according to XperiCheck, new update has rolled out today in multiple regions. has anyone noticed anything new besides - I assume - September security patch? still waiting for the NOBA region update.

[Dutchy007]

According to a thread on XDA-Dev forum it includes WiFi performance, bugs fixes, optimizations & improvements, as is written on the 'changelog'.

Now, I don't know if this is true or not, but I'm eagerly awaiting this patch to hit the BLX customization.

oh hey, good to hear that they're doing changelogs again

[Lazaros_K]

With the new update, it seems that the animation speed during the unlock of  the phone ( with fingerprint)  is way faster and smoother. 

[najodleglejszy]

I'm wondering if it's because of the update or because you rebooted your phone 🙃

[Yet1Bluesky]

Yep, the unlocking is a bit faster, and overall the device seems a bit more smooth.

Is there a way to download and install this update manually, or do we need to wait for the OTA?

I am in the US running on T-Mobile but I purchased the phone from the UK so the fingerprint reader would work out of the box. I have NOT done any firmware patching, but only what has come OTA.

So can I download this and install it, or must I wait for the OTA?

If I can install it manually, how do I identify the correct one to use?

Thanks for any and all help!

[najodleglejszy]

you could flash firmware manually, but last time I checked the only way to do so required wiping the phone. I guess you'll be better off waiting for OTA.

WIFI Speed is very much better now general perfoemance of the device is enhanced too.More free RAM and unlock is little laggy like earlier build. My XZ Dual was much faster for unlock.
