LG watch style still on may security patch...

Hello all, i bought throw ebay an LG Style, and i cant seem to update him to a more recent security patch, after several factory resets it keeps on May security patch.
The Android is still 7.1.1, and the android wear version is the last 2.8.0.
Is this the more recent security patch of this watch? If not what can i do to upgrade it?
Thank you all for the help
My LG Watch Style I bought on EBay is also still on the May 2017 security patch. I don't think LG sold enough of them to bother updating it again. Which is a shame because I think this could have been the defacto Android Wear Watch for people that aren't really concerned with fitness. I would have bought this brand new for the full retail price if it had NFC. I doubt I'm the only one. Then again I doubt there were enough if us to make a difference.
I stand corrected. I don't know when it happened, but I just checked my watch and it says
Android Wear: 2.8.0.182823779
Google Play services: 12.2.09 (530-184158736)
Android OS: 8.0.0
Android Security patch level: December 1, 2017
Well after i read your post i went to check it, and bam an updating downloading
With the exact same settings
Got info about update, will upgrade tonight

Huawei Mate 10 Pro, where's EMUI 8.1, when is OK Google gonna work, landscape homescr

Hi Members, when are UK HM10pro phone and users going to get the EMUI 8.1 firmware Android update (if ever), why does OK Google still not work, with it still greyed out, why have they still not sorted out having the home screen in landscape view (not just the apps).
I think Huawei leave a previous model behind ,like all Chinese makers, forget about there users of a previous model, and concentrate on there upcoming phone (The Mate 20 Pro)
I have the latest OTA UK user updates, I even tried that Huawei beta program app (load of rubbish, only for Chinese models).
I think this will be my first, and last Huawei phone product, I think I'll stick with Samsung next time (updates always funelled through at some point with them)
If anyone has an idea on resolving these issues, please post (I've done may full phone resets, so don't bother with this suggestion thanks)
I've also emailed Huawei many times about all the above issues, with there finale help being an update will come (or in the next update), this was months ago now, so very unreliable support.
Thanks
Same here. I regret buying mate Pro. Waiting for one plus 6t n I will get rid of this 10 pro. Absolute bollocks

Looks like we´ll never get EMUI 8.1 in the west, most likely EMUI 9 on Pie soon, as Pie beta program is running and expected to end Nov-30 so far.
Regarding UK devices, if you have some experience try rebranding to EU, which is constantly updated(on October security patch today). I posted a little guide to go UK -> EU on UK thread, check it out if you´re interested: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77825017&postcount=470
Hi All, thanks for the input and comments, so what it really comes down to is ..."don't buy Huawei again" from the vibes that I'm getting here.
I wouldn't want to do any unlocking and rooting, just to have bug fixed update, which should be offered by the manufacturer as a 'duty bound product service' provider anyway, ..no, this is not acceptable.
My only course of action is not to buy there products again, as a consumer that's the power we all have, and we should invoke this stance buy the casual manner by which Huawei, or anyother manufacturer chooses to do so.
Our mistake as buyers is, that we allow these large profit mongering technology companies to continue.
I don't include the likes of Apple, or Samsung, or Sony, these companies have a strong and proven track record, and in the end, are a safer bet with standing by there technology, and supporting there products a little more.
Thanks you members who posted comments.
Regards
Since getting a Mate 10 in February it has received improved night mode camera, monthly security updates, GPU Turbo (never used this), and face unlock. I am happy with that. Much better than Mate 9 that did not get any new features until Oreo arrived in January, and only security updates every 3 or 4 months. 8.1 is out on Chinese Mate 10 models, and Pie is on the way bring it on
This is for C185 region
OK Google Update
OK Google still not working here in UK, any idea when Mate 10 Pro will get Android Pie?? Im still on Android security Patch 1 June 2018 with no updates available? Anyone got a newer security patch?
Model BLA-L09
EMUI 8.0.0
LG and Samsung are as crap as Huawei for updates.
Good luck ever seeing an update on a LG - the wife's G6 (which was mine before she had it) had no security updates while it ran Android 7, was updated to Oreo, and has had one security update since.

As far as I know yes. I have read people using it on the emui9 Beta.
Emui 9 official build is available in firmware finder for c636 and fh. Soon it will be available for other regions.

Wow im happy about this feature available to Mate 10 Pro.
Do we know how well it works?
There is an article about this on Reddit. Can't copy link though 'cuz I'm new here.
Read the comments too that guy might be right I'm afraid.

I'm fully aware of that and all the other tech articles about this.
They are not true.
They are all based on a single picture released by Huawei. Journalistic misinterpretation or corporate misrepresentation - call it whatever you want, but you aren't getting EMUI 9 today or any time soon.
What really is happening is a roll-out of the final code of the Chinese build of EMUI 9 to the current members of the closed beta test. No final public roll-out, certainly no international roll-out of any kind today.
EMUI 9 is coming, it'll come to you. If you're lucky by the end of the year, but there's a decent possiblity of will come later than that.

BLA.-L09
Still on EMUI 8.0
ALP-L29 C185 still on EMUI 8.0
I would never buy Huawei anymore.
C'mon , people! The Update would be received by mid December. Which other phones received it, other than the ones that are by default with Android 9?
Or you expect the moment the update is uploaded to the server in a blink of an eye to get it?
Things ain't work this way.
In the Huawei Firmware Finder now...

True, but when I compare how One Plus developers work, it's a shame for Huawei team.
Will the ARCore apps work with EMUI 9 ?
Huawei P20 Pro. No EMUI 9.0 yet. I was under the impression that it was a global launch on 10 November.

Dunno where you get your information from but they never said that. There is no official release date.

How likely is the Huawei MediaPad M5 8 to get Android 10?

What are the chances? I know it released last year and it has been updated to 9.0, here in the UK anyway. But I want to know if it is future proof for at least the next android version. How are Huawei with updates?
My answer is based on someone in the US with a US M5, there is not a snowflakes chance in hell it's getting it. [emoji3]

To get 10 you first need to get 9.

9 is rolled out widely, but in the US. Nevertheless I doubt that we will see Android 10 from Huawei. Lucky are only those who were able to unlock their bootloader as they can use the GS images and will probably have Android 11 and ...
I saw a list of devices getting the emui 10 and only the Mediapad M6 was on it, so highly unlikely the M5 will ever see it.
haha doubt it, mine haven't even been updated to android 9... Never mind 10, its the 4g model... last update was August security patches
It's a great little tablet but still being stuck with 8 (here in the US, anyway) sucks. That lack of continuity among devices (10 on my Pixel 3XL and 4XL) is probably the most frustrating thing about living in the Android ecosystem.
My M5 10 has had official Android 9.1 for quite a while now. My latest security patch is from october this year.
I have read that the M5 Lite 8 has Android 10 available as beta in some zones, although I don't know if the sources are good.

Hi,
can you post the source please?
I have M5 10.8 LTE and I have EMUI9.1 since August 2019 and still received a few day ago security patch october 2019.
I have no insider knowledge on this, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility. On one hand Huawei have released a comprehensive list of devices to get 10 and the M5 isn't on it. But on the other hand, Huawei have a reputation to fix after the Trump/Google ban debacle, and the pinned tweet on their UK Twitter account says that they are committed to Android updates for existing devices. It wouldn't surprise me if they extend their 10 rollout just to rebuild their rep.
I inquired Huawei UK regarding EMUI 10 (as I asked specifically for my 8.5 LTE) and the customer support replied regarding the matter and said that "the software should be with you by the end of January (2020)."

No security updates since 6 months

Hello
My device (COL-L29) didn't receive any updates since April, did Huawei stopp updating the device?
I sent to the support but they said that they are testing something.
There's an August 2020 update coming soon. I've got two Honor 10's here, one has already been updated. Officially the Honor 10 has been available for two years in may (released may 2018) and I kind of expected nothing after april/may 2020 as I expected just 2 years of updates.
Anyone here play PubG? The performance getting bad at pubg.. And yeah there's no update after emui 10.1
I doesn't play any games on my device but I format it every two weeks or three to maintain the performance, it's an issue with all android phones
