All,
Anyone know what the deal is with the security patch levels? My GS7 Edge is still saying Feb 1st, 2016 as the patch level (settings/about phone). I thought the new security model was going to put these patches in Google's hands, but reading about it, you need to do the normal SW upgrade on the phone, which is in Verizon's hands. March and April updates have been released according to Google, but nothing on this end. Or is it just me? Anyone have something later than Feb 1st? Verizon, if Feb 1st is latest, what is the holdup? Security updates from OS vendors can't be a on 3 month delay.

We certainly have the same goal in sight, cdchurch, and this is to ensure your device stays secured. Just to set us up for success, let’s make we are on the same page. What Software Version is currently on your S7?

Ferndale, let’s get you back to where you belong. What make/model phone do you have? When did you start seeing the 1X signal?

That does appear to be the correct version right?

Samsung still has to integrate the security patches into the software and have it certified before releasing it to the phones.

How long should that take? According to this URL:
http://security.samsungmobile.com/smrupdate.html
it seems that Samsung has incorporated these Google patches and it's own on a monthly basis, yet nothing on my phone in 2.5 months. Apple seems to be able to fix things in days. Not months. This isn't really an improvement.
