to receive the February patch and that is not surprising, given the fact that the Galaxy A-series of smartphones have indeed been the first smartphones to get the monthly security updates from the manufacturer for the last few months. I guess they ae taking the name "A" pretty seriously!


The update comes in as firmware version A520FXXU4BRB1 and alongside patching Meltdown and Spectre, it brings 15 fixes for Samsung's own overlying software and multiple patches for the underlying Android Nougat OS.

Can you guess which device we are talking about? Well, you don't have to because we will tell you! The Galaxy J3 (2017) has started to receive the security update for April in Netherlands and Luxembourg, but we wouldn't be surprised if certain other European countries have also begun to receive the patch by the time you get around to reading this. While Samsung has been pretty much on time recently with the monthly security updates, it's still March, so it's actually very surprising to see the April security patch arrive for the Galaxy J3 (2017) so early!


In fact, this makes the Galaxy J3 (2017) not only the first smartphone in Samsung's arsenal to receive the update, but the first phone till date from any OEM to receive the April patch! That includes the Google Pixel phones as well and they are always the first devices to get the monthly patch. Furthermore, Google themselves have not detailed the April security patch yet, so nobody has any idea what this patch contains and protects against!

We are now used to seeing Android security patches of the month making their way onto budget Samsung smartphones first and this month is no exception to that recent trend either. However, instead of a device in the company's Galaxy A series like in the previous month, we have the Galaxy J2 Pro in May which is getting this month's security patch first among Samsung's recent arsenal of smartphones. Although some are of the opinion that the flagships should be updated first, we think that this is actually a good move by the Korean OEM as it shows that they roll out updates as soon as they are ready, without prioritizing one over the other just for the sake of their price point.


The update should be making rounds in Bangladesh as of now but if you are in any other region where the device is sold, it should not be long before the same OTA package makes its way onto your device as well. In the meanwhile, do check out all available updates for your Samsung smartphones and tablets on YouMobile's firmware section.

We are nearing the end of the month's third week, but Samsung has only just started rolling out this month's updates to its arsenal of eligible smartphones. The latest names on that list are those of the Galaxy S8, Galaxy J7 pro and the Galaxy A9 Star Lite, which are receiving the June patch in USA, India and China respectively.


In case you own a Galaxy A6 or A6+, expect the same update to start hitting the two models very soon as well. The thing is that the Galaxy A9 Star Lite is the rebranded Chinese version of the Galaxy A6+ and that means the update for the A6+ should go live any day now. The more interesting question is, where is the June security patch for the Galaxy S9 and S9+? In spite of being the latest flagship smartphones in the company's arsenal, Samsung has not been very regular or prompt with updating the two devices and that is raising some questions. On the other hand, this also shows that Samsung does not restrict security patches from rolling out to low - mid range phones, just because the same for the more expensive devices are not yet ready.

Samsung has always been favorable towards the Galaxy A devices when it comes to providing fast, security updates and the month of July is no exception either. The Galaxy A6 is being updated with the July patch in Europe (Netherlands, Spain and Germany), but if you own the handset in some other region, it should not take too long for the patch to be released everywhere. The firmware version released for this month is A600FNXXU2ARF7 for the A6.


The Galaxy A8 and A8+ has already been updated with the July patch in most sections, but just in case you won one of the two handsets and have not received it yet, don't worry because it will probably arrive by the end of the week. Although the update is routine security and does not mention any specific big bug fix, each and every one of the security patches are very important these days so download and install it as soon as it becomes available. The only visible change you will see after the update is that a "Secured by Knox" image will pop up each time the phone boots on.

As far as Android smartphones are concerned, Samsung is still pretty infamous for its own software slowing down even the company's flagship offerings in the past. According to reports from multiple users, the security update from June is further adding to this problem by significantly slowing down the Galaxy S9+.


The good news is that the lag in performance can be addressed by cache partition clearing and optimization tools, while the bad news is that such fixes seem to have only temporary effect. After a while, the smartphones are reverting back to being laggy. The only solution as of now is to uninstall the June security patch and erase the entire device, but that's a lot of hassle, which is not advised unless you know how to install ROMs with Odin 3.


Even for the average Joe, the problem might disappear pretty soon though, because the July security patch has already started rolling out to the Galaxy S9 and S9+ in many regions. Hopefully, it will be able to address this issue effectively.

We are still in the first week of August and Samsung has already started to push out the security patch of the month to the Galaxy S8. It should be noted that the S9 and S9+ are still running on the July patch, so this is a bit of a surprise. In case you are wondering if this includes the Galaxy S8+ as well, the answer would be a no. Don't worry though, because it's probably almost ready for the S8+ as well and it is quite possible that by the time you are done reading this article, the S8+ might already have started getting the same update.


The 418.18MB update comes in as firmware version G950FXXU3CRGH and aside from the security boost, it will also improve the game launcher apparently. Given how useless the app really is to be frank, we are not sure why they would even bother to be honest, especially when Samsung could have just sent the improvements via a solo app update.

If you live in South Korea, you should be getting the August security patch any time now on your Galaxy S6 Edge+ or Galaxy Note 5. Even if you don't live in South Korea, this is good news because it means that the updates are already being rolled out and should be making their way onto the two models in other regions very soon. Earlier in the week, the S7 and S7 Edge started receiving the same firmware update.


It is always good to see Samsung looking out for its older smartphones as well. Flagship devices as they were back in 2015, these are pretty old now at 3+. Even then they are good smartphones that are running pretty smoothly till date for most people and the Galaxy Note 5 in particular is still a beast of a device.

If you are wondering why there isn't a year mentioned within brackets like the rest of the smartphone models in the Galaxy J-series, then that's because there never was another version of the Galaxy J6 released before May, 2018. As of a few hours ago, firmware version J600FNXXU3ARH1 went live in certain sections of Europe (Italy in particular) and although it will take a few days till everyone has the update waiting for them via OTA, rest assured that it will come to you if you are in Europe. If you live in some other region where the Galaxy J6 is sold officially, then you might have to wait a little longer, but even that should not take too long, now that the firmware is truly out and about.


Aside from addressing multiple bugs and vulnerabilities in the base Android OS, the August security update from Google and Samsung also fixes 4 critical vulnerabilities and 11 Samsung related bugs respectively. If you see the update waiting on your smartphone, it's better to download and install it as soon as possible since this one seems to be addressing quite a few credible security threats.

Note-9-september-update


It's late September and the latest flagship handset in Samsung's arsenal has just started to receive this month's security patch on two carriers in the US. Firmware version N60USQS1ARH6 is making its way onto the Galaxy Note 9 on AT&T and Sprint as you read this, so if you own the device on a contract from any of the two carriers, the update should arrive on your smartphone via OTA any minute now. This news comes in mere hours after users on Verizon started to receive the same update on their versions of the Galaxy Note 9.


In case you are wondering when the unlocked version and the other carrier models are going to get their September patch, we may not have an exact date for you. Nonetheless, expect T-Mobile to follow up soon enough. Unfortunately, if you own an unlocked version, no one can really make any estimates as in the US, unlocked variants get security updates pretty late for some reason!

a5-2017-october-patch


It's rather early for Galaxy devices to be receiving this month's security patch on most months, but not in October, as Samsung has just released the latest security update for the Galaxy A5 (2017) in India. Not that it was the first device in Samsung's arsenal to get October's update though, the Galaxy Note 9 already received the same patch earlier.


12 Critical Vulnerabilities or CVEs will be fixed by the update, alongside bringing in multiple other bug fixes and patches. As always, there are patches exclusive to Samsung devices (11 in total) included as well. In India, the firmware version sent via OTA is A520FXXU7CRID, so that's what you should be seeing if the update has indeed arrived on your phone. If you are reading this in any other region, don't worry, the same update will be released in your area too, and very soon at that.

note-9-october-update


The Galaxy Note 9 is definitely the most recent flagship handset released by Samsung, but it had not yet received this month's patch until a few hours ago. The company did release two simultaneous patches just recently though, but neither had the October patch in them.


The latest update which contains the security update for October comes in as version N960FXXS2ARJ4. The patch is relatively barebones at just 70MB and expectedly, doesn't do anything except improve the security of your Galaxy Note 9. Aside form multiple smaller fixes, the firmware will upgrade the phone's OS with patches against 12 critical Android OS vulnerabilities and 11 bugs in Samsung's own software.


As per reports, regions in Europe (Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria) are receiving the OTA file right now, but by the time you are done reading this, the update could very well have already arrived on your phone too.

tab-s3-october-patch


The last week of the month is already on its way, but as usual, not all of Samsung's smartphones and tablets have yet received the October patch. We have good news for you if you have the Galaxy Tab S3 though, because this month's patch just started rolling out for the device a few hours ago.


As per reports, the update, which comes in as firmware version T825XXU2BRJ1, is rolling out in the United Kingdom as of now and only for the LTE variant of the device. The Wi-Fi variant will also be receiving the same update in a few days we are sure though. As far as other regions are concerned, let's hope Samsung starts sending the October patch out globally by the end of the month. While the Tab S3 is old at this point, it is still the second last flagship tablet that Samsung has released in years!

galaxy-note-9-december-patch


Deep into the second week of December, Samsung has decided to release this month's update for the company's latest Galaxy Note. Some of the other handsets, including the Galaxy S9+ has already received it though. If you are wondering where the patch is rolling out exactly, then you might be disappointed unless of course, you are reading this in Hong Kong, because that's the only region where the update is being rolled out via OTA for the Note 9, as per the report by SamMobile.


The firmware version on the update is N9600ZHU1ARL1 and just as every other December patch, it fixes six critical bugs and vulnerabilities in the base Android OS. In case you are running the Android Pie beta firmware on your device, beware that this firmware is not meant for your device, so don't try to flash it manually over the Android 9.0 beta, unless you want to brick your Galaxy Note 9!

note-9-january-patch


Samsung might have released Android 9 Pie for the Galaxy Note 9 in a number of countries, but China is still not in the list of the lucky nations unfortunately. However, the latest Note from Samsung is receiving the latest Android security patch in the region and it comes in as firmware version N9600ZCS1ARL7. While I am pretty sure that Chinese readers would have been a lot more glad to hear about the OS upgrade than hearing about just the January patch, it is an important security update nonetheless and if it has arrived on your smartphone already, we suggest you get it installed as soon as possible to secure your Galaxy Note 9 against the security threats.


As per Samsung Mobiles China, they will update the Galaxy S9, S9+ and the Galaxy Note 9 with Android 9 Pie, by the end of February. As of now, users in India, UAE, South Korea and Germany have confirmed that they are receiving the OS update in their respective regions, so let's hope that Note 9 users from the rest of the world are also able to join them soon enough.

galaxy-j6-plus-february-patch


The Galaxy J6+ is a low-end device in every sense of the term, but it is among the first devices from Samsung to get the latest February patch from the OEM. As of now, the patch is only rolling out in Europe (Germany to be specific), as per SamMobile.


Firmware version J610FNXXU1ASA2, which carries this month's security update, has been out and about from February 6, according to the report. Just in case you have not received it yet in spite of being in Germany, it might be time to try searching for it manually from your J6+'s Software Update section.


For those that are expecting Android 9 Pie on their Galaxy J6+, we actually have good news in that regard too! According to confirmed reports, the J6+ will be among first budget Galaxy devices to receive an OS upgrade to Android 9 Pie. Of course, that's still a bit away, (April to be precise), but given how few low-end smartphones will get the update, it's actually good news for those that have the a J6+.

galaxy-a50-march-patch


The security patch of the month has still not reached as many Samsung handsets as it should have by now, but the Galaxy A50 becomes one of the first to receive the update via OTA in India and Sri Lanka. Given that the handset was both meant for and launched in the subcontinental regions, that doesn't really come as a surprise though.


Once you realize the fact that the Galaxy A50 is a mid-ranger ($285 approx.), the device does sport some pretty amazing specs for the price really, which includes a 6.4-inch, FHD+ Super AMOLED display, a 25-mp sensor with two additional 8-mp and 5-mp sensors on both its sides to make an impressive triple camera setup for the smartphone. It does sport a notch though, that Samsung calls "Infinity-U," but we all know it as the teardrop/waterdrop/dewdrop notch that you have seen on countless other devices in the last six months or so. The firmware will land via OTA as version A505FDDU1ASC1, and since this one is indeed quite a critical security patch, do get your device updated as soon as possible.

note-8-april-patch-2019


Just a few days ago, Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile started to upgrade the OS on their respective variants of the Galaxy Note 8 in US with Android 9 Pie, which also had the March security patch embedded in it as well.


Now Samsung has begun to send the April security update for the Note 8 (international variant) in Europe. Although a number of other countries could also be included on the list by the time you get around to reading this, the source names Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Russia to be among the first. Take a look at the firmware version and a few key elements to be expected from the update below.


·        Firmware Version: N950FXXS5DSC5

·        Fixes multiple High-Risk vulnerabilities in the base Android OS, as stated by Google

·        Fixes five Critical vulnerabilities in the base Android OS, as stated by Google

·        Patches fifteen vulnerabilities unique to the Samsung UI, as stated by Samsung
