Samsung have begun rolling out the July Android security patch level: 01.07.2016 to the international G900F phones with their first release for Vodafone Italy on Product code OMN.
Apparently, some Canadian carriers have released - about 4 days ago - PDA version [FONT="]G900W8VLS1DPF3, changelist 7722359. But not yet Bell or Rogers. There may be hope yet for us to get a security update... still "rocking" April 2![/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE]
Weirder still, those Canadian regional releases for the [B][B]G900[COLOR="#FF0000"]W8[/B][/B] on the latest PF3 build, just released, are still only on the June security patch and not the latest July release. No change to firmware build as the changelist remains the same as the old PD3 build, #7722359
Rogers has been released now... PDA: G900W8VLS1DPF3 CSC: G900W8OYA1DPF3 CHANGELIST: 7722359 BUILD DATE: 13.06.2016
Whoops... yea, my bad. I see Rogers in the list on sammobile. Still no love for the Bell customers. I would be happy today to get at least the June release. Then again, I would also be happier if Bell held off for a couple more days and gave us the July security update.
It is unusual for the Canadian regional model, G900W8, to break ranks as they are all updated en masse for all carriers... that is, until the last 2 or 3 releases ago, when the slow pokes have been left behind.
Indeed it is. It is either going to be better for us Bell customers (meaning newer security update), the same (same level, just slower releasing it) or worse (we never see this update).
I'm still hoping for #1. (just a sec - have to go clean my rose-coloured glasses)
Yep. There it is now. A paltry 26.4 MB
And June 1 patch. Not too bad... but since it's so small, there's no real reason why it had to come out so late. We're almost already two months behind as it is now.
Meanwhile, I just sit here with my international model, G900F, with Marshmallow that came out nearly 7 months ago and on the July 2016 security patch, waiting patiently for the August 2016 security patch in about 2 weeks.

Nobody likes you.
