Date bug was probably just a translation issue. Nice you mentioned, i haven't noticed that.
Question How many android OS updates will the x90 pro plus receive?
- Thread starter Koysii
- Start date
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.
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.
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.

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.

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

Bit pants but can live without dark mode.
Been keeping light mode on recently, on my edge 30 ultra, in preparation for the bugs of the X90PP2For 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).

Ah I guess this shortly is vivo speak for nothing happening in 17 days .. (and then the staged rollout using trial updates will take at least 7 days more for stable updates once it's ever published...
X90PP still having received a single security update since it was released (December patch end of December) likely that one was considered important as by that time many reviews written.
Stating something as a fact that doesn't happen...
Seems we have to be lucky if that crappy software with a 9.8 rated actively exploited bug is updated every three months. Sales of x90pro+ must have been dismal vs the expectations after the huge marketing campaign so now just treat it like a budget phone update wise...
Btw the march security patches by google include a fix for a zero day exploit which is actively exploited (full phone can be taken over, bug in the Samsung modem) and it's enough to know the telephone number of the user... Several vivo phones affected, amongst them x30,x50,x60 series... No patch yet for them.. Samsung and google published the updates for affected phones already, vivo hasn't. But yeah who cares, it's just a 9.8 /10 critical bug, right?
There was a 9.7 level bug in the February update that applies to the x90pp. It's very likely it's actively exploited too otherwise it would not get such a high score... This no update policy is simply a security nightmare by vivo.
Can only hope that google announces to remove certification for phones with slow updates else vivo likely won't improve...1The promise is only for funtouch OS, and while the x70 pro plus with funtouch OS got android 12 and 13, origin OS only got 13 and never 12....
With the x70pro+ the real precessor of the x90pro+ I would not hold much hope. Especially seeing it will enter March on December security update which for a new flagship is simply intolerable. Xiaomi and BBK seem to outdo each other in who can provide slower updates, but BBK clearly wins on the we can provide less major upgrades than any other major producer...
And no no bootloader unlock/root for x90 series! So no way for AOSP.
