[Q] Is 2.2 for sure in testing?

Because I'm curious, I know some say that its currently in testing.
I found this site from the Motorola site:
https://motorola-global-android.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/62460
Which makes it look like 2.2 is coming verrrry soon.

yes, i can tell you not only is it in testing but most likely coming soon.
i have seen proof of it on phones.

Patience

Oh no rush at all! Just wanting clarification. Thanks guys!
Just strange its not on the motorola update chart

does any one know, by the way, if the update is going to be released OTA or if its going to be a process like the update for the captivate and aria?
Edit: looks like the process is similar to that of the captivate and aria.

No its OTA. It goes out like all the other moto phones ota's.
the private moto forums have discussed it and it seems besides one girl having issues (unrelated to the update probably) everyone is saying it works good.
I dont know what they are watiing for, but surprisingly, the 2.2 rom is done and ready to ship. Probably waiting fot att confirmation.

Guess we get a carrier text when it is about to come out?

Sweet. That is excellent news.

Uh oh
Will it still upgrade to 2.2 if I have removed the AT&T branded crapware?
What application/service do I need to unblock in droidwall for it to come down?

Did you totally remove the crapware?? I used Bloat Freezer on the ATT bloatware and unfroze everything before updating. No problems.

Yes. This was before I read that you had to keep it. Removed without backup with Titanium right after I had rooted. Would a factory reset put it back? I'd like to not have to exchange the phone at a store, but not having Froyo is kind of a killer. I mean, FPSE isn't even compatible with eclair

What i'm hoping for is that motorola will put it on the update map soon so that we have a rough date. As for apps.. if anything couldn't we get the files off one of our bravos if factory reset doesn't work?

This is my first motorola android phone. How long does it typically take after they release the final build of a sw version for them to officially release to the general public? Also, has anyone who has gotten the update, uploaded it anywhere for others to download or is that even possible with this type of release? Thanks.

ics ota for us

alright i have been searching forever and i keep finding people saying its out for the us now and a bunch of ppl saying its delayed. My transformer is saying no updates so i dont know if its a problem with mine or if the update is not ready yet. I tried doing a cold boot and clearing the data in the server apps, my device is not rooted its a refurb unit from best buy.

it did indeed come out 2-24 but i read somewhere bc of the bugs that Asus is working on an update for early nextweek- it also mentioned that they were pulling the OTA until the update goes out.
I know i saw the update posted somewhere here but you may want to wait a few more days until the update is released.
It took a few days for me to work some bugs out of mine, but it seems to work well now.. fingers crossed

alright thanks for the response hopefully it comes back soon then it a pretty good improvement minus the bugs?

This is wrong...they have not pulled the update....
Its still out there......nor are there any links about a patch or update..
Don't spread misinformation. Link if you can. Else don't spread what you heard..
Its bad enough around here without bad info getting Posted.

Misinformation or not - there is no update available on my device either. Stock firmware, tried the cache clear and cold reboot. Either it is a phased rollout and is S/N based or they pulled it.

im on the phone with asus now so ill see what they say

they are double checking but their first answer was that my tablet isalready up to date

whered you get that info from?

Should be pushed to your device. Have you checked for the firmware update? It should push it as long as you are not rooted or have some funky kernel or something keeping you from it.

The firmware update is what I hace been checking is there something else somewhere for a software update or something? Settings-about tablet-system firmware update is what I have been checking

What is your version number in settings-> about? I don't see any bugs aside from some FCs, the very first day my clock in the status bar was all hosed up, but that has gone away.

[Q] Nexus 4 - no 5.0 update yet...

Hey everyone!
I got a new 8gb Nexus 4 a month ago for a great price and am using it now as my daily driver since I cracked my N5 and I am a bit bummed that it still hasn't received it's 5.0 update! It is already been nearly 2 months since they started rolling out!! My N5 already had it since the beginning of December. What is the hold-up? I don't know much about the system of ota rollouts (only that they start at about 1% of devices for the first week and in the next 2-3 they creep up to 25%, 50%, 75% and then the remaining 25%) but I am studying in the Czech Republic so I thought that it was effected by geographical location but I know people here already have 5.0 ota's on there N4s :/ So why haven't I got it? What is the problem? I am on 4.4.4 build number KTU84P....
What are my options to update manually? I don't want to use the Android SDK to update so are there any other options?? I know I could update flashing the factory images but can I do this without the SDK? I don't think the update will come and I don't want to wait any longer

Google 15 second adb install xda. That'll setup adb and fastboot on your pc. Then use fastboot to flash the factory image.

Yes, with the tool you can unlock the bootloader, root your device and then install a stock rom.

I rooted and customized my N4 without a PC. Follow these steps:
1) Download and install Towelroot. Once it installs and reboots u should be rooted.
2) Download SuperSU and update binary the normal way.
3) Next download BootUnlocker For Nexus Devices. Install and tap on unlock. U should reboot and when the "Google" boot logo shows up there should be a unlocked lock.
4) Download BusyBox and install
5) Download TWRP Manager and install the latest TWRP version for mako.
6) You're done, press volume down+power when u turn on your phone to get access to TWRP.
I can confirm, I did this myself and like u I was stuck running 4.4.4 and I am using SimpleAOSP 5.0.2 and in my opinion its a lot more stable than Stock L
BTW Google does plan on releasing 5.0 for N4 but since they have so much issues with the OS, the OTA is being delayed

The 5.0.1 is very stable. There are a few little bugs in it but it's not so bad.
The battery life is okay, I use mine the whole day and on the end of the day he is like 15-20% remaining. Better than on Kit Kat.

You are asking questions that are really hard to define and VERY user-specific. For me personally, I have a Nexus 5 and my wife has a Nexus 4. Both units are completely stock and have never been rooted or messed with in any way. For us, 5.0+ has worked perfectly and has no major issues. I do not experience the "memory leak" that people scream about, and I get as good if not better battery life as I've ever gotten. I'm sure someone will immediately jump in and proclaim that I'm an "apologist" or a "Google fanboy" and that there are countless problems that are well documented and I'm just delusional. But for my wife and I, we simply haven't had any issues as daily users of the phone and the latest OS. For me, I didn't wait for the OTA, I sideloaded the updates and it was a VERY simple process. Hardest part was getting the drivers correct but once I figured that out, it was 10-15 minutes at most to upgrade each phone.

Ohh glad to hear that. My Nexus 5 performed the same I would say. Maybe even a tad better when compared to 4.4.4... Anyway glad to hear the N4 is the same (come to think if it, this phone has REALLY surprised me.. I initially skipped it and stuck with my Gnex until the N5 came out. But sadly I dropped that a few times while taking photos skiing and some moisture got into it and the screen cracked... As a student I can't afford the £178 repair just after Christmas so I looked around for a new cheaper phone. Was going to get the Motorola G but saw that there are still a few NEW N4's for £100! And since I've had the past 4 nexus devices it was a phone I just had to get. On 4.4.4 I literally can't tell the difference in performance and everything else in that matters is great! The screen is so-so - not because the resolution -> actually don't really notice anything bad at 720p and don't need 1080p. But as on most IPS screens you can see most of the pixels when in direct sunlight. Just a bit more here compared to the N5. But after a month - a REALLY great phone. For an unbelievable price. Even the camera isn't that bad )
Sorry, now back to my question - do you have a guide which you followed to sideload lollipop?? If so could you please link it? I'm a bit scared - I really can't afford to brick this phone at the moment. Thanks allot!

Force OTA?

Two of my friends recently picked up a Nexus 6p after messing around with mine and my wife's. They haven't received any updates in the two weeks they've had them and the devices came with the January security update.
Neither of these two will be unlocking bootloaders or flashing custom roms, one is local and the other one is on the East Coast. So let's leave the comments about doing it manually out of here, I'm just interested in figuring out how to force the download of the actual over the air update.
Verizon if it matters.

I forgot to mention, I have been searching but the search function on the latest version of Tapatalk is completely useless.

The only way to force it is by doing it manually. You don't have to unlock the bootloader though. It can be achieved by using adb to sideload the zip with the stock recovery. This is probably more work than you want to get into but it's the only way I know of. I have instructions in section 12 of my guide:

I think I've read somewhere that it's an issue with the device syncing with the Google servers. A factory reset might help it along, that would wipe the phone though.

The February update has finally pushed to my handset today. Hopefully if I install, the March update will follow.

I was having the same issue. I downloaded the ota's and then rebooted my phone and I suddenly had the prompt to update to the February and then the March update. It's a bit too much of a coincidence to not be because of downloading the ota's so give it a try.

Android N DP5 no OTA

So I recently signed up for the Beta Program (a second time) and I let it download (what i assumed would be DP5) Android N.
I went ahead and let it install, everything went smoothly as expected. Once it installed and booted, i checked to see what Build
it installed and it was DP4. I did the install 2 days after DP5 was released. Now it will not update to DP5...It says I'm currently up to
date.
Should i be patient and expect it to update or will i have to force update it? (which i do not want to do)
Thanks in advance

It will come. Probably in the next day or two. I've been on since 3 and don't have it yet.

AHHH..... ok, so this makes sense. I received dev 1-4 pretty much instantly on my 6P. Dev5... nothing... my Nexus 9 got the ota about 1 day after it was released... ok, so trouble with 6P.. I bet one batch of OTAs went out, then they pulled the OTA..
however, it's interesting that the 6P factory image for dev5 is still there? so, maybe just an OTA issue. hmmmm.. is the OTA for Dev5 for 6P still downloadable?

I'm not too sure if the OTA is still available but I did read on here a few people side loaded the OTA and are having problems with recovery and with apps not working. I was thinking the same thing about it being an OTA issue. I am only speaking what I read not from experience so take it for what it is. I can speak from experience though that before you install anything on your phone especially dp's it's good to read up first and if there are a few people having problems then it might be good to wait. Or take the chance if you are confident you can recover from a nuclear attack on your phone.

I would wait. I'm on DP4 also and since the OTA was pulled, it might be better to stick it out. I'm sure they want this as close to the final build as possible. Hang in there!

There are definitely issues with the Nexus 6P build. I side loaded it on Monday and I've had problems ever since, particularly with performance. I'm actually glad to hear about this delay, because that probably means they're working on an updated build for the 6P. I hope it comes sooner rather than later, because I don't know if I can handle the jank much longer.

I sideloaded the OTA as well, but haven't had any issues at all. Even Android Pay works, which is surprising...

Same here (France), device still up to date.

A little off topic, but does anyone have a link to the DP4 image file? I went to download it but it seems I can only download DP5 from Google and it says it will take 8 hours and nothing downloads. Assuming because they pulled it...?

I just got the OTA
