I got the EMUI 9.1 update in July and since then I have received no further updates. I'm still on the July security patch.
Has the support for the 8 Pro ended? I read somewhere that Honor stops supporting devices exactly two years after launch. I'm on Build 9.1.0.210 (C432E3R1P5)
I think, Yes. Though I shall be delighted to be wrong. Mine is also July security patch.
Well then, why don't they say that the phone is no longer being supported instead of "your software is up to date" which it clearly isn't.

Has the software update support stopped for oneplus 5t?
I doubt there will be a release until Q at this point. That's what devs are saying at least. The phone is 2 years old so now it's losing support.
they said we will get Android 10 but you might need to wait a little longer than before because the new device has come and they will provide the latest security patch to new devices first and then to older devices like our model.
U will get android 10 update in the next year... 2nd quarter starting
Sorry, but can we consider support for this terminal to be over, considering that it has not received updates since March?
Wrong. The last update received by this device was in April, with March security update. This device will still receive a full year of security updates based on the Android One program. Even if it seems wrong, they have to respect the program until end, or else they might end up like Huawei. But counting the fact that this device is also marked as Enterprise, that program offers 5 years of security updates. We will see, it's still early to make assumptions.
Hi all
I've last June patch on Android 10
It's still buggy I'm wondering if xiaomi will bring this device in to a stable version or not
Otherwise I'll downgrade to pie
Any rumors on further updates?
Thanks
Stefano
Yes, you'll get another year of Google Security updates as due to Google Policy. Didn't you read the little pamphlet that came with your phone? 2 year software updates aka. 2 major android versions and 3 years of security updates.
This months was an extremely slow month for almost everything, even Windows update was late (they also have monthly security updates). Mi A2 launched it's July update 1 day ago, so we're most likely going to get that next week, but don't worry, it's not going to be August Update, it's still going to be July update... and that's just a speculation based on what happened until now. Same thing happened in April, march passed with no security update and bugfixes, and the "fixed" (or should I call it at list not bricking phones) version launched in early April (3-4 if I'm not wrong).
So yeah, don't worry, you'll get updates until next summer, just remember, it took them a lot of months to make 9 stable too, and I'm not saying that as an excuse for their update delivery, I'm just saying that this happened (not as worse) back in A9 era too.

Sorry to somewhat disappoint but I don't want to raise your hopes too much. There will be things that will be missing from this software like AptX, or like exFAT support and so on. Remember, the SD card issues that Pie had were only resolved when A10 came out... It won't be a perfect device at the end of it's life cycle but at least we can hope it'll work fine... They actually fixed some problems in the updates they gave us until now, but it's far from being a well polished system. All we can do is keep out hopes up, and hope that they took their time to actually fix the errors reported in the forums (xiaomi forum, where a mod says he reports user bugs himself).
Many of us have some personal and confidential info stored on our phones. Timely security updates are critical.
That said, has anyone gotten a security update for this phone? I haven't gotten one since I purchased it on the day it was released. I'm still on the August 1st 2020 security patch. I thought Motorola issue security patches every 2 months. I reached out to them on this but the person that I communicated with had no idea on when a security patch would be available for this phone.
I love the form factor of this phone but I think outdated security patches pose a huge risk.
I'm on se the September security update

Did you get a security update or did it come with the September security patch when you bought the phone?
Motorola also told me that the August security patch was the most up-to-date. Go figure.
To be honest, I'm not sure if there was an update when I started using the phone, or if it came that way. The phone is less than two weeks old.
No problem. Thanks for the update. I got my phone on October 2nd with the August security patch on it. No updates from Motorola since.

Did you receive any update, yet? Mine came with the August patch, and an update was available as soon as I got the basic settings dialed in. I'm on the September patch now, which is still pretty dated in comparison to my OP8Pro. No further updates, or news, as of now.
Nothing yet. Still waiting. I check almost daily.
you should have the october security update. The Retail US channel got that late in mid november (me on the 17th). I purchased directly from motorola and use t-mobile sim.
motorola does quarterly security updates it seems and when you get the update it'll be a month old.
Nothing yet. I wonder if T-Mobile is the holdup. I bought the phone from T-Mobile on release date. Perhaps Motorola released the update to T-Mobile but T-Mobile has not sent the update to my phone yet?
Motorola also said this phone will get the Android 11 update. If it's dependent upon T-mobile and if T-Mobile is the reason for the security patch delays, I'm not hopeful.
when you go to 'about phone' in settings, under 'software channel' does it say 'retail us' or something else?
If so, You could try this method:
turn the phone off, remove the sim. Connect to wifi and check for the update then.
In 'about phone' in settings, under 'software channel' it says "T-Mobile".
yea...you have to yell at t-mobile then. they're in control of your updates.
edit:
you could try and use the motorola firmware flashing tool to flash https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/smith/official/TMO/
if yours is a lower version than that (you can verify in the about phone page under firmware version)
But firmware flashing that way vs ota usually means wiping the phone when it's being done.
Finally, I got an update today...
it looks like t-mobile just pushed that firmware out (if you go by the time stamp on the link i posted). So the phone is not delayed in seeing updates, t-mobile is just super slow at pushing them out.
though, they could have a different offset for their quarterly security updates than motorolla, as they're not much slower than motorolla (2 months vs 1.5 months). Considering you got November 1st's patch at the end of december and I got october 1st's patch in mid november.
I expect the next update we see for this device will be sometime in late february. Probably not going to see the OS update until mid next year.
Yep. I finally got it yesterday.
Wow. I went from zero updates in almost 3 months to two updates in just over 3 weeks. I was on the August security patch all the way until December 28th when I finally got the October security patch. Now, just a little over 3 weeks later, I got the December security patch today...
I feel a lot better about the phone now.
It's May 2nd here and I don't think I've seen a security patch for a couple of months now...?
No March update, no April update. So many bugs exist for months, nothing has been fixed. This device is dead! Do not cherish any hopes.
For sure i am not buying a xiaomi as next phone
It is always the same, if it is not famous or follows it products line is abandonated
