Vodafone UK and One UI 6

[JWindle92]

Does anyone know when Vodafone will approve and push out the One UI 6 stable update for S23 series in the UK?

My S23 Ultra is locked to that network as I purchased it directly through them back in March, which is also the reason why I haven't been able to take part in the beta.

I'm keeping my eyes peeled on the settings for when it does eventually come through.

Hi! I'm on vodafone as well and still didn't get it! 😡

[JWindle92]

I did, but I can't seem to find anything relevant to this topic through them.

I bought my s23 2nd hand and it must be a three network device, however my O2 sim works fine with it. I haven't received the update yet either.

Vodafone UK hasn't pushed out the update yet to S23 series phones. It's still testing it. If you got your phone from Vodafone, it will have Vodafone branded firmware. And, even though it's had all the beta versions as well, it's still in testing. Sigh. O2 and EE got their updates out on Monday when the update was released for generic phones. 

I don't think Vodafone has quite caught up with the fact that major software updates for flagship phones are eagerly anticipated by users....mainly because of the major publicity campaigns about the "great new features". 

Come on Voda....catch up.

I noticed you commented on a different post relevant to this one saying that Vodafone got back to you on this matter, saying that they were still testing and they didn't give an exact timeframe as to when they will push the update through.

I'd have thought they were better than this 🤣 I get my device was ineligible for the beta but it's getting ridiculous at this point when you think about it.

[Iain321]

I agree. Being this late with a much heralded major update is inexcusable....unless of course Vodafone tech have found a genuinely significant incompatibility even though the other networks have released it. Here's the reply I got from Vodafone CS. I asked why it was held up and had they found a flaw:

[Iain321]

One day later and Vodafone are still testing the software. It'll be released as soon as....blah....blah....blah

Yeee and still waiting If it would be possible I would debrand this vodafone ***** completely.

Well, this is what I just woke up to on Friday 3rd November 2023 at 7:58am. Better late than never, eh? 😁
