Question How many android OS updates will the x90 pro plus receive?

[P6P]

Yes, I noticed improvements on the AF of the 2x and a higher quality of the zoom on the 3.5x (not a revolution, but still some improvements)
More fluidity of the system, fixed the date bug on the lockscreen
I don't have much time to fully test the camera, that's what I quickly noticed

Date bug was probably just a translation issue. Nice you mentioned, i haven't noticed that.

Italian , bug show the same date and wrong day's name... Now work perfect

 

[P6P]

It sounds as an important update... also for the improvements to battery in standby mode

Well that's something you won't notice directly i think. You'll probably have to give it some days to settle. I'm kinda disappointed about that update since notifications are still not visible on some apps in dark mode. That was the only thing I hoped they'll fix. Everything else was fine for me.

Yep same here. (German)

On my lock screen the date is displayed as 30 3, Thursday. Is it properly displayed as Thursday 30 March now? Could you share a screenshot of how it looks for those who are not enrolled in the beta programme?

Well as I said, support will say anything you like to hear. Nothing they announce to fix will get fixed more likely than them saying nothing about it....

Seeing the global x90 pro getting monthly security updates means also the promise for 3 android upgrades clearly doesn't apply to the x90pp.

Just received 20.1 trial as well and all ok so far. Will post some more photos in the other thread soon.

It's fixed a big undocumented bug/problem from the last build where I wasn't able to sideload apk files and I read other users having the same issue previously.

Can you check if by chance the update restored vivo iManager and/or Vivo appstore. That would be the most likely explanation - because if they are removed you cannot sideload apk files - restoring them fixes it. Now any update by Vivo could reactivate some of their spyware/bloatware apps - and likely even in that case make them impossible to remove anymore.

Happened with phone and messages on some update - they used to be removable with adb but now this is not possible anymore. At least they weren't restored but that is a thing vivo could easily do too with a system update.

still no update here

 

[extremecarver]

For me neither but I don't know if it's related to the phone triggering something because of restricting the rights with app ops (and now unable to reverse anything as it locked me out of additional rights - but I will not hard reset it as I don't want to invest any more time in this crapware and only have to endure another 2 months or maybe reconsider and wait for Pixel 8 Pro).

Also I don't see anywhere where you could download a rom for local install.

 

[ef1x]

Im curently running stock without debloat 512Gb version, also no updates available , no trial version update available

 

[cozzysa]

Same, no normal or trial updates. 512gb version too. And no debloat for me.

 

[Haskren]

But is the update officially released? If nobody has received anything other than trial updates, I guess it's just not ready yet

 

[extremecarver]

Don't get it on trial either. Clicking the trial button makes system update query vivo servers, and vivo account also some requests.

Also many requests to beacons.gvt2.com
And so on. That's it.

Sure... but I have trial updates actived but still haven't received it. I suppose they have a cap for maximum number of testers.

 

[franagan75]

I just got the phone this is my latest version that is being downloaded

 

[jericho246]

Just received the new trial update. I have the 256GB variant.

 

[maxel77]

Just received too

 

[lemonade747]

Maybe just a small patch. I'm still not having it anyway.

 

[luontokoodaus]

I just got the phone this is my latest version that is being downloaded

How is this possible?

I am still running this.... https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/new-update-20-5.4574671/post-88406593
Are some of us just not getting updates for some reason?

 

[extremecarver]

So - it's June and X90PP are still rocking March security patches - while Samsung and google are already rolling out June patch...

Security Updates only every 3 months, in the first year. What will it be once X100 is out? Usually vivo software support then takes an instant drop.

And while the X90Pro Funtouch is the only Vivo phone in the Android 14 beta channel, of course X90PP doesn't appear there. 1 or 2 android updates is still the most likely answer to the original question. I guess 2 because Vivo has to improve and a single one is even too little for Chinese users nowadays. I would guess A14 and then a Final update to A16. And security updates dropping to 6 months frequency after 1.5 years. The update to A16 may then well be the second last update the phone receives, with a single security patch update around 6 months later. (or at the 4 year mark)

None are promised. 1-2 based on history of the China OS phones. E.g x70 pro+ the direct successor only got a single one so far from Android 11 to 13. It never got 12 and security updates arrived late. No monthly updates on security updates but rather 2-3 monthly in it's first 18 months. The funtouch OS x70 pro+ on the other hand received Android 12 and 13 as well as more timely updates.


I think no China OS vivo ever received more than 2 major upgrades and that's when they didn't skip one.

Security Updates run for 2.5 years or so.
Basically Vivo considers your phone to be junk after that time and expects you to upgrade. Resale value after 2 years therefore next to nothing....

I have x note, it is getting updates not rarely at all. May security patch.
