Security updates are sent as OTA updates. Moto has said that they will not be releasing security updates monthly. I'd guestimate one security update a quarter.

ok, so is there a way or app to download them? or is just an ota upgrade.
Do any roms have these included?

Stagefright Security Update for D802?

I thought that LG recently promised to roll out security updates monthly? But on my D802, Stagefright is still not fixed.
I wait for it too :/

Yeah, but it's not only about that fix but about LG having promised customers and Google that it would roll out monthly security updates. So where are they?
Anyone?

930U Android Security Patch Level

I just flashed the unlocked 930U ROM on my Verizon S7. I notice that the Android Security Level is all the way back to May. Is there any way to force an update of this?
Go to Korea and kidnap the team responsible for updating that rom. Then, force them to build a rom with the newest security patch. Easy as pie...

LMAO no no no I meant to catch up to whatever the newest is. Maybe my understanding is wrong, but I thought that the security updates were pushed out separate from the actual ROM update itself.

They haven't had any so no way to get them.
May is the latest patch date for the 930u. I've been checking daily for an update. I even have the Samsung Smart Switch app installed on my PC looking for the updates for the phone. I'm not sure if the updates are going to come OTA or if they will be a PC download only. It would be nice to get one!

I just did my daily update check and a 180mb update downloaded and is installing now. Nothing exciting in the changelog. Improved stability of the Dial??? Security updates, etc.
The update size is 163.86MB for me

Android Security Patch Level

I opt-in for Android Beta Program a while back (to get Android Nougat and now I'm on 7.1.1), however today is November 14ths and yet still no OTA update for November security patch...
Am I the only one who didn't get update?
Where do you find OTA image for beta? I'm in the same boat but I am rooted.

Most likely google isn't doing a separate update for just a security patch on dev preview 1... There will be a larger update to dev preview 2 sometime this month which I'm sure will also include the updated security patch.

I apologize, I was under impression ota is available, but after double checking it's only available for 7.0, not 7.1.1. Sorry)

imo, monthly security update should still be *monthly*, but maybe it's just me..

DP1 was released Oct 19, with the October security update. DP2 will probably be out within the next week or so with the November security update. Which is about 1 month later...
Sure seems like *monthly* to me.
What more do you want?
November security patch
I have not enrolled in Beta program but I still did not receive the November security update for my Nexus 6P, is it me only or it has not been released yet? (I'm on N 7.0 version)

It has been released (nbd91k). Make sure your Google apps are up-to-date. You could also try clearing cache in recovery.
Or even sideload manually the ota (search google ota image angler)

It should come as an automatic OTA or you can manually check for update in the settings>System update. I had to manually check for it but the OTA was live within a few minutes of the Pixel's update announcement on Mon.

Is it working that way, to sum all the updates to one OTA update if you missed one or more updates ?

From what I saw, yes. The users that skip an update get a much larger ota update later than what a regularly updated user would get.

I don't think, it is for beta.
yah, i got that (224.0 MB) previously im on oct security patch v9.6.14.0
and after the patch i got v9.6.16.0
nothing noticed what have change in real
just security patch i think
Well, this should be true November update then, with some fixes, patches and changes in the system.
@twentyfourinc , the security patch updates are about 100mb, everything above has some changes for phone itself.
I just got v9.6.16 after the update, I think it's just the November security patch, mine was 300mb, but I was on June security patch before
The security patch updates are about 100mb is correct...

Same here, but now the "About Phone" menu has moved up to the initial settings page, above all other settings. Wondering If It was intentional, feels weird having It there
