I seem to be the only person concerned about not receiving updates and being stranded at patch level 1 January 2018. Surely STK's time would be better spent getting OTA upgrades working again?
Wileyfox is back!
- Thread starter Abdullah S.A.
- Start date
The only promise we got from them is that we will get Oreo (this month) but nobody knows if they will continue pushing (security) updates to their devices. Not forgetting to mention that Wf swift 2 range is now about 1.5 years old and they might drop their support very soon.
I figure that by now, every update is a win 
We're not entitled to anything, I'll be happy with anything we get. But my buying another WF phone will depend on the quality and frequency of the updates (and the counter has been reset - pre-trouble WF was an insta-buy for me).

Stk seem to like the happy go lucky appearance as wf has but keeping people happy in a fickle market needs time investing. We will see what happens.I figure that by now, every update is a win
In a dutch forum a forum member was told that this week the first beta testers will be selected from the Wileyfox (NL?) facebook channel. After that the update will be released.
Strange that beta testing wasn't started yet…..

That's strange, I asked the live chat a week ago and they said it'll be released for everyone directly, no beta testing.
Well I am due an update in two months. May be bye bye Wileyfox for me. Poor communication by STK adds on to the fact that Wileyfox sold me a screenprotector the day before they went awol. Trust ebbing away.
WileyfoxNL just posted on Facebook that they need 4 beta testers to test Oreo on swift 2/x/+ devices, seems that the guys on the live chat don't know what the hell is happening in the company where they work.
I've just asked off the Wileyfox website and once youve posted the question you get another box where you have to repeat everything. Have asked for an update and it's the NL who get it first. Worth asking to see how much they know whats going on
This was the reply. Like I keep on saying, all it needs is a bit of info.
So this is the announcement on FB NEderlands using google translate.
"Okay, it did take a little longer, excuse me, we're just like people sometimes. ?
The following updates and upgrades are about to roll out like you were used to. Android Oreo 8.1 stands for the entire swift 2 range on point of launch, we think with approx. 2-3 weeks. ?."
So one person says it's before the end of the month. This states it's 2-3 weeks.
Blooming hate BS.

Update on this update: Wileyfox NL just published the names of the four testers who are gonna test oreo tommorow. Oreo is coming probably (let's say I am 99% sure ) next week.
If I was a betting man I would put money on, unforeseen circumstances causing delays next week.
yeah well... if and when it comes, I'll be happy. Doesn't come after all, I'll be disappointed and move on.If I was a betting man I would put money on, unforeseen circumstances causing delays next week.
I'll not deny that I've been checking the 'software update' in the device settings every single day (sometimes twice)
and I'm probably not the only one.Announcement "COMING SOON"!!!!!! Oh and they love keeping us updated with news. Well, I think every piece of news has been someone chasing them.yeah well... if and when it comes, I'll be happy. Doesn't come after all, I'll be disappointed and move on.

I'm waiting for it too. I've just bought 12 Wileyfox Swift 2 X for €55 a piece. New phones at work.
Currently I flashed VioerOS 7.1.2 because this Rom is really smooth and customizable.

According to a post on the official wileyfox facebook page truecaller has now been dropped. End of the month fast approaching.
The update may not be released this month since Wileyfox Belgium also posted this week on Facebook that they needed testers. Who's gonna ask for testers next week? Global page of Wileyfox? Wileyfox France?
