This morning I realized that my phone had not received any OTAs yet, so I sideloaded the MDA89D to MDB08K zip (find it here) and then got the MDB08L OTA notification as soon as the phone booted up.
In talking with friends with a 6P and looking at other threads, there seem to be a lot of users that are still on the factory MDA89D build, so I'm wondering if the delay is carrier specific.
FWIW, I activated my 6P without a SIM card and then have been using it with T-Mobile. Checking available updates always showed nothing was available.
It seems like Verizon users are not getting OTAs yet, as expected from an existing thread. T-Mobile users *should* be getting one since they are turning Band 12 off with it.

OTA got nothing to do with carrier you are on.
Sent from my Nexus 6P
I did not receive the OTA, but I did flash the new factory image as soon as I unlocked the bootloader.
yes just received phone in the mail today after setting everything up I got the OTA update installed with no problem
I simply just change the date few weeks forward. I didn't receive both updates soon so I just fast forwarded date a little. Then updates pop up on both times. Should give it a try before going on a manual flash route.
Didn't have to do anything, it just arrived while I was updating my S5 to 5.1.1.
Was reading an article recently where a Google engineer explained how updates go.
1% get the update first, if no problems
25% get the update, if no problems
50% get the update, if no problems
Etc etc
No mention of a time frame between percentages though.
I got the device Friday, on k version, got the l update earlier today.
Expect to see them monthly as Google is releasing security updates on a monthly basis now.
Need one for carrier less. Updated before putting sim in.
Got an OTA this AM on Fi Sittin on MDB08L. I have an unlocked bootloader as well.
I got my 6P today and turned it on. As soon as I signed into my Google account it told me that I required a software update. Didn't even finish the setup wizard before it downloaded and installed.
I ordered through Project Fi as soon as I got my invite. They sent the sim with it and I put it in and turned it on. Boom, update.
Yep got one today.

Interesting method, if the updates are IMEI based as it is believed, this shouldn't work.

It's interesting to see that, so far, most voters who have not received an update are on another carrier (or carrier-less), or Verizon. I was interested in seeing what Sprint users are experiencing, but there has only been one Sprint user voting so far (a friend on Sprint has not received any).

Unfortunately, I can't edit it, but, no carrier would fall under "Other Carrier"

Already flashed the update through mskip's toolkit. No wiping of data required though it flashes the whole ROM, not just the update (900mb).
I'm on AT&T. I got the first OTA when I turned the phone on for the first time, but where the hell is the November security patch? I thought it was supposed to start rolling out on November 1, yet it is November 10 and I still don't have it? What the hell Google? I understand a slow rollout of a major update, but security patches should be available to everyone on day 1, if not automatically, then sure as hell if they press the damn update button in settings. This is why companies don't take Google seriously when they talk about security.
I click "Check for Update" and nothing happens, says last time it was checked was November 30th. Tried rebooting, rebooting with no sim card . . . any ideas??
Just got one. Taking FOREVER to optimize apps. Painfully slow.
Just got my update through Telus in Canada. Installing right now.
just got 128gb 6P and got it activated on Sprint .. OTA about 15-20min after
Hello guys I hope everyone is doing well,
I have purchase the Galaxy S9+ G9650 HK version with Snapdragon 845 back in April and the device's CSC was TGY and it came with the march security update out of the box, so I have looked over sammobile and noticed that the chilean version CHO recieves security updates a bit faster than TGY and already had the April security update so I have switched the oem unlock on (I thought that was necessary) and switched the firmware using odin and everything was going great until I have received the first ota update for May the device started to have this weired issue, everytime I restart the phone the microphone doesn't work anywhere until I leave it on for about a week they the microphone starts to work normally and I thought thay was a bug in that update and they will fix it in the next update unfortunately a couple of updates later and running the August update now and the issue is still present even thought I have flashed the TGY firmware back but still no luck, I am not sure if that's a hardware issue because I couldn't find anyone that has the same problem but the weird thing that after a week of keeping it on it starts to work perfectly like it had no issue until I turn it off or the battery dies on me I have to wait for another week with the phone being worthless with no mic, samsung only sells the exynos version here where I live and I it is hard and really expensive to ship the device to hong kong. Thanks guys I hope that someone can help me with that because it's really frustrating.
So I just got the first software update on the phone. I have the S10+ from T-Mobile. It included the March Security update from Google. It did not list any other specific change in the details.
Does anyone know what this update includes besides the security update or is that all? Like does it fix the known issue of waking the display in your pocket?
Also has anyone else gotten this update on other carriers or other variants of the S10?
Also let this be documented that Samsung is very fast with updates now for this new S10. Releasing the security path only about 4 weeks after Google released it for its Pixel phones is very impressive.
Also let this be documented that T-Mobile is the best carrier for fast updates from my experience. They always pass out an update for their variant of a phone as soon as the manufacturer releases it.
Got the same update on AT&T phone today. 500mb size. Let see if they fixed any problems with it.
I'm planning on getting this phone this week but before I pull the trigger, I just wanted to ask how are updates for this phone (will be used on T-Mobile)? Have they been updating to latest security patches? Do they have plans for android 11?
So just in general, have your experience been good with the phone, would you still buy this over other phones? Thanks!
There was an update today for me for the June 1 security patch.
i have the note 20 from att. it has never had any security updates at all. if i look at software information it shows july 1 2020 as the only one. i look on att web page and there have been a few and now android 11. whats the best way to update this without talking to someone from att which allways is very frustrating .
thanks
You should be able to go to Settings-->Software Update-->Check for Updates
Is your phone rooted or modified in some way, that it isn't validating with ATT for updates? Just throwing it out there...
