Any news on the Oreo update for the phone?
Breaking news: Just heard my wife's sister was in the post office today and she was sitting next to a women who had been in the local library, and she'd overheard the greengrocer telling the butcher that he'd seen a documentary on Discovery, where Winston Churchill recounted a tale of a story he'd heard about a time-travelling clam who'd spilled under interrogation that the update is coming in November.
If you examine the story above, you'll notice that some is a load of nonsense, and the rest is a heart-warming story about a time-travelling clam.
In seriousness: http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/samsung-galaxy-s8-android-8-oreo-update-3295316
seriously hope we get the Oreo update soon.
Samsung is notoriously slow at doing updates....
If we get before next year I'm gonna go buy a lottery ticket because I know then I can't possibly loose....
Any new feature in particular you guys are looking for in Oreo? Because I think I'm done updating for the sake of updating, also it may be more difficult to root after update.
Couple of minutes back the Pay app was updated on my Note 8. The reason was -support for Oreo (O) OS Android update. Hopefully this is indicative of an update in '17 instead of '18

My guess would be February.
On 31st November
????
yesterday there was an article on FB (android authority or one such media site) suggesting Samsungs device timetable is Jan >
wow, an article on Facecrap suggesting a timetable...now THATS information you can count on! :cyclops::cyclops:
don't expect an oreo update anytime soon. The oreo BETA program is rumored to start October 31st to signup for the s8 and s8+ only. Which I believe is total crap, the BETA should be available for the samsungs flagship which is the note 8. also the BETA will only be available on sprint and t mobile. not sure about international variants. Expect the official OREO update to roll out late February of next year
30th Feb

:crying: I just got this email to fill out to beta test Nougut.
Looks like we should get it on February or March.
Received email, completed survey. In a supreme cosmic coincidence, I got the email moments after picking up my Daydream VR. The universe is sending me a sign!
I think that they might be releasing Nougat without Daydream initially. If the new questionnaire is any indication because they asked a lot of questions about Daydream capability.Also, it takes, at least, 7 days to verify a rom with Google. So unless they already have a nougat rom cooked (maybe without daydream?), it's definitely slipping to February.
Paging @DrakenFX. I told you we won't be getting nougat
Truly disappointing. Glad that I sold my A7 today.
Yes, very disappointing if true! That nearly borders on false advertising, in fact. It would be a shame to buy a 'daydream ready' phone when in fact it is not daydream ready.

Eh...Long update. But at least the beta testing proves that they care about bug testing. THAT, I can get around.
At this rate, it seems like end of feb might be a possibility. I'm suspecting probably end of q1..
This sucks big time.
Anyone looking to buy an A7? My Huawei Mate 9 arrives today.
Filled the form out. Found the "Is your phone rooted" question interesting. I don't remember that being on the first one.

Yeah, Answered yes too. Hoping maybe they are looking for some rooted users to test updating from a rooted device or something. Ether way LOS looks like they will be releasing soon so not worried.
All you people complaining, wouldn't you rather wait longer for a bug free update? A lot of OEMs are having trouble with Nougat and if it takes them till March then so be it because I want MiFavor to be fixed.
All the people are complaining here, but hey Motorola also did this. The Moto Z Play was scheduled for Nougat update in December but latest updates point to a feb-march release. If you really want those updates so much buy a Pixel for twice the price.

Exactly. I don't get why people are acting like Nougat is the Holy Grail and they'll die if they don't get it.
Android has changed a lot. I remember the wait for Lollipop when the newest Android version was 4.x, and for a good reason: Lollipop changed a lot about Android, and I'd lay a claim that it changed more than the M->N update. I don't have a lot of hope that ZTE would give the Nougat on Axon 7 a top notch UI flow, but I do hope silly stuff get fixed (ie excessive background killing due to app battery consumption, big ugly "clear all" button that gets mistakenly pressed all the time). Daydream... I'm not sure. Depends on the headset and also more importantly, actual good games that get released on the platform.

I saw that story today, looked at the calendar and realized one big contributing factor: Chinese New Year is on Saturday. A billion people are currently taking trips to their home towns to celebrate for two weeks, then travel back to the city. Not much gets done for about three weeks around the holiday. Hopefully around the middle of February they'll be back to parse what the second round of beta testing brings up, in which case... maybe end of Feb, early March we'll get Nougat, if all goes smoothly.
I'm a little disappointed, but it's not a big deal for me. I'm pretty happy with the phone as is.
Okay so I've spoken to Samsung today and they said that basically they will start rolling out oreo to the note 8 once they have rolled out oreo for the s8 and s8 plus for all carriers / regions
I'm assuming its in case there are even more bugs like the restart bug also the second reason they didn't role out with note 8 is because the note 8 will have some features the s9 has due to it having dual cameras so oreo will bit slightly different than the s8 one.
Samsung have also confirmed they will be rolling out bixby 2.0 along with the note 9 around August time. I'm assuming oreo isn't too far off for us note 8 users as they also told me to keep checking for updates (unless that's just something they are told to say)
They will most likely roll oreo out to German users first like they did with the s8.
So, do we really know when it happens? I don't think that this is any news to us. I was surely prepared that we have to wait for s8 to get oreo first so nothing really changes
Excuse me sir, I don't see where "We finally know when ..." here in your post.
Nothing new, same story, really no need to open a new thread ...
we DO know when...... it's LATER
and, its funny that you think some CS agent who answered your phone call has some sort of inside info that the rest of the world doesnt already have..it will come when it comes, and not a minute sooner
target May I reckon. Samsung are hopeless in updating devices. Nothing since Sept to end Jan then 2 since. Oreo is a mile off and they won't release it until the S9 is out there with it on otherwise no one would update!
Historically, I have received the current OS update in the beginning of April on my Notes. I have Tmobile.
Ha ha. I can't believe the suckers that hang on Samsung's every word regarding updates. I have had Samsung mobiles (and several tablets) since the Galaxy S and the updates are either very late or not at all. Not to mention they are generally also full of bugs and need updated again after a couple of months.
I just rooted my Note 8 running 7.1.1 as I know from personal experience Oreo will be late and buggy as hell. No interest in waiting for it whatsoever as the phone works perfectly as is.
Holy **** I was just trying to help people who don't know ?? you're all so salty and ****s towards me lmfao grow up its just an update hahaha little kids

The wording of your post made it seem like you had a definitive date. We all know the update flow, or at least anyone paying attention.
Also a phone rep is notoriously useless when it comes to that kind of information because they don't get daily updates from the folks debugging software and writing/porting code. Not to mention it's a good way for them to disappoint a lot of people when the QA process prevents the previously stated schedule from being met.
I know when we will get the software too, when a threshold of quality has been met that they deem acceptable.
At this point the mods may as well lock this thread

Which is what we've always said. By end of Q2, which is end of June. Was always supposed to come between start of April and end of June, and I constantly said it's usually towards the END of the time range -- it's never at the beginning.
And as I said there will be plenty of warning -- Korean carriers will get it first. It won't be a "surprise" in some random update. Also Pie KDZ for V30 will start with 30-something range of numbers. Like Nougat was 10, and Oreo was 20.

Yeah I haven't recieved it either. Even tried FirmwareFinder but it didn't work, just keeps downloading my current version.
They have released v10 for Chinese version only, that's why you can't install it.
any news about the update ?
Still waiting myself it's a joke really we have to wait so long
I made a comment on Facebook asking when the update is going to come. They answered that it will come in July, I still don't know what to believe. However no update so far.
It was supposed to be may the upgrade was due..Don't get why there is a delay
Huawei Netherlands confirmed to me the update for COL-L29 will be released in june 2020 for at least The Netherlands, no specific date known. I guess it's the same delay as the one for the P20 series.
This is the reason I'm ****ing done with Huawei / honor. Android 11 will be out before we get A10 even though the phone was promised 2 years of Android updates. Trash customer support and the phone itself is rather bad or so I feel. Getting a oneplus 8T / 8T pro when it launches in fall and never looking back.
I joined the closed beta in 3 months not even a hotfix for anything, also you'd think they would update your honor when you're on a buggy ass closed beta more often but nope, they be like roll back if you don't like it haha

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know why we didn't get the July update in the usual patch cycle (first Monday of the month)?
Waiting to have gesture navigation + UI finally fixed ...
I've read on Reddit it's because of the 4th of July public holiday.
Monday the 4th July was an Holiday in the USA. So i guess we will see it next Monday.
...and why not today?

Or they stick to their schedule of the first Monday of the month - holidays withstanding. That's more logical.
Last year the official 4th of July holiday fell on the first Monday of the month, Google released the update the following Wednesday, the 7th of July. I expect they will follow that pattern today.
https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/pixel/2021-07-01
And the July update is up.
https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/170103287/google-pixel-update-july-2022?hl=en
Note there are now 3 versions of firmware for the Pixel 6: Plain, EMEA/APAC, and Verizon.
So asside from EMEA/APAC, no big fixes or enhancements? Just security?
This is my first Pixel...is it normal to have no big fixes in an update?

Most of the enhancements come out quarterly, the June update contained a bunch. I would expect the next big feature release will be Android 13.
