OREO uptdate for MediaPad M3?

[jkissane]

one thing might try is a group effort of hitting their twitter with requests for security patches.

Seems Huawei CS don't have a clue (in Ireland at least) as an update to B303 with a security patch of Nov '17 appeared on my device towards the end of Dec.

The latest security patch for M3 is November 2017 patch
It's has been rolled out over OTA but still not found on Huawei firmware finder app

You might be right. I talked to Huawei Support this morning and have been told that a patch has been released mid-December and it could take up to 8 weeks to get the OTA here in Germany.

Just got a email from Huawei The Netherlands. They expect to release the Oreo update for the Mediapad M3 in Q1 of this year, so it should be out within a few weeks as Q1 is ending soon.

Not sure where to file this,, with the rumors of the M5 or the click bait web sites telling us how to load Oreo on our M3's with no link to the Oreo software..hmm

Sent you a pm with the original e-mail text.

I just don't trust the information that agent from customer service told you. He may be wrong.

We can only hope. Huawei italy on facebook told me there were no plans. I'd love to hear otherwise, this tablet is aweosme it only lacks roms to improve a few features (like external sd encryption, that is vital if you are a doctor and have to bring along patients data for studying)

It is not very credible .... in my opinion, we will not see Oreo

 

[lilbrat]

That's about as informative as the reply I received just the other day asking about Security Updates.. and your worried about a Nov. update, I'm stuck with May...lol

 

[Masteryates]

If we all had a choice of the last ROM from Huawei being a rock solid Nougat ROM or a buggy Oreo ROM, which would you choose?

For me, I'd take the Nougat ROM as Oreo doesn't enough new to the party.

Sometimes, be careful what you wish for.

Well, Dutch is a bit related to German and all I read in there was a) no mention of the M3 and b) only mention of other Huawei devices for Oreo.

Cheers Frank

I specifically asked in my e-mail about the Huawei MediaPad M3 with product number BTV-DLV09C100. Sure you can doubt anything, I just posted their reaction for your information. What you do with this info is your choice. I would recommend that you also contact your customer service desk from Huawei, the more requests they receive the more chance it will have to get it.

Sorry, this was unclear from what you posted earlier.

Good idea, thank you.

Cheers Frank

True, after your message I wrote them an e-mail again. This time they aren’t so sure about if it gets an update?!
I’m really happy with my device but I just lost my faith in the Dutch customer service.

Hartelijk dank voor uw reactie.

Helaas hebben wij momenteel nog geen informatie over of de MediaPad M3 de android 8 update zal ontvangen of niet en welke functies deze zal toevoegen aan uw toestel.

Op dit moment weten we alleen zeker dat de Mate 9, Mate9 Pro, Honor9, Honor8 pro, P10 & P10 plus deze update zullen ontvangen.

Wanneer het bekend wordt of uw tablet de update zal ontvangen is momenteel nog niet bekend.

Ik hoop u hiermee van dienst te zijn geweest.
