Nougat update is out. Find any differences?

I saw myself 3 mobiles getting an update today.
I've updated my phone today as soon as I received the notification.
Details about update -Android version 7.0, Build: NPJ25.93-11.
List of BIG changes that I observed:
1. Boot animation - It is completely revamped and now says "Hello Moto" with an iconic voice every time you boot up the phone. Just found out that it can be turned off in Settings>Sounds.
2. Internal memory pumped up - This is a big surprise for me. My available free memory was 7.3 GB before the update and now it is 8.22 GB. It is a very good thing.
3. Battery backup seems to be improved. This is my one day observation and still needs more observation of course.
4. A special Moto action is added called Swipe to shrink screen. (meh!)
5. Fingerprint sensor can now lock the device. Power button is safe forever. Unregistered fingers can also put phone to sleep.
6. Toggle WiFi, BT, Data etc. in one tap if you pull down notification bar once else if you pull down twice you get to choose from a list of devices.
7. Device temperature is now nominal while charging.
8. I don't see network related settings like 2G, 3G, 4G selection per SIM. It is all grayed out. I think it will choose the n/w on its own.
All other N features (split screen, notification in-line-reply, better recent apps preview, etc) are known. So there is nothing special to say about that.
Cons inherited from Marshmallow:
*** Hidden LED is still kept hidden. What a waste!
*** Although device is locked you can still swipe down notification bar and toggle all the important and sensitive controls like WiFi, Location, Bluetooth, Data, Airplane mode. This is really an insecure feature.
I'll keep updating this as I go on finding something new.
Other changes are mentioned in changelog on Moto website.
P.s: Go for the update.

How many treads about this?
This update is the same like the one already published on Dec 11 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/captured-ota-nougat-ota-moto-g4-plus-t3517059
BTW: No root for it (as of now).

I have flashed my moto g4 plus with official soak test nougat. But I didn't receive any notification for official nougat. Will I get a notification or will I have to flash it manually using official nougat update?

You should get the update according to sources. Maybe you will have to wait for a while.
Well if you don't get it you can always downgrade to 6.0 to start over.

If you have the latetst soak, don't bother, it's the same as "official" Build: NPJ25.93-11.

Okay. I have the build no NPJ25.93-11. But I am experiencing battery drainage. Battery is getting drained very quickly.

Tap the gear like icon under Settings/Security/Screen Lock. You must find it there.

1.24.400.2 update received, UK

Hi, just as an update/ fyi, I got the 1.24.400.2 update this morning in the UK.
I have a Taiwanese U11+
Does anyone know what improvements this will bring? Is it the HDR10 update?
As usual, it only said 'software improvements'

Me too, I think this is not the HDR update
But is not taiwanese version , this update is for Hong kong version.

Is there anywhere we can find out what improvements/ fixes are included with this update?
I did a quick Google search and nothing relevant came up

can you please check what is the google play services version? it might have updated that (as far as I see the EU version uses the Nougat play services)
I think if it was the hdr10 update, they'd list it

Yes got the update as well. Too soon to notice any significant changes but did notice the always on display backlight starts in the bottom middle rather than is lit up from the bottom right hand side, so the display looks a bit more symmetrical in very dark environments.

Mhhh.. Nothing here. (The Netherlands)

11.9.51 Play services

It includes Android security patch level December 1, 2017..

I have found that the unthemed navbar was black and now its white

The changes seem display related. Other thing I noticed is I think the display doesn't get as dim as the previous version (which is a bad thing!)

battery life is worst in this update...

The U11+ shipped with oreo. This update is just "system enhancements".
Things I noticed:
The bottom nav bar is now white when not hidden in an app.
The brightness behavior is now changed. Inused to leave it on "auto half" and now I need it lower.
Screen capture and edit tool now works very smoothly.

ok it sounds like to me they did an update to the tw version just before Christmas which was 1.23, then the same update got applied to the HK model but have named it 1.24, and i imagine they will do the same to the EU model shortly and call it 1.25 (or something like that)

I have the white navbar since I got the u11plus, EU version. October patch.

Still no 8.0/Oreo update for the 4G watches?

Can other 4G owners confirm that they haven't received it either?

Confirm

Not out yet...
You hope that Huawei have the dignity to update not one but both of their top-of-the-range smartwatches (only AW2 with a sim in the UK)

No worries or offense meant, the world won't stop if this update does not arrive in a day or two.

The world won't stop if none of us had a smartwatch, mobile phone or tablet etc....but we do have, and this update has been out over a week now. This is a disappointingly and frustratingly slow rollout from Huwaei.

How does confirming whether other users have received the update or not strip anyone of their dignity?

Still waiting with great dignity........

Confirm.
The actual state of my watch is:
Android Wear: 2.9.0.185193.291
Platform: 7.1.1
Security Update: 01 August 2018...
Staying humble and waiting...

no oreo update for hw2 4g also so far.

And my watch no yet

Hi guys,
Have any of your HW2 4g updated? My watch is still showed Android 7.1.1 and the same build no.
But this morning have noted some changes to my watch. I went to about to check system update. It shows the same message "System is up to date". But the background is completely black with a blue tick. Previously, the background is green and tick is white. Another difference is a very small circle on the bottom of watch face to indicate unread messages. Did any one notice those changes?

Yes, I now have the blue tick when previously it was green. Still no 8.0 though. Strange!

For me, system is up to date too (Android Wear 2.9.0 and Plateform Android 7.1.1), but still with green background and white font.

Its due to the google play services being updated. Its now on a higher version number. This update came automaticaly

4G here. no update
Will think twice before ill buy AW device again.

This reminds me of my old Nexus 7 LTE tablet.
Google would always release the images for the wifi variant before the LTE one.
Perhaps the HW2 4G requires more work on the radio stack, more testing and therefore more time.

android pie 9.0.0.163 available for c432

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.

Is there a way to force the upgrade ? Im on 8.1 latest software and stock no root and no unlock bootloader. Any help would be awesome!

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.
Is there a way to force the update through firmware finder ? Stock and unrooted no bootloader unlock too

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?

The update was pulled due to a game booster issue which caused games to appear as a black screen. I'm sure they will fix it and re-release the update soon.

Damn... Is it working now? Any fix you found? My game booster isn't working like most people who updated, but at least the games are working after reseting Game booster.

I uninstalled the updates on YouTube and my WiFi started working. I then went on YouTube and updated it. All is good again. Phone appears to work much better and battery life is improved ?

Anyone have the OTA file?

Bueller? This HAS to be out there somewhere for U.S. users for RP1....??

My Camera APP crashes all the time now after the update. What Gives??? Is this purely a 9 thing or did Razer fix the Game Booster, and break the Camera APP???

Turn off do not disturb

Update downloads then almost instantly goes to "Installation Failed". Currently on 8.1 MR2 factory image. Phone is not rooted, firewalled, or anything and there is plenty of space left on the device. Razer support is scratching their heads for the past week.

The update is still very buggy, and lags a bunch of times....so sad, I think I am going back to my RoG Phone now that PIE has been released.

new update with november 2019 security patch.

the factory images for the december update are in the factory images site, but the links are down
