I've just got a P9 Plus from O2 as a repair replacement. It's still running EMUI 4.1.1 and Android 6. It says no update is available in the options.
Anyone got any idea when EMUI5 will become available for a UK handset?
Cheers
What is your current firmware number? (VIE-L09C........ or VIE-L29C.......)
Damn. I meant to supply that information in the original post then must have forgot.
My current version is - VIE-L09C40B181
Thanks!
Me too.
I believe O2 have had the firmware for testing for a while now, but haven't yet signed it off for Huawei to push to the handsets.
Using the O2 app I actually unlocked the phone today (my contract finishes this month). The unlock should take just a few days.
I'll be putting in a pay monthly (sim only contract) from 3 Mobile when the unlock has gone through.
So this might solve the problem anyway if it's an issue with O2 and not the handset or Huawei?

Probably not...once O2 have signed off the update *Huawei* push the update out. Your handset's IMEI number is linked to O2 firmware, so Huawei will ONLY push the O2 approved firmware to you...
Edit: I requested - and received - an unlock from O2 the day I bought the handset - about a year ago. No update...
Right, P9 Plus supplied by O2 UK users, wake up
Click on this link, Nougat should be on it's way in the next several weeks...

That was fast, released 30/09.
Smooth, fast, snappy. VERY aggressive Doze mode.
Happy days.
If I don't chicken out before the day is over, I will be ordering mine to use on AT&T network.
Please post USA network experience, rom versions, hints and tips, OTA (or other) method used to get updates, where purchased, etc.
In about two weeks I'll probably be ordering one for use on AT&T, also. Love to hear some experiences.
A very small percentage of me wants the HTC U11+, but my Huawei Mate 9 has been really good to me.

I have an Essential phone that is going back. It isn't terrible, but does occasionally lag. Mostly I don't like the size. and the signal level inconsistency. Also a Pixel XL 2 that is going back. The pIxel is such a nice phone - except for the screen. And I have come to realize I DO NOT LIKE the new extended vertical size format and that I enjoyed my Nexus 6 better than any phone I have had. The Mate 10 seems like just what I want. Although software updates may be nonexistent.
Just got my mate 10 from seller in ebay from Houston. Was in Chinese language.
Now I have to look into the rebranding stuff.
Didn't realize that would be the case. Maybe it's on me for buying from eBay. Will see if I can get used to it.

Good luck. Maybe check out the funkyhuawei site; my understanding is easy rebranding for a fee.

Let us know how well it works with AT&T. Do you mind saying where you got it and which rom version?
Got my mocha brown L29 yesterday I'm using it on T-Mobile and have not had any issues so far. I'm coming from the Huawei mate 9 pro and the mate 9 before that. I would have stayed with the mate 9 pro for a bit longer but I found a US seller on ebay who was taking offers. I had a $40 off coupon from ebay from recently selling a phone so $535 later I had purchased the Mate 10.
My only complaint is that he did remove the screen protector but ordered a tempered glass as soon as I purchased the phone it just hasn't arrived yet. Everything else was untouched seller claimed he didn't like the phone after playing with it briefly in his bedroom.

No I don't see an option for it on my model.
I've got VoLTE working on T-Mobile at least (thanks T-Mobile testers!). It should be possible to port over the AT&T blobs for VoLTE and wifi calling as well. I will post more news soon.

Sorry for the double post. Maybe I posted in wrong section before but this is great news! Will it work on the ALP-L29 C636 version with Tmobile? What will I need to do to use it? Will I need root? Load with adb? More testers needed? Thanks!

If you want to test, please contact FunkyHuawei support. You'll need an unlocked bootloader.
Also, anyone with a Verizon sim and a Mate 10 or 10 pro with unlocked bootloader, please let me know. I don't think VoLTE will work, but I want to try it to prove a theory.
So Huawei have (finally) released a date for the official EMUI 9 update for the mate 10/10 Pro and P20/P20 Pro. They state the update will begin on the 18th of December in Singapore. Sadly, they did not mention a date for Europe, or any other regions :/

Hopefully Singapore is a C636 model.
Hopefully the statement is for a Worldwide release and so for C636, C432...
I kinda doubt that it's for worldwide release, Huawei has a habit of "saying" one thing and doing another, so don't hold your breath waiting for the update. As usual of course the US version of the mate 10 pro (BLA-A09) probably won't see it at all.

Yep. All major sites reported Global rollout started early last month. Where is the update.
A big difference between China and Global rollout.
Huawei has been abysmal with updates. People can cheer how good the hardware is, with the prices they are asking for their newer phones without good software support not gonna even consider it.
Exactly

You're right with that one, I took a chance on buying the mate 10 pro (US model) figuring that they would honor what they had previously stated about issuing timely updates for their devices, man was that a mistake. No matter how good the hardware is if a company doesn't support their products it's a deal breaker for sure, I won't be buying any more of their products.
Monthly security updates, added night shot and face unlock, and most likely Pie in 2018, don't know what you people are complaining about.
US model owners is just bad luck that 2018 was the year geopolitics made Huawei untenable, the rest of us are getting great, regular updates.

Yeah, you're probably right on that one. Would be a big mistake on their part though as the US is a large market segment to just abandon. Not too many people will buy the international models that don't have a warranty, these things are too expensive for that.

Wouldn't be a mistake to them. The US government is actively trying to push Huawei out. There's no point gambling on the US market if the government can kick them with a flick of their wrist. Also, Huawei is not popular in the states. They are probably burning money trying to gain market share. If they don't see a good future, rather exit and cut their losses now than lose more in the future for no gain.
I will change to the Chinese region then, because now I'm in the European

Hi All
I almost bought the P30 pro from Dubai whilst on a long layover last week, but I stopped myself as I wasn't 100% sure if it would work back in the UK.
Does anyone know if phones are region locked and thus stopping me buying from Dubai and then using in the UK?
if there is anything else i should look out for, help would be appreciated
Thanks

unlocked meaning network unlocked?
also assume that the warranty would also be valid in the UK?

As long it's not a tied to telco set it will work anywhere and will work fine in the uk but may face some lte issues back in the states as there are missing bands and no, as far as i know, huawei doesn't provide international warranty like apple does. So, if there's an issue, you've to send it back to Dubai, provided it's an official huawei set from huawei dubai and not an imported set from a non reputable shop
Hey
Who had get the newest .153 version by OTA.
Here in Sweden we are stuck at .124
I'd contact support and suggest that it's better to send out updates worldwide.
They told as usually it's on the way but not when.
153 is avaliable only in China for Ota update. You should expect 140 first. Me thinks

Yesterday my P30 Pro arrived.
After setting it up, i searched for new firmware. My device comes with .124 and has installed .140 (about 330MB).
I´m in Germany, and my carrier is Deutsche Telekom.

YAYYYYYY, lets buy a expensive phone AND lets pay to get updates even faster. Sure! Go waste your money. Waste your money for something you get normal too.
For me FunkyHUawei is a FunkyB*tch
oh and when you brick your phone with there frickeling firmware and update processes you got a really expensive paperweight.
So are most of China on the latest version and the rest of us are 2 versions behind? I don't understand why we would have to pay to update via the funkyhuawei surely it should just be free? I've always used Samsung's but don't recall updates bring rolled out this oddly lol why aren't the updates so just released to everyone at the same time?
I don't understand how some places are 2 versions ahead and that's fair? Surely they are being given a better service and better looked after.
in Finland also .124

Exactly.
I'm in Canada, Carrier is Telus and I'm on .138, got the Phone 5 days ago not sure at what firmware it was on at, but got an update as soon as I turned it on, it is now at 138.
I'm in the French Caribbean island of Saint-Martin, and I had the update a few days ago, I'm talking about .140
With Huawei phones it is very dependent on the Sim you have in the phone. Even when the phone is unlocked.
My operator is a local Orange knockoff, but it must be loosely connected to the real deal in France, and thus I had the update.
In Thailand
Some got 153 about week
Some still stuck at 109
Btw I'm on 140
Wtf Huawei ?
Huawei random update.
Brand is suck
There is an app called update finder. I have downloaded and opened it on my p30 pro and it does indeed offer future firmware that we have no received yet.
It doesn't appear to be OTA though and I am far from an expert. I have included the link to the app. Hopefully someone here can make some use of it. ?
