I'm a bit worried that MT7-L09 isn't on that list though...
This list is only for the Asian market ...
We can expected more information soon
Hi What is the difference between MT7-TL09 and M7-TL10 models? I have M7-TL10 (Europe) version with 3gb ram.

L09 will have in may ..
news on swedish sistes suggest we will get lollipop in may..this was from very reliable sources so...it is getting closer.. in the end of june would be bad.. may is ok..
I hope 5.1 not 5.0.. I think we have not waited all this time to get 5.0.. If they have waited for Lollipop to become "stable" and release with 5.0 anyway they have a very bad excuse..

I doubt we'll get 5.1, but it's whatever at this point. Huawei dropped the ball with their software updates, that puts me off to the point where I'm no longer considering another Huawei phone after this M7. Thank raptor Jesus for AOSP based ROM's!

In my experience with previous phones it has been pretty much the same.
LG G2.. was quite good software support with updates.
However I think this is totally google and android to blame, this is totally braindead how this works..
it must be easier for the manufactures to do software updates and not having to write everything from scratch...
when a new update is comming it should be a lot more easy to adapt it to the new software version..
The software updates is atleast ONE thing I like with apple...
But I doubt I ever buy an apple product though...

It was between LG -g2 and nexus 5 for me... When comparing the hardware the choice was easier.... the software in LG -g2 was very good. Very snappy phone.
Nexus 6 looks like **** too big...
FYI usually when people say its 5.0 or just lollipop without any extra proof or info they rather mean the latest version or that they simply don't know the version.
In the end. If the update sucks you go back to kitkat...

It is expected to come in February, the Lollypop update.

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?
Sorry if this is duplicated question, I searched the forum but found nothing definitive yet.
Is there any information regarding the new official update to Lollipop 5.1 for Moto G 2014? (Preferably the XT1068 version, which is the one I have). I read on news that Moto G 2014 (and other models) were receiving the update because of that security bug, but haven't found any download for the new version so far... (maybe is too recent?)
Thanks in advance. Regards.
No. Motorla seems to do a soak test these days but there is no 5.1.x firmware out.
Thanks for the information!
Could we expect that this test will help us acquire it? I mean, the 5.0.2 for the XT1068 was also a soak test and we got it, right?

I'd say it's 99% certain that we WILL get 5.1.1 ... the only question is when.
My (wild) guess would be this year.
They have only sent out the standard survey-form which they do before every test but afaik they haven't actually started testing yet.
So, depending on when they'll actually start and how well the soak test goes it might be as soon as within 2-3 Months = probably this year.
(Again, just a wild guess and a bit of whishful thinking)
I know about as much as Motorola Support, which is absolutely nothing.

Seems like since the chinese bought motorola a lot has changed there...
Try Titan Prime 1.1.1 with stellar kernel 5.1,fast,stable and good battey stats.
It´s based on stock and my daily driver. But (yes) it´s based on #*+% android 5.0.2 not on.....you know.
maybe because lenovo have bought motorola.
sry for my english
Huh, I'll give it a try! cm12.1 is really buggy for me
Soak tests haven't been started yet, only forms have been filled.
Problem with Android is Google is releasing versions so fast, vendors do not have time to adapt each and every version (plus: why should they? they make no money out of it)
Maybe we will not get Android 5.1 on Moto G 2014 but Android 6.0 when it's released really soon.

They make no money but I think for many people fast updates are an argument to buy a device. And on the other side, if I was a vendor I would be very careful with the release of a brand-new firmware after the disaster with 5.0 and probably better come out with a stable 5.1.1 than a (eventually) buggy 6.0.

How may people do care about updated versions? Very few, really.
App updates? Sure. Give them new a new version of WhatsApp, Facebook, etc. Maybe even an enhanced camera app. But a new firmware? Very few people even know what that is.
So a device with guaranteed updates? Yes, there is a market for that: developers or curious people. And that's why the Google Nexus class of devices exists and sells well.
Yeah,these android nerds...?
What about security? I think that the best way is that the system gets update not depending from the manufacturer, like with the computer. Will be possible in the future of Android?

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

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
don´t know how credible this is and whether it also affects the other H7 versions.

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...
Hello there
If anyone has a new info about mm please share us.
Hey lidor578,
as far as i know:
15.11.2015 ~ Status: Approved ~ Februar 2016
... xx.xx.xx ... ~ Status: Approved ~ March/April 2016
29.02.2016 ~ Status: Approved ~ April 2016
so nothing new ...
Ya I can't wait for the update. My current battery life sucks. Been using one of those battery case. Phone feels like brick now.
This month update will begin distribution. It will be released in April for more countries. I want to share this good news with you.
I dont believe anything Samsung is saying
I just dont know why they cant stick to a date? Help me here?
I have been sitting on the edge of my chair, and the date gets moved, and moved and moved to a new date for the release.
I just read that we might get skipped with M and get N ??
I mainly want better battery life. Mine sucks. And I dont want to lose warranty to root.
I just wish we can have a date for sure

There's a guilty looking person holding a fire extinguisher standing beside a pile of charcoal and foam...
There is the (very) likely possibility that Samsung will release a half-assed update like has happened before... It will be a blend of Lollipop and Marshmallow having certain core features of 6.0 but still being 5.1...
This has happened before, and even though people will argue it should be updated you have to admit the Note Edge is the bastard child that Samsung wishes swept under the rug....
How much support and developement have you seen for it other than token gestures...
Note Edge will NEVER get Android N. Heck it will not even get a bugfree Marshmallow. As someone suggested it will be a half baked product which will break more things than it will actually fix.
I have totally given up in Samsung when it comes to software updates, so should you guys.
update come...
my phone download an 76 MB update today.
after install i cant see any change . android version remain on 5.1.1

Note Edge will NEVER get Android N. Heck it will not even get a bugfree Marshmallow. As someone suggested it will be a half baked product which will break more things than it will actually fix.
I have totally given up in Samsung when it comes to software updates, so should you guys.

hello
I find this information:
http://www.nashvillechatterclass.co...-start-receiving-march-security-updates/3894/
I just received the 80 MB security update on my German unlocked Note Edge. It took about 10 minutes until the phone came back to work (updating Android and Apps etc.). Still Android 5.1.1
arffff
I got that security Update in Germany too!

Same. Updated security patch level to March.
Is it actually a good update for the edge?
Ie will you lose any existing edge specific features by moving to marshmallow. ..

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.

Agreed.
I'm coming from a Oneplus One ,and its great to have dialect between an actual manufacturer and user.

Haven't seen it either, sorry.
I'm sticking with the CM builds right now, which are working great.
I just couldn't get used to MIUI/EMUI.

I left Asus and Samsung because of the bad firmware support and I just hope Honor/Huawei is NOT just following the same way...

Totally agree. I just think its to soon to judge the rollouts yet.
We know that they are working on updates, I hope they continue.
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.

For anyone asking about device variants from other regions, please visit hihonor.com to be directed to your regional site. For example, I see that India has also started their beta for Android M - http://club.hihonor.com/in/topic-971
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.

All OTAs are staged rollouts. They release to more devices each day, and can take up to a week to complete.
The full firmware file is available for anyone to manually install - http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/details/?DOC_ID=78043
