I want to use Samsung Pay as Google Pay takes too much private data. As for Lloyds, I think its a no go. When Lloyds purchased MBNA they removed MBNA from Samsung Pay. I suspect Lloyds does not want to know about Samsung Pay. ... View more

Hi, as @Libb has said you can get Good Lock to change the clock. It was updated 7th March to run on Pie and I can confirm it works well.   In addition the app can tweak other settings too. Also it's a Samsung app for those that are careful about what they download. ... View more

@ChrisW    The release notes for G960FXXU2CSB9 have been updated today.   http://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-G960F/BTU/doc.html ... View more

Well I took the plung and updated to yesterday's release. No noticable changes (other than security patch) to previous Pie code. ... View more

@BandOfBrothers  Very probably, it seems lots has changed recently, alas not all of it was progress.   Thanks anyway.   Sid ... View more

@The_V I found the setting was a bit buggy. Solved it on mine by switching off, leaving Settings then going back into Settings and reenabling.   Settings > Lock Screen > Always on Display > Display Mode.   Good luck. ... View more

Thanks @BandOfBrothers  I followed the process and it tells me the Security Policy has been updated. Alas what it does not do is update the Security Patch level which remains at 1st December on Oreo. I can (as of today) get the February security patch but only by updating to Pie. ... View more

To make things worse, Lloyds bought MBNA (provider of credit cards) and has stopped people using thir cards with Samsung Pay. I don't think this is an ommission by Lloyds, more a policy. Such a shame. As @NuttyN has suggested, I shall probably be voting with my feet. ... View more

Same here, G960F and February update appeared. Now to read whether its imrpoved some of the January problems. I hope it has some of the Pie fixes included. ... View more

I spoke with Samsung support today, after some checking they have said there is no way to apply only the security updates and not move to Android Pie. I'm not going to root the phone, so the choice appears to be wait for Pie to be improved, or update to the February release which has just appeared on my SM-G960F today.  (http://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-G960F/BTU/doc.html)   ...

Hi BandofBrothers, thanks for the quick reply. I have had a dig around in the menus and whilst I can find > Settings > Lock Screen and security > Other Security Settings > Security Policy Updates. , dont see anything that lets me only update the security without the other firmware. I have tired looking in over > Settings > Lock Screen and security > folders and other locations without success.   Sid ... View more

Hi, You could try contacting these Samsung folks https://www.samsung.com/uk/samsung-set-up/ (this is the UK link) to see if they can roll the phone back to the earlier version. I don't know if they will be able to, but worth a try. ... View more
