Huawei lying about security patches? - Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers

Just came across something weird.
AIDA64 (or any other app that checks for Android security patch level) reports a different security patch than what is shown in the prefs System./about phone page.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So here Huawei claim 01/21 patch level (which already isn't that good for a phone on a promised monthly update scheme)
AIDA64 shows this:
So that is 08/20! Which suspiciously coincides date-wise with the loss of the TGL.
As the system info is extremely easy to fake: is the Huawei info correct or are they lying about Security patches?

Noone has a clue?

[Q] S111 I9305 firmware update 8/1/2013

Hey all,
I plugged my I9305 into Kies this morning, and there was a notification saying there is an update available to firmware version PDA:LL3
I cannot find anywhere a change log for this update...
I don't want to update the phone, then loose the ability to change my dock icons (like Telstra's "update" had)
Does anyone know what this update is for? and what changes it includes?

EDIT:
Jumped the gun and did the update, after Samsung Live chat assured me that the update wouldn't affect the dock icons.
All good. No noticeable changes yet.

Odd build number

I bought a used LG Watch Sport but much of the functionality seems to not work - google assistant, take wearable screenshot, and probably many other things (haven't gotten to play with much yet).
I noticed my build number is "swordfish-userdebug 7.1.1 eng-seungh.20170217.081021 test-keys". from what I gather this isn't an official build. I thought there weren't custom ROMs for the Watch Sport yet so don't quite understand how I'm not on an official build.

How do I get back to an official build?
maybe enrol it into the beta plan and it might update to official build number

Need help with updating ROG 2 to Android 10

Hi, i bought an ROG 2 Tencent model from eBay back in October and have never updated the firmware at all.

SRY - Its the german one:
1) Juni security patch
2) optimization of the phoneswitch function
3) Optimization of compatibility issues concerning some BT - Headsets - maybe also some other bugfixes concerning BT
4) increase of system stability
Hope it helps
enjoy
The north American update is still on 2.07. I wonder if they just gave up on the NA market.
