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
don´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..

Except the ota for the honor 6 & 6+ went out already. So again, saying it had no updates is nonsense.

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+.

PLK-XX is Honor 7 where XX stands for different regional versions. It's the same with P8, the EU version (L01) is not on the list, probably because this list is not intended for European readers!

Marshmallow Will arrive in january 2016.

Yep, I was at the same event. Beta test coming within the next month and is likely to be run through local forums so Honor can obtain feedback.

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...

Asus really doesn't know when the marshmallow update is coming.

Asus rep is saying on reddit that they failed to keep the promise https://www.reddit.com/r/zenfone2/comments/4pmnxe/zenfone_selfie_marshmallow/d4rvvsf

Khang gone to Nextbit. Good for him.

Alright. Enough waiting.

2day ago.. Asus france twitter said release this week. and today reddit asus employee say delay..
srsly asus?? so confuse...

yesterday I talked with Asus Support Spain, and they told me the OTA update is already deployed...
But I do not think so.... I guess that was the plan, but they had to abort it

I'd rather have an upgrade that works than a buggy one released on time. I don't know how you can put a date on development like that anyhow.

Wtf dude any other flagship/older flagships from any other company got marshmallow, i dont care why it's delayed but it's their fault for sure. "How can I put a date?!?" Simply, we had cm 13 for months without source, they had source and still failed, and from bet I don't see anything new besides new android version. Upgrading from one version to another stopped being a problem for OEMs long time ago, now they are just ******* whit us. No new interface, no new camera, nothing, I mean where did they spent all this month's?

Got it for my Galaxy S5 3 weeks ago. Also got it on my brothers LG G3 2 weeks ago. I don't mind waiting until it is tested and out of Beta. Running Beta MM on my ZE551 ML, so I am content right now. Patience is a virtue.

So, it's 1st July already and Q2 is officially over. No update anywhere to be seen and this shows that Asus has failed. How's that? Well, they promised that they will release it at the end of Q2 and they have to brake the promise. That shows that we can't trust anything in Asus anymore. Of course, they shouldn't have made that promise if they know that they would have needed more time for the development. But it looks like that Asus itself don't even know when they are going to release it. To all the fanboys/fangirls here, you can defend Asus as much as you want, but you need to realise that not everything is perfect with Asus' mobile section. And you should also accept critics even though I know you hate to read or see it. You are the consumer and you have your rights too. Don't let Asus play with you around and tell them that you can not accept this kind of behaviour. Fanboy-ish behaviour is annoying and not helpful at all. You cannot ignore mistakes forever and pretend that nothing has happened.
We should remind ourselves that Asus has called the ZF2 a flagship device in 2015, and not just some midrange device that are for beginners. Now, look, the official software as of today is 5.0. Pretty much just one version above Android KitKat which is see by the Android community as an outdated operating system. Ok, Asus did some security patches in between which is a fine thing, but why would they refuse to update to let's say 5.1.1 at least, which is Android Lollipops major bugfix by Google. So, basically, Asus tried to fix the problems itself instead of taking over the patch from Google. The ZF2 is an Android device, and not only Asus should tinker around with the software, pretending the OS as only their work. Now, many older flagships has reached ar least 5.1.1 for sure (exept maybe carrier controlled phones, but that's another problem) and the Zenfone 2 is still nowhere near more up-to-date software. Perhaps Asus is just too busy playing around with their own user interface and launcher, not caring enough about the base Android version. Even more surprising is that it looks like that a MM update will bring not much new. The only positive thing I could see is that that they start debloating the firmware. But, as some kind of some bad joke, they throw in some kind of Dr. Whatever bull**** anti virus app which an Android operating system doesn't need at all.
Here we are, the beta has rolled out, the official release has been delayed and people here are still being too optimistic, or more likely, being delusional thinking that everything is OK and normal. A company can only improve their strategy when they see their own mistakes. If we don't tell them that something isn't right, they will just go on doing the same mistakes like now. Remember, a company needs consumers, that means our words ate very important and can have some effect on things.
Asus, you're going into the wrong direction.

OK, my problem is not really that you are complaining. It's that you are complaining HERE. This is a developers forum not an Asus forum. If you want to tell them your grievances go to asus talk and do it there. Doing it here just makes you sound like a whiner, because there's nothing XDA or any of us can do about it.

Well, that's strange if you say that. Because this thread has also nothing much to do with development in its sense. Nobody can do much about the delay. And I didn't expect help from anybody, why do you think so? Aren't we discussing here?

Feel like just wastingtime around here and zentalk for officialMM from asus.

Asus missed the Q2 deadline for the ZE55xML's. Not the end of the world. Verizon customers wait way longer for updates if they even get any.
My backup phone, a ZE551KL, got MM this morning. Nothing special other than it setting a crap load of stuff back to default settings.

What I expect from ASUs in MM is
Better Battery Life and Power management...
Better Ram management...
Nothing more

Yes but they also give a timeline, if i multi millionaire company can't keep it up i don't think they are even worth it. Also OEM =/= verizon

Wow, this is the second time that the manufacturer of my phone promises an update, than backs out of their promise.
First it was with Samsung Note 2 and the Lollipop update, when Samsung teased us for over six months with hints and suggestions that Note 2 will be updated to L, then I got fed up with them when instead of the L update, they released another 4.4.2 version, which made the N2 slow to the point of borderline unusable, and told that N2 isn't going to be updated to L (although there are still some poor souls in Samsung N2 section, that are searching for hints about the update on various Samsung twitter accounts), and switched to Zenfone 2.
Now it's the same story all over again with ASUS. I think that the only way to get M for me is to wait until my warranty's over, root my phone, and continue my Search For The Incredible with a custom AOSP rom.

Any news on when we getting Oreo?

What the tittle says

Yes there is, we'll get it in 2 months period.

Any ideas why so long? Sony already got it and they are skinned as well as others are close behind like Samsung with their beta tests and htc why is this one taking so long to push since it is almost pure?

Sony have a much bigger dev team, plus sony has a large community of devs and testers that work for free since they release all their code to open source.

But is this not like the purest of Android ... On paper it should be just plug test and play for the A1?

In principle, yes. But I going by the apparent fact that Google isn't in charge of software but xiaomi is, my guess is that is the reason why there is no oreo yet...

I presume. I've heard good things for this company let's see how this phone will hold up to what people say

I think that the Andorid One topic is quite new for them (too) and they just have to collect their experience first so I'm pretty sure for the following updates they will get more and more routine so this is just the beginning....

With Android One, doesn't Google control the OS updates like in Pixel. We get security fixes along with Pixel

Android one suppose to be the first device after pixel and nexus to get Oreo.
Devices are getting beta version or something of Oreo.
And we are just waiting ,
Don't want to rush anything but atleast a official comment on the Oreo for android one would be grate...

They says by the end of this year,its mean December,calm down

I have a friend working in Mi China and he says their Target is indeed for December 2017. So let's just all chill out till then.

From what I guess Google isn't really controlling the updates of mi a1. STOCK android doesn't support capacitive nav bars and a IR sensor too. Moreover there are dual cameras on this phone. So mi has to so tweaks to accommodate all this. That's why it must be taking some time.

There is nothing like this. Android one is a program which ensures every updates not faster updates. So keep calm. They will release it by 31st Dec.
The update chain is not that what u r thinking right now.
Google - Processor manufacturers - OEMs - Beta testers - OEM - Public Release.

As far as what I've seen and heard on mi community discussions some guy had posted a pic of his discussion with one of the representatives from Xiaomi. It said that they werent sure on when they are going to release the update as they haven't finalized the date yet. They said that it could be in late january 2018

If a random representative said that, must be true

I would give them 2-3 days more before I start having my doubts . They've said by end of December ..so no point rushing unless . Just hope there aren't any major bugs in the beta

The problem is the heavily doctored version of android that Xiaomi have included with this device and the inbuilt spyware.
Still no Oreo
Still no Kernel.
Not pure/stock Android.
THE TIME FOR ACTION IS NOW. - we should not stand for this any longer.

Looking to buy this device, can you tell me the spyware you have come across.

So someone asked on Twitter about Oreo update and Xiaomi says "Its coming really soon!"

Welp, no Oreo update.

Kinda regret getting this phone after only 7 months of owning it...

We will see...

Yep, another big costly Chinese tibit.

*warcry scream*

1. I doubt these reps have any more of a clue about the O update for the H8 than you do. If you communicate with enough of them, I am sure one of them will give you the answer you're looking for.
2. What's the fascination with the O update anyway? Functionally, what do you want to do that O will help you with (that N and M do not)?
3. If you use the H8 as a daily driver, the need to experiment with the latest and greatest is diminished. Haven't you read the numerous posts complaining about compatibility with N, much less O? As an example, it took ages for Xposed to work with N. Many here would prefer full compatibility with Xposed vs. an O update with limited or no Xposed support.
4. There are many other threads talking about O being promised -- or not -- for the H8. Why can't posters just update one thread with their latest updates from (mostly clueless) reps?

3. If you use the H8 as a daily driver, the need to experiment with the latest and greatest is diminished. Haven't you read the numerous posts complaining about compatibility with N, much less O? As an example, it took ages for Xposed to work with N. Many here would prefer full compatibility with Xposed vs. an O update with limited or no Xposed support.
4. There are many other threads talking about O being promised -- or not -- for the H8. Why can't posters just update one thread with their latest updates from (mostly clueless) reps?

It's not that I'm fascinated with the O update, I just feel a bit cheated because they promised 2 years of updates right? Buying a phone (with great specs) that becomes outdated in a couple of months kinda stings. And for xposed... I'm not too into that anymore especially with stability/diversity rom issues with this device; I gave roms try for a while but the loss of some functionality and higher charging temps made me uneasy

Btw Honor 8 is being updated regularly every 3 months. We received the B394 on September and the B398 is already being released. Updated don't mean only Major updated

Imho we're only talking about official upgrades, no root or xposed, so we don't really care about xposed : if you use xposed, you have rooted your phone, so you willingly excluded yourself from official upgrades.
I think a lot of us understood that 2 years updates meant 2 major android upgrades, which is not what happens, we only get very minor updates every few months.
Imho a real serious way of handling updates would be to release one with every google security patch, with no new feature and only bug fixing, security first.
And then state something about the major android upgrades, but these 2 should be separated.
But I'm dreaming in a non commercial world
And if you add a so-called partnership with XDA developers, and no real full source has been released, yes this is very disappointing.

Unfortunately Huawei is terrible with updating their previous devices. They're in it for a quick buck and move onto the next new one. All you can do is vote with your money next time and buy a Google pixel if you want updates, or an iPhone. I wouldn't expect more than 1 major os upgrade for any Huawei devices.

I want KRACK patched. If it's not patched in the next month I'm selling my phone for an iPhone.
Apple has better security than Android.

I second that. KRACK (hell, even Blueborne) is unpatched on our phones. I understand that we get "regular" updates, but seriously, an out-of-band update when serious vulnerabilities occur is not much to ask.
Not everybody can afford an iPhone, but for sure, if Huawei/Honor don't get their act together, this will be the first and the last of their devices that I will ever buy.

Yes, but so much advertising around XDA partnership and honor 8 beeing their new "long live" model made a lot of us buy it even if they had such reputation.
iPhone ? Never ever ! This is the opposite problem, they push too much major upgrades so your phone becomes a low performance phone.
I have an ipad2 for music creation, I recovered good performance when I rolled back from verrrrry laggggggy iOS 9 to iOS 6.

From the previous update patterns.. if your model has launched with (MM) you will get the next one(N). If your model has launched with (N), then you will get the Oreo. Period..

It depends.
Honor promised either 12 or 24 months of Major Android Updates. Honor has delivered in the past like my Honor 4C got two major Android updates Lollipop and Marshmallow. I believe we should get Oreo since it is extremely healthy for the development community. If Honor delivers Oreo with Treble Support, there's a high chance of getting a fully functional bulges custom ROMs for the device.

From my previous experiences with Huawei devices i noticed that they only receive 1 major update during their lifetime. Even flagships. That was true with Ascend P7 (4.2.2.-->5.1.1), P8 (5.1.1-->6.0) and now the same with Honor 8. Huawei does not even bother with intermediate OS updates like 7.0.2 and 7.1.1
It was released with 6.0, now it has 7.0, so ... that's it.

Well, the Honor 6X was released only two months after the 8 with 6.0 too and it has Oreo planned. It doesn't make sense for Honor to ditch 8 for 6X. Let's wait and see.

Those are not official. Someone in these forums got replied to an email that Honor 8 will get a closed beta for it soon. That person is not official Honor and is therefore fake.

Yup the xda partnerships that honor/Huawei touts everytime ar sooooooooooooooooo fake its laughable.

The customer support is now saying that even the Honor 6X isn't going to recieve the Oreo update.
She did mention that despite it hasn't been announced we shouldn't lose hope since it still isn't CONFIRMED. She also mentioned that we will continue recieving security patches which honestly is more that enough for me......
I've tried Oreo on my Nexus 5X and if anything it made the device slower and doesn't have any new changes or features apart from the password filling in apps or the updated Bluetooth codec.

Oxygen OS updates

When I was considering buying a Oneplus 1+8 pro I was being told by YT influencers and media that if you like clean and good OS with frequent updates and longterm support that Oneplus is the way to go.
It has now been over 4 months since last update and AFAIK nothing is happening on that matter.
We have OB2 which is nowhere near being ready for daily driver. Even when it is released as stable I bet it will be even worse as what the current 10 is.
We have updates coming out for the 7 and Nord series but nothing for the 8.
If somebody wants to claim that there is nothing to update I will call them idiots. This OS is nowhere near to the level of the OSs I had on my previous Samsung and Apple phones. There are all sorts of issues which are not being addresed by Oneplus.
Am I the only one having a problem with that fact?

There are monthly updates, we have to wait for android 11 like everyone else.
Use Oxygen updater or look here: https://www.androidauthority.com/oneplus-8-pro-update-1108368/

1st - OB2 is like 3 weeks old, not 4 months. Hope you don't expect Stable A11 days after Pixels.
2nd - if you believe YT influencers, then I wish you good luck.
3rd - security updates are spot on.
4th - I use OB2 since the release day and have no complains. Eventually high battery use of Google Play Store app. Nothing crazy.

]1st - I was referring to stable A10. Latest update was released Aug 15, 2020. So not 4 months but 2. Still long time ago.
2nd -I cannot establish my own opinion since I have no chance to see these phones in person before purchase. Also this is nowadays normal and best way to buy stuff.
3rd - No they are not. The latest stable version is on August security patch. We are now in the middle of October. Even Samsung is pushing that as we speak.
4th - I use my phone for work so no I will not run beta SW on it.

Samsung are better with security updates, but oneplus will get android 11 first

No complaints with 8 Pro updates this year...

First off. Don't listen to YouTubers, and influencers, I think I would poke someone in the eye of they told me that's what they did for a job..
OnePlus absolutely smashes the other OEM's in regards to updates, Huawei, old HTC, Sammy, LG, Sony, sorry but none of them come close .
Pixel? Sure that's the source, but the shortcomings Vs pixel on the OnePlus, it makes up for with a bigger battery and IMHO a better Dev community and a course matched beta program.
You can't go wrong with OnePlus tbh.

Based on this report your claims have no foundations to stand on. Oneplus released 12 updates since the phone launched but most of them were minor updates and fixed nothing. Only one major update. I would not classify that in the "smashing other OEMs" category.

12 updates in 6 months is pretty good stats. Small or not. I have had all other brands and came back to OnePlus (I had the 6T as well). Even stock, it is a great OS. But, everyone has their own opinion.

No foundations? Perhaps the fact that OnePlus actually release stable OS' in a timely manner with very little need to change anything, OOS is an extremely stable and fast skin for Android..very light too.
Security update comes out OnePlus gets it... new OS in development, we get it early.....to what OEM are you referring?
Huawei does not offer this speed nor does it offer a beta program like this, Samsung didn't either if memory serves, Sony was pitiful and splintered (as was Huawei (due to device variants /regions) LG (do people still buy these types of phones? Motorola (budget phone not in the same league)
I've had a lot of phones so I have some experience here, this is a public forum, you can take my advice or you can move on, what I won't do is try to convince you against something you appear to have an agenda towards, personally I can say without prejudice or bias that the OnePlus 8 pro is the best phone on the market right now, very few people would argue that point.
Updates are on point, end of story.
A good OEM won't release huge updates because they have nothing to fix, meaning it was done right the first time, a bad OEM will do the opposite, like Samsung releasing a £1500 phone with a camera that won't focus.
Oh wow just saw your end of post, you compared an android device to apple.
Oh dear.
Tell me can you Bluetooth files yet? Is apple still crippling it's OS due to an "update" ?
Don't compare any android device to apple you'll get very little sympathy here in that regard.
Samsung? Really? Exynos processor in the non US variants? And you're supporting them? Anyone who likes android or has an ounce of respect for themselves would boycott them and sign the petition to get Snapdragon in all their phones..
I wouldn't swap my OnePlus if you offered me both the iPhone XS and the ultra.
Lastly I and the absolute vast majority of people have not and do not have any issue with our OnePlus phone.
Fastest phone out not.
Battery life? I get 10 hours SOT consistently, even when gaming.
What issues are you referring to? If it's green tint (see above)
