Android Pie update status Huawei P20 Lite (Launched globally) - Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion

Hallo hallo guys
I found something good here https://www.theandroidsoul.com/huawei-honor-android-9-pie-update/ which states (I's not clear if this is official info) but it's attached the image
I actually think Huawei might not do this and ship instead the Pie on the same date as the Huawei p20 and p20 pro, because this is not a common 200, 300 euro phone, it's a 400 mid range phone which to be honest it's a high price for a "medium" range phone. Won't even talk about Sony .
Cheers,
Alex
UPDATE: Recent news of November 28 on a chinese source of Huawei tell us that we will be the next phase to test out EMUI 9 Beta after the models which have access to it since Yesterday. Attached image and link to sources.

https://www.ixbt.com/news/2018/11/29/emui-9-0-android-9-0-pie-honor-8x-huawei-nova-3i-huawei-maimang-7.html
UPDATE(As of 10 of December): According to yesterday Weibo(Chinese Twitter) Huawei account we may have finally a date for the EMUI 9 Beta release, according to their image which I could only translate properly with Cambridge online dictionary, after the words "nova 3e" which is our model it says something like "Internal test recruitment expected to be launched in January" which makes sense since there's only number 1 in there , that's the best translation I could've find.

Attached image.
UPDATE (as of 7 of January): Great day to be alive guys My sources are always good, as it seems they have opened internal BETA recruitment of EMUI 9 on China for our model Nova 3e(P20 Lite) and also for Huawei Enjoy 9 Plus (yes, it is called like this...XD), just as I predicted to this month and just like they said on the same source Weibo, link: https://www.weibo.com/3514064555/HaSgozmA2?type=comment#_rnd1546873618942
Poster is attached, because an image is always better
For now though it is only open on China, but as soon as it gets to europe it should be quite quick
UPDATE(As of 8 of January): A new blog post reveals the information and confirmation of the Chinese EMUI 9 Beta release:
https://www.theandroidsoul.com/huawei-invites-beta-testers-for-android-pie-for-nova-3e-and-huawei-y9-2019/
Includes the limit of 2000 participants per country and model for the testing.
UPDATE(As of 21 of January): EMUI 9 Beta is now downloadable in China for who applied for it and new expected stable release dates are available on this source which match my expectations: https://www.theandroidsoul.com/huawei-nova-3e-update/
I expect the stable version to hit China on the mid/end of February even though the source says it expects it in March.
The stable version global rollout would probably be from March to April as it says.
UPDATE(As of 24 of January): Found out a new news link from Italy which does confirm that within two weeks their Single SIM version of Italy from the TIM carrier will receive the update POGGERS
Source: http://www.optimaitalia.com/blog/2019/01/17/brucia-tutti-huawei-p20-lite-tim-nel-ricevere-emui-9-tweet-ufficiale-ma-servono-precisazioni/1342206
It's in italian so either use Google Chrome browser for automatic translation or use google for that
But on the tweet from the TIM carrier they say literally "Hello Mark, within two weeks you will receive the update. See you soon"
The news link is from January 17, so depending on the carriers of the countries of europe some will receive sooner and others will receive later this month Be patient guys, the force is within us
UPDATE(As of 30 of January): A news post of Japan reveals oficial information on the update of the stable version of EMUI 9 for the SIM-Free version of the japanese model of Huawei P20 Lite and others.
Source: https://k-tai.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1167193.html

That is true indeed :/
Now that Huawei confirmed at IFA 2018 Event that only the P20 Pro, P20, Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, Honor 10, Honor View 10, and Honor Play will get the first access to BETA EMUI 9, which by the way it has launched on europe already, but for only 100 people for each country XD ... So no official information on Huawei P20 Lite or other devices, there is some websites that rumor the P20 Lite to eventually get a BETA around October but idk, it's so unpredictable with these companies...
Here's the official font:
https://www.weibo.com/3514064555/Gxofe8g3G?type=comment#_rnd1535964854883 - It couldn't open it on chrome so try another browser like Firefox and Brave did for me, I also suggest translating cause it's chinese XD
And here is the other font, there is more but I'm a bit busy

Somethings wrong with android world.
For a march 2018 released device , are we talking about whether if it will receive android pie or not?
What ? Software update for a 6 month old phone is a luxury service?
A september 2014 released iphone 6 oldie still recieves ios 12 and probably ios 13 and 14...
because all devices have the same hardware? no but they are aware of their hardware mostly.
and even p20 lite gets android pie luckily it will not get android q.. r... s.... t...
This problem does not only apply to huawei , most of the android devices are having this problem.
Huawei is updating it's flagship! models! but it says on each month security update we update your p20 lite as a flagship device with updates!
What kind of hardware are we paying for in a year the phone becomes old and does not support new version?!

Even Android flagship devices barely receives +2 official versions nowadays ... No surprises here.

That was always a problem with android itself... Do not compare it to IOS though, they are so different. Android is running on a emulation of Linux, that's why it needs double or more RAM than Iphones to be smoother and quicker... It will never be as fast as IOS that's the problem, also it will never be as simple as doing new versions of IOS.
Also we all know that Apple always supported their devices better than any other company.
In my opinion Google should've started a new OS a long time ago, LOL.
Each year I see almost no improvements on the performance on the OS. This is like comparing Windows with Linux, like sure Windows has all apps, bla bla bla, but it will never be as speedy as pure Linux.
If most of Smartphones ran an OS like Symbian or Sailfish or Mee go they would run like, so so fast, faster than Apple's IOS for sure. But nothing happened because Android became popular af and those systems became less updated and the companies went down... I atually loved Mee go OS on the Nokia N9 .
I loved this phone

Technically companies are obligated to support phones with at least 2 major upgrades (2 years).

13:32:37 - Cristiano says : Maybe the beta version will be available during the next weeks, altough, in the moment we do not have official information on this. I suggest to keep your eyes on our Facebook page (Huawei Mobile), in a way of getting information in first hand about this subject.
13:33:19 - Alexandre Santos says : OK, perfect Cristiano, thanks for your help and information
13:33:35 - Cristiano says : No, I thank you, Alexandre

Update question

Hi everyone, just sold my S7 and got brand new HTC 10.
It's 32GB Carbon Grey, serial FA68N******, model is made in Taiwan, EU UK.
Seems like the latest update I have available OTA is August Security patch, software no 1.95.401.4. MM 6.0.1. ofc
Am I supposed to have any more of this, maybe even a Nougat?
I do have US version which got Android N at the end of November. HTC was supposed to make N available for EU a week ago, but halted the roll out because of some issues and should resume in couple of weeks or so.

Z5P Dual (E6883) 1299-6237 Update to 7.0

Hello,
Been waiting for update to Android 7.0 since the news been spread on XperiaBlog and XDA, but still no official release for 1299-6237 (HK Version). Hence, a question arise: Are there additional certifications that apply to HK ROM version that it takes so long for an update, or is there is another reason for it? Also, any idea when to expect the update then? Thanks for help in advance!

you can take the Indonesia or India version... since HK , the last update was .305 / oct2016 ... i am not sure why the stopped pushing for HK
Thanks for reply! I know I can manually flash it, but to be honest, with device like this I cannot be bothered (and frankly not many people do, as pretty much no development going on). I am more reliant on OTA or Companion updates as I do not want to lose my data. Hence it owuld be nice to know if someone would have an explanation for such nonsence really.
I was in the same boat as you. I bought my Z5p dual off of Amazon and received an HK version. I've been waiting for a Nougat update and could wait no longer. I updated using the russian update file and can confim that everything works and no bugs to report. Also no data was lost and my phone language remained in English post update. Should you change your mind...
But to contribute to your question, according to the Experia blog there appears to be a relatively big update coming in April to fix a couple of the Nougat issues with sound some users were reporting. That could be why they halted rollouts again.

Advice Please

Question Funtouch OS 12/13, System Update, Trial/Demo Version

Hi together
I have a question about the Vivo update philosophy.
I have the X80 Pro Global Version with Funtouch OS from Thailand (Firmware Device W20, Asia Global)
I had buy the X80 Pro early July (in Thailand), and get a
"System Update" PD2185F_EX_A_12.0.11.11.W20.V000L1 with Android Security Patch 01. June 2022
I had read from users with the W30 (EU Version), this had get the August Security Patch. But my phone dont show a new system update, System have already the newest Version.
Than i contact Vivo Thailand Support and ask, why i dont get any security updates by the top model from Vivo. Support had push my IMEI in the updateprocess and later tell me: go setting->system update->*->trial version and there i found a
"Trial Version" PD2185F_EX_A_12.0.12.2.W20.V000L1 with security patch August 2022
Whats the different between a System Update and the Trial Version of a System Update? And why Vivo add the security patches to a trail version and dont push a normal system update (same as the EU Version W30, this dont have the trial option)?
If i dont activate the trial option, i will always stay on June security patch.
strange, no official system update with August security patch, but when I installed the trial version, I saw this update today (but again as a trial).
"trial version system update" PD2185F_EX_A_13.1.10.6.W20.V0001 (5,91GB) Funtouch OS 13
its not the closed Beta-Version Option.
What you think, is this Trial Update a stable Version of Funtouch OS 13, the first officional rollout?
And maybe by the Asian Global it will come always only a Trial Version, earlyer, as for the "other" global version get a "normal" system update?
I'm confused
Trail is usually very stable or the version before the final release.
I also bought mine there in TH. It's trial version not trail. Trial is not official/final build but close to it.
Thanks for the feedback, but why does the W20 only get security patches in a trial version?
The W30 has e.g. now get the september patch in an official update but on the w20 there is no unofficial update with september patch .
Are we, as W20 users, the early birds and should we always install the trial version manually since there will be almost no official update?
@arvinsko do you have already install the 13.1.10.6 update?
Vivo is probably currently distributing Android 13 as a test version. Also for the w30 model in Europe.
@morpheus620 download 70% , before downloading do you get a officional update with the september patch by your W30?
I have also a question about 5G, with a Thai SIM i can chose 5G network preference, but with my Swiss SIM (Salt Mobile Provider) i dont have this option. @arvinsko where you use the W20 now and you get 5G with the local provider?
I got the picture from Facebook. Is not my Vivo.
update for asian region with september security patch update
this is Android 13. Test Channel or stable Update ?
