You cannot compare iOS to Android cause Apple controls it entirely without telco interference. Apple mostly just implements the known and best industry standards and the telco simple has to adopt to take advantage.

Like voip, it just reached SG shores for iOS cause telco has to get Apple to approve their network was up to standards where as Android OEM with telco deals was doing it reversed, they are tinkering their FW to fit the telcos. This why if you get an export set you lose most of the VOIP features along with all those marketing deals like Samsung Pay

I’ve repeated many times our FW has to go through quite an extensive about of external testing before it is released, Samsung does want to release FW too trust me they got the updates including monthly updates too but tests causes it to bounce back to redevelop and eventually the external test will all be addressed and we catch like the updates 3 months later.

As Samsung Connection member we get to set down to give feedbacks and questions when and why. Trust me this was always brought up and things are being worked on to improve it to separate Security updates to general features update. But this requires Korea end to cooperate

No, not true. Our phones are not locked by Telcos and the updates are already available elsewhere.

Nope. Other regions started to receive October patch few days ago. They're giving us an old update very late!

I understand, our devices are not locked yes, but the FW is not approved by the telco or simply fails meeting up to standards.

Yes it is true that SEA FWs are now mostly Multi CSC and shares resemblance with FW from countries around us but it is more of the tinkering Samsung Korea does to SG's CSC that differentiate the FW between each region and ensure that telco features work on the devices.

Case in point OnePlus devices never have VOIP in SG network cause they are not whitelisted on Telco ends to take advantage of it on our network and requires OP to work it out with them. Oneplus devices skip Telco requirements cause there isn't any sort of deals made with them or need for them to talk thus their update cycles are fast.

Even Pixel 2 devices does not have VoLTE

What you said don't make. Firstly it cant be such a coincidence that all 3 telco rejected the update together. Secondly, even so, samsung should have released the update for non telco set. The answer is Samsung do not care about SG users. As simple as that. Phones like Xiaomi or Apple don't need carrier approval (yes our telcos do carry xiaomi) . They just push as and when they like.

It does not need to have all 3 telco reject. As Long as there is any single point of failure, it will go back to the start.

Our telco carries XiaoMI sure, but how often do you see telco advertising those phones. Marketing and deals are not always all the same across the board, a company will only work with you as much as they can benefit from you too. Plus the only reason why there is XiaoMi cause they need to sell cheap phones to people who could only reach those ranges.

At least got some movement, though not latest. I've updated mine earlier on and so far so good.

You think Telcos here bother about your phone software update ? Please lah.

 

[quailmaster]

Anyone knows if the blue light filter mode has any detrimental effect on the screen? Is it ok to leave it on all the time ?

Actually yes. Believe it or not. You can keep living in denial even though I as a member from a group with Samsung SG Managements and staff with other invited fans and tech enthusiasts give you this little information we can disclose or as much as they can disclose. Be as unhappy as ever without understanding why.
