You realize Samsung's Android is completely different from AOSP Android, right? By the time Oreo ships to the S8 there will probably still only be like 10 apps that are officially updated for it (as in, they use features only available in Oreo). You really aren't missing much because Samsung already put much more inside Android. Because, you know, you paid top $$$

Yes sir I definitely know the difference ( NO DISRESPECT) that's why I purchased the s8+ ...I'm just overly anxious for the beta update more than others I guess.

You went into this knowing how bad they are with updates yet still paid them for the S8+. No point *****ing about it now. You knew.

Certainly NOT *****ing!!! I'm still scratching my head wondering WTF ppl are b!+C#!nG about my comments. Anyways I apologize for hijacking your post bro...thanks for the criticism ...

I remember a yr ago while on the s7e i was on this same boat waiting for Nougat. Took til atleast late Jan early feb to get N finally. Not to mention i missed the beta window. Filled up within minutes of release.
To say the least N is excellent and wont be anticipating like a junky waiting on oreo as such. I'll wait for the final release next yr. Love N. Hopefully they don't take NOTHING away from N. Just saying...

Android 8 for Razer

I am tired of waiting for the Android 8 for Razer, what is the deal???!
All other devices already have the updates

Yeah I agree. I really want to see some custom ROMs on the razer phone but untill they release android 8 that's not going to happen. Really surprised that they haven't already released it as it's basically stock android

We where told it would be in the 1Q of this year and we are still in that period. Also other manufacturers don't have a 120Hz screen to think about and test that it works correctly on Oreo so give them time to perfect it and fix the bugs that are currently in N.

As much as I want Oreo it's best to let them work and not rush it out the door.
They'll have the 120Hz screen to work on, the theme engine to work on and the game engine etc.
will say however that if Oreo isn't due soon then they should at least publish an update for this crashing issue on Netflix and Google Play Movies.

Only 5 days left of Q1 now though.
Fully expect a delay of the update now unfortunately. Hope in wrong though.
EDIT: This tweet from Min doesn't add much hope for me ""We'll have an announcement very soon on this"

I just got confirmed it'll be released by April. No need to keep waiting these days for a before-end-of-Q1 release.

CS agents usually know jack, but i'll admit I wouldn't be surprised if it's delayed I was fully expecting it.

CS agents usually don't know much, but they also usually won't give out even approximate dates unless they've been told to. I can live with an April release. It's not much of a delay and I'd rather it be a good update then a rushed POS.

I can't see them being told anything like this tbh in case one of them "slip up" but I agree i'd rather they get it done properly and good for use.
Would however like an update for the hardlocks for netflix and google play movies at least to tide us over but I can't see that happening.

so the oreo update will be released this month or in april?
i dont understard if is after q1

If the support agent is correct, April which is the first part of Q2.

Nice

I think they mean begining of q2 or right before the end of q1. But i hope its no later than april 4th.

Do you guys think that we will be getting an update for the Camera along with Oreo?

Mid-late April

I did it! Everything is working perfectly except for the Netflix app (it says my device is not compatible).
I also feel the camera app more responsive and a little better quality than before. I don't know if they improved it

I really hope that they have updated and improved the camera as its the one thing that holds this phone back along with the irrating vibrate

From what I know, the weird vibration noise is a hardware issue. You can always turn it off for calls and each individual app. It would be nice though if we had an intensity control, that way we could set it up at the optimal value so it does not sound like broken.

What are the changes from 35 to 40? I didn't bother updating to V35 because unrooting for an update that is rumored to be buggy didn't seem worthwhile, but I'd like to know if v40 adds something interesting enough

I'm on 35 and no bug working well......you would probably have to google it to find out what is what.....

I did before posting, but it's not a very known phone so it makes finding precise info quite hard. Even Ulefone's site fails to have it, which doesn't surprise me since they don't even have the decency to communicate on Oreo update cancellation...
Thanks anyways

Just got a ota and for what I was able to read it is mainly to do with face unlock fix's it didn't say anything else......
Edit.....now on 40 didn't even think there was a security patch in it.......

Ok thanks, I won't bother updating then. FaceUnlock isn't my thing ^^

Don't know if you are able to skip ota updates it may want you to take one then it my allow the Oreo update.......

Well, it's not so much as skipping as completely ignoring all updates until a new one is worth the hassle of unrooting, flasing and rerooting again.
It seems we'll never get Oreo anyways so what I'm running on is probably the last version I'll use until it dies :/

If you want the last OTA without paid,

Only for V35, don't know if it work on V36 (mine don't receive OTA yet )

C782 No updates since 9.0

Anyone else on C782 noticed since we got 9.0 (168) we haven't had anymore updates/security patches in a while, anyone know whats up with that? i feel like our phones have just been abandoned this is first and last time i use Huawei, Google Pixel or Samsung next upgrade for me at least they get monthly patches/fixes even my bros S8 is being security/bug patched each month.

I've noticed it too.
Still on .168

Still on .159 with November security

Get yourself on Huawei forums, under software there's a very large post, join the crowd pressuring them to change their process. Mods have put up "false" updates to try quieten the roar and just made it worse. Infuriating that FF can't work once you're already on pie, don't fancy downgrading and full wipe just for my security patch

They said themselves bi monthly updates for all p m and nova handsets, clearly trying not to get banned from anywhere else and bit off more than they can chew. Any time I've spoken to someone, being able to speak to anyone more senior than first point of contact is impossible (which from experience I'm pretty sure goes against certain rules re: complaints) contemplating a ceo office email with links to all these such posts and their own promises.
Not that it'll make a difference. Just need to vent haha

Who's your provider?

Three UK

I'm with Three. Still on 159, November security patch. Just been on a live chat with them. Nothing resolved but got a £25 credit.

Still on .168 for me as well, showing 1st December security patch.
Last time I buy Huawei as well, I don't mind not getting full updates but not even getting security updates is ridiculous.

Yeah i just wish they would push them out monthly like samsung does instead of making us wait 3-5 months and by that time the update is worthless.

Bi-monthly would do me fine. In a dream world I'd like 9.1 and camera processing parameters from the P30 Pro (I've read it's a little less heavy on the processing) but I doubt we'll ever see that!

Still 1st Dec 18 security for me, unlocked phone from o2 with Voda sim.
Pathetic, it's almost 5 months out of date.
Love the phone but won't buy another Huawei.

My point being the article was written the say after I said I doubt we'll ever see 9.1.
You're right though, probably still months to wait until we see it.

Seems 3 customers are getting .204?
Nothing on O2, EE and Vodafone.............

Asia Pacific is getting monthly security updates so far. I on April security at the moment.

[News] LG V20 H990DS - Update V20b-Mar-28-2019 available!

I don`t know, if this version has been discussed. After month of silence I finally got the first update after the big oreo-upgrade last year.
The Update is 753,08mb big and it`s downloading now. My security patchlevel is 1. sept 2018 for now. Hopefully I`ll be on 1. may 2019 after the update.

Yeah was just about to make a thread also, mines crawling at 1% every 5 minutes or so...finnaly the security patch is here...33% took almost 2 hours so far, LG just love to disappoint.

Yeah I awoke to find this downloading today. Confused me because I thought LG had officially dropped support for V20 software updates. Not sure I'm going to let it install until I've heard some reports from other users. I only need this phone to last a bit longer (probably going to get an Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro when they become available) and really don't want to risk any problems with this handset before I upgrade.
Update: I installed it and it seems fine. I did have Poweramp crash on me since, but that's not an unusual occurrence for me anyway.

I'll be looking out for the KDZ to drop then will make a flashable zip. Whoop!
