I bought my Nexus 6 directly from Google Play Store. I currently have an AT&T Sim card in it. I have not been prompted for the 5.1 OTA update. Does anyone have any ideas why? I check it daily to see that it is phoning home and asking for updates and still nothing. I am a bit frustrated considering I bought it from Google directly so I could get the updates sooner than the carriers and of course without the carriers bloatware. I don't want to download a OTA version from the sites only to find out it was meant for a carrier's version of the phone.
Thank you for your help.

Google rolls out updates to Nexus devices, not the carriers. Likewise, they also roll out the updates in stages, starting with a small amount of users and working their way up. You can probably expect to see the OTA in the next week or so.

OTA' s can take weeks before everyone is served. Just flash a image in fastboot and you're done. All posted images can be flashed regardless the carrier.

Thank you for the response. I believe they started rolling out to Google purchased Nexus 6 devices around 2 weeks ago. I normally get an update 3-5 days at the most after it first starts to roll out on my Nexus devices. Just anxious I guess and afraid for some reason it is not trigger on mine or at least maybe someone knows how to get it to trigger early.
I guess I am a bit miffed about Tmobile users getting the update before I have

Sounds like the AT&T roll-out began in the last day or two.
You'll get it. Patience. If not then there are many options of getting it on your phone ASAP. If you want to go that route
Without root, does this update have to come through the carrier? Once I lose my current Note 7, I'm going back to the 5, but want to wait until I'm assured of the update, and would actually like to see it first, before jumping ship. Does anyone know, or have any suggestions?
Yes comes through the carrier. I have a note 5 and had a note 7 both att variants and neither would update without att sim. Same goes for Verizon variant. I'm sure there will be a Odin package to flash eventually or all you have to do is put in someone elses Verizon sim and go to check for updates and it will come through. That's what I did. With that being said nougat won't be coming for probably 5-6 months on this device

Hello everyone,
I really want a P20 Pro. I'm in the U.S. and would be using the factory unlocked Canadian ( CLT-L04 ) version of the phone via AT&T. It's soo much trouble getting this phone in the States. One of the things I'm most concerned about is getting the Android Pie update. It's supposed to start rolling out on the 10th, and I cannot find a concrete answer if I will be able to get it on my device. Contacted Huawei via facebook and asked and this was their response...
" Regarding your concern about updates; please bear in mind that, all of our updates are rolled out in batches according to the IMEI number and geographical region. If you own an unlock device, it will take a little more time to get updates. When the update are released, the carriers are in charge to send the update OTA."
When the update are released, the carriers are in charge to send the update OTA - That part has me concerned. Since I'll be on AT&T and it's not an officially supported device by AT&T, it sounds to me that I won't be able to get the update.
Anybody else in the U.S. that could help provide some insight on this?
Thanks in advance,
Rob
worst case is that you have to update it manually but that is pretty easy but i have no doubt that they will update every p20 pro to pie BUt it also depends on the carrier so getting a unlocked/unbranded device is a big plus for updates.

Thanks so much for the info! So the listing says this... "Only International items are Factory Unlocked without carrier logo and/or region lock." Without carrier logo I'm assuming means unbranded ( excuse my ignorance, I've never purchased a phone I couldn't just pick up in the store ) . So I should be able to get the Pie update without issue?

Yea seems like it and you can always flash some unbranded firmware tho if needed
Thanks! Sure hope you're right. Just purchased the last one the seller had.
Units sold by carriers in Canada are unlocked and unbranded. Mine is from Koodo/Telus and it's unlocked straight out of the box (it's the law in Canada) and doesn't have any carrier branding or carrier apps.
I think that as long as you are connected to the internet (mobile data or WiFi), you will get the update when a carrier releases it.

That's the concern I have though. I'm not on a carrier ( At&t ) that carries this phone.
Now that I've ordered the phone, I'm having a hard time finding screen protectors and cases for it. Ones I like that is.
I have the same concern. I bought my P20 Pro by an importer, since here in Brazil it is not officially sold. I know the model is from Latin America because it is a CLT-L29 C605. But since I bought it, it just made an update and I'm still with the July update (8.1.0.152) since then.
So I'm in doubt if I'm actually getting the Pie right now on the 10th.
It's unlocked.
I'm loving the device, but it's sad to know that I have a smartphone released this year, last generation and I don't have updates support for it.

Ignorance again as I've never ventured into this territory. Would you mind explaining how, if I don't get the update, to update it manually?

Its not that hard so just read this article https://www.androidpit.com/firmware-updates-huawei-honor and i think there is a guide posted in the p20 pro section on this forum also

I'm almost 100% sure that once Canadian carriers push the update you'll get it to. Has nothing to do with the carrier your on, updates are IMEI and model related. So if it's say a Telus/Koodo phone, you'll get the update when they push it.
That's been my experience anyways.
Ps. I'm using the same phone on Koodo now.
You should be on firmware .120 correct?

Check it when you get it.
But you'll be fine for updates.
So receiving the updates to the phone varies by the carrier? The carrier is the one that has to push the updates, like T-Mobile...?

Carriers push the updates yes. But say I buy a phone outright from Rogers and I use it on Telus...Rogers will push the updates to the phone, not the carrier I use it on. And I think it happens because the IMEI would originally be in the Rogers database.
This has happened to me several times now.

My phone isnt branded, so I dont know what carrier it is... because I bought it off a tech-store.
And for network, I am from Macedonia and I use VIP-MK sim card, which, as you said VIP wouldnt push the updates because the phone isnt from there, I don't know from where they're getting the phones to their warehouses, haha.
I just got a new update tho, b159, hopefully I will get the newest update after I install this one. ^^

Possible that if it's unbranded and belongs to no carrier that you'd receive the updates from Huawei servers?

I dont think so.
Because there are a lot of updates for my phone to firmware finder, which I think they're from Huawei's servers, right?
And since I boight my phone like a month ago, this is my first update. I was kinda stuck at 152 with July's security patches, and a while ago I received 159 with October's security patches. All I want to say by this is that if I'd receive the updates from Huawei, I'd have now the newest security patches, which is 161 version I think.
Who knows...that's just my opinion.
Anyone know when the US unlocked note9 will get the pie update?
i am also waiting for it , dnt know what samsung is doing !
According to this post on reddit it could happen in the next couple days. I am not holding my breath.

According to someone on the Samsung+ app. He said it's rolling out now. And I should have it before the end of the month.... Well see about that.
When pigs fly
Many users on carrier models are reporting bugs. Hopefully they're working them out for us US Unlocked users
Yeah honestly with all the issues being reported, I'm in no rush to receive the update. My Note 9 works flawlessly right now.
Swine flu
I have it on the unlocked flashed with T-Mobile firmware as I don't plan on switching carriers anytime soon. The unlocked gets it last as it has to wait for all the other carriers to update in case there is an update with the radios or something else but the beauty of unlocked is you can Odin any firmware you want at anytime as I did and go back if you want. The pie update is great so far with no bugs I can report. I've been running it since Saturday. I really like the new look and the battery is even better. Best bet is to factory reset after the update for a great experience as it's a new system. As for bloat ware, only 2 apps that can't be uninstalled and I use them (well one, the T-Mobile app, you don't need unlock app but it doesn't run in the background).
Pie for unlocked is here
I woke up, checked and Pie is available to download, unlocked here. Let's have fun!

i can confirm that pigs have been cleared for takeoff
And there we have it. Verizon being the slowest to release Pie. It seems like the unlocked version got this update the moment Verizon cleared it.
Been seeing stories that the October security update was pushed by Samsung for the S20 FE. I've got the USA unlocked model and haven't seen any updates yet. Have they pushed it in the USA yet? Have any of the big carriers pushed it yet?
I haven't got it either. I think sometimes it has something to do with your sim card, even on the unlocked model. I use Visible, so I'm probably not getting it for a while lol.

I don't think that's the issue. The only country the update is being pushed out to at the moment is Germany from what I read on another web site. Hopefully we will be getting it stateside soon. If you have an unlocked like myself then your carrier does not have anything to do with firmware updates.
get the FW manually and force it on the phone with Odin
October update finally arrived this morning for US unlocked. No notification. Just tried a manual update check and there it was.

cant find the U1 firmware yet, but here is the G781B fw https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s20-fe/firmware/#SM-G781B
very likely need patched Odin to flash it. Buyer beware tho, if the U1 FW isnt out yet and you successfully flash any of these, you cant go back until the FW is released
I received ATJ5 update earlier when I manually checked for updates. Seems stable. Touchscreen issues seem much much better so far.

Been using my unlocked S20 FE (G781U1) for about a week now, that I got directly from Samsung, and still no updates. Stuck on the September security update.
Coming from an unlocked Pixel 3 that I used for 2 years, this is really weird! I always thought unlocked versions were the first to get the updates.

So, I've noticed that for some reason Samsung unlocked devices seem to get their updates pushed immediately AFTER the big 3 carriers have pushed their updates for some reason.
I'm using the Unlocked version on ATT, and I received the October security update on the 24th. Touch issues do seem improved, no complaints so far.
I've been following this on Reddit and Facebook. Nobody I know or have seen post that has an Unlocked model on T-Mobile is getting the update. If you swap the SIM out for a non-T-Mobile SIM, it will allow it to update. I actually tried an AT&T SIM today, saw it allowed an update, swapped my T-Mobile SIM back in, then it said no updates available (on September patch).
This makes no sense why T-Mobile is not sending the updates to UNLOCKED phones. I have submitted tickets to both Samsung and T-Mobile regarding this delay. No major response except for: "we're working on it". Unacceptable.

That's both crazy and annoying, but having been with T-Mobile for a few years I can't say I'm surprised. They've been last to the party more often than not when it comes to updates. Do you know if T-Mobile has pushed the October update to the T-Mobile (non-unlocked) variant of this device?? I bet they haven't yet.
I just successfully forced the update, see my new thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s20-fe/help/successfully-forced-october-update-t4183325
