Not Samsung, because they have been timely with their monthly updates. They always post their updates on time, at least so far. Some carriers already have issued July security patch.
It's soley on carrier's part: to verify and implement newly released security patches through series of internal network testing (which by the way should not take weeks in any case since it's not adding or removing new components), and push it via OTA updates.
This can be a big problem because these patches not only update the security measures, but often comes with bug fixes and system improvements (ie. Camera/battery drain fix packaged with June security patch). As customers, we have all the right to complain about never getting MONTHLY pathches, let alone getting it bi-monthly or from the way it looks, three months of no patches.
Some carriers don't bother with issuing pathces mostly because average consumers do not know such things exist and do not know their rights to claim the patches. And it doesn't really benefit them money wise, on the surface anyways. This results in carriers just ignoring the whole process or being lazy about it, since the only people who complain about it are people who actually know what's going on, and the number is just a handful, small enough for the carrier to just ignore and don't affect the business.
Rogers has been especially lazy with their software support when it comes to wireless, and lazy is just putting it softly. To put it into perspective, Galaxy S6s have received Marshmallow 6.0.1update during April in other Canadian carriers (even smaller companies), whereas Rogers is yet to update its Galaxy S6, which is only a one year-old flagship device. Android N (7), is looming on the horizon while "Rogers "Galaxy S6 is still sitting on Lollipop (5).
If this number grows, and more and more consumers come to know what they are missing and that they aren't getting something they should be getting, this might change the situation and the carrier's behaviour. If this number becomes big enough and collective actions, such as not renewing the contracts and moving to the competitors, grow to be capable of influencing the business (aka money flow), company then might start to pay attention and just might take some actions to resolve the situation (ie. Hiring more to actually have a functional software devlopment team to support such process). Until then, carriers will just try to milk as much money as they can with minimal investment put back into improving the custmer experience.
So, I for one, am planning to pass up on Rogers once the contract is done, unless some improvements are seen. This is after being a loyal customer (aka throwing money at them) of 10+ years with variety of services.
For people who are reading this, know that more and more people need to complain about the situation to actually make it go noticed. Works just like politics.
Thank you for reading my rant.
