Chinese Mate 8 OTA's & United States

Trying to find out if anyone in the United States with the Chinese version of the Mate 8, NXT-AL10, has ever received an OTA? Did you somehiw register it or do some trick to get it. I only ask as the most recent OTA has been out for a couple days and everytime I have EMUI check it says no update available. I'm currently on B137. I want to keep this phone stock since Huawei has been pumping out updates but if we are somehow restricted from getting OTA updates then I am going to root and flash stuff. Just curious! Thanks for the help

thats the thing about OTA updates, they come out at different points in time in different areas, so it could be a while until u receive yours... no one knows for sure (except maybe your carrier )

B156 for the nxt-al10 is out.

Yep moments after posting this morning I got the update! Awesome... I still may do the flash to international especially if their update they got today fixes notification issues... we'll just have to see their findings after they have had the update for a little bit

K9 mail notifications still won't work with the update.

OTA updates for UK/Europe Mate 9?

I'm purchased a Mate 9 (MHA-L09) from 3 store in the UK last week, with 2 weeks returning windows.
So far, I'm very happy with the phone's performance and satisfied with the battery life. However, there is one issue that worry me.
The build number on the phone is B126, which from reading the threads, it was an OTA updates for Europe over 2 months ago in early December. Since then, there was a B138 OTA and now B158 update for other regions, except Europe.
So, why are Mate 9 from EU not receiving updates from Huawei? Is it because there are less phone sold in Europe, so Huawei assigns less stuff to maintain our model?
For the money Huawei charges for the Mate 9 in UK/Europe, I was expecting better timely updates for both fixes and security patch updates.
P.S. Does anyone know when the next OTA update for Europe is due?

Bought mine from carphone warehouse last month on the 13th. Unlocked/sim free/unbranded and I too am still on B126.

I have read on some Czech forum that B136 was recalled due some issues and that Huawei is working on re-releasing this update (or a newer one) in February.
As far as I remember with Huawei P9, it too had like a 3 months gap in updates since premiere

B126 has better SOT, I wouldn't worry. The European version had already 2 updates since release so it's not like they're slacking.

Is your phone suffering from a bug that you're hoping will be fixed in an update? If not then I don't think you need to worry too much about it.

A more recent Android security patch would be nice.
Also the newer updates seems to provide better support for 3rd party music widgets on lock screen. Right now I'm using Microsoft's Next lock screen, since my Audible; Pocket Casts and USB Audio Player don't have any controls on Huawei lock screen. The only problem with Next lock screen is the battery life decreases a lot, from excellent to just enough getting though 16 hours daily use.

The update for the Mate 9 is imminent. If you recall in the news Three UK launched WiFi Calling about a week ago. The Mate 9 will be getting this with the next update. I am expecting the update this month. It was going to be released sooner but a few bugs were discovered and need ironing out first.
The firmware is really stable TBH. However, it would be nice as mentioned above, if the security patch could be addressed sooner if the firmware is still being worked on.

I was wanting to update. Even thought about using funkyhuawei.... But now I'm not to bothered. As I get plenty of screen time. Easily get 2 days use and don't have any issues with notifications. So following the old saying. Don't try and fix something that's not broke.....

There is a new update for the UK model https://gavinsgadgets.com/2017/02/11/huawei-mate-9-uk-version-firmware-update-details/
There are specific new stuff for the UK within the B138, so not all B138 firmwares are equal. Details of changes in my post.

Picked up my OTA up update to 138 on Friday.
Just had to go into settings and Check for it.
All seems fine so far.

I have 1 MHA-L29 C432 B138 and when I upgraded from B126 to B138 in terms of battery consumption it got worse, I hope that's not your case.

Yes there is with WiFi calling. Activate it by going into the main settings app. Under networks , tap the MORE option. Mobile Networks and then activate it.

They are limiting update through APN settings ,each carrier has different APN.
So Sim card,APN,and Regions,decide if you get the update or no.

No,my carrier doesn't support it.
I noticed changing sim card, shows hidden applications that are not available on my carrier sim card.
CNN and another app appears on my home screen after changing sim cards.
So maybe volte is inside the firmware but hidden.

Anyone got C636B172 OTA yet?

I'm in the United States with T-Mobile and I still haven't gotten the update has anyone else gotten it and how is it?

Nothing in the UAE either. The service center that has my phone claims to have 'updated' it. Will let you know if they really did so on Saturday.

Dont have my phone with me so cant check. Will let you know tomorrow.
EDIT - Never mind, I'm clearly having a massive brain blockage at the moment. Doubt my phone is the US variant, most probably the European variant. Will check anyways and let you know. Apologies for the confusion.

That's fine I'm not asking about the US variant. In the title I state C636 which is Asia if I recall correctly.

Using C636 in Singapore.
Got the update a week ago.
Some people here also did not receive it yet.
So I guess, they are rolling in batches.
It took around 1 week for me to get them from the time I've read about someone getting the B172 update.
I've noticed a slight battery improvement from B158. Music controls from spotify now works on the locksreen.

Mine is not the C636. Its the C185.
Service center returned the unit, wiped clean with a B158 build. So much ado about nothing there.

AUS still stuck at 158

is the C432B181?
whats the difference between that and the C636B172?

here are the lastest firmwares and changelogs..
http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=lon

Received it on the day of the announcement here in Malaysia which is really surprising given that there normally is a lag in receiving updates here.

Tried with firmware finder tonight
Downloaded full update.... But got an "unauthorized update" error when trying to install
So the wait continues

Has anyone received C185 update since April 2017??

I love Huawei - but I bought a OnePlus 5T and I don't think I'm coming back to Huawei.
It's too long. Like I'm invisible. Couldn't care less now.

Where do you live?
Example: American users, which are living in USA and bought model for USA market (region C567 ) and use american carriers, got and getting OTA. In February USA region received massive update to Oreo.
But... If american user bought phone in China and using it at home, he/she seriously decrease chances to get update.

I also had issues with ota having a c185 in Europe. It was possible to get major updates by using the 'download latest full package' tab in the updated on the phone. Incremental were more difficult so in the end I changed the phones region to c432.

Wait, you're just getting 131 update?

I received .131 OTA last night from Three UK. Apart from the security update I can't see any other material differences at the moment.

Single Sim versions are still on 130

This update but for the single SIM variant came through to my phone today. 782MB.
I took the SIM out before checking for updates via Settings.

I'm downloading it now while on holiday in France, EE single SIM version. Would be nice if the wi-fi I'm on was quicker than 528k download.

.134 is now listed on Firmware Finder, over a month after the EU versions get .152!!.... But it won't download!
At this rate, we'll probably get Oreo by November next year?!
Correction: Eu versions have had .152 for 2 months!

Complain to huawei and petition for them to get rid of these stupid uk region updates. We need to all be the c432 version

As far as I know UK is still part of the Europe. I don't know why Huawei think that we don't....

its the network operators (three, ee and o2) who have dictated to huawei what the firmware and updates should be. i think vodafone are the only uk network operator that supplied the c432 model which is also for UK, its just the c782 model that is crippled.

So glad I rebranded to C432, see no reason why I should be on firmware 3-4 months old when I can have pie installed right now.
EE are dog****, no reason to delay the updates yet they seem to do it just to piss off their customers.

I messed about changing an o2 single sim to dual sim but kept it at c782 and the bootloader code changed. Big mistake.
Got so fed up sold it on ebay paid the contract off took it out again on 3 for £12 a month cheaper and rebranded an already dual sim to c432 with no bootloader code changing.
All in all good business. Probably shouldnt of bothered with a huawei phone agajn though too much hassle
