No word of 8.0 yet?

Nothing at all. It's suppose to be released by year end..

I don't think we'll see the Oreo update until the new year 2 at this stage.

It has for some of us
In all fairness though I don't notice much different cosmetically apart from things like those gammy white borders around apps. Battery seems to be a little better but maybe I'm just using the phone less at work haha.

I probably should look in to rooting and running a rom on this really as I rarely use it.

Bad timing, the main dev of Venom ROMs just quit. He did release an Oreo ROM beforehand, though.

The Oreo update for the unlocked U11 is being stalled in order to promote the U11+. Coincidentally where the U11+ is marketed, Oreo hadn't been released for the U11.

AngryLips

But where is the U11+ even marketed because I’d love to get my hands on one

You have to buy a SIM free from the HTC website

Eurgh, not exactly an effective way to reach customers

Finally received the U11+ yesterday that I ordered from HTC in November. All I can say is they really need to work on their customer service.......

That not withstanding, the phone is hella smooth. Last phone was a HTC 10 that had started to slow down/freeze lately, and this is just another world. First time in a while that im not conscious of battery life during day

Still have to get used to force sense as was set by default to flashlight so everytime i picked the phone up the flashlight went on :rolleyes:

Only issue I have with it so far, is that it is slippery as hell. Will need to get a wrap or cover for it ASAP or i have feeling there will be an expesnive drop in my future.

Congratulations on your new phone. I'd really like an 11+ but couldn't justify spending an additional 350 after selling my U11. I'll hang on until March or and see what's available then.
Looking forward to the Oreo update for the new edge sense functionality.

AngryLips

still holding out hope that one of the networks will launch the u11+ in the new year

People on Twitter are starting to get annoyed at HTC due to the oreo update not being released by then end of 2017 as promised. So far HTC haven't responded to anyone's comments. Interesting to see if they release it sooner rather than later..

Am I correct in assuming that, once it gets pushed to "Europe", it still needs to go through Three / Vodafone for *their* verification etc. before it lands on non-unlocked phones?

Yeah, but this process is much much faster than in the past. All 3 really do is add a splash screen and maybe their APN settings.

Thanks for clarification! I should have unlocked when I first got the handset, but now I'm all set up and don't want to go through the hassle or re-doing everything

I'm with Vodafone and when last update had been released I received it at the same time as the sim free U11.
Don't have the Vodafone start up screen on mine even though it was locked to choosing

Network unlocking wouldn't change anything update wise anyway, it would still come from the carrier.

Very true. I meant unlocking the bootloader and enjoying the RUU, but I should havee clarified

401 is EU unlocked, so you only need carriers to tweak it....or you can s-off, flash 401 RUU, update.

Just downloading the oreo update now

Nothing here so far. Eir customer.

I'm a Vodafone customer. I received the last update at the same time as the sim free U11. Same this time round:-)

Nice Are you unlocked or with a specific carrier?

dinevalesco

Just to clarify - my device is unlocked (bought thru HTC Club) but eir are my service provider.

killbillvol2

I have it now too. Bought direct from HTC.

sentient_6

I lost patience last night and installed it manually.

Anyone else notice the settings menu layout is the same as nougat and not the redesigned oreo? Very odd because the u11+ has the proper oreo set up.

Makes it feels slightly half finished.

Just updated there on Vodafone Ireland handset. Cant see too many changes, app shape and swipe for app drawer. Anything I am missing?

Received Oreo today. Was purchased on Vodafone, so single sim 2.33.161.11.

The unlocked US U11 has received any update today 700mb including December security update.

Hopefully we'll receive the January update with the important fixed in the very near future!

I don't doubt you. But as of right now, for single sim devices bought direct from htc, the update hasn't been released.

This is why, after Android 6, I feel like harking after the latest update is kind of pointless.
