It's now mid-February and we're still on the November security update. Several high-risk exploits have been found and patched in the subsequent months, but we're left exposed. Anyone know if we have any legal remedy for AT&T's dereliction?
Well there is a android N build out now on Xda with the latest February security patch so I doubt AT&T has abandoned support.

I'm glad xda has not abandoned support, but that doesn't excuse AT&T for failing to push out the updates.
Looks like it's coming out OTA this evening!

Not sure why. Several days elapsed between those two posts. And while It's good that we have this update, three months is still too long to wait for monthly security updates.

The pure irony of the 2 comments less than 1/2 hour apart

Well, both comments are accurate, but you're right that the timing was amusing.
Nougat came last night for me, shame it takes months for such high quality and priced phones

When Will It Be Done And What Is Its Version ?

I must have answered this question a million times now. Only Samsung knows when the update will drop and they don't give any notification beforehand. Anyone who tries to say otherwise or tries to tell you when they think it'll drop is merely speculating. So the update will come when it does, whether that's today, tomorrow, a week, a month, a year, or never. Nobody here knows at all when
When it does come out, I would guess you will get android 5.1.1. That's what the 8.0 models are getting, and their updates started later than the 10.1 updates
Also, this has been bugging me for a while, do you and DUHAsianSkillz have some sort of intercontinental franchise going? :silly:
Speculation:
↓
Samsung bosses gave mid month deadline to tab 4 updates, it reads in youmobile, so firmware should come in a week or max 1.5 weeks! otherwise some ppl r gonna lose their jobs

YouMobile told that Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 can expect update at late july or early august. Maybe there is any chance for earlier update as we all know that even samsung doesn't know when update will be pushed into ota .

thanx 4 the link.
In case you didn't know, T-Mobile has just confirmed via their support page the list of devices - Note 4 included- receiving Android 6.0 in the upcoming weeks/months.
https://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones-tablets-devices/software-updates#tmoSUPDocTitle
Thanks,
Awesome. So we'll probably get it by 2017.
Probably about the same time as Android Nougat is released.

Don't you mean Android Zeppole?
Wait... So 5.1.1 was/is being slipped over?
Wow, so really when did T-Mobile fall way behind Verizon as the worst carrier for getting out updates? It used to be Verizon was far worse then all the carriers for getting out updates. I wish Sammy would just make there phones with Vanilla Android and the Spen and features work on those Kernels. Imagine CM with a working Spen suit?
How soon can we expect to see custom Marshmallow ROMs for our devices based on the ASOP Nexus Marshmallow ROMs?
So another 6ish months before we can hope to have an update. Skipping the one we know works. Hopefully Marshmallow isn't nearly as bad as when lollipop 5.0 landed. T-mobile is just about worthless for updates.

Yes, my understanding is that both will receive the update.
Its in Phase-1. T-mobile will take 4-5 months to test the software with their crapware, then it will be ready for us .

If the CEO truly wants to be the uncarrier he should get updates to us much faster. ;p

lol I feel your pain. I feel that way. But I'm actually one of those guys that hates battery drains and such so i never ever take a major update untill its been out awhile and i know there aren't issues. That's why I'm still on 4.4.4 running Hyperdrive RLS3 cause 5.0.1 i constantly hear the battery is noticeably worse on 5.0.1 then Kit Kat.
So Updates aren't crazy important to me, it's easy for me to just sit back and wait.

BaHumBug! We, Tmobile customers, should have already learned the lesson by now that this only means a 6-7 month wait for 6.0 (possible bugs too) and most will move on to different phones/carriers by then. I love my Note 4, I think it is still a great overall phone but Tmobile sucks with updates.
Also can't wait for those that will come to this thread lets say about 2-3 months from now that will ask "so did 6.0 come out yet?" or "Any news on 6.0?".
If this article is to be believed, there seems to be a certain Note 4 missing from development by Samsung....
I'll give you a hint... It starts with a T and ends with a Mobile.

Yep http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-android-7-0-nougat-beta-726792/
Looks like Nougat beta is coming very soon (in the next few days) so I wouldn't be surprised if we got Nougat by the end of the month. But I also wouldn't be surprised if it didn't come around until the end of the year.

I wouldn't be so quick to blame Samsung. It's Vzw. They have to strip out useful features they charge for. Add their trash and then remember to upload it to their update servers.

I believe the beta is filled, you could try by downloading Galaxy Beta Program from Samsung app store. And yes it is for stock Verizon. They are pushing Sprint's beta today, Verizon tomorrow, and T-Mobile on Saturday.
I have never been a "I need the latest patch now" expect for the September patch that fixed some big vulnerabilities like blueborne.
Do you think we will see it in the next few weeks?

Nah, with that bluetooth security issue I was expecting the next update to include the security patch as well.
So I am using the Armis vulnerability scanner and it said vulerable until yesterdays update to v1.05, and now it says "safe" .How is this possible?

Don't be That exploit has been around for years. Moat of the security holes in these updates have been around since day 1 of android. Google just pushes them to make people think they are worried about security.
Over the years I've noticed that just prior to a release of a Preview or incremental numeric progression, Google's apps undergo a flurry of updates. Seems like there's been a ton of updates to Google apps over the last week or so. Just speculating. Wanted to point it out. I think we're going to see one or the other on the first March Monday or Wednesday. The first P Preview was released on March 7 (a Wednesday) last year.
You definitely have a point, all of a sudden almost all Google apps are getting updates. Let's see what we have in store for us.
Cheers
March is very likely. The last 3 previews have been released in March.
