AUGUST 1st UPDATE GAVE ME BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

I have the Galaxy S10 Plus Unlocked, I currently use it on sprint. The update that had been pushed to my phone gave it the black screen of death. i am just curious if anyone else faces this? Also i reached out to samsung and they said many users reported it today and some users got locked out of their devices because certain updates put a pin number on the phone...... I get to go to the local samsung certified bestbuy to have them fix the problem. My phone still gets buzzs and vibrates but I cant see it!

Its been up since the start of November. Nothing new.
THIS however, is somewhat new: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-17527
Last time I checked they had the coming soon/ registration page for nexus 6.
Maybe I missed it
No white had been confirmed way before this.

It's been up for almost 2 weeks now. I did the whole notify me, registered with my email so I know for a fact it's been up and it showed both colors.

It's never shown both colors on the T-Mobile site. I've seen that page when it first showed up and it's never had a white option to select.
Even @askdes confirmed no white way back when the phone was first announced.

I could be wrong but I always remember it only having blue listed so that's why I said it's nothing new.
So if you buy the phone outright from t-mobile can you then use it on Verizon?

LOL what a joke. They've been playing customers all this time getting them amped up to come to them for the phone and then they push back the release.
Why is it that every single Nexus release since the original has been a horrible mess of release dates, availability, and price? This is ridiculous. I'm guessing it was Google that pushed it back, since they've also neglected to update other Nexus devices with Android 5.0, but someone needs to come out and actually talk to their customers about this garbage.

Funny thing is, I called a few stores around here (in Cleveland...still a fairly large metropolitan area) and only 2 even knew what a Nexus 6 was...and those two said they hadn't gotten a shipment and were hoping to get one tomorrow.
That was before T-Mo broke the news that they don't know how to run a business.

Hahahah I swear one of the stores didn't know what I am talking about. I said never mind [emoji1] same thing happened to the note 4 the biggest store here had 7 in the store and some had 4. Shame on them. Oh well we can't do anything and just wait

Just got my S7 Edge today cant wait to get into this rom

anyone else get there S7? I havent opened it yet but we are gonna get this thing rolling
Did you receive a email and or tracking number prior to delivery or was it a surprise?
I'd be curious about the notification ahead of time as well.
I got the traking number from the Sprints website one hour before my phone was delivered last night. They are slow to update their system I guess. I had been checking the website every 30 minutes. The Gear VR is on back order and ships by the 7th it says.

Sign up for UPS tracking through the UPS site. I never got a notification from Sprint, but as soon as Sprint created the shipping label UPS notified me.
CAN"T WAIT FOR ROOT!
Not sure if you guys have kept up with every thread, but our bootloader is locked, thats a very bad thing.
I got my two Gear VRs in the mail on Friday. They are cool, but chew the battery up and the GS7 gets hot during use.
Get used to that rom. Gonna be here awhile lol

Not true, both Bootloader 3 and 4 have stable working root methods for sprint and I've ran both of those with no problems at all, it just takes a while to set up.

June Security Update?

Is it me or does it seem like T-Mobile/Samsung is taking along time in getting June's update to us? I hope its not the start of us being out of date for months and months. I'm assuming its T-Mobile as Samsung has been sending out the updates and even most of the flagships on Verizon have gotten it. Just curious if any one feels like this too.
I was thinking the same the past days
We got the June security update last month. Remember?

We will see haha I don't think they would know but being it's the end of the month it's a possibility.
Yeah I hope they do being that it's the 26th. Anyway he said the chance is high because he was reading AT&T got the update. From what I've seen they are usually the last to update phones. So fingers crossed we'll have it.

Maybe they have been too busy with the tuesdays app going down to approve any updates haha??
Haha probably so, I've been thinking that it may be part of it. It's really nice they offer rewards to their customers, but you think they would have been more prepared for alot of people using the app I mean it's free stuff lol.
If they follow their pattern of the previous updates, the update will most likely be the July security patch(and more hopefully ).

Oh well ill be leaving on a long vacation in a few days and I'll be out of cell range so perhaps a surprise will be waiting for me come mid july.
It's not out yet. I will call today and see what they say. After months of security updates and nothing this month. Maybe they are getting us the camera update that we never got. I hope so. I do not like this, i should have gotten one unlocked.
Their other phones aren't faring well either. I think the HTC 10 is still on March update. ?

It seems more likely we will go right to July by now I'm sure it's already been given to samsung and to carriers for testing. Just think how hard it's gonna be waiting for Android "N" Come the end of this year, start of next year.
I just called. There is no update planned for June or July. Or August. So I guess hope for Android N early.

Tmobile reps would never know that. Stop relying on them they go off the same info we use. They won't know until the day it goes live just like us. The approval process is handled by tmobile and samsungs servers send it out for download once someone okays it, but I assure you it isn't Rick in customer service that knows when that happens. Lol

I just got the US unlocked version today: same exact hardware. Just no carrier apps or bloat. I have no intention of rooting as it will break Samsung and Android pay which I use.
Thanks..
I can report voLTE and wifi-calling work with the unlocked version on T-Mobile. Like the previous poster stated, there is no bloat or carrier apps. Tethering works out of the box.
Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk
Do you notice any improvement in multitasking or overall system speed? I'm trying to determine how much of a difference bloat is making in my overall experience.
I don't have a carrier version to compare it to but so far the phone is pretty snappy. I haven't had any issues with ram management or slow downs.
Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk
Interesting my new unlocked US version is still on May security updates while all carrier versions are on July update. Not a good sign if Samsung is prioritizing carrier versions and ignoring the unlocked version.
Same here May security date. With the phone just launching I'm guessing they will go straight to the July update, bringing it up to the carrier versions.

Yes, and that is what I am worrying about. Remember the Samsung Galaxy S4 Dev Edition? There was not ONE single update.
I hope this phone doesn't fall into the same camp. I have a 30 day return period w/ BH Photo so if there are no updates by Aug 1, it will be returned. I already initiated the RMA process to be on the safe side and have my form should I need it.

Nice good strategy, my 14 day return window in best buy will be the coming weekend. I think I'll just keep and see how it goes. If they aren't updating I'm going to sell this when next Nexus comes anyway and probably will not bother with unbranded versions of Samsung phones.

Hows the snapdragon processor? Do you guys enjoy your phones without root or full control of your own phone?
How's strong is the signals?

Can you screenshot the info page so that I can see the build number?
Anyone know if there is VoLTE on at&t with the unlocked version? This is a deal breaker for me. Not really worried about video or wifi calling.

Yes unlocked SM-N986U1 XAA is still on ATH3.
The updates were frequent on S20 Ultra devices this spring, no doubt they were scrambling like a cat on a hot tin roof trying to fix the autofocus fiasco. Now it would appear they are back to their normal update frequency.
