I know something. I was told by a source that it will be mid-late October or early November. I know samsung has an October build of Oreo with user keys instead of engineering keys. This is for the T-Mobile varient. Also the old beta testing app from last year probably won't work.

Good, gonna join now.
According to this site, posted today (Nov 1) https://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-register-for-galaxy-s8-oreo-beta-program/ it states you have to go into the Samsung+ menu and 'register' for the Galaxy Beta Program. I don't see this anywhere in my Samsung+ app. I have a T-Mobile S8. Any ideas?
The registration & rollout have not begun yet. It "allegedly" (according to a couple sources) begins tomorrow (11/2). No clue where the one guy who has it got it from, as he will not say where he got it.
tomorrow 11am PST Samsung+
Tmobile beta registration is live here in Jacksonville fla... go check your Samsung plus app folks
I registered but no update yet
If you turn off Wi-Fi and check for updates it should start downloading the beta like it did for me.
10 minutes after registration today I am downloading OTA. Before registering, it said I was "up to date" , now have 1.4G downloaded..
Version G950UOYN1ZQJJ ... Installing now...
See you on the other side of the Oreo soon..

Lucky me, just got my Note 4 yesterday and checked for software updates just now and low and behold I'm receiving Lollipop, its a 1161.38mb download..
you sure it's lollipop? i know my note 4 received two updates in the past month.
Getting an update on SM-N10A(stock. not rooted) on ATT network. . Its a 1161.38 MB file. Will update on which version does it get updated to shortly.

And tell you it's TBD. My old co-worker who now works at Rogers looked into it and apparently Samsung isn't releasing that information. As he said it's policy it classify devices that don't get support as TBD as to not piss off customers. Aka it's a coin toss if they are going to release it.
AT&T isn't the same as our devices. The closest we can get is T-Mobile. If and when TMO gets the update we won't be far behind. At least we shouldn't.
Yeah, I know of that link and they have pointed me there before. I've had a dialog going with them actually. I would like to rattle their cages "in public" as much as possible and Twitter is a good way to do that. I really was surprised to just get the Note 4 about 2 weeks ago, thinking it was the current flagship phone and then find out they have no idea when they are going to release Lollipop on it. Just bizarre.
A coin toss? How can a phone that hasn't been out for even 5 months yet not get Lollipop?

I was referring to the 5.0.1 update. It's very possible they will just lazily skip it and go for 5.1
If thats the case we most likely won't see a LP update this year. Remember Samsung had the oportunity to start LP in June and it has taken them 9 months just to get to this point. Considering no Canadian Carriers have been informed of the update even arriving, meaning they have not tested them and that in turn could create another month or two of testing. It's also been disclosed that Samsung has no plans on working on 5.1 at the moment. Let's assume that they wait to give us 5.1 instead of pushing 5.0.1 out. Since they have not even started 5.1 we can assume they might start in two months (Highly doubt it would be that quick). Then if we take the first time frame we add another 9 months plus the fact they wait a month after they build (check the build logs) we are at a total time frame of 12 months out for a single update. Skipping 5.0.1 would mean a total of 21 months of development time before the first actual LP update.
Of course remember this is all assumptions and theory based on what we have seen so far and I could be totally off. At least I hope I am.

Just the usual AT&T crap... Google Service needs to be updated after Lollipop installs, GS took multiple attempts to finally install, otherwise you keep getting a notice that the update is required.. Not sure if was just me but I had to reboot a few times to finally get the Install option to pop up..
So far I'm liking Lollipop, Visually much more appealing..

I have been searching a lot since yesterday and can't find anything yet
Not yet. I'm in India.

Yep builds starting with NP are betas. I've still yet to hear of a single person getting the final build of N on a N6. Makes me wonder if there's an issue they found last minute.
In b4 thread closed again. The update isn't out yet, and I'm sure the second it is, someone will post links.
Closing Thread. Too many discussion regarding this.
I have been on the beta some time now and overall I'm enjoying but there are some niggles that I hope Huawei have ironed out.
Basically I'm wondering if there is any way that I can force an update/download or does anyone know of the official update release date?
Cheers,
DJ
I read officially February but I wouldn't hold my breath

Ha ha if only I knew how! I got on the beta by requesting from Huawei not my network (Three). They had nothing to do with it. Then after nearly a week of waiting to be accepted, I was and I dloaded the beta. Huawei announced last week that beta testers were going to get the alpha before other p9 users.
I think the beta may have been closed now though
Beta is closed the apk won't help, I am enrolled but as I rolled back can no longer update

There is a good chance that these things are still months away. You will probably have a better chance flashing the full update. I cant wait and want to get on nougat ASAP.
There are other ways available and I am sure it will be released in due course. How about contacting Huawei direct for U.K. roll-out. See what they say. I have read that the new update may come via HI-care so your provider wont matter.

I think that mine came through HiCare but from what has been said from. Huawei already, the version number I got was different from that which will be released to others outside of the beta.
My software doesn't seem to have any Three branding at all so maybe it is released without input from the carrier.
If you are on the beta the carrier will not have any involvement, you are now enrolled on "open eu" and will receive the UK unbranded updates going forwards

Ahh! But 2 days ago I had done a software update which was around 500mb. I thought that must be the December Security Patch. So getting a 800mb update just after the earlier update made me a bit happy that I was finally getting Oreo ahaha. But I guess..Samsung..? Always late in Upgrades.
I thought it would be coming last July, but it's August and still no sign of updates.
When it's ready you'll get it ?

Install hicare app from play store change your country as Singapore and check firmware update from app register for emui9. 1 and check systems update in settings. I got from this trick a month ago... But no major differences from 9.0 just caaler screen got changed like than small changes
Right lets get a few thing straight ..
1 - changing the country in hicare does nothing . The app cant be fooled !
2 - judging by the lack of response from questions i ask posters and the complete lack of screenshots of their alleged firmware updates
