Q: I haven't received the lastest security update, how can I get it?
A: Just wait. Updates may take up to two weeks to reach your smartphone.
Edit: there's now an official way to force install updates:
Download and install the latest version of Google Play Services - it's an official signed version, 12.2.17 (448-186052348) (12217448).
Check for updates - you'll receive an update immidiately.
Q: What's the current build number?
A: As of March 1, 2018, the current build is OPR1.170623.026.V9.5.4.0.ODHMIFA Security patch level: February 1, 2018. Kernel version: 3.18.66-perf-g90e3040 [email protected] #1 Mon Feb 26 11:58:45 WIB 2018
Q: Does Picture in picture mode work?
A: It does but only a few apps currently support it: e.g. VLC (it must(!) be enabled first in VLC settings), Google Chrome (for desktop mode), YouTube (YouTube red subscription is required), Google Maps (only in navigation mode) and WhatsApp (during a video call).
Q: What are the known bugs?
A: Check this topic.
Q: Where can I get a firmware image to flash offline (fastboot ROM)?
A: Check this page for updates.
Q: Are there EIS or Camera2API? Has low light camera performance been improved?
A: Sadly, both are still missing and low light camera performance is still horrible.
Q: How can I improve low light camera performance?
A: Root your phone, enable EIS/Camera2API, install Google Camera with HDR+.
Q: Can I use/install Google Camera with HDR+?
A: No. (Yes, if you're willing to root your phone and enable EIS/Camera2API).
Q: I've heard about Quick Charge in Oreo, is it indeed present?
A: No, this has been verified by many people, some of whom used multimeters.
Q: What about the Google Phone (dialer) and Google Messages apps?
A: They are now both stock straight from Google.
Update: The latest version of Google Phone is incompatible with the MI A1 for unknown reasons but it's Google who made this decision.
Q: How can I hide the X mark for mobile networks?
A: You can disable WiFi or you can install a substratum theme, "Hide X".
Q: My favourite app or game crashes under Oreo.
A: Factory reset your phone, install just this game/app - check if it crashes. If it does, contact its developer. If it doesn't then some other app or your settings have broken the app/game.
Q: How can I disable/hide/remove App is running in background notification?
It's a "feature" of Android 8. There are three methods to get rid of this nuisance.

Unlock bootloader, flash/boot using TWRP, install Magisk or any other sudo solution.

No. If you install Magisk you will be able to receive and install OTA updates. You'll just have to reinstall Magisk after each update.

There is not fully working TWRP for Oreo as of now.
Magisk can be used by flashing patched boot.img, which already contains Magisk or follow a bit complicated TWRP guide.

I got this Decryption Unsuccessful on side B (updated to Oreo on side A), while the side A is working just fine. Can anyone assist me with this?

You have to restore stock boot before OTA installation, currently that's possible probably only manually.

Oreo changed the encryption scheme, only the latest TWRP version or Oreo system supports it. Nougat system and older TWRP versions will have problems with decryption.

I tried flashing my phone with latest Nougat, both locked and unlocked bootloader. All fine and good, then I updated to Oreo on my partition B. Worked just fine but I cant boot into partition A as the encryption failed.
Not sure what I have to do on my phone.
Has anyone noticed this thing where if we open a slightly darker or dark image, the display boosts up the brightness in the dark areas ? Sort of like the sunlight display on some phones. I tried to record an instance but it doesn't show it clearly.

Is it just me or Has anyone else noticed it ? Is it something that's built-in or can I disable it ?
Ok so my A1 is rooted bootloader unlocked but for some reason the google camera is not working on this and it used to work on 7.1.2 i enabled HAL3 but still no result can anyone help me

What are you trying to do? Once you upgrade to Oreo, you can't safely boot Nougat system. Even if data wouldn't be encrypted, many apps would force close due to changes between these systems. If you want to downgrade, factory reset is probably inevitable.

There are still A/B partitions. Could you describe what are you trying to achieve? I simply don't understand why do you try to boot into Nougat once you have successfully upgraded to Oreo.

I could have added the answer but I don't have it.
It is somehow possible to hide/disable update to Oreo? My phone is not rooted.
What about this?
Hi all
I am very new to android. I got the HW2 4g version from China and flashed to international rom. I have seen the news that android wear updated to 2.9 but mine is still 2.0. Will we get the update from Huawei or play store? As I am currently connecting to an iphone, I can't find any android wear update on the play store in watch. How should people update their android wear on HW2? from system update on the watch or adb install apk?
Model LEO-DLXX
Build number N7176C
Android wear 2.0.0.166801816
Google play service 11.9.75(530-182402865)
Android OS 7.1.1
Security patch level August 1, 2017
Thank you very much.

Android Wear on the watch should be getting updated from the play store, it usually happens for me when i leave it to charge, but mine is paired to an Android phone running Oreo 8.1 so it might be slightly different for you.
You could always sideload the latest apk over adb - I done this for android wear 2.9 because it took a while to roll out here in Ireland.
Download the SDK Platform Tools from google for your computer (I'm assuming windows)
Extract the platform tools archive somewhere like your desktop where you can find it easily
Put the Android Wear apk into that folder too
Open command prompt to that folder
Plug your watches' charger into the computer and place your watch on the charger
Run the following command to check if your watch is connected:
Code:
adb devices
Run the command below to install the apk
Code:
adb install -r <name of apk downloaded.apk>
Thank you very much. Very clear instruction. I have adb on my laptop and will try manual update tonight. I suspect I didn’t get the update because of iPhone. Just want to confirm update android wear would not impact on future OTA update, right?
Hi EccTM
Just side load the android wear 2.9 baes on your instruction. Super easy and fast.
Thanks you very very much.

Wear 2.9 is not Huawei update. Wear 2.9 is update from google. You must have google account and must have wifi, data or by connection thru Mobil. Update is possible thru Google play. Nothing more.

Not sure which ROM you flashed. I flashed the factory rom. People said they are getting OTA updates. From memory, I got a couple of updates right after. But I am not 100% sure. Sorry, can't give you a certain answer. One thing I can confirm is that I am still waiting for Oreo.

N7176C， which is same as yours.
I am not sure if you realize that there has been several releases after this edition. it seems that the N7176C is the only global ROM available until now.
I am going to flush back to Chinese edition, to get updated.

Have any of your HW2 4g updated? My watch is still showed Android 7.1.1 and the same build no. I believe N7176C is the latest build.
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?

I download the new update via Oxygen Updater but now there is no gear icon to start a local upgrade in the System update screen. No gear icon, it just check for a new update and does not find one even though I have already manually downloaded but now cannot install it. Does anybody have an idea how to do a local upgrade on Android 11?

You could always extract the payload and manually flash
Do you mean by adb sideloading?

Apparently once we get the newest update pushed,the local update option will show up. Gotta wait this first update out unfortunately
Hi everyone,
I like to install GMS on my phone again. I tried Gspace and Dualspace but not happy with that. Currently I have emui 11 installed on my p40 pro. So was trying to downgrade but it is not possible to install the required version of Hisuite on my laptop using Windows 10. Only older versions of Hisuite will install. But if Hisuite ,when working wants to install newest version, it stops working. Version 11.0.0500 and 510 will not install on my laptop. Anyone any idea?
Thanks already
Michiel

I did get it on mine and I think I just switched off the firewall and it installed fine, then turn it back on straight away.

Unfortunally this wasn't working. Thanks for the option.
Strange thing is that all exe files work accept the Hisuite files.
