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?

They added the release notes for MM for ZE550KL and ZE551KL today on Zentalk.
I hope our ZE551ML will come soon.

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.

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.

I wouldnt be so quick to put Acer in a pedestal. Not only do they NEVER address their customers, but also have locked and signed bootloaders with no intention of unlocking them. Now, I dont think Asus has been fast or great to their users, but at least they communicate, listen, and are delivering updates way faster than the rest. (Pretty much every honeycomb device is projected to get an ICS update during Q2 or later, Asus is working for a late Q1 update...)
This is ICS related.
I might be wrong, but I thought we had a place for this sort of stuff...
OH WAIT, THAT'S RIGHT! IT'S THAT VERY FIRST STICKIED THREAD CALLED, "READ THIS NOW !!!•••POST ALL ICS AND ICS RELATED INFO HERE ONLY !!!!!".

This has never had *anything* to do with upsetting Google. Google couldn't care less if Asus releases for the TF101 tonight. They couldn't care less if they never release at all. Any Google approvals were given when the Prime build was finalized; beyond that Google isn't involved any more. Asus were just trying to make excuses, and Google made an easy scapegoat, because they won't comment.
The lack of truth to Asus' claim to be waiting for Google came when Asus themselves subsequently claimed the delay was down to their own techs being off for Chinese New Year, ie. not waiting for Google at all. Truth be told, the build has almost certainly been ready--at least, in as much as the Prime build was ready--from the same day the Prime build shipped. Asus have just chosen not to release for the TF101, likely initially because they wanted to build hype for the Prime (and "reward" Prime users for spending money more recently), and later likely because they realized a lot of Primes were being bricked, and didn't want to deal with warranty repairs for an even greater number of bricked TF101s, which are in the wild in far greater numbers.
Hence, we sit and wait until Asus fixes the TF201 problems, has sufficiently long to decide they're no longer bricking tablets, twiddles their fingers a bit, and then finally releases the TF101 build that's been available inside Asus all along.
At least, that's my (logical) guess.

Hauwei can take all the time they need to get it right before the MM release, in no rush here.

To be honest it's no difference from most mobile manufacturers. Even Motorola took their time when Lollipop came out, and they are known for (supposedly) releasing updates quickly.
Would you rather Huawei took their time making sure that an update is as bug free as possible, or rush it out with problems? (They have stated there was a major issue with the beta release on one of their twitter feeds).
don't expect much from a china company.
guys, honestly, how can you be disappointed in huawei for the the way they have handled updates rollout so far?? with plk-l01 we had 8 official updates, b180 runs pretty smooth and we are only a few weeks away from mm.
if they need more time checking for bugs and fixing issues, so be it!
bear in mind that they aren't using a proprietary OS, so setbacks and delays are part of the deal.
don't forget only MS and Apple can produce a 100% sure timeline for updates, their phones are running on proprietary OS, and if they couldn't keep their promises about updates i would definitely be mad at them, but you can't blame huawei for wanting to release stable updates instead of bugged ones.
after all, you could always turn to Nexus if you wanted to have an android smartphone with weekly updates
Nowadays nobody has the great virtue called "patience".
I just don't understand people who live in a world where there biggest worry is the Antutu score and having the latest update sooner than anyone...
Really, I'm still on B170 have no notification problems and no battery drain whatsoever. I am so pleased with my actual experience with the Honor 7 PLK-01 that I have no need for updating now. The only reason I would hit the update button is for a very important security risk.
You talk about patience and give honor a break ect but they are the ones saying it was going to be released last month. They created this problem. They should not lie. They should be more professional instead of giving an impression they have not got a clue what they are doing anymore.
But hey ho go and flash B320 MM it is a good update and I've been running it for a while.
Huawei haven't lied. This is software development where you have a timescale, and if an issue is found that needs more time to resolve, then it needs more time. Good to see they are taking time to get MM right before release.
Anyone wanting permanent updates (weekly) can switch to Xiaomi. THEN you´ll see bug and stability complains.
But hey, they have weekly updates that sometimes fix something and creates other problems. Also updates for useless features that the vast majority of their forum users (customers) regards as so.
Talking bout QA and listening to users feedback...

Xiaomi has 2 kind of updates, beta weekly and stable monthly. New features are somethimes useless, but others are a miracle,like permissions that are part Of xiaomi rom from 3 years,and google put them on android in M release... I have huawei and i think it's a good company also for the update process of this terminal, but it is impossible to make a perfect policy, and make all people happy. Even google with nexus line does not nake happy everyone, so

Stable monthly are not that stable and misses features the hardware supports. Been there among complainers for some years.
This is my third Huawei, so I think these phones are really good value. Even i bought one when people didn't even know the brand. BUT if they want to be a top brand somethings should be fixed, and one of them is to give proper deadlines for updates... usually you don't own a phone that long in order to wait manufacturers... This was one of the worst things of Microsoft last year, when we were waiting to release Windows mobile 10, and they lost a lot of customers, including myself.
I just hope they will fix some normal issues, for example: get notifications without power management stopping everything..

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

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

Are you asking or just saying?
Behold xda users, it's the time of the month. It has begun. Brace yourselves with this kind of threads!
Wow, that was surprising... Not!
Is it that hard to understand that You will receive the update regardless of endless/pointless threads on XDA when it's ready to release!
You will receive it to Your phoce according to Xiaomi's roll-out plan.
If it's by region and/or IMEI series time will tell!
But You ill get it eventually when it's Your turn...
And please try to realize the screaming/whining/crying does not make the roll-out process any quicker.
Nor will some "bullet proof" or "tested and verified" ways to force the update make Your life better.
Just be a bit patient, just for once!
I'm no fortune teller, but based on past records we can reasonably expect the update to be released 21-25th June. Let's just all be patient until then.

Can we get August update
You know what people? I'm gonna give you a different perspective of these kind of threads - a positive one.
First of all, those threads may seem useless, but for me they are a quick and easy way to see the update schedules from Xiaomi.
It's pretty simple - each month a so called 'noob' posts a thread of this kind. Then there are people that flame him for posting that thread (and I actually get mad way more when I see THOSE people there, because they just don't have anything else to do except complain for something). A week or so later, when Xiaomi releases the update, some other people come and send screenshots of their settings, showing the update is ready to download. When that happens - I know I should go and update my phone, too.
And why seek updates each month? Do they make our lives better? To be honest - no. But there is just some satisfaction of updating, knowing you go to the latest and newest possible software. Seeing the A/B partition scheme come into place, so it updates while you're using your phone is amazing. Also the fact that you're getting every security patches (well, some come out later but they still eventually do come out) makes you feel kinda 'proud' (if that's how I can even qualify it) of this cool budget Android One device.
Just be chill. Welcome such threads with smile, knowing that there is always some sort of a 'noob' trying to enter the world of customizing tech, modding, and even developing.
Are you parents brothers right?

No it's not hard. Whats hard is earning the money we spent on a device which made so many promises. Its totally fine that we are not getting any new update but you cannot stop anyone by telling that Xiaomi has a bloody roll out plan ciz if it had it would have been shown to us a long time ago when they released this phone. & this is only about shifting from one oreo to another oreo, what's your say when android P comes out.
This is an android one device & we are so far independent to discuss any stupid or legit questions we wish, stop being a hard guy & let me tell you, even you are frustrated with not getting 8.1 because you you were not, wouldn't have bothered replying

Let's NOT try to start a flame here...
Just agree to disagree!
Just to explain my point of view:
A1 is a budget phone.
At least I was aware of that when I bought it, so delayed updates/upgrades aren't any surprise especially as MIUI is Xiaomis flagship.
Roll-out plan: I was referring to the way Xiaomi chooses to distribute updates/upgrades. If You don't f*ck up Your phone You will receive an update notification. That works just fine at least on my phone!!
When it comes to 8.1 update: Who knows... I personally don't have any bigger issues that makes it critical to receive it ASAP.
And I haven't seen massive feature upgrades compared to 8.0 that are overwhelming.
There just might be other reasons to to visit XDA than 8.1 upgrade, right?? At least that's to case for me ...
(As Eng. isn't my native lang. I apologize for bad grammar in advance!)
It's the end of June and i still don't have my June update for the phone..... It's still in MAY PATCH

My phone works just fine without a June update and I would rather only have a stable update Xiaomi are happy to push.
I actually see it as a good thing, maybe whatever they planned to push (patch/security/8.1 who knows), was not ready and they had the good sense to delay pushing it until it was ready.

They released a new beta build today, maybe we will get it next week.
June is released, updating now (not the beta, final)
Time to leave MIUI Forums for a while. A pile of garbage threads about the update incoming.
Can anyone confirm if it's Android 8.1? Just to be sure lol
EDIT: Indeed it's Android 8.1
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)
