It's true about 15 days promised updates, but HTC never guarantee anything about the A9 getting updates for two years after its release, unlike the guarantee provided to the flagships. This isn't strange at all, as other manufacturers couldn't even promise that to their flagships, much less their midrange handsets (I had to say that because I keep forgetting that this awesome phone I'm carrying is not a flagship ). So while this is still less than one year after release and we *should* safely expect it, the news is something to be happy about.
As far as I remember Jason McKenzie said they will give as updates for at least 2 years. I hope for all the countries.
Hope some dev can make for international cusrom rom once it has released new version of Android N. on htc one A9

The quote I did find was about the 15-day update (in a tweet here, also quoted in many other articles about this), but nothing about a guaranteed 2-year Android update. In the mean time, HTC repeatedly came up with their statement guaranteeing that their flagship devices (M7, M8, M9, 10) will be updated for two years (and they have proven it).
So, if you've seen a 2-year update promise by HTC specifically for the A9, can you find me a link of the quote? Not that I don't believe you, but back when the A9 was released a 2-year update promise is one that I specifically was looking for, and I found none. It would give me peace of mind if I know for sure that someone did say it.
It was either in the live presentation if I remember correctly. I'll try to find a link later.

Right now I have a Google Huawei Nexus 6P, support for it will end this October (thanks google). I am considering jumping ship to HTC due to a few things: Sense being very Stock-ish, Speakers, and Optics. I am curious on how HTC's reliability is with Android Security Updates. I am aware on the full version changes (6.0 -> 7.0 -> 7.1) it will be nowhere near as fast as I am used to, but I am very curious about HTC's track record with providing timely security updates and how long they tend to support their phones.

Better than average OEM, but still not great. They tend to keep their flagships alive for at least two years, e.g. HTC One m9 released in March of 2015 is still being updated but I highly doubt it will get Android O.
My EMEA unlocked One m9 is currently on Nougat 7.0 with security patch February 1st, and EMEA unlocked HTC 10 Lifestyle is on Nougat 7.0 with security patch December 1st 2016. Carrier's versions in Europe are usually updated shortly after Unlocked, that rule does not apply to USA.
TL;DR: If you want bleeding-edge updates Pixel is the only way to go; if not, then HTC is fairly reliable*.
*applies only to flagships, HTC abandoned some of their budget devices shortly after release.

Does HTC release the OTA's for the unlocked device?
I guess official RUU's will be available since it's not a VZW restricted device?

HTC US does not officially release the US Unlocked OTAs, but links to them get captured and posted here on XDA and the zips also get re-hosted on AFH. US Unlocked RUUs are usually posted by HTC US a bit after the corresponding OTA starts rolling out, but again the links are guessed ahead of time and RUU executables as well as RUU zips and decrypted firmware are posted. The threads are already here.
VZW RUUs are more like RUUs for non-US markets - RUU zips usually become available from unofficial sources. Obviously, there is no Verizon firmware for U11.

Judging by post-Nougat HTC 10, US Unlocked gets security updates relatively frequently, maybe every other month. Other regions are SOL, still stuck on January.

If I wanted the bleeding edge of updates I would stay go with the xl version of the pixel coming this October (when support for my phone ends, again... thanks Google). I honestly don't want a Pixel for various reasons, that is why I am looking at HTC. My only concern is security patches. I find it concerning that the 10 Lifestyle (Basically HTC 10 but with 3gb of RAM and a Snapdragon 625... right?) is still on December 1st 2016, but maybe Europe is just behind...
Oh, and I am not in the market for a budget HTC phone... besides in the US the only phones we can buy from HTC's website (that I can see) are the HTC U11, HTC U Ultra, HTC 10, HTC Bolt (so the flagships and their larger, lower spec'd counterparts). And I would never get a phone carrier locked (flashback to the days of using a Verizon locked android phone *shivers in terror*).
I probably misworded what I asked.
I meant is, if I am on a bring your own setup, (U11 on Verizon for example), who offers for OTA the patches and updates?
It seems to me Verizon woudn't its not their software. Would Google or HTC?

HTC, since you'd be using the US Unlocked version of U11.
HTC seem to be very poor at releasing security updates to be honest.
The only real vendor that actually does it monthly appears to be Google themselves or a 3rd party like Lineage.

Currently using the Xperia X Compact until the U11 comes out and they've done a monthly update since release. Sony is pretty great about it now.
Got a Sony tablet and they have been pretty quick at updates on that (despite dropping Tablets from their lineup) but I don't get monthly updates tho

this just sounds anectodal. One device getting a update is no guarantee the rest of the devices will get it.
Frankly, all OEM's are as bad. Sometimes they are better, sometimes not. My 10 still has Jan patch and android 7.0. Not that i think u there is anything wrong with the current software, and security is quite vague. I dont know of a single instance where people has been exposed to risks or data loss because of a old patch level.
Often people download bad apps and thats just like windows, if you download trojans there is nothing htc or google can do for you.

Very poor compared to who ? Maybe Google on the pixel series but pretty much no other. Look at Samsung they take 6 months to get system updates if not longer. Htc has in the past promised system updates with in 90 days. I do not think its fair to call Htc's updates system or security to be poor. Calling Samsungs poor would be more correct and honest.

My Note 5 received the May security update a couple of days back. They always seem timely with the security updates, it's the general updates that take longer. I only received Android 7 a couple of months ago on it.
A timely article:
https://www.androidcentral.com/just...-months?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
These models have security updates from the last 2 months, although it can't be strictly true.
My mom's Sony Z5 (E6653) is not receiving any update for month... last was Android 7.1.1 with Security Update from September 2017.
My wife's HTC U11 is on Android 8.0 with November 2017 Security.
So I can't recommend any of those company's.
But Samsung is not better - when your mobile gets older > 2y your out of support....
This situation is really poor - hope it get better with Android 8.
Hi,
I consider to change my wife's CID from original 111 TMO to at least 401 or may 617 (contains 617 ROM for the A9 German as language? On my old M9 it does not). Reason is that it stucks in 7.0 security patch Level December 2016 -unbelievable!
There are so much Patches missing, Bluetooth, WPA2...
So what are the latest Patchlevel for 401 and 617, please?
Best regards
I have tried some things by myself.
Changed MID & CID for .617 BS_US001, but have NOT German Language (wife punished in my face ) and habe Patchlevel 08/2017
So I have flashed .401 HTC__001 after changing MID back and CID to HTC__001, I have Patchlevel 2/2017
Not really better, Bluetooth and WPA2 krack not solved! And THIS is a HTC One?
Why to buy a premium Mobile if it does not getting updates? So I can buy a mobile in China for some Bucks which is also not updated.... :-/
I go for Lineage OS for that reason (security patch). And phone work better ! (i simply re-install HTC camera)
For software numer 2.18.617.41, the Android Security Patch Level is August 1, 2017 which seems to be latest as of today; version is still Android 7.0.
2.18.617.56 was released a few days ago with November Security Patch

https://www.engadget.com/2016/08/25/htc-one-a9-android-update-promise/
When HTC launched the One A9, it promised to roll out new versions of Android "within 15 days" of their release. Pretty sweet, right? Well, it would be -- but that's not happening with Android 7.0. In a tweet, HTC said the new software will be hitting the HTC 10 in the fourth quarter of 2016, followed by the unlocked One M9, the unlocked One A9 and their carrier counterparts. The timeline suggests that the company will be breaking its promise with the One A9 -- Google released Nougat on August 22nd, meaning the phone would need to receive it by September 6th.
We reached out to HTC, and a spokesperson told us: "With the excitement around Android Nougat, we're aligning engineering resources around our most popular flagship products where the most customers will benefit." It's a shame, because the One A9 is a decent little phone. Admittedly, it's not a top-tier powerhouse like the HTC 10, but it's still capable.

That was when they broke their promise with quick updates. So basically HTC did not sell enough A9 phones and now they don't even bother.
Just the Flagships get some update attention from them. Situation is even worse now since Google bought all capable developers out of HTC.
Very sad about this -the A9 is a very good phone, but gets unlikely with such a bad support. And it was not the first time HTC dissapointed customer. And wondering later why so much people buy from other companys. I really like the phones, ideas and inventions -but if they are "old" after a couple of weeks.....
A man - a word! Why not a company - a word!? Get reliable again, please!
Hi I understand that the HTC U11 plus has treble support which is supposed to help it with updates and security updates, do owners of the handset see it is being updated monthly like the Nokia phones or that its security updates stuck without any support?
Thank you
Still on December 2017 for security update..
There was an update about 2 weeks ago, however the notification bug still isn't resolved.

I wonder Wasn't the treble support meant to facilitate the process of updating the phone? If its stuck with the December security patch then what's the point of the partitioning... I think it's shameful for HTC unless there's another way to look at it?

yep, no updates really.
Nokia on the other hand keeps on sending updates with impressive timing - every month there is a security update
ok I had a chat with an HTC representative and he said that HTC releases security patches on a MONTHLY BASIS for the U11+ and the problem could be with UK versions of the phones, he said if people have an IMEI number he can check more relvant information, I don't know if it's something which people share freely but if someone is willing to share with me their IMEI (maybe on private?) I will go back to the representative and bug them for an answer why are there no security updates

mine is still on dec 2017. im really disappointed i dumped my oneplus 5t and bought this device .
Mine as well still Dec 2017. Feels like HTC aready abandoned the device.
Seems like this was the first and last device I bought from them.
It looks like HTC had once again abandoned its loyal users.
Too bad, like you said it will be the last device from HTC for me
Hi thank you everyone. Is anyone willing to contact HTC support and ask them what's going on with the updates? When I tried contacting them I had no device so couldn't get the full help, they claim that they DO update their devices and receive the latest security patches from Google... Maybe its different outside Taiwan?

what is your security patch level - Apr 2018????
I m from Malaysia and still with Dec 2017 patch. I have also send to HTC requesting to release latest update as soon as possible, unfortunately they respond with the guide how to update and the guide to use sync manager. I guess HTC Support just trying to push me away with the guides. I have the impression that HTC Support thinks that all users are none technical and doesn't know how to use their phone. The impression i am getting is no updates coming soon for HTC.
Two times but can see that security patch level still are Desember 17
Htc is doing everything to get us away from them in the future.....and I thougt LG has a poor support...
Poslano z mojega HTC U11 plus z uporabo Tapatalk
Nothing to do with EU or HK variant of the phone , it's HTC being poor with updates. Last time I contacted support they said the latest update would fix the notification bug.. It didn't!
In the UK I read a news article about how poor HTC were with security updates, think they were one of the worst companies for failing to update.
I've had HTC phones for 12 years, brand loyalty if you will, however this will be the last. HTC market their phones as premium, they even charge premium prices yet the support is some of the worst and it's not getting any better.

I hope HTC doesn't ditch the device as U12 is coming soon. I bought this with the hope that HTC will at least send security updates. I have the phone bought in India, made in Taiwan, running 1.24.200.4 and still on Dec'17 security patch. Didn't expect this to happen on flagship phone.
Man definitely my last HTC device. I am simply waiting for a better device than this but at the moment nothing is better in my opinion especially with the ugly notch phone designs and pricing. I will be definitely back to a Google device, the longest device I ever owned was the Nexus 6p and that's because of the developer support and system updates.
One more thing, I will never own an lcd screen device, I have a light bleed which is pissing me off and can't unsee with every boot of the device. My model is a HK model and I am not staying there so I can't send it for maintenance. By the way I am still on December security update which is a bummer, this device has potential but HTC is screwing up our experience with it. How do they expect future buyers to buy their devices if they can't listen or satisfy their current ones?
Contacted support to ask about the lack of updates. Here is their full reply (translated to English of course):
As soon as an update becomes available, the device will load it. Users cannot update the device manually. Please be patient.
That's it.
I guess that also answers whether they will ditch the device with the U12...

Thanks for the update, when I got this device I expected the lack of updates so I am not that shocked, I don't care that much for security updates but I do for major updates like Android P and after, I think I will hold on until Android P and then "Hasta la vista baby" ?
I got maybe 3 or 4updates since Jan 2018. These are enhancements but no one here knows I think what's inside. No change log was given in updates. Security wise - we are still on December and 8.0.
HTC were never famous for speedy updates. They tried and failed. On the other hand, U11+ is not a flagship. It's 11 and a half product and as such it does not seem to have a lot of attention from HTC. You will be better waiting for U12 if you want HTC...
Thought I'd make a thread for UK owners to check-in seeing as it launched here yesterday. How are you finding yours so far? Mine's been fine for the most part, and I was surprised to see a case included in the box (I don't usually do cases but figured I may as well this time if it's free). Couple of oddities though, notably:
- There's no option to stop it adding newly installed apps to the homescreen. Had to install Nova Launcher in the end purely to stop this!
- Where's the 8.1 update? Mine's stuck on 8.0 with the February patch. It seems to be a different model number to what others have (TA-1055) so I'm hoping it'll come any day now, but still...
Other than that, though, it's been sound. Haven't noticed any issues with task switching that others have reported and the experience has been pretty smooth going in general.
Where's everyone else?
Some minor issues, but otherwise performance and battery life is great, brightness is fine, haven't tried any bluetooth audio or headphones yet though. Pleased with it.
Had an issue where OK Google detection was not working, but that's fixed after a reboot. Doesn't work with screen off which is slightly annoying, going to try Google/Play beta and see if that makes it work. Otherwise hoping for this in future updates.
Opening the google app from the G logo in the launcher search bar doesn't work properly - feed doesn't load and it appears as though I'm not logged in. Contacted support about this one and they said they'd investigate, but didn't get the impression they'd actually submit a bug report or anything...
Not a huge fan of the launcher vs my old Nexus "Google Now" launcher, prefer the central button for the app drawer. Not sure what to replace it with for now. Considering the pixel launcher but am unsure which version would work well. Also the nav bar at the bottom seems overly thick, which is a shame with such a huge screen.
Nokia's camera isn't the best, it takes good pictures, but I much prefer Google's camera, especially for HDR. Arnova's Pixel2Mod V7 final camera is nearly working flawlessly, but the selfie cam resolution is lower than it should be and lens blur crashes it. Also no support for the 2x lens with that. Waiting on a version which will do everything correctly.
Yeah I was a little disappointed that screen-off OK Google doesn't work, but then my house is littered with Google Homes, and it was a little annoying when my Nexus 5X would answer a query 30 seconds after the Home had already done it. So maybe needing to turn the screen on works in my favour here.
What colour did you get, out of interest? I really wanted the white one but nowhere seemed to have them, not even Nokia themselves.
Edit: And do you have a link to the version of the Google camera you're using? There seems to be half a dozen different variants.
Went with black, preferred it personally. I think OK google with screen off is something that doesn't work on a lot of phones after googling around, so it's not too bad to not have it, but disappointing for me nonetheless. I had hoped to have this feature as it never worked very well on my old 5X. Haven't tried with a bluetooth headset though, which apparently works for other phones with the same issue, and that would be useful sometimes for me.
As for the camera, take a look here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ but specifically this one: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7-Final.apk

Not out of the box, no. Like I said I'm assuming it'll be released within the week but I haven't asked Nokia directly. It's probably just because it's a different variant I'd imagine.
Anyone found a UK spec dual SIM model?
I believe all the UK models are dual sim? It certainly has the hybrid sim tray in mine, though I haven't actually tried using a second sim or tried the other space for a sim

UK models are single SIM. Clove has a dual SIM option on their site.
EU models are dual SIM.
Nokia 7 Plus Single SIM - TA-1055
Nokia 7 Plus Dual SIM - TA-1062,TA-1046 (I think the TA-1062 is the Chinese model)

Glad for this thread, as I think no one in UK / Ireland got the update to 8.1.
More on this here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-7-plus/help/eu-7-dual-sim-ta-1046-model-stuck-t3780101
I bought my N7+ from Amazon.de and I am still stuck on 8.0 with feb security patch. Using the phone in Ireland on Three and Vodafone networks (I have the dual SIM TA-1046).
According to Nokia Support I should be able to get the update to 8.1 once it will be available. their latest reply:
"Regarding your inquiry, it is is good to know that your Nokia device should be able to update to Android 8.1, once it is available. Also It is good to know that updates are released at different dates in order not to overload the network and when there is an available update you would receive a notification."
Regarding the phone:
- looks great
- great build
- superb battery life
- quite snappy (compared with my Oneplus X)
- got a Nilkin case (looks great on the phone) from here http://nillkin.org/smartphones-acce...plus-accessories/nillkin-nokia-7-plus-frosted
Not that I'm sadistic or anything,but quite happy to read here that other People are waiting on 8.1 update too. Got the phone yesterday from UK to Ireland TA-1055. 8.0 with Feb patch
Phone is pretty good.Im coming from Oneplus 3 which was fanstically otimised for speed so I am noticing the Nokia a little slower even though the sd 660 beats the sd820,but it's early days for this phone,so will give it some time and hopefully soon more speedier updates.
Phone needs more optimisation definitely and can't get rid of vibrate on fingerprint.Camera is good,but app needs fixing .Will try one of those pixel apps.
Hoping the 8.1 update will be next week at least. Bit worried for the future if they're making us wait on updates already.Maybe Google will have a word with them and tell them how Android One is supposed to work

TA-1055 I downloaded the update but it failed to update. I contacted Nokia Care and they said that that due to optimisation and stability issues, 8.1 will be delayed until later this year.

It did come but failed to update. Big difference. I posted because I thought it would update as it should have. My apologies anyway for the school boy error.
Waiting for my Nokia 7 Plus to arrive on Tuesday. Curse the Bank Holiday weekend! It's been sitting at the local delivery warehouse since Friday evening!
Question for those who've already received their phones...
Has anyone had any joy with WiFi Calling, VOLTE, with any operators with these phones?

I've tried EE, three & Vodafone.
EE works for both volte and WiFi calling, the other 2 networks don't.
Insider info from an advisor at Carphone Warehouse, The Nokia 7 Plus and Nokia 6 2018 are being discontinued in coming weeks due to manufacturing faults. It seems some units are exploding when on charge using the supplied charger. Also will be pulled out of the Android One program later this year for not committing to timely updates for all regions. Everyone get ready to return or sell your device.
I think it could be end of Nokia for good this time.

This guy is going around trolling the Nokia forums. Not true at all. Don't you think something like that would make the news somewhere. The press would be all over that if just one such incident happened

As a Carphone Warehouse employee, we get emails from head office mentioning these things including new deals about to launch in stores. It's true as stock will be on hold very soon and the Nokia 8 from last year will be reduced in price to make up for it.
