Yes because you more than likely in one of the regions that do, the UK is one of the regions that doesn't along with other countries too.

Again I paid for a flagship and promises of "Monthly" Updates.

I'm now on a November update and it's February.....
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] adicken:
I agree. Shocking service on a flagship!
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] thepublocal:
I came from Oneplus 9 Pro to Find X3 Pro .... I thought their updates were shocking but at least they gave you the option to download it manually.

This is ridiculous !
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] adicken:
I know. Why dont they just give you the file to download yourself. I'm sure someone on here had a file they could share but couldnt due to work or something. Maybe they can now???
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] stuclark:
I have been asking Oppo UK via twitter today. They've essentially confirmed that the ColorOS 12 update for UK CPW phones hasn't been signed off yet, so no dates are available.

They used the same excuse (multi carrier blah blah) for the lack of monthly security updates
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] adicken:
Cheers for the info Stu. Just a waiting game then.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] victoronline07:
I just received the mobile yesterday, and I skip the news of A12 but from December, even with the November patch, it's C.37, I did what you say but it didn't work for me, I'm also from Spain the mobile belongs to Yoigo, I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Chippy_boy:
Off topic I know but I am waiting 8 months for the key selling point of 10-bit photos. Photos taken in 10-bit have never worked, in that the resultant files cannot be read on Windows: the file format provided by Oppo is broken. Considering this is one of the most highly marketed selling points for the device, it never working and not being fixed in 8 months, is pretty diabolical.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Guest69:
I am pretty eager to get the update, especially the camera but being stuck with 11 for the time being is not affecting my ability to use the kit. I love this handset, love the UI, love the camera and the ease of the personalisations etc. I'm really happy with my choice still, and if 12 makes it any better, buzzing!

I don't mind waiting that much, the niggle is there but it's really not making me cross. Maybe it's my age, maybe it's the medication but I'm not going to start hating OPPO any more than any other big company.

UK o2 network with sky, still on November update!
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Guest69:
Hmm, maybe it's because I remember coming home from school to find we'd got our 1st landline phone installed, and got our 1st colour TV which was more deep screen than wide-screen, I am loving this phone and am not crying about an update being a couple of months later than it was rumoured to be scheduled for release. There's worst **** happening in the world.

Look on the bright side, at least you're not an apple sheep.

Peace.

Out.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
Your point of view is partly acceptable. But you shouldn't forget that at least the security patches need to be updated.

It's a good phone, but that doesn't justify the lack of updates.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] adicken:
I'm quite suprised Guest 69 that no one has risen to your subtle jibes at us being likened to children and complaining about not receiving updates. I can see that no one reacted to your first post and fair play to them for refraining from doing so, as your post is pointmless, except for trying to wind other members up.

However, I thought that your second post really was a little out of order as no one is crying about not getting the update, and true there is a lot of other stuff going on in the world. But, the people on here paid alot of money for a phone with promises of regular updates which have failed to arrive for some, and that has lead to a lot of frustration. Comparing it to other things going on in the world is nonsensicle and just inciting negativity and a reaction (which now you have duly got).

My suggestion Guest 69, is that unless you have something constructive to say, then dont say it. Making out that we are being ridiculous for complaining about timely updates is just AS ridiculous.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] syneoa:
@Guest69 straight on point mate, I guess you are GenX as me, quite different breed than the rest of millennials and especially GenZ with total lack of patience in their life :D
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
But sorry, the issue is not patience. This is about respecting commitments. A lot of owners are stuck on the november patches. Ok, is not a drama, nobody died from this. But Oppo simply does not keep its commitments. These are the facts. It doesn't seem normal to me
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Guest69:
Hey there, you've misinterpreted my intentions friend. Please don't take the following as anything other than an attempt to clarify my opinions and to absolutely not try to upset anyone (that would be a huge contradiction as what upsets me about this is the manner in which a handful of the contributers speak to each other).

I wrote the 1st post and genuinely thought I'd messed up posting it as I couldn't see it in the thread. I then decided to read the thread in it's entirety before I tried again, my word, and I'm really not trying to be inflammatory, "what a bunch of angry, spoiled children" is my pure reaction but I didn't want to contribute to what was so disappointing to me. I did temper my given opinions by suggesting it was my age that made me see it that way. I could easily go a couple of paragraphs pointing out my views on your retort, but I see no point.

This is why I left forums as a whole about 10 years ago, instead of places to go to find solutions to issues I had, or just general info about some tech that I might not have worked out on my own, they became what they are now, and I'm sorry for the children analogy but I can't think of a better one, a school playground full of angry adolescents, quick to jump on and humiliate anybody with less knowledge on a subject than them instead of reaching out to help. That's why I left all forums before and that's why I'm leaving them alone again very soon after dipping my toes again. Yes, no loss to anyone. Same old toxicity swamping the minority of people who appreciate the community.

Shame.

Peace.

Out.

Had to edit this in as it's an itch I have to scratch: I'd be really interested in hearing what actual real life problems this missing update is causing. I'm not talking about not being able to show others that your handset has the absolute latest OS, actual specific details of how it is affecting your usage of the phone?

Again, I'm really, REALLY not trying to upset anyone, I'd be happy for people to point out what I'm not seeing or appreciating., all I can think of is some miniscule, if at all, security issues and the fact that I'm furious that the boy from the classroom up the corridor has OS whatever. I'm always up for some enlightenment.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Guest69:
Oh
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
It's your approach, certainly not mine..
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Guest69:
However you look at it, it's not an approach, it's an opinion, and it's plain that you don't like people having opinions that differ from yours. As you said above, "your opinion is partly acceptable". Now I think I know that you didn't mean offense when you wrote that, but you'd have been better saying "partly palatable" - far less oppressive and also less dictatorial. Have a good day 😁

Peace.

Really out.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
I could say the same about you. But I say that I have not explained myself well. Yours is not an opinion. It is a pragmatic approach to behavior. "Considering that there is nothing I can do about it, I accept it." I do not agree with this. But I have no problem with those who don't think like me.

Have a good day too
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] thepublocal:
Still no sign of A12 in the UK for me !
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] adicken:
Yeah I know. ☹️
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] hlhmark:
Real life issues for me are that I'm unable to use my phone for work emails anymore unfortunately.

As the MDM (Mobile Device Management)/Company Policy we use requires our devices to be on relatively new Security Patches.

2 months I believe is the cut off and I've gone over this period about 3x now so each time it happens the Work Profile that is created will work however E-mail/Calendar access stops and the agent app prompts to Search for device updates stating Security patch isn't on the latest.

I use my personal phone with a work profile due to the nature of my work and the fact specific applications with confidential data are Encrypted.

The phones excellent and I'm the kind of user who uses my phone for all aspects of my life basically and it's great as a device it's awesome speed, slickness, camera's, software features, screen, charging but the updates are cr*p so it's leaving me able to use it for both purposes x,y,z months but stopping me for others.

Colleagues who use Mid Tier Samsung phones are able to continually use their devices without issue as they are consistently updated hell even my colleagues A72 is on Android 12 with the latest Security patch to boot
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Chippy_boy:
I responded to a similar comment earlier and will repeat the same logic in my reply here, by asking you a few questions:

1. If your house doesn't burn down and you don't get burgled in the next 12 months, would you think that justified it to be OK to not bother with house insurance?

2. You could switch off your virus scanner and disable your fireware for a few weeks and not get hacked or infected with malware. Would you think therefore that we don't need AV scanners or firewalls?

I am not aware of anyone who has been compromised as a result of the lack of security patches. Perhaps some people not on such forums, have been. But whether they have or not, is sure rather irrelevant. The fact is that Google issue what they describe as being *critical* security updates. Not, marginally irrelevant, who cares whether you have them or not, updates. *Critical* updates.

And to be without such updates for several months, on the company's FLAGSHIP phone, is frankly a very poor show indeed.

So I managed to find a ofp update file for the x3 pro (screenshot below) and I'm not sure if it will work with EU models and it may need flashing software also with this website you have to pay money towards it.

are you saying that there is update yet for coloros 12

CPH2173 firmware uk​

thank you
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] thepublocal:
Read what I said again :)
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Sedalin:
Now this just got really ridiculous.

My wife's X3 Lite just got ColorOs12 update and newest security update. My X3 Pro still sits on ColorOs11 version 26 with security patch from November 21.

Both phones were bought at the same time and same place and both are with same provider (O2 UK).
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] adicken:
Is the X3 lite got the cpw build number? Interesting to know.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] adicken:
I see. Still seems that the cpw models are being left out. My build is cph2173cpw_11_a.26
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Sedalin:
My X3 Pro is non cpw and as you can see it's behind lowest model in terms of security and FW updates.

As I have said before both phones were bought at the same time in the same O2 shop.

My X3 pro build.

CPH2173_11_A.26​
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] adicken:
Oh. Sorry. Thought that was the build if the lite. Still pants though.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Sedalin:
Photo above is the build of my wife's Lite which received update earlier than my X3 Pro which still sits on ColorOs11 with November security patch
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] hlhmark:
2 days until it's 3 months out of date now....

Given up at this point for getting timely updates and it's a shame as the hardware and software (other than update timing) is great.

But that S22 Ultra is just around the corner with consistent timely updates (based on the S21 Ultra)
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Sedalin:
I still cannot understand how my wife's X3 Lite got ColorOs12 and newest security patch already and my X3 Pro did not.

Both bought same time and place. Both with same carrier too (O2 UK).

I'm still on November security patch and colorOs11.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
Yes, good HW (like other flagships) but without or random updates it's not a good deal
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
I've been doing some digging about.

If you have a REGION:OPERATOR GB:CPW device (which most UK models are with the exception of some Vodafone.)

Carphone Warehouse is the UK wholesaler to EE, o2 & 3, some of Vodafone and obviously devices purchased via Carphone Warehouse will have the prefix GB:CPW.

The updates been produced, it's in the hands of Carphone Warehouse to sign it off, balls in their court, has been for quite some time, Oppo is just waiting for the go ahead.

It's been suggested loosely that it's going to roll out any day now, maybe week 4 of February at the latest... Hopefully.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Sedalin:
As I've mentioned before I do have X3 Pro and my wife has X3 Lite. Both are CPH builds, both bought in same O2 (UK) shop at the same time. My X3 pro stuck on ColorOs11 November security patch, my wifes Lite received ColorOs12 and newest patch days ago. Have a look few posts up. I have attached screenshot of X3 Lite screen and my X3Pro build few posts under that.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] adicken:
Maybe we all need to get on to carphone warehouse and tell them to pull their fingers out and get it approved!
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
Delete please :)
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
That's nice. I'm assuming you meant UK:CPW because CPH isn't relevant :)

I don't know the ins and outs of why it hasn't been signed off sooner, apparently they've been sitting on X3's firmware for "quite some time". (CPW)

I've just presented what I've been told to hopefully to give some light on the situation.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Sedalin:
There's absolutely nowhere in builds or anywhere else showing CPW in either of the phones.

Even if it was they're still from same place and time, same operator too and phone 2 models lower got all relevant updates sooner than flagship. This is ridiculous.

[OPPO Find X3 Pro] maxellxl:
U know that texting them wont help? Patience...usually upgrades are delivered at the end of the month.

What I can advise u is to change the region in settings and use VPN with this region to try to get an update. Check Thailand.

[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Chippy_boy:
If wonder if OPPO themselves know or even care just how damaging to their reputation and desirability this utterly shambolic and frankly piss poor management of updates is?

I really like my Find X3 Pro but I cannot imagine buying another OPPO after this. Fancy losing valuable customers simply by being crap about updates???

(I'm still pissed with them that the much hyped and promoted 10-bit photos capability still does not work and never has, nearly 1 year after launch. At this rate the x5 Pro will be out and the X3 Pro will be receiving even less attention... If that is possible.)
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] thepublocal:
The S22 Ultra is looking more and more appealing with each day a lack of update comes.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
1st point. There updates have been in line with the industry, they rolled the EU GDPR ROM about 2 weeks after Samsung did for the S21 Ultra, Xiaomi mi 11 ultra etc. (I believe but don't quote me on this, CPW had the update to vet prior to this!) So not that shabby really tbf, red tape and procrastination from regulatory bodies and vendors have held it back in our case.

Camera issues, I get your irritation, should be a fairly straightforward fix.
