We're 8 days from December, but the Nov update still has not been pushed to my 6P. The device had been on the beta program, but I un-enrolled it in October. Currently on Android 7.0. My Nexus & Pixel devices have never been delayed this long.
i got mine a while ago. Bell canada

When you opt out of the beta program it won't push any OTA updates. You have to side load it via ADB. If you stay you can just wait for the public release that will come via OTA even when you're opt into the beta program. That's all from what I've been reading when I couldn't figure out why I haven't been getting updates.

Or unlock bootloader and flash images manually every month. Then root. Then become a flash junky!!!

I opted out because I didn't want 7.1 yet. Seems bizarre that it will no longer push if you opt out. Almost like Google stabbing you in the back, leaving you exposed to whatever security problems are later patched.

Hey! Just wondering, but has anyone recieved the 5.0 update yet?
Yes, i'm kinda anxious.
I'm looking forward to lollipop on the shield but I may not allow it to install when it's first released.
There are a few of my commonly used apps that either crash on start or have problems in lollipop (on the nexus 7), so I have a feeling that there are a significant number of apps that still need updating.
My shield runs so flawlessly right now that I'd really hate to mess it up.

All the sites reporting that it has started to roll out are wrong, they're all reporting this on the basis of one screenshot from one user a couple of days ago. We'd be seeing more reports here if the roll out was really underway. Hopefully we should start seeing those reports very soon.

Apparently it was reported that the roll out was due to start today fingers x.
No update yet in the UK on LTE version
No update here in The Netherlands (Lte) yet.
Is it worth pre-optimising apps to use the ART runtime (via developer options), while awaiting the update?
I'm told by my colleague who has a Nexus 4, that received the lollipop update, that it took about 50 minutes to apply the update. But he hadn't set his runtime to ART, I have.
I'm waiting to see which of my devices gets lollipop first out of my Nvidia Shield Tablet and my Nexus 4.
Still nothing
Nothing in Poland.... LTE version.
Does anyone think that we'll get double tap to wake with the update? Here's hoping that it's not an N9 kernel feature ??
No Lollipop here in the U.S. yet. Hopefully, it'll hit soon! Definitely getting exciting for this update.
No Lollipop in France yet
I've been compulsively checking for OS updates and not gotten one yet

No lollipop in Mexico! Wait all night, and nothing I'm getting tired of waiting.

Hey all I have a purely stock unrooted nexus 6p that I am trying to figure out why I am getting the monthly update a week before the release of the next update ever time. I am thinking its ATT blocking the updates. Can you please post the carrier, date and time when you received the May update please?
VZW and mine showed update on the 13th. Was starting to wonder when I'd see it, but it finally hit.
Still waiting here on Sprint for the update. This is taking forever.

I have Project Fi and get my updates rather late too. It's not just you.
If you really want the update, then by all means flash it manually as soon as it comes out.
I don't think that the carrier can actually block the update, unless you somehow bought the 6P carrier-branded, and through the carrier. That being said, I've been on Tmo, Fi, VZW, and Straight Talk, and I have never actually received a monthly security update as soon as they are released. Usually I had to wait a couple of days. I think those updates roll out randomly, so I'd say just keep waiting, or flash it yourself.
Nexus updates are known to be pushed out in stages.
If you are desperate just flash the images via fastboot or sideload the ota via adb.
Yes I know I can side load the update. That is not the point of this post. Its to get an idea of timing of when people are getting the updates and what carriers they are on.
Google releases there updates in a phased approach. They first release it to 1% all the way up to 100%. 100% should be getting the update within 2 - 3 weeks. The 2 -3 week period I have yet to see!
What I was trying to determine is if this is the carriers blocking the updates till a specific time or its google just not pushing updates to the phones like they say they are.
Note ATT is notorious for blocking updates. And yes they can block the update as long as your using there network to check.
If Google is releasing security updates on a monthly bases and you don't get it before the next update is released, whats the use in a monthly update???

How do you side load. I just saw that google has released images to do that. I too have a 6p completely stock. I want to keep the bootloader locked. I have never had a nexus device before. So this is new to me I always used Samsung. The problem with Samsung is you have to mod the hell out of it. this phone just works like it is supposed to. but I do want to try to update manually. So I followed the instructions in the general section and I am installing the sdk as we speak. So what is the process for side loading and where do I get the update? My phone gets its updates really late in the month and I hate waiting. Also I booted this phone into recovery and tried to do a factory reset but it didn't do it and there were all these options I am not used to. How do I do a basic factory reset from recovery? I would like to know just in case. I am not wanting to go crazy with this phone but I do want to understand it so when I get the nexus 7 I can play with this one when I get spare time.
I have now run across several 6p users who are part of the Android beta program who have not received the OTA security patch for September. I'm curious if this is just random or if there is a trend to be found here. So, if you are on the developer preview program, have you received your security patch yet?

Seriously? First, Nougat OTA was only released a couple weeks ago, so I'd expect the earliest security patch to be October. Second, since there is all kinds of speculation about the full Nougat factory image not being released (hardware, software, something special when Google makes their Pixel announcement), they aren't going to get multiple OTA security releases ahead on their flagship device, for which they haven't even put out a full factory image yet.
It's a simple question, the September security patch did go live 2 days ago, so it is not a question of if it coming, it is a specific question about 6p users on the developer preview program. Not even a serious one, I'm just curious.
No update here

It's been rolled out for 2 days now, i still haven't gotten a notification and when i check it says i am up to date. just wondering if anyone has gotten it yet.
Not I. I thought only beta people get it till the 17th.
I have not unfortunately. Hopefully it'll be here by Wednesday.
I received an update this morning for build number G930PVPU4APL6 and was around 400mb. Unfortunately it's another marshmallow update, December security patch. It said something about improved LTE, sorry for no screenshot of update log. It's probably just preparing for nougat
I'm on the beta and haven't got the update yet. Which sucks because the Beta 5 has made my phone so slow it's almost unusable and the battery life is the worst I've ever had.

I'm on the beta 5 as well and also have not gotten the update. I haven't had any issues with battery life or speed. However I did disable a lot of stuff. Maybe try that or a factory reset.

What happened to Nexus 6p 7.1.2 full image?
Why is it not on beta website?
It never was there, Google hasn't released it.
Almost posted the same Q today. Why didn't Google post an image despite releasing it OTA? What does that say for the next beta release for the 6P... what, we have to wait weeks after the Pixel line and then run around with butterfly nets, relying on another beta user to cap an OTA link? This beta release fixed a long time (October 2016) BT connection issue for thousands, and I was glad to get it but had to first wait, and then jump through hoops to get it. Very poor PR, IMO.
Well I have just installed March image, so I guess no beta this round
