While I was in the dialer my eye caught the menu button. It was there. The screenshot is from the main settings under Mobile Networks (or something).
Thank you for the suggestion that got me looking in the dialer.
 
Please can someone advise me on how to upgrade to MM. I have P8 lite ALE-L02C190B130 dual SIM from Telkom.
 
I really like the P8 lite that I bought on Telkom deal of the month. On Android 5.0 and very happy with battery life. I have to push the phone in order to get the percentage to 30% or lower to charge it at night.

The only thing I miss from Marshmallow (on my Galaxy S2), thus far, is permissions control. And Emui 4.0 looks like reason to upgrade. I will wait for the official SA release of MM.

The permissions control thing happens as apps request the permissions?
I got MM preinstalled on a motherboard that Huawei sourced for me... (P8 though, not P8 lite)

Yes, that apps request on first run and that we can manually change in App settings. Very handy for apps like Facebook that are permission mad.
 
Hi All,

Has anyone tried updating a Vodacom P8 Lite from B130 to marshmallow. The current version is ALE-L21C02B130 which means the build is C02. I can only find updates for build C432 (Europe). Has anyone used these or have links to C02 downloads?
 
I have the ALE-L02C190B130 from Telkom Mobile and have tried to install the C432 Europe update and the C185 Middle East, Northern Africa and others, both failed at 4% during verification. I believe we need to get the C190 version meant for South Africa.
 
I wonder if anyone in SA has received an official MM upgrade for a P8 or P8 Lite - and if so, which SP?
 
I have three p8 lites on vodacom 1 recievd ota update to mm.the other 2 are still on android 5 so I have no idea what they doing.

what is you ALE model number on the phone that got the MM update and it is different to the other ones that didn't get the update?
 
The phone that got the update is ALE-L21 I dont have the other 2 with me to have 100% certainty but I think they are the same.

I got this from Vodacom "The Android M update is now live for all VC customers and this is the live version ALE-L21C02B589.". I am waiting for feedback from as to why mine did not upgrade.
