What are the battery bugs from November?
I just had a new battery put in and when I got the phone back I updated to November and latest los and the battery seems like it wasn't even changed. I actually thought they ripped me off.

I think it came now to an end. I dont see a january 2019 update for the 6p like i see for all other devices.
And yes, there is no firmware bug with a battery. If your battery is broken, then get for 10 bucks a new one and put it into your phone.

No more updates?

So, today I realized that the last update I had gotten was the July update, and that my watch hasn't had any security updates since. Is this the official EOL?
I understand we'll never get Wear 2.0, but what about monthly security updates? Other watches still get em, so why stop now?
Well I guess I stand corrected... After almost 4 months of no updates, the November update landed here. I guess LG/Google hasn't completely abandoned us yet...

LG is quite nice to be updating the security update for the device.

Take a look at this, they are providing security update to a 3 years old device although they are not updating it to latest firmware

BLA-L29 Pie Update

I called Huawei today to see when Android 9 is going to hit some more regions. They said it might take 3 months because my phone is from Singapore.(sounded like he didn't know). That can't be right.

In the scheme of smartphone updates, if you gotta have the "latest and greatest" OS on your phone (not counting security patches),
you'll have to get either:
Apple iPhone, Google Pixel, Oppo OnePlus, Essential, or a couple other phones.
Most Android phone manufacturers, don't bother with updates, for a few reasons. One, they don't want to spend the resources
to make sure the new OS works with their goofy UI/bloat garbage, and older hardware. Two, it's been easier to talk people into just tossing them in the trash and buying a new one.
My phone (huawei mate9),works PERFECTLY on Oreo, has been getting the monthly security patches about 30 days late.
Would I like to have Pie? Yes. Will my life be impacted if it doesn't happen? NO.
IF, (and it's a big if), Google's Treble works out, phones SHIPPED/Released with Oreo or later, will have "major" updates and patches done by google, and the UI/bloat done by the carrier or manufacturer.
It would be nice to have gestures without a 3rd party launcher... also additional battery savings. I know the phone is already phenomenal on the battery , but we could all use more juice. Screen rotation is also going to be more to my liking with Pie.
I will post when I see the update.

Imo nightly battery drain is horrendous. Phone idle, Mobile standby and Huawei home uses too much during the night.

Looks like users are recieving Androit 10 OTA update in RETBR update channel. Build nr QPK30.51.

My Motorola one (RETBR) is active in mfn and not receive Android 10 update, yesterday received december patch of Android Pie.
Same here. I am in the retbr channel but didn't receive the Android 10 update, only the December Security Patch.
Ok, I guess we can say for sure that it's a beta rollout then.
Still nice to know that it's in testing.
do you have pictures of the beta?

Good question. Beta program have been going on for quite some time now.
I wonder what's taking so long for Moto..
they just sent me another 9 security patch, I'm starting to think there will be no android 10 update for us.
Yup, just a security patch. I recently bought this phone in a hurry, and in my previous investigation I read somewhere the Motorola One would receive Android 10 at the second quarter of 2020, so I guess we'll have to wait. The Motorola Brazil reps said in Twitter there will be news for our device "pretty soon", but I guess that's just their standard answer.

Can/Should I still upgrade to Lineage 14.1 Nightly?

I'm currently using Android 5.1 and I'm thinking about upgrading to Lineage 14.1 Nightly but officially it looks like it's not available anymore: https://download.lineageos.org/mt2
I see I can still download the ROM from other websites, like here: https://android.cmphys.com/lineageos-mt2/
Is it advisable to upgrade, or should I stick with 5.1?
I feel like Im the last one at the party. Does anyone else still use the HAM2?

It was until around June. Then it started getting mad glitchy. I did end up flashing it to Lineage but then there were other problems. Battery life was still solid though. But in any case I had to trade it in for a 5g phone because my carrier wasn't going to support it any more starting in July. Anyways, it was a damn good phone that lasted me 7+ years. RIP Hami.

Question S23 ultra update or not

i bought s23 ultra . im on stock rom didnt update nothing yet . should i update system or not . Because usually when update system phone getting more worse battery life and peoples say right now april update drain battery . Will i miss something if i dont update phone ? Honestly i want update for better camera . Maybe there is way update camera only or what should i do
Definitely update, not battery drain or anything. They fixed important camera ''bugs''. However, some phones need some time (couple of days) after some updates to settle and learn usage to optimize the battery.
I would wait. Last thing you want is worse SOT. The cam update is part of the firmware.
I would say, update. I haven't noticed any worse battery life. The camera updates and security patches are well worth updating.

That is apple. You cannot think android devices are same just because apple slows down their devices on purpose after each update.

So maybe after updates worth make factory reset to comparasion.
I was skeptical from years but in example in my fold 2 from OneUi 3.1.1 after supdate via ota to 5.1 running faster without reset. Overall daylight use performance similar to S23U when I comapre side by side this devices.
But this case don't change my mind about updates and I want stay my S23U on the latest A13 more time after sharing A14 or maybe even A15.
Samsung will eventually force update no matter what. Might as well get it done and over with.
I still have s10+ as i give it to my son... Phone after all those OTA over the years is as fast as it was new and no issue with SoT, in fact sot is comparable to my 23 ultra... Maybe 1 h less... Still crazy good photos, everything works... I think all that updates issue is placebo and some legends who knows form where they come from...
