[INFO] 3.1 is coming next week!

http://thisismynext.com/2011/05/27/...arly-week-expected-release-products-computex/
Remember when we told you those other Android Honeycomb tablets were going to geta helping of 3.1 in early June? Well get ready! Sources have told us that Asus will be releasing its over-the-air update early next week.
WOOO!!!

Oh snap! Was pretty stoked after seeing that french video earlier with the TF running 3.1 but after reading this I'm super stoked!

Like I said in the other thread on this topic D), if Asus DOES release 3.1 next week, I'll be damned impressed with how they're supporting the Transformer so far. Damned impressed.

i can't wait to get my transformer next week...perfect timing

I just cant see myself ever buying from another company other than ASUS and this is why. coming from a samsung device *and we all know the story with them* and there crappy touchwiz that u automatikly cover up with adw ex or launcher pro. I feel that my paycheck goes the extra mile when i buy products from ASUS. *ass kissing done lol*

Updates to Samsung phones in the US have mostly been down to the cell companies and not due to Samsumg themselves.

sweet, i hope the 3.1 custom rom will release asap too after the official update.

Looking forward to next week.

Hmm, if it's true, then we should be seeing a leak on Sammobile soon I guess...

Again where is i9505???

Dec 2014 ETA for I-9500 so probably March/April 2015 for I-9505. We are still on 4.4.2 officially. Samsung traditionally slower than an injured camel with OS releases. Last Samsung phone I will ever buy. Overpriced, cheap materials, slow, battery faulty too often and laggy.

Go buy nexus and stop crying then...

Hope this is true
I really hope the S4 gets the Android L update by December !! I dont know why Samsung didnt update to the 4.4.4 version for these devices! Why so much of a delay in releasing the updates. It's still stuck on 4.4.2 for most devices.

Testing? how it can be
and since when samsung is this much fast

i just hope whenever i9505 gets L we also get new touchwizz

Mature.

Well i am sick of people writing same stuff for million times ,nobody is forcing anybody to buy samsung or any other phone...If somone really likes updates/clean ui nexus should be their choice,but imo samsung isnt that slow in updating their phones compare it to other brand phones maybe not the best but not the least either...i just hope when they update to L we just get newest ui ,art and performance updates

I think Samsung and other manufacturers will make fewer modifications of pure Android, this will speed up the updates.
Google wants the ecosystem is characterized by UI, example is the Android TV and Android Wear
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...r-oems-here-are-some-of-the-interesting-ones/
I think Google wants to close the year with a marketshare of Android L as the largest evolution. The manufacturers should have received the Dev Preview build and maybe other's internal and Google have forced manufacturers to release updates sooner

This is the problem of samsung always delay in updating firmwares. Very fast when it comes to accepting our payment but very slow when it comea to updating.

Why do you want to wait official L from samsung
If good devs will come here we will have Pure stock L like nexus

Because sometimes devs need sources from samsung too.

Also the i9505 has Google Play Edition
The ROM can be ported to stock i9505

Who would want Android L with the TW skin on it.. This would take away the point of having android L.. It will be the same laggy experience all over again.. Just wait until the source is released and let the developers do their thing.. Just have patience
Me Gusta!

Lollipop update?

As far as I remember HTC promised to give all the One series phones Android 5 ( Lollipop ) in Q1 2015.
Anyone with connections with HTC know if and when approximately the update will come ?

September in Europe

Lol, what would you do if Lollipop still wouldn't be released? Throwing your phone away, because you don't want the previous OS/version anymore?!

I have got this phone since it's release, back in 2013, it's getting old + the forum is kinda dead + HTC has never given this phone full support, it doesn't even have an official released RUU.
Don't get me wrong i love this phone, i just want to get something more up-to-date and with better specs.

That would've been strike #2 by HTC.
First of all, they should be more than thankful for us putting up with their faulty engineering ( hairline cracks ).
At least they could keep the phone up to date and tweak its performance as much as they can as a "payback" for the hairline cracks.
Second that's breaking their own officially given promise about bringing Lollipop to the One Mini.

Cracks weren't the issue here! And for best performance you should use a custom rom (I never used an official rom with all the google-crap, but wait for a working Lollipop that hopefully will be reduced to minimal).

no lollipop for htc one mini...
HTC canncelled their plan to update the mini 2 to lollipop. So I highly doubt we are getting it :/
https://twitter.com/htc/status/592823289204047872

Legally they have to update it... theyve stated in many advertisements two years of updates for htc mini and mini 2....Mini updates will run out in august so still time for an update (pic below)

Lawsuits pending...

I like how Lolipop is sutable to run even on 1Ghz singlecore 512mb ram devices, but HTC cannot make it for mini versions of it's flagship cuz of and i quote - 'technical constraints with the device's ageing hardware configuration.'
What a lot of bull! another marketing strategy from HTC... THROW AWAY YOUR ''OLD'' MINI AND MINI 2 DEVICES AND BUY 'ONE MINI 3' WHICH WILL BE SOON AWAILABLE AND HAVE LOLIPOP!
I am officially saying that i WAS a HTC fan (my last 4 devices was htc's = hero - desire - sensation - one mini) but seeing what a lot of bulls they have done for consumers(even more than apple) on it's devices next device im considering some other company than HTC!
Sorry but they have finnaly lost me with it stupid money making scheme rather than thinking for consumer ! :crying: This is too much now!

Guess who won't be buying any HTC device. FU HTC.

I would not write it off yet. HTC UK just posted new updates page here . One mini is listed there so it is supposed to receive additional update at some point.

At least it is listed even if no update is currently in the process. My understanding is that devices listed are supposed to receive update sometime in the future. Others just fall into "Unlisted" category...

You're dreaming buddy.
HTC replied to me on Twitter again today.
There will be no Lollipop from HTC for the One Mini.
It's final, final, final.

Android P Update is Coming

Spoke to the Live support for an issue I was having, thought I'd ask about Android P update coming to our phones. Seems like it is! :fingers-crossed:
Mobile Support
As of August 2018 Google, has begun to roll out Android P to select Pixel Phones. Razer will be working with Google to release Android P for the Razer Phone. We do not have a defined release date yet and the dates may vary based on your region and mobile provider. To ensure you get the release as soon as it is available, please be sure your Razer Phone always has the latest software updates installed.
7:25:02 AM
What are your thoughts, will we get it?

Early next year is my bet.

That’s my guess as well. Logically I’d assume it would be much faster considering the P GSIs already work for the most part. If the Razer Phone 2 launches with P, it might be sooner than that though.

Yeah let's hope! This is truly my most favourite phone I've had in years.

Wow!This is a surprise.

I'm no fortune teller but if the Phone 2 doesn't come out with Pie I think we'll get it end of Q1 2019, same as Oreo for Phone 1.

Android 9
Just got off web chat with razer support. They said the mobile team are in the 'middle' of releasing pie.
No idea how long that means.

I found this: https://www.androidauthority.com/razer-phone-2-android-pie-update-954889/
It said in article that Razer rolling update for Razer Phone 2 on 27th Feb, hope Razer 1 will have update at the same time.

Gave up on all things Razer had a full desk set Blackwidow v2 keyboard naga trinity mouse
kraken v2 7.1s firefly chroma mat and a razer orb weaver, razer phone 1 and pretty much every phone case made including the official ones and some that were 3d printed, and hammerhead usb cs I bought with the phone, Min-Liang Tan made some huge boasts on the support side regular updates fast fixes he's full of crap talks bigger than he can back up abandoned like the nextbit robin guys, anyone who buys stuff of razer pray you don't have a warranty claim , synapse 3 has been beta for 2 years and it still doesn't support half their products, 1 product can mean having to run v2 and v3 and either set your lighting to a fixed colour as chroma wont sync between the 2 programs.
TL:dr good hardware let down by mickey mouse software

Razer phone 2 OTA update to Android P already in place. I guess Razer phone 1 will not be getting Android P.

It says on this page that RP1 is under evaluation for Pie, whatever that means https://support.razer.com/mobile/razer-phone-2/

Razer Phone 2 from what I've read just started to get there's yesterday.

In any case, the fact that they released Pie for aura makes me hope cheryl gets it too. I certainly don't expect it these days, but maybe in the future.

At least update the security patch or make the phone work better with GSI.

A quick Google search makes it seem like that. It'd be weird if he wasn't related to Razer. Anyway, I wonder what "soon" means to him.

yeah the razer 2 support site says under evaluation and razer support told me "still under evaluation", then thanks for your patience, all we can do is be patient, and thanks for the positive attitude.

EMUI 10 for our beloved M5 might be coming soon?

According to this support message from July 31, 2020, the rep said they are continually optimizing the experience of EMUI 10.0 and asked to wait patiently.

What do you folks think, there is hope?

I'm still on 8.0 since I have a US version. If any M5 is updated to 10, I will be shocked.

Wow, this is awful. Mine is from the UK and I'm on 9.1.0.335
I thought the US owners were able to update already. Did you try the "Unable to receive official system updates" guide on Huawei's website or running the HiSense update software on PC?
It really disappoints me that we're even having this conversation regarding a two-year-old device. I will probably never buy another Huawey product again if that's the case. I'd expect to see at least EMUI 10 and Android 10 for the M5.

It's now dropped off the support list completely - so don't expect any more updates. Still, at least in the UK/EU it's had more support than most Android providing manufacturers.

well, one major release and two years of security patches is not so much, I was expecting a bit more from Huawei. At least they could open the device completely so that one can flash all partitions and not only system, boot and recovery.
Probably I should at least have a look at some actual GSI ...

It's also not what Huawei promised - in theory, it was one major OS update, 2 years feature updates, and 3 years security patches. However, given the Huawei/China vs Trump thing I can understand that going out the window.
However, as I keep asking, who else does supported, decent Android tablets at a reasonable price? I paid £220 for my 8.4" M5 2 and a bit years ago, and there isn't anything obvious at that type of price now.

Exactly. The Samsung tablets with fingerprint reader cost more than £600 and now I am so used to using the fingerprint instead of typing passwords all the time that I don't want a tablet without a reader.
One of the many reasons to hate Trump is that the best provider of Android hardware of the last three or four years has now disappeared from the market.

I wouldn't say they've disappeared - but they are now using an AOSP build and have no access to Google Services out of the box. Which in turn reduces the practicality for many people, depending on the apps available in the App Gallery.

Your device is CMR-AL19 or CMR-W19? For the LTE version there should be available 9.1.0.351 or 9.1.0.352 ... for the WiFi version I didn't find any update.
