Now it is officially confirmed that we wont get Android Q... Cheers!

It was a mistake buying Honor Play. My previous phone was Honor 5x. It launched with Lollipop in 2016 and was promised '2 years update'. The updates were discontinued after barely 8 months after and I got stuck with Marshmallow. Luckily I unlocked my phone and was able to use custom ROMs to mitigate the problem.

I decided to give Honor a second chance, despite all the controversies. The Honor Play was being offered at a good value after the price drop. It's probably one of the worst decisions made. Obviously performance is there, but bootloader was locked. Still I would live with that. And now this! Wow! Phones with the same chipset (P20) and cheaper price (8X) are getting the update and we are not!

Learned my lesson the hard way. Never ever buying any Honor or Huawei again, and will avoid Chinese companies as much as possible.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] FarGuddu:
I don't buy this story one bit, as it was a similar case with my Galaxy S6 Edge receiving an Oreo update which it never did. And if the inferior 8X can handle the latest software, why can't the Play do the same? It's beyond me really (in case, it's true).
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ahnaftaj:
It's sad, but it's true!

You can check other replies from the Twitter page/ Honor Club forums/ Huawei Central website...

This has become basically a scam.

If they relent and push update like they did for Honor 7x I'll be okay. But I'm never ever buying Honor products again.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] redultra82:
SO its better to have the latest OS that could cripple the phone as specs not good enough (so they say), then having a older OS on and fast etc phone ?

I love updates and new features, but not if im going to be frustrated with the phone lagging or harder to use

I know what I would prefer, plus it not like Pie is some old old software and suddenly apps wont support it
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] dctj:
I'm so done with Huawei.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] pja1985430:
Finger crossed. I bought two Honor play phones and View 20 and later gave out one Honor play to a friend and Honor View 20 to a girl friend. This source that claims 'low hardware' as the reason for Honor Play not receiving Android 10 is not authoritative to me.

My believe is that Android 10 will come later next year as floated online initially.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ahnaftaj:
Agreed. Would prefer a smooth Android 9 experience over a buggy Android 10

The source is trustable. That is the official Honor India page. And they have given this reply to multiple tweets.

The people in Honor support chat has said this as well. Obviously this claim of theirs is a bogus claim but the chance of us getting the update is very dim. There is a chance that regions other than India would get the update but this is very unlikely because the largest market for the phone was India.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] :
It's honor india. They done the same thing with other honor phones too.

Still, after hearing that, i might stop getting a huawei phone and i'm sorry for you all that you got this underwhelming news

[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Buffy_crp:
According to Huawei uk on Twitter the final list hasn't been made so still a glimmer of hope. https://twitter.com/HuaweiMobileUK/status/1186233485800943617?s=20

Maybe honor India jumped the gun wouldn't be the first time.

[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Still, a big shame. It's still Honor india so..
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] pja1985430:
I thought as much. The most questionable part of the India's Honor tweet is the low hardware reference on Honor Play when compared to 8X that would receive Android 10. It doesn't make sense to me.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Buffy_crp:
In response to an email honor UK said this.

In response to your inquiry, kindly note that the Honor Play is not yet scheduled to receive the Android 10 / EMUI 10 upgrade. So far, the only Honor models confirmed to receive the update are Honor 20, Honor 20 Pro and Honor View 20.

Of course, we are constantly testing the update on other models as well, so there is a possibility that the Honor Play will receive the upgrade in the future. Therefore, we invite you to keep an eye on our official website and social media platforms for any official announcements.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] _a!:
It's ok, the different parts of the company are confused, or there's no control over what their staff post. Best to be sure and only get Android One or Pixel phones in future if you're concerned about updates as Huawei,Honor,Moto etc etc just launch so many phones there's no way they are going to support all of them. It's disappointing when you get a phone and find 14 months in it's abandoned but there you go. You live and learn. No more Huawei/Honor phones for me. There are a million Android phones out there and they're all pretty much the same hardware wise as far as I'm concerned - it's the software that's important. If Google are going to spend loads adding AR or whatever but I'm not going to be able to use it because some dodgy Chinese company can't get its **** together then I'm not interested.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] missing meteor showers:
I believe that Honor Play will get Emui 10. Let's just wait and see. All the Kirn 970 devices will get it. Huawei said that there would be more than 35 models getting EMUI 10. But there are only 33 models in the list. Moreover, according to the circled words, more models are on their way so this is not the final list. In addition, Honor Note 10 is not in the list either.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] pja1985430:
I hope so. Honor Play is just too good in its category to let go not updated - when it has a capable hardware.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] phone-company:
As i know Honor uk already said that the Update comes in February 2020?!
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ryanraven:
It may not get EMUI 10 but maybe it will get android 10? ???

No EMUI 10 for Honor Play.

https://www.gizchina.com/2020/01/16/these-huawei-and-honor-smartphones-will-not-get-emui-10/
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ryanraven:
Not officially from Huawei though, have you got a direct link to a Huawei webpage confirming this?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] pja1985430:
EMUI 10 is based on Andrroid 10. So there is no way to receive Android 10 without getting EMUI 10.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ryanraven:
Exactly my point! ??? Started with 8.1 most phones get at least 2 android versions! ??? But I guess the Honor Play wasn't very popular so I guess we can say goodbye to Android 10 until Huawei release an official statement saying it will get it ???
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] FarGuddu:
There are lots of things going in the Huawei world and there are lots of questions asked by our readers but most of them are related to the EMUI 10. Since we’ve covered all of the topics, here are the top and most asked questions.

Q. Huawei Nova 3, Nova 3i, Y9 2019, P20 Lite, Honor Play EMUI 10 status?

A. These smartphones won’t receive EMUI 10/Android due to “hardware limitations as it requires higher hardware specifications for optimal performance“.

According to Huawei, these smartphones will continue to provide regular security updates.

Is there any latest news on the EMUI 10 for Honor Play?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] S0bes:
Latest news - we won't get it
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric Z:
Well, according to this thread on hihonor.com India, he was told that it is the camera component that fails Android 10 testing again and again...
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] pja1985430:
What is the camera sensor model for Honor Play? I can't find it online.

P.S : Nokia 6.1 has even inferior camera sensor compared to Honor Play yet it is receiving Android 10 Update. I strongly believe Honor India is giving excuses for failing to provide the right reason for the Honor Play not getting EMUI 10
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric Z:
I don't know either. I didn't spend any time trying to dig into it. I do think it sounds like a strange reason. It is not impossible, though. But indeed it sounds strange..
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric Z:
I just happened to read a post posted in Chinese saying that the (rear camera) main component is OV16B10. The auxiliary component is HI259.

I don't know the HI259 thing, but it certainly shouldn't be the OV component that is causing the problem, if any. Because the OV component is said to be used in some Honor 10 and Honor V10 models (some have OV16B10, some have IMX498, the post said), and Honor 10 / V10 is getting EMUI 10.

However, I don't have much hope for Android 10 coming to the Honor Play.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
Honor just making excuses, trying to fool us :(

Really disappointing stuff.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] pja1985430:
It is sad though. If they are finding it difficult to give us EMUI 10 there is Magic 3 based on Android 10 which works with other Honor models. we can make good use of that
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] vedu.07:
What is Magic 3?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] pja1985430:
I meant Magic UI 3

That is surprising to know. Try to check for update using the Hicare app.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] redultra82:
No vowifi in mine, so must be certain regions
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric Z:
VoWiFi and VoLTE is unfortunately carrier dependent. So if your particular carrier has no plan to do it / enabale it together with Honor, then you really shall not put your hope on getting it in future updates.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] redultra82:
I got the phone from Amazon sim free, so I would have thought option be there and then up to my network if it works or not
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric Z:
Yes I agree that it is how we think it "normally" shall be. However it is very common for phone manufacturer to hide these settings especially when the service is detected as NOT provided. My guess is that they don't what their consumers to be confused, but honesty, I of course don't know.

I remember reading from somewhere else that manufacturers, for instance SONY, does always have these options visible in their SONY AOSP. When the service is not provided, it is just greyed out, i am just not sure if it is the case for all sony volte capable phones.

I am more pissed by the fact that Honor Play is not getting android 10, which I believe (from where I read in Chinese) is due to the strategical shift of the Play line.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Sakshat Shinde:
Statement retraction?

I went to the linked twitter thread, but the original tweets are now deleted. Does this mean Honor India retracted their statement about Honor Play not going to get EMUI 10?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric Z:
I remember that tweet. But it seems more like blah blah stalling than real. Besides, I read on Chinese Huawei forum that people already got reply from the customer service, that there is currently no plan for OS update to Honor Play. "currently no plan" tells everything now IMO.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Amlan1999:
Everytime its Honor India's Fault.

Last time I got Honor 8, they pulled the same thing about hardware unsupported despite other countries getting it. They just signed off. I gave honor play another chance. Never again.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] isabel44:
Me too, but finally 2 days ago (11/5/20) I got an update, all in one, from November to April.

[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
Its really sad to see they won't update the phone to android 10. When the phone launched they kept saying it has flagship level hardware :( , now that they have sold the device they're not interested to update because they've the money now
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] pja1985430:
I received June Patch about 5 days ago. It is sad to see the Honor Play is not going to receive Android 10.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric Z:
Thanks for info about june patch.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] pja1985430:
You are welcome.

Huawei should have at least try to give Honor Play Android 10 for the sake of the fans. I have other expensive devices but I like Honor Play for its modesty and ruggedness. It has dropped more that 10 times from the height I would have expected it to stop working or shattered. My Samsung Galaxy S10 in comparison fell half the height and the screen shattered.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric Z:
I do think it is a death hope now.

Funny I am literally looking at mu Huawei P30 (which is my main phone) and the Honor Play, I still have the impulsive wish to switch back to Honor Play. It is actually a quite good phone.

But of course I know I shall stick to P30. I just think that honor Play is a pretty phone, too.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] pja1985430:
I quite agree with you that there is no hope for Honor Play receiving the Android 10 . What do you think of the HarmonyOS ? If there is any chance it can be tested on Honor Play in the future.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric Z:
I really really really don't think so, by many many reasons which no need to spend time for a discussion here:o:o

Personally, I believe that Honor play is as it is now, and will only get security patch until end of support.

Leave it alone. Nowadays so many vulnerabilities are found each day it's crazy to not being able to protect yourself from them.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] kkjb:
The option on stock Android 10 is only to "not apply updates at next reboot" You would have to stop update services. Root will be required. File manager to edit files. I have no idea how involved that would be, but then if a rollback to older version is your preference. Factory Images flashing, then stopping required services.

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Dallas2346:
Well i have followed multiple tutorials, and idk what im doing wrong, but everytime i go to boot the patched boot image the phone just bootloops. I have tried different versions of magisk stable, beta, canary, but to no avail. I think i need some help, sorry

Thank you
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Exokan:
I had to full wipe to stop that from happening. Then the whole Android flash-all, followed by Patched Boot (with latest Magisk) seemed to work fine. Dunno really what caused it. May be left over user data? This thread may help if there is something from a Magisk Module causing the bootloop. I didn't try it during my install attempts but it may be worth a shot?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Dallas2346:
would a adb backup up cause any harm? And about how long did it take you to reflash the phone?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
Flash the Magisk patched boot to both slots either with a --slot all command or by flashing to one manually changing slots and flashing to the other all before final system boot.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Exokan:
Sorry, missed this (and hopefully you've already resolved the issue). I don't think doing a back up would cause any harm, although to be fair, I've never used adb backup. I don't think it'll help on a restore though. Reflashing took all of 15 minutes... signing in and getting all my apps up and running again was a little tedious as Titanium wasn't restoring some app data correctly (or the apps themselves didn't 'take'). Overall, not the worst.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] weasel5i2:
Hello,

This is my first attempt at .NET CF programming. It is in reference to this thread.

It attempts to cycle the power to the GPS hardware eight times (at 200ms intervals) by calling GPSOpenDevice() and GPSCloseDevice().

It also shows the raw information provided by GetSystemPowerStatusEx2() if you need to troubleshoot your battery.

I'm not sure that it works, but it attempts to do programmatically what is described in the thread link above.

Full source code is included. I think it is also a great tutorial VB.NET project for anyone wanting to learn how to read the power on their device.

Please let me know what you think, and if it even works towards being a workaround for the HTC/Qualcomm chip standby-power drain bug. If it does work, I'll improve it (add autorun/exit-after capability, systray, etc..)

To use this without dealing with VS2005/compiling/etc, just copy HQPowerFix.exe from the bin/Release folder (in the zip) to your device (anywhere) and run it from there.

Note: These images are from my development machine. They look different on the device:

Regards,

--Weasel5i2
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Vladimyr:
Nice idea! But it seems would be useful to cycle gps state not a fixed amount of times, but based on result of battery drainage (if it's below the certain level, the fix was succeed and no need to cycle gps anymore).

Also it would be useful to create a "command-line mode", when the program is starting and doing the fix without user interference. When done, it makes possible to launch iGo and this program from one script file, to implement the fix automatically after exit from iGo.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] weasel5i2:
I found the MSDN documentation on the SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS_EX2 structure:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa926903.aspx.

It seems I didn't properly implement this structure's usage in my code, so I am planning to fix it tonight when I get home from the office.

@Vladimyr: That's a great idea, I do plan on doing that if this program turns out to be worthwhile and actually do the GPS power-drain fix as intended. Once I figure out how to more accurately read the mV/mA metrics, I will start working on that.

I'm also now working on a front-end/back-end for controlling a Car PC from a Pocket PC.. I think an older iPaq is cheaper than a Lilliput touchscreen ;)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] khaytsus:
Any updates to your program? Also, is it possible to edit the thread title and put GPS in it? I'd been meaning to reference back to this one and it took me a while to find it. :)
