LMAO!

In my village there used to be an old boy who was good at mending motor vehicles and farm machinery. If you asked him what the problem was, he invariably replied... "It's US young 'un".

Apparently, it was an old expression and meant Up the Spout, meaning it was no longer working, beyond repair, completely failed. See...

It would seem, unusually, that Samsung has issued 2 different updates for the September release on their international Fold5 devices, F946B.

One appears to be for European CSC codes and is F946BXXU1AWI3 and includes the September security patch and undisclosed changes.

The non European devices are receiving build F946BXXS1AWI4 and is just the September security patch.

Yeah that's strange

The only difference I have been able to detect between the European AWI3 update for the international Fold 5 devices, F946B, is that the baseband/modem has been updated to AWI3 along with the firmware and the non European devices have an older baseband/modem of AWG3. Compare screenshots in post #1 and below.

Welcome to the club. I must say, T-Mobile (USA) are pretty quick when it comes to updates,

I am sometimes asked why I always add (USA) to T-Mobile and it is so as not to confuse it with the T-Mobile European networks.

Or as we call them in the UK, "E".

It would appear that the September update is also rolling out in the USA to unlocked users, F946U1, on Verizon, also.

 

[jhnnyblze2000]

Just got mine on Verizon unlocked.

 

[ironass]

Looks like AT&T are the first on their locked devices, F946U, to release the September update, F946USQS1AWI1.

[EDIT] Closely followed by T-Mobile (USA) and Metro PCS.

At last!

After 8 days since the release of the September update on the European release, Samsung have begun to push out the carrier branded September firmware for the U.K..

First of these is for EE carrier branded devices on CSC code EVR. See post #1 to see how to check if it is available for you.

and I thought US rollout was bad

I have never known such a dogs breakfast of a roll-out for the international devices. Firstly, all the non European devices get just a security patch and are rolled out fairly quickly and then the European regional phones get a security patch and, "Device behaviour has been improved", and now a week later, the roll-out continues for the country and carrier phones. If I didn't know better, I would say that Samsung were beta testing the European release on the regional code, first.

Good point, thanks for the translation
