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.

Beta ?
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.

Hello guys,
A few weeks ago I've asked the admin of the page huaweinews.com about when are Huawei planning to release the official EMUI 3.0 for the rest of the world (International Frimware).
He told me this:
A representative from Huawei Serbia told me that the official update for Europe will start rolling out in March, It is also possible that the Android 5.0 update for P7 will come then.

So I just wanted to share these news with you. Hopefully they are true... I just get pissed-off of waiting for this update.
So another thing is immediately after he responded me, I've asked him are Huawei planning to release a Android 5.0 update for our phone. And that I am asking, because our phone is more than capable of running Android 5. And since it is the most selled Huawei phone in the world, I think they should update it to Lollipop too!
Now we are waiting for further response to my second question, but meanwhile we can discuss the upcoming release.
Cheers!

Yes, that is what I said to him. P7 is not so better then our phones. And so we must get some 5.0 update also! The only problem is, that our phone is just an older model. But I am an optimist and I think that there is very good chance of use getting the 5.0! Besides from Huawei never denied anything connected with P6 Lollipop upgrade, so that leave us some hopes about it.

Regarding EMUI 3.0 - Chineese B709 (with removed Chineese apps) works just fine here in Croatia.. As I'm concerning, Huawei don't need to rush with int. version.
But certanly, I would like to see lolipop on my phone, and hopefuly we will get it sooner or later. The priority of Huawei is to bring 5.0 on P7 first, and I think after that, they just need to addopt it to work on our P6. But the sad thing is, if this will happen, it will be as soon as end of this yerar, not before!
Thanks.
The wait for international emui3.0 had been too long.
Far too long.

Common Huawei!!! We are waiting for far too long, guys!!!
Yesterday I've update my friends Huawei G6 to EMUI 3.0 official ROM. So even the G6 have the EMUI 3.0 already and this phone is a lower class than ours!!! What is happening? Huawei P7 is on EMUI 3.0 already too!!! G6 before P6??? Common... This is not serious...
Looks like huawei doesn't care to P6 anymore.
We have been wating far too long for EMUI 3.0 Europe for P6.
Our patience is running out. Huawei doesn't care to costumers.
At least you guys in Europe get OTA updates, so you'll most likely get EMUI3.0 sometime soon.
I haven't received one OTA update since getting my device almost 2 years ago. We're also "stuck" on B510 (from the Huawei ZA website), so we don't get any bug fixes either.
Huawei South Africa seems to not care about us. Oh, and another thing, we don't have any carrier settings either, so we basically just have a general firmware without any optimization for our carriers, so no boot animation either.

I will inform you guys if they tell me anything. But if there is not gonna be any update for Europe this will the most stupid thing ever.
But from other side I can understand them - why to update old phone, when you can update the new ones and by this to force the consumers to buy them instead of staying with their old phones. This guys must cell phones...
I Hope someone from huawei reads this.
If there is no lollipop update for the P6, I promise you this will be my last Huawei device, We paid a lot of money for this phone, it has all the hardware requirements for lollipop and has a huge user base. But i will not buy a phone again that has this poor and pathetic after sale service and poor attitude from huawei, we supported you and bought your device, the least you can do is update the phone every once in a while and when a new OS comes out which is compatible with the hardware, give us the option to upgrade.
So i say again, and i believe im not alone on this, if there is no longer updates on this device, this will be my last Huawei and i will always recommend other devices to clients.
same opinion

This is true. It will also be my first but last Huawei device. Huge disappointment for me from the support of the phone. As you said - most of the same yeared phones already have Lollipop. I hope just when huawei release some Lillipop ROM for some other device, developers will port it to P6.
I will rellay only on custom roms for Lillipop...

It's such a pity that there haven't even been any updates to the Chinese version of EMUI 3.0 since December.
Ahead of the final roll out, which is set to begin sometime next month, Huawei has started pushing out the Nougat beta update to its Honor 6X smartphone. The information was revealed by the Chinese company's Pakistan subsidiary on Twitter.

I see a PR failure of HUAWEI...
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
OK, so Android Pie is officially released. I know it will be a while before it starts showing up on our Nokias, but when it does, I want to know when people start getting it, where they are located, what model they are using, which carrier they are on. This should give the rest of us an idea when we can expect to get it.
Thanks.
It should start on September, so I hope we will get it soon.

Probably not for a good long while, the main reason being the Chinese version gets what the Chinese government says they get, and the Chinese government is very picky about who gets what, especially if they don't make any money off of it.

Except they are not all in the Chinese market. Nokia 6.1s are being sold all over the world. It sucks for the Chinese market, but the rest of us will be getting updates. Specifically those who have Android One versions.
A solution for pie simulation
How about simulating Android pie by using a user interface similar to the Google pixel phones that has received the update? Then we can get pie like notification and recents (at least). If possible, a tweak for gesture or simple nav bar can be added. This can be applied to other non-pie ROMs (I meant ROMs of Oreo).
There's a reason I didn't like Android pify. It's p style recent is extremely buggy with pixel launcher.

My apologies for the confusion, but I was referring specifically about the Chinese version. The other versions should be soon ish.
For those who weren’t informed, Nokia 7 Plus was joined by the Nokia 6.1, Nokia 7 and Nokia 8 Sirocco in using the beta version of Android P. But this trial was limited to the Chinese market only. Speculations are that these devices might be amongst the first to get the new Android Pie and might even be ahead of Nokia 3 and Nokia 5.

September 26 and I just got the September security patch. Still waiting on Pie.
Downloading and installing the September security update on my TA-1050 currently. No signs of the Pie update as of yet.
Same on my TA-1045 (north america), just got the september update ~ 81MB

Employees in Xiaomi support suck a**. They don't know the slightest thing they're talking about. Last time I asked them when we were gonna get the Android 10 update they told me "very soon", "we're working on it" etc. All evasive responses. Some other dude asked Xiaomi support and they told him we'd get it two weeks after he asked which was about 1,5 months ago. So, don't trust Xiaomi support, they don't know what they're saying/doing. But I believe in January we'll get the update, a really crappy one. Just like how it was with Android Pie, full of bugs and missing features. LOL :laugh:

I agree that the Custom ROMs are very stable right now, but I can't trust them. That's the reason I'm still using stock ROM with locked BL in 2019 haha. I wish Xiaomi cared more for their Android One devices, but it seems they only wanted hop on another trend real quick and they are technically not giving a sh*t at all. When I first bought this phone, I expected all Android One devices to run the same OS, but somehow Nokia Android One devices get better, faster and more polished updates. I wish I had gotten the Nokia 7.1 when I had the chance. Shame.
