Latest OTA News - Ascend Mate 7 General

We learned from HUAWEI that, in this month, November 2014, there will be a significant OTA, featuring dual Android systems. It is possible that you can keep the original EMUI 3.0 and another customized Android system. Further news to be released by HUAWEI soon.
Note: this feature may only be available for the Chinese MT7-TL10 and MT7-TL00 versions.

Wow, im sure huawei was inspired by lenovo vibe z2 pro's dual system: vibe ui and google stock android.

@getmobilephone Very interesting! Where do you get this info? Can't find anything about this.

Really good news.thank you for sharing!
Looking forward to lollipop also.. I hope in next month
Sorry but why we need 5 different lollipop threads?! Why should getmobilephone know when huawei will release lollipop?
I don't believe that
Lollipop will be available to Mate 7 at March 2015 in the Chinese Market only
International Lollipop will be Available June 2015
It might not be correct, but he is an distributor of Huawei Mate, and probably has connections with Huawei. I'd love it if he's right, if not well what can you do :/
Now it is february, still no leaks or anything regarding lollipop... ?

Why make this "lollipop" buttons when they do not aim to have the real lollipop ?
Mate 8 is just speculation no official confirmations... I want Lollipop now.. my device feel aged without it..
I also hope better performance also and battery life.. if Huwawei will be more popular I think updates are something that they can't ignore.. if there will be no lollipop in the next few months I will not buy a Huawei device again..I demand it..as simple as that..already when I bought it when it was news there was rumours about lollipop in Q1 2015..so I expect it very soon.

You can make your phone lollipop visually only..
Or you need Google phone like nexus if u like fast updates...
Huawei will update to 5.0 BUUT don't expect if will look lolipoppy.. It will STILL look EMUI 3.0..
Imagine 3.0 OFFICIALLY released just NOW in January..
phones are not even 4.4.4 but 4.4.2..

True. The phone already looks Lollipopy with the buttons and material design of emui 3.0 though they should upgrade so we get the full features of lollipop like screen pinning and others

It's to slow to be useful I do not use rh multitasking button cause it's not snappy enough
guys guys guys....the point of getting 4.4.4 or 5.0 is not to get the visual crap but to check how our phone is gonna behave on ART mode...
So do we know we are actually getting the update to lollipop? Enjoying the phone as it is but I think an upgrade will be good.

I hope you carry all these phone at once every day !
I don' t see all this necessity for Lollipop update, also because what e really use in our AM7 are the apks we install,..the menus and the other parts I don' t think we use so often.
Therefore Lollipop or Kitkat shouldn' t change the situation so much, as most of the users are writing.
What could be better, IMHO, should be: battery drain and radio signal stability/sensibility.
This is my opinion only.

Well if you don't see the need for lollipop update they don't update your device when it rolls out. I will update mine though.
It's not just about the apk installation as you call it. If it were, then why aren't you still using froyo or gingerbread? Why did you buy a phone running kitkat?

Will huawei upgrade it to Marshmallow??

Was wondering if Huawei has announced that they will upgrade Honor 7 to marshmallow. I have never used any Huawei device and am interested in Honor 7 so want to know how is Huawei in terms of SW upgrades etc. Does anyone in here has any experience of previous Huawei devices. I am really keen to know this as ROM development and SW upgrades are probably the most important aspects of a device's future.
Yes all Huawei flagships will get updated, while non flaships will get at lesser priority as well..
But they won't release as quick.. Rather depending on stability of the new android itself the update will delay and they will release it timed with release of their next flagship. So somewhere from January 2016 to May 2016.. That said, since Huawei is manufacturing this year's nexus things might be different.
As Warea said, we'll have the update.
I think google is going to surprise us with this new Android version, doing a global release for a lot of devices on Day 1.
Rumor says that Samsung has already the update ready for S6/S6Edge/Note4, .... And LG too. It's possible that this year, Google worked with manufacturers to make a global release for Android M because one of the things that Apple users are proud of is that every iOS device is updated at the same time with the same version. I think Google wants to fix that with Android.
We'll see !
is possible, but i doubt it, because on every android version, huawei must include emui new version, and they're veeeery slow making updates . honor 6 waiting lollipop yet in european version, and android m launches at end of this month...
no news yet on android 6, but the chinese editions of honor 7 are getting android 5.1 beta tests. http://cn.club.vmall.com/thread-4989272-1-1.html

Huawei updates really fast. They should release emui 4.0 marshmallow for honor 7 earliest by 2017 or maybe 2018 around the time they release the lollipop source code for honor 6.

If you look at last year most of phone brands were quick to announce upgrades to lollipop but they delivered only 2nd quarter of this year, while the few who updated quick were left with lollipop bugs.
I'm in no hurry to android 6 because many of the features are already on emui.. So I rather prefer a properly optimized and bug free update, plus significant changes on emui enough to make it feel like an update.
Honor 6
Let's look at the good, the bad and the horrible worst..
The GOOD -
good built up design and hardware
At good price...
Awesome high end specs
Smooth working never lags
Charges superfast..
It's been a year to own a huawei honor 6 and it's still the same as newly purchased.. Quite happy with the product and fully satisfied And I'm upgrading to honor seven.. Just go for it. N its the best available in the market at this stage
The BAD-
-NO SOFTWARE UPDATES needs some improvements in software but no updates provided in India secondly no OTA updates you need to stress yourself to know how exactly to download and install softwares.
-Delayed updates... We hear Google talking about Marshmallow where as lollipop is on the verge and honor devices still running on kitkat.. Yes, lollipop updates were provided to download and install but manually and bro it's time for marshmallow and we here were dying to receive lollipop (stable) yet..
-Indian versions are not provided with the features available to Chinese versions.. Not 64gb storage available no dual Sim available
-Cloud storage available only in China
For honor 7 I guess marshmallow would be available in next year Q1
The horrible WORST -
It's not at all a loyal brand
I can purely tag Huawei as "use and throw" device because,
-WORST customer service support
If anything happens to the device after purchasing it... You just need to dump it in the garbage bin (service centre) without having a hope of recycle and getting it back so just forget the past and look for a new one..
So if you wanna avoid such circumstances you got to handle with care
Else it works great smooth efficient.. User friendly... Great specs and awesome built..
So if you are a person frequently updating your handset go for it.. But if you are a long term user suggest you to go for some good branded devices..
Just my opinion.. And no offence meant.. Sorryyyy
My newsfeed showed me following page.
http://www.themobileindian.com/news...et-Android-6.0-Marshmallow-Update-in-Jan-2016
donĀ“t know how credible this is and whether it also affects the other H7 versions.

No.... I received one update that was for emui 3.0 that's all and I hear lots of people updating their firmware but they do that manually.. And not OTA update so I get stuck as I didn't know how to do such updates manually..
But honor 7.. Marshmallow beta would be available from Jan I suppose..

What I feel is.. It's pointless in waiting for M update because it's skin emui 3.0 takes it all over the material design and I feel emui is awesome if they keep updating emui..
The lollipop update in honor 6 didn't have much change as the design would remain emui..

Sorry sir It may be nonsense for people having technical knowledge
And I'm sorry but I forgot to mention earlier that all the firmware updates were never officially by Huawei for "h60 L04" model (Indian variant) if you check out the official website of honor India there are no updates but when you check updates for Chinese model then you will find many software updates on their official site for honor 6 but none of them would end with model "h60 L04"
So on that part I told that there are no updates
Honor confirmed on twitter that the Honor 7 will be updated to 6.0 in Q1 2016.
Date not confirmed for the 6+.

I've put my name down (via Honor's PR agency), and once you give your IMEI you'll be sent an OTA update automatically once it's ready. I'll let you all know the progress, but believe there will be a requirement NOT to share the code with others so please don't ask me to extract the files and release the ROM.
Of course, I'm sure someone will...

Marshmallow is out! Huawei - goodbye!

Just got Marshmallow on nexus 5. My friend. Not me.
There is nothing to do here! It was a big mistake buy honor 6 and wait for actual firmware. Sure nexus from Huawei will follow H6. Huawei - one of the best hardware manufacturer, but phones - no!
Goodbye Huawei!
Guys you are the best. See ya in other threads!
What the hell? Huawei announced we will get Marshmallow in Q1 2016. We just got 5.1 which is already very new.

Why open a post to talk nonsense?
Why comparisons Huawei with Google nexus?
At least you know the difference between Lollipop and marshmallow?
Small changes on some apps and introduced a menu level security patch
Nothing revolutionary than Lollipop
The problem of the brand Honor by Huawei is Linux kernel which is open source and is also protected by the GNU General Public License, version 2. Technically, it implies that any chipset vendor/OEM who makes use of android falls under these laws and has no choice but to comply with them and release the source code to the public in accordance.
That's why not buy more Huawei or Honor, not for Marshmallow that no one has yet
PS - Some my friends more than a year ago have paid 600 EUR for a Note 3 and still are stuck in Lollipop 5.0.2!

How about updating your european devices as well, or is it just a fact what i'm assuming, that being that Honor doesn't give jack-**** about Europe?
I don't think you can fault Honor for trying to fight there way into the western market. There competing against big-boy established companys.
Anyways the updates aren't much of anything, if they don't update to marshmallow with all the other varients, I could see being disappointed

Seeing the way they're handling updates so far for this device, I have my doubts if Europe or anyone else is going to get Marshmallow any time soon... Also I don't care who they have to fight against, if you can't keep up, don't step up, it's that simple.

I don't know the numbers...... But did they sell 1 phone in Europe and 10 million in the US? I know that sounds extreme, but makes good business sense to support the majority.
We don't know what the software team at honor is anyway, could be one person handling variants and a whole team handling the states.
The phone has only been released for a short time and we know they are working on updates, so they haven't ditched the development.
Just saying be patient because you haven't had a update "NOW"
We have a working CM ROM anyways, why would you want to use stock?

I don't WANT to use stock, but it would be nice to receive other updates like bootloaders etc. before I make the switch to CM13. Seeing as that is unlikely though, i'll switch before the Weekend is over.

Totally agree. I just think its to soon to judge the rollouts yet.

Other than bands and languages, isn't software the same? ROMs for L24 with B140, work on L21 and L22. However, the US version only comes with 2GB RAM, whereas other variants come with 3GB from what I've heard.

I have no received any update yet to 151. Wonder whats taking so long.
The updates are merely security updates. They are being pushed by regions. There is little to no change in the UI between 140 and 151, but there is some more bloat. Additional apps like Kindle and Amazon, which you may or may not want.

Honor 8 getting Android P (9.0)?

According to this article, it showed a list of phones that are going to be updated to Android P (9.0). Starting with Google, Sony, and Samsung's phones, you could see that under Huawei the Honor 8 is listed there. Not sure if it is true/official but I just thought I'd share it here for you guys to see for yourselves: https://droidshock.com/list-devices-will-get-android-9-0-update/
We were listed twice! It's bound to happen now.

What's this website's source? I really doubt we'll get P since Honor was kinda unsure about updating to Oreo to begin with.
Ahahahahahaha what? We're still unsure about Oreo how could this site think about Android P? This will never happen. If Honor release Android 8.1 will be the last major update for our device...on the other side, with treble support we could upgrade by custom roms =)

Well it says developer preview so I'm assuming maybe they got it from Google? I'm honestly not 100% sure as I was scrolling through G+ and saw this article
Honor 7 didnt even get Nougat, this list makes no sense.
We'll get Android versions till the end of time. Jesus. We have not even got Oreo yet.

Well at least Oreo is official, so we do have that. Treble support is definitely a plus especially for Honor 8.

No it's not official ?
Huawei said they'd give us EMUI 8.0. This could also be based on Nougat while incorporating all the new features present in EMUI 8.0
Like what Xiaomi does to their older devices.
Pray for Oreo, treble will do this device good.

It is official. Multiple Honor sources have confirmed it.

All of them have confirmed EMUI 8.0, not Oreo. Honor India had released a statement saying the phone wouldn't be getting Oreo. I do hope this turns out to be false and we actually get Oreo though.

Yeah I just hope we do get treble support. We need ROM's for this device and it's unfortunate there aren't many since this phone has plenty of power.
it`s 99% fake. Probably this is list of phones updating to 8.0. There is no new devices such as p20, p20 pro e.t.c.

I didn't read the article but there sure is a Huawei P20 & P20 Pro.
No, H8 will not get Android P, no way.

Uhhh, yes it does. Huawei's initial said that they were developing a customized EMUI for the 8's and it would be named EMUI 8 to keep the version numbers consistent across devices. Whether they've decided to change those plans no one knows because not one person has quoted any report that is from a reliable source and I'm not talking about those script readers in customer service.
