T-Mobile is rolling out a couple of minor updates for two of its Samsung smartphones. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Galaxy Note 5 smartphones running on the carrier’s network were experiencing call failures quite frequently, which prompted a fixe for both the devices. T-Mobile, in its support page for both the devices, shared that the updates have been made available from May 21 and come with the “Intermittent call failure fix.”
What is it all about?
Although the T-Mobile update content for both the smartphone is the same, the software build numbers are different.
The Note 5 software update comes with build number N920TUVU4EQE1, while the Galaxy S6 edge+ comes with firmware version G928TUVU4EQE1. Apart from the call failure fix, the update will also upgrade the smartphones to Android 7.0 Nougat if the devices are still running on the DQC2 version. If not, then the devices will be upgraded from EQC6 to EQC1.
The update requirements and procedure of download is the same for the devices. As the update has been rolled out over-the-air, it may take some time to reach all Galaxy S6 edge+ and Note 5 users. In the event the update does not appear after an extensive amount of time, then one can download and install it manually.
