Hi all,
Picked up a 6P a couple of days ago and am stuck on the 1st Jan 2016 security patch and build MMB29P (phone isn't finding any new OTAs). I know this isn't very Nexus but I don't fancy flashing if I don't have to.
Is this a known thing and I just need to be a little more patient?
Cheers
Dan
Apologies, just realised this needs to go into the Q&A section. Could someone advise as to how to move?
Same problem here, I did sideload February OTA, and received March OTA by air.

Same problem, I bought my Nexus 6P from Amazon, guy from Google told me that it's going to take up to two months to get an update because I didn't buy it from Google store.

Surely that can't be the case? How would they know where it was bought from? I bought a N9 from Argos and have never had problems with OTAs.
I called Google and asked why I'm not getting update, told the guy that I bought my phone through Amazon, he said that only phones purchased through Google store will be updated right away and I'll have to wait one to two months.
I bought mine from Amazon and I haven't received any updates. I'm still on the the January security patch also. If this is true it's pretty messed up of Google to do that. Shouldn't matter where you purchase the phone at.

I wish/hope it's not true but that's what they told me. Thinking about sending damn phone back.

This would be completely BS if it is true. The biggest reason I choose this phone over the S7 was for the OTAs.

Same for me. I'm thinking Google have temporarily put the update on hold. Hopefully we'll get an official line from them soon.

This isn't true, I bought mine from Google a few weeks ago and I'm still stuck on January. I talked to their support and was told that many users are reporting this problem so they are looking into it.

Honestly I don't want to go through the hassle of side loading it, I shouldn't have to. Hopefully they get this fixed because I'm getting some horrible lag when I tap to open Google music and other g apps, not sure if the ota will fix these bugs.

Hey guys! :angel:
I was stuck on January as well as some of you and got tired of not receiving any update at all because I read that there are major improvements in MHC19I version.
However I managed to find site where are listed all OTAs and picked the one that was unable to find in my case MMB29P to MMB29Q. Then sideloaded it through default recovery (no hassle at all, took same time as casual OTA) and voilà new update available. Now I'm finally on MHC19I. To all who are worried about warranty and stuff, sideloading official update does NOT void your warranty. I may provide detailed instructions for updating, but it's described sufficiently all around the internet.
Explanation why I sideloaded: There's actually a bug causing your device to not see update server. I don't know if this can be fixed by any engineer in google, but it should be. However it can be fixed by sideloading any following update. :good:
Have fun! :victory:

Yes, US has been the very last region to update both times, so far, and I expect it will be again this time, too. The second update didn't take long at all to get to every US user, though, once the US update pushed. By the time I got my notification everyone else already had it and the update URL was all but pointless. I'm not really all that concerned with getting this one, but man I hope that 6.0 update hits every region fast. We're building a larger user base now, though, so maybe we'll get lucky and XDA members from each region will be among the early people to get the push notification.

For whatever reason, they start the soak tests later here than other places also. I don't think they've even started the soak tests here yet.
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.

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.

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

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
I ordered an essential phone on eBay, which came in today. It functions. However it's stuck on 7.1.1. I contacted Essential and they told me what I have is a Sprint demo model. I run a few errands hardware tests and it seems it does have the sd835 (it says msm8998?) and correct ram and memory, supposedly. It said something like only 407dpi and a slightly lower resolution display. I contacted the seller and he told me that Essential says this to like 20 of his customers and that I can manually download and install the update. I'm hesitant to try that in case of hardware discrepancies. The bootloader says "Mata" for codename etc. Any thoughts on this???
I have the chance to return it. Is it worth it to return it and get another one? I want the correct specs as a normal ph1.

Mata is the codename for this phone. If you goto about phone and it is hardware revision 1.8 then you have the same hardware as the rest of us and should just download one of the "back to stock" fastboot packages on this forum and call it a day.

Thank you for the info I do have 1.8. What is the significants of that? Will I get OTA's now that I manually was able to update to 9.0?
I fastboot installed 9.0. rebooted and had no touch screen. So I installed through adb sideline the same version and it seems to be working now.

If Sprint is anything like Telus (my carrier) you will get ota updates but it could be days or weeks after essential releases them. I do all my updates manually.

What is the variant in the bootloader? It must be unlocked, so in that case, you should get OTA updates as they are released.
It does say unlocked but it would not receive OTAs, I spent a good couple hours trying and troubleshooting. I contacted Essential and that's when they told me it's probably a Sprint demo. I just unlocked the bootloader and updated everything manually then relocked the bootloader.
You could flash last months 9.0 release, use it like that for a bit and see what happens. Would be the fastest way to determine whether it will update now or not. Also you should leave the bootloader unlocked, from what I've seen on this forum relocking the bootloader has been the cause of 99% of bricking for this phone.
Thanks for the info. I may try the recent prior update thing, if not I guess I can always manually flash.
Anyone else end up with a "demo" model (according to Essential)? What's your experience with it?
