Good day all I have two Honor 8s both with UK B131 firmware. Been checking updates for Android 7 but not luck.
So I updated my Huawei ID software to 2.4.1.304_OVE one one deviceand then checked for firmware update of my OS and low and behold the new update is there. 2.38GB and downloaded.
I check once again with my other device which l had not updated the Huawei ID, each time I checked for new OS it came back No Update.. So I once again updated my Huawei ID to the one above once installed I checked for new updated. The new update was there did the download and installed reboot and it's all good to go...
So give it a try if you still not seeing new update each time you try..
??
Now to try out the Twin app...
Things I have notice that has been fixed in Android 7
World clock now list County and city for La Réunion - Saint-Denis. Had to use Mauritius settings in the past.
Glad to hear that. Can you provide screenshot of baseband version, security patch level date and kernel version?
Thanks in advance!
PS: Huawei ID update available here too, FRD- L09

Was that from the Play store? There is no update here for Huawey ID in Ireland latest in Play Store is 2.3.3.312_OVE
Would you have the APK?
@Nyssa1104, thank you, sir. This is the same version which i already received couple of days ago. It is from 18.01.2017. I wonder will the OTA update from 6.02.2017 be pushed soon.....

No its not from play store. Go to the Huawei ID once open in the menu Check for updates.. This is what I did and it will show the new Huawei ID update and just download and install no need for reboot.. There after checking check for New OS..
Just a address note I have since done this to two more Honor 8s (4 now) and they all update to. Android 7 this way.. Maybe there is a trigger in the new Huawei ID software?

I should image so in the near future but in the mean time going to see how this Nougat pans out as it is..
Side Note
Twin app when used with Whatsapp is a must for dual sim devices and it works with no lag on the phone.. All default OS settings and firmware
I got my Honor ID update but no OS update here.
I'm in the UK maybe it will turn up later

@fnudaniel83, i'm still on the software from the 18.01.2017. I will wait before update, because from 7am to 20 pm i have 6 hrs SOT and 40℅ battery left at my usage. The phone is very responsive and fast. I mean i am very, very glad.
My posts in all the topics, related to the Android 7.0 are provoked by the same questions as yours- is there any real differences in versions, or Huawei are shocked by themselves and they dont know what they doing? [emoji23] [emoji23]

Yeah I'm currently on the current frd-L04c567b60 Android 7 date 03.01.2017 updated via firmware finder. I'm having issues with Bluetooth won't connect to my car system, so I'm hoping there's a new update that will fix that.

Hey guys, so a friend of mine has a One Plus 3 but he didn't recived the update yet. So he utilized a vpn to connect to servers from Canada and UK and he got the update.
Has some one claimed that he got the update from sweden, if there are any possibility to connect to another area to look for that update. Specially in sweden

Sadly that won't work unless you have a device from that region or you're running the previous firmware from that region. The OP3 isn't region specific, so he can get the update from any region. The Honor 8 though has various models for each region of the world. (L04/L14 US, L09 EU, etc)

Ohh I see, thanks for responding. That is sad tho :/
You shouldn't need to connect to the device OEM's server via a VPN in order to get updates for your device. As OTA OS updates are sent to each device dependent on their model number and the regional OS settings.
if you know the update version just download it online and manually install it?

I don't know why everybody is in such a hurry to upgrade their OS from Marshmallow to Nougat. When Nougat is only available for a handful of devices at the moment. The majority of the other Nougat release are still in the Beta cycle and have numerous bugs that have yet to be addressed yet.

Just wait till you notice that allot of features that were in Marshmallow are missing in the Nougat Beta. While the performance maybe slightly better than Marshmallow. Nougat still isn't ready for retail use on the Honor 8 yet.

I haven't faced a single issue. Plus I'm not a guy for complaining about features. I buyer the Honor 8 because of speed. And that's what I'm getting.

It's because the Nougat on this phone means EMUI 5 and it's 10x better than EMUI 4.1 .. trust me
it's a much better phone on Nougat EMUI5 ( Even Beta) BTW I think the current B360 for the L04 is the final Beta.
It will go live in the next 4 or 5 weeks. (Huawei is really slow)

B360 is definitely a fully functional build. I have yet to find anything broken and it even includes Vulkan api. As said above, EMUI 5.0 is miles ahead of EMUI 4.1. It's a much better and cleaner looking UI.

I think that we will get some update soon .. first of all it was months ago announced that
we should get till end of May the noughat 7.1.x update..
Then again the chineese version of honor got an update ( B387 ) where the camera is updated
( to use the monochrome camera and some new modes )
and they got also a battery optimisation fix ..
So I think this all is just some things happening before we get some updates...
So it is good that something about our updates is happening...

Hi. I don't think so. My international unlocked FRD- L09 never received official OTA. Manually flashed all versions till now- B360, B380, B381... Waiting for OTA is a time waste. Huawei's own software update distribution are total nonsense.
I also doubt we will receive 7.1 soon...

Emui 5.1 does not mean Android 7.1.
Huawei P10 is running Emui 5.1 on Android 7.0.
If we get it, I'm sure it will be the same thing for us and also not in May.

Something is definatly happening
Couse one contact person from Huawei reported to xda user svetius regarding source code and the partnership that we should expect something happen end May or early June
And since yesterday in FF there is also new firmware B387
And some of users got yesterday updated
So I would say something is going on
Lets wait few more weeks and see if Huawei is doing what promised
Yeah in FF new FW is shown, but half of users still haven't received update to Android 7.
I don't expect any "revolution" in updating our devices.

Wait some more day or directly contact Huawei through their site to ask them to speed up the update to be shown for your device. What's your build number for extended?

Hi,
With the latest update, I got the faceunlock funktionality. If I try to the register my face, I always get the error message, that face recognition is not possible. Any Ideas?
I heve similar issue. My Honor came wiht 80.0.120 software. There is no face unlock full option. Only locscreen messages. OTA can't see any other (130) update. I have bought this phone in Germay and I am using it in Poland. Any ideas?
Hello, I just got this phone yesterday. It came with 120 (C432) software version and the November security patch. To be able to Face unlock the device, we have to have build version 130 with January security patch. I'm still waiting for the update to hit my Honor View 10.
Is there any way to update it to 8.0.0.130 manually? Honor Poland claims that I can't get official OTA update becouse my region is not supproted.
I have recieved information from Germn Honor Customer Service that my phone will be updated not later than 19th March 2018. Maybe yours also will be affected in the same time.

Where did you get your phone from? Is it unlocked?
I got mine from Amazon.de last week and it was on 80.0.120 but updated itself to 8.0.0.130 (C432) immediately after first boot.
I have bought it in Poland. But it is from german distribution. I do not know if it is unlocked? I don't think so. It is strange. I thought that it will update after first boot. But nothing happened.
I received several updates over HiCare, but didn't get the 130 update. Did anyone tried to update via HiSuite?

Now it's rooted, still ok. Even with this settings :
Works well. It depends on how you have configured, as per attached

This is a new message from honor service:
thank you very much for your reply on this case.
It usually takes up to 8 weeks after this release date to complete the roll out within 4 waves of updates being sent out.
For the current time being, I can only kindly ask for your patience, you will definitely receive the update until the 12th May via OTA (Over-the-Air) as download notification on your phone.

Basically they keep pushing the ETA to further date.... nice. [emoji16]Just like Honor USA open source masquerade (aka advertising).
I contacted the German support yesterday once again regarding the update and they manually requested it for me. Basically I have to wait for 2 more months for the update, and I'm still on 120 version. I'm very disappointed with the Honor right now.
My current firmware is MHA-AL00 8.0.0.354 (C00). HiCare reminded of MHA-AL00 8.0.0.356 (C00) available. By taping update button, it jumped to System Update (setting). "check for updates" showed "No updates".
Is something wrong with this? Reason for the update to V356 is to use the face unlock. Thank you for your any help.
