NEW Google play store update - Nexus 7 General

I'm not sure but I might be getting it twisted. but here's the thing, there's a new update my friends wildfire has the new play store and he has it on his 16gb nexus 7 whereas I have the 32gb nexus 7 but still haven't received the update like many of android users have. Its bugging me because I'm pretty sure nexus devices are supposed to be up to date with updates, which I am not. I don't want to install it manually I would prefer to receive it over air , I would just like to know if any other users are experiencing this and is there anyway of recieving this update without manually downloading the new play store?

App updates are handled differently. They roll out to all users independent of manufacturer. Nexus users ARE 1st for OS updates.

Just Dow load the new Apk and then install it and you will have the new one.

It's not exactly anything to get excited about.
I got it about 2 weeks ago I guess, probably 2-3 weeks after other folks were getting it via OTA. Google rolls out updates very cautiously.

"New Nexus 7" OTA Info

Hey everyone,
It looks like we have a new Nexus 7 on the way in the next week or so! As is the case with every new Nexus device, I will need some info so I can begin mirroring OTA and factory images on randomphantasmagoria.com.
We have reason to believe there will be WiFi-only and LTE variants, so if anyone buys one of these, I will need the following information from your device as soon as you turn it on, before applying any system updates that might be available out of the box:
1. The bootloader version (boot into bootloader mode and it will be available on screen).
2. The baseband version (from Settings - About Tablet, only applies to LTE variant, WiFi variants wont have this).
3. The value of ro.build.fingerprint in /system/build.prop.
4. The URL to any OTA update available out of the box. If you don't know how to get this URL, PM me and I'll be happy to assist. Just know that the URL must be pulled before the OTA is applied so don't apply it without talking to me first!
5. After applying any OTA that might be available out of the box, I will need all of the above info post-OTA as well.
I will need this info for both the WiFi-only and LTE variants. None of this info requires you to be rooted, so anyone, newbie or hardened veteran, can help me out. You guys have been awesome in the past so I know some of you will be rockstars this time around as well.
Thank you!

I just called my local Office Max and gave them the SKU number just for the hell of it - the rep said "they are at the warehouse and not in store." So, they are here...I'm sure they or Staples will let it sell early like they did last year.
Did I miss something? Has there been further updates/leaks that suggest the new nexus 7 will be out on the 24th?
Last I hears was there was a private event for July 24th and the pricing leaks, but nothing else.
Geez I was just checking an hour ago.

Android 4.3 update, who's still waiting?

I know we have a lot of threads discussing 4.3 already, but those seem to be for people who have successfully downloaded it and worked with it. I'm curious to see how many others are still waiting on the update. I live in Canada and so far I've seen no sign of it, my device tells me I'm still up to date with 4.2.2. I don't have 3G but I regularly connect to WiFi.
It's not a very big deal... the update doesn't seem to have much that I need, except maybe a slightly faster speed when doing things. But yeah, I'm curious. Share your locations if you're still waiting.
EDIT: I really wish there was a way to edit the titles for threads...
EDIT 2: Thank you for that.

Im in russia with a UK model still waiting. Im too busy at the moment to actually flash it so im going to be patient and wait for OTA.
It seems we are always last on the list here to get OTA or any updates.
Could any Russian users post and let me know if they have the update
Kind regards

Canada here,
Still waiting on my N4 and N7.
N4 is on and off 3G doesn't seem to make a difference.
Last time around, the N7 got it within the week and N4 had to wait 2+ weeks until it arrived.
Austria; 212K N4 (stock everything) still nothing ...
I am on a custom rom and I am too lazy to go back to stock. Would wait for a week untill PA or CM have cooked their 4.3 builds.
UK, London - Tried the framework thing - Nothing....
Phone bought in UK, using Norwegian sim-card. Now travelling in Europe. Have checked (WIFI) in Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. Still nothing.
Croatia still didnt get it hopefully soon
No updates in Bangladesh either...

got tired of waiting after the OTA zip was published. downloaded the thing and sideloaded it. easy as pie and stopped me from checking the damn system update like an addict
check the excellent OTA thread, it should be easy enough for moderately literate geeks to flash it in a breeze

I am waiting, but not for the OTA that arrived on my phone a couple of days ago. I am waiting for all the bugs to get squashed and for the apps to get updated to accommodate 4.3.

In the UK just received the update
Austria. Got it offered today via OTA. Default System w unlocked bootloader. Installed wo problems.

Updates?

So I just got this phone yesterday and I love it so far... My only question or concern is will it still get the updates as quick as the nexus... I noticed it was still on 4.2.2 and my Nexus tablet is on 4.3... That was my main selling point to buy the phone...

Not as quick as a Nexus. No phones or tablets get updates as quick as the Nexus line.
If that was the main selling point for you, I suggest you return it and wait for the Nexus 5.

Many people believe, since Google owns Motorola, that Motorola phone will get updates faster... Google has already stated that this is not true, they get no preferential treatment in regards to updates.
That being said, due to the limited bastardization of android on the moto x, it is fair to believe that this device has the potential to get updates quicker, whether that will play out as such, will be better known in the future.
But, the quick answer to your question is"no" this will not get updates as fast as a nexus device... Its not a nexus device. But it is understandable to believe that we will get updates more quickly than most other manufacturers devices on the market.

I will be happy if we hey an update in a reasonable amount of time... I guess that's a matter of opinion on what's a reasonable amount of time... I just traded in my HTC One XL for this phone so as long as I would get the updates faster than I did on that phone I will be happy... Also I was hoping to get support for this device for a longer period of time and keep receiving the updates... I just figured since it does not have a heavy ui like sense or touch wiz I would get updates quicker and supported longer... But I'm happy with the phone so I think I'm just going to keep it...

This is the first phone I've had that I don't want to root... I actually want the ability to get the ota updates, seems like Motorola is actively listening to consumers and pushing updates... I don't want to miss out on what they have coming. Plus, this phone is simply amazing, just the way it is.

OTA 6.0

My phone is completely stock and still has not updated to marshmallow. Is there a reason? It received an update a couple days ago, but nothing really changed that I could see, still on 5.1.1. I know I could sideload OTA but I'm just wondering why it has come?
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
Because it has not yet been pushed to your phone?
That's my absolute best guess.
Thanks. Doesn't matter I guess anyways, I preordered the 6p anyways. I'll be selling this soon

No 6.0 on T-Mobile?

So I ordered my new Nexus 6 from Ebay brand new $300 shipped Then I find out that 6.0 is not even out yet for the Nexus 6 on T-Mobile, what the heck is that about? 6.0 came out like a month ago and all other Nexus devices are on it. What is going on with the T-Mobile version?

6.0 has been available for all carriers for a month or better. It's one unified build MRA58K 6.0.

sure, its out. you can get it right here and install it manually https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
tmobile might not have approved the update yet, just like verizon, att, and sprint. but it is out officially, and you can install it yourself easily.

No, nuh-uh, nope. All of the Android 5 updates had a T-Mo fork. It's becoming apparent that T-Mo is forking 6.0 for VoLTE and their own apps. I flashed the factory image of M from Google. It worked fine for about a month but I notice a few random reboots. It was annoying but not terrible. Then yesterday, my N6 started rebooting about every 5 minutes. I ran it in Safe Mode to see if an app was causing it but I was still getting the reboots. I thought that I might have a corrupt factory image. So I flashed an new download to the phone. Still no such luck. I finally downgraded to 5.1.1 and took all the OTA security patches. I'm already on the November patch but at least my phone is stable again. I think there may be some validity to the T-Mo N6 being a bit of a red-headed step child (aka VZW Galaxy Nexus).
Read through the various forums and T-Mo's own support site and you'll see that these reports are becoming more frequent where T-Mo N6 users flashing Marshmallow are ending up with a very less than stellar OS.

Wait is the OP talking about a T-mo branded N6?
I'm on T-Mobile, the reason I would like the update is to have the APN setting. I have to play with mine after every flash to get MMS working. I think I've figured it out, but it is a pain. Pure nexus 6.0 is working awesome now

No, they are random. I think they are supposed to go out over the course of a week or two.
I would imagine someone will grab the OTA URL soon if they haven't already so you can sideload it if you are impatient. Also possible that they will get the factory image up if you have an unlocked bootloader. T-Mobile's factory image was a little slow to be available in the past.

It looks like there's some crap at the end of the link. I think the forum is adding that because I edited my post and there's nothing else there at the end. Just copy and paste the link and remove the junk at the end
