Does anyone have an idea of timescales on this update, I read the general information about updates and it says a couple of weeks after release, so it should be dropping soon right?

Only @Chris_K can tell you for O2 firmware.

@Chris_Kwill know, although he is now on holiday for a couple of weeks. Maybe someone like @MI5 or @viridis will have some idea?

Hey @One97nine, and thank you for your question!

We're working with Samsung to get this update out to our customers soon. Once we've completed our testing we’ll keep customers updated but until then, we won’t have any ETA. Hopefully there'll be more news to share in the coming weeks.

While you’re waiting for the update, do check out our Q&A here which has loads of info on typical timescales, how we test, why an update may be in a certain country/market and not the UK etc, and loads more.

Thanks @Cleoriff and @MI5 for the mentions - in @Chris_K's absence feel free to mention the Community team as well and we'll check what we can find

There’s no rush on Android Pie for any of the eligible Samsung models on any of the UK networks. I’ve got Pie on both a Three branded Huawei Mate 10 Pro and an EE branded Sony XZ2 Premium. Biggest practical difference for me is the improved battery life on both handsets.

Samsung are rumoured to be bringing out a Pie update in the UK around mid February 2019.

Good news everyone! Samsung have now released this update and we're working on it. It should be available on your devices in the next couple of days

Excellent news @EmilieT

That's good news. Hopefully they've made good on their promise to bring APTX Adaptive to the handset. However, as much as I appreciate the need for rigorous impact testing it should not take over a year from the intial release date of Pie to actually get it on a flagship handset (I realise the Note 9 was only released in August but still). I'm pretty sure those users who have rooted their devices and have been on Pie for months have not experienced any adverse effects.

Do we have any update on this? i see that Samsung are rolling out the CSA2 build to unlocked versions in the UK, i was under the assumption that 02 used unlocked builds on their contract phones? but still no update as of yet. Any update would be great.

Do you have the official Pie update or the Beta?

Re: Note 9 android pie update

danetweedale — Mon, 28 Jan 2019 13:02:44 GMT

It is quite poor that it is the 28th January and we have had to wait so long for a major update given that 30+ countries have already recieved it. It just shows how fragmented Android still is.

Re: Note 9 android pie update

Matty8787 — Mon, 28 Jan 2019 13:10:55 GMT

It is not android that is fragmented as most other devices are on Pie now.

Samsung on the other hand...

@Wezzyd @RL1502 @danetweedale @Matty8787

I've not had any further update since the one I posted last Thursday but I will share any new info I get here

Thanks for the reply, its just you said in that post that we should have it 'in the next couple of days' which i was assuming would be 2 days. So i was expecting it before now really. Its disheartening seeing the people with the S9 and S9+ recieve this before people who have bought a £1100 handset considering this was supposed to be Samsungs flagship of 2018 and winning phone of the year etc. Strange really...

@RL1502 I understand you're very excited to get it, and I just got a confirmation that the update went live last week for the S9, S9+ and Note9. However the update is rolled out in batches to the devices which is why some might have to wait a few days.
