Android Pie

Has anyone in the U. S. received the 9.0 update on an unlocked HTC U11? I keep seeing articles that it is rolling out to North America, but nothing on mine yet.

They have been saying that for months. I think they are hoping everyone gets something else. i bet we never get it.

It's here! Just downloaded and installed.

is it stable? how's it working. Is it worth it?

Seems stable to me so far. Battery drain is about the same as what I got on Oreo. Nothing's really crashed yet, although the ePub reader I use (Bookari) now sometimes resets itself to the beginning of a book. Not sure if that's related to Pie, or something that just cropped up. And one really old app showed an app compatibility warning when I started it, but I kind of expected that. Otherwise, it seems fine so far.

Anyone know when it's hitting the locked phones for the U.S.?

 

[WarnerYoung]

A little bit more. So far for me, the Pie update has about the same battery life as Oreo, and it seems a bit more stable, too. On Oreo, I typicall had to restart the phone every 14 to 16 days because it would slow down, and WiFi or Bluetooth wouldn't connect. Right now on Pie, I'm at the 18 day mark and it still seems okay.

I, too, updated my Sprint U11 to Pie today. So far, no problems. About time. Might be able to hold off another year until 5G arrives or Sprint merges or goes bankrupt.

I updated yesterday and everything works smoothly this far. However, I can't find it anywhere in the setting to turn on mobile hotspot. Anyone else is experiencing the same issue?I have a Sprint version of U11.

Yep. Mobile Hotspot is now missing from the Wireless and Networks Menu. Used to be under More dropdown menu. System App called Wi-Fi Hotspot is installed, curiously. No way to turn it on.

First, input ##brand# with phone dialer to reset Sprint branding provisions and reboot your phone. If that doesn't restore the setting option, you need to input ##72786# to start hands free activation mode. After that finished, reboot your phone. I was able to get the setting option restored by following these 2 steps. Let me know how it goes.

I required both of those steps, but the hotspot is restored Many thanks!!
