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:

Thanks guys, but the twins won't be doing any of that. Lol
Any idea why the ota isn't rolling out? My wife's and mine are fine, I handle all of this stuff and teach my wife.

No idea. Same thing is happening to my girlfriend's new 6P. She is stuck on the January patch and I have been refreshing it multiple times; nothing. Hopefully it comes within the next few days.

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.

I still haven't gotten the March update yet. I'm not rooted, totally stock and I'm on metro. This is my first month with a Nexus phone. Is this normal to take this long? I saw that it didn't come out till the 5th or something.
Yes. I got the March update on my N5 and N9, both wireless-only, but not on my N6 (T-Mobile) or N6P (AT&T).
It doesn't roll out to everyone at the same time. You can update manually pretty easily by flashing the factory images with fastboot. You need an unlocked bootloader to do this. I have instructions in my guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
Yeah I saw that I could do it manually but unfortunately I have a problem getting my hands on a PC right now.

That's a shame, in that case you don't really have a choice other than to just wait for it.
The updates sometimes come from the provider. Nexus are way faster updating than say..... Anyone. (Samsung, lg, HTC etc)
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.

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.

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

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:

That's true, just wanted to show that it could be found everywhere But thanks for indexing anyways!
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
I just setup my AT&T s7 edge today. All has been great for the past 6 hours. Now my sm-g935a just downloaded a new at&t software update.
Anyone have this same update today or get this installed yet? Do we know what it includes? I will dig around for more details myself, maybe my phone was behind in updates.
UPDATE/EDIT: I think for me it might be a security patch. Noticing I am Android security patch level Sept 1, 2016. Is this the current?
Current AT&T patch for S7e is 11/01/2016. I checked last week and there was no update for Dec.

I considered rooting to uninstall all the junk ware. It seems though it can be somewhat risky. Plus it seems to give some buggy results and given the s7 is not perfect in any way, I'm personally settled to just leave it the way it is. Was hoping that update I saw last night was a prelude to a nougat upgrade.
I just came from the Note 7... Well I still have it... Anyway I don't mind buggy processes and or Idc about tripping Knox either lol. This phone is gonna be my play phone till the Note 8 comes out :cyclops:
