I had the OTA a few days ago ready to be installed. Now it is not there. Was it pulled out?

Same here.
I got the update a few weeks ago. I finally had time to backup my phone and when I went to perform the update, B393 is gone.
it's not a good update IMHO. After updating to that version, my battery life is dramatically shortened. You are lucky!
I am working on rolling back to B391 now, no success yet. Inputs on rolling back are appreciated!

Weird, this update actually improved battery life for me.

I know, there are different observations. But there have been a lot of negative reports on reddit. See for example:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Honor8/comments/8jkzhk/phone_is_freezing_and_randomly_rebooting/
https://www.reddit.com/r/Honor8/comments/8iz6us/if_your_phone_battery_behaved_strangely_try_these/
https://www.reddit.com/r/Honor8/comments/8img5g/cant_seem_to_turn_off_my_wifi_help/
https://www.reddit.com/r/Honor8/comments/8hq297/changed_battery_phone_now_turns_off_constantly/
https://www.reddit.com/r/Honor8/comments/8gvzkx/does_anyone_knows_what_might_be_happening_here/
People may have different reasons to have one or some of the issues above, but I have them all! Plus my bluetooth is not working properly after rolling back to B392 on L04. So, I have to conclude it's risky to update to B393. The root may be this one reported on Android issue tracker:

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.

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!

If you're referring to TWRP and N developer previews, that's nothing new. TWRP just isn't compatible yet.

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
Just got an update for my VS995 about an hour ago. I haven't had time to look up what it's all about but it's still 7.0 although the security patch is updated to October 1st.
Figured I'd start a thread about it so others can confirm they got it and perhaps someone can share a changelog.

Damn, and here I was hoping we were going to get an update to improve the camera a bit.
Last time they pushed an update, they took away a feature I used (app pinning in recents). Anything missing that you've noticed?
Any improvements elsewhere you're noticing?

I would expect that in a major firmware, if we get it at all. First couple updates I would prese would be security patches and/major bug fixes.

I really want to take them to improve camera, and whatever else. But, afraid I'll screw myself on BL Unlock if I do.
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.

Good luck getting it to go through, I had to go to at&t online and have them force push the update earlier this week, then the touch on the phone went out and couldn't use certain parts of the keyboard. Replacement phone I got, they can't even get the update to force over.

And you still aren't up to date. There's an APK1 update from November that won't go through unless you call or chat with them. I gave up trying to get rid of it; the first S7 Edge I got on Christmas Eve, updated it to APK1 and rooted it, crashed 5 times in 10 days, then the touch sensor on the lower right went out. Then, tried to update to the October software, rooted, crashed, reset and Odined the September software, rooted, fine.
Why is it not allowed through or I'm not seeing it?

I have APK1, just got the phone today. I can root on APK1 right? Been searching for a few hours now and haven't found a definitive answer. If you could point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
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:

I am using h990ds and i haven't got any update after september 2017!
Taiwan variant H990DS im still on NOV security patch.
Can it be rolled back like the previous updates for root purposes?
Is anyone else getting severe battery drain after this update? My phone's been running hot ever since, and nothing (no single app) appears to be the culprit when I dig into Settings.

My VS995 upgraded to 1BA a couple of days ago and it hasn't caused any problems. You can boot into safe mode and check if the problem persists there.

Yes!!! My phone has less than half the battery life now. I've done battery historian and every battery app I can find and it always shows up as Unaccounted battery usage. It's got to be this security patch.
Did a google search for the same issues found this thread. I'm having the same problems with rapid batter discharge and unstable apps after the "Security" update.
