Why is it c432 is getting all the support and updates and us on 732 are still stuck on 120 and June security patch?

Because you have a branded phone and your carrier releases the updates later than c432 which is stock no branded. Also the build number may differ from stock c432.

My phone is not branded and was purchased SIM free from the carphone warehouse in the UK.
Not on contract and no branding so that's not the reason.

you can rebrand your device to another region code. Search for "rebrand [device name]. This is dangerous territory so be sure you really know what you do unless you wanna have a very pretty paper weight.

New 163 firmware has appeared on Firmware Finder for those interested.

C782 still on .120

All updates for C782 go through operator approval even if you have bought a SIM free device from Carphone Warehouse. This process takes a long time and if one network rejects the update then will cause further delays.

What has it got to do with whatevef network your on? I have a sim free phone and can use multiple sims.
Are you effectively saying that no networks in the UK have approved the update for their devices and as such everyone is being delayed even though your device is not restricted by carrier bloatware and settings

Correct. C782 is a UK specific firmware that comes on all carrier provided handsets and through retailers like Carphone Warehouse. Huawei no longer provide carrier specific firmware.
C432 EU firmware does not go through any carrier approval, so updates are rolled out quicker. UK updates are provided by Huawei but they have to be approved by the major carriers. Three, Vodafone, EE, O2. Only when they approve firmware will Huawei make it available.
This is why the UK is still on B120 with B150 (build 3rd August) is pending approval. EU meanwhile has seen 3 major updates since B120.
If you have a bootloader unlock code, it's well worth changing your device to C432 so you can get updates quicker, and get away from the BS that plagues the UK update process.

Thanks for the full reply. I never thought that would be the case. I assumed I had purchased a completely 'clean' phone as such and would not have the update issue. In fairness the phone has been performing great but I don't like being left out of all the update goodness that comes along.
Does the c432 latest updates bring much in the way of improvements to the phone and would be worth changing over too?

Update Blocking Carriers - Name and Shame

Ok, so it appears some carriers have blocked the first update that does nothing to WP7.
To take a quote from WP7 support:
[Some Mobile Operators have the right to skip one update if they wish.
However, they can't skip the next one, which would be an acumulative update and would include the previous one.
So if your mobile operator decided to block this one, you will be getting the early March one (which will include the Feb one too)]
from Microsoft Windows Phone Forum
The concern is if they block an update that does nothing, what will they do in future?
So, lets try to isolate which ones havent updated yet - if you have a BRANDED handset that HAS OR HAS NOT been updated :
U
- name the Carrier/Branding, Handset Model and Country so others know.
As updates hit these phones, I will append the date of the update to the handset on the list.
No update
ATT LG Quantum
ATT Samsung Focus
ATT HTC Surround
T-Mobile HTC HD7 (US I assume)
T-Mobile Dell Venue Pro. (US I assume)

O2 Branded HD7 Released 3/3
Vodafone Netherlands HTC 7 Trophy - Released 6/3
Vodafone (Australia) HTC Trophy - release - some other regions also 3/3
Optus - Released 3/3
Vodafone AU - released 3/3
There is also a list of carriers who are apparently confirmed to be pusing it out - but I would debate this to be totally accurate (as with the above list) as they too are sourcing their information from posts by people who may not necessarily know if their phone is Branded.

I think there was an article somewhere stating that this update is being rolled out in steps to ensure that it goes out smoothly.
i think it is quite probable that MS is also sort of dipping its toe in the water before it dives in with the first proper update.

Well, in the support team's defense, they probably wouldn't be given that information, especially the Twitter branch of it... At least not this early. I think they're just tiering the updates, and maybe holding them off until they fix this Samsung issue...

You need to compile a list of people that HAVE received the update, not people that have not: Microsoft directly said the first update would NOT be rolled out to everyone.
Also, what's the big deal ? It's just a pre-emptive update, not something that actually matters.

Orange 1.28 Software Update...

Does anyone know when Orange users can expect this?
Thanks.

The software updates don't depend on the carrier you use,it depends on the country you are.For exampe 1.28.401 is for Europe,1.28.701 is for...i realy don't know.In what country do you are?

No. The updates do depend on what carrier if it is a branded handset. HTC make the new firmware and then give it to the various carriers to customise and approve. This means it will lag behind the releases for the generic regions.

Yeah,sorry,forgot about branded ones.
Vodafone UK users got the update last week...
I'm on Orange in the UK and got the 1.28 update the day it was released. My phones software version is 1.28.401.9.
The phone was bought through DialAPhone and has no Orange branding or customisation (thankfully) so I'm not sure if its an unlocked handset on Oranges network, or locked to Orange, but I definately got the update via the Orange network.

You've got an unbranded handset and it is most probably unlocked. If you got the One X direct from Orange then it would have been branded.
The updates actually downloaded from HTC servers and not Orange so it doesn't matter what network you're actually connected to. HTC still need Orange to approve the new firmware though before it will be released.

It started rolling out about a week and a half ago. Are you rooted? If so you won't get an OTA update. You'll need to update manually
I'm not. To my knowledge I have a stock ROM as I got this handset from JB.

Would this be an Optus OTA? To my knowledge, Telstra and Vodafone haven't released any comms about Nougat update for the HTC 10 while Optus was testing both the M9 and 10 earlier this month. M9 was definitely listed as released but 10 was still marked as being tested earlier this week.

As I understand it, JB HiFi was selling phones with either Optus or Vodafone firmware. Mine's from JB too and is on 1.95.710.3 which I understand to be the Vodafone version.
Optus update status states 'Testing Android 7.0 update and VoLTE – completion expected late February':
https://yescrowd.optus.com.au/t5/Blog/Android-Software-Updates-16-02-2017/ba-p/198463
UPDATE: Actually, Vodafone has HTC 10 listed as well as "Testing complete, awaiting feedback from HTC", hopefully that doesn't mean a long wait.
http://community.vodafone.com.au/t5...-2017-Software-Update-Weekly-Wrap/td-p/424073
JB sold an unlocked handset which I am with on the Optus network. I am on 1.95.710.3 as well. I was under the impression that HTC sends the software to unlocked devices first specifically, and then to carriers who then distribute it for the optus devices. Would I be correct in assuming that?

That's usually the case though I'm not entirely sure about the nature of our firmware (mine's the same as yours) - is it a true unbranded retail or an unlocked carrier version? I know the Moto Razr I had in the past was an unlocked Vodafone handset.

My HTC 10 is right now in the process of downloading 2.42.710.2 (1.19Gb) OTA. It's this one:

Anyone else here have issues with live wallpapers?

Mine is from Carphone Warehouse too. I've tried using a VPN to spoof that I'm in India and France but nothing is coming through.
I'm hoping that 8.1 will allow me to use the more recent Google Pixel camera APKs as I'm currently having to use an ancient one in order for HDR processing to work.

According to https://nokiapoweruser.com/variants-nokia-7-plus-8-sirocco-6-plus-1-emerge-various-certifications/ there are 5 Nokia 6.1 variants : TA-1050, TA-1043, TA-1045, TA-1016, TA-1054
I bought a TA-1043 from amazon.de (shipped to ireland) and i have not gotten the 8.1 upgrade either....
Does anyone know what the difference between the various models (1043 / 1050) is?
I just got the TA-1043 in Hungary from Germany (Amazon) and got 8.1 on first boot.
Anyone with the TA-1050 model got this update yet? I'm not very impressed given my security patch is from the 1st Feb... It's nearly May.
Anyone know what model lauched in USA the other day? Be interesting to see if they also got the update out the box.
Carphone Warehouse have exclusivity in the UK - not sure if my model is 'their' brand and therefore has slowed updates. Bit annoying that the brand new Nokia 6 is behind the old Nokia 6 with updates though - kind of makes me wonder what the real point of Android One is.

Yeah I don't think that makes a difference. They are sim free/unlocked devices.
As an android one phone, the updates are pushed directly from Google OTA (supposedly). Just find it strange that it's still not pushed in the UK.

Considering i have a TA-1043 (same as a user above who also ordered off Amazon Germany but is based in hungary and received the update on first boot), i'm guessing the updates are just country limited. UK/Ireland seem to be down the pecking order.
Has anyone tried connecting over a VPN to do the update (or at least download it)?
I’ve tried. No luck.

Did Samsung release November security update for an unlocked S9(US model)?

Hi!
Is Nov update out for unlocked S9?
Planning to purchase S9 from Samsung, but trying to find out if unlocked unit really gets updates quicker than T-Mobile variant. I usually buy unlocked models, but sometimes T-Mobile updates carrier branded Galaxy phones with some specific fixes. In other words I just want to make sure that T-Mobile device and unlocked S9 will perform the same on T-Mobile network and support all features including Band 71
Any one?

I have an unmodified unlocked S9 bought from Samsung G960U1 and used on T-Mobile. I received the October security patches sent OTA in early November.

Hmm, so your model is just an unlocked unit which gets updates straight from Samsung. I wonder is T-Mobile is any better... As another user suggested earlier, I could possibly flash the phone with T-Mobile firmware and get updates from the carrier(if it is better with updates)
