Android Nougat for A5 2017 (A520F) - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

Does anyone know when will receive a5 2017 nougat update?
They were saying that will be on 31/07 and now is on 31/08 , and other persons said that will be in few days.
Can anyone info me ?
Thanks.

I believe that it can't be on 31/08 because A320F and A720F has started to get nougat update since a week but Samsung did not communicate on the deployment date so it is difficult to give accurate information. To my mind it will comes in few days, we still waiting...

It will come soon enough. No one knows exactly when. Don't think about it and it will come soon.

Hi, A720F also yet to receive nougat update in any country, hope will get in few days.

waiting N, it's incredible that Samsung is releasing many firmwares for many countries in July...and all the time !
i think the big problem is that there are no "standardization" beetween regions (frequencies,playstore apps ......) and maybe samsung and other spent many time for to devellop and test theirs firmware ,and adapt security patches for everybody.....and too much time for their bloats .

Honor 8 Pro (C432), still no Oreo...

Hey guys,
I've been using my Honor 8 Pro for a year now, I really like it.
But there's a side to Honor/Huawei that I really dislike and that is the lack of software support/updates. I've been waiting for the Oreo update for months now and still nothing. Even worse, I'm still on B185 and check for updates every day and never an update available. We're almost in April and this seems like just lazy company policy. "Screw those 1 year old phones" or something like that.
However, I have been reading on a lot of forums that a lot of people in Europe (C432) have already received the update... What's the holdup? I don't really understand this rollout in phases and how they select IMEIs for receiveing the updates...
Anyone able to tell me what's going on with this? It feels like I'm in a Monty Python's joke or something!
Thanks in advance!
Same here. Looks like nobody in Spain had received the OTA either.
Same here, I'm in Malaysia(C636), still oreo update, although just received B189 update.
Has anyone in Sweden got Oreo ?
Try with Firmware Finder from Huawei.

It doesn't work because the firmware is IMEI linked, so once downloaded you can't install it if your IMEI is not in the list. And if it was in the list, you had had received the OTA. It makes no sense, I know.
Thanks everyone for the responses.
I've tried getting in touch with Huawei/Honor customer support and they're useless... No info whatsoever.
I probably will sell the phone and buy something else, which leaves me a bit sad because I really like this phone... No more Honor or Huawei for me. They're very bad when it comes to software/security updates.
Again thank you everyone for your input!

The update pretty good from me. Bought since july last year, received july, august, september, november, january up until february security patch along with oreo emui 8.0. Yeah i just receive oreo 2 days ago... its pretty late but never mind as its pretty much the same... The only best thing for me is the Game Suite app and can change screen resolution to FHD... Better games frame rate. I'm from Malaysia.

Looks like the EU version (C432) is the forgotten one, stuck with B185 from last September...
I was on B189 before receiving 8.0 in late February (C432). Have you tried to boot it without a SIM card and searching for updates on WiFi?

Yes. And tried Hi-Suite tool too, no success. I've asked in other forums too and looks like they haven't released anything newer than B185 for units sold in Spain

Samsung A8+ (2018) is to get Android Oreo soon

It looks the situation is all set to change soon as Samsung is gearing up to roll out the Android Oreo update to the Galaxy A8 and A8+. The company has received WiFi certification for these devices with Android 8.0 onboard, hinting that the rollout is around the corner. Certification is one of the few final steps before the release of a new update, so this is a good sign that these handsets will get Oreo sooner rather than later.
Samsung is yet to reveal a roadmap for releasing the said update for the 2018 Galaxy A8 and A8+. It should only be a matter of time now, though, as the company will be updating other mid-range handsets in the coming months and it would almost certainly update the newer and pricier Galaxy A8/A8+ to Oreo before moving further down its smartphone lineup.
Update : Seems like A8+ got Bluetooth Certificate as well , watch this space for confirmation.

Agreed, Maybe if my warranty voids, I will consider making a ROM and Oreo is coming anyway
Samsung is hard to build for but as long that I have root I'm okay.

Exynos chips to be particular, But I feel we should give it a try. I can't see a good device without a good Dev community
i guess A8+ (2018) got it's Bluetooth Certificate today Hope this trend continues
I saw this listing in Bluetooth Launch Studio website, I am not sure though. Guess , I have to tune in for people to publish update about it What do you say @mchlbenner

Dead.
But Good news Everyone! Android Oreo has started to roll out! Abuse that OTA button and update your Jackpot2lte I am uninstalling all Substratum overlays :cyclops:
You can use Samsung Switch to update your A8/A8+ with Oreo. Heads up if you're impatient with OTA Updates
Got that oreo update finally , thankyou.
The google now launcher is not compatible with this version as it says on play store, could you help me with that?

No oreo till august/september

There isn't any official announcement but. Seeing the pattern of providing update and the maintenance release notes for June patch. no one can expect Oreo till August/September as. It would take July to get updated security patch on every retail channel after which they will release another release which MAY be oreo. Which would actually take another month for full implementation.
Though I have created a tagline for Moto
"Lie like a pro
Lie like Moto"
Here's the Patch release Notes for g5splus

Cause It's in the news section and it's a news Sir.
As you can explicate the news as anything which is relevant to certain group or community and affect a large no of person is news.
Why are you still expecting after all this time!? They are not interested in giving Updates. Just Install any Custom Rom and Move on, because the discussion on this topic looks trash now!
Motorola os offcially releasong when the see the overall sales of G6 family has already satisfy / met expectations....or....nothing at all and theres no more options to release oreo...also..expect oreo release when Android P comes to everybody....im moving from Motonovo and going forward to Xiaomi or Huawei or Google Pixel or even back to HTC
Don't go to Huawei

I get your frustration with Motorola, but Huawei is much worse. They put out a public statement about major upgrades and patching and then did neither. Customer support was horrible.
Moto may suck, but Huawei sucks much more.
My 2 cents....

True. And this is nothing compared to Samsung.
S7 Oreo update: Buggy. Stopped. Two times.
S8 Oreo update: Buggy.
A3 Oreo update: Bootlooping.
Hell, I would never buy a Sammy.
Better a late and stable update than a quick and buggy one.

This was days ago. Guys, calm down! About 20 threads in the news and q&a section about Oreo.
I had do unbookmark these threads because every day someone opens another thread with NO information and I get pinged. Please start opening theads when something really happens. I would like to receive Oreo too but these "news" doesn't help anyone. Nothing against this OP, it's the mass that is annoying.

I really want to, but those camera bugs on Oreo custom roms annoys me, so I'm using stock rom again and one reason that I bought this phone months ago is because Motorola said that it was going to update to Oreo, which is frustrating to not seeing it yet.
Oreo will happen.
It's just a matter of when?
We're just lower down the priority list than newer phones (like any other manufacturer).
We should hopefully be next after Moto G5S, so watch for when that starts rowling out.

[UPDATE] Honor 8X - Android Pie/ EMUI 9

I was in contact with Honor last week, EMUI 9 is scheduled for the second half of 2019. We have to wait ! (sorry for my bad english, i am french )
Your English is fine Mas8x - far better than my French! Yes, Huawei/Honor are really slow at releasing updates. I suppose it is due to them manufacturing a bewildering range of different handsets.
Jeez that is slow.
Damn!
I love this phone. However, I am starting to think I made a big mistake looking at honor phones.
2nd half of 2019 is too long.
Hello, moderators in the Indian Honor Club have repeatedly stated that Honor 8x will get Pie in the 1st week of April. They have also mentioned quite a few times that they will try to bring it even earlier.
@Mas8x your English is not at all bad. Also as Gyre8 mentioned, my French is far worse (Almost non-existence).
Lol try having a ZTE phone. You get whatever it released with, maybe a few software updates to the existing phone. So what if you aren't getting Pie immediately? Roll with Oreo till it updates and it'll update.
Relax, there are still phones which are getting Oreo as of now. So for a low-ranger like 8X, April is fair enough.
https://www.xda-developers.com/emui...se-for-honor-10-honor-play-and-honor-view-10/
Honor 10 and play, and view 10 are available to update now. Unfortunately, 8X still have to wait. But I think it will be soon after the global release.
Update started for few models. Few registering for beta now
Just FYI - received Android Pie via OTA update in Slovakia.

Nothing to indicate it's a Beta. Cannot attach a screenshot for some reason. Build number is 9.0.1.132.
Anybody know when the update is available in France ? Sorry for the English ^^
Beta is pretty stable, only thing that needs fixing so far is dual app support, so i'd soon. Probably in march.

Updated 9.0 several days ago which is so called public test version. It's disappointing cause no GMS included, and I can't find a working GMS installer for it. So, no Google play, no good. And several VPN apps don't work as well, it's very annoying as I'm in China. Wish someone can make a proper GMS installer for Android 9.

Any one can tell me why Samsung Singapore Update verry slow?

I have Galaxy Note 10+. Software provider is SIN/XSC Singapore. I still not received Android 10 update. Also Galaxy S10 Series user still not get Android 10. 2 weeks now. Any one can tell me why Singapore update verry slow? Please tell me they send us Android 10?
Be patient. Malaysia just got the update
Yes i know malayasia already got the Android 10. But Singapore still not. Also S10 series users not get the update 3 weeks now ?
There are many, many countries not receiving the update untill now, I dont see why singapore should be among the first receiving it, or whatever

It takes as long as it takes... If you don't have the unlocked (the model that pulls it's updates straight from Samsung) variant for your region/country then your carrier has to approve the update before you get it.
Just be patient, lol.. I know it can be hard to do, but your not the only person who hasn't gotten the update. Spectrum Mobile hasn't given it's approval yet, so we still haven't gotten it. In fact we are still on the November security patch.
Honestly, after getting Android 10, there is not much excitements. I don't like the new gesture and I prefer to use One Hand Operation +. And I can't use with Nova launcher.
Force dark mode makes Facebook really weird and doesn't work on WhatsApp.
Other updates are just minor updates.
The only good thing for me is it fixes google messages rcs function
Ok thanks for your comments. Im from sri lanka my friends i mean note10+ users ( Not SIN/XSP ) they got update yesterday. Im the only one not get the update. Very late updates from samsung Singapore ?

I've talked to Singapore support and they said we will receive it in Feb. Unbelievable!!!!!
Unbelievable indeed. Most all other countries have it. I'm tempted to install 1 of the Android 10 ROM's that are already out "if" I can do so without having the base firmware installed 1st.
Well, dont be so anxious... Android 10 has some really annoying unresolved issues, it is already available in my country, but I blocked the updates, I am waiting for when all issues reported by many users are ironed out, so, in the end maybe it is a blessing for you that in your country is not available yet...
100% agree! I heard good lock is not working on android 10.

Android 10 just released in Australia this afternoon. Im on Vodafone with a Samsung direct supply device and just got the update by checking manually.
Version is N975FXXU1BSLA
https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-N975F/XSA/doc.html
Im glad i root it. I bought note 10+ coz of starhub promotions. And was disappointed not only official release is lack behind and trust me in near future too. But lack of third party roms kernels. Aosp havoc os etc. * U could use other countries csc or official release as long as same model.

Still waiting for Singapore Android 10,is there any chance to install another region firmware to our Note 10 plus if we do not want to wait for ota?
I manually flashed it without any issue ?.
