I'm due for an upgrade on my contract and am considering the Mate 20 Pro, how are Huawei for updates, I have a Samsung S8 that still hasn't received Pie yet. Do they release the monthly security patch? Are there any issues?
Huawei are on the slow side with updates and nearly non-existent after 6 months of device cycle, Pie for Samsung S8 is released you can flash via odin or wait for OTA for your region/carrier

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.
I just noticed Samsung released the August security patch for the S6 edge and the note 5.. what's going on with the S9 plus ? I've received 2 software updates since it's launch and I'm sitting on the June security patch.. any answers to why it seems like Samsung is abandoning the S9 line ?

Rumor is it's a quarterly release schedule.
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.
My S23 Ultra (European EUX OXM) hasn't been updated with the February 2023 Security Patch Level. I'm on S918BXXU1AWA6.
Though, I recently updated my S21 Ultra (AUT) and strangely it's more updated than my S23 Ultra .
2023-02-15 | 12:30 (CET)
EDIT: Added a poll in order see when the February Patch will be released.
No. You're not the only one
Sane for me too and my wife's 23+
they probably will releases an update before/on the official launch day (Friday 17th)

I think you do not know, but there is quite major difference between google play and security patch.
Yeah I think it'll be tomorrow ah about 9ish, that's what happened last year anyway
Anyway, incredible that this device is so good with pre release firmware.
Imagine if with time they will further improve camera and battery life

You are right, my mistake
Samsung is a lot better with updates. The only reason you wouldn't get an update on time is if there's a bad bug that requires fixing and the update got pulled. Also South Korea obviously gets updates first followed by Europe. USA gets updates anywhere from 3-5 days to 1-2 weeks after Europe does. From my experience on previous Galaxy's it was always about 1 week after updates went out in Europe for my USA Galaxy to get updated.

I wish I could agree, but where I am, the security updates have been sporadic at best, last one in S21ULTRA was the January sec patch delivered February 21. More often than not in 2022 two security updates were delivered at the same time, almost 3 months later than the Pixel.
Oh I was confused glad I'm not the only one.

where are you from? I guess it also depends on your country since there may be special circumstances, specific carriers or government approval, ect. that is delaying your update since once Samsung sends out updates in S. Korea their should be no reason why you are not getting the update unless your country or your specific carrier is holding it back. It used to be really bad here in the USA but the last 3 years I have seen a huge improvement in the update schedule for Samsung devices.
my s23 ultra security patch Jan 2023.
Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G security patch Feb 2023.
no day one patch so far with the security patch for february
I think they decided the phone is perfect already, **** the updates
Yeah, just checked for new OTA software updates.
Also checked on Sammobile Firmware.
No luck
