Hi
I have a 2 year old Honor 7 lite and I've noticed I'm not getting any system updates anymore, the last one was over a year ago. The system is currently EMUI 5.0.4 I thought it was because of tramp's mess with hawei, but some friends that bought an hawei phone a few months ago get new system updates regularly, does anybody know why? Thanks!

Old phone is old. Three years old phone is not likely to get new updates. Does your friends have Honor 7 lite?Y77 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2019 8:57 amHi

Re: Phone system updates
it is 2 yrs old, not old. my friends have honor 7s. is there anything on google play that i could download?
Re: Phone system updates
It was introduced 2016, thus 3 years old. It seems that most manufacturers do updating for couple of years max and after that... if it works it works, but don't expect any updates or patches.

Re: Phone system updates
I have the same phone & system. Now that you mentioned it, I haven't received a system update in a long time either. The phone continues to work without any issues - well, ignoring the battery drain of an old phone...

Re: Phone system updates
It would be interesting to challenge this as in issue under consumer protection law as a fault with the product. Maybe the consumer disputes board already has some case history.
Re: Phone system updates
It's normal they stop updating after a few years.
I'd unlock the boot loader to install custom ROMs, such as Cyanogenmod. Then you get updates and cool stuff like blocking ads in apps. It'd take some reading though. But the hardware secret storage would be gone (not your phone encryption) and that might stop some banking apps or media streaming from working.
