Been hitting the "Check for updates" every 10 seconds. :) Anyone else get the update yet?
 
nothing here unlocked US.

anyone know how to push this update so it seems and downloads it?
 
My Mate is US version and update is finally available OTA. I'm finally satisfied with this phone. Did anyone encounter anything negative on their phone after the update? I am not sure If I should go ahead with it.
 
I'm in NY so maybe they're rolling it regionally. Security updates are my priority so I'm happy with those. For the camera app, there's now a separate icon if you want bokeh and beauty mode at the same time (portrait mode) and wide aperture mode is still there. 3D unlock pictures (there's 2 pics) are not so useful. You can now toggle down the navigation dock to make it disappear. Floating button can be used to substitute for navigation dock functions. Settings menu revamped too. I hope everyone gets their updates soon. Ciao!

They also added a universal search if you swipe down on the home screen. Make sure you check the 'tips' app on the phone after update. I'm sure there are other features that we may miss.
 
Finally received the update this morning (Seattle, WA). Everything seems to work fine. Haven't had the chance to look at all the new features yet. But I did notice a change to the animation when you press the home button to get out of an app. Not sure if I'm liking that. If there is a way to go back to the old animation, then I would change it.

(Update - It's not the Mate 9 animation. It looks like something happened to the Nova launcher animation. Going to stock launcher for now.)

Are the updates allocated randomly? Or is there some order to it, such as date of purchase?
 
received 8.0 yesterday for one of my Mate 9s. only issue I had was getting WiFi working. had to reenter my password.
 
i bought mine from Amazon, using it on Tmo, been checking non stop for updates, and nothing yet.
 
Received 8.0! As the result.. 404 error in Play Market while downloading. So catastrofical issue at the moment. Waiting for patch
 
I haven't had any problems with the update so far. In fact, it seems like the problem with audio apps like pandora intermittently stopping when the screen turns off has been solved-it hasn't happened to me since the update.

As far as update patterns go, sure seems like "drawing from a hat" as someone else said. I'm So Cal, best buy last March, on tmo.
