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.

Android Q Update Confirmed!

Huawei confirmed is working on Android Q for Mate 20 Lite and other Huawei Phones!

Probably arrive sometime in 2021 unless you're in Asia of course where it'll be out in a few months after Google release it.

This will probably take some time. Also, add more time because of network companies.... ?

My wife's Mate 20 Lite (global ver.) hasn't received an 9.0 update yet but Huawei announce Q :laugh:

Huawei are great at talking.

Probably not, unless they're allowed to work with Google again. They have to work hard to get it released before that 90 day limit. But they did confirm the update, so I hope we'll get it eventually.

It's still bery early to say if the Mate 20 Lite will get the Android Q... despite what Huawei "says" today...
Android Q is still in development, so... there is a big gap between "say" that will support and really deliver the update... But again, is a unfinished version of Android, so...

Will we get the emui 10 update?

I looked at the features, and they were very promising. It even includes a dark mode!

Well, the phone's been out only a year so it should get it. Always worrying when you see the manufacturer promising updates for other devices but not yours. Why do they do that? I sold my Moto 5gs because of the lack of updates, so won't be buying them again. Ditto Samsung. Maybe i'll just get Pixel phones in future. I expect more than 12 months support (plus I read that Huawei/Honor were switching to quarterly security updates - we'll see). The Honor Play was very good value for money, and it would be hard to justify devices without SD card slots but I'm really not in the "get a new phone every year or two" game. My chromebook has an EOL date in about 5 years time; why shouldn't my phone, too?
Looking forward to the dark mode, although puzzled that it requires OS support.
With Project Treble and Mainline you'd think that Google are almost at the point where they can roll out OS updates behind the manufacturers backs.
Interestingly, looking at the Android dashboard, which historically has shown Android OS usage, you can see it's been down since May:
https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards
I wonder if this is going to come back in October when they announce the Pixel 4, and they're going to blow everyone away by saying Android 9 adoption has beaten all the other versions?

Probably, the biggest downside of honor and huawei phones is the lack of bootloader unlock codes, which leads to not much developer support. So I'm just always kinda looking out for updates

There is no official confirmation for Honor Play, unlike the Honor 8x or Honor 10 etc. Even if we do get the update, it isn't going to come anytime soon. Check this out: https://www.xda-developers.com/emui-10-android-10-update-timeline-huawei-honor/
The phone is still a massive value for its current price in terms of raw performance. I'm pretty content with it. Despite the quirks of EMUI, I've grown quite attached to it and will prefer it over almost all other android skins except probably full stock android...

Possibly, we might get Android 10 on Honor Play second quarter of next year.

I don't know how much we can trust this picture
But it's highly possible that we can forget about emui 10 for next 4-6 month for sure because emui 9.1 has been rolled out just yet

It is becoming obvious it will take time before Honor Play will receive EMUI 10 (if at all it will receive the update). It is not even on the list of Honor smartphones that will get Android 10 in the future. I am surprised to see Honor 8X included but not Honor Play.

Honor 8x got sales numbers. Honor play didn't

Honestly this is bull****. Why the **** people buy a ugly ass honor 8x with kirin 710 when they can buy a honor play at the same price

It is not getting. Honor service in twitter confirmed that Honor play is going to get next major android 10 updates due to "hardware limitations".
This is particularly strange because Honor play has Kirin 970, the flagship processor of Huawei of 2017-18. It is the same processor of the p20, which is scheduled for the update.
As Honor won't be sending it. Thus I am planing for unlocking bootloader in any way as soon as they push emui 10 update lol

oems have been doing it forever. it happened with my glaxy s3, galaxy s6 and now honor play. shame that these oems promise updates and then they dont accomplish it. only if honor allowed bootloader unlocking, it wouldnt be bothering this much.

But samsung have changed and now apparently promise 4 years of upgrades. The android one site is out of date and doesn't include the new £99, £129 etc phones nokia have announced which will get 2 years support. Seems funny typing it - like we should feel grateful to get support. It should be 5 years. But yes, huawei/honor aren't getting any more of my money. If you knew the honor play was going to get 1 os upgrade around 14 months after launch and that's it, would you have bought the phone. I wouldn't. Fool me once...

update /upgrade policy?

what's their security update policy? monthly updates? for how long? 3 years? what about major upgrades? android 11? and when will they upgrade the phone to Android 10? thanks

This was the response from Realme when I emailed them about software support,they didn't really elaborate on Android versions and security patches though I assume that is all included in the two years.
Hello
Greetings from realme Europe. Thank you for reaching out to us.
We would like to inform you that in general, we provide updates once every or 2 months, continue to update it for 2 years.
Warm Regards,
Team realme Europe

Thanks, I got the same email last week
Between the 2 years update and q2 android 10, I decided to move to oneplus, waiting for a mclaren...

Yes, probably a wise decision,I'm currently on the 6T and hesitant to move to Realme even with the top specs,you are safest with OnePlus in terms of reliability and support.

Thanks Manus, received my McLaren and it's indeed perfect! Last message in realme forum for now, c ya in 4 years :good::laugh:

How to get Harmony OS updates on Noh-Nx9

lots of developers received HMS updates on Chinese version devices for test,
we don't even get the internal test, how & when can we upgrade HMS?
anyone have new?

Accordint to them, NOH-NX9 is not MAte 40 Pro and hence not included in the list.
In addition to the issue unable to install GMS (only choice is ourplay), so I really want to use the word "total failure" for Huawei phones international version outside China.

to global its coming in december. Official annaucement today

It comes in december. But I'm afraid the GMS install ability depends on firmware region not OS. I hope i'm wrong.
