Anyone else received 5.1 in the UK?

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.

Will you sell your p9 plus now Oreo is no more?

Hi.
It's a shame Oreo has been cancelled for the p9 and it's derivatives. It's got me wondering if I should move my p9 plus on or keep it. A pixel xl is tempting.
What about you?

I never sell my phones. I will stick with my P9+ one more year then i will see what device i will buy.
EDIT:
It looks like we getting Oreo after all. Too many fake news going around, just sit still in the boat and wait.
Oreo is going to be pushed out 10am everyday from 9 - 15 July!

In china for AL10 (see ff) Oreo already pushed out
The problem is for European version that news said no Oreo for it

I've got a branded vodaphone handset so I won't be getting the O update anytime soon if ever.

is anyone received oreo update for P9 Plus?? is there a guarantee that a Asia Pacific version will receive that update???

What are your impressions of Oero? Is the update a dog like some people are saying?

I've been using oreo now for week or more and honestly its working fine, if not alittle more smoothly. no frame drops in the animations, fluid home page transitions, call recording works flawless.. notifications are grouped better than before, camera is still the same as it was before and i really only use the document scan. not an issue for me so far. the setting menu changed its layout which took me a few days to get used to but everything else is the same as android N. the update is welcome one for me as i am going to sell my phone on. :good:

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.

But it's just a security patch. It didn't come with any of the fixes and improvements the unlocked version just got a couple of days ago. That's gotta be frustrating.

I noticed that's all it said. It was like 103mb though. Just for a security patch? Why push it out and waste time just having that without the camera fixes.

Received mine as well. Coming from an unlocked Pixel 3 XL, this makes me happy until I notice that it's only the April security patch. I thought OnePlus devices we're almost as fast as Pixel devices when it comes to updates? Also, when are we going to receive the camera update?

Same issue. I've rebooted, I've turned ambient display on and off, and still can't get it working. Double tap to wake isn't working either. Both were working perfect before the update. Thinking I might need to factory reset which I really don't want to do. Any other options I have?

It's because you bought the phone from T Mobile. If you bought the unlocked version from OnePlus you'd already have the camera updates. Might take a couple weeks before Tmobile get it and pushes it out.

tmo for the 6t has been out of date by a few months since the device came out. best option is to convert the device, which can be done.

You are correct. This is my first OnePlus so I was hesitant to purchase it outright through OnePlus.

So you are saying that the TMobile OnePlus 6t is out of date when compared to the unlock one?

I appreciate the response. I am debating on returning this device and continuing using my Pixel 3 XL. I know what I'm losing by going back to the Pixel but it's the little things that I miss from it. On top of that, now I am having ambient display and gesture issues with my device after the update. AND I do not have the camera update because T-Mobile.

You might as well hold off for a sec. Now that the MSM tool has been recovered, it's only a matter of time before a patched one is created for T-Mobile. Once that's done, you can convert your T-Mobile one to the International one and get the updates.

Are we getting anymore updates at all? (SM-N960U)

T-mobile USA user here...
I'm not asking for general software updates, here. I know after Android 10 AND UI 2.5, we're pretty much done in terms of getting updates in that respect.
Will we be receiving any security updates still or is that it? If not, then I might just end up jumping ship and purchasing the S22 Ultra.

Note9 is still a decent phone, but if you're into latest software jump ship and get a better phone. S22 Ultra is pretty solid depending on what you want it for. Just wait for the whole launch.

@JOSHSKORN
What is the latest update you have received?
I received the update from November 2021 this morning on an unlocked N9.

Baseband version: N960USQS9FUG2
Security Patch Level: August 1, 2021
Just ran a check for updates, and I'm apparently up-to-date.
Regarding locked/unlocked...I'm guessing I'm "locked", as in I know there are two different meanings to it. I bought mine at the T-mobile Store, not form Samsung directly. My bootloader is NOT unlocked and I am NOT rooted.

I guess your phone is carrier locked? I was lucky, and won my N9 from a contest held by Samsung Mobile on Twitter.
Maybe T-Mobile has not released the December update yet? I hope you receive it soon.

"Quarterly" updates for security and not Monthly? Ouch. So what you're telling me is, I might get one more update for security but it's anyone's guess as to when it'll drop for me. Has there been any official word when security updates will stop?

@Arobase40 what I'm getting from your comment is, start looking for a new device. OS updates ended after 3 years (I knew that already) and security updates will end after 4 years, leaving my device potentially vulnerable to any new leaks found.
I'm also under the impression that device compatibility with apps may start becoming an issue, due to the lack of ability to upgrade past Android 10.
I guess I'm ok with it, my phone has been running slow the last few months, anyways. Well, normally it runs fine but in some situations, it'll lag. Mainly in Android Auto Wireless and using the Your Phone app on my PC.
It would be great to find a new device as big (or bigger) than the Note 9, with a stylus, whereas someone makes a battery as large as the ZeroLemon battery for the phone.

If you want new features that are not available on the Note9, buy a new phone. But please don't just buy a new phone only because of the security updates lol If you're happy with your Note9 keep it (like me). I don't care about security updates and the features it has are enough for me. Also if you want Android 11 and OneUI 3.1.1 features you may wanna have a look at Noble ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-11-2021-sm-n960f-fd-n-sm-g96xf-fd-n.4244747/
Overall, just don't change phone only because of security updates.
