Hi all,
I think enough time has passed for those on EE to get an update, absolutely no sign whatsoever and not entirely sure where or who will be providing the update; has any one has success updating yet?
I'm currently on 9.5.1 and system updates fail constantly.
Is there an option to root and install a custom ROM?I'd rather do that then wait for EE/Oneplus.

I have tweeted the same question and EE responded with "The updates will come from OnePlus". I think you can flash the regular OnePlus 7 Pro ROM on the 5G variant but I think 5G functionality will be lost.

I've just had a lengthy (about 1h30m) chat to OnePlus and they were totally useless. I saved the chat history as a lot of the things were basically - reboot the phone, wipe cache and then finally erase everything; although I knew these steps would not work and I explained I had already tried that I done it anyway just to satisfy his requests.
Afterwards he pretty much said "Ah well, nothing more we can do then"
I find it hard to believe that between EE and OnePlus no body has the answer?

While that is a possibility, why pay more to have 5G when we'd be losing 5G functionality if we convert to an international model.

Tried Oxygen updater and still no joy, unfortunately!
What does it say? Up to date or just update failing?.
Just failing still ?. Same error message as always
Seems to me that OnePlus has pulled the update for some reason.
Mine updated to 5.3 when I first set it up.
Not really had to many issues with mine, no ghost touches or anything. All I've had is the odd crash on nova launcher when exiting my banking app for some reason but other than that not much to complain about.
That being said I would like to see the camera updates that are being talked about in 5.7 as these are supposed to make a significant difference to the pictures.

There are also people on the EE forums with the same problem.
I'm sure EE knows what's up here, but reaching the "right people" there is probably very hard.
It's a phone with essentially a "Beta" radio, using effectively "Beta towers", and I bet that they're gating the updates, carefully, based on that fact.
In time, I'm sure this will "smooth out", as 5G becomes a bit more proliferated, but right now, if you have a 5G phone, you're effectively a "Beta Tester", IMO, even IF the carrier doesn't "sell it" like that...
It's too bad they didn't abstract the builds a bit more, across the OP7, OP7 Pro (several variants), and the OP7 Pro 5G.
I bet OP will do some work here, as things evolve, to "limit" this issue. It's possible too, that they already did this, and EE "botched things", in terms of the carrier-development side, good luck figuring that out though, or getting anyone to admit it...
I returned my phone to EE as it wouldn't update (just said it was up to date, but on 9.1) and I started suffering numerous ghost touches and random crashes.
Unless Op / EE get this sorted, I suspect I'll go to 3 when they launch 5g in August

Yeah, it's a **** state of affairs. How long ago did you get the phone, on day of launch?
Oh, just as side note. I searched on Google for days for an answer and nothing came up. One search on Duck Duck Go and the second and 3rd post are full of people with the exact same problem.
Yes, I got mine on launch day. Gave it the befit of the doubt she allowed 3 days to get an update- nothing turned up and it was pretty un-useable due to the ghost touches.
That's when I told them to take it back

well that's underwhelming for people who like to use the stock firmware, wonder if verizon will get jellybean out for the s3 this year...was at my local vzw store yesterday and the sales guy was surprised to see a touchwiz-less S3 running jellybean. then i got an earful about voiding warranty when all i went there to do was get a sim for my wife's nexus. (my old phone, just replaced it with the S3 this week)
Happy to see that error being killed. A couple of areas around Rochester are basically s3 dead zones thanks to that. Not quite as exciting as jb but... enough to make me happy.

This is a Verizon only issue that NEEDS to be fixed. It is bull that Verizon wasted time locking down the bootloader that they screwed up their device... but to people who live in one of the "dead zones" the phone is all but useless as anything except a music player. Just because it's not an issue you have suffered doesn't mean it's not a necessary and needed fix.

The NO SIM error is ridiculous, and I am glad this will fix it. For those who don't know, some people can hardly use their S3 at times. I've had instances where every time I try to send a text for 20-30 minutes, it says sending, I lose all connections (no network at all) for a minute or two, then it reconnects, rinse, repeat. This happens when trying to send texts AND making a phone call. Imagine if you had an emergency and every time you tried to call your network dropped for 2 minutes.
But I don't know what else this will do to the phone. Disable current root methods? Bootloader issues?

Yes, many of us have the same issues, even in great 4G areas like DC. No new sim card or handset replacement would ever fix it. Took long enough for VZW to release this fix.
As usual if you are rooted/unlocked/running a ROM do NOT download the OTA update. Wait less than 24 hours for someone on the forums to debloat and flash manually. Obviously if you are stock, rooted, and locked go ahead and take the update VZW pushes out.

Yep, planning on it. I'll wait a little longer to be safe. But I would love to be able to use my phone where I have full bars on campus.
Anybody else surprised there was no leak for this build? Or any other build for that matter? Especially having it go live within the week. I don't know maybe seeing so many leaks on previous devices over the years has left me spoiled. Regardless I am looking forward to some new radios.

I'm not familiar with how these updates work on a Samsung phone.....I had a droid x2 and when that phone received and OTA update it would prompt you to download and install the update. I am assuming this will work the same way? I'm stock unrooted but don't want to get stuck that way....I'll let a few people here download and install and say it's safe before installing

That's not good. I really have no desire to root the phone at this point but this may push me in that direction. I'm surprised that's legal.... When updating you typically lose all service briefly, which I would think is a choice up to the user. I would be pissed as hell if this thing updated without me ok'ing it.

No, don't pay attention to internet scuttlebutt. That being said, nobody truly knows when the official will ship, but TMO has been excellent with providing timely updates in the past. I suspect it will ship sooner rather than later.
I checked the T-Mobile software update site last week and the S7 edge was only in the Manufacturing Development stage. It has since moved to the T-Mobile Testing stage. I would think we'll see the update sooner than later.

The sad thing is that the non-carrier variants for US (G935U) doesn't even have Nougat beta or whatsoever. Plus, T-Mobile let its customers know at least the stage of Nougat release on the phone while Samsung has no mention of Nougat coming to 935Us. Also, the non-carrier variants are on a quarterly update cycle for security updates too. So, it would seem that, at least in the US, get the carrier variants for Samsung phones.

I am fine with quarterly updates, but yes carrier phones are getting the update before unlocked phones. I am willing to bet Sammy is being "forced" to allow carrier updates first because all US variance can flash the unlocked version.

Have you finished that update? And how's the new one now?
Version 85.9.1124.31 is the old Pro Camera update, with a new version number. I think they pushed this update for rollback the camera to the consumers that update again to the broken version.
Version 90.9.1123.20 actually is the same with all feature broken (same version, same release date, same problems), but new UI and AR Stickers; 85 is the same of the system 8.1041.71 (maybe with pro mode gesture working in landscape? IDK).
They update the app by mistake again, but with a new description in the Play Store that says there are fixes for Nokia 8. We can only wait for the correct version.

They need to step up their game. I wonder how many people, if any, work at the software department.

It's a mess on the N8. I kind of like mine, when it comes to hardware. But there's a lot of mistakes here and there. Missing bluetooth audio profiles, Glance being a complete mess the camera being pretty disappointing in both quality and features. For a device that's been out for a year now, it's a bit of a letdown and that's for 100% due to the software as the hardware is absolutely great. You'd expect a little more than this.

Not difficult at all. And, I HIGHLY suggest "going through the process" leading up to the conversion (proper drivers). Otherwise, the MSM tool wouldn't work in case you brick your phone or are in need of a compete stock reflash.

RCS works on Tmo. Also, for some odd reason, the Horizon Light doesn't work on the international ROM. For those who don't know, Horizon Light is the blue lights that flash on the edges of the screen along with the Ambient Display when you get notifications.

Hmmm so no RCS on the international ROM? So far the only benefit is faster updates? I think until an update comes out that I want to flash I think I'm good. And I think the RCS is the Tmobile variety not the Google universal profile

Hmmm so no RCS on the international ROM? So far the only benefit is faster updates? I think until an update comes out that I want to flash I think I'm good. And I think the RCS is the Tmobile variety not the Google universal profile

It's a two-part deal. International pushes faster updates while TMobile begins lagging behind on their end, increasing the gap. I would be on International firmware if not for a physical defect with my phone (inconsistent battery & soft microphone while using speakerphone).
Replacement will be converted promptly. I'll have to solve the Horizon Light at a later time. Not a deal breaker, but I don't like having features that outright don't work anymore.

RCS works on Tmo. Also, for some odd reason, the Horizon Light doesn't work on the international ROM. For those who don't know, Horizon Light is the blue lights that flash on the edges of the screen along with the Ambient Display when you get notifications.

Not sure what u r talking about. I have flash to 2 tmobile 7 pro to international firmware and both works with the notification horizon edge blue lighting.

Well, I speak for myself when I say that it wasn't working. And I did a factory reset as well.

Yeah I was just on the international version and my blue light was working as well. RCS no of course. Just went back to the T-Mobile version this evening though.
So, do you recommend staying on tmo rom or switching to the international?

I recommend switching. The TMo firmware still had some quirks, like the ghost touch issue & shorter battery life.
I have no issues and I'm on Tmobile and Sim unlocked and Bootloader unlocked from OnePLus Token . My phone runs smooth .

Well RCS is really a joke at this point. I'm considering flashing at this point. Is Horizon light an app?

Sorry. Just got power restored this morning after the hurricane. Anyways, I had zero issues with the int version. If you don't like using a different launcher and need/want the Google feed or whatever it's called today, keep the T-Mobile version. If not slap on Nova launcher on int version. I myself prefer the int version just because I dispose the T-Mobile startup logo and sound. Lol. I know, first world problems.

You can still get the Google feed on Nova. Just need to install Google companion app

Yeah. When I had the int version, I ran that for awhile with no issues. Had my phone carrier unlocked, installed the Android 10 beta that dropped the 3rd. Anyways, I had bars but the x next to reception. No data and late to arrive text. Instead of messing around with things right before the hurricane came, I just went the safe route. Reinstalled int version then Android 10 beta this morning, and all was groovy.

That's what I meant by saying slap on Nova launcher. I thought it was implied when I said that. Sorry.

I hate that you guys fell this way. I think this is maybe the best phone I've ever had. I've been running Android 11 for a couple days and I must say it vastly improved this phone. It fixed a lot of problems I was having and I couldn't be happier. It sucks because we have one of the only phones that can make Oneplus, Samsung and Apple fanboys jealous... IMO....

Nono, it really is amazing phone but my problem is with my updates and allot of others, people can't update at all even with a vpn, and the customer service agent helpful at all, if it wasn't for people posting new updates I'd be stuck on may security

Oh okay, I thought we were losing a member. I don't know why the updates are so iffy. Some regions are like clockwork and some regions aren't getting anything. Yes, the customer service is garbage.

If the updates wore as consistent as other regions it would be my perfect phone! Without a doubt.
But I'm going to wait to December when we get the android 11 update, and hope I get it

Sucks you guys have to wait so long to get it. It's truly awesome...
Love the phone, I really do but for updates this phone sucks big time. Came from a pixel and samsung phone.. their updates are so much faster. Even for a samsung phone.
I hope the update for android 11 is a good one because I'm thinking to switch back to a pixel phone.
Let me get this straight? You want to sell your phone because you haven't had an update in the last couple of months ? Clearly you've never been a Samsung user I'm loving the phone, coming from a Samsung galaxy note 9. I now have a Snapdragon , decent base storage , and that dual battery / 30 minute fast charge is perfect for heavy usage, paired with decent battery life, +5 hour SOT over 24 hours consistently with all the bells and whistles switched on.

I got an update every month with my S10 plus , so yeah I so know, before the S10 updates wore crap, region settings gone no updates themes don't work fonts don't work breeno services don't work heytap cloud doesn't work, I spent 1100 pounds on this phone I expect top notch for paying that amount, because your not having these problems it's not effecting you so you can't really comment on this..... Have you looked on the updates thread about all the other problems?...

you guys living in EU should read this to understand :
"As a side note, due to limitations of the GDPR, European users will not have access to the beta version of the software. Even if you have an eligible device, you’ll need to wait until the stable rollout of Color OS 11 before you’ll be able to install it. Users outside of Europe will be able to try the open beta if they wish."
Source : https://www.androidauthority.com/color-os-11-1157601/
But Oppo swear they will release stable version before end of 2020.
Luckily im using Fx2P asia version . I have to say COS11 is really nice update and this device is stunning

oh wait what
Im using CPH2025 and i got update to COS11 , im living in Vietnam
Try change VPN to VN ? which version are you in ?
I think oppo should be quicker with the updates inc security patches.
I remember reading this was one area they were looking to improve on.
I can't wait for colorOS11 but December is quite far away, hope the western market it get it much sooner.
