OREO IS COMING! and it's 8.1(official) for g5s+ - Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion

https://support.motorola.com/us/en/Solution/MS129979

Any info about 64bit/32bit?

moto g5s plus
This device will be upgraded to the Android 8 (Oreo) release of Android, pending partner support.
Do you have the latest Motorola software
I bought mine at Best Buy

Will almost certainly be 32Bit.
And we will still be waiting a while because the notes say that we get security up thru June 1st which hasn't happened yet. So implementing that will take probably a week at least. Soak testing will take probably 2 weeks, so we will probably see it late June/early July.
It sucks that they aren't doing anything about our awful camera(s).

Android OEMs get the contents of the security updates weeks in advance, so it's understandable that they'd release the June security update a few days early. It happens all the time with manufacturers that actually release updates often.

Awful cameras!? You might forget that you are using a sub 300$ Phone

The camera on the G5+ was better than the dual setup on the G5s+ that's what I think the guy above is referring to.

"Sorry, the document you have requested is not available.
Please visit our homepage to get support for your product."
It's been coming since it was announced a year ago "from this fall". It'll be coming in a few months. Nothing to see here - literally.

When I bought the
g5s+ I was disappointed with their cameras quality. But after March update of Camera app it's much better. Of course in low light environment I also see so much noise but this is phone camera, not SLR.

the user ln top said that 8.1 release notes came back.. that's the link he's asking for

But They aren't back. They changed the info on that page to show the June security patch instead of the oreo release. At this point, I've given up. In December, when I get my new phone, I'll be going to the nokia 6.1, which is an Android One device.

True, but when you have ways to fix the road and just keep on watching the cars crash...There are still some bugs on 5.1.1 that could have been solved on previous versions. It just seems that google does not care sometimes...

it's impossible to find any advanced software who constantly change bug free, more so when we are talking about OS. Android could be bug free is they were to frooze the developpement of the OS, stop adding new feature or changing things and only work on bug.

Scroll down to the part about OTA updates.

You can get updates over-the-air, once you’ve flashed a device to the initial preview"
Sent from my Nexus 5
No OS will ever be 100% bug free until devices ship with an AI that can fix its own code on the fly... so we've got some time to wait on that happening.
However, yeah, there bugs happening (for me) from 4.4.3 that have never been resolved. Somewhat disappointing. Still can't wait for the next M Dev Preview though!!

Yeah they did. They said 2nd preview at the end of June or early July. We have 9 days before early July ends.

No July update?

Is there no July update? Thought updates were released on the first monday of the month, but still no update for July
I know tomorrow it is fourth of July and a holiday in the USA but what about today? Everything closed as well?

That could also be an option. But none of the supported devices have a July update. So guess that isnt the case.
I think they maybe not working today. Just a few more months and then the monthly wait for a update is over..then no more official updates for the nexus 6

Yes. the last update will be in October.
Every update I've compared the new system files with the previous version. Only a few files changed.
No updates ..... it's the start of a quiet period.
Time to give a look to a new device. I am keeping an eye on the Plus One 5.

Since decryption and debloating it's a very fast phone. Will keep it a while.
The only disadvantage is the round back. On table/desk, input is not easy when the phone is spinning.

No any better stereospeakers yet B)
OP5 is sexy but still not worth
The only disadvantage imho is the soon no longer software support, but I don't really know what it really involves as security patches are not quite safer. (critical breaches will always be updated as XP was with wannacry)

Never had a problem with the round back. Using a case and always lay it on table on its front, since the case is closed no problm with scratches on the screen.
Phone is debloated too. But even without debloating it runs fine and for me fast enough.
Think it is usually about the 5 or 6 th of month released if any.
July update is live now for nexus 6.
Got it! sideloaded ...............okay so far
same bootloader and radio.
just sideloaded the OTA
N6F27H

An update on the new version, my first attempt at flashing N6F27H from the Factory Image (not OTA) ended up with the CPU running at 100% nearly all of the time with no Deep Sleep seen. I just reflashed the Factory Image for N6F27H again and I'll update whether the results are the same or better this time.

Ahh! But 2 days ago I had done a software update which was around 500mb. I thought that must be the December Security Patch. So getting a 800mb update just after the earlier update made me a bit happy that I was finally getting Oreo ahaha. But I guess..Samsung..? Always late in Upgrades.

Nokia 7 Plus October Patch?

Where is Nokia 7 Plus's October patch and why ain't anyone talking about this? This security fix is a major flaw in the linux kernel. Why are they delaying the security patches now?
EDIT: October Patch On Nokia 7 Plus Was Provided On 30th October 2018 (109MB). No Bug Fixes Though.

TA-1062 in the US - got it last weekend. No October patch yet, though.
Split-screen implementation in Pie sucks. Not terribly fond of how you remove apps from queue, either. Everything else is just fine so far, though.

This is exactly what Xiaomi did to Mi A1. I don't know what's wrong with HMD. First, their devices are insanely priced. Second, they prevent us from using our device the way we want by not allowing bootloader unlocking (official). And now they are not even being punctual on providing monthly security updates.
Disgusting!!

they have too much phones out there right now, remember even the new nokia phones recently introduced came with the android oreo, really shame.
and as time goes, hmd become worst and slow with the updates.
apart from the 7 plus, other nokia phones are still on android oreo.

Same.. 1062 in US. And hate the split screen implementation. Also the longgg swipe to get to the apps. I disabled that gesture setup for that very reason.. pity google forces this for pixel 3. I will use Nova if they ever do this for my phone.

Hello dear user, due to our inability to provide the update in time(or any other bs excuse by Nokia) we will be skipping the October Patch and will deliver the November patch in the normal schedule. Sorry for the incompetence(inconvenience), Best Regards, Nokia Support"
It would be this easy but instead they went silent...
I don't understand, the US seem to have pie, where the phone hasn't been officially released (to my knowledge), but here in the UK, where it was officially released android pie has still not been released

AT&T January OTA update

I've side loaded the last 2 monthly updates but want to try and wait for January OTA. Has anyone from AT&T received this months update? Other forum seem to show all other carriers released the update but nothing from AT&T.
Did side loading possibly prevent me from getting ota's?

I caught your lighthearted lol, but AT&T has nothing to do with it. New images are posted like clockwork every month, both OTA and full. If AT&T is messing with your update, how is it that your image is waiting for you every first Monday of the month? If you don't want to wait your turn in the phased roll-out, there are options.

It was a genuine laugh actually, I chuckled when typing it because of how much has changed in life for me over 2 years. If I had the time to do all of that still I would definitely do it myself but getting an update on day 1 when it's released would be nice, even the first week would be sweet. I waited forever for the November update to hit my phone so it isn't exactly a smooth situation by any means.
You are absolutely correct though, there are other methods available to those that don't want to wait and they aren't difficult to do, especially with all the guides out there to follow.
Gave up waiting myself and sideloaded this month too. Every forum I've gone to it seems Pixels on AT&T, unlocked from Google or from them, seem to be on the waiting list for the update. Hopefully with a "Global" version in January (Japan excluded) the updates from here on out become more routine.

Not Sure!
I got the update within a week or when most community got when i was on sprint, but no luck with Jan update after i moved to at&t.
So i basically side loaded this time, need to see if this repeats with next months update too. But most people having issues with late update on google 4 pixel community have been majority on at&t.
coincidence ? not sure. in kind of same boat though..
Initial device purchased unlocked from the google store.
I got the update this morning, at&t
