I never got a call back or a private message back. I just need to know if I will get the update and when. If I am never going to get the update, please let me know because that changes a lot about what i should do.

Still no reply

I would respect honest more (E.G. "We don't have any plans to update your phone"). Instead of telling me "you should receive the update soon, other locations got the update, we are testing it your zone"

Hello Shpati,

I reviewed your case, a specialist sent you an email with instructions on November 1st, are you using an email address you have registered with here?

Hello edwardzm, you indicated that you spoke with a manager and got some instructions, but they didn't work. If you're not using AT&T as your service provide, you won't get any updates that are pushed by AT&T to its customers. Unfortunately, I believe that's the issue in your case.

It did turn out that this forum was not using the same e-mail address that my ATT account was using. However, the troubleshooting that was sent to me on the 8th,  and the e-mail did not help at all. It was what I have been trying to do for the past months.

Thank you for checking, I recommend replying to a specialist to let them know their initial troubleshooting suggestions didn't help to see what next steps you should take. You might want to send a copy to ATTCustomerCare private message box on the forum to ensure quicker response.

Thanks again,

I tried contacting ATT support multiple times in for more than a year. They keep telling me the same stuff.

I have still never gotten a word back if ATT has rolled out the 7.8 update for my area and phones. That would be useful.

I know Samsung has released the update. But I have no idea if ATT has. They keep telling me to do the same things that I have tried a 100 times.

I'm guessing they just have not finished testing the 7.8 software or don't plan to. Because I am not the only one having this problem.

Only Samsung Focus S users I have came across that got the 7.8 used some 3rd party software or some tricks to get the update, which I do not want to do since it is not official and may be illegal.

Hi,
I have recived all the updates, my phone has the update 7.10.8773.98, so I don´t understand why this update is not released(7.10.8862.144), and why AT&T's users even  has not received the update ?

[#29]

Me neither.

Like I said before. I would respect them much more if they just said "You will not be getting the update". Instead I've been getting the generic "are you sure you updated it correctly?" statements, via e-mail and live chat sessions. It's not fun being yanked around making me believe I am doing something wrong. I was able to update a previous update before. It's AT&T's fault. They either don't have the update ready or something. Because I know how to update this phone.

As it's been discussed in this thread, the update was released a while back and it's available to all customers. Unfortunately, after everything you've done there is only one other explanation that I can think of. Something might be corrupted in your phone's software and a factory reset may be needed to find that out or a hardware issue of some kind is causing this.

AT&T hasn't released the update and they probably no longer will since the phone is soo old.  If you wanted to do it on your own (AT YOUR OWN RISK), take a look at this:

I've done it with my phone and it's super easy, but if something screws up you will probably be out a phone...

I've done a lot of factory resets on this phone. It's July 2014, so I have just come to accept that I will never get the update on this phone.
