No magic

I'm using it. Not sure it's any better than 138 though. Sure 10x zoom is useful but I rarely zoom anyway because output looks so grainy.
But we do have January security patches which is nice.
To clarify, I didn't get OTA though. Used Funky.

Thanks! Think I'll try it and see.

Can someone install the rom according to instructions, I can not.
If someone can install that says how it is done please.

It's not yet possible to manually update without using Funky Huawei. Your only chance is to sit and wait.

It failed for me as well. Will have to wait for OTA.
There's a few things that we need fixed.

HTC U 11 Camera lag

Is anyone else is experiencing camera lag when opening the camera app. It's so annoying and I'm curious to find out if anyone else has this issue and if there's a fix for it? I'm with Verizon if that makes any difference.. Thanks everyone!
Pretty quick for me using Edge Sense.
Fixed with the latest update.

Still laggy as heck for me even with newest update. Experienced lag on 2 U11's

Fixed with the latest HK/TW update but I think that patch not yet available on Verizon carrier so you will need to wait a bit more time....

Okay. So I probably should keep this phone... I'm actually waiting on HTC to send me a return email so I can get a new phone. I wasn't sure if it's a common occurrence in other U 11's. Even with a new U 11 the camera would probably still lag..

I'm not having problem launching the camera app, it's when I'm already in the camera and I move it to take a picture but it lag on whatever is on the screen after I launch it.

Sorry, I misunderstood. Are you talking about squeezing to take pictures, or pressing the on-screen button to take pictures? The squeeze has a delay, someone said it's because they want to avoid the motion caused by the squeeze before taking the picture. For the on-screen button, I don't see much of a lag.

1.13.401.1 ROM and firmware
Me two but it's less with the newer update
1.13.401
The update supposedly fixing the problem is 1.16, as reported here and in the following posts, not 1.13. It's not available in many regions yet.
Is HDR on? That will cause lag. Google it for an explanation.

I'm on 1.16 with my HK U11 and after that patch the camera is now much faster but I've no idea why they push the OTA lately to the America regional.
EDIT: https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/how-to/htc-u11-updates-thread-t3618362/page13
#121 and #122 said US got 1.16 update now including Verizon carrier.
1.16 on my stock U11 has totally killed the lag.
I'll likely update my rooted one once the firmware is available from the US update. The camera app is the same build FWIW

I'm also experiencing lag in the viewfinder. It's not all of the time, but occasionally when I fire up the camera the viewfinder stutters so much I can't see what I'm taking a picture of. The photos take, but it is incredibly frustrating. I'm on Verizon and this didn't seem to get fixed with the last update (.16).

Has anyone else got the January update? Nobody's been talking about any changes...

I got this a couple of days ago but have seen no mention of it on this forum. It only seems like a security patch though.
EDIT: This was received in the UK
This too has been suspended.. Hope they'll b able to release a bug free os when they finally do..

I have been saying that same thing for a long time.
If you are going to be snarky about an existing thread, you could at least post a link to it! This one came up on the search when I started to post a new topic suggesting it was similar to my question.
Here's the question I was going to post, but will post it here instead so there is "not open 100 same threads over and over". (since there was no link to the original post that was about this update and it didn't show up on the suggestions)
I received the first Oreo update on 03-Jan-18: Oreo 8.0.0, Security Patch level December 1, 2017
My understanding is that Xiaomi has started rolling out the second Oreo update that fixes a number of problems in the first release, but I have yet to get it. We own two A1's, and my wife's A1 has yet to get either Oreo update and mine has not received a January security patch or the latest Oreo update.
I'm just wondering if any of you who got the original Oreo update has received the latest one?

Just received it, in India
Fingerprint is faster than before.

Thanks Androidman720. Does it show as a January security level? Maybe it will make its way to Thailand before the end of the month. I'm hoping so.

EDIT: Right after I posted this, it arrived on my phone! Now I just have to decide if I really want to apply it. With all the issues reported, I am not sure. The first update seems to work well for me: no camera lag to speak of (1 sec), notifications work properly as far as I can tell, etc. The only downside is a 'quieter' audio output, so not sure about rolling the dice and applying the upgrade. Will wait a few days to see what others experience.
EDIT 2:
I went ahead and did the update. Sound seems to have changed again. I went into my music app and changed the EQ to Flat and the sound was much better. I did not hear any hissing, even with classical music, but old ears may be the issue there. I don't use BT unless needed, so cannot address that issue. So far, notifications and icons all seem to work as they should. Camera app is unchanged at ~1 second from press of camera icon to ready. Fingerprint reader seems to have gotten faster, though it was no slouch (compared to my iPad) before. So far, battery usage is what I consider normal, but I don't use the phone for a lot of high drain things like watching videos or playing games. My battery easily lasts 2 to 3 days and is what I consider normal. If this changes with the new update, I will update this post.

Oxygen OS 5.1.8 vs 5.1.9

Hi all,
With the release of the newest update to OOS, I am wondering how peoples real like experiences are with the new version.
Reading patch notes gives only a certain amount of information.
Apart from camera improvements, has there been any significant affect on things like system performance, battery life, etc?
Is it worth updating if currently your phone is working well?
Thanks!
I haven't gotten the update yet. Tried VPN with location Germany but will have to wait I guess
everything works well for me, no big difference to be honest. no battery drain, good performance. i couldnt notice the camera improvements yet, but i didnt do a real analysis
if you want to have the update earlier, you can use the app "oxygen updater".

Some people are complaining, but people complain about every update.
It adds Google Lens if that matters to you. Camera seems about the same to me but I don't take a lot of pics with my phone.
Most important is that this one contains the 7/2018 security patch. That's enough of a reason.

Lol ok I know people want the security patches, but c'mon man, how many of you ever got hacked on you phone from some obscure exploit? I would stay on a slightly older security patch if it meant better battery, better camera and overall a better performing firmware. The security updates are good to have, but most of the time they aren't really doing a lot.
I updated. No major changes to be honest. I think the camera performed fine for me today. Not enough time to assess battery life but that will take a few days.

Fyi....Just updated, and did some before update pictures and after update pictures and have noticed less pixelation when zoomed in. Will need a couple days for it to start to show battery results.
Updated today and not noticing a big difference yet. Tho low light images look a lot better than before.
5.1.9 performs worse for me...clean install

Swipe up from the bottom of the camera screen. That will bring up the camera options, including Lens.

That's odd. Here's mine.
There was a leaked version of the 5.1.9 camera that had Lens. I flashed it and used it before 5.1.9 came out. You might try flashing that.
That's really odd that I don't have it.

How long until its available via OTA?
In my experience one week or until next update.... ?
Can this version be rooted with Magisk?
No, no root is available.
Can someone who did update confirm that the OEM Unlock is not grayed out ?
OEM unlock is greyed out but active.

We need developers who are willing to spend a lot of time and resources on this phone. The development for this phone has been marginal and things are unlikely to change much.
The newer Mate 20 running Android 9 has to this day still not been rootable .... everything pointing to one single thing: if you buy a Huawei phone you get stuck to Emui and unrootable phone. I myself plan to stay on 8.1 forever unless root and twrp become available.
Got OTA today. The problems with sound distortion that I had when streaming using LDAC and HWA at the highest bitrate are gone. They added the gesture navigation from Mate 20 Pro but this still need work as it's not smooth enough.

Looks like c432 and the package size is too small I think to be updated from oreo correct me if I am wrong. So I think he was on beta.

Yes, I'm in the beta and this is the first update since the initial release. The model is CTL-L29.
I think they are close to releasing the final version and I heard that this will happen this month.

Hello, can you confirm or deny if the P20 Pro get Master AI 2.0 like the Mate 20 series has? Master AI 1.0 was over the top in processing and color. Thanks.

I don't think there is a way to check per say, but you should see big differences in how it processes images. For instance Blue Sky or Greenery will not be over the top like in P20 Pro. The Mate 20's version of Master AI is much improved over the P20 series.
I hope this version would help fix some historical problems, especially the one with smart unlock stop working that really piss me off.
Said this, I hope at the time Huawei will release the OTA it will be stable enough to don't let me regret Oreo.
Just for fun, in Italy sometimes major updates appeared before on branded models, I think this is merely due to the attempt to please the operators.

Was thinking exactly the same, this disappearing Smart Lock issue is very annoying.
Is there anyone here running on beta that can confirm it was resolved?

3rd update 132 just arrived!

This is why I prefer the Chinese version. Excellent. I'll post my thoughts.
And I'll see if this affects Google and closes the new method of installing it. Or better, allows a simple Google play store install now that Trump might be easing up on the ban
Global version is releasing new build upon launch by end of the month. So I think they are about the same

That's good then! Release notes available? Impressive start by Huawei even though under pressure
Accubattery stating lower power consumption, but I'll wait to see if that's real
No release note since it is not official launch yet in my country till next week
Fwiw upgraded without any issues, Google play still working fine.
4th update lol. Patch 1 for 132 arrives. Every couple of days now?
I'm not complaining
Still on .125 patch3 on my LIO-AL00 imported from China - are you guys doing anything differently to get the .132 update such as using a VPN? I've tried that and using HiSuite but it still says no available updates.

I've always thought that was bloatware so that was one of the apps I disabled instantly the moment I got my Mate 30 Pro. I'll keep it going forward and will use that to check for updates instead now.
