(non Android One version) upgrade to Oreo - HTC U11 Life Questions & Answers

I read that tomorrow Oreo drops for the u11. Does this mean the same for the Life (t mobile version)? Since we were told we would receive by the end of November. That time is coming fast haha.
Anyone know about this? Thanks.
If so, cool. We'll all be on the same Android version finally.

It would be nice but I doubt it and we would have to use a ruu to update then I would have to start updating Twrp to use Oreo decryption. Our phone is so close to u11 it won't be hard.

Huh, will be curious to see what it entails; I wasn't involved in the Nougat beta testing that Samsung had.
Found this today.

Yes but Im on the unlocked firmware Verizon s7 edge I had used odin to flash the unlocked firmware a few months back not rooted just received the APL4 with December security patch I suppose this is wrong place to have posted that since im on unlocked firmware.
No it's not!! Not to Verizon anyway!!
*not
Well only 2 days left in January 2017 and no Nougat update anywhere in site.
Once again, thanks Verizon for failing your loyal customers!!!!!!
Verizon will wait for S8 device to drop and then put the S7 devices on the shelf. I don't think that they ever intended to provide Nougat to S7 even though they participated in the beta. S8 is just a few months away therefore projecting another avenue of revenue for Verizon.
I wouldn't say that the s7 will be left out at least not by the developers of this forum. Maybe verizon however thanks to that person in the beta forum we can at least install 7.0 which is a beta maybe in we can un beta the beta in the future and have a perfect 7.0 rom. With that being said im just fine with 7.0
Won't really be a significant difference between 7.0 and 7.1.
February.... march...what the heck verizon get it together or im going back to straight talk, i thought i payed hundreds more for less inconvenience.
Same as it is every year. It's a contest between getting a new model phone with the new OS or Verizon letting us have one. Usually close to a tie. in any case I stopped worrying about the new OS and just get a new phone every year. That's' probably what they want.. Maybe this year I'll have it for about a few weeks at most before a new model is available. Whatever Verizon....
I'm looking to go to I phone 8 on T Mobile before buying another non updated locked down Samsung product from Verizon. I may try second gen pixel if it looks good.
I really want Nougat to be released but at the rate it's going, support is nonexistent for this phone. I'm honestly thinking of canceling my Verizon plan and going to Straight Talk with VZW towers. At least then I'll be able to pay for what I get, ya know? Just wish they had the Pixel XL on the straight talk payment plan store.

Naw battery life was horrible on mm even on a rooted U firmware. The beta is really beneficial. I've been on the beta for a month and so far no problems. And I'm on update 1

Anybody got any update above b190 for L29C567?

Anybody got any update above b190 for L29C567? US version that is. The Intl C432 version got 2 or 3 updates after our May update.
Should we consider rebranding?

There's a beta, B230, out for the US version. That's the latest release, albeit not an officially pushed one.
Probably new version will come soon, I'd think.

Where did you come across it? It is not showing up in FF.
I'm on b190 here as well. I seen the beta listed on the FunkyHuawei site. But I don't want to mess with anything right now lol.
Hoping we'll see Oreo released just after the Mate 10

Me either...I do appreciate those that run the betas, but 190 is VERY stable for me. I've gotten old enough, cranky
enough, and stubborn enough to just run official release versions. At the end of the day when I get home from
work, I don't even pick my phone up, unless someone actually calls me, and even with that, it better be a family
member or I won't touch it. I get enough calls, text, emails on the thing during the day.:cyclops:
Same here...was tempted to rebrand and try some of the custom ROMs but this phone is working so well for me. I also doubt the 230 version has any features that makes it worth it to update. I will wait for Oreo before I mess with it again.

No update for oneplus 7 5g on EE?

Hi all,
I think enough time has passed for those on EE to get an update, absolutely no sign whatsoever and not entirely sure where or who will be providing the update; has any one has success updating yet?
I'm currently on 9.5.1 and system updates fail constantly.
Is there an option to root and install a custom ROM?I'd rather do that then wait for EE/Oneplus.

I have tweeted the same question and EE responded with "The updates will come from OnePlus". I think you can flash the regular OnePlus 7 Pro ROM on the 5G variant but I think 5G functionality will be lost.

I've just had a lengthy (about 1h30m) chat to OnePlus and they were totally useless. I saved the chat history as a lot of the things were basically - reboot the phone, wipe cache and then finally erase everything; although I knew these steps would not work and I explained I had already tried that I done it anyway just to satisfy his requests.
Afterwards he pretty much said "Ah well, nothing more we can do then"
I find it hard to believe that between EE and OnePlus no body has the answer?

Mines updated to 9.5.3 on release day 30/5/19 nothing since 4g up to 9.5.7 with camera improvements yet us mugs who bought the best one going getting left behind

While that is a possibility, why pay more to have 5G when we'd be losing 5G functionality if we convert to an international model.

Tried Oxygen updater and still no joy, unfortunately!
What does it say? Up to date or just update failing?.
Just failing still ?. Same error message as always
Seems to me that OnePlus has pulled the update for some reason.
Mine updated to 5.3 when I first set it up.
Not really had to many issues with mine, no ghost touches or anything. All I've had is the odd crash on nova launcher when exiting my banking app for some reason but other than that not much to complain about.
That being said I would like to see the camera updates that are being talked about in 5.7 as these are supposed to make a significant difference to the pictures.

There are also people on the EE forums with the same problem.
I'm sure EE knows what's up here, but reaching the "right people" there is probably very hard.
It's a phone with essentially a "Beta" radio, using effectively "Beta towers", and I bet that they're gating the updates, carefully, based on that fact.
In time, I'm sure this will "smooth out", as 5G becomes a bit more proliferated, but right now, if you have a 5G phone, you're effectively a "Beta Tester", IMO, even IF the carrier doesn't "sell it" like that...
It's too bad they didn't abstract the builds a bit more, across the OP7, OP7 Pro (several variants), and the OP7 Pro 5G.
I bet OP will do some work here, as things evolve, to "limit" this issue. It's possible too, that they already did this, and EE "botched things", in terms of the carrier-development side, good luck figuring that out though, or getting anyone to admit it...
I returned my phone to EE as it wouldn't update (just said it was up to date, but on 9.1) and I started suffering numerous ghost touches and random crashes.
Unless Op / EE get this sorted, I suspect I'll go to 3 when they launch 5g in August

Yeah, it's a **** state of affairs. How long ago did you get the phone, on day of launch?
Oh, just as side note. I searched on Google for days for an answer and nothing came up. One search on Duck Duck Go and the second and 3rd post are full of people with the exact same problem.
Yes, I got mine on launch day. Gave it the befit of the doubt she allowed 3 days to get an update- nothing turned up and it was pretty un-useable due to the ghost touches.
That's when I told them to take it back

I also checked for the update every couple days and today was my lucky day, i just updated my moto g6 (verizon) to android pie. Update was about 1.5 Gb and it works perfectly. Really good improvements , the only thing i could complain is that there is not an auto brightness on the quick menu.

I'm on RETUS channel on AT&T in the US. Just got the OTA to 9.0.
Version is PPS29.118-11-1
FYI....My Moto G6 was just notified of OTA Pie update. I'm using it on a Straight Talk plan. Updating as I'm typing this. Fingers crossed

Is it an original straight talk device or an unlocked version? Just wondering.
It's a Wal-Mart purchased phone. Straight Talk branded. Just a backup phone for me. But getting ready to hand it down to a granddaughter.

Question Android 13 for SM-S9080

Hi guys. how come S21 and S20 Series are getting One UI 5 stable and I have S22 Ultra S9080 and till date haven't got One UI5? Everyone with S9080.
I should've gone with an IPhone instead. They cost almost the same.
I had OnePlus for So long and it was amazing. Untill their 9 version and changed to Xioami and it was even worst and then to Samsung and this makes it even worst.
At least Chinese Brands don't really do this kind of update crap and apps available by region and can't change location and lots of bloatware despite Xioami.
