Has anybody in the uk received the ota to august yet?
Or are the carriers still purposefully not allowing it. That's the official HMD reason they gave me recently . Lol
I'm on o2 no update yet
Whoever you talk to they will explain how updates work and you just need to be patient. 2 months I was waiting on my 6.1 with no update. Moved up to the 7plus as apparently there were no update issues. There is with the august one. They wont even look into it just give you the same spiel how it's the carriers etc etv etc. Android one?????? Still a good phone though
Strange, I am on EE and still no update on my 1055 but got the August update on my Nokia 8 1012, same carrier, 2 weeks ago. Go figure.

No update here on Tesco/02 either
On GiffGaff and no August update as yet
TA-1046 (this is the European dual SIM model) On 3 Ireland - no update.
Thinking to sideload.
Can you see any improvement after manually updated?
1055 in Ireland on 3 (Hutchinson) No update yet.
No update yet for 1055 on BT Mobile or EE in UK.
Sideloaded. Its definitely smoother and snappier.
No idea why HMD are ignoring this issue. These phones could steal market off samsung etc but the customer support is lacking here. Sad
No update with SIM card on the tray. After removing the SIM card and checking for update, the update appeared.
TA-1046, plusnet (EE)

Hi, I brought this phone last year on contract with EE and it came on B138 and since purchase have not received any updates. Is this an issue with my phone or EE as I contacted them and they told me to format my phone which I don't fancy doing. Has anyone received a newer update than B138 on EE locked. Cheers ahead for any help
No, that is the latest from them.
What processor does the stock UK Note on contract have from EE?
I am sorry that this has probably asked a million times but I can't find the answer.
Thanks
All UK networks sell the Exynos 8995 model. Snapdragon is only USA, Canada, Japan and China (H.K. & Macau). It's on the Note 8 Wikipedia page BTW.
Just a word to the wise. I got my last phone, the Huawei P9, from EE on contract. They locked it down with their own BS version of the ROM, then withheld updates for it. Huawei released the P9 Nougat update and security patch in January, but up until I switched it off a month ago when I got my Note 8, there was no update. EE blamed Huawei.
If you get an EE one, be prepared to have to root it and get a stock ROM on there to stay current. EE are lazy assholes.
My note 8 is ee.and there is zero bloat ware from ee.no ugly ee boot screen and no nasty ee software. Built in.it looks like it's complety unlocked. I've all ready had 2 updates since I've had the phone for 2 months so it get the updates as soon as there released
There actually is a little bit of bloat on the EE/EVR firmware, they bundle My EE and Lookout Security. What you get over and above that is VoLTE, you can't get that with the generic firmware but you do get Wifi calling with both XEU and EVR, presumably with BTU also.
I haven't seen EE branding any Samsung devices for quite a few years now, so no issue there as haircut123 noted.
As for slow updates, it seems that EE's sluggish updates have been resolved for Samsung phones for a couple of years ago. Their updates for the S6 range were almost criminally slow, S7 didn't seem too bad and S8/Note8 are running just a few days behind from what I've seen.
Hello,
I bought a Nokia 8 Sirocco on 1st July. It updates to 8.1 with June patch right after switching it on but I'm still missing the July patch. Has anyone received the July patch OTA in Germany? If yes, which provider are you using? I'm a little bit upset because I thought Android One devices should get August patch these days. Nokia told me it depends on the operator when updates are coming. Is that true? When are updates coming to the device in general?
Best regards,
Norbert
I got August security update a couple of days ago. I live in Norway, but I don't see that my carrier has anything to do with the security updates..
I also could not believe, that security updates are provider related but that's what Nokia support told me. Did you also received the July patch before?
Hi,
I have the august security patch but i`m still on 8.0 ... weird.
I'm still on June patch - getting more and more annoyed every day. If updates are not coming on time this device is completely overpriced and Android One is worth nothing!
Yeah, I got the July patch in the middle of July
Updates coming
Hi,
I have to withdraw my statement about the updates for the Sirocco. Nokia was correct they are provider related! My personal SIM card is from a reseller and uses O2 network (biggest Network in Germany by customer) and today there was still June patch the latest patch available for my device. Then I inserted a SIM card from Telekom (biggest network coverage in Germany) and received July and August patches just after rebooting.
I wasn't expecting that! How can it be? Are security patches still network provider related? I thought this is the big benefit of Treble that updates are provider independent? Updates are coming over WiFi - so why? Now I have to wait for the statement of my provider but I'm not confident about the answer. Maybe I have to change.
Best regards,
Norbert
My Sirocco is from Mediamarkt DE. I have used it with O2 SIM, and sometimes with SIM from Vivacom Bulgraia. Last week have no SIM card in. Today(7th sept.)I received August sec. patch. Android is 8.1 .
Mine is from MediaMarkt DE too (maybe same price deal ). I got a reply from my network reseller (Drillisch) today. They told me that O2 as network provider is responsible for the updates and so they couldn't help. If you search for O2 and Android updates you'll find a lot of entries with the same problem - not only in Germany, but a lot of Nokia devices. This is weird if you keep in mind that Nokia is a very small vendor today. I'm still investigating but if it remains like this I have to switch my provider.
Btw. is VoLTE working with you device?
VoLTE is active. I haven't noticed anything so I guess it's working...
And my Volte is active. But I dont now in depth what is Volte.
VoLTE is just calling on 4G/LTE network. LTE doesn't support phonecalls over GSM and our phones will switch to 3G/2G with GSM when calling.
VoLTE is Voice Over LTE and uses data to transfer voicecall in stead of GSM.
Probably not a 100% correct description, but you get the general idea.
Just checked when calling, and VoLTE is working fine ??
If you see it in the options of your phone settings it should work. My settings have no VoLTE options - this means it's not available in the network. I don't know the situation in other countries but in Germany you won't get VoLTE with low price/prepaid tariffs. Only O2 is activating VoLTE for all SIM's but apparently not for reseller - even though they told the opposite.
Got the August update last week too. Now the Bluetooth volume level is pretty low even though I enabled the "ignore max volume" in the developer options.
I just got September update - with my O2 SIM! :good: Now I'm completely confused! Big surprise for me.
Yesterday i also received the september security patch. I will not install it.

Beacuase Nokia (Hmd) refuses to unlock bootloaders. So if there will be a way to unlock it in the feature it will be based on a security bug (see the nokia 7 plus). But thoese bugs gets fixed with security updates and then you will no longer be able to unlock (again see the nokia 7 plus).

Didn't think that a promise of monthly security update can be something unwanted? I mean that's what draws people to buy Hmd phones no?
Does anyone have any information regarding updates coming to Canadian owners of this phone?
Are we at the mercy of our network provider or will Huawei send OTA updates?
Please delete if I missed the Canadian thread..

Rogers shows a security update. This week
Yet for some reason we still haven't gotten this! Still on August security patch, such bullcrap!

Anyone receive it yet? I have a Telus SIM in a Koodo phone and there's no update for me yet...
I got mine a couple of weeks ago and I'm with Bell
I'm with bell, no update here.
Koodo still nothin tried everything vpn different sim cards, hisuite, hicare, no sim, erecovery, firmware finder. Just ordered a nano memory card if the update doesn't show up I'm following Silvio's guide to flash it
I'm with Telus and I got the update on the day I got the phone which was Tuesday. The update showed up after my initial set-up.
Sent from my HUAWEI VOG-L04 using XDA Labs
Well that's a f'in fine how do you do. Brand new owner gets the update while we long time users wait twiddling our thumbs. Huawei Canada tweeted it'd be done by the end of January so I know that's BS. It's the 31st and still no update in sight.
I'm with Koodo and the update took place two weeks ago.
Update just dropped on bell
With Koodo and it's finally coming OTA as I type.
hello guys
I still haven't received 10.1 on my vog l09(p30 pro vodafone on .185) and unlocked handset
UK Based
anyone else has received it already?
it ia very concerning.
My P30 Pro is Three UK (branded but unlocked) and got the 10.1 update on June 4th.
My Mate 20 X 5G is on Vodafone (unbranded and unlocked) and the update for that was meant to be during June. I've tried swapping sim cards, and also using no sim via e-recovery and WiFi but the update hasn't arrived yet.
So I'm not sure if the particular network makes any difference.
I am sure of one thing though: Huawei suck at rolling out updates outside of China.
