Nokia 7 Plus October Patch?

Where is Nokia 7 Plus's October patch and why ain't anyone talking about this? This security fix is a major flaw in the linux kernel. Why are they delaying the security patches now?
EDIT: October Patch On Nokia 7 Plus Was Provided On 30th October 2018 (109MB). No Bug Fixes Though.

Everyone got their piece of pie hence nokia has moved on to giving timely updates for N7+

Not everyone has Pie. On a Nokia 7+ TA-1055 (UK) and still no Pie.

I suggest to sideload Pie and wait no more...

TA-1062 in the US - got it last weekend. No October patch yet, though.
Split-screen implementation in Pie sucks. Not terribly fond of how you remove apps from queue, either. Everything else is just fine so far, though.

This is exactly what Xiaomi did to Mi A1. I don't know what's wrong with HMD. First, their devices are insanely priced. Second, they prevent us from using our device the way we want by not allowing bootloader unlocking (official). And now they are not even being punctual on providing monthly security updates.
Disgusting!!

They'll get the same treatment I gave Xiaomi when I bought this phone. I'm not getting a Nokia again. Next in line will be OnePlus...
edit:
This is too good to keep for myself:
ps: may have messed up the regular customer part but you get the point xD.
ps2: after it timed out and I marked the issue as not solved another support agent, this time in Portuguese, tried to start another chat, but since he failed to check the chat log I ignored him...

they have too much phones out there right now, remember even the new nokia phones recently introduced came with the android oreo, really shame.
and as time goes, hmd become worst and slow with the updates.
apart from the 7 plus, other nokia phones are still on android oreo.
And give me, ´always up to date´ speech

Same.. 1062 in US. And hate the split screen implementation. Also the longgg swipe to get to the apps. I disabled that gesture setup for that very reason.. pity google forces this for pixel 3. I will use Nova if they ever do this for my phone.

They have the means to contact every single N7+ user and send a message with that information.
"Subject: Nokia 7 Plus October Security Patch
Hello dear user, due to our inability to provide the update in time(or any other bs excuse by Nokia) we will be skipping the October Patch and will deliver the November patch in the normal schedule. Sorry for the incompetence(inconvenience), Best Regards, Nokia Support"
It would be this easy but instead they went silent...

I don't understand, the US seem to have pie, where the phone hasn't been officially released (to my knowledge), but here in the UK, where it was officially released android pie has still not been released

i think, more accurately, Hong Kong has Pie and those of us in the US forced to buy this variant for any LTE whatsoever got it, too.

i got mine a week ago from O2 and i am on Version 9.0.0.198 (1. February)

I'm not from Germany but I got same update 198 (Giffgaff on 02 network)
It's just security patch, we will not have any EMUI update with features for a while I Reckon, hope they are working on Android Q 10 ... First time I bought a Huawei phone but it looks like they are not the best manufacturers in terms of update and they are "locked" with modification so I'm not expecting anything crazy from them...

I am also currently on .198 , but first I thought I got it from here ... but it was actually from O² itself, I figured.
Do you perhaps know when & which version is going to be from O² Germany next ?

Why would you think the updates are connected to the carriers? The last time I heard this was like 3-5 years ago lol

Software bug in Call Forwarding !
according to the tech dept of O² Germany that there is probably a bug in the software,
and that is why it is not possible to DISABLE it in Call Forwarding, when BUSY or UNREACHABLE.
is everyone else having the same issue with the set regardless the carrier?

As far as I know updates are pushed by Huawei. I don't see how or why the carrier should be involved. The only thing I have noticed is that after putting a Vodafone Sim in my device it automatically downloaded some Vodafone bloatware. But it does not affect the actual firmware or updates.
Back in the day the phones were locked and branded, had a Vodafone design preinstalled and the carrier name written on the back of the device. They therefore had a specially modified firmware which they were in charge of updating. But since all of that has disappeared there is no need for the carrier to get involved. Everybody wins, faster updates less effort.

Yes, that makes sense. Thank you for explaining.
Now, there were a couple of apps did actually automatically installed after I inserted/connected with the O² card.
One of them is still there "SIM-Toolkit", the other one I can't remember, I probably uninstalled it.
There was also a prompt for the SIM-PIN every time I restarted the device. I did manage to disable that.
And also, some O² Germany links (help/legal stuff) somewhere ... can't remember where too

A few days ago I read somewhere, that the carrier has an impact on the OTA. Somebody gave the advise to temporarily switch the SIM cards (from Telefonica o2 to Vodafone) and at the next boot he magically got a new OTA update. (Looks similar to windows 10's update channels) at least it's worth to try.

are you with O² Germany
I see some of you are residing in Germany, just wondering, how many of you are actually with O² Germany contract?
I have a question then!

9.0.0.210
today I received the official update. version 9.0.0.210
anyone else with O² Germany?
Anyone knows what's new with this from .198 ? I don't see much !
3 major issues for me are still there:
* no separate sound levels for sms/notifications & ringtone
* no separate sound for SIM2's sms as its ringtone
* no changes in auto-brightness

Did you also get the update yesterday? Or does it work randomly regardless the carrier !?
What I meant is that Auto Brightness indeed "works",
but you cannot turn it off permanently, it turns itself ON again after a restart.
And about the separate sounds, I think you should check it again ...
Ringtone, SMS, Notifications = they all have the same joint level,
while the Media, Alarms, Calls = do have their separate levels !

sprint have a bad reputaion on updates time

My LG G8 ThinQ LM-G820TM just received the October update.
That's two updates within a three month span!
My fears of being stuck with a phone with great hardware but outdated software are subsiding.

I'm not updating since I believe the October update blocks an potential exploit that could be used for rooting.

I have the Sprint version and I received an OTA update yesterday. But i didn't see any new camera features.

I don't know how to add pictures on this site, but my game pad app looks different. That button only allows me to switch between different preset controllers, not create a new one - additionally my game pad can't emulate screen touches, it can only emulate a game controller. Which version of the v50 do you have?

Well I finally got the S Health App update for my watch and it's there now.

Maybe it is like in FR, Spo2 is not available yet. According to samsung it is because they're not authorized yet. But might be just because their sensors and systems are flawed or just suck.
Apple and Withings had this validated in no time...

Do you know if there is an unlocked version of s health that would allow me to use the sp02 widget? i changed my CSC from canada to USA and then to KOO to get the new update, BP and ECG work fine and i can see the widget in the wearable app but it wont let me save it to the watch and it doesnt appear in s health, i have a SM-R820 on tizen 5.5.0.1 R820XXU1CTH8 paired with a Pixel 4xl. Do you think it could be because I'm in canada that its restricted?
