    Has anybody received the March security update?

    My wife's Galaxy S7, which is a three year old device, got the latest update a few weeks. I thought Android One devices were supposed to get the updates as soon as they were released by Google?

    Not yet. Could be delayed by HMD to ensure any holes found sending info to Chinese servers were plugged.

    The Nokia 7 plus in other markets has got it already I think it's a different variant to the one we have here. Hopefully it comes soon.

    That's not the same update. That's Samsung's March security update, directly from them. It doesn't necessarily mean it's the same update as the Android One March update, in fact it's likely months and months behind.

    I took a long while for it to run through the process and paused several times when other apps were active. Took nearly 60 minuntes.

    Once it rebooted it took another 5 minutes but since than it's running.

    No differences noticed so far.

    Volume button could be sticking as pressing it and the power button simultaneously takes a screenshot.

    I've noticed on this phone that when playing embedded videos in articles, especially twitter videos, there is a bit of skipping a second in the video every so often. Becoming annoying.
    Is anyone familiar with a fix?
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what settings to tweak?

    I think it's more than just a streaming or buffer issue... But weird.

    I'm having issues charging my phone, it only charges when I put some pressure on either side of USB C cable, if I just plug it in normally it won't charge.
    I tried a different cable and cleaning the charge port but neither worked.
    Is there any way of fixing this?

    Same for me and it's only started a few days ago.
    If I leave the cable hang off my bedside locker, it's enough pressure to charge but it's a pain in the hoop.

    It's a problem with the phone guys. It needs to be repaired or replaced.

    Same problem here, I have to put something under the cable for the phone to charge.

    I assume it has to go back to Nokia, what is the turn around time? Have heard 21 days, dont fancy being without my phone that long!!

    I got mine from Amazon so dealt with them. Once they confirmed it was a fault with the phone they issued me a return label. I asked them could I buy a new phone and once it has arrived send back my old one for a refund. They were grand with that so I wasn't without my phone at all. It meant having to pay for the new one before I received the refund for the old one but I didn't mind that.

    Amazon are amazing to deal with. I had an LG Nexus 5x for over 2 years bought from Amazon. Had a boot up problem and I contacted Amazon. They gave a return label and gave me a choice of the full payment amount credit or money back.

    Took the money and bought the Nokia 7 Plus from Vodafone but am dreading dealing with Vodafone/Nokia!

    I wonder can I walk into Vodafone and demand a replacement there and then as it is under a year old?

    No, consumer law is quite clear.

    in this instance, Vodafone. It's repair in the first instance, unless it's within 28 days, I believe.

    I was talking to someone in Vodafone earlier today and was told that this is a very common problem but it's apparently very easy to repair.
    The only down side is that the phone will need to be sent off to Hungary for repair with around one week turnaround time.
    I'm going to drop mine in next week as the messing around with charger cables is becoming unbearable at this stage.
