I haven't gotten the update either (HTC Aria). In the mean time, i guess i just have to keep using Android Sideload Wonder Machine.
Yes, I have also read about the update.
But didn't the official 2.2 update prevent rooting?
So why depend on ATT's updates?
Well I have 2.2 and really have no other option or way to get unknown sources on my phone....

I remember reading somewhere that it might be until the end of this week before all the phones get the update, but now I can't find the source of that information. I'd at least give it until the end of the month before worrying about it.

I meant I read somewhere that there was a specific date that they said the updates would be pushed out by. May 28 is sticking out in my mind right now but I don't know for sure. Or maybe I'm just confusing it with something else. :<
Just got my update for unknown sources on my aria))

Just curious, do I have to have a sim card in my Aria to get it to receive the update? I no longer am an AT&T customer, but I'd like to receive the update for development purposes..
Whenever I go to AT&T software update, "Check for updates" is grayed out and I can't press it.

Most likely. Since it is grayed out without the SIM card, then most likely you can't get the update without it.

I'm sure it will be available online somewhere shortly. If not you could probably just put a friends sim in it and do the upgrade or buy a cheap prepaid sim.
Still haven't got my update. I guess I'll have to stick with using the sideload program

Is the OTA update out for Bell yet. Im going to get my atrix soon and I don't want to update because then I won't have root. Unlike the american Atrix we don't have an SBF out yet.
So is the OTA update out yet. When do you think it will arrive?
I need to find out soon so I can get the atrix before the update comes.
no posts have stated that its out. but to cut to the chase, no its not out and there isn't an ETA or any statements that it is coming for bell.
So if you are asking because you don't want to buy one that is already update, then I wouldn't worry about it.

I have experienced no major problems with my Bell Canada Atrix. No random reboots, screen or wifi issues.
Its a good reliable phone!
I had my Atrix for more than 2weeks now. Got it from Kijiji. So far no word on the OTA update.
Also have no problems with the hardware. Purchased it, unlocked it, rooted and installed Launcher Pro.
A very sexy devil of a device.

Bell has actualy been doing a good job of getting timely updates out for their bigger phones (galaxy S before the US) hopefully they keep that up with motorola, in this case however it might be tough since motorola itself has a terrible record for canada
I think we might not get an update until later. It seems we already got some of the enhancements that they were getting on their update (ie detailed battery manager and screen turning off when charging).

it's sprint's fault then? can't wait for 3.2
Globatron,
I want to thank you for all your useful posts and I also had question.
I own an Evo View since my wife works for Sprint's ad agency and won one via a raffle. I do not have Sprint Service so its essentially a wi-fi only tablet, do you know when and if the Honeycomb updated releases will View owners like myself with no Sprint service be left out in the cold?
I havent gotten a straight answer from Sprint and it seems like you may know people there.
I can't answer that for 100% certain but I would strongly doubt it, the update servers generally just check the model id and CID to make sure it's a valid device not whether you have an active contract. In any case it doesn't really matter becasue we'll put the HC up here anyway once it roll out.

Correct. After I purchased another evo view with no sprint service and no hands free activation I was able to download the updates for it via wi-fi.
The sprint service is mainly for the mobile data ability (3g/4g) and text messages. Other than that you can do everything over wi-fi.

Agreed. I too have a sprint-less view and I recieved a security update today when I hit WiFi. The only thing I didn't see was the file size I was hoping for in the update. 4.56mb instead of 210.
i think its out, i have an update on my view tablet but I wont update until i can confirm that recovery can be unlocked.
A couple of devices has already locked recovery on 3.0 and I hope history doesn't repeat it self
Does anyone know if I update my HTC View (with leaked ROM, not waiting for OTA official update), will I lose 4G?

i have the view and the update came up. Only thing im on the sprint rom. So if you want it now flash one of the old sprints roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062184 - link for all the flyer roms just download one with sprint in its name
but remember when you update you will lose your root
Did you flash it, got any screens for us?
I don't know if location matters, but I'm on the west coast of the US with the View 4G on Sprint and I most definitely do not have the firmware update available on my tablet when I go to check system updates.
Still not reading anywhere about whether or not updating to the leaked ROM will ruin the 4G...I guess I'm just gonna wait. Further, since no one has the actual official update on Sprint's devices (or at least has posted) how do we know if we'll lose the ability to root the device? That's, from all accounts, a rumor since it's happened to other devices in the past...Not all, but some. So it's not confirmed.
Is there anyone out there who has actually flashed their Sprint HTC View to the leaked ROM (who also uses the data plan from Sprint)? Some insight would be much appreciated about whether or not 3G and/or 4G still works after doing so. Thanks.
I tried to update via the tablet settings and I got an Error code 1233 saying it could not be completed...?
Hmmm
The update I received, I can not and will not install. The first time I let it try, I got a nifty blue Andy with a caution sign over his head that sat there for about 30 minutes. I held down the power button until it shut off and rebooted, thankfully, back to the way it was. Then I deleted the zip file.
i've just give a call at bell and they said me that the update will be push to our device may 30... that sucks
Do you assume the Bell person knew what he was talking about? Also, "by the end of May" could actually mean "sometime in May".
yes, he was asking me for wich device and the serial number. i'm pretty sure those asshole will push it at the end of may.
Front line support in most organizations usually aren't given release dates for anything. In most cases, they know just about as much as we do.
i'm giving another call, just to know if he will tell me the same date

I'm glad you have the balls to call bell. For me they are too annoying to call and will cause my head to explode LOL. I know I saw a document somewhere showing that our update was may 12, it showed an huge massive update list for tablets, phones etc for canadian carriers. I regret not saving it for you all...
So that means that the update will get pushed wireless l. Through our 3g? Or we get a text from bell and then we plug it on the computer? How does it work

You can try the "Software Update" item under 'About Phone' from the Settings Menu.. Or if you're on Bell, you can try connecting the phone to a PC running the KIES software.
Telus Galaxy Notes do not support KIES updates. I believe Bell's do.

Probably not. What happens when you do a "SOFTWARE UPDATE / CHECK FOR UPDATE" currently? Does it give you a response or error out? if you get a response "No Update" -- then it should work eventually. It will likely be checking the Bell server tho. Not the Telus one.

In THEORY ... you could take the Bell or Telus ICS ROMs and load them on an AT&T phone in the states. And it *should* work.
I'd see the sticky at the top of this forum about doing backups and such and DO ONE before you try anything like that. And I'd probably ensure my phone was SIM unlocked for good measure.
In fact, as someone who learned the HARD way.. even if you aren't planning anything funky -- do a full nandroid backup anyway.
We all should have a full backup of our STOCK software etc.

Just checked and got the update available after a LONG wait and God knows how many checks.
Forgot to mention
Sorry forgot to mention it is just a shade over 1500 megabyte.
Yeah, since I'm not expecting root for us for a while, I went ahead and downlaoded it yesterday.
Exact size was 1505.68mb I believe.
Honestly kind of liked the old quick toggles better.
I'm happy we finally got the update and so far so good. I had hoped the long wait past the other US carriers meant 7.1 but I pretty much new that's all it was, hope. Miss the ability to go into settings with long press of the recents button. I'm watching the battery usage to see how it does for me as I have heard varying reports from great to horrible.
Whoo hoo, just got it too, look all 3 of us ATT G5 users, lol...

Yeah, I definitely think it does. I had read elsewhere that you have to have an active AT&T SIM card in the phone to get the update. That appears to be true. A coworker of mine is letting me use his AT&T SIM and now it's now downloading the update. I found that I had to check multiple times to get it to show. Since you can only check once per 24 hours, I manually changed the date to later in February and it worked with the AT&T SIM. It's still downloading, but it's 1.5GB so it has to be Nougat.
I'm outside the US, I tried the OTA and LG Bridge with my SIM unlocked H820. I can't really buy a new device since I don't have the money for it. I am incredible disappointed with this device and ATT. I will never buy from LG again.
Hey I have a G5 too! I'm excited to get home and Download this.
Mine started the update then said that the download failed... Now each time i try to check for a new update it tells me there are no updates available? Any suggestions to kick start the update?
LG G5 US AT&T here. Did the OTA update about 28 hrs ago now, and it went very smoothly. So far, I'm super pleased with the update. My phone feels faster and smoother all around, and while it's too early to tell for certain, it seems initially like batter life is noticeably improved.
I'm outside the US. Using an unlocked H820. I got an AT&T SIM card from a friend, tried updating and got a message saying my device is up to date (So no Nougat update yet). I did this with mobile data off while I was connected to Wifi. Don't have too much experience with this - Are there any specific things I need to take care of before trying to update or is it enough to just insert the SIM card and try updating? Thanks!
I'm happy we got "an update".
However, so far I'm skeptical of any battery life improvements. I suspect that Bluetooth drain is actually higher than before. And general standby drain may also be 2% or so higher...
How many cats have you all caught with the new "Easter egg?" Kinda lame, but funny too.
I don't have the fingerprint option now! Weird
I bought an unlocked h820 from b and h, when I chek for software updates it says that is up to date but im on marshmellow, what can I do?

Buy an AT&T SIM and activate it, that's the only way.
This is pretty ridiculous. I get pulling the update on April 14th due to the boot looping. But.... its June 1st and still nothing. Like June Security is gonna be out and were still sitting on launch software or March if ur phone didn't brick. Any guesses as to what the hell the holdup is?

Wi-Fi calling for T-Mobile works fine on the Unlocked S9+
Some of the carrier specific stuff downloads when the SIM registers to the T-Mobile network. But you can download the rest of the apps if you want them from the Play Store.
You don't have all the bloat unless you choose to install it.

Samsung Pay works fine. I have no downsides. Though I have never used a branded T-Mobile phone since I have been on T-Mobile, so maybe I don't know what I am missing, if anything.

Seems that all the S8 line has been updated on tmobile with may if im not mistaken. What do you bet we get an update tomorrow for April lmao. But really this is really really strange.
My wife's s8 active got the may update tonight. This just seems back asswards that the newest is the last on the list.
