I can tell you this, it has Alexa support, improved voice recognition for Alexa and 10X camera zoom. As far as the rest, I do not know.

The article I read about it this morning said the updates were supposed to roll out at lunch today, but nothing on mine.

Nothing on mine yet either

yes, I got OTA now

I got it as well and it has March 1 security updates included.

The "ok google" notification bug is gone as well.

Got it now too. It's probably still lunch time somewhere.

I wonder if we will get this official B183 OTA if we are on the beta from fh - MHA-L29C567B182-log. I hope I don't have to fh to get the official B183. If you were on the B181/B182 betas and received the B183 OTA, please post.
Thanks!

So you can't disable the Alexa app. Sigh

Nope and honestly its trash. Tried to set a timer and said it couldnt. Immediately put it in a hidden folder never to be seen again.
However this update has a bunch of bug fixes.
Dropzone popups when accepting permissions is gone
Ok google popup in the camera and other apps is gone
Screenshot now works on the first try
iheartradio doesnt shut off when the screen sleeps anymore.
Thats all ive found so far. Add those plus the 10x zoom and Id say its a great update.

C567B183 is available on firmware finder.

Currently using a US Mate 9 in Hong Kong and it's getting the B183 firmware now!! I was previously on the B167 firmware.
It's got the March security updates too!

Can someone extract the alexa apk for me

I do not see the update on my US version as of now.

G935AUCU4APJ4 with Oct. 1 2016 security update

Better late than never. It's 252.87 MB. No documentation of it yet on AT&T's software-update page, but that should be coming soon.

Thanks! I was wondering when this was going to be released, especially when I saw that Google just released the November update for Nexus devices. Like you said, better late than never...
PJ4 update
New update. I downloaded last night. It adds something called Fullscreen? Any one else got any news on what changed? Says security patch level is October 1, 2016. Was about 250MB
Trying to figure that out to. Cant find any Changlog for this
Turned on the advanced messaging again for me. I turned it off since it wasn't working properly. Maybe it's fixed now.

You know what? I'm not sure now. I could've sworn I read an article saying there was, now the only reference I find is for T-Mobile S7's getting a performance update.
I was on rooted stock PI2 and accidentally said OK to the OTA and it sent my phone into bootloop. Had to start from scratch.
Is the current root stable enough to use as a daily driver?

Sprint S7 Edge Android 7 download available

So, here in KC, I was curious to see if an update was available for my Sprint S7 Edge to 7.0 and its installing now. No notification or announcement (or I am oblivious to the obvious) from Sprint and my phone is set only to check manually, once I selected to check it came up with a 1628MB download. Mods, please delete if this is in the wrong spot or redundant, but a quick search did not show anything but the beta. I tried to join the beta but was too slow so unless this is a fluke, or I suddenly got included in the beta this looks to be available. I'll delete or update once it is done. UPDATE, G935PVPU4ZPLN Android Version 7.0. Yea..

does the hotspot restart thing still work?
When should we see this update?
I finally broke down and traded in my note7 for the s7 edge...first off not a bad phone at all. Pleasantly supprised actually! When do you think 7.0 or 7.1 will start rolling to us? I have the g935p. Should I just keep searching for it? Anyone else around the Minnesota area get the update yet? Thanks in Advance!

Essential Service update available

Just for info
New update to Essential Services on playstore now, 2nd October.
Anybody know what the Services are for?
Edit: Says Bug and performance fixes. Maybe firmware related?
I just got my essential phone off of swappa and it's running build "NMI75B test-keys". For some reason I am unable to update any system apps via the play store while on this build. Camera, Essential Resources, and Essential Services are all showing updates available, but every time I've tried to download them I get error code 505. I think there is something with this test build firmware that is preventing me from updating system apps via the play store. Every other app (150+) that I have installed has worked flawlessly.

Build NMI75B is not an official build from Essential. The device in reference from the XDA link is using incremental beta SW in test - 64C is the official release build at this time but we will be releasing another public SW update within the next few weeks. Stay tuned.

Hot Diggity! Honor Sent Me A Software Update!

Bout Time Something Came Through...
I know... Everyone else on the Planet most likely already has the B140 Software update...
But at least I know I'm on the list! even if it is last..
Wonder what happened to B192 for the BND - L24 ?
If anyone that reads this can chime in.. was it a prerequisite that the 7x received B140 before B192 ? and does anyone that has a BND - L24 received B192 yet?

Facical Unlock (B192) is what should have been released instead of this.. The 1st market received B192 the last week of January.

Mr. Ambassador.. Thank You.
Kind words indeed... I just offer my insight as I see it with the Honor 7x.
All of us have invested our hard earned dollars into this device.
And it's a GREAT device.. just standing on it's own merits.
EMUI has matured.. And, because Huawei / Honor controls their overlay AND the SoC.. it's a smooth running machine.
The Software is PACKED with useful features from tempeture adjustments to themes, dpi and much more.
This is the 1st device I've owned where I can honestly say, *Rooting is an OPTION.. Not A Requirement*
Some people have accused me of starting a rebellion.. telling others not to root their devices..
OWNER'S CHOICE.
My words are not so powerful that when "Raiderwill Almighty" speaks you have to listen.
It's just MY point of view.
I'm glad you enjoy reading more than One Side of the Story... :good:

I completely agree to the point that Honor made "Rooting, an Option but not a requirement" with their emui .I bought this device with a few doubts as I tried custom ui like Miui and vibeui before and not really liked them .But I have no regrets for buying this device and I totally love emui now

Hello.. I'm Assuming, You Did Not Have This Issue Prior To Receiving The B140 Update ?
Since you've Factory Reset your device might I suggest you go into Setting > Display > Sleep and set it to 10 minutes.. and see if that fixes your issue with Chrome... Only Chrome huh ?

This is an EMUI bug and has shown up in devices like the Honor 8, P10, Mate 9, etc.
When a few people were reporting this issue on the Honor 8 I didn't face it so I'm assuming it affects only a small number of people.
This showed up immediately after the update right?

Just received Google March Security Patch for my Mate 9

Just received Google March Security Patch for my Mate 9. Live in SF. Impressive that update came so fast. Hopefully, Hauwaei realizes how important it is to continue to fix bugs, add security.
Phone is impressive, especially battery power. Never had a phone, being power user, that goes all day and still 50% at night. Beautiful screen, fast, storage.
Got the update about a week ago, nice to see updates still coming. Located in Canada.
Got it on the 12th. Hope the updates continue.
I had the update waiting for a few days, but due to having TWRP, I couldn't install it. Flashed the stock recovery yesterday and updated. The April update is already on FF so hopefully Huawei will continue to push out updates in a timely fashion

Hope you're right. Continuous updates would give US customers confidence in brand & counter negative publicity by right wingers, who are only concerned with protecting US commerce, not security.

If the April patch (USA version) works like the March version, I'm guessing early May to be approved.
FF shows it, but not available, EMUI update shows no updates, so I'd guess it will be a few more weeks
for most people unless you want to jack with the phone a bit.
Buggy
I updated my Mate 9 to the March Security Update a few weeks ago, and ever since then, a few apps have been crashing on startup. Google keep, Gmail, etc. It doesn't say anything after when crashing. And it's annoying as hell.
Got April tonight
