security updates?

[Almeuit]

This is normal. This is why people get mad at carrier branded phones and a good reason as to why I am dumping my S8+ for the Pixel 2 when it comes out .

it's almost October and my T-Mobile is still on July patch. I have bixby set to check as part of a daily quick-command. but "device is up to date" is all I get. looks like unlocked devices are getting updates faster than carrier ones now.

My US Unlocked S8+ and T-Mobile Note 8 are both on the August 1 patch.

now I don't feel so bad, seeing the unlocked S8+ is only at August and my tmo is July my old unused note edge is july and my note5 is August.

Unlocked S8 still on August patch

I have the Samsung S7 and can also confirm that the first August Patch causes battery drain. If you have any available update after that, install it, there is a following firmware version - August Patch with BlueBorne fixes & others, that fixes the problem. If you are still in July patch, you are probably lucky not to have the problematic version so be positive Android updates are not that reliable so just stick with what you have and wait.

How did you get bixby to check for updates?

No issues here at all
