Hoooly ****, this is the most user-friendly thing I've seen Microsoft do in some time, and gives me hope that they have somebody with their head screwed on straight calling the shots on this one. Not only the enthusiast update option, but also the general slew of improvements in this update. Brilliant...
One important thing to note: the "voids your phone's warranty" bit is probably going to be taken pretty seriously. One reason that carriers hold back updates is because if there's a problem with the update, it impacts the carrier's support costs. By taking carriers (who are the ones selling most of the phones, and thus offering most of the warranties, at least in the USA) off the hook for supporting user issues, MS gives users the power to choose. This is good! Especially for those of us who already don't really have warranties on our phones (imported mine...)
A quick reminder: as with anything else of this sort, please try to proxy and/or pcap the traffic that this app generates. It's possible that it will be useful for things like forcing updates in the future, should that be needed.
Also, for those with interop-unlocked phones, this update is unlikely to break anything but could reset the unlock. Make sure you have the relevant apps installed beforehand, as if you have more sideloaded apps than your normal limit, you won't be able to re-sideload the unlocking apps. I haven't yet tested it; if anybody has already, please post your findings here or I will do it myself later.

Screenshots heading this way! The download took almost 30 minutes exactly at a random weak hotspot (I could have been wardriving who knows?) Anyways, I hit the spinning gears issue. It took like 1 hour and 40 minutes to install. That includes two soft reboots. It works great!

While the update brought you this, the SDK didn;t get updated, so we can't do anything special.
Probably with windows phone 8.1

Hi hawkeye, I've made a Zedge ringtone app 1 week ago and its currently being certified.
It'll be in the store latest by today or tomorrow. :laugh:

No bugs so far on my 928. Actually GDR2 was giving me problems with touch and the screen freezing but GDR3 seems to have solved that issue.

Since HTC didn't release GDR2 but promised GDR3 I would think they would want to push it ASAP for a number of reasons. Passing on GDR2 just as the MS/Nokia deal was announced was either bad timing or just plain childish. Would be interested in knowing what HTC added to the update or if they just threw it out there as their PR team was having an "Oh s**t!!!" moment.

I've had this for a while now but what will the Lumina Black update bring that update 3 hasn't all ready?

doesn't change the fact that honor cheated me.

new leaks available! The V8 seems to have only a 5.2 screen now.
BTW: I have had no trouble with my H7. until now! Not with undlocking bootblock and not with flashing or using it. So the next generation of H7 is welcome.

If u guys Dont even like Huawei or Honor phones why even comment? Just talking trash about someone elses phone thats just bad karma! I Dont Go around on iPhone forums telling Them their phones suck just because I think so! :Madman:

Cause nobody should be dislead into buying a fancy phone with faulty Software.. sure honor Phones bring awesome Hardware specs, but the bad implementation of emui Roms (notifications issues,..) and the closed source for Kirin socs take the Smart out of Smartphone for me..
Im also done with honor from my side..

The software is perfect and emui 5.0 is coming so..

Look at vernee.cc the alpha (not lite) deca core(10 core),21pm camera, 6gb ram, 128gb storage. 399usd

20:07:21 - Mike said : Hello, Joe Lyons . My name is Mike. How may I help you?
20:07:33 - Joe Lyons said : Hi Mike. Will the Honor 8 be receiving android oreo?
20:08:51 - Mike said : I'm afraid that we do not have any official information regarding that. We only know that the Mate 9 is the only model which is currently added in the Oreo beta program.
The beta program is slated to be finalized during December, at which point more of our models will be added to the Oreo update plan.
20:09:09 - Mike said : The Honor 8 will most likely be added, as well, but we did not receive any official information regarding the models which will be added.
20:09:18 - Joe Lyons said : Thank you!
20:09:26 - Mike said : You're very welcome.
20:09:37 - Mike said : Would there be anything else that I may assist you with?

The Magic 8 Ball says "Ask again later" so that was no help. The fortune teller told me that my long dead great, great grandfather said "maybe" , so that was better. So, I was walking the beach and found this strange bottle. While rubbing the sand off a genie appeared and gave me one wish, so I thought, here's my chance. For my one wish I said, "I want Oreo on my phone". So now I have it, but the trouble is, I can't see the screen for that damn cookie stuck to the screen.

This Prue Oreo thing has been discussed all over XDA, just wait for an official announcement from Honor's social media.

That settles it then, since I heard those rumors also. It's probably something to do with Nintendo buying Huawei and renaming their Honor series Pacman.

OnePlus Pushing Out Fake Oreo Builds

Anyone read about this?
https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/7iydl8/oneplus_allegedly_kept_711_firmware_in_its_oreo/
A couple of Chinese developers found that one plus was still using a branch of 7.1.1HAL/firmware in Oreo OOS update. Users are complaining in the Chinese OP community. Peter Lau retorted: "What exactly is the core of Android 8.0?"
Update: Oneplus disabled Reply function(yes, the reply function) altogether in the Chinese Oneplus community! How about that. The company is seriously ****ED UP. I'm speechless.

Yes it's a shame. Also they refuse to include treble. Im so dissapointed. Devs will have to do much more work

I'm glad I waited. Seems like there are a lot of shortcuts behind the scenes in the software. This and the missing crypto libraries for HD YouTube etc.

How about this? True?

I don't get it? They did say they weren't going with treble, so why would the firmware change much between N and O?
I'm not defending them in any way, I just want to know why this is bad?

Well, its like using win7 drivers in win10. Calm down.

A lot of code of N still works in O so I dont know what the problem is.

Same here, I really don't See the problem

To be fair, the process to add treble when updating from 7 to 8 seems to be quite difficult. Good chance that making the update smooth for end users was too hard.
That said... they could have just shipped it with 8.0, but again, to be fair it was probably too tight of a timeline to get it ready vs just tweaking the oneplus5 7.0 build to work on the 5t.

I bought a Pixel with What supposed to be the real Oreo, but there was no creme filling. Fake!

Secondly, Android 7 to 8 with Trebble is do-able. Essential phone is in the process and I bet they will prove OnePlus's 6-month release and money making greed.

Does anyone have a ZTE Axon 7s A2018?

Well I agree with you one thing being that they are for the Chinese gov and some businesses but you can still get them all day long on AliExpress. Visiting for a Gigaset developers meeting in Germany with a friend of mine that moved to Germany bought one from AliExpress but unfortunately he lost it the same day he got it when we were hiking at the Bavarian Forest National Park. So I never got the chance to get the full experience of what's under the hood. He didn't buy another one because too pricey last year.
I might get one to develop on if it's worth it.

Still to this date I have never seen a real-life picture of the Axon 7S, just the renders that ZTE released on their website and the TENAA images. I didn't realise you could actually buy the Axon 7S from AliExpress but I'm not sure how it could really be worth the price increase just for the dual-camera setup and SD821. I'd be interested to see some thoughts from someone who has the device in regards to the camera quality, etc. The speaker grille is definately a lot more attractive on the 7S.

I'd never heard of them. It's a bit like one plus releasing a T version.
Would like to have one of those

I have one, and let me tell you I can't find any information. Please develop away. I finally started using Baidu.com with google translate and found an update to 6.1 and that took me 2 months for figure out.

Could you post a few pictures of the device? I have never seen any real-life photos of the Axon 7S before, just the official renders supplied by ZTE and TENAA images.
EDIT: Never mind, I just found this video on YouTube that I have not seen before. It gives a good idea of what the device looks like in comparison to the standard Axon 7. The speaker grilles look a lot more attractive!
I'd love to see some camera samples if you're able to take some outdoor shots and upload them!

@Droggi87
Some of the specs are wrong, already know about gsmarena. One of my buddies had one but he sold it before I could see if it had the same dual amp setup.
Thanks though bud

Nope, it is still on 6.0.1 and I haven't found any software version other than this on ZTE's site. Do you have any? It is giving a strange problem that its earphone behaves erratically, as it goes off.
