Hello! It's currently 31st of August, 2018 in my timezone here in the Philippines, and yet no GPU Turbo update as announced by Huawei.... did anyone got the update in their phone/s already? I received the night / low light update around 1st week of August, but no significant improvement...

In some countries, the GPU Turbo update is already in deployment. Just wait and stop complaining.

I got the update few days ago. I have Mate 10 Pro and I live in UAE

you don't complain if in the first place they didn't set an expectation within the month of August? better not promise and over deliver

Hopefully, we will get ours too... hahaha can't wait to see the changes :good:

Virtually two games are supported by the GPU turbo. I have not noticed any changes since updating. BLA-L09.

Me too. Not really a big deal update for me.
Im more interested in getting camera updates and updated camera ui like
the P20 Pro series.

Hmm ending the 1st week of September without update..

I got the update on my ALP-AL00 8.1.0.326(C00) a week ago. But apparently, it breaks Magisk and you won't be able to root.

I' m definitely with you on this, hopefully they all bundle together with the next update

For anyone that owns a US BLA-A09 etc. I emailed a US Huawei support member regarding GPU turbo for the U.S. they responded me with a "I can't confirm or deny your country will be receiving this update" comment. It was really sad with how shady they are being. My money is on no GPU turbo for the U.S.

most of the updates are delayed most of the time because the huawei approvals for installation process, I've just got the update today morning a few minutes ago actually, im just waiting to make some testing w/o it and see the phone performance to see if there is a real improvement, update its just 340 mb so it seems like no much added besides the GPU Update

My Mate 10's version is ALP-L09, but it still did not get GPU turbo... Anyone using ALP-L09 Version? Did you get it? I also did not get face unlock yet.. :/

I've got the Mate 10 ALP-L29, still no GPU turbo update, and on July security patches, even though FF says that it's approved for my device, no update can be found using the phone app, or even HiSuite.

Security Update

Has anyone gotten even so much as a security update in recent months? I haven't had an update since March and I'm still on the February security patch. Seems like other flagship phones are at least getting security updates and at least every other month if not even every month for some phones; yet it's been four months for Razer with nothing.

Yep that's the state of things. RP1 hasn't had anything in over a year. It got one major update and nothing since. I'm figuring that's what's going to happen with the RP2. As much as I like these two phones I believe they have been my biggest mobile mistake. Hate the fact that I'm still paying for RP2 through att.
Sent from my Razer Phone 2 using XDA Labs

I occasionally comment on Min-Liang Tan's unrelated posts about this very issue

Pretty sure they've abandoned it, because they did the exact same thing with the RP1 - release a few minor updates, then one major one, and then it just stopped. I've asked support, but they said that they have no plans on releasing any security updates - I guess they don't care about security at all?

I know they've abandoned their phone production, cancelling the Razer Phone 3 and sending some of their techs to other divisions while firing the rest. Who knows if they'll have a few guys on to keep up with updates and security patches... ??*

Razer could have bucked the expectations by providing maybe even 18 months of support for this phone.
If they've chosen not to, they've just validated all the naysayers who warned us not to put our trust in Razer.
I'm still really liking the phone, but... March 2019 security patch isn't looking too good at this point.

Hers is the response I got from them on the subject of the missing security patches for my 1000$ paperweight. this is after pointing them to the google webpage for the monthly patches that they could not seem to find or were aware of.

Thank you for your humble reply.
I really appreciate that you have provide us the details which we required to investigate further on your inquiry. Thank you once again Thomas.
I have studied on the link which you have provide to us and brought for you the best answer. From the link, i have learned that the Update 9.0 Pie security patch for Razer phone 2 will be last update on February 5, 2019.
Android Pie has optimized the application startup and DEX memory usage. It’s not very easy to measure, but Razer claims about an 11% reduction of rewriting DEX files, which by itself will make the overall system perform better and makes the users feel more comfortable. Our engineer team is working hard together with Google to come out with new update as soon as possible.
For your kind information, Android device and chip set manufacturers may also publish security vulnerability details specific to their products such as Google, Huawei, LG, Motorola, Nokia and Samsung at the moment.
I hope you have understand on my explanation. Feel free to contact us back.
Thank you and have a nice day ahead!
Sincerely,
Ken
Razer Technical Support

They build a phone, take premium money from you, but aftersale support, they just don't know. They are clueless.

only hope is that they upgrade it to android Q and enable mainline so the security updates are less of a problem...

Question Did anyone get no update at all

A bit worried that all regions get an update or even more than one, and I am sitting here waiting...
S21 ultra exynos, Mena region
Am I alone?

I'm with you as well. UK, Three network and no update since AUAC just after I received the phone.

Nothing for me here in Australia yet

Same here on my US Unlocked version. I ended up just downloading the firmware manually and updated in odin without wiping.

Same, still on AUAC version, Jan security patch. There were two updates since I got the phone in the first few days of Feb.
I'm in New Zealand.
Samsung seems to do a very slow staged approach which I guess is so they catch issues before they affect too many people. But it is a bit frustrating when you really want to see the camera improvements...

I didn't even get the updates you mentioned.

Guys, be aware of the fact that it takes Samsung a few weeks (up to month) to push out each update to every supported CSC. I literally just got my update (that released on 2/11/21) about five minutes ago, lol - and that's in North America.
So don't expect to get each update with this device as soon as it launches in one specific region. You just have to wait a little longer with Samsung devices (or, you can do it manually if your update is already publicly available online).
But with all of that said, this update is only around 350mb and is listed to only contain the February 1st security update and another camera performance increase update. So no worries, people! (and someone can make a pinned post with some of this general information if they want to. This is our community development forum, and so I want people to know what's going on out there).

Not so much that, but carrier versions need carrier approval.

T-mobile US I had to search for the update but just installed it.

How? Same carrier and I've got nothing

Sadly there is NO CLEAR thread that explains in SIMPLE terms, for what exact model, what firmware version need to be installed in order to avoid data wipe.
Example XXUC = you can install only XCI, XCP, and XCR version safely without wipe.
Version IUYC = you can install only xxx, xxxx, and xxx version safely without wipe.
Every thread that i have read, looks confusing, does not state what can cause brick, what to keep an eye on, nothing!

Question CPH2173 firmware updates

So I've noticed something weird going on with the firmware of my FX3 Pro. Early April I received a firmware update with March security patch and some small fixes.
However when keeping an eye on the firmware info i noticed the date next to the firmware version is changing. So now it says 04/28/2021 while it started on 04/03/2021 but no updated firmware came by.
So why would Oppo change the date while no update came in?
I do think they should be ashamed for not providing monthly updates ( at least security patch ) as promised.
Now I don't care to much about the security patch but I'm eager to see the next firmware because latest turned out to be very bad when it comes to battery an performance.

One of the reasons Why I'm returning mine and exchanging for S21 ultra at least Samsung provide monthly updates and timely software fixes man this phone ain't even listed on the colour os firmware update page

I think there was a minor update which pushed out via the Play Strore in late April, which may be where the 28th date comes from (my phone shows the same date).
We're only 4 days into May so far, so give them a chance to get this months' update out.
(for comparison, OnePlus only "promise" 1 update every 2 months, and frequently fail to do so; and Samsung aren't anywhere near as good as they claim)

Yes, disappointing.
To clarify , what security patch is everyone on?
I have the 28/4/21 update , but that came with the March security patch.
My Samsungs and pixel are on May.
They promise monthly security updates on their website. They have failed at the first hurdle with the X3Pro. Not great going forward. Think failing that simple task is swaying me to sending it back.
( The average for my Samsungs the past 5 years is a monthly security patch on the 7th every single month and 2 other bug fix updates if they don't coincide )

My old FX2Pro is running May security patch ( my wife is using it now ) but our FX3Pro is placed behind in the line of updates.
However the security patch isn't my biggest concern, I can miss a month or two. BUT that previous update killed the performance and is eating my battery like sweet pie. On previous firmware the performance was flawless, with the latest it's bad. I'm eager for a new update hoping they will fix the issues and make my device perform again like it did when it came from the box

@patensas is your x3p still on the March security patch ?

Same march security pretty lame tbh

I've got the April update on my phone, not sure why non of you have ?

@boomdox where are you / provider.?

Hello, I'm in the UK with a Vodafone branded firmware I believe, mainly due to the vf in the firmware name. It's not heavily branded mind. I've had updates twice now in 20 ish days of owning the phone, so not sure why people are complaining, so far, the updates are in time with what my note 20 ultra gets, and this is a much better phone than that.

Where are you seeing VF in the firmware name ? I might be being blind here.....

I received the last ( April Security Patches ) on 29/4/2021
Update numbers : A16
Malaysian Version .

Top peft

@boomdox thanks. .
Now , bizarrely mine is a EE phone. But has CPW in that version. Thought Car Phone Warehouse was defunkt ?

I'm not sure to be honest, to be honest though, the branding is just the Vodafone app, and that's it's, nothing daft like with Samsung phones

user154 said:
I second this, the only difference I think Im on day 19 and I don't own a note 20. My previous phone was a pixel 4, which obviously has a much better update schedule. However this phone blows it out the water in every other way, so I'm more than happy with it.

This is already way ahead in terms of battery than my note 20 Ultra with the same battery capacity. Plus it's 100% better felling in the hand. So more comfortable.
Did get a response from Oppo about one of my "bugs". Turns out the theme store is not supported in the UK. So that's why it's empty.

I'm also in the UK, on an unbranded phone bought directly from Oppo (I've got CPW in the firmware code as well)
Still on the March security update as shown in the first screenshot

Thanks mate. Bit of searching on the x2pro and looks like, confusingly, CPW is the name for unbranded fw. Seems like it's last for updates......

Completely off topic, anyone else received there free gifts for pre ordering the x3 pro, mine has turned up today, and the box they all turned up in is amazing looks like something the YouTubers get when they do an unboxing

Question Android 12 in North America / USA?

Hi everyone, the day is Jan. 17th at the time of this writing and my Zenfone 8 still has not received an update prompt for Android 12.
Before anyone tells me to just manually download 12, I want to know if this is just happening to me or if Asus is holding the update. In addition, I wouldn't want to download the general Android 12 update if a US-specific release is on the way.
Has anyone in the United States – or North America in general – received the OTA update yet?

I am not in the US but afaik no OTA was released in Europe (and the rest of the world?) either. Yet - curiously - A12 is final since v73 and had already received an update to v81. Both these versions (and the older v68) work very well for me - but I did do a full reset after installing v68.
I generally dislike A12 (some poor design choices), but on the Z8 it works much better for me than A11. Battery life is definitely improved substantially.

Great to know your battery has improved. By far my biggest gripe with my ZP8. As far as the design choices go, what are some of the things you dislike about A12? I was hoping the design would be an improvement over 11.

Bar icons and notifications design. Awful. Read a generic A12 review to get acquainted.

February 9th and STILL no OTA update from Asus! I heard they were slow with rolling out updates, but c'mon—I'm getting old here!

Feb 19th and I still didn't receive Android 12 ?!

Slow?! They showered us with updates until A12.
And even with A12, they quickly put out of updates. The latest version is, in fact, an update (without a new security patch) of the first official version released in the final days of December.

They said on Zentalk that they stopped the A12 rollout temporarly to fix a bunch of bugs and crashes. They also said they might provide a last A11 patch as I think A12 soft bricked some devices. I am currently on A12 and I don't have any issues besides the usual glitch here and there.
