Yeah, I do. Rebranded from C432. Was on C636B191 - very nice build. Now on C636B362 (clean install) and battery drains faster.

Yeah me too...so quickly than the .360...i set the launch and all other setting same as my previous setting on .360, but still get the same result.

noticed no issues with battery on mine. still get 2 days of pretty decent usage out of it.

Can I move to this build using FF from MHA-L29C636B158? I have just picked up this phone and I assume FF is the only way I can get updates and hence Oreo? If appropriate is it best to use 'auto DNA' or proxy?

I got an OTA update from the first Oreo update (got that back in December, before Christmas Eve... 21st maybe?) to .363 last night. Also got last month's security patch. The update change log did not mention anything about WiFi, but I noticed that it seemed to connect "easier".

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.

Can we still root if we are on PJ4?

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?

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.

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.

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.

To buy or not to buy

I plan on buying the H8 now since it has a gotten a price cut recently. I noticed a few things browsing the forums here.
1. There is thread here in this forum about ways to save battery in the H8, how much is the actual SOT truthfully if someone would kindly tell, in a trickle usage, say 15 to 30 mins of gaming, an hour or 2 of watching YouTube, quite a few hours of music playback both stressing and local, and always on Wi-Fi, and also I'd want my notifications when they arrive but ALSO I DO NOT USE FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM OR SNAPCHAT. Just WhatsApp and Hangouts.
2. What is the screen getting dim issue ?
3. If I don't unlock the bootloader and root my device, I'll get all OTA's. Now, in a thread here only I was reading about updates being launched in a website about a week or two before OTA launch. The latest one being for the November patch with EMUI 5.0.1. How the hell did the updating system of the H8 work can anyone clarify.
4. And what is the requirement for rebranding the phone to 19 from 09 or 04.
I want to get this phone for its screen, and performance mainly. Can anyone also share if I should be aware of any other bugs or issues with this phone before making a final decision.
1) with what ur doing, probably around 5 hrs SOT, 5hrs 45 mins maybe if u tinker with the settings, I've gotten 6 hrs with 10 percent left before doing mostly YouTube and reddit.
2) no idea what that issue is, don't think I've ever had it
I don't really mess with my phone's so idk about 3 and 4.
So far i haven't ran into any big bugs. I've had this phone for a year and it's great, performance is really smooth. Maybe a hiccup here or there but they are few and it recovers pretty quick.

If you are on a budget and can't afford the Honor 9. Then why not.
Will probably not receive any further major updates. Security updates are currently available but I'm guessing not for much longer.
If you want a phone for the screen and performance (uncertain about which kind of) you can save some money and go for Moto G5s Plus. Faster graphics processing if you're gaming. Also potentially better software support and development (Oreo available).

Is that the Indian edition ??
If you pair your phones to a bluetooth enabled automobile, then I would not recommend the Honor 8. Nougat 7.0 has issues with several auto manufacturers, just google it. Google's 7.1.2 release was suppose to fix this issue, along with the Oreo update which adds in even more bluetooth codecs, thanks to Sony's help. Since we are stuck on 7.0 and no idea if the Honor 8 will ever see another update, I would avoid it unless you can find a friend with this phone and test pairing it to your auto before buying. It is not pairing to my 2013 Elantra.

November update and December update

I had to format the phone because of November update problems..now it ask again to download it and j can't see December update....should I download Nov update..will it cause any more problem..such as freezing of Google,Google Assistant,clock...i suffered from these once
Nobody can give you the right answer for that since there are few people who had issues and there are people who never had issues(I never had any issue, not on october, not on november and not on this update)
Google and gooogle assistant have general issue on all phones in recent updates of those apk-s(as you can see in users comments in google play), that's not the issue of mi a1 OS.
Noone knows if your unit will work properly or not.

Me too. I get the occasional freezes and have to force a reboot. I didn't get the December update yet and can't find an answer if it fixes these problems or not.
And, by the way, shouldn't we be getting the Oreo update by now?

I had december update, but i messed up my phone by installing twrp. So i reflashed everything, and now december is gone. lol,. its funnny actually. Now OTA gives me november only (which i won't install), so from december i'm back to October.

Bugs...hardware issues..different network...different signal, user doing something the system..errors caused by using...it's a software, could be anything. Majority have no problems, but there are cases that do.
example:latest win10 1709 update is working fine on one machine and on the other it's cracking, on the third it's freezing, some apps are not working properly, pointer issues, somewhere there is a high cpu usage, random restarts..all that with the same hardware.
Even though most of users don't have issues, some report that their units are not working.

Manufacturers will usually not release an update for all devices at once. They usually start out at a very low percantage of devices (~1-5%) and wait for reports regarding any issues or failed updates. They then will increase the number of devices over the coming 1 to 2 weeks.
What you delete the google framework data you're esentially telling the google server that you're device has been factory reset which will usually cause you to receive any updates available but this might cause issues with system stability.
See this post from 2013:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...to-never-clear-google-service-framework-data/
conclusion: you can wipe your framework data if you want (i.e. we can't stop you), but you shouldn't. It is recommended to wait until your device is scheduled for the update.

In fact it's possible to skip one or more months and update directly to the latest version. There is incremental OTA between two versions (e.g. November -> December), between several versions (e.g. October -> December) and full OTA (e.g. July -> December).

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.
Nice to know April is in FF, and as you said hopefully be pushed out OTA to us.

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
