I posted back on the 26th that my prime had "updated" with a new firmware, at least that is what it looked like.... until it rebooted on the same .21 firmware that I was on prior.
Thread was here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674370
Let me give you a play by play of what happened after some further investigation.
Woke up and grabbed the prime to check weather and schedule for the day, figured with all the talk about possible updates, I should check. Showed that an update was available! I yell out "finally!"- the wife asks what I am so happy about. I tell her that I am currently updating the prime to get us off of the gawd-awful .21 that she hates so much. She has been waiting just as I have for the update since having a poor browsing and gaming experiences since we got our first prime.
The prime goes through the download process- I go to the settings area to look at the build that I am currently on-- this is the standard .21- build from march. I complete the download that the prime reboots, shows our buddy the android getting his guts re-arranged just like every firmware update shows while the update is applied. The wife is standing there waiting for it to complete.
It reboots, she starts using it, says that it seems stable after browsing for a little bit. I jump into the forums and spread the news. Demandarin asks for a screen shot since he is not showing an update. I pry the prime out of my wife's hands and go to see the version--- SAME FREAKING VERSION!! NOOOOOO!
Posted the screenshot and ask if anyone sees a version of anything that has changed-- nope. Now I am really pissed and wondering what happened.
So now I start investigation into what happened and why. I look at the device tracker to see if they saw me download and apply the update-- nope, only shows the date that I originally downloaded .21:
2012-03-29 23:17:11US_epad-9.4.2.15-user to US_epad-9.4.2.21-user
So I keep digging and find out that it just downloaded the exact same .21 that it did at the end of march! The firmware that it just downloaded has a new date/time stamp from may 26.. but it is the exact same file.
Just thought I would post to see if anyone else had this happen on .21- or if anyone has any idea how this could happen.
Samsung did the same thing with their updates on my TV, I would go look and see a new date and think a new update only to find the same version number and same fixes.
so, i was waiting patiently for a very long time for another update, but nothing came. it was when i was on my last straw being forced to look at boxes whenever anyone with an apple device posted emojis did i search around and see there is indeed a 2019 update. i talked to a huawei employee and he told me to DL hisuite on the PC, which i did. when i connected and clicked update, it claimed i was up to date. yet when i checked my emui it's 5.
so, i want to save myself some trouble before i ask to even get the update: did huawei fix the boxes i see whenever anyone using apple posts an emote? and has anyone even had this problem? am i the only one? if the answer is yes to the first question, what can i do to update my mediapad pro since it keeps insisting nothing is wrong with it?
Hi,
I've been using Honor 8x since it launched and didn't have any issues, but recently (in the past week or two) i've started getting system updates multiple times per day, requiring the device to be restarted every time. At this point i'm utterly confused on whats going on and if this is normal. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Device version is 10.0.0.186(C432E5R1P3), and it doesn't seem to change after the updates.

Then i guess its normal. Although i cant seem to find any information on what the updates are about, and the phone itself says the latest update is from April
i guess it's the implementation of the new api for the spy app, called tracing or corona or ... idk
So is it useful or not ? I got it recently.
Hi all,
Every time my phone automatically downloads an OEM update, it's telling me to update my phone, and I can defer the updates after 4 times. After that, I can't defer the updates. It just updates automatically, and each time, my phone is getting slower and slower and slower which I don't want at all.
Also, auto-update system is off on developer options. So I am at a loss now.
Not sure if there is really anything you can do about it. My phone doesn't seem any slower.
Are you absolutely sure it's the update that is slowing down the phone?
yep

Sorry for the late reply. I'll admit I do have a good chunk of apps in my phone, but it's an experience thing that I have with samsung phones.
When I had the S9 (from verizon, not sure on model), I still kept Android Oreo because I took use of a software bug that let's you keep your android version without updating your phone, and one of my relatives, same phone model, was updating their phone to the latest version because they have to after a certain number of defers. Note that I do have a good chunk of apps on my old phone, but my phone was a lot faster and responsive than my relatives phone, being that their phone only had a few apps and mine having more apps than theirs.
If I have to update the phone, then I will update the phone. I don't want an automatic update, and then all of a sudden, different problems occur that has never happened on the last build.
I have two T-Mobile's OnePlus N200 5G
One of them got Android 12 about 6 weeks ago.
Second one (received from T-Mobile few days ago under Trade In offer) is still on Android 11 and does not get any update (April 1 security patch of Android 11 is the last). Manual check does not get updates too.
How can I install Android 12 on this device?
it depends on what you want out of the phone.
T-Mobile pulled the Android 12 update back into development:
OnePlus 10 Pro 5G: Update to Android 13
Find out about the Android update on the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G.
www.t-mobile.com
I've not read anywhere as to the reason why they pulled it back, but clearly it must have been something significant enough that they suspended the rollout, rather than just fixing it with the next update.
My family also has two N200s, and one of them did the upgrade to 12. My son's is on 12 and has had few issues with his, and nothing significant to my knowledge. i kept delaying the update on mine until finally the update message went away when they pulled the update back, so i'm still on 11 and working just fine.
You could wait until T-Mobile addresses whatever they wanted to fix, and they push the update back out again via OTA (this is the solution i'm going to go with)
Not sure if the OOS12 image for the T-Mobile variant has been available on XDA, but you could check other threads here to see if anyone has it to download and install. you'd need to check whatever instructions are available on whatever thread you find it in to do that.
but, if you are wanting to go through the work of doing an OS install outside of the normal OTA, you may want to just check about the new official LineageOS being available for the N200. (if you want to try LineageOS, you would need to be on 11 to begin with anyway, which is conveniently where you are currently at)

I updated to 12 on my phone and had some issues so I msm'd back to 11 a week or so ago and just this morning got the notification for 12 again but with security updates for july. Perhaps they fixed some things up. Now that I know I can fall back to 11 no problem I will try out 12 again eventually.
I updated to 12 a couple weeks ago, I straight away noticed a problem receiving text msgs. I'd get the notification but when I went into messaging the text were gone. I was thinking about getting the phone replaced but thought to check for an update and Boom, there was an update saying RCS publish fix. I'm hoping I will no longer have the text disappearing. So far it looks fixed. I hope this helps
strange. Tmobile must be in some wonky dual development path hell.
I never completed the update to 12 when it was temporarily giving the messages to update, and it currently is still not giving me any messages about update, and Tmobile website says 12 is still in development. So they must still be working to put out a full 12 package for people to update from 11 to 12 who have never done so.
but if you've already updated to 12, then like duhhhm8, Tmobile is pushing an incremental update?
then there is Deejayadhd, who did update, then downgrated, and is getting the incremental message too? perhaps your device is tagged as having already updated to 12 so it's sending the incremental to you. it will be interesting how that will work. will the system figure out that it needs to send the full package again, or will it try to send the incremental 12 update to install into the current 11 system.
well, wtf.
my phone is just sitting there charging.
i go and doubletap the screen to wake it up, because i hear that i received a notification.
for a fraction of a second it shows the tmobile logo, and goes black/off.
turn it back on, and 12 gets installed and i'm looking at the app optimization %
no prompt to choose whether i wanted to or not, nothing.
just shut itself off and upgraded itself
whelp. bugs or no bugs, i guess i'm getting to see how 12 works out

if you hated 12 (I won't blame you), MSM back to 11 and go in developer options and disable automatic system updates and you should be able to install the april patch. after that, it shouldn't automatically reboot.

well, so far i think i've been ok. no major issues on 12 for me.
i think the one most irritating is the poor gmail/google notifications.
but my previous phone had the problem of the background updater kept getting killed so i would frequently go into accounts and uncheck gmail sync and recheck gmail sync to restart the background process and get my notifications working again.
so i'm already in the habit of regularly checking if gmail sync/notifications are working anyway. just a bummer that it was ok on 11, and now it's borked on 12 and i'm now back to old habits to address
I had absolutely nothing but problems with 12.. I had the original update.. Msm's to 11... Got the new android 12 update... Fixed a lot... But honestly... Didn't work great. I eventually called oneplus' support line to fix the bug about having a snapdragon 855... They said they were putting it on there to do list. So.. Cool. But then... Lineage OS was released for it.. And I was like: by Oxygen OS (Color OS brother/sister at this point). I had one issue with Lineage, but I think it might be device-specific (meaning my individual device). The Lineage OS update is phenomenal! It makes Color OS... I mean Oxygen OS 12, seem slow. Very slow.

in an update it does get android 12. Mine is one android 12 now after an update 2 weeks ago
I ended up downloading the update before it was pulled and have so many regrets. The most crippling issue is a seemingly unfixable bug that causes both wifi and cell signal to cut out at random, which is effecting both me and my other family members with the same phone. I also just generally hate the weird psudeo-ColorOS that i've been using. Sadly an authenticator app I need to use for work would make wiping the thing in the name of the OS downgrade too much of a pain, so I've just decided to order a different phone at this point.
