Huawei P10 Oreo Update

GClisby — Mon, 16 Jul 2018 21:06:41 GMT

I was hoping to get some indication of when the Huawei P10 will receive the Android Oreo Update? I have noticed that other network carriers have rolled this update out to P10 handsets on their network - but i am still not seeing any update from O2.

When i have contacted O2 about this, they have previously mentioned that they are awaiting the update from Huawei - however last month i emailed Huawei support which checked my IMEI and stated that the Oreo update was launched and that i should receive the update last month.

Since purchasing this handset in October 2017 there has been no updates rolled out to my handset which is operating on firmware released in Feb 2017 with security patches almost 18 months out of date!!

Can any other P10 users provide any indication if their handset has received this update as yet? Or can someone from the O2 support team look into this and provide a response?

Thanks

I'm in exactly the same boat. I have also contacted o2 and huawei about this and the response is very poor. My friend got the oreo update back in april!!! They're on Vodafone. Very poor support from O2. Honestly thinking about switching to another carrier as this shouldn't happen.

I have as of today been advised by O2 that the Androind 8.0 Oreo update will be rolled out to the Huawei P10 on 20th August 2018.

Will wait and see.

Whelp, looks like they weren't totally honest about that one, again. seems they've nothing but contempt for their customers when they don't get the most expensive and latest phones.

Perhaps @Chris_K can confirm one way or the other. Live chat are notorious for singing from different hymn sheets.

Bought last year as a black friday deal with mediapad tablet. Since then the tablet received four security patches, but p10 still nothing. Asked them four times via live chat, but only replied: 'soon'.

Yes, still no update appearing for me. Hardly surprised if I am honest.

Oreo aside, the fact that the Nougat version that O2 have held onto since Feb 17 has never been issued any updates to account for security, functions, stability or performance is pretty appalling.

So happy I pay over £40 per month to a network provider over 24 months to make sure we get the best customer service.

Can i ask why this is now solved when this is an ongoing issue that is clearly not yet solved. Still no update and very poor from O2 many months after other smaller suppliers have updated their customer handsets. When I purchase a top of the line handset I expect a steady flow of updates to ensure my phone is secure and running as it should

Re: Huawei P10 Oreo Update

GClisby — Tue, 28 Aug 2018 11:43:43 GMT

Yes O2 set this to solved when i had posted about the 20th August date - not sure how i can revert this to an ongoing issue.

I have been having some further chat with O2 Live Chat about this charade and will post an update on how i get on later. The customer service has been shocking.

Re: Huawei P10 Oreo Update

GClisby — Tue, 28 Aug 2018 12:10:31 GMT

So I decided to make a complaint to O2 about this and went onto Live Chat. Raised the issue i had been experiencing over the past year and cited examples of other network providers and other handsets receiveing updates and as a Huawei P10 owner on O2 i have received nothing.

The person said that the issue i was experiencing was due to a manufacturer issue and wasnt an issue with O2 at all. I then asked if that was indeed the case, then why is it that there has been responses from O2 to confirm if will be issued 'soon' or '20th August' when it really doesnt have anything to do with them. I never really got a response on that one as they couldnt really answer as to why this has happened. Incidentally, i also mentioned i had contacted Huawei in April asking about this and they informed me (from checking my device firmware and IMEI) that it was relesaed in March/April and it would be reaching me shortly.

I was told to wait and he would put me in touch with the Technical Team - but it seemed they were too busy to deal with this so i was asked to contact O2 again today to try and get hold of them - i guess its just too much to ask that they would try and coordinate this from their side....i think that would be classed as good customer service i suppose! So today i duly obliged and made contact....same thing, not time from Technical Team. So my complaint has been raised to the complaints review panel who will be providing me with a response in 3-5 days.

I have sent another email to Huawei trying to seek clarity on the feedback from O2 on this matter and awaiting their response.

Wow, what a shock. O2 pushing the blame into another company when other phone carrier's have already updated their p10 stock.
Nice to see passing the buck to hide their disregard for customers is alive and well.

Think I might look at the legal requirements if there are any for a carrier to keep their software restricted up to date from a security patch point of view.

Re: Huawei P10 Oreo Update

GClisby — Thu, 06 Sep 2018 12:06:21 GMT

Got a response from the O2 Compaints review team - to summarise they have informed me that they are not upholding my complaint as there is nothing they can do about providing a date for the software update.

They have informed me that if i am not satisfied with this (not sure why they beleive i would be?!) then i can take this up with the Ombudsman.

As an aside, having spoke with Huawei about this - they have taken my build version, IMEI etc and are looking into being able to push out the software update directly to my phone. I have reminded them that this isnt just about Oreo and that i was seeking a solution to ensure any subsequent updates be provided to my handset. I still have a week to wait until their timeline expires so just playing the waiting game for now.

As for O2, i will be communicating back to them that i remain unsatisfied with the level of response that i have been provided and see where that can go.

Fingers crossed Huawei can do something, might set precedent. O2 actually called me about an early upgrade on another contract!
Lack of "official" response on this thread shows they really don't care about the smaller customer groups.

Re: Huawei P10 Oreo Update

GClisby — Thu, 13 Sep 2018 10:26:36 GMT

Yes fingers crossed. It has now been over the 2 week period that Huawei mentioned and still no update, so I have emailed them this morning to see if the update has been pushed out or not. Hopefully get a response soon.

It has also been a week since I emailed O2 with my response to their letter regarding my complaint and I havent heard anything back from them as yet. Poor stuff yet again, but will keep at them until I am satisfied with their response.

Re: Huawei P10 Oreo Update

Jb — Mon, 17 Sep 2018 05:20:28 GMT

I'm actually still baffled at how a flagship phone can be sold by a big company such as o2 and not receive an update like this I have never known it before its shocking.
