Just received Google March Security Patch for my Mate 9. Live in SF. Impressive that update came so fast. Hopefully, Hauwaei realizes how important it is to continue to fix bugs, add security.
Phone is impressive, especially battery power. Never had a phone, being power user, that goes all day and still 50% at night. Beautiful screen, fast, storage.
Got the update about a week ago, nice to see updates still coming. Located in Canada.
Got it on the 12th. Hope the updates continue.
I had the update waiting for a few days, but due to having TWRP, I couldn't install it. Flashed the stock recovery yesterday and updated. The April update is already on FF so hopefully Huawei will continue to push out updates in a timely fashion

Hope you're right. Continuous updates would give US customers confidence in brand & counter negative publicity by right wingers, who are only concerned with protecting US commerce, not security.
Nice to know April is in FF, and as you said hopefully be pushed out OTA to us.
Can you tell what was the size of update?

If the April patch (USA version) works like the March version, I'm guessing early May to be approved.
FF shows it, but not available, EMUI update shows no updates, so I'd guess it will be a few more weeks
for most people unless you want to jack with the phone a bit.
Buggy
I updated my Mate 9 to the March Security Update a few weeks ago, and ever since then, a few apps have been crashing on startup. Google keep, Gmail, etc. It doesn't say anything after when crashing. And it's annoying as hell.
Got April tonight

Better late than never. It's 252.87 MB. No documentation of it yet on AT&T's software-update page, but that should be coming soon.

Thanks! I was wondering when this was going to be released, especially when I saw that Google just released the November update for Nexus devices. Like you said, better late than never...
PJ4 update
New update. I downloaded last night. It adds something called Fullscreen? Any one else got any news on what changed? Says security patch level is October 1, 2016. Was about 250MB
Trying to figure that out to. Cant find any Changlog for this
Turned on the advanced messaging again for me. I turned it off since it wasn't working properly. Maybe it's fixed now.

Can we still root if we are on PJ4?

I wish AT&T would give us the performance updates that Samsung released a couple months ago. We just keep getting security updates and more crap software.

You know what? I'm not sure now. I could've sworn I read an article saying there was, now the only reference I find is for T-Mobile S7's getting a performance update.
I was on rooted stock PI2 and accidentally said OK to the OTA and it sent my phone into bootloop. Had to start from scratch.
Is the current root stable enough to use as a daily driver?

I had to format the phone because of November update problems..now it ask again to download it and j can't see December update....should I download Nov update..will it cause any more problem..such as freezing of Google,Google Assistant,clock...i suffered from these once
Nobody can give you the right answer for that since there are few people who had issues and there are people who never had issues(I never had any issue, not on october, not on november and not on this update)
Google and gooogle assistant have general issue on all phones in recent updates of those apk-s(as you can see in users comments in google play), that's not the issue of mi a1 OS.
Noone knows if your unit will work properly or not.

Me too. I get the occasional freezes and have to force a reboot. I didn't get the December update yet and can't find an answer if it fixes these problems or not.
And, by the way, shouldn't we be getting the Oreo update by now?

I had december update, but i messed up my phone by installing twrp. So i reflashed everything, and now december is gone. lol,. its funnny actually. Now OTA gives me november only (which i won't install), so from december i'm back to October.
Only God knows when they will give me another chance to install December patch...

Bugs...hardware issues..different network...different signal, user doing something the system..errors caused by using...it's a software, could be anything. Majority have no problems, but there are cases that do.
example:latest win10 1709 update is working fine on one machine and on the other it's cracking, on the third it's freezing, some apps are not working properly, pointer issues, somewhere there is a high cpu usage, random restarts..all that with the same hardware.
Even though most of users don't have issues, some report that their units are not working.

Manufacturers will usually not release an update for all devices at once. They usually start out at a very low percantage of devices (~1-5%) and wait for reports regarding any issues or failed updates. They then will increase the number of devices over the coming 1 to 2 weeks.
What you delete the google framework data you're esentially telling the google server that you're device has been factory reset which will usually cause you to receive any updates available but this might cause issues with system stability.
See this post from 2013:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...to-never-clear-google-service-framework-data/
conclusion: you can wipe your framework data if you want (i.e. we can't stop you), but you shouldn't. It is recommended to wait until your device is scheduled for the update.

In fact it's possible to skip one or more months and update directly to the latest version. There is incremental OTA between two versions (e.g. November -> December), between several versions (e.g. October -> December) and full OTA (e.g. July -> December).

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.

according to my knowledge this update not only the security patch update. there are some fixes with update, thats why number goes 47.1.A.12.xxx to 47.1.A.16.20 normally if there is major update they change it as 47.2.X.X.XXX or 47.3.X.X.XX like that. but if there is a normal minor updates they change it with this time update. only with the security patch they change only the final numbers.
i think there may be some fixes.
Can anyone tell me if the "Downloading..." in the playstore has fixed (takes a long time to ACTUALLY download)
And also if 3D games (Asphalt 9 etc.) don't have graphical glitches

Howdy XDA Army,
A short while ago, I checked-out the google play system update under settings》biometrics》etc., and witnessed an update to this unsolved mystery of mine. My handset, even after the 11 stable build OTA, was still "stuck like chuck" on Sept '20. Maybe like you, I've never given this setting much thought nor shared any dialog (until today)! I was fine with and accepted the fact this setting will always run a good fiscal quarter behind the pack..well, that was then, and this is now! After the download & required restart, with the realization I'm still in a "shock & awe" state of mind, I'm eager to report this update I found to be somewhat anticlimatic.
(thnx 4 playing)

I googled it a while back, and sure there's a description of why it exists, what's it's proposed function is, etc.. Then, if any of it were true, why hasn't it "caught up" since it's birth sometime during Android 10? Finally, it makes you wonder why no push notification or play store pop-up..."a newer version of blah, blah, blah blah blah?" And this one's all google's, that's my understanding of it.
So today I tried again. This time it searched for an update but failed to install. Pretty weird.
