however, via the OTA update there is no offering beeing done up to now like in the past when a new android came out also on the google developers page is no listing of the android 7 to be found.
Am I overlooking something here ? or is the Wikipedia info incorrect ? Or has the update been cancelled perhaps for the Nexus 6 ?
Please Enlighten me!

Don't you mean Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 LTE? I received the update on my Nexus 6P on 8/22.
The speculation about base-band or Qualcom drivers is just that, speculation. Google only knows the real reason and we will likely never officially know why. When it comes, it comes.

No, he's right. The 6P update was pulled, apparently due to a nasty wakelock.
Could be -- my 3+ days of battery life has been reduced to about 26 hours, but I didn't attribute it to 7.0. I was in the beta program for all of the previews and this did not happen until after the full release OTA was installed. I also experienced connectivity issues with Google+ today, which was odd.

Will Google ends support for 2 year old nexus 7..??
Can we see next major android version (4.5/5.0) for our grouper..??
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Official will probably stop when the last revision of KitKat is released. However no one really knows but Google. Worst case in a week after 4.5 or 5.0 is released (if those are to be believed) source will be pushed to AOSP and everyone here will be building ROMs.
I mean even my old Kindle Fire (otter) runs Pac-Man 4.4.2...
While my Nexus 5 and 7 (2012 grouper) are both running 4.4.3

Bit dubious about post-Google updates myself. NVidia has no track record of being friendly to supporting the development community when they aren't forced to. Once Google stops providing binary blob updates, you can bet NVidia will forget that this tablet ever existed and developers will have nothing to work with to support future hardware upgrades.
Either that, or I'm still just a bit bitter over the Tegra 2 G2X.

I hear you there
But I have hope
Our Nexus 7 will prevail through it all!
Maybe then we will have some brave soul working on Nvidia 3.4.35 kernel for tegra3
This can be a good starting point
this is the last update.....
Very likely the last update, though people don't have the same upgrade path for tablets that they do for phones, you won't necessarily change it as regularly.
It's not like your contract is up after 2 years and you get another one.
I'm not planning on getting another tablet any time soon, so longer support would be great, though I doubt it'll happen.

Nexus 7 never received a useful update anyway.
Every single update made the tablet slower and more buggy.
So it is a good thing not to have updates anymore. Nothing to worry about there.

:highfive: 4.3 was a very solid version. When I put my Nexus 4 back in daily driver service for a short while, 4.4 had been out for some time, but I went to 4.3 due to the reliability and smooth feel...

You're wrong.
You can still find Nexus 7 2012 for sale... not at Google Play, however.
IMHO - the last KitKat update will be the end of service life for Nexus 7 2012. N7 2013 will get through the L named release.
Looking very much like 4.4.3 will be the last 'official' update, based on the below news...
4.4.3 is running well on my N7, so can't complain too much, plus there are plenty of custom ROMs and mods to play with. Just wonder how this will affect future custom ROMs/ports as they will be created to run with ART and so possibly a no-go... :crying:

The gnex is only one year older than n4 but it didn't receive kitkat, so yes, just because it was released a year before.
Also, Nexus 7 2013 users still don't get 5.1
BTW, I prefer a tested bug free 5.1 update because it could be the last update Nexus 4 receive
I would be absolutely SHOCKED if we got even one more update after 5.1. I wasn't even expecting it to get that, but I think Google just wants the major bugs patched before they send it to EOL land so at least they're leaving it on a stable build.
I would be shocked if updates are stopped before it is impossible for technical reasons?!
HTC used to abandon one year old phones without technical reasons.
It cost money to keep updating so they will stop whenever they feel like it. The hardware is to a point now where it will support updates a lot longer than it used to.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes but HTC is not Google. And it does not cost anything if done right. My PC is from 2007 and still gets updates. And there are much more different PCs than Nexus devices. Its all about good SW design and hardware abstraction, isn't it?
Um, the Nexus 7, which is older got it already.
Android 5.1 launched on Android One devices, not on a Nexus (Indonesian One devices shipped with 5.1 almost a month before any Nexus got it.)
The Indian devices never got 5.0; so this is straight from KitKat.
Finally, the 4 will get it. Just be patient. Even the 9 and the newer 7 haven't gotten it, so comparing it against AO is a bit of cherry-picking.
Frankly, we're damn lucky we got 5.0 .
I was 100% certain that 4.4.4. was the EOL point for the Nexus 4.
I'll get a good laugh if my N4 gets the update before my new N9 though.
this is nexus !!
you can use the big world of android rom and ubuntu and firefox os .
Dont worry .
The story is not over yet .
Hope Google not abandon Nexus 4

I'm afraid they inevitably will, but I'm sure the devs will take good care of it. Plus, devs often optimise kernels and roms so they are better than what Google offers.

It's the birth of another sweet treat going to come to Android One in a matter of weeks. I'm sure all of you readers are excited.
Just a few heads up before you get too much enthused though...
1) Know that Google has been working to provide regular security updates over the past few months. This means there should not be a huge delay in the update schedule, unlike last year. Now Google has to serve its new customers in Indonesia, Philippines, Pakistan,Turkey,Nigeria,UK, Spain and Portugal instead of just India and Bangladesh, so its obvious that it will look after its babies.
2) Know that in order to get the Android 6 update,you have to have a free storage space of at least 10% of the system memory otherwise it won't download. Further, if you're rooted, install back the stock ROM and stock Bootloader otherwise the installation will result in an error.
Lastly, don't forget to share it when you have received the OTA.
The expected release is in mid October

I waiting for this update since first developer preview!
But I'm a little sceptical....
You are 100% sure that first generation will get official update to 6.0?
Or we have to wait for a custom rom based on marshmallow?
Im pretty sure that the 1st gen will get 6.0 update.
coz If I'm not mistaken google says that they will support the 1st gen android one devices for 2 years.

By 'UK', are you referring to the Karbonn Sparkle V that is available through Amazon UK and 7DayShop? BQ deliver their 2GB RAM M.5 to the UK but it is not an Android One device - the 1GB RAM A4.5, which is based on the M4.5 but with a five-year guarantee taking the place of the extra gigabyte of RAM - only delivers to Spain and Portugal.
Congratulations guys!!
Android One has started receiving marshmallow....

In an official help page, google announced the android version update deadline for the nexus lineup.
For nexus 5, it's October 2015.
Sadly, our beloved Nexus 5 won't survive Marshmallow. But it'll still continue to receive security update. :angel:

So guys, what will be future of Android N on Nexus 5 ?
No one knows anything yet... So you better wait..
The Nexus 5 probably won't get an official Android N release, but there's still a small chance.
We will see.
Oh and BTW the Nexus 5 will get awesome Custom ROMs based on Android N without any doubt.

Daniel Marchena have the same opinion. :fingers-crossed: :good:
To be specific, the first sentence states “After a certain period, Google can no longer guarantee that a device will get version updates or security patches.” (emphasis mine). Beneath this statement are words like “for at least” and “no guaranteed”, indicating not a hard a fast deadline, but instead a guideline that may or may not be followed.
