Long wait for update? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

It's been a long while since the last system or security update on my S8+, EU version G955FXXU1AQH3
Any idea when we might get an update?

I could update to AQJ1 today. October 1 patch just in time for November ?
I also keeps an eye on (for NEE) http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=SM-G955F&rpp=15&r=NEE&order=date&dir=desc&exact=1

Thanks! Still no joy here.

Still no update here. Has anyone in UK got it yet?

Yes, I told my friend about it and he got an update immediately after he signed up for the beta.
I didn't, I'm still waiting

Finally, finally, got the update notification today. Will be installing it tonight.

Unexpected update

I had an update today (UK) that I was expecting to be the update to Nougat/EMUI 5, but it was just an update to EMUI 4.1.3. Does this mean the Nougat update is delayed further?

Did you try using the firmware finder? Pretty sure the initial build of nougat is rolling out. Try using it and maybe see if theres an EMUI 5 package in there

I got 4.1.3. update earlier this month. Nougat has been realeased but Honor on his FB page says it won't be available to all 6X at a once, so we must wait if we want update OTA.

I received the emui 5.0 update about 2 days ago (US)
Maybe it will function as a pre-update, in a few days, you can receive the official N.
Same situation here. Was on BLN-L21C432B130 (phone bought in Czech Republic) and got notification from OTA that there is update to B151 available. Didn't manage to update though, i guess the TWRP was interfering. But made the update through HiSuite.
Update replaced TWRP with stock recovery (and obviously root is gone) but kept the bootloader unlocked. Will leave it like that for a few days just to see what will happen next. Hope the Android 7.0 update (B360?) is coming soon to my phone. If not, manual update is always a solution...
Same here in the netherlands. I updated via firmware finder to BLN-L21C432B151 on april 1st. Still no B360 via Updater.
Update: Got B360 yesterday through OTA. Looks like B151 was only pre-update afterall I believe you'll recieve it soon.
No way ! You're on a island. Can't stand it
* never mind; Czech Republic instead of UK *

I was talking to Honor support and they told me the nougat update is delayed as the initial update they released in May for few builds had users experiencing issues. Per them "Huawei is commited to resolving issues and they said we should expect the update in June".. Not sure how true they would stand on their promise..
I got it today (netherlands).
Still no menu button in the bottom launcher. [edit: it's in the settings].

Do you get a notification when you take a screenshot or only this 1 second animation popup ? It used to give a screenshot notification before on emui 4 and now it doesnt after the update..

On emui4 I saw a flash when a screenshot was taken. Now nothing, not even a popup in the topbar.

Faceunlock not working

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?

Guys,
you're definetly offtopic...
I just got the info from Huawei Germany, that face recognition is not yet released. You can see it but not use it.

Rooted?
I guess the Huawei Service does not know what they are talking about.

No. All stock.
No problem with 130 OTA and face unlock. I'm in Switzerland, bootloader unlocked, not (yet) rooted.
Edit:
Now it's rooted, still ok. Even with this settings :
Works well. It depends on how you have configured, as per attached
As German huawei service claims today is the day. Have any of you received 130 update in Germany?

Not yet, but I think that the last day is 22. March, so there are 3 days to go.
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.

Android security patch still Dec.1 2017

Has anyone tried to contact HTC? I'm very disappointed with the security updates. I thought that HTC was going to be better than LG

Can't recieve latest OTA update

I cant receive the most recent update with version 10.2.1
I am stuck with 10.0 version ..
whenever I try to check for new updates .. it tells me I am having the most recent version.
Does anybody know how to solve this ?
I'm also having this issue, new MIX 3 received today, currently on 10.0.11.0, checking for updates just says no updates found
I'm not sure, but I believe it has been pulled. There's only the 10.0.11.0 zip file on the miui download site.
Looks like it's been pulled, tried to install zip from https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix-3/how-to/10-2-1-0-global-update-available-t3893229 and got told it was a Beta package and I wasn't signed in with a MiUI beta account
Yeah, same here. Just got my MIX today and it's stuck on this version.
I got my Mi Mix 3 two weeks ago and got the update to 10.2.1 via Ota. Why they took it from the server, I do not know. Maybe a new stable version will come soon.
I also received by OTA MIUI 10.2.1.0(PEEMIXM). Download was cutted several times but at the end it went through and my phone was upgraded. For the ones that do not saw the OTA, are you in global version or chinese?

I have the global version. Did you receive the ota today?
I got my global version last week and no OTA. Tried downloading that full package that's been posted and it just gives an error about being a beta build.

I have received it on February 14th. Could you receive it? I have seen in the forums that the upgrade was suspended probably due to bugs; but I have not hit any major bug so far.

I actually received the OTA today, as it started rolling out again. Seems good so far.
