Hey everyone, I've been using my Nexus One for 2ish years now and this is the first time it's ever given me problems!
I was at work earlier today, posted a status update to FB. Go back to doodle around 20 minutes later, and I have no connection to the network! I'm on CM7. I was on nightly 213 or so (I'm not good at staying current with these). But I was hoping that it was just a software problem and as soon as I got home I updated to the latest nightly (253). Flashing the new nightly didn't help at all.
In the "Available Networks" menu, it searches and never shows a network. T-Mobile and AT&T are always choices in my area and neither show up.
EDIT: Went to my local T-Mobile store, woman working said it was a problem with my old SIM card. She copied me a new one and I'm back up and running!
I bought an HTX 8X on Vodafone business (unlocked) some months ago. Got an OTA upgrade recently and now I'm on:
firmware version is 3030.0.34101.401
OS: 8.0.10327.0
I also bought my wife an HTC 8X from an online retailer who sold it unlocked. However when the phone boots it displays the Three network logo briefly so I'm presuming the phone was originally tied to the UK Three mobile network? She has never got an OTA upgrade since I bought the phone for her in July 2013. Her phone's on:
firmware version: 1532.20.20100.771
OS: 8.0.10211.0
How do I upgrade this second 8X to the latest firmware/OS so that it is at least on par with my own 8X? I've checked for updates (OTA) and none are available. HTC don't appear to provide a firmware upgrade tool on their UK web site and the Windows Phone app, when loaded and when my wife's phone is connected via USB, does not offer any upgrade option.
Thanks.
The original carrier still controls the update schedule. Your second phone will get the update when the carrier approves it. If there's a way to force it to update faster, I'm not aware of it (though there might be, anyhow; there was for WP7 and we've been able to proxy some of the WP8 update network traffic).
I've flashed previously version 6 and stopped receiving updates after that. Now I purposely picked a broadband version that at&t supports and flashed my phone, but now I'm still now seeing software updates. I'm on stock 7, there should be 4 updates lined up.
Edit: Actually it was G920AUCS5DPJ1 and that's on the update list. So weird, it's been months and I never got any updates after G920AUCS5DPJ1 (6.0.1).
Update: You need an ACTIVE at&t sim card, either a plan or prepaid.
Just swap over my Sim from EE to O2 after reading something on reddit, then checked for updates and by magic there it is May Security Update 2.22A
I originally side-loaded 8.1 few days ago but was still on the April security with no update.
Now i have a feeling EE got some agreement in place with Nokia & other Android vendors over updates if using an EE sim you basically wait like the contract phones for updates, if this being the case then it goodbye EE and move back to Three.
What your thoughts on this?

I have the same problem with EE. But I am still on 8.0 and Feb security patch. BTW how did you update to 8.1, I tried via VPN as suggested by Nokia support but it didn't work.

Head here reg your phone and download the downgrade from Android P which is 8.1.
https://www.nokia.com/en_int/phones/developer
Now easiest way to install it without using ADB is to put it on the phone storage & install from SD in the recovery menu, you might get some error's after it's installed but don't worry about these 8.1 will be fully and error free on your phone, then you need another sim other than EE then you receive the May update or you could try another sim first and see if the 8.1 with may patch shows up.
Edit
also forgot to mention on 8.1 you can enable wifi calling on EE something you cant do on 8.0.

I can confirm also. After swapping Sim, I've got v2.22A
I installed the 8.1 ROM (via ADB) on my TA-1055 last week. Just swapped out my EE SIM for a Three SIM and the May security update was available. I then switched back to the EE SIM and it disappeared. Switched back to Three again and have now upgraded successfully.
Edit: I just realised that EE are now selling the Nokia 7 Plus, so I guess they're blocking / delaying updates until they've completed their own testing.
I'm on ID (Carphone Warehouse's network) and they too are blocking the update.

Could this be the reason for delay?
Do they have to add something to the firmware to enable it?
I am on Three in Ireland and I do not have any option in settings for WIFI calling.
I'm on Plusnet Mobile which piggy backs on EE and have seen no updates since I purchased my phone on release day......
Took my SIM out yesterday, replaced with on old O2 one and rebooted - hey presto 3 updates downloaded over wifi and installed. Everything now working with my Plusnet SIM on 8.1 June security
I'm BT sim and no update. I removed sim, factory reset and got 2 updates via wifi with May security. Put in BT sim and a few days later got the June security upate.
Don't understand that as the carrier should have no influence on updates on this phone as they come direct from Google because this is an Android One phone. I can understand if the phone is from EE (I.e. on contract) as I have an LG G6 contract phone which has had no updates from Nougat and only 1 security update in Jan .

same experience here
1055 uk. plusnet network SIM . bought phone via John Lewis. EE app was instaled on phone
changed to not working SIM fro freedompop and 3 upates immediately. including june security patch
So what happens when you put the EE sim back in and EE finally issue the update?
I was wondering, last month, how\when\if I'd get EMUI 9, since I bought my phone from eBay, from the UK, and it was locked to EE. I got it unlocked. (I live in Ireland).
I have been checking Hi Care, and the System Update, every so often, wondering where it would appear.
I checked Hi Care today and there was nothing, then I checked System Update in settings and there it was. Currently downloading.
I was kind of under the impression that Hi Care would have the update first, that it'd come straight from Huawei; And that System Update would give me the update from my current mobile provider. Can anyone confirm is this is supposed to be the case?
I'm still not clear on who exactly the update came from, but at least it's finally here..
