I'm posting this to xda hoping it will get some attention because of the partnership. Around the middle of last year Honor volunteered to promise us regular updates for at least 1 and up to 2 years, but I don't think I've seen an update since Marshmallow. I know that doesn't necessarily mean Nougat, but it certainly doesn't mean nothing. Am I wrong? Has anyone else got anything since Marshmallow/EMUI 4 on their l-24?

I have L21, European. Got Marshmallow update, got B330 and B350 OTAs few days after purchase somewhere in November, and that's it. There is a January update (B360) which doesn't want to install on my device (frankly, I don't care anymore, my kiwi is running Lineage for two months now), so I guess this is end of a line, if 5X even gets something it will be much later this year. Marshmallow updates will probably still get published, but with no apparent schedule or plan.
I have B331, which is what I've had since Marshmallow, and even if I'd seen the few updates you got it would have at least been something to point at and try to convince myself they didn't just lie to boost their sales. I was fully onboard with Honor and was gonna stay loyal but this is getting under my skin. Plus I emailed their support that I thought was great last year but now I've never received a reply.
Hi
I have the Middle Eastern version of the Honor 5X.
The model number is: KIW-L21
My phone is running the latest available Marshmallow update which is B310 (middle east variant).
I understand that no Nougat update will be released, but when will the update for VoLTE support and WiFi calling be released for the Middle East version of this phone ? ? ?
VoLTE support has been available for the Indian version (KIW-L22) of this phone for many months now.
Honor is a smartphone brand that cannot be trusted - all they are good for is cheap false promises.
I will NEVER buy another Huawei or Honor phone again !

No ! Froyo is coming next week to G6
LG seems to have no love for the G6 in Europe, still being on the July Security patch clearly shows this.
Reason for this could possibly down to poor sales in Europe as the rapid drop in price since launch seems to reflect this somewhat.
Eitherway the G6 will get Oreo no doubt about that, the Asian Markets will get it first then other Market's with Europe more likely being last.
So don't be surprised if we don't see it until Spring next year at the earliest in Europe. :/

It' LGs fault that the phone is sold that bad in europe, because it's the worst version of G6 and not cheaper.
That the price is dropping that fast is a logical consequence...
If there would be better marketing (availability in stores) and support, the phone would sell much better!
Weird, I've got January 2018 security patch - much more recent than July. And, I'm in Europe too.

As far as I know January 2018 is the last security patch avaible for the H870 - I have that patch on my phone too.
Very disappointing.....we will update ....we will update....bla bla bla ....but when?
As a Canadian G6 user, I can tell LG could care less about the European market. I'm still waiting for Oreo on my device.
They keep saying they're gonna update the phone, yet they can't even give us a date for when the update is going to be released.
I know updating a phone is easier said than done, but why are they taking so goddamn long? I mean, they managed to get the V30 to Oreo within a year of its release. It can't be that difficult, can it?
I'd like to bring up the story of the forgotten LG G4 that only got Nougat in South Korea, because I think it's relevant to this. History tends to repeat itself.

"Lol" his message is from December 2017, no relation to now
DO NOT too optimistic. LG has re-defined "soon" and "future"

When it comes to v30 there is only 2 weeks delay beetween Canada and Europe. And around 4 month between Canada and Korea. So if oreo for g6 hits Korea this month , maybe by the end of the year OTA will arive to Canada and Europe xD
I received 8.0 about a week ago.
Don't expect 8.1 soon, probably never...

Please refer to this thread and don't create new ones.
I'm still on 7.0...
Still on 7.0 UK EE. The longest I've ever had to wait for an update. Not that I care about having the latest features and functions since it's a great stable phone for my daily needs although slightly concerned about security patches. Once again this delay highlights the fragmentation of the Android ecosystem. Patches should be far more centralised and streamline like iOS or Windows regarding updates and upgrades.

Since the U.S. government pretty much threw Huawei under the bus, I've been reluctant to get
a Mate10 pro, for fear of not receiving updates. The Mate9, that I currently have is still waiting
on the June patch, and now the July patch has hit FF. Neither, are approved.
Could someone tell me if the international version, BLA-L29 that I see is available on Amazon,
and has the bands to work in the USA, will the patches be more "approved" for this version,
than the one that has the U.S. warranty (Amazon), both appear to be L29 versions.
TIA
Huawei has promised bi-monthly updates for it's phones... Besides, the Android Enterprise Recommend program requires one security update every 90 days, if your Mate 9 is running on May 1, it's still within the boundaries of what Google requires.
Lots of updates will come to FF, not all of them will ever get released, they might have bugs or other problems.
Hi,
Got my mate 20 pro with October security update installed in mid December. However, haven't yet received any further update
Is there any way to update to the latest update without using FH method? OR just wait for the update to be available?
Currently residing in South Africa, have tried connecting to different countries via VPN and then tried searching for an update but have been unlucky!
Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks
RG
Try asking Huawei. They responded to my question via email in 2 business days.
Indian version is still on October security patch
You are lucky us optus customers are still on 9.0.0.122 and nothing in sight because it takes optus 6 months to test it....slow company.

I got M20 Pro from Singapore, When I landed in India for my holidays I got the latest .171 update.
You aren't missing much,
post-update-craze-phase will last for a week. I am on 171 and, may be ,there are couple of improvements in few departments but you will hardly notice the difference.
but don't make the mistake of letting FunkyHuawei monetize out of your lack of patience. Version 171 has enabled option to unlock OEM. Also I would not risk rooting a Chinese phone.
Thanks guys, I'm currently happy with the device, just want an update that fixes selfie processing, rest all good
So glad to know that I'm not missing much in terms of an update..
Thanks again.
RG
I'm just waiting for an update to see if it fixed the messaging notification and Google maps, also I'm having an issue with a few apps occasionally not loading like opinion rewards, apkmirror, auspost, music I have to clear cache, optimise battery, use phone manager to optimise memory and sometimes even reboot to get the apps to load correctly.

Yes its worst update cycle in India.
When Samsung Note 9 got 1st January 2019 security update, mate 20 pro in India is still with october update.
We need to complain together with huawei.
The worst part is my brothers Honor View 10 of a year and half back device got November security update when 3 to 4 times higher price flagship is with October security update.
Flagship value in India for huawei is NIL it seems
Report to @huaweiindia @huaweiMobile on twitter.
I'm a bit confused. I just received mine yesterday (after 2 weeks eBay shipping debacle) and I went to look for my pie update, but there isn't one available. So I came here and read through a few posts and it seems that some people have upgraded and others haven't. I the SHT-W09 version. I've read where some have recommended using hisuite, but when I tried to, it said I needed "Huawei Mobile Services", which won't install via the link that it provides. Can someone point me in the right redirection? I'm just trying to get this think upgraded to Android Pie.
If you have a US version, you do not have 9.

yeah the manufacturer isn't too keen on releasing pie for US base devices and has nothing to do with the China trade war they've never issued us devices full OS updates from what I am told.

You are very wrong. I've owned various Huawei devices for years. Before the Mate 10 Pro debacle when Trump bullied AT&T and Best Buy into not carrying the M10P Huawei provided full OS updates to it's US customers the same as outside the US for its products.
But after the M10P Huawei abandoned the US market. The US model M10P received no feature or OS updates from Huawei while the international models were updated.
Prior to the M10P we got the same updates as everybody else so you can definitely thank Trump for the fact that the US model isn't receiving OS updates.
Just updated ot 9.1.0.328(C432E3R1P2) - September updates for the 8.4" UK version.
If you have the north american version. you do not get android 9.
If you have any other version you have or will get android 9.
Anyway to hack a Android 9 onto NA versions?
I have CMR-AL19 from ebay.... (Media Pad M5 Pro) - Still Android 8.0.0 - > 4 times called support, 3 times they told me it isn't available for my model and fourth time they told me they manually push an update and if it still isn't available to update I have to bring it to a store.... no store in my near....I'm a bit annoyed.
