I just got the Oreo beta on my US honor 7x BND-L24 model and it's super smooth. However, it's missing the face unlock feature, is anyone else experiencing this? I never got it with the B192 update either (the previous one to this one).
Thanks.
*UPDATE* as of 04/27/2018: I got an update last night that has the face unlock feature. Its super fast; better than my galaxy s8+ (running oreo).
Hey man how did you got the beta for the US variant?

I filled out the FUT form when it was available. It's since been closed as they only had limited spots. Supposedly the official release is in about another month so it's not a long wait.
I'm also running the FUT Oreo, and Face Unlock appears to have not made it to this release. Actually, I don't believe I ever saw an official source say the 7X would be getting that feature, now that I think about it.
Thanks for the info man, but one last question.. the lag is finally gone in this update...i mean if they fix the ram lazyness?

The Honor 7x will be getting face unlock. We announced it would back at CES.
The feature is not in the oreo beta.
Thank you for that confirmation!

Ah okay, well I saw that the india variants got it so I was just wondering is all. I still really like the phone (despite removing the lock button from the floating navigation button) especially since the lag is basically all by gone. Kind of amazing really. Thanks for the info.

BLN-L24
I got the email and applied the update.
Interested in seeing how it works.
Have noticed a couple issues.
Can't get Google Now to launch when press and hold on the Home key.
Also, going into the camera app, changing models between Photo, Pro Photo, HDR, you can't get back to regular Photo.
Google Now works fine for me. Camera modes all work for me without issue. Maybe you should clear your cache via recovery or factory reset.
I did a request but I' m om L21 (europe).
Hope it doesn't auto update.
update is nice. The notifications isn't my style but nice to see they are working on things. I'm not exactly a power user so I probably won't notice things as much as others. Battery life seems to have gone down a bit but other than that the update has been pretty good.
I got Google Assistant on my Beta.

Agreed on battery life. Definitely seems to have gone from amazing to very good.
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 ?

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
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.

Lie like Moto"

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.
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

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.

Yeah the fingerprint scanner is very fast now but i wud wait for some more days.. coz it always starts giving issues after somedays of registering
Your lucky, we're still on a June update in NZ. I hope this update wings it's way here really soon. I've been really tempted to throw this piece of junk off a bridge because of the utterly useless fingerprint reader and it unlocking in my pocket. It's the worst mid range phone i have ever owned bar none. Had my rant, feel better now. No more samdung in my life ever once this one dies!

Just wait till you get the August update. I was in the same boat as you. I hated this phone for its camera and useless fingerprint sensor. Hell I had even listed it for sale online. But after the update today the fp works flawlessly. No tricks. No multiple fingerprints. It unlocks instantly. I hope that the next update improves the camera as well. Fingers crossed.
we got update in iran?
