As we know original Huawei Watch is nearly 2 year old so that raises a big question: will there be anymore updates after initial AW 2.0 update? I hope there will be (at least some minor fixes & security updates) or does Huawei focus on their HW2 support from now on? I understand that there probably won't be big future updates anymore for HW1 (like AW 2.5 or AW 3.0). What do you guys think what the future holds for original HW?

I'm expecting the worse, to be honest. Unfortunately it's a trend every manufacturer follows, after merely 2 years of being launched they say like the soup nazi on Seinfield:"No more updates for you!"
This was posted by an official Huawei XDA account:
We noted this issue with our development team to see if maybe a future update can help resolve the issue. Should any of you have additional issues or inquires, please don't hesitate to contact Huawei UK Customer Care directly via the email, chat, or hotline options found at our Huawei UK Consumer website: http://consumer.huawei.com/uk/support/index.htm
This is is not to discourage you from discussing it further here; it is merely to say that Huawei pays attention to these types of posts to see what we can do to improve user experience.
So yes, probably.

Watch's update are a bit different than phone's update, manufactures cant do any change to their watch's firmware ,and updates will provide by google itself!
Google is more supportive of their devices so we should get updates more than we expect

Huawei has just two watches to update almost with similar hardware, so it shouldn't be difficult to support them both, since even now the original watch is still on production lines.

They have at least 3. The Huawei Watch 2 has two different versions, with different hardware.
Hi Folks,
As you know, there are lot meet ups happening in India for Honor/Huawei users, currently for Honor 6X and Honor 8 Pro only, but we may see these coming to other devices as well based on the response. It may be limited for older devices where software support is not possible but eventually newer devices like, Honor 5C, Honor 8, Honor 6X and honor 8 pro would be included (if they get more requests for 5C and 8).
In this thread, lets discuss on various points/feedback and feature request that we want to raise it to the Honor teams during meetup and eventually taken up to the R&D team for consideration to enhance the end user experience in a positive way.
Anybody attending these meet ups with Honor team can put forward these points and we wish these points will be considered to provide a happy and positive user experience.
Creating a thread in Honor 8 Pro section as well so that 8 pro user can fill their points there and we can refer any of these thread for unique points to proceed with.
8 Pro Thread
Good luck.
Attached is the list of point raised during Honor meet up in Chennai and compiled by our fellow member @amulbaby (Abhishek)
View attachment Points_from_Chennai_Meet-up.pdf
8 pro thread- https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8-pro/how-to/feature-request-feedback-upcoming-emui-t3669807
As we already discussed on other thread few of the points
removal of knuckle feature
camera lag on EMUI 5 (while opening only)
Over exposed image while using front camera
timely Kernel sources for all the device
Double tap to wake up
uniform OTA acorss all devices
Expecting for expert opinion, new points, feedback, feature request from @gopinaidu77 @VenuGopalu077 @PalakMi @RedSkull23 @clsA @jsbeyond @amulbaby add other if I missed anyone.

Well to be perfectly honest after owning 2 H5x and an Honor 8 I have no intentions of ever owning another Honor device.
The company has all but abandon it's past phone owners and all their interested in is you buying their next phone.
Their is no reason to back or support Honor and all their broken promises. The don't even respect their own employees
and they for Damn sure never listen to the Users request and feedback.
At the prices they are charging for their devices you could be using a LG G6 / HTC 10 / ZTE axon a Nokia 6 or any number of Moto or samsung phones (My kids Galaxy S8 plus was $525 with trade in and just $24 a month with samsung financing)

A transparent and open feedback mate :good:
First of all, thanks for asking my opinion about. I've read the PDF file attached and i found it very interesting. Plus, seeing such a relationship between OEM and customers is great. That's how things should always be.
Aside what has been already told, and the thing which i agree most is the uniformity of updates on all devices to ensure a quality performance to every device, I'd suggest to being more developer friendly (don't worry, I've already seen that in the points declared above, the release of kernel sources in time is already there). You shouldn't leave developers with tied hands, and anyway the device would be always bought from Huawei/Honor, so why mind too much at which OS will run on the phone? I buy the phone for hardware characteristics overall, what matters for real is that the user would feel free to do whatever it wants with the phone, once that it has been payed. Next; ensuring a stable security patch update without having to download the full package would be nice third: things like NFC chip present in the device but disabled in some countries (luckily I'm not one of the involved) should never happens. I understand about the call recording because some countries take it easier compared to others, but i think that the NFC technology is the same (or almost) in every country, so why disable it?
As i'll remind other features, I'll come back to speak about them. At the moment nothing else to say

Exactly mate. Thats why i said uniform OTA and similar EMUI for all variants if they use same hardware. Also OTA can be same across all devices.
First of all i want to say that honor is doing a good act.. Tgis meetup thing is very positive but i want them to really implement this and the results should be positive..
1. Double tap to wakeup on kirin based devices
2. Quick and firm OTA updates for all regions as i feel that Pakistan region is ignored and dont get updates fasters.
3. Should provide 2 major upgrades on a device.. Means 2 year full support.

Would be both a work in less to do by them, and a better way to communicate with other devices and so developing a more synergetic compatibility with various devices by the same OEM. Sounds more like something futuristic however ahahah. Jokes aside, some model surely has and will have particular features that are present only in models that the hardware would permit, like more options for a better shot on camera as an hypothesis. Then it'd be sufficient to add in the OS some strings as "show this option if camera sensor x is true" and "show not this option if camera sensor x is false" or something like that, like some apps and OS already do from many time (like Greenify and the alternative lock-screen option that is shown if is a fingerprint sensor is detected, in example).
I have two things to speak about:
1- honor made their devices totally hard to unlock and even harder to recover if bricked, I was wondering why they won't make it easy like Oneplus or Google?!
2- is about EMUI, I want Huawei to leave the lockscreen and notification panel just what Google intended (they can skin it however they)
The way how EMUI handle notification and lockscreen notifications is pretty bad.
I want them to fix these two points, and if they still continue with that.
I'm seriously going to sell my honor 8 and get Xiaomi mi A1

Absolutely. The notification on lock screen is pretty bad and need to unlock to see them properly

Heya guys and gals.
Just wondering if anyone has any news from the folks at RAZER as to when we'll be seeing that Oreo Update. It was supposed to be out within Q1 2018 which suggests by the end of the month (March) but no release news as yet...???????
Just chatted with them on support, the rep still says first quarter. Then they said there's still 3 weeks left so it will be out "very soon"..
That thread title made me excited for a second
Especially after seeing the changelog for the Razer theme app saying 'support for android O"
I was contacted by Razer late last week based on some issues i was having regarding the Netflix app still crashing my phone at a very high % and they where talking about waiting for the next big update. They didnt give the impression we would be waiting long but then also didnt give a timescale.
Already talk that we would be getting Android O 8.1 as a version and some talk about Android P as my understanding is theres some fetaures in P that will make it easier for non Google branded phones to update easier. So hopefully the phone gets quicker system updates and my majour concern is that it gets quicker secuirty updates.
Also as mentioned above by Roxas the Offical Razer Theme App got a recent update to support Android O
Yes. I also have seen evidence that android 8.1 is the actual update not 8.0 so win win for us ?
I'd prefer P but can't be too fussy as it's still in development
P just had it's first beta release afaik. Correct me if I'm wrong. Won't come out until fall this year.
Yeah your right P is still way in beta I just want it on the phone when it does come out. I hope it doesn't stop at Oreo
Hello Guys ! Reading everything related about this topic I mist say that I only found that Huawei P20 phone users will get an Update on later this month! Some of us got the settings update but nothing more so far! I think the update for us the Europe users will still take place in March wheb it was expected and the late October announcement is for Chinese users! What do you think
I am mainly interested of the dark theme despite the fact that there is a dark mode on Google play that fits well with the grey on black errors! Also I think that we are not able to use google pay recently because of the Trump Huawei forbiden software!
What do you think? :good:
I'm really excited to use Android 12, but Motorola doesn't seem to care. I have heard the news that Moto phones will receive Android 12 in Feb, but there isn't any timeline.
Do you guys have any idea?

Really the only thing you can do is wait.
You can see which models are getting updates on the Moto update tracker.
Just search by codename (hanoip) or Model # (XT2135)

G60 got Android 12 in India last week.
Seems slower now. There are a few bugs around status bar. May be it needs a factory reset.
Overall it is alright.
