[Q] Australian Version P7 P7-L11 how to get 3.0

Hi,
Just picked up the Huawei Ascend P7 from the Australian Teleco Optus - trying to understand if there are updates to version 3.0 of EMUI? I cant seem to find much info or any firmware versions relating to this version of the phone I saw the update for Europe for the P7-L10 version? Any assistance would be great as have spoken a few times to Huawei direct and they dont know anything to help!!
Cheers

have you tried updating from Hisuite or from the phone update?

Hello,
To be honest the phone isn't that good at all, performance is kinda bad, chinese hardware, chinese software, no support for anything.
As far as I've searched on google, theres nothing about P7-L11 EMUI 3.0, sadly.
Even I am trying to exchange this phone for an LG Nexus 5 (older phone, made out of plastic, but higher performance with recent updates)
If I were you I would of gone back to the store and changed it for something more popular, since Huawei's P7 is the first 'flagship' phone introduced in 2014, yet its not popular at all with crappy performance but 'good' build quality (why would u wanna have 2 glass panels that are easily scratchable, and a camera lens thats made out of cheap plastic).
Sorry if I didn't help you very well, I've made the same mistake with this phone
Best regards,
James

Huawei is never good in providing updates fast!

I think unimportant... So even Google is guaranteed for only two years OS update for their devices.
But if want to get fastest OS update you can buy Google Pixel.

Huawei suffers poor and old dune picture saying that the update are late! but his is no longer true in particular for its collaboration with Google and the fact of wanting to conquer the European market. otherwise so as we announced android nougat for year end we will be in the first to have it.

Same problem

I'm in the UK and still no update. Not sure if it's landed in the UK for anyone to be honest. All previous updates have been OTA and I've not tried to flash anything or root my phone. On the Three network. Still on 4.1 and EVA-L09C432B166

The rollout of V7 for the P9 in the UK is really weird... Some people have it and some dont. A guy on here said he got the update & was with Three and in the UK. Here we have someone saying the exact opposite.
Can anyone work out this complex rollout method?
I bought mine from O2, It was Unlocked and Unbranded. I too am waiting for the update although mine is currently on EVA-L09C432B182

I'm on O2 UK too in the UK. No update for me either. I am on LO9C40B190. I emailed Huawei and got the usual speel about we understand your frustrations blah blah. They said they have released the update and it is now down to your carrier to release the update. Funny how O2 blame Huawei and then Huawei blame the carrier. I would just be happy to update manually with with a clear guide that should be provided and supported by Huawei.

Its rolling in batches(30000 i think)
But not via normal "settings->update" options but via HiCare, early access. So check that out few times a week. I got mine few weeks ago when I noticed info from HiCare.
I think its still in RC mode, so its not released fully.
PS. Please dont use such big font, especially in that style, I think even kids would not use ComicSans... especially in XDA forum...

So I think we just have to wait

So are you saying that Settings-Update is useless? The last OTA update I got (to B182) was thru this.
If I go into HiCare and select "Service", "OS update early adopters" it says "No Updates avialable"
If I go into HiCare and select "Me", "Check for updates" after checking it ells me "The current version is up to date"
Seems like Huawei are really confusing the hell out of people and making it as complicated as possible...
O2 are just as useless!
Apple have this properly sorted in that when its out, its out for everyone.

Can I ask everyone on O2 UK to email Huawei to ask about updates. If enough people ask they might lean on O2 to get there act together and release it.

I didnt said its useless. Read whole post. I said that right now its in RC mode(""Release Candidate"", its version after beta just before official release). I said that because its look like that, im not expert in that topic.
And no Huawei dont confuse people, its more about XDA and we(users) confuse each other, because If official update would be OFFICIAL, you would get it via normal update release.
But right now its not official, just like name suggest, its: ""OS update early adopters"". So its LIMITED to batch of devices every few weeks(i think, its just look like that).
Because that how I got last update, via that option, just like that I checked HiCare and saw notification that there is early update for 30000 users.
Not to mention that if you have branded phone from operator... Huawei actually have nothing to do with your update, because... guess what? you bought branded phone so operator is responsible for your updates! Simple as HeII.
Also dont compare Android update to Apple update, because:
1. Apple have just one model of phone and tablet with about 4 version supported right now(older devices)
2. They have the same system design and functions, beside few separate features of newer devices.
3. Apple use their own chip, and have really small amount to things to update in terms of hardware
4. Android is open system used by about 200 companies that use dozens of different chips, thousands different component and thousand different system design and style.
5. Huawei compared to other brands its not that bad, and I actually rather wait few months to have polished system than, for example other companies that throw update "just to be first" and then they need to send dozen of fixes for major component of system.
Also we should get real, Android 6 is not that bad, so I seriously dont understand your hysteric desire for update.
Honestly after I updated to EMUI 5... i dont see real difference from 4.1.1 beside few new themes and few different(and actually weird) placement of few buttons.
Honestly you will spend 99% time using separate apps and games from market, so beside different number of system you will not see difference.

Thanks Akinaro for explaining that. Makes complete sense now.
I guess we just need to chill and wait for the "Official OTA release"
I'm more than happy with v6, however, when you see videos of the latest and greatest... You get tempted & impatient!

still nothing

Huawei stoped update P9+ ?

Anyone know what's going on with Huawei and their updates.
VIE-L09
•Latest security patch 1 July.
•No new unapproved builds in FF.
Is this the end?

Hi !
It seems so, but Huawei was always scrimp with communication on updates.
It is very disappointing, no oreo, no more updates, flagship from 2016. The same will happen to other flagships from 2018, within 1 year they will be, too, forgotten regarding updates. so no more handset from huawei ((((. Huawei is about ONLY hipe around newer and newer phones, but they forget to update. Fooling users.
Even my 4-year-old Lumia 640 is regularly updated with spring and fall creators updates. LOL Microsoft.-))
As far as I know, FF works no more because of **** like server encrypting or something like this.
Who knows the future?...

yeah, Huawei sucks when it comes to updating their phones, it's a pity when phones are pretty good.

too much hussle, i have give up on Huawei. I stick with 7, working flawless and soon it's time for a new device

I agree, way to complicated to turn chinese, this device will have to do til something really interesting turns up. Whenever that will be. No Huawei though, a vendor which updates will have my attention.

I bought a LG G7 ThinQ instead, it is likely to get Android Pie as well, not developer friendly etc but a nice phone with SD845. It's exactly as long as the P9 Plus but less wide making it more pocket friendly. The dealbreaker was price (380€ in a campaign) conciderably lower than even Oneplus 6 and the ESS Quad DAC with 3.5mm headphone jack, I listen to a lot of music through premium cans.

P20 Pro OTA System Update Log UK

Yesterday received first update since January's upgrade to Pie. Sadly it just brings the security level from December 2018 to April 2019, version being 9.0.0.255 i.e not 9.1. Not only do we have Huawei's arrangement with UK network operators delaying updates, we now have Google under orders from the Trump adding another potential maybe permanent delay. If forum administrator agrees, perhaps this topic can remain open as an ongoing record.
[Huawei P20 Pro CLT-L09 9.0.0.255 (C782)]
[Google Play Services 17.4.55 (100408-248795830)] [SIM-free from Carphone Warehouse / O2 branded via GiffGaff]

Nothing on my o2. Such a shame that this device is not supported like some other brands.

Not really. That thread is not country specific; note I specified "UK" in the topic header. My experience to date is knowing when updates are being pushed in other countries or regions doesn't help much with regard to the UK owing to the special arrangement between Huawei and UK mobile network operators. While one Swallow does not make a Summer, it's helpful to know when a new update is released by one of the UK networks.

I had no updates from o2 since December. Plugged a Vodafone sim in and 255 arrived immediately.

Interesting! As you were just over three weeks behind my GiffGaff/O2 255 update you _might_ have received 255 via O2 had you waited a little longer (my previous update to 168 and December security patch was in January). That being said, perhaps switching sims puts you to the head of the staggered update queue of the changed network provider.
According to Huawei UK twitter feed :
The wait is finally over ?. We’re excited to launch EMUI 9.1 this July, to provide you with a faster, smoother and smarter experience. Elevate your performance: https://t.co/LBWyX0WO43 https://t.co/UMVRath1mO
End quote.
Are you staying with Vodafone or switching back to O2?

It’s my daughters sim, so can test again another time. To be honest, I have been using an iPhone XS and when I occasionally test the p20 pro again, the indoor photos are washed out and dark compared to the iPhone.

Let's just thank to the Huawei employee who is sharing this with us! Loool

3.1 received OTA in the early hours of this morning.
[Huawei P20 Pro CLT-L09 9.1.0.311 (C782)]
[Google Play Services 18.4.53 (100408-260559365)] [SIM-free from Carphone Warehouse / O2 branded via GiffGaff]
Brief observations :
Just under 4.5GB so long download.
During post-install restart the initial Huawei logo screen displayed for a very long time (several minutes) so don't panic!
Noticeable improvement in responsiveness although how long that will last remains to be seen.
Lastly, security patch level is July.

Why do they write about GPU turbo. Version C782 does not receive it

Nothing from o2 yet

From some very brief research I believe the only way of telling if GPU Turbo is installed is by the improved responsiveness when running a game that can use it. I am not a 'gamer' so have no way of testing that. What makes you believe the update package content information is incorrect?

Under "Build number" it will say "GPU Turbo".

I'm with Virgin media. Updated last night and my mic when making and receiving calls has gone to like a whisper. Iv wiped the cache but I'm not sure what else to do x

Is there any easy way to upgrade to 9.1 manually on a non-rooted UK dual SIM ? In the past Ive updated using Firmware Finder and VPN changes. does this still work ?

Which version have you updated to ?

311 rolled out to me followed by a small patch. Much smoother now. Pleased about the improvements so far.

EE rolled out 9.1.0.311 to my C782 a few weeks back.
The battery is now on par with my old iPhone 6s. They haven't rolled the patch out yet.
