Question March Firmware?
Has anyone received the March firmware yet (US, unlocked)? Given that the patches for the massive baseband vulnerabilities are included in the March version, I was hoping Samsung would get it out ASAP, but still nothing on my end. Wanted to see if I was alone in this?
For that matter, did anyone ever receive an update in February for this phone? The last update I've got is for the January Security patch (also brought OneUI 5.0 to the phone).

A535E with March here, but from what i know, those vulnerabilities will be fixed with April release.
I believe I saw an article somewhere that said you can turn off WiFi calling on your device to protect yourself from the vulnerabilities until the patch to fix is released.

And then there was an article like it may have been patched already or something.I believe I saw an article somewhere that said you can turn off WiFi calling on your device to protect yourself from the vulnerabilities until the patch to fix is rereleased
Use it or don't. Whatever
I'm keeping mine on.

Updates with Samsung happen when they happen no matter what one you get. Some may be worse than others depending on what holds them up. Its all kind of random though. Unlocked doesn't mean much for timing.
Unfortunately disabling WiFi calling doesn't actually negate the issue. You'd have to turn off both WiFi and LTE (which is now basically impossible to do in the US) to protect yourself properly. I was just hoping that Samsung would try to speed things up given that its an issue explicitly with their modem hardware.

Yeah, was just going to say that. Forgot that's actually why I wasn't turning it off. Doing so won't necessarily help in this case.Unfortunately disabling WiFi calling doesn't actually negate the issue.
