[PSA] OTA potentially getting blocked in North America - OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion

I was waiting around for the OTA to Android 10 to pop up on my device, but it never came. I wanted to watch some UK Netflix, so I used my VPN and as soon as I connected the OTA notification popped up. So if you're in the US/Canada/Mexico (probably others as well) you might need to try something similar.

I don't think so, Android 10 is just not done and OP applies a "staged rollout", but you can update via VPN, for example italy works to get on 10.0.1 ...

You can always download the local update yourself from oneplus website and install it as local update

People That Have Received The Update

Can you post the address you were sent to in order to D/L it?
The update is sent ota (over the air). You dont manually install it, its all automatic.
what if your running on the AT&T network and not T-Mobile....will it still update OTA?
can you check the device info (use anycut->activities->device info) and tell us all the info displayed?

Understand it's OTA but from what I have heard, you receive an SMS and click YES is you want to install. Therefore, presume that "yes" is a link?
OTA doesn't always mean it's pushed over a dedicated channel... just means it is downloaded to the phone rather than a computer
I have mine connected via AT&T and this is what it says

No, you don't receive an sms.
so when will a update program be available for non T-mobile users?
Would tmobile release an update for someone not using their service?
It's hard to say, get a prepaid sim. Don't use it, just stick it in there one night a week from now after the update is out for everyone.

OK cool...so has anyone been awake when this update came through? Does it just suddenly power off and restart?
What update are ya talking about, I didn't hear about an update?
Havent gotten the update yet. I know some of the news said it was supposed to happen between the 23rd and the 26. Phone Still shows RC19, wonder when i will get my update.
If you look at Device Info it shows you if it is downloading an update. This will be the key factor. And I believe that is what prompts you to update.
After reading what the update does....not concerned about getting it any longer. Nothing that will be truly noticeable to most.
Update?

I hope you find out if non tmobile users can get it. In uk you will be able to buy unlocked. I was hoping the update was via google rather than tmobile and they had just always said tmobile due to the branding of the handset

I tried but with no luck (
Any ideeas??
so what exactly is your question and what does it have to do with the apps and games thread?
I tried too! But nothing. No updates...
its UK only...
I am in uk and seems like there is no update yet for us...
I have received this upgrade and have had nothing but trouble since installing it. I was wondering if there was a way I can put my phone back to the way it was?
Basically, since the update, the only difference in my phone that I notice is an app called "Dock" which is basically a new screen for when you are driving. I have had nothing but trouble receiving calls or texts and at worst, I have received texts 26 hours after they were sent. My work depends on my company being able to contact me at any given time which, since the update, they have had a great difficulty doing.
Is there any way I can roll back the phone to the previous software as HTC and my network company are shockingly bad at making any attempt to solve the problem?
Thanks

SM-G955W Nougat to Oreo update Help Stop update please stop notification.

Good Day Boys
If root Rogers S8+, has anyone fixed this 80% battery charge and Bixby not working ( I Do not want to root )
I have yet to find anything on the web Google or YouTube on my situation. I have a Rogers Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus SM G955W and I keep getting the update pop up for Oreo. I do not want to upgrade as I'm fine with nougat. I made sure before all of this in developer mode auto updates was off. One day the pop-up came up and I accidentally pressed the update button. I quickly paused it and it's at 2% but it keeps popping up to keep downloading. I have backed up my full phone but I'm looking to find out how to backup the OS so I don't have to use a computer.
I don't what to update at all.
There must be a way to delete or hide this notification.
Also the reason I do not what to update is ( Don't Fix What Is Not Broken )
I use many apps that are not in the store and don't need to update to find out I can not use them.
I also use Carplay in my 2016 Mazda CX-5 and do not want to lose this hack.
Should I do the Update?
Apps I use that I'm scared will not work on Oreo. Anyone on oreo that wants to try or have it running??

Yeah I was like I want oreo for my 955w but sadly can't, unless you follow a guide you can definitely have 8.0 for 950 or 955w's
With how slow the Canadian carriers are with updates Oreo won't be around until the rest of the world has it then add a couple more months

How is the update process designed with Huawei Watch 2 (BT)?

Back a couple of hours, I had a chat and a call with the support Huawei stuff. Among other things about the update process of the Huawei Watch 2 (BT).
What the support staff told me, that there is no way to manually update (trigger an update by the enduser). "The system" of Huawei decides, when a serial number will get the updates. And it can take up to 8 weeks, until all "the system" has enrolled all the updates to the watch. When the watch will be factory resetted, all this will happen again.
In all my experience as a software developer, architect and as a normal enduser, this "process" was completely unknown by me. I would tend to say, that it is the worst user experience ever.
Today, I got the update to Wear OS 1.7 (from 1.6). As of supports statement, there are several updates in the line until Wear OS 2.0.
My question relates to this: What are your experiences (from recent buyers)? How long does it took for you to finally get a working watch?
PS: "working watch"... I also report an issue, that the Bluetooth internet tethering does not work as the watch did not define this scope in the Bluetooth handshake. From the phones view, the watch just cannot do tethering at all. Support staff told me, that is be fixed with Wear OS 2.0. So I will nearly have useless watch for up to 8 weeks until I get the 2.0 update. Yay I am not a couch potato, I do perform activities outside my WiFi network
I didnt quite get what your actual question is but as far as i know if you want internet connection and your watch is bt variant you can either connect through wifi or your phone's internet through bluetooth
And i geuss thats the case with every other smartwatch and OSs
Same issue here
Just got my watch this morning and it's stuck at wear os 1.7. When I search for updates on the watch it tells me there's no updates.
I've also updated all apps in the play store
Could anyone else shed light on this or is it just a matter of time?
Thanks in advance

How long did it took for you until you watch was usable (the 2.0 update)?
Outside WiFi zone, I cannot use my watch because I have to stick with 1.7 for as long as Huawei's system won't give me the update. So no internet over Bluetooth until I finally get the 2.0 update.
I have connection with bluetooth.

You have a Bluetooth internet connection or just a Bluetooth connection?
For example, if you explicitly turn off you watches WiFi, will Google Maps or Google Music (streaming, not downloaded files) work?
What is you Wear OS version?

Now i undrestand your issue.
I will give u a clear answer here
Huawei watch 2 hasnt recieved the wear os 2.0 update yet, and its 1.7 right now
Also from the day one i got this watch (one year ago which was many updates ago) this watch had no problem connecting to internet through bluetooth (as i mentioned in my first post here)
You just need to connect the watch to your phone and then turn on you phone's data connection which then the watch will use it and u will have internet connection (google maps/play store/ system update etc)
And also if u turn on vpn on your phone it will be also effected on the watch.

No we dont, there is another topic regarding this matter titled "Wear os update"
So it seems to me that the Huawei Support ist knowingly lying to potential buyers.
The told me that the 2.0 update was already released and 2.1 is in planning (as announced by Google). And that there are several updates between 1.7 and 2.0 that my watch will pick up (become pushed) within the next 8 weeks.
What I see from your responses is that there were no updates in the past after 1.7..
And Huawei's update server decides, when to roll out (pushes) updates to the watch. Manual searches for updates will always be "already on newest release" because Huawei's update server don't work that way. At least this is what the support told me.
So to sum up... It seems that particular my watch have a Bluetooth issue since it does not announce tethering capabilities with the handshake. That is why, I cannot use my watch. Support stated, that this issue is known and already fixed with 2.0..
I get really angry with Huawei's support. You guys have pointed out so many points, that the support didn't told the truth. I had 3 contacts with different support staff. So this is not the accident of one individual.

Yeah it's sad.
I was hoping wear os was going to be a different story than android and updates would be pretty consistent across watches.
I am now considering going back to my gear s3 frontier tyzen watch until such a time as Google decides to release a watch (if they ever do).
Say what you want from apple but at least they're consistent (I know they only have to cater for their devices) and watch os looks damn good and seems like the better watch experience you can have atm.
i agree, the updates for the watch are like they are for their phones, - non-existent - as usual they make good hardware but it's backed up by poor support and updates from them.
I just wish Google would hurry and release a smartwatch so can swap over.

Hotspot not working after OSS 11 to 13 Upgrade

So I did a factory reset from 11 and upgraded to 13. Been on the fence about downgrading until I tired it on my work vans Uconnect Bluetooth and it wasn't crashing it (Was a known issue) and was like ok maybe i can live with the other stupid issues like it not auto playing Pandora when a Bluetooth device connected.
Well when I try to enable hotspot it says "to use personal host spot you need to subscribe to Personal Hotspot Services". Worked just fine on 11. I got Verizon in the US. I am Rooted and on latest security updates on stock OOS13. When I go online or use the stupid automated service it just says my device doesn't support it.
Willing to go back to 11 (Honestly feature wise it just seemed the best overall with the exception of my work van which I can live without) or use a different tethering app if out there.

You can try updating to the latest OOS13.1 (and check if it fixed this issue) or revert to OOS11.
