[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Sedalin:
I have just received an answer from Oppo Technical Support.

"Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for your reply.

We have just received today an announcement regarding the colorOS12 update for the Oppo device.

Unfortunately, due to major issues which have been brought to our attention within other EU regions, together with our concerns for the stability of Color OS12, we have made the difficult decision to put the rollout on hold for the Find X3 Pro. Our HQ technical team is working with priority to resolve the issues raised.

We appreciate you/our customers are excited and eager to receive the update, however our main priority is to provide quality products and a smooth user experience. We thank you for your support and patience."
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] iKlutz:
And what stability issues have other regions experienced? About the only issue I've read about is the "Always on display" feature sometimes not functioning. I call bull****.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
Carphone Warehouse are the "wholesaler / distributer" for many Oppo devices to network providers.

They are the centralised entity in the UK.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
I'll try to get further clarification on this, I'm in contact with a ColorOS dev team member, they're not working on the X3 currently but they're working alongside people who are & I can confirm there was a couple of halts put on the update due to some bugs that caused hangs / freezes.

I wasn't under the impression that was still a thing.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] alvydasd2:
If this was a custom ROM a single dev would've fixed the bugs it within a day or two ngl
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] hlhmark:
Genuinely lost for words... 😂

Find X5 (due for the beginning of April) or S22 Ultra (25th Feb UK)

I'm legitimately gutted as the X3 Pro is great it's just whatever this bottleneck is CPW or Oppo directly is ridiculous 3 months ... And now more likely even further, it's their flagship for flagship price and their promise was monthly updates for the UK too yet here I am.

If it had cost less I could ignore it but not for when it cost MORE than an S21 Ultra....

Regardless of who's bottlenecking whom it's not great really.

Think someone said they had launched it around same time as Samsung's A12 update, right yes some regions but the difference is Samsung did the pretty much all the UK carriers from what I can remember my friend definitely got his update a while ago on his S21.

I'm more frustrated over the fact that the security patch being this far out of date stops me using my phone for both personal and then the separate work profile because our MDM doesn't play nice.

Ughhh....

Sorry to rant man it's not your fault and it's good were even hearing about this from you it's appreciated!
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
It's cool, we're all frustrated, I have been feeding back and they've seen this forum, hence I'm being select with what I'm saying, obviously don't want anyone getting into trouble
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] dzontra83:
Hi guys, i have a X3 bought from France, and through VPN i managed to update it to C.37 version A12. Is there anyone else from FR that got updated to january C.41 or C.44 update? Thnx
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] shanec2k3:
Hi guys just came home and checked and was greeted with this when i checked for updates and i can confirm i have the cpw x3 pro build... I am in barbados btw using surfshark vpn set to uk london
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
I've come across it too :)
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] shanec2k3:
Interesting find after update is that build number no longer has cpw included. It's just cph2173_11_c.41 🤷‍♂️
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Sedalin:
Update available for me too (UK).

Weird but do you think that all the complaining to Oppo made someone 'push the button"?

Also shows how much Oppo Technical Care knows - as you have seen just few days ago they've replied to me stating that X3 updates were held up.

Nonetheless I'm happy update is here.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] shanec2k3:
Dunno but like you I'm grateful.. Can you check your build number to see if cpw is no longer there as well?
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
Can confirm your findings :)
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] shanec2k3:
Great 😃
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
Nope, I was advised "it was due any day, maybe next week the latest" by a colorOS Dev couple days back
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Sedalin:
CPW is gone from the build number indeed.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] thepublocal:
Still nothing for me :-( CPW build in UK
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] adicken:
Same here, nothing for me either. CPW build on virgin mobile.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] hlhmark:
Nothing for me either typical 😂
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] alvydasd2:
Nothing for me yet EE UK

Edit: A copy of the OTA would be nice at this point.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] hlhmark:
Yeah if any of you guys haven't restarted any chance of throwing across a copy of the OTA Update?
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
So, I've spoken to Oppo UK this time, this update was a trial run of a limited number of devices.

Providing everything goes well, it should start rolling out in 3 days en mass.

Hope this news helps :)
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] alvydasd2:
Why C41 when C44 exists wouldn't that be a more stable trial?
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
I'm only a retail consumer, not a Oppo representative.

I'm just grateful it's come forward, I'd imagine incremental updates should be more straightforward than a significant update going forward.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
I've spent the morning testing the hell out of this update, can't get it to fall over! looks great, phone feels more responsive, can't find any known significant bugs or glitches. Fingers crossed for the rest of you waiting that it's expedited in the next few days :)
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] thepublocal:
Oh go away. ;-)
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] thepublocal:
Out of interest, are you able to share what the AOD options are ?
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
Errrm, sure I'm away from home with work phone at the moment, give us half hour - 45 mins and I'll certainly grab u some screenshots if someone else doesn't beat me to it.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
Hope this helps, not a feature I use :)
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] iKlutz:
Three Mobile UK still nothing yet. Fingers crossed 🤞
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Jowe79:
But what version you talking about? C.41 or c.44? I currently c.41 find x3 pro
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] hlhmark:
Are you freaking kidding me.... My partner's Find X3 Neo has just gotten the ColourOS 12 update yet my X3 Pro still hasn't.......Beyond a joke at this point a £600 Vs £1000+ and the next Tier down gets it beforehand.

Both phones are unlocked and on CPW
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Guest69:
Find X3 pro, on UK sky mobile, just got my update today. Sky use o2 network.

Chuffed to get the update but gutted that the AOD is broken. The new options are there, it just doesn't work.

Edit, just found this fix in the other thread

Hi, to solve the problem with the always on display you need to install this fix:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iDluKHpyeMUQjtK3ONS9lNrDy2bnynPs/view

and then restart the smartphone.

it worked on my find x3 lite (IT).

I hope I was helpful :)
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] hlhmark:
Still sweet FA here 😂

That X5 Pro trying to Launch with the S22 series to compete is funny.

Samsun promised 4 years of timely updates for those devices ....
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
Well you know what to do @ next upgrade. ;)

As I've already said time and time again, the rollout en mass is due to happen tomorrow providing there's been no significant issues reported.

I've also advised there's been some delays due to kernel issues, gdpr conformity, vendor procrastination & Guangdong went into a strict lockdown at the start of the year.

The S21 update was riddled with bugs and stability issues. Check out their forums.

I'm sure the vast majority of consumers don't think about if a rollouts delayed, but if it's deployed and it's a crock, they're going to be complaining like banshees!
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Mackay53:
Some people are just never happy.

I bet if they released the update early they'd start to moan about all the bugs etc.

For everyone being impatient - theres no rush
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] hlhmark:
Well it's not case of not being happy, it's the fact my partner's CPW firmware'd X3 Neo has consistently gotten updates and security patches before my X3 Pro.

I'm aware of how they started with s21 issues that's unfortunate with having 2 bases for their phones though with different firmwares and changes to the base level OS i.e. Exynos and Snapdragon chipsets.

Exynos seemed to get the short end of the stick and required updates, however! They were pushed out vastly quicker.

You guys can't pretend there were no issues with this phone? I know I had the Android Auto bug on my X2 Pro and guess what it was present from Day 1 for months and months on my X3 Pro too, this is also well documented.

Yeah upgrade time I am considering because at least if I have issues they will be fixed vastly quicker over here in the UK.

Like I said I was more annoyed at the fact fair enough pushing it to X3 Pro's due to issues with the EU, side but a £6-700 cheaper Neo getting it isn't a fantastic look really when you pay for Hardware, Software and support.

I get it comes across as being happy but also saying there's people who aren't happy isn't a good fit , I've explained I need the damn update in order to continue using my phone for work purposes as it's massively inconveniencing me with the MDM used kicking off about out of date security.

I'm still on Nov Security patch... 🤷‍♂️ So anyways rant over I came to defend myself as it's not just a case of moaners we've paid for services and hardware/software regardless and I'm allowed my thoughts on this too :)
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Sedalin:
My wife owns X3 Lite and it has received more updates than my X3 Pro. I said it few posts above so not gonna repeat myself but she even got ColorOs12 quicker on it. Not mentioning her having very regular security patches (for oppo standards).
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
We all understand the frustrations you have, I'm not sure why it taken so long to roll out to CPW models, I never got an answer, curiosity the CPW prefix has been dropped from A12.

I am one of the early adopters of android 12, it's currently on a January security patch.

I've been hinted at that there should be an incremental update coming fairly soon too.

I have had none of the issues that some users are reporting with edge lighting / AOD.

I haven't come across anyone with any problems in the closed group that I would be concerned about that could delay the update that would inhibit the update going live for all this should be theoretically tomorrow all going well, if it hasn't happened I'll push for details :)

I think there's just been an unfortunate set of events that have dominoed and exasperated the delay at every step.

As for the Exenos chipset, blurgh... That cannot be a cheap exercise for a proven inferior product, if they dropped it and rolled the Snapdragon platform globally, I'm sure it would certainly streamline their portfolio and simplify updates, I'm just not a huge fan of OneUI and the consistent failings of Exenos to be in the same tier as the Snapdragon counterparts.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Chippy_boy:
Actually you said it was coming today, not "fairly soon". We'll see?!!!
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
I actually said, it's due today, not *will* come today, this was dependent on if there's been no hiccups or significant issues from the initial batch.

Unfortunately, I'm a general consumer, and although I have contact with Oppo, they don't have any obligation to answer anything, they have been pretty great at answering me and giving rough indications.

I would imagine that if it's not out today then it's going to be in the coming days.

I will get in touch and try and find out what the deal is if not.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Mackay53:
No need to check in with Oppo as we know it's coming so the others who are waiting just be patient. You've provided them with more than enough info so that should make them happy enough.

The update isn't going to change anyone's life. If timely updates were important then they shouldn't have bought an Oppo.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
I guess there's been some misunderstanding too, the major update is currently earmarked for rolling any moment.

I've seen mention of a small update in the works, bug fixes + tweaks kinda thing... Nothing significant, might bring march's security patch too, but that is completely speciation.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Chippy_boy:
Thanks for this, we're so glad the oracle and arbiter on such matters has given us this clarity. Most helpful.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Mackay53:
You're welcome
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] stuclark:
Above are a couple of updates from Oppo UK today
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] alvydasd2:
What's the point of having a Trail Version Button if it's never gonna be used and wouldn't be smarter to push the update using that feature for those that want to get the update early or try out beta Versions?
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] hlhmark:
Again saying someone shouldn't have bought an Oppo if they wanted timely updates is stupid.

If people want a particular brand and said brand promise "Monthly" updates then yeah they should be held accountable.

I enjoy ColourOS and the Hardware, especially the Camera's on my X3 Pro and that's why I went from X2 Pro to 3.

And what swayed that decision was them saying about the updates then being monthly which I thought great their getting their act together.

As the post not far up said A.26 seems to be the last ColourOS11 update with Nov patch but we aren't being told that and it's now further out date.

But rather than using their social media platforms to inform their customer base everyone is having to go and pester their Twitter 😅.

Say it's impatient, that people shouldn't have gotten the device, that they should stop moaning or not have an opinion all you want but seems kinda stupid to effectively defend them with don't buy it if you don't want updates or issues

I guess the X3 Neo must have been miscommunicated as an X3 Pro as one of those 3000 Guinea piggies 😂😂
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Mackay53:
It will be getting used

It's not stupid as we're getting just what oppo said - 3 years of software updates. Read the small print about monthly updates.

This does not mean 3 years of monthly updates so there shouldn't be any complaints.

If you want regular updates my point still stands - don't get an Oppo.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
I'm in touch with OppoUK and and a ColorOS Dev team member.

They're both indicating to me that this update is imminent and will be rolling sooner rather than later, I'm not sure why the gates didn't open today but the logistics of this is more than the sum of OppoUK and a Dev team member.

But I see no indication that it has been suspended.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] stuclark:
Um... The "put them update of hold" statement indicated that the update is ... On hold!
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
I'm going to be frank.

I've spent many hours chasing facts and presenting what information I have been given to this forum.

In the most part it has been accurate, but I'm not part of the wheel, so forgive me for being a day, maybe a few off... The logistics of this is more than the sum of the people I've been talking to.

I'm not going to keep repeating myself over and over again.

The updates produced. It's in testing, there's no indication on the closed group it's delayed, there's no information to suggest there's been any significant issues that could suggest a delay is required.

This will be my last update here regarding this matter.

Peace out and thanks for all the fish!
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Mackay53:
Did you read the rest of what they said in the screenshot you shared?

It was on hold, then update went out to 3000 people for a few days. A few days is pretty much up so the update will continue. Update is imminent.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
They do have windows where users can register interest in beta testing. You apparently just missed it.

Jfyi, you can register your interest by using the aforementioned button when the recruitment windows are open.

Next time I see it's open, I'll make a point of advertising that here.

Have a great day.

[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Chippy_boy:
More gems. Is there an ignore function on this forum I wonder?

EDIT: I see there is. Goodbye and thanks for all the trolls.

Im not happy with security updates policy by Oppo.

We are almost in March, still someone has to receive January security patch c41.

I've decided that if they don't release March update in March, I'll sell this device and go on s22U
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] dzontra83:
So far C.41 feel much more polished than C.37 which felt almost as a beta... Haptics are waaaaay better
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] mcmbrooks:
Mine just came through on EE... Now will people stop moaning? 😂
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Mackay53:
Impossible lol they'll be demanding android 13 and daily security updates next so they can continue to visit their dodgy websites.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] mcmbrooks:
Android 13? Surly everyone will want 14 because they're that inpatient 😂
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
👍 I may return with future update news going forward for those who would welcome it, but meh... If I do, I'm not correcting heresay or stupid, I'm not going to dignify petulant rants with a response.

My source is not just a customer service rep or a Twitter bot, it's from the team developing these updates.

I forgot how tedious it was to be part of the tech community.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] syneoa:
@step0011 can you communicate to the team some issues with Desktop mode please? I know it is still experimental and you have to enable it in Developers options but still, it is a nice feature.

While connected to second monitor over usb-c - hdmi adapter, I can get signal and desktop on monitor but input field is garbled, not seeing what I type so I kinda have to wild guess which icon I choose and hit enter to run an app.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
I wasn't aware of this feature 😂.

Sure I'll ask, might take a while for anything concrete to get back to me, that would probably be something that would need quite a bit of escalation.

I'll pm you if anything noteworthy comes my way.

It always amuses me when people say the equivalent of "my source is better than yours; nah nah nah".

Why is it so impossible for people to accept that maybe more than one person has the ability to ask direct questions? Why is it that the second someone posts an update with proven provenance, they get rubbished as listening to a "bot"?

Getting android 12 tonight in uk
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] iKlutz:
Everyone went suuuuuper quiet on this thread since the update lol.

So no ones coming to say how underwhelming it is? No one?

Here I'll say it.

- The UI looks slightly different.

- Difference in battery life is negligible at best.

- The performance is the same.

- AOD works.

- DND schedules still don't turn off when they're supposed to.

- auto brightness is slightly too low.

- New colour options for personalisation feel like a cheap parlour trick compared to what other official roms have had for years. It's like when you move the furniture around at home and somehow the room feels different even though it's the same stuff.

- still no official way to remove that awful and shameful Google assistant page from the home screen.

- changes to the location of various important settings like navigation gestures and such seem counter intuitive... behind system settings now? Most people won't look there, ever.

- "disabled apps", under developer settings is still non functional. Apps listed here are noted with "active/inactive, tap to toggle" , but doing so does nothing.

- Home screen still has a large amount of missing features including resizing the most used widgets like the damn clock for example.

Idk what we was all gunning for tk be honest.

I thought, well I hoped, that ColorOS 12 might bring about some of the functionality that I miss from my 2 year old OnePlus 7T Pro.

It just feels like they updated the absolute minimal amount of stuff and threw in a couple features they barely put any thought into.

And all I really want is call recording.

Anyone else?
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Mackay53:
The update was never going to bring battery and performance updates that you'll notice.

I had issues with AOD but sorted it by not restoring my Google account.

Auto brightness feels the same as A11 which was fine for me.

Cleaning up the settings is better this way. Moving navigation to system settings makes sense to me. Once that's sorted there's never a need for me to change it back to buttons etc.

Colour options are better than what I had on pixel 6P and the Mix 4 so welcome addition for me.

Don't swipe left on homescreen and you'll not need to remove the Google page lol

Only thing I don't like is how the settings look with the circles.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] iKlutz:

It's the end of Feb and no update each month at the same time usually
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
Last I spoke to ColorOS Dev team, there was an update in the works, no clarification on the schedule for this update rolling.

They had significant issues with Android 12, as did most OEM's, it's had a knock on effect.

I wouldn't lose any sleep. Your phone will work fine, it's not going to explode if you don't have your update immediately right now :)
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] V1TRU:
@steep problem is that there are many bugs to be fixed, and c41 has almost two months now.

My main problem for example is with notifications, when smartphone is locked and you expand the notification to read, it is half readible.

Also sometimes the phone ring, you got a new notification, but you can't see it in lockscreen. You unlock phone and pull down notification screen and there you find what made smartphone ring.

Unacceptable
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
Are you experiencing problems?

I'm not going into every aspect of it... But long and short of it, politics, regional law vetting, data protection, testing, fixing, testing, network operator testing, public testing, batch rollouts + covid.

Bugs will be fixed.

If you're not happy with the service you're receiving, try another manufacturer.

I'm sure you'll be finding issues that you're going to be bashing that keyboard furiously to voice you're dissatisfaction with that device as well.
