Long wait for update?

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.

Any OTA after 8.0.0.130(C432)?

Hello,
I recieved my UK model of Honor V10 (BKL-L09) today which is on firmware 8.0.0.130(C432) out of the box with Jan security updates. Is this the latest? (I've checked the updates manually several times but nothing!)
I think I've read somewhere that March security patches have been dispatched but I can't remember where I read this.
I still didn't install the sim card yet as I'll need to buy a new one from the shop tomorrow but I'm not sure if this has any influence on having any OTA update showing up.
P.S. Firmware finder didn't find anything!
Also, I'd like to know an approximate date for Official Oreo 8.1 + EMUI 8.1 ROM for European models (as it is the case with the USA models which are on these latest versions out of the box)

On a 432 variant?

I have received OTA 8.0.0.140 (C675). No big upgrades but yes, on my device the ram management is a lot better now.

Model is BKL-L09

Now it's 3 months since we receive updates ... Bah ...

I have never gotten any update still on 120(c433)

I do not understand why it does not make improvements on a still unripe terminal. At least update the security patches .. Bah ..

latest firmware in MHA-AL00

I haven't received any update since Jan 2018, latest FW version I have is 8.0.0.342, wonder if anyone here has similar or different version and what he did to install it. I'm not rooted yet.

I'm living in China, and I'm still on 8.0.0.342 as well. I check my phone for updates on a daily basis, because I'm sure there must be an imminent update

good to know, wonder what happened to every quarter updates as Huawei was doing last year

8.0.0.354(C00) is now available OTA, it contains the March 2018 security patches

what region?

SM-A530F: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a8/SM-A530F/
SM-A530W: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a8/SM-A530W/
SM-A530N: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a8/SM-A530N/

I'm running a A-530F, H3G CSC variant on the 3 UK network and haven't received the November 2018 patch yet. I got the October 2018 security patch on the 18th October and from previous patch cycles I expect the November patch to arrive early to mid December. As a side note the October patch seemed to have improved performance compared to the September 2018 patch.

Though I think part of the slowdown in my case is the update being built for a carrier variant, this November 2018 update has come out late this month (from Sammobile, it looks like the A8 security patch was released last week https://www.sammobile.com/2018/11/23/galaxy-a5-2017-a8-2018-november-security-update/ ) Would I like it to be quicker? Of course, though the A8 is one of the few remaining non-S or non-Note Samsung devices to get monthly security patches. https://security.samsungmobile.com/workScope.smsb

Yeah, I've not seen any info regarding the W or N models. Looking at the release patch cycle for previous security patches, the A530W XAC looks to be overdue for its November update, given most updates were deployed around the middle of that associated and respective month https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a8/SM-A530W/XAC/

I'm in the European region usually the security update is pushed out a month after. So November security update is pushed in December

I got it 530F France

I have update with patch for november. I can't update without Odin. If I install new wersion with Odin, I'll must wate 168 hours for OEM unlock. Can this somehow be avoided?

I have SM-A530F. Can I copi OEM file in /device, save it on SD Card and after install new wersion replace OEM file with OEM Unlock?

I can't replace file without root. Before install new wersion of Android I maked Backup Android with TWRP, but I can't restore Android without TWRP, and I can't install TWRP without Oem Unlock. Everything spins in the circle.

I got the October update on the 26/10, 2 days later i received the November update.

November update is now out for A530W
But not out for some carriers like freedom mobile

On the November update SM-A530F, I was waiting 191 hours for OEM Unlock and nothing. The battery was running fast, so I returned to the October update and I'm waiting for OEM Unlock. On the October update, battery is O.K.

Hmm, maybe it's one of Sammy's tricks into getting either the s9 or the new a8s ?

Anyone with a HK Version getting pie yet

Hi all,
I purchased my U11+ from Wondamobile back in 2017 and have never had an update still on the Dec 2017 security patch
I wanted to know if there has been updates but I'm not getting any due to being in the UK ?

I'm in the U.S. and also have an HTC U11+ (HK version) that's still on the Dec 2017 security patch. Curious if anyone's received the Hong Kong Pie update or know when it will be rolled out ?

they say from HTC , the update comes after 45-90 days after taiwan version...

Exact same here - very disappointing.

Any one updated to Android Pie yet? Any difference in battery life and device performance?

This version will never see an update
I've not had one in almost 2 years since I got the device
Such a shame

No! I bought my U11 PLUS in H.K. 2018 April and it is still running 8.0.0

From their Facebook fanpage, but delayed already.

Same

There is finally a software update for the HK version 1.24.400.16. Downloading now.

Android Pie now on HTC U11+ Hong Kong version!
Can't make this up!
Shortly after my previous post, I messaged the HTC Hong Kong on facebook. Thereafter, I received an Android 8 update (May 2018 update) Thereafter, I received the Android Pie update.
I live in Canada. Not sure if this has anything to do with it or if my security software (doubt it) was inhibiting updates.

Just the screenshot to HTC

Android P now downloading.

I'm having trouble getting mine to update the OTA, once the phone reboots it'll hit 24% and then hit me the red ! . Does this mean I have to flash all of stock RUU?

Yup! Downloading as I type.
Update #1: Damn! It is not PIE!
Update #2: After system rebooted, I hit the check update software button and got this...

Thanks guys
Just done my 1.24.400 May 2019 update
Now downloading 2.19.400.2
It's like Xmas come early as I haven't seen an update since the Dec 2017 update
It might bring new Life to this old boy.
I was considering the Pixel 4 but then I saw that it had the same specs as my current phone ? (albeit it probably does a lot more on Android 10)
U11+ was ahead of its time ....shame the updates were wack
