Android powered devices are known to have patch updates released every month. The updates are focused towards fixing security breaches in the OS. Any Android OS user that likes surfing the web safely should always keep their security updates on check. The patch has been released by the conglomerate T-Mobile for their Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge line of products. The security patch is rolling out using T-Mobile’s own network, we are still waiting for Samsung to announce when they will release the update roll-out for other Samsung devices.
The devices that are receiving the update are Galaxy S7 (SM-G930T) and Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935T). There are two versions of the security update, respectively G930TUVU4APK1 and G935TUVU4APK1. The patch notes do not disclose too many details rather than the fact that they are fixing some security breaches. The full details are going to become available when all Samsung deices receive the update, since they probably do not want to give away their security issues to hackers, so they cant exploit them.
The November security patch is going to be sent out to all Samsung devices during this month. If you own a T-Mobile device, and the update notification did not pop up to your device, you can also update it manually. To do this you will need to access the Settings menu of your device, after that tap on the About Device option and choose the Software Update option so the Download Updates Manually becomes available to you. The easy route to getting the November security patch is to just wait for the update to come automatically to your device. Keep in mind the fact that your device must have its battery charged to 50%, or be plugged in an outlet to be able to automatically install the November security patch. You might need to wait for a few days before the update becomes available, because its going to be rolled out over the air (OTA update).
