September security patch

[Androidsweden41]

Will the September security patch still be void even tho we don't receive one ui 8 yet?

Northern Europe is estimated to recive the one ui 8 update late October probably even begining of november due to the update plan for the lower series of S23-S24 and A-series phones. I haven't personally found a way for us in Northern Europe to apply for beta testing of one ui 8 beta either on the lower series galaxy S phones. Just a rekommendation to go via the samsung members ap. And even here i can't find it. Just have to wait like the rest of us peasants for the stable update in a couple of months and then complain if we find something irregular. OTA is still in batches remember that folks so the last phones to be updated in Northern Europe could take as long as beginning of 2026 for us less fortunate. Believe me ive been testing so many phones and how fast they update globally. Samsung is among the 5 fastest but can improve OTA. Stay safe out there M-tech

Here is what we know so far. The release of stable one ui 8 Globally. Then we didn't even had a chance to test it in beta in Sweden for lower galaxy S devices

Sweden is never part of beta so no, secondly OneUi8 is ongoing beta for s22, s21 etc if those are getting it.

[Androidsweden41]

They anounce one ui 8 beta if you Google it. Sweden is eligible to get beta for testing. I don't know why they didn't release it for testing in Sweden. Anyhow my phone is the American model and do to i got the Swedish ap i also believe im not eligible for beta testing probably i can change the vpn somehow to only get American aps. That might work.

Update the security patch arrived today. Thx Samsung 🙏

I believe S21-S22 gets the stable without beta. S23 is eligible to get the beta even in Sweden. Regarding pixel phones they are al eligible for beta but Europe is prioritized.

[JakeSully]

Not correct at all, I saw some posts before saying s22 and s21 is under going beta after s23. So no they won't get it without beta testing first. There is a reason beta test is done, so samsung can see if update is suitable for the devices.

[JakeSully]

No that's is incorrect info, samsung says sweden is not eligible for beta test.

They even had official page for OneUi8 with countries that when eligible for beta and sweden was not listed. But once that where listed was germany, UK, USA, but sweden is never part of beta. So info you're getting is incorrect.

I even spoken to samsung myself and they also said Sweden is not listed on eligible beta test list.

Also you cannot use vpn to get beta, since beta is connected under device IMEI etc. Not ip or so

[JakeSully]

Be more specific since security update is not out for s24 series.

Europe model, but you said you had American one? So.

Probably so butt still not for Northern Europe. And because of the Gdpr and small batch rollout we can only pray for stable rollout before Christmas this year.
