As read on : http://huaweinews.com/2014/02/ascend-p6-kitkat-delayed/
Many of you were asking us when Huawei is going to roll out Android 4.4 KitKat update to the ever popular Ascend P6. Huawei promised the customers that Ascend P6 will get KitKat in January this month but that never happened – http://huaweinews.com/2014/01/ascend-p6-emotionui-2-3/. Then the time frame was pushed to February after we got a official beta firmware leak on January 30th - http://huaweinews.com/2014/01/android-4-4-beta-ascend-p6/. For those of you asking us by comments and emails about ETA we have responded to you by saying the update will come this month for sure but now it seems like we are wrong.
We are receiving reports that Android 4.4 KitKat update for Ascend P6 is delayed until early March and that news is for the Chinese Unicom version of the P6. We all know that Huawei gives the latest updates first to the Chinese region and international customers gets it later. But since Ascend P6 is a success for Huawei that might change with this update and Huawei might push the update internationally at the same time as they release it for China. But judging from the past experiences it will take at least few more days if not weeks for Huawei to deliver the update outside China.
We might get another leaked firmwares in the meantime and there is a possibility that Huawei will announce the update at MWC 2014 which is scheduled to happen on 24 to 27 this month. But we don’t have solid information on that yet. After Huawei releases the Unicom final stable firmware you will be able to flash that on your International Ascend P6 without a problem without waiting for the international firmware release, but that requires some knowledge and if you are a regular reader of HuaweiNews.com you know we have got you covered

Considering we are on Feb 13th already I don't see this as an issue. The article reads "Early March" so if that's the case we are 2 weeks away. When I had the Galaxy S3 they moved the 4.2.2 Update deadline several times until it was skipped to go to 4.3.
Anyways I hope it comes on "Early March"....
A Chinese user posted a screenshot of a chat he had today with some Huawei guy about android 4.4+2.0:

K. This is my interpretation of the screenshot here http://bbs.anzhi.com/thread-8764244-1-1.html, may not be 100% accurate!

Translation:
Version Emotion UI 2.0 is in the process of making, every single different model has different plans, no ETA, but once there is news, we will update everyone;
P6- Emotion UI 2.0 (Kitkat 4.4) Beta testing please: Click this link. (no link since it is image.) Only limited to Unicom version. Unicom will be first version, in mid Feb may release an improved version (of beta?). For the unicom, telecom, mobile versions (4.4+2.0), stable release is now planned to be released the beginning of next month, and due to the P6 Fans' needs, we will try our best to release the stable version ASAP .
EmotionUI 2.0 the latest news
EmotionUI version 2.0 is already in the planning, different models fit 2.0's plan is not the same. It is reported that, P6, Mate, D2, glory 3, A199, G700 and so under the Scheme, were roughly before May, other models 2.0 is no clear message, a new message will inform you the first time. P6-UI2.0 Unicom version as the first edition, February 21 will provide an improved version (for beta users have signed up in advance only). Unicom, telecommunications, mobile three-standard (4.4 +2.0) stable version of the original plan will be available in March.

So we can maybe get new leaked KitKat in next 24h :good:
This looks great
http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2882430410
I saw this somewhere.
Apparently a beta tester posted an image of their update to a stable kitkat beta on the 22nd. I think we aren't getting it because only the beta users get the update pushed via their IMEI number. We'll just have to hope they post it and share.
I'll translate again, but remember, this is an interpretation, not necessarily accurate!
1st picture:
- Is just saying the update is for P6-U06, don't blame if the phone screws up because it is a beta;
- Download button
2nd picture:
Fixes seem to include:
[System]
- Optimize/Stabilize the system
- Optimize the workload of system
- Fix the issue with playing tudou.com videos
- Fix the issue with display images on search Sohu
[Lockscreen]
- Fix the lockscreen "bookmark" ability? <-- I have no idea.... Maybe we can add widgets to lockscreen now with password? Not sure....
3rd Picture:
[Contacts]
Optimized, Dialing speed number ability added
[Notifications]
- Floating Notifications should work now (i.e. facebook chatheads)
[Bluetooth]
Picture is cut off D: and this is the last picture. I wish there was more to this.
-----------------------
Anyways, I hope this can help. Can't wait to get my hands on a stable kitkat
hmm sounds exiting !
but when will we receive the international version ?? i just updated to 125 .. i had sooooo much trouble with wifi with the previous firmware ..
will see how the 125 performs ...
waiting for the kitkat !!
Its, sad to hear that some devices like S3 Neo got the Lollipop but our not, but the real answer is that S3 Neo will not get Lollipop update, maybe future updates based on 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 will come but Lollipop update not, just stop to hope to get an official Lollipop update from Samsung.
I just wanted to share it with you! I hoped it as well, but it will not come!
http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entr...axy-S3-and-S3-Neo-Lollipop-Update-is-CANCELED
https://disqus.com/home/discussion/...android_50_lollipop_update_has_been_canceled/
It will get lollipop youmobile is only uk...
Germany samsung told me that it is likely we are going to get it he didn't say no uk will not likely get it
that tweet is from July . that's old news. also there is a GT-I9301i ( aka neo+ in some regions ) that has 1.5 ram and good processor. That may get updated. Also. i don't care any more They can shove the update when the sun don't shine. They released 50 phone variants and now they can't update all of them and playing the : it can't run that android version bull**** . This will probably be my first and last Samsung device.

Hello.
I have a question about 1.4 update. Will Sony or Google give our watches this update?
Or is it possible to manually create/build this update?
I'm asking because, I'm from Poland and I wait for the Polish language
My English isn't too good and this is my first post on XDA so please understand me.
Thanks for your help

Hello! Welcome to XDA community
As far as I know the update is issued by Google themselves, not Sony, so we just have to wait. I've read somewhere that one of the Sony officials (from Sony Germany I think) wrote that the update will be out before 15th April. It's pretty freaking late because Android Wear 1.4 is out for almost two months now.
I'm also waiting for Polish language

Have you got any sources that state that the AW 1.4 update is coming before the 15th April? I'm sorry if i sound skeptic, but I'm looking forward to buying this watch (as in Italy it now costs 140 euros, which is pretty cheap), but the whole update thing kinda scares me away...
A few things about android updates...
They happen when they happen. Whatever rumors we get are just that, rumors
Eventually these watches will be phased out of updates, but that has not happened yet, and should not for at least the next generation or two (this speculation based on Android's close to two year update support)
This watch has many hardware oddities that make it take longer for some updates (this is one), and some of those are why I enjoy this watch
There is a thread on the general forum about this. There are official links confirming the update is coming. When, now that is a different story.

Hi guys,
because this is one of the most asked questions, I wanted to keep this thread with the most actual information.

Hi,
That answer was written by me. Until now that's all what we know but hopefully it can be released much sooner. Unfortunately, nothing is certain yet.
We'll inform the community as soon as we can promise at least an approximate release date.

So I guess you work directly for UMI as a software engineer or community manager?

Yes, communication and a bit of marketing. Sorry but you cannot expect engineers to pop up here.

I have not seen many UMI brand phones which have released source codes, but I was wondering if you have any plans of releasing the kernel sources and/or full sources for this device.
I am looking to buy this phone, but I would like to be able to compile my own kernel and ROM for the devices I own
dont be waiting for nougat.i have a z3+ with nougat and in android N everything is worse than mm
The new Ulefone Gemini Pro was presented last week on MWC 2017.
http://www.stuff.tv/my/features/ulefone-gemini-pro-almost-carbon-copy-iphone-7-plus
This phone also has a X27 SoC, but it is already running Android 7.0.
So Mediatek released Nougat-drivers for X27 a few weeks ago to Ulefone.

This makes me sad.
Well its quite possible some dev could work some magic , bet the main boards are not too different from a reference board by mediatek , umi spec has well known components for screen and camera so possible to hack a port from same soc or even just tweak a few drivers and swap kernal ...we need a dev
Are there any sources out?

Not from UMI, there are phones with mtek socs running nougat , there seems to be phones with other components the same running nougat. So the ingredients are out, problem is cooking this into a working ROM would be a big job.
I recall when mm came out my HTC had a hacked together version that worked quite well, but the source for loli was out so there was a starting point.
Linage os would clearly be the place to start , find a mtek soc based ROM an hack I guess, beyond me , but someone who understands could prob work something
Not in a million years

I hope they release soon so we can get you a customized rom, because the original is leaving to be desired, its customization is very bad. Congratulations to all programmers who are interested in customizing a rom for our Z.
Looks like it won't be too long now till 7 beta ....
Waiting anxiously ....
