I was the first to mention the new update fixed my phone mine IS a S9 not the S9 plus, maybe contact your telco to see why there is no update, we can see you are frustrated as we all where, but Graham was only trying to help. we are all end users just like you. You are getting angry at the wrong people. If the software in your phone sdoesnt match the listed upgrade I'd suggest checking with your telco as to why its not working. Also my wifes phone often gets software 2 weeks after mine, they stage rollouts, so it may well be just a matter of waiting until its your turn. If your security update does in fact say september then I would hazard a guess and say you'd need to clear its cache and do a reset, if that doesnt work your problem may not be related to the last update. ...

Rather than ignoring us, even an actual we are sorry we are working on it and expect an update in XX time.
