Anyone else received 5.1 in the UK? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just turned up as an OTA on mine & has been installed. Can't say I've noticed anything much difference in the phone so far.

Does your build number end in D or E?

I'm just curious as to which build Google is pushing via OTA. Thanks!

There seems to be some slight speed up of the phone but that might be my imagination. Be interested to see if the battery life has increased as promised under this update. Also if they've squashed the last of the restarts it was still getting, though less so since the last update.

@Super Chimp
Can I ask where did you buy yours from? Mine is bought from CPW and no OTA yet

64GB from CPW. Is yours a 32GB model perhaps?

@Super Chimp
Thank you for by your reply . Sadly mine is a 64 GB version bought from CPW as well (beginning of Jan ). So weird that Apple manages to update everyone on the same day but Google can't do that with one phone model

Google allways rolls out in waves to prevent issues to arise for all users, no telling when a OTA will hit what region/country/serial number/Imei.

I have a 64gb version nexus 6 build no LRX22C . I have the update available but it's been waiting to download for over an hour.

Mine said that for ages & then just to changed to requesting for me to download & install, no intermediary stage if you know what I mean.

I am on 5.0 can't even get any update to 5.0.1!! Anyone in the same conditions? I am expecting not to receive the 5.1 update straight away but 5.0.1 has been out for some time and still haven't got it (I bought the n6 two days ago)

I got the message last night, and went through the motions of downloading and installing.
However, my phone is rooted (though otherwise stock) and when it rebooted, it did so into recovery (TWRP). After rebooting, I'm still on 5.0.1 and the 410.4Mb download is nowhere to be seen on the phone. I've again got the "System update available" message today, but I don't want to go round the same loop again.
Anybody know how to get a rooted phone to 5.1?

At least if there would some info when to expect new update , it would be great.

I'm not sure why they wouldn't update both at the same time. Some websites have said that T-Mobile is not supporting the S7 any more, but it is still for sale on their site.

Looks like they have left over inventory. Its a shame that neither Dell nor T-Mobile wants to promote their products. I don't recall ever seeing an add for the Dell Streak 7. How can people buy them if they don't know anything about it. I have to say Samsung & Apple is doing a great job at advertising their product.

Actually I think they are refurbs. But the point is that if they are still selling it they should be supporting it with updates.
Hi everyone I just wanted to confirm that the HC 3.2 for DS7 is out in UK.
Not sure if it's UK only or whole UE.
I've got wi-fi only wersion. If you have one check your update today
Btw; It's awesome !
hi im in England and got the honeycomb update yesterday oct 3 works fine
Please be waiting for me when I get home.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Yeah mine was ready yesterday as well but I couldn't upgrade because of low battery. So i charged it up over night and did it this morning ;]
The upgrade was also available for my device yesterday evening.
Now I'm a happy honeycomb user
Pros: Everything is faster now. Does honeycomb use both CPU cores?
I can now install applications which were not compatible when my device was on android 2.2
Cons: I think the screen clarity is worst than before. The on screen fonts and icons/widgets were better in android 2.2, most probably cause there are smaller now
Does anyone know will the Over The Air update work on a rooted DS7, or do you have to unroot it in order to update. I am assuming that the rooted DS7 will see the update because it is just a website, right?
Is this only available in Europe? Or will I be crying tears of joy here when I get home.

You will most likely have to unroot. I wouldn't attempt it on a rooted device.

Root = updated su permissions + superuser.apk. Neither would affect it.
On a X.X.X to X.X.Y upgrade, you'll also have to be concerned about if you removed apk's or otherwise modified things.
In the case of Froyo to Honeycomb, I'm pretty sure it's going to nuke /system entirely and that won't matter at all.
Gents, can anyone give download link for wifi only version ? or at least give version and build numbers ?

I was thinking along the same path. Thanks for confirming it.
being rooted NEVER matters to the ota updates on dell devices, the only thing that matters is having the stock recovery installed.
If whoever got the wifi version could post any details about their old rom version or the newly recieved one I can prepare update notes
i just hacked the stock recovery so i could update to this http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GLUNB1A334000&servicetag=20QBPQ1 witch is the wifi version

no lollipop for me?

Hi, I just bought a moto x 2014 in Brazil (not locked to any carriers), and went to update, but it says no updates are available. I read everywhere that lollipop has been out for moto x 2nd gen for a while now. am I missing something? thanks

Not all variants of the Moto X 2014 have received Lollipop update. For instance, my XT1093 has not gotten it yet. XT1095 (pure edition) and maybe some others have gotten the update already.
You'll get it, just wait till it rolls out to you. You aren't missing out on much, believe me.

well actually android lollipop is the thing i need the most in a smartphone. multi-user is the reason I bought this phone right now, I have a band and I use instagram / twitter / facebook / all things that doesn't have multi-user support like google apps, so the only way I can manage everything is with android lollipop.
I had a galaxy s4 with cyanogen lollipop, but phone just fried so I went to the store and bought the best phone I could pay that had guaranteed lollipop upgrade, and when i got home bam, no upgrade. that's a bummer.

All I can say is you'll get it soon, so sit tight.
I was actually expecting a way to force upgrade since it's been out for a while, and I'm not very patient, not good with waiting for something that has not a defined time to get done you know? been waiting forever to get it on my s4, and it never came, had to do a manual install. My phones don't usually last longer than a year or two, so I can't afford to wait another six months for it unfortunately

It won't be six months. You're looking at a few weeks, max. You could look into side loading or flashing a ROM, though I'm not sure what is compatible with your model and what isn't.
I found an OTA download wich supposedly would force update my phone to download the official release, let's give it a shot

I think you're misinterpreting what you found. If it's the actual OTA zip, the file itself will update your phone to the official release... that's called sideloading. Nothing can force your phone to download the OTA if it's not already available. That's entirely up to Motorola or your carrier. And if it is available, you'd be able to get it by checking for it in settings. Post the link to what you found and I'll check it out.
I personally have no issues with it, never encountered the memory leak issue. I was a bit peeved at first they removed the silent mode but once I worked out how to use the priorities for alerts I was fine. Now I just wish they'd roll out lollipop for my Samsung Tab S.

Any chance we'll get 5.1.1 or 6?

What the subject says...
Slim to none!
We'll get 5.1.1 maybe for Christmas! :silly:

I just got off the phone with ATT and they told me T-mobile should be getting the 5.1.1 update soon, and when they do, ATT and verizon should be getting the update a few weeks later, no one said the phone companies are smart....

Is the 5.1.1 already installed on new devices?

Hi,
I was going to buy one and there is no Stock till day 19. Do you think or know if they are going to be on 5.1.1 already?
Thanks
edit
It appears people are now receiving a mix of 5.0.1 and some 5.1.1 peinstalled.
Dec 31 update, I just received another 5.0.1 Fire (shipped 12/30). Amazon is still shipping at least some 5.0.1 Fires. The date molded into the inside of the back cover is Dec 14 2015. But of course that is only when that one part was manufactured.
There have been no confirmed reports yet of a Fire shipping with 5.1.1 preinstalled.
You may see a couple posts from people who mistakenly thought they got 5.1.1 preinstalled, they did not realize that the Fire will update as soon as you agree to connect to a wifi network & that amazon will not ask at all before installing it. Also the Fire will sometimes show a message similar to "updating system" when it's just optimising apps. This message has been confusing some users. It's just amazon's version of "Android is starting... Optimizing app xx of xx" and it is not an OS update. As of yet, no one who has known to keep wifi off has seen 5.1.1.
Got mine about 3 days ago and it had 5.0.1. Ordered Nov 27
Got mine from Amazon Prime Now last night, 5.0.1.
I buy 13 tablets for my family and friends the tablets arrive friday 11 just five arrived with 5.0.1 the other ones 5.1.1
Got one today with 5.0.1
So, there is no way to install CM12 on 5.1.1?

I ordered 4. They just came in today. All four are one 5.0.1, but the first one, on start up asked to connect to wifi. Once I did it immediately updated to 5.1.1.
On the other 3, I did not connect to wifi and I skipped the setup. Still on 5.0.1
Got mine today .. Skipped Setup -> 5.0.1 installed
I bought mine from Best Buy after the Black Friday sale, it came with 5.0.1.

Just how fast is your internet for it to download 600mb that quick?
Just received another Fire today (ordered 11/28 for $35),
5.0.1
But it has two white stuck pixels. Actually one of them appears to be a group of 2, so maybe 3 stuck pixels.
I just received a replacement for my Fire with stuck pixels.
It's 5.0.1 and it was shipped on 12/30. Amazon is still shipping at least some 5.0.1 Fires. The date molded into the inside of the back cover is Dec 14 2015. But that is only when that one part was made.
Just received one today it is a 5.01
I just got one replaced that had 5.0.1. Check thread below if you want to install ROM from new shipped tablet.
Basically, when first powering up don't setup WiFi then check in settings if still 5.0. If so and you want to install ROM, see this thread...

Actually if you want to install a rom you don't even need to ever boot up into FireOS.
Just go straight into fastboot.
If you can load twrp: Congratulations you have 5.0.1! Pass "Go", Collect $200 & Install your rom!
If you can not load twrp: Sorry, Do not pass "Go", Do not collect $200, Go straight to Jail! You have 5.1.1. Make friends with your jail mate Mr. FlashFire. He is in beta & a little buggy but he's your only option at the moment.

Agree, this method takes you straight into loading ROM from TWRP.

Bootloop and update questions

Hello,
So I just order this phone without reading about the poor quality of updates and january and february bootloops. The phone will arrive with 8.1, is it safe to update ? Is it worth to keep or should I stay phoneless(an old nokia that I have might be working) ? I can't cancel the order because the money will be keept for about 30 days(banks this days..).. Even returning it is the same, so I will be stuck with it from monday as I need a new phone asap.
In short, should I install a custom rom, keep the stock 8.1 or risk it and update it? As far as I know it is the global version.
Thanks in advance !
cancel the order and get a nokia if you can if no then stay on 8.1 its better than pie in many ways

Thanks, I will wait till the 28th, if the march update isn't here and fixes it I will use an old nokia, to get my money back I will have to wait 30 days .. shouldn't have ordered without looking up on xda first, this is my own doing .

It was pulled do to 4G issues as far as I know, but I am a single sim user so I don't mind that bug as it affects dual sim only. Google should pull them out of Android one imo.
