Why I don't get the android 7 update?

So recently my friend whom also has a huawei p9, showed me that he got an update on his phone. It was the android 7 with emui 5. I checked my phone settings to look for updates available, and unfortunately, my huawei says there are no available updates. Why is it the case? How can update my phone?
Thanks you all;
If you need more information iwill provide that...

I dont know why huawei is always like that when it comes to updates. btw instead of checking or waiting for it come to your device you can look for tutorials here on how to manually flash the update. :good:

Huawei is not alone in this situation. So dont start bashing it so soon.
Right now, only 6.6% of ALL android devices is running on 7.0(data from official Android dev Dashboard).
And for update for P9, its mostly regional problem, so as @cheeze.keyk mentioned its best to update it manually.
But I seriously cant get my head around that idea of people crying for update... Because to be honest beside different number in phone settings, and few really small changes in look, there is no difference at all... its not like update will make your phone super-mega-ultra better than before or release some hidden features or make it super faster. Its just a bigger number in phone info...
And I can bet my own P9 that someone could put on your phone android 4.4 that just look like EMUI5 and you would not notice that...
When I still where using Sony devices, I rarely update them... and guess what? No problems at all, device was fast as always, there is no compatibility problems(honestly I have android TV that still work on 4.0 and I can watch YT or stream media without a problem...)
So overall if update dont change anything significant or fix some major problems, worrying about lack of update is not something that you should be sad about.

In some cases, making a hard reset, the OTA appears.

In my case it was the provider. After I changed the sim, nougat was there.

I have the same problem and it's not down to Huawei. My phone is a branded phone (Movistar , Spain) and it is up to them to release the update. After 5 months I am still waiting, God only knows why. For this reason I will never again buy a phone from a service provider, especially Movistar, as you pay for a top of the range phone and are reliant on them to release the update as and when they feel like it. I have just tried updating it myself but have only succeeded in de-branding it so need to try again. Could be that you have the same problem. Good luck.

Software Updates

Does anyone know where i can get a ZIP of the latest OTA update for the ATT version of the axon m. My phone will not get software updates over the air and idk why.

Having the same issue now, always giving "Network unavaliable".
Running CN 1.9 and I'm located in The Netherlands. The ZTE website barely functions and I can't find any .zip with the update
I'm no longer using the axon m as a daily driver due all the bugs and issues I'm experiencing with this device. The hardware is solid but the software sucks

Same for me here. It's apity because they promised we will get Oreo in may. Let's hope, that they bring the servers online again some time.

Server for updates and forum down... stuck on 1.11.

Till now offline...

Been trying to figure out whats up with the updates, the following error is logged:
com.zte.zdm.g.a.k: Unable to resolve host "dmcn.ztems.com": No address associated with hostname
Seems like someone changed the DNS at ZTE without realising some services might depend on it .......

I really do love this device, but I think at this point it's best if I offload it for as much money as I can recoup because I doubt this thing will get any future development, let alone updates.

Till now blocked and... Did you see also the ZTE Market is out of range?

Servers seem to be back online. No "network unavailable" error anymore!

Can confirm, servers are back online

Huge 3.2GB Update arrived!
Axon M CN 2.0
Downloading now...

Hi,
I confirm. Yesterday the CN 2.0 with Android 8.1.0 was installed via OTA for my chinese Axon M ... putting disorder in my custom GAPPS installation.
And this update drain the battery very fast, 5 times faster but is very nice and ... faster. I am searching why (for the battery) reinstalling GAPPS, mainly the accurate Google Service.

I can confirm every point. Except the battery draining. In the beginning the beattery drained very fast, but after 2 times reloading it seems to get to normal again. The update feels very smooth and brings many new settings but also one huge problem. As you told every google App does not longer work properly, or the apps can't get the connection to the google servers. I tried everything. deinstall everthing, reinstall the apps...always the same...the problem seems to be the "google play service" app. I don't see any other chance now and will do a factory reset in the afternoon.
Please keep us informed, if you bring the Gapps back to properly work. I will do the same.

If there is a solution please let me know. I had the same problem after upgrade to AXON 2.0. Battery drain damn fast and cannot use Google apps.

...didn't work. I'm very disappointed right now. Had to switch back to my Axon 7. Hopefully it will work again with a futures google play or Firmware Update. I will wait a few weeks.

I confirm, servers are online but no updates so far. I am with the CH version.

When I flushed the Japanese docomo version(M Z-01K) ROM with microSD card in the Chinese version (6G / 128G), I could not use the mobile network, it was displayed that the model was different, and the Chinese version ROM could not be flushed.
Is there any way?
I used google translation.

HTC Desire 10i (Pro Dual Sim) Latest OS Update

My HTC Desire 10i (Pro Dual Sim) factory unlocked device just now received a 192mb size incremental update. The update took a good 20 minutes to complete. No cosmetic changes found. Mine is a factory unlocked device which might be meant for Taiwan/Myanmar markets but I am using it here in Canada Fido network with no issues except for weak signal occasionally.
Details:
Android version: 6.0.
Software Number: 2.22.709.2
Android Security Patch Level: March 1, 2018
Did anyone else receive this or similar update? Also an unrelated question. I see that my device doesn't have HTC Music or HTC Gallery. Instead, it comes with Google Photos and Google Music. Is there a way to get access to HTC's own music and gallery applications that can be fully functional in this device? I don't want to either unlock bootloader or root device. Any valuable inputs are welcome.

Yes I did receive the update (update citing improvements on a Chinese carrier LTE service) after manually checking for it.
HTC are using Google apps now because they want to at least make Sense Home more streamlined with a more stock Android feel (plus I imagine that they want to cut down on the hassle of maintaining their propriety apps)
So you either use the stock Google apps or download third-party apps for what you are looking for.

How is your phone behaving on the Bluetooth front after this update? Bluetooth was never solid in this phone but I find it has gotten worse after this update. It loses Bluetooth connections very frequently; like every five minutes. Any idea?

prmbasheer,
Bluetooth is fine for me, granted I have used it with something that requires a prolonged connection, but I will test it out with my Bluetooth headset just to be sure, I only transfer small files with Bluetooth but I have switched to transfer via wireless which is much faster of course, I will test it out during the weekend and I will let you know if I have the same issue or not.
Cheers

Hey there, I tested my Bluetooth headset (skull candy sb2) for more than 12 hours and I am to report that I did not experience any connection interruptions.
Perhaps the radio on your phone needs to be checked, but can I be frank, this phone is ok, not great by all means, they [htc] obviously have no plans for future OS updates, my advice to you is sell this phone and get a new one, I'll probably do the same down the road, that's just my opinion.
Cheers.

This device is widely reported for Bluetooth issues. I am glad your device has no such issues. I am using a smartwatch and the same earphones you tried. So, it is basically two devices I need to be connected to this phone but it fails terribly. Every 5 - 10 minutes one of the devices keep disconnecting and reconnecting. So, now I have started using my other phone (LG G6) and this is stored for later use or as you suggested, a sale.

XZ3 slow/problematic after Android 10 update

Is it just me or anyone else finds that their XZ3 is very unstable after Android 10 update?
It was already kind of slow although it was suppose to be quite good phone, but after Android 10 it is just annoyingly slow.
Can't have few apps running. For example, If I have firefox with youtube video playing and messenger active, it takes 5 seconds to switch between them. Reset didnt help much.
So the question is, is it just my phone or everyone noticed that it is slow now?

Problem Xperia XZ3
Have this phone myself. After the update to Android 10 many problems that you can find overall on the internet. Hopefully there will be a re-release for Android 10.

We need more information about the Android 10 update.
First of all, the XZ3 was participating in the Android 10 beta testing, so you'd have thought the official release of Android 10 would be less buggy than it might have been otherwise, as opposed to more.
Secondly, some people do not seen to be experiencing problems with the update. This always seems to happen with updates, especially major ones, and no solid reasons are ever found. because of the lack of details that users post when they have a problem.
I'm in the UK on O2, and XperiFirm shows that O2 have approved the update (and did so several weeks ago); but I can't get it, so presumably Sony have blocked it. I'm glad that they have, if there's a risk it could cripple my phone. What I woud like, however, is some information from Sony and Google/Android, stating the problems and if they're working on them or not. Sony specifically stated that the XZ3 will receive an Android 10 update, and then at least security-only updates for a while yet. Clearly something has got in the way of these definitively outlined plans, and I don't want to wait forever before someone either from Sony or O2 UK tells me why.
because of what I've said above, can people on here posting about the XZ3 Android 10 software update state their country and mobile provider please? When talking about software updates, either OTA or via cable, these details which don't take a second to mention are vital. Just the country won't do, and just the provider won't do.

As I have been trying to get answers from Sony support, though I`ll register just to share a message I got from them today:
"We have recieved a few reports regarding the issues that you are experiencing with your Xperia device.
We have escalated it further to our developers and they are currently investigating the issues.
We do unfortunately not have a set date for when or if there will be an update.
We thank you for your patience."
The "or if" part made me concerned...
But in the weekend I did completely reset my xz3 and so far have nothing to complain about - everything looks and works good (but I did the long road - didn`t use backup, but set everything from scratch (except Nova launcher settings).

Dont be. It hasn't even got a master update. We will probably get Android 11 as well since sony has a two year update policy.

Problem Xperia XZ3
I read this on internet but can not tell it is true.
Sony Xperia XZ2 & XZ3 Android 10 update re-released with the same software build version.
Sony started rolling out the stable Xperia XZ2 and Xperia XZ3 Android 10 update in early January 2020 following the release of the same OS to the newer Xperia 1 and Xperia 5 in late 2019.The update was released with software build version 52.1.A.0.532, tagging along all the goodness of Android 10 and a new security patch level to go with. But it wasn’t long after before annoying fingerprint and alarm bugs, among other bugs, started showing up on both Xperia XZ2 and XZ3 units that had just switched to the new OS.
While it’s sometimes usual for issues to pop up here and there after a major software update, this wasn’t the case after the Xperia XZ2 and XZ3 Android 10 update. As a result, Sony halted the rollout in order to fix the many issues in the initial firmware. Nearly three weeks later, the Japanese tech giant has now resumed rolling out the same update to the two series of devices. For some reason, though, the update is arriving with the same software build version 52.1.A.0.532 released last month, something that is causing confusion.
Despite keeping the same firmware version, we want to believe the re-released Xperia XZ2 and XZ3 Android 10 update has been patched and it’s now bug-free. But of course, we can only be sure after installing and actually using the updated firmware. Reports of people whose units have picked up the update are still scarce to come by, but a quick look at the Xpericheck website does confirm new firmware updates available for the Xperia XZ2, XZ2.
Yeah, all four devices are receiving their Android 10 updates with the same software version 52.1.A.0.532, but as usual with OTA updates, it may take some time before all units out there receive the download notification.

It is not a new version. It is the same buggy as hell one. When Sony fixes bugs, always changes the build number.

Problem Xperia XZ3
Today xperia update 52.1.A.0.618 arrived in the Netherlands
Fingerprint still not working correctly

For me the new update from 4th or 3rd of march wiped one app which I am not sure was it as I had 60 apps before update and now I see only 9.
nNyway they deleted or did something to ringtones bcs suddenly I can not find my beloved Eastern Sky ringtones in the stock ringtones folder.
Already did the clear cache/clear storage thingy for Medai Storage app but no the file is not in the phone anymore. I checked with total commander and was searching for the Eastern Sky ringtone but nothing at all.
So I have to download my beloved stock ringtone. WTF Sony ???

I hope now that they might have fixed the teething bugs with Android 10, O2 will deploy the update. Xperifirm tells/told me that they had approved the Android 10 update over a month ago, but obviously either Sony or O2 UK were holding it back, because I'm still on Android 9. I'm happy if that was because the update was defective, but I'm getting a little bit impatient now. It's easy for big companies to forget how much an individual has paid (for the phone and the contract) when it was over a year ago. I expect my XZ3 to be updated until December this year, when it will be two years old and I can have an upgrade/leave option.
Xperifirm tells me that O2 UK have approved the latest update, i.e. the second Android 10 version:

About 3 hours after I posted that, I got the update, OTA. Now I feel a bit silly.

I had this problem so I went through the settings and found a setting that had the mobile data running when connected to the WiFi so I turned that off and restarted my phone and its been running smoothly ever since.

After the latest updates 52.1.A.2.1 all bugs seems to be
fixed. no lag issues, fingerprint works good, HDR videos plays great. There is one issue with this device that battery drains fast.

Nice to here. Vivo is taking actions hard and fast, But still we should not get these bugs in Flagship modules.

Bringing out the scam companies like Samsung, Vivo are doing. Am using Vivo X70 pro plus. Recently I updated my software OTA push to 36.9.7 (from 36.8.) but took a camera sample before update. Immediately after update took another sample i matter of 15 min gap. There was hell lot of downgrade. Plus other bugs impacting day to day usage. Wanted your help to voice this out. Below are the identified issues beimg faced.
1. Camera quality is greatly downgraded
2. Background apps getting auto closed like Nova Launcher, SD Maid, Accu battery, etc. Thus accessibility service also not working linked to these apps as tgey are automatically getting off. This was not there before the update.
3. Amazon app is getting auto closed at payment selection page every time thus amazon app now not useful.
Attaching unaltered image sample before & after update.
3.3 mb is the one before update
3.5 mb one is post update (see tubelight & flower design on the matress, etc)
Can someone guide me on how to voice tjis to Vivo. This is malpractice as I suspect deliberate downgrade of camera & other bugs.

I dont see a downgrade or a difference at all here.

Look at the light, in post update image its bit spread, less t star
Also if you compare flower images on the left, you will clearly see that new images has distorted details clearly evident
