L24 B140 update

Anyone else get a software update today? I just got my phone in the mail and was surprised it updated. Any one know where I could find the change log?

I haven't received anything yet. I'm still on B130.

Does this contain the android update to marshmallow or is this an emui update to 4.0?

This is just a maintenance release. It includes an update to the monthly Android security patch level. Android M is coming in a future update.

I was working on the review of the device and now I have to wait till my device gets the update
will it fix the lag issues ?

I have had no lag issues with the device so far. Been using it all night. Only ever used it with B140

No real lag issues here either, but I don't use my phone as a PC. Hell I'm even running smart mode and no issues.

Has anyone tried to pull the update file so that it can be uploaded to XDA?

Same here, no lag issues at all. As soon as I got the phone I did eliminate animations and set power saving to normal. No lag and battery life is excellent. My old HTC One + needed 2 full charges to get through the day. On this I get a full two days.
I have a 0.5 amp desktop USB - I know almost useless, it came with my bluetooth headset. I am too lazy to crawl under the desk and replace it. A few hours during the day and the Honor is topped up. I don't charge at night anymore. Nor forget to charge at night.

Can you post a TWRP recovery of the update?

Still on B130 here.

I'd love to get something to flash in bootloader

Bummer this update didn't fix your downloaded apps icons. Still don't reflect how they're shown in the theme preview. Maybe next update!

Will Huawei send nougat OTA or do I have to download it?

I'm not seeing any traditional update software options in the about phone section. How will we receive Android OS updates on this tablet? Thanks.

Well it seems in the moment there just are no updates...
Normally you should get your update via ota (you should see an update option in your "main menu"), except for beta/leaked versions, if they should leak anyhow/anytime...
For now, there are no leaked or official updates for our mediapad m3 :-/

If you Google nougat for Huawei mediapad M3 there are several sites that claim they have the download you can Flash
The only thing in the about phone setting I can find about updates is updating the emui

As I know the update emui menu will also update your android (for example to android 7 + emui 5.0).
I know these sites, but as long as I do not see a link hier on xda, on the huawei news pages or on the huawei homepage itself I think these links are just nonsense.
(For example some of these pages just link every phone available and say "download XXXXX android 7 here"... I would not try to install these... But I also suppose you won't get a real package anyway there.)

Rally don't know if we ever see 7.0 for the M3.
The M2 never received 6.0, and what I heard is that Huawei just doesn't give a fu** about tablet software.

Huawei generally doesn't give a fu** about software updates. My Mediapad X2 GEM 701 never received an update. That's why I had to undergo a hugely complex updating procedure with chinese ROMs modified sh1t.

I just got the new update with October patch. They removed the navigation bar too.

How did you get this patch for your m3? Mine can not find any updates...

Chinese version only perhaps?

Actually it's the September security patch,but I got a notification in the update section. About 256mb. Took about 20 min to complete. I bought my tablet in Thailand.

Do you mean you can now disable the on-screen buttons or what has changed with that update? Thx!

I think that the NOUGAT OTA will be sent together with the new EMUI 5.0 (this version of its ui layer is based on android 7)... Anyone know an approximate date?

Correct,also it said better chrome operation,so maybe people that had problems running chrome in small format ,now can. I always had mine set in medium text and didn't have a problem. There were other things it said ,basic improvements,etc... I can't really notice any change other than the ability to disable the new buttons. Which like I said ,disables the ability to start split screen. Unless someone can tell me how to do NB it with only the fingerprint scanner......I'm also running Nova free launcher.
Plainly,this tablet is sick as F. I'm coming from a wifi only Xperia z3tablet compact though...... the only reason I bought this just because the camera Hardware had a malfunction on the Sony.

Haha haha,
Yes in a very good way. It's heavier than the z3 compact,and no water resistance,but it's smooth ,fast,and the LTE connectivity is incredible. I always have 5 bars of 4g. Now ,I live in Thailand,and the internet is crap here compared to the USA,so in the states it's probably even better. It was half the cost of a normal flag ship phone too,and it's basically a huge phone. It comes with a screen protector and a case,however the case is Carmel color and hard to look at,but it's growing on me. This tablet charges very fast too.
If your on the fence,buy it for sure.

As far as I read not all CPUs are conform with Android 7.0. The M2 has one of them. The CPU of the M3 is conform so i hope we will see the update soon.

I can tell you this, it has Alexa support, improved voice recognition for Alexa and 10X camera zoom. As far as the rest, I do not know.

The article I read about it this morning said the updates were supposed to roll out at lunch today, but nothing on mine.

Nothing on mine yet either

I got it as well and it has March 1 security updates included.

Got it now too. It's probably still lunch time somewhere.

I wonder if we will get this official B183 OTA if we are on the beta from fh - MHA-L29C567B182-log. I hope I don't have to fh to get the official B183. If you were on the B181/B182 betas and received the B183 OTA, please post.
Thanks!

So you can't disable the Alexa app. Sigh

Nope and honestly its trash. Tried to set a timer and said it couldnt. Immediately put it in a hidden folder never to be seen again.
However this update has a bunch of bug fixes.
Dropzone popups when accepting permissions is gone
Ok google popup in the camera and other apps is gone
Screenshot now works on the first try
iheartradio doesnt shut off when the screen sleeps anymore.
Thats all ive found so far. Add those plus the 10x zoom and Id say its a great update.

C567B183 is available on firmware finder.

Currently using a US Mate 9 in Hong Kong and it's getting the B183 firmware now!! I was previously on the B167 firmware.
It's got the March security updates too!

Can someone extract the alexa apk for me

I do not see the update on my US version as of now.

How is that possible? I received the 8.0.0.363(C432) as an OTA update like a week ago and so I got January's patch. I know, still a month behind Pixel users, but pretty impressive and I'm happy with this phone. I thought I'd get no updates for my Mate 9 after buying it, but Huawei has seriously surprised me.
Now I've owned it for about a year (only a few days and it's exactly a year since I bought it) and last year alone I got quite a many updates. Oreo itself arrived as an OTA back in December.

My Mate 9 is at MHA-L29C636B183 Bought it as international version. Is there any update coming for this model ?
I'm a conservative user, not necessarily excited about the latest novelties. I use Facebook, Chrome, Gmail, Tumblr, some weather apps and local public transport. I wonder whether there is anything of interest for me in Oreo. Perhaps what worries me is that my Android Security Patch Level is dated 5 June 2017.

Here at xda, we post in English. Which is an actual rule here. If you cannot speak English, it still needs to be translated. I did it myself for the forum, but just an FYI for future posts. Can be found here if you need reference. https://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81 further more, what some Joe schmo says on a website means nothing. Most of the idiots from honor on social media said Oreo wasn't coming h to the h8, but yet it's in beta. These "representatives" know annually nothing about what's being developed for the phone and you're just silly if you think they do. Hell, the main guy from honor usa couldn't even tell me how long it takes an OTA to go from them to the public. In short, this isn't anymore solidifying than the goofballs saying we weren't getting Oreo because some random rep said so. I hope we can agree to disagree on this instead of doing what most of XDA does and "flame" each other. Have a good day.

It is true, I should had add the source from the beginning that is my fault.
But I really did post in English and translated that part about the Honor 8 and it is not my fault that the source behind the link is in Hungarian. I might have mistakes since my English isn't perfect but I hope that does not count
So the story behind this Hungarian topic is that Honor got even more separated from Huawei in Hungary, now they have their own distribution channels, marketing, management etc. and in order to be more influential they collaborated with the largest tech media site called "mobilarena" (like here in XDA) and opened a Honor topic in order to answer questions. Obviously the first question was about Oreo for Honor 8. Few days later they wrote back that they have been directly negotiating with the manufacturer but he is not able to provide any specific information about the (Oreo) update (sorce). However he can tell that a smaller update gonna happen in June... and the rest is in the first post. So I am not judging anybody if they don't believe in the representative after all those false information. Have a nice day as well!

Backup Internal storage goes offline in June 2018
Like title says, in June there will be some kind of update not sure if Oreo or just monthly security patch, but go to the: Settings > Advanced settings > Backup and reset > Huawei backup, try option backup data it will give you options how to backup data: Computer, Internal storage or USB storage.
Under Internal storage there is red message about offline feature in June 2018.
imgurcom/a/GyiFBZ7 (insert . after imgur)
On Honor 8 (FRD-L09), B405, EMUI 5.0.1, OS 7.0
That update (virtual, three finger screen shot,...) or Android Oreo or maybe something else, how knows.
EDIT:
Maybe it is based just for the app from Huawei (Huawei backup).
Funny, child company Honor using Huawei app and cloud storage (cheap move)
Maybe in June 2018 they will give new option for Honor users.
Honor backup on Android 7.0

To be sincere i saw the changelog for the Honor 6A. I downloaded and installed the firmware on my grandpa's phone and it has those features. But i think H8 won't get anything because it already have double knock to screenshot , knock with two fingers to record and vol down pressed to recall HiVoice....all this is included in the Honor 6A update (about 407 mb) so no need to "update" H8 with functions already present. I know...3 finger swipe down isn't the same as double knock...but wtf cares?
