This type of discussion should be kept in the Blackberry Beta Zone forums and not here. If you are part of the beta program then you can read a lot of posts about how other users in the Beta are not happy with those that are leaking because it can cause a complete shutdown of the Beta Program as it did with the BB 10 Beta. So we don't end up with what is going on at CrackBerry I recommend that the mods lock this thread as any posts about the beta violate the NDA that we all in the program signed.
Why would be any NDA on a beta testing?

I am sure that if Blackberry wanted to fully stop them... they would under the NDA. They have done this in the past with leakers. All I am stating is that people who participate in a program with an NDA should follow the rules. People that don't follow the rules are the ones that ruin it for everyone else and normally the first ones to complain about something being taken away. This is because they don't get to be a hero and post information.
Please keep communications about the Beta in the Beta Zone. This way we don't lose the ability for future testing of software from Blackberry, like they did with BB10.
I want to add that the reason there is an NDA is so people don't release a copy of the OS, screenshots and other data. That is because this is a Beta and Blackberry was nice enough to let users test it and have input into what they would like to see in the OS and find bugs that need to be fixed. Blackberry could have done like a lot of other OEMs and kept everything internal until release.
My stance on this is that we have not received anything from RIM about this being copyrighted, or a C&D or anything of the sort.
If someone agrees to an NDA, then that is between them and the entity with whom they agree on an NDA.
But according to the link provided in the OP, it says nothing about anything being confidential in any way, nor does it preclude our forum users from discussing it.
So we will watch the thread but right now I see no reason to close it or take action on it.
Public Release
http://www.marketwired.com/press-re...n-android-marshmallow-nasdaq-bbry-2118387.htm
Android 6.0.1 has been public released by BB. Still delayed for carrier purchased devices but if you have a non-carrier purchased device you should start getting it. The beta program will still go on. So if you want to join you can.
Telus also shaduled MM for priv and the date decided is may 3
This is my first time coming back to the forums in a while after upgrading from my old Droid 4. I just got a notification on mine about a system update. I take it this is the Marshmallow upgrade. My Priv is Verizon branded. I'll go ahead and install it.
Edit: Still running 5.1.1. Not too sure what all was updated.

I would say no as Verizon devices are not in the Beta. I would say that might be a security update. Blackberry has been great in sending out the security updates.

To anyone else in the UK with an unlocked Priv from CPW (STV100-4), like me who is fed up of waiting for the OTA Marshmallow update. I followed the instructions on BB's official support page here to install MM: http://uk.blackberry.com/content/bl...pport/smartphones/blackberry-PRIV/reload.html
Does involve a factory reset though but works great

Got the OTA Marshmallow update today (STV100-4 one from CPW in the UK). Gone from the manually flashed version above (Android 6.0.1 Build AAE570) to the OTA version (still 6.0.1 AAF057), not spotted any changes yet other than now having the June 1st security patch included.
I also got this update yesterday. For me it improved performance quite a bit and battery life seemed to be better, as far as I can tell from a few hours of usage.
But my annoying problem with the phone randomly not deep sleeping anymore, being awake permanently until a reboot and draining my battery is still there.
Has there been any official word from Motorola as to if or when the MXPE might receive Android N? Heck, I guess I'd be happy just to get 6.0.1!
Android N - Chat Log
I casually brought Android N up in a chat I had with Motorola support.. this was the reply. Don't know how trustworthy it is, but it sounds promising.

Customer service claims that the options for broken VoLTE are to Turn VoLTE off, swap with a refurbished Nexus 6, or wait for N. Based on my experience with this phone, I think "wait for N" actually means "wait for the warranty to expire."
Would be great if with the upgrade to N will come also the VoltE bug fix. I'm very disappointed with the lack of support from MotoNovo on this phone.

I try to check for updates about once a week, both here and at the t-mobile update page (https://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones-tablets-devices/software-updates). As I'm sure you all know, as of today (06-22-2016), the note 4, note edge, and tab s2 are the only ones without an update. So today, I contacted t-mobile's chat support to see if they could offer any more information. Here is the transcript in its entirety. My initial question isn't there because I asked it when initiating the chat session, but it asked when the update would be available, since the rest of the samsung devices had been updated except for the three, and since other carriers had updated it as well:

Your own update page ([/FONT][FONT="]https://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones-tablets-devices/software-updates#tmoSUPDocTitle[/FONT][FONT="]) shows it still being under Manufacturer development. [/FONT]
[FONT="]You[/FONT][FONT="] : however, the rest of the Samsung devices, with the exception of the note 4, note edge, and tab s2 have been at the completed stage for over a month.

I'm just pissed because it has brought development to a hault and I only use Tekhd....and he ain't gonna release the MM rom until T mobile does....and honestly I agree with him on that aspect because if I was him I would wait too. Just so it wouldn't be half ass...I have tried almost every single mm rom but without a kernel source for a decent kernel it's too much of a hassle to even try to run them....

This is correct. It has not changed. It's amazing how these rumors get started.
I have a bad BL on my Note 4, so the update means perhaps even more to me. Still. I must wait, like everyone else.
It'll probably come soon... I just switched to a custom ROM, now they'll push MM just to screw with me.
It won't surprise if they never release it for the Note 4. A lot of Note 4s had the Emmc read failure after updating to 5.1.1. Releasing MM will surely wreak havoc to Note 4 owners.

I bounce back and forth between CMRemix and Resurrection Remix; once you go Marshmallow it's hard to go back.
Back on point, I've heard conflicting arguments about who's holding up MM on Note4, Samsung or TMO. I'm inclined to think it's TMO, but I'm not 100% sure. My understanding is that Sammy gives the carriers the Sammified version of the OS, then the carriers add their frosting to it before shipping it out. I've also heard that the carriers give Sammy their requirements, and Sammy then delivers a fully-baked product ready for delivery. Any one know which is true?

It should be the latter. I don't think T-Mobile has enough dev resources to modify ROMs. But I still blame T-Mobile because they have too many requirements. For example, Bluetooth tethering is disabled; mobile hotspot has its own branding; etc.
The previous T-Mobile phone I owned was LG G2x. I still remember how terrible the update story was. Now I am going through the same crap again. I've had enough, will never buy a carrier branded phone again.
It'll get here when it gets here... then we'll have 20 threads about how bad MM messed with my perfectly working Note 4!
I called Tmo last week and asked about MM update, they blamed Sammy, so I called Sammy and they said they have released MM to the Carriers months ago and it was stable on N4. I called Tmo back and pushed to get a real explanation. A tech person got on the phone and told me that when they released MM to S5 (same generation) they had nothing but problems and it shut down many of the S5 phones. And so, long story short, they are allegedly working on the bugs so as to not have the same problems with N4. However, with N7 coming out in August, I think they are hoping that people just go ahead and upgrade to N7. But I don't believe that they can just NOT update N4 to MM so they will have to deal with it. But I told Tmo that they should just allow the Devs at XDA to deal with the problems as they Devs here seem to be better at working out the bugs and of course, we would have had the update months ago.
As for the Note 7 (they are skipping Note 6), the leaks reveal that it is simply a S7edge updated with a stylus, a little more ram and a hair faster processor, a sealed battery but with sd card slot.... and at a price of over $900... I say, no thanks. I think I will stay with my N4 or jump ship on Samsung products. There are some really good phones available now that are going to give Sammy a run for their money. We shall see how it unfolds.
Yep, MM will brick a lot of phones.
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
I've tried every custom MM Rom for N4, all of them have bluetooth issues which is a deal breaker for me. I use my headset daily to listen to music and podcasts, and having a phone randomly tell me the bluetooth share has crashed several times a day is just too much. Best luck I've had in terms of stability and battery life has been the debloated DOK2 rom. I've also noticed GPS is hit and miss with basically all custom Roms.
I have to agree with the notion that Tmo is holding update as strategy to promote sales of n7 since they have track record of doing just that. We have to remember, all of these excuses are nullified by the fact that other Tmo phones, including n5, have already been given update.
That being said, it is not totally out of the realm of possibly that they completely deny this phone an update to MM. This occurred with the n2, which was completely denied it's 3rd (final update) despite promises by Tmo.
Point being: Business is a contact sport. So unless we are willing to protest with our purchasing power, companies, like Tmo, will continue to trample on consumer rights and avoid ethical responsibility.

Same here. Don't like sealed batteries, don't like edge displays, don't like glass backs, and since I have a toddler who's favorite game is "hide the remote", I've gotten quite fond of the IR blaster. The N4 is a workhorse, and it looks like I'll be riding it into the ground.
...Nine Hundred Dollars?
Personally I'm not worried about it. The MM update will probably open a can of worms. Since they updated LP to 5.1.1 it's running pretty sweet. I like the N5 ported 5.1.1 custom rom I have. Everything works. Viper4Android works. If Viper doesn't work on the MM update that will be a fatal flaw. They should take the time to make it work right before they release it.

This isn't the reason at all, Pie is out for the note 8/9. Problem is T-mobile needs to do testing with their software before it gets out to T-mobile customers.

This IS the point. Regardless of who is doing the testing, the freaking phone doesn't get the update. The Note 7 FE version got it already and we are still waiting. The Note 8 was a flagship a year ago. Updates should come in a month or two, not a year's time regardless of who is testing it. Both TMO and Samsung need to respond faster. Not a problem on my Pixel 3Xl since TMO doesn't need to "test it".

PIE is out for Sprint
Its been three weeks on the testing block and still no update. Its a shame tmobile lacking to update the note 8 knowing this was a flagship phone when it came out two years ago.
It'll be here in days.
Looks like ATT is rolling out as of now. Let's hope T-Mo has it together enough to be in the same ballpark as Sprint and ATT, at least.
T-Mobile begins to rollout Android 9.0 Pie for Galaxy S8, S8+ and Note 8 phones
First Sprint, second AT&T and now T-Mobile is sending Android Pie for Galaxy S8, S8+ and Note 8 phones that are running on Android 8.0 Oreo.
The latest software update bring Android version 9.0 Pie and Samsung's One UI interface along with new features. Also, the update contains March 2019 security patch including bug fixes and system improvements.

It's not out for the T-Mobile Note 8 yet. While ATT and T-Mobile have both pushed the S8 and S8+ updates, only ATT (and earlier Sprint) has pushed the Note 8 Pie update.

Thing is, it would have been a surprise if the Original Pixel (and XL) did not get Q.
Let's face facts - there are two - and only two - phone ODMs that have been keeping every phone of the past three device cycles current - not just with security updates, but with OS updates as well - Google and Apple. (That's it.) That is not merely why there is a used/refurbished Pixel market (my mom just pulled the trigger on a refurb Pixel XL), but why I pulled the trigger on my 3a last month. Pixel pricing - new or otherwise - is sane. (The 3a and 3a XL drive that point home with a sledgehammer - and especially in the US.) Unless you have a network-locked or network-specific model, you can take them to any carrier in North America. Lastly, Pixels are like utility infielders in baseball - they largely don't surprise.
I've had the beta version of q for a couple of months now. Just waiting for the official one to hopefully get rid of the few annoying bugs I have occasionally.
My phone is not rooted, completely stock. I don't care for doing that stuff anymore.
Curious - Exactly what bugs have you had?

I'm running RC2 of Q on my sargo (also dead-stock); first time I've run dead-stock Android (on anything) since Ice Cream Sandwich on a Lenovo tablet.
The reason I'm over here in Pixel XL turf is for my mom (not me) - she's joining #teampixel and specifically has a Pixel XL (refurbished) enroute. When it arrives, she is taking it to the nearest Verizon store to have her settings/apps/etc. migrated from her old phone (Samsung J3) to the Big Pixel. She's used to running dead-stock (remember, Verizon customer); however, her J3 is running Nougat- how much of a learning curve will she have with Pie?
I think most of the learning curve would be from switching from Samsung UI to stock Android.
I went from OnePlus 5 (for 2 years straight) to a Samsung s8 after I killed the OnePlus in saltwater. I didn't hate the s8 but ended up selling the s8 for a pixel XL. For most people it's what they're used to.
