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 ?

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

June Security patch out

281 mb in size.. Just this afternoon its out..No observable changes..

Thanks for the heads up, installing as we speak.

The security Patch works very good.

No update since May 2019 for TA-1085 in U.S. Nokia seems to be slipping on getting updates out. Went really well for several months, now 2 months behind. Not looking good.

It was supposed to happen at some point. They keep launching new phones every month. What do you think what was going to happen ?

How long will security updates be provided?

Nobody seems to be able to answer this one. Trump has extended the entity list inclusion until the 24th of November to facilitate existing Huawei devises. What happens after that date? Do the updates stop? Sofar its looking that way. Have you seen/read otherwise?

Good question.Not sure, but Huawei in general is pretty weak when it comes to security patches and updates. An example, Honor 8X only recently received July security patch in Western Europe. ( UK ). C432.

Indeed they are, for now. Beyond November 24th 2019 is in question. Well worth being aware of if you are thinking of jumping on an existing Huawei right now. Trump's statement on the extension looks like it could be curtains for existing devices too after 24/11

Good question. I was under the impression that existing devices would get updates indefinitely, and that new devices wouldn't .
For other reasons , I returned my mate 20X a couple of days ago. But was looking at buying another.
I'd normally say ask the Reddit, but like most places it's full of opinion rather than fact.

google made an early statement about huawie saying they have contirbuted alot to android and that the current devices will still be able to get updates and security patches and ofc access the app store.
but ofc as we were discussing above that we dont know for how long as nothing is certain or clear and with trump you cant really expect anything , as it was said they are giving customers a chance to migrate from huawei etc

its clear that no body knows what happens after 19 of november and to be honest i dont think trump will back off and allow things to work normally without some sort of a deal that gets him to win something etc.
so for now, if someone will buy a phone it will work out of the box but after that no one knows etc

A win will be and he'll get it, a couple of billions dollars worth of fines and easing of on tariffs and so forth for the USA and it's cronies. That's my opinion.
Anyone that hasn't been brainwashed and with half a brain matter will know that the originating issue has nothing to do with national security.
Me personally, I ain't worried about it all. Like I mentioned earlier I'd rather buy low if prices crash. Couldn't careless about the number one spyware Google.

exactly!
either way the deal on amazon uk was the mate 20x 4g + mpen+the cover case all for exactly 586 euros as good as it sounds it still quite some big money and since i wont be doing much here in egypt till i move to germany i might as well wait those couple more month and see what happens .
as for google, i dont think they will just block all older huawei phones from their servers and services etc bc all was licensed etc .
as for the updates and security patches, its said that huawei will wait for them on AOSP then push them to their devices etc .
also the 5g version price is going down so fast that its now 737 euros on amazon spain which is crazy tbh.
so as you said would great to snatch a deal if prices crash, but will it actually happen ? who knows.
i do use google apps tho like gmail, youtube, maps and definitly the store for most of everything else

Whether it crashes or not, one thing is guaranteed the prices will lower. Personally I don't think the mate 20x has fallen as much as it should have. In my opinion it should be $499. Bearing in mind it's almost a year old and has lost only $300. AliExpress has the Chinese variant for $497.

Does that mean we're getting it this year?

Take everything with a grain of salt. Mobile tech news when it comes to stuff like this is based on speculation from past trends. Two things to keep in mind, they will recycle the same stories every year because really it's about page visits and adrev. Not providing useful info. If anything they will be happy to come back and update because it means another visit.
The other part of that is that the software won't hit every region at the same time. So maybe someone gets it in December but then another region doesn't see it until Jan. Example being the bug in the beta that was locking people put of their devices. That delayed builds dropping in other regions until that was fixed.

I'm thinking more like January sometime maybe early February but again that is pure speculation. I believe it was January last year when Pie started rolling out to the flagships. I had the S9+ at the time.

I HIGHLY doubt the carriers will roll out this year. I would expect late Feb/Early Mar for US carriers. The betas haven't even hit them as of yet

The beta probably won't hit the carriers if the note 9 is any indication.

Considering the s10 beta came out Oct 14th and it's still on beta til now then I would doubt note 10 will be out of beta by the end of the year. Note 10 beta started Nov 13th for the US unlocked.

S10 got the stable release today, it seems that we're getting it sooner than we expected

not really entirely different bugs on our beta, January earliest

What u need fixed?
If it's because u need update to get a rush for urself, u must buy a new phone and then get a lot of updates/fix.
For me personally it's the best having a phone which not have the needs for updates to fix a phone with lots of problems.
Who like a phone with problems???

I was hoping the latest update would have included that. They're certainly taking their sweet time to roll it out. Ridiculously long imo.

Broke notifications again to Wear OS watches and my Polar watch.
Edit: After a day of getting no notifications to my watches, a little over two hours ago, everything just started working as it should.
Can anybody explain how that can happen? Thanks.

After the last security update, all notifications to connected Bluetooth peripherals was lost.
Tried forgetting and matching up again, but nothing. Turned on and off, but nothing. The only thing that worked was factory resetting my phone.
