Good evening guys and girls,
Had a surprise visit from a Samsung UK field rep today, who when asked about 2.3.4, he said his Galaxy S2 already running a build and had been for 3 weeks, he said it was nice and stable, didn't get chance to nab a photo but he said it was supposed to start rolling out from around the 10th of June to XEU handsets in the UK.
His handset was KE6 and KE9
Crossing my fingers big time.
Hope it will fix battery drain.
That would be nice.
This is exciting to hear. Thanks for sharing. Always look forward to a new firmware as it can sometimes fix little issues here and there
This actually confirms what I got told my a SammySon engineer and also what balenax has posted on here.
this is great news, will developers of the popular roms need to start from scratch?
What are the news/addition of android 2.3.4?
Just my luck as I'll be out of town till the 13th so no pc access to update :|
Sounds good, coming from an iPhone I still don't know what the OS updates for androids look like yet

they change from manufacturer to manufacturer, not very much tied to android, so your experience could vary between samsung, htc, motorola, google itself, etc

His was a development build so anything can change.
Also I don't suffer from the yellow tinge that was mentioned above so didn't ask. Sorry.
really hope we get 2.3.4 soon, this battery life sucks.
if we are using a UK version in the U.S do you think we will get the ota update or will we have to wait until someone posts it on the forum?
I hope it will stop the battery drain and the smartphone heat (sometimes)!
Do you think we will have to reset the phone or are we able to flashing over existing KE7(currently installed)?
I contacted getmobilephone via his website, and he has shared some information with me, regarding Mate 7 update.
It is expected to come in February, the Lollypop update.
Hope it will happen then, really want stable Lollypop.

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.

Jesus ..
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?

Can the C567 Oreo could install with Firmware finder, I tried all of them, they are not approved to be installed. I don't want to unlock my phone, it is not safe.
"already released" yeah, officially everywhere BUT the USA version.
I think Huawei is just going to cut their losses that the US government pressured AT&T to bail.
Oh well... Huawei's loss, & if they do, the Mate 9 will be the LAST of the 3 Huawei phones I will buy. No support/updates without having to jack around with it, I'm done.
No approved update

There isn't any "approved" update yet, it seems that the us version will probably be the last to get it if at all.

It's their loss, without any support or updates they will kill any possibility of breaking into the us market, this is my last Huawei phone as well.

same here..coming from samsung and I thought they were bad with updates. You can see on their facebook page people are asking about the update but all they say is wait for it for the last few months and yet they keep on saying they are committed to providing U.S. customers with best possible products and experiences.
It also makes no sense because the Oreo update that's on firmware finder (360) is fantastic. I've been using it since Friday and so far not a single bug or hiccup. My battery life is also better than on Nougat. I haven't even bothered with root this time. I'm on track for 9 hours of SOT on this charge without any special tricks or constantly managing location services and syncing (previously I would get 7.5 hours but I was disabling services and turning off location when not in use). They did a great job with the update. Release it already!

Well afaik huawei isnt the best company on updates.. Been in huawei quad xl before and i thought they already changed but i guess i was wrong. Sad.
This is my first Huawei. Previously mostly had LG phones. The way LG did it was they just stopped supporting the phones seemingly at random, or whenever they determined it wasn't worth the effort. Usually leaving a few large bugs in the last release (such as a terrible battery drain in the last Marshmallow release for the G4, with no way to downgrade). That makes some business sense I guess (not using the resources). In this case, Huawei already developed the update. In fact, there are two version of Oreo for US Mate 9s on Firmware Finder. They've already spent the money. Well, hopefully they'll make it official soon and they're just ironing out some bugs.

I hope so because their not so old phones wont just get updates before
Guys am new to Huawei device so how do i update my mate 9 (L29C185) to oreo. System updater shows my phone is up to date.
Should I update using Firmware Finder (FF)?, if i update to oreo using FF is there any problem? Or should i wait till i get OTA? Please hlp...
i guess the reason Huawei make US market the last one for the rom update , was want to make sure there is no bugs when the time to do the OTA for US market which is a major one for Huawei. so i am also waiting for OTA
Guess they are holding off "officially" until after the U.S. release of the Mate 10?

I decided to rebrand to C432 and get the oreo update, I am tired of waiting, the cell phone has 1-2 years lifetime, I don't want to waste my life to stay with buggy EMUI 5.0 . EMUI 5.0 US B190 has a lot of bugs, and the security pack is April 2017, and the battery can rarely last for a whole day. Rebrand to C432 and enjoy smooth and battery-saving system.

I don't understand this, I never had any battery problems when I was with Nougat, majority of the users on Nougat are satisfied with the battery life, yes there's some bugs on EMUI 5.0 but not enough to cause any major issues, are you sure you didn't do all the steps like back tracking on what apps were installed and etc.?
I only upgraded to Oreo for the security patch and for curiosity reasons, been having a good device experience so far
Stock mate9 here. I'm getting 7-9 hours sot. It is the best phone I've ever owned as far as battery goes. I just can't kill this thing in a day. I YouTube, game, hotspot, social, maps, and everything else.

When it was on EMUI 5, the android system consumed most of the power, after rebrand and upgrade to emui 8, battery and everything is amazing!
Finally got the official update on my US unlocked Mate 9 a little bit ago! Hopefully everyone else that has been chomping at the bit to get it and didn't want to use FirmwareFinder, etc. will see it soon
Got my update at 9am this morning, performance is definitely a lot better
Googling about this topic, I can see expected release dates for U11 and U10, but not for U ultra... when the h*ll are they planning to deploy the OTAs? It's been seven months since Oreo went GA... the 2014 Nexus 6 I left behind two months ago, had a newer android version on it (7.0.1)... okay, it was a Nexus, but a 2014 one...
Cheers.
They said until the end of the month... We'll be waiting for another week at least...
Same Sh1t...Different Day.
Still waiting. End of February was muted about. So will have to be patient, normal for HTC software updates.??

the updates are from feb not march and there still updates for android 7 the new updates will be for 8 soon they are completely different
i have sent a tweet but no reply cause they cant tell the truth at all
Already update
Android 8.0 Oreo update (v2.19.400.1) arrived today, at least on my Indian variant: not bad for a just purchased 250€ device
theres still no news on google about it or anywhere i look so its very ush ush
nice, finally. hope it won't take too long to spread to other markets.
can anyone provide a screenshot of the changelog?
which security patch level is it?
i know, the chances are minimal, but maybe someone could check treble support? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kevintresuelo.treble
thanks!
Screenshot or it never happened.
lots of people on the htc u ultra group on facebook have screenshots https://www.facebook.com/groups/1180454748729142/?fref=nf
https : // drive.google.com/open?id=15uwV73Dy9M4Ac5TTNQ0WpEB76_qj11Bx
Here's the screenshot. No support for Treble unfortunately New icons are quite ugly, but system is snappier and there are more settings in menu.
Good news. LEts hope that it will spread in europe soon also.
Me too, my htc u ultra has been updated to oreo today

You might have to reflash the stock recovery.
I have also gotten the update
So, does anyone have any news on when we'll be getting the update? Sony's website says, for the XA1 Ultra, that it's coming soon; that's it. Apart from that, I've had that the update was supposed to possibly roll out in January/February - but, it's now, March 1. I haven't even received last month's security update yet.
Hi
I've Xperia XA1.
Somebody says it will roll out with Android 8.1 in April for both (ultra and normal), but nothing is sure. (Sadly) we've only to wait...
The only thing I hope is to have all the features there are on other Xperias, like XZ (so better camera app and performance and battery improvements), not only a new UI.

Myself included, Faby, but if you look in the Questions/Answers section I have posted an issue with my phone. I hope it's a software issue only and that it'll be fixed with Android 8.0 or 8.1. I can't stand having horrible charging problems and a weird phone boot sequence.

Great (and official!) News! Thanks!
It's released today.
Just received and installed the 8.0 update on my G3223. Looks good so far, no issues I've noticed but I'm pretty tired and haven't really poked around in it much.
I do like the Oreo home nav circle icon better . :cyclops:
