As reported for other carriers, ARJ5 is 438.90 MB, has the Oct. 1 security patch level, and lists various camera improvements (but not a fix for the camera-freeze problem). Camera version is now 8.5.05.25.

The ARJ5 update is not yet documented on T-Mobile's Note9 support page. I have the SM-960U1 model (US unlocked), but the update is presumably available for the carrier-branded model too.

Are you guys who are receiving all on unlocked devices? Just using the T-Mobile network?

If so, wouldnt that mean that its just rolling out to the unlocked devices now, irrespective of carrier? Not actual T-Mobile Note 9s. I'm on a T-Mobile Note 9 and got nothing.

You'd be correct, everyone I've seen get it on T-Mobile has been unlocked.

Didn't T-Mobile [use] to be good at timely updates? Now it seems they're almost last.

As I understand it, even the unlocked phones get their updates from whichever carrier they're using. T-Mobile unlocked Note9s just got the ARJ5 update today, but some unlocked Note9s on other carriers got their ARJ5 updates a week or two ago. I don't know why the T-Mobile branded Note9s are lagging behind the T-Mobile unlocked Note9s, but I'd expect them all to update very soon too.

I've just downloaded it and am installing it now to my unlocked Note 9. I am on Sprint.
This thread is specific to T-mobile. So far, it sounds like unlocked on T-mobile is get tong the update and T-mobile branded not getting the update yet.

I checked this morning and I have an update ARJ8? But it has the same October security date as ARJ5?

Yes, you do.

Yes, it does.

It's not unusual for multiple firmware versions to share the same security date, even for the same phone model. In this case, it's possible that the unlocked T-Mobile Note9s (N960U1) are getting ARJ5 while the branded ones (N960U) are getting ARJ8, but the two updates may have the same changes.

I finally got mine as well. No mention of camera updates. But, I'm assuming it's included due to the size.
However, Samsung's website is not showing camera updates, either.
