Samsung unexpectedly rolls out a security update for the Galaxy S20 devices

Samsung has unexpectedly rolled out a security update, through the Verizon network, to the Galaxy S20 series that was unveiled in 2020. The Galaxy S20 series has been considered as end of life as of this year, but it looks like that Verizon and the two other carriers in the USA have released a new update after the end of life date.

According to the firmware documentation, the security patch level still stays on March, which is outdated now. The security update improves your device’s security, but not with the Android security patch level, but on some of the components that the carriers use.

The following firmware information is available:

  • Galaxy S20 Ultra
    • SM-G988U: G988USQSDHYG2 [CCT, VZW, CHA]
  • Galaxy S20+
    • SM-G986U: G986USQSDHYG2 [CCT, VZW, CHA]
  • Galaxy S20
    • SM-G981V: G981VSQSDHYG2 [CCT]

In order to update your phone, follow these steps:

  1. Open Settings and navigate to Software update
  2. Tap Download and Install
  3. You should see the security update on your screen. Tap Download
  4. Let it download, then tap Install

Make sure that your phone is fully charged before you attempt to initiate the system update. You need to connect to your Wi-Fi network while downloading the update to reduce mobile data fees. Never interrupt the update in any way, or problems with the phone could occur.

I learned about a unique device, an Android device 📱 so massive, that the battery is 22,000 milliAmpère in size!

  • It charges at 66 Watts
  • has a Night Vision camera
  • is rugged to a degree that it's reached a phenomenal milspec.
  • The Android even has space for multiple microSD cards! Up to three IIRC

The headlamp is 1000 Lumens!

I ride racing machines mostly in the depth of night. I'm also a PPE freak. So I not only ride in full PPE, of which I know the specifications by heart, I also ride with Lighting Systems with a reach of up to Six hundred and fourty eight meters!

This Android has the range of several hundreds of meters, with its lighting system, of which the actual reach will depend upon

  • the focus
  • the reflection
  • the throw
    of the total balanced lighting system.
  • Heat generated.

On paper The Lighting System consisting of many small leds can run for about thirty minutes. Watching the video by Jerry shows that the leds don't really have a lot of space to cool down from the inside of the Android. So in practice the led matrix can stay powered on, depending upon your actual surrounding temperature of the phone. The sensors will warn you when the matrix is too hot and they will shut the leds down in order to prevent the whole device from heating up to dangerous levels.

I have to see and measure the range of the leds that before I can say anything useful about the actual range, in practice

The battery is so massive that the phone is more battery than device.

Quite understandable at 22,000 milliAmpères

I'm a large tall man. At its massive size I've finally found an Android that fits my hand comfortably and has so much lighting and battery power that everything in my needs at that respect have been met.

I haven't even seen the device powered up yet!

I need to go watch some videos

So these are my Impressions from the phone while it is in rest.

According to users at GSM Arena, the phone also updates itself to Android 14

You will see the brand and everything else in the included links. I will also link posts with the photographs to this Main Post

Google Play System Update (June 2025) rolls out for Samsung devices

Google Play System Update was a feature that was introduced for devices that ship with Android 10 or newer. It’s mandatory for device manufacturers that plan to release their devices with Android 10 to support Google Play System Updates. As a result, non-Google devices, such as Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets released with Android 10 (One UI 2.1), can receive such updates, too.

These updates don’t require security updates from the manufacturer to work, as Project Mainline modules work independently to give you better experience with Android phones and tablets.

On July 1st, a new Google Play System Update has been pushed to Samsung devices. This update upgrades your Project Mainline modules to the June 1st, 2025 version. This update weighs around 75 MB.

To be able to get this version, follow these steps:

  1. Go to your device’s settings
  2. Open the security settings
  3. Find “Google Play System Update” and tap on it
  4. If everything goes OK, you should see the below update dialog:

Click on Download and Install, wait for it to download, then reboot your device by clicking on the blue Restart button. The next time your device boots up, the revised update gets installed, so it’s going to take about 3 minutes maximum to install all the updates.

There is no progress bar, so don’t panic if it looks stuck. Your device will eventually boot up. Now, open your settings app and check your Google Play System Update. If everything is well, you should see June 1st, 2025 below the appropriate button.

In case your device didn’t receive the update, wait for a few days, and it will be available shortly.

Stay tuned for the July patch of 2025!

#Patchday: Angreifer attackieren #Android13 und #Android14 mit #Schadcode

Angreifer können #Androidgeräte über mehrere #Sicherheitslücken attackieren. Eine #Schadcode-Schwachstelle nutzen Angreifer bereits aus.

Googles Android-Betriebssystem ist in den Versionen 13, 14 und 15 aufgrund enthaltener Schwachstellen attackierbar. Angreifer können sich dadurch unter anderem höhere Nutzerrechte verschaffen.

(Ich möchte jetzt nicht über die Wahl meines Betriebssystems diskutieren.)
Kann mir bitte jemand sagen, was ich einstellen muss, damit ich keine Emoji-Vorschläge passend zum Inhalt meines Textes bekomme? (Hier in Signal, Android 13)

Würde mich ja interessieren, ob da einfach nur abgeglichen wird, womit die Emojis getaggt sind oder ob da noch mehr Auswertung passiert 🫠

The latest #Android #AOSP security patch marks the end of public Android #12 and #12L security patch support.

There are a number of #Automotive #Infotainment systems based on #Android12 or #Android12L, so it'll be interesting to see whether companies provide updates to #Android13 (or, more likely, #Android14), or whether we see head-units left vulnerable to issues discovered in the coming months and years.

@mcc @Infoseepage ah, makes sense. That's why I use Linux personally (for decades now). None of that AI stuff, unless you purposefully install it. IMHO Windows is great for gaming (tho many of my titles run on Linux now. Yay!), and in the enterprise of course (where I get my paycheck lol), and that's it.

Something to keep in mind, W10 hits EOL this October, so it won't be patched further after then. #APT groups will increase attacks using #0days once MSFT ceases official support exponentially.

You can still disable #Copilot in the registry of W11 24H3 (Pro and Enterprise SKUs, not Home as far as I can find). Not sure how long that will last though as #MSFT pushes hard to further integrate AI in everything they offer. At least on the Enterprise side they give us #sysadmins control over a lot of that. Consumers have much less control. It's either you embrace it, or change to a different platform.

Unfortunately (or fortunately), Linux is the only non-AI embedded OS left that I'm aware of. The next release of #macOS has #AppleIntelligence built in, #iOS 18.0 and later has it baked in, the latest release of #ChromeOS for Enterprise has #Gemini baked in, and #Android13 has #Gemini baked in on supported devices. As you know, W10 has Copilot optional with supporting hardware, W11 is baked in but can be toggled off. W12 will be a fully AI-OS.

Even still, if you're running any of the latest #IntelUltra processors, they have AI built-in at the hardware level. The new #AMDRyzen processors are doing the same.

I decided to embrace the AI evolution rather than fight it. I use my knowledge and skills to protect myself, my family, and my company as much as is possible, and keep abreast of developments in the sector...I also use AI for #cyberdefense. Only way to keep up with the threat landscape anymore.

For now, I still have control of my bubble lol, and that's about all I can do anymore, short of going completely dark. Not quite there yet lol.

@sebsauvage @Monolecte #Google aussi s'en branle de tes choix. Le #Pixel4a de ma compagne à migrer tout seul de #android12 à #android13. Puis elle a reçu un mail lui disant que son tel allait migrer (non, c'est déjà fait) et que cela allait dégrader les performances de la batterie ! MAIS SI VOUS LE SAVEZ POURQUOI VOUS MIGRER AUTOMATIQUEMENT LE TEL ???!!!!
Dans le mail, on lui propose de résoudre le problème... Le lien pointe vers une proposition de remboursement 50 USD tout de suite ou 100 USD⤵️

@mcc

Also have a #LenovoP11 (gen1). Their DEX-like dual UI definitely seems burdened with conflicting usage methods on #Android13.

Wondering if the stylized dock / grey box issue might be specific to the default launcher on yours? I replaced it with a launcher app I use on all other Android devices.
