I'm seeing LRX21L & Q. Just received a N9 tonight. After the update I now have LRX21R.
Is this a new build or old?
This N9 is for my wife and it's staying stock. When I get mine, if this is a new build, do I need to wait for a new root method?
I currently have the L version. Perhaps, you have the newer update
Edit: I mean I currently have the Q.
I was running Q and when I got home tonight I was prompted to update to R. So I guess that's the most recent. Hopefully a fix for the WiFi issues.

We're running a 5gHz AC network. The N9 has a one brief disconnect. Feel pretty fortunate to have a solid N9. No flex, no light bleed. Extremely snappy.
Now I just have to learn how to root then adb for unlocking boot loader. WAY too much white in the UI. Burning my eyes.
OTA links
Posted the ota links for LRX21R in the other thread [REF] Nexus 9 Stock OTA URLs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56840199&postcount=131
Nice, I haven't really had any issues with my N9 barring WiFi at the office. At home, everything is groovy. At the office, it won't connect to our guest network but it does connect with authentication to our main network. Not really sure what the differences are behind the scenes. I was hoping the update would fix the guest connection issue.
Hi, I'm stock Q, no root but unlocked, I will receive R by ota or I have to sideload it ?
I'm still on L.

I had to manually update mine to Q and still nothing about R in Canada either.
I've gotten nothing about R here in the US
I got a 17MB update this afternoon. Here is the screen shot. LRX21R.
I'm getting disconnected from WiFi almost every 1/2hr.
Edit: I'm from Southern California. Also, Google posted LRX21R factory image.

I'm also in Southern CA, but still on L. I do the "Check Now" pretty often, turn it off and back on again once a day, and can't even get the Q OTA. I'm really curious about Google's rollout method.
Did you do anything to trigger either update? I'd factory reset, but I'm 11 hours into Battleheart Legacy which does not support Play Games.
On a side note, I received the Nvidia Shield Tablet Lollipop update at 6:30am this morning - just as Nvidia promised. C'mon, Google!
Nope, i don't recall doing anything differently other than plugging it in to charge at night. Went to work, got home and the update popped up. I never understand how OTA is pushed out so I can't make any assumptions.
I am however experiencing many wifi drops after the update. I have my phone and tablet side by side and both connected to my wifi. Only the tablet is getting wifi drops.
i was playing word feud on the tablet and the notification to R came in after 3pm PST. im in LA ca.
updated just fine.
Got the update yesterday in the evening, my location is Germany

I got an update from Zune, but it was OS update only. There was no firmware. Should I restore and try it again?
It'll come later, some have got the firmware and not the OS.
Thanks for letting me know.
I just got a similar reply on Nokia Support. They're being pushed seperately. The user I replied to had received the firmware, but not the OS update yet.
I'll try to be more patient.
I just did the disconnect trick, and it's downloading 8107, will report what firmware I have when it's done
---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------
Got 8107 + new firmware in one go
Tried the disconnect trick when the last update was being rolled out but wasn't working. :S I thought they fixed it?
Clearly not
Also, MVNO's are better supported now, my phone shows Giffgaff instead of O2-UK, not seen that in a while!
I'll give it a go.. Hopefully it works this time around.. Any tips?
Took me about 5 goes to time it right. Best tip is preserver I guess. I also turned flight mode on as I read that helps.

+1 to this. took a few attempts, worked in the end
Just managed to get it updating. It's getting new Windows verison, not sure about FW tho, will have to wait for it to finish and check.
Any noticable improvements yet? I know it's too early though
Mine only said Windows version, but firmware was included too. Auto-brightness seems better, diagnostic app contains more stuff. Charging now to see new capacity.
I just flashed back to 11451 via NCS, then forced the update through Zune.
I got both the OS update and firmware (8106.11500). I'm hoping this firmware is the answer to all our battery problems. Full charge capacity is sitting at 1483mAh. Will post back if it starts to drop (like on all the other firmwares)...
T-Mobile USA Zune Force Update Worked..
Flashed and have joy now..
Like others mentioned above, battery capacity reads 1481 rather than 1517; so was this the correction I wonder?
Will have to see how it performs over the coming days.
Autobrightness seems to work MUCH better; that alone will conserve some power.
Going to close down my system and go home now; I am curious if Bluetooth will be any better. I have a Nokia J - works better than non-Nokia, but have had to re-pair it a few times due to repeated connection dropoffs. Want to see if A2DP will work now. And of course, will try the camera to see if there is anything else good there (in spite of prior reports..)
Cheers
[1st Edit]
Ok, so far BT is holding together but we'll see.. I'll have to see if the belt holster throws it off. Still no A2DP though.. Podcasts, music, and Nokia Drive voices still play through speaker and won't route through headset.
[Edit 2]
Camera.. Nuts.. Spoke too soon. At work under fluorescents.. No pink spot. Came home .. Under halogen, spot is still there unless I use flash. So looks like nothing changed after all except the focus default setting (whoop dee dee... )
[Edit 3] Bluetooth seems very stable.. Going to try now with a non-Nokia earpiece..

I'll keep trying. It'll come up one of these days.
I didn't notice the keyboard issue until it was pointed out.
Not getting any updates at all?
Im using the mac os x windows phone connector not sure if thats the problem...
Regions are UK
Bought yesterday an LG G Watch (on sale at € 108 shipped, on the Italian Play Store, can't really say no at that price).
I had previously had this same smartwatch for a week but returned it because Android Wear was still too "immature"... At the time it was at the 4.4W.1 release. Lots of improvements and bug fixes came with the 4.4W.2 and still lots more are coming with the "Lollipop" release just going out now and which solves more "practical" issues I had with how Android Wear worked (e.g. you can now finally turn off the tilt motion to wake it up).
The problem I am now having is that the G Watch was updated to the 4.4W.1 version as soon as I paired it to my Note 3 and after a day and no matter what I tried, I am still on 4.4W.1!
Now, I can wait a week or 2 for the 5.0.1 version but I would like to get at least to the 4.4W.2 version in the meantime, since the 4.4W.1 has the problems (the bugs and the lack of features) which made me return the G Watch the first time...
After trying to restore the G watch and pair it again with the smartphone (a tedious process since you have to re-set everything up...) I am still unable to update and I now also have problems with Google Keep on the watch (it says unable to connect) and with another app (an internet browser). Never mind for the browser, but Keep is one of the killer applications for a smartwatch, for me.
BTW, the Android Wear companion app is the 1.0.5 version (got updated yesterday few hours after downloading it and setting up the watch the first time, and before trying to reset everything up).
So, any ideas about what to try..?
TIA
I'm in the same situation.
I just received it today and it's on 4.4W.
It downloaded an update (don't know which one), but when it propose me to update I click on the checkmark and it remain on the question if I want to update and nothing is happening.
My actual Android Wear app is 1.0.4.1611133
Do I need to update to 1.0.5?
Will it try to upgrade from 4.4W directly to 5.0.1 (I don't think so...)
What can I do?
Thanks
Woody
PS: It started again to download and now let me click on the checkmark to update.
Now I'm on 4.4W1.
In Settings I click on Software update and started again to download something (it will take a lot of time looking to the graphics).
It will be 4.4W2 or 5.01 ???

After the umpteenth reset (of both the G Watch and the Android Wear app) and re-pairing, I have finally managed to trigger an update.. Don't know which one yet since it's still donwloading.
Anyway, AFAIK to be able to get the 5.0.1 update you have to have the updated Android Wear app first but don't worry, it will update shortly via the Play Store as it did for me after a few hours. The problems were always about the G Watch only.
Ok thanks. What I am experiencing is frequently disconnection between Android Wear and the smartwatch. Even one every two minutes. What could be the reason?

It could really be many things (also on the phone side)... Try resettting the whatch maybe.. Fow what it's worth, I was not experiencing it and bear also in mind that Wear updates have always improved upon the BT connection so updating may very well fix your issues.
ANYWAY, DOWNLOAD IS FINISHED AND IT'S 5.0.1, so problem solved for me!
I'm glad for you, so the update was from 4.4w1 to 5.0.1?
With Android wear already at 1.0.5 or previous version?

Like I said, the Android Wear app got the 1.0.5 update a few hours after installing it on my Note 3 and AFAIK you must have the 1.0.5 version to get the 5.0.1 update on the watch (you should still be able to receive the 4.4W.2 update though).
Haven't you finished downloading and installing the update you were getting? It should be the 4.4W.2 update.
It's really really slow, it's going on from at least 45mins now. So if I "force" 1.0.5 downloading it and stopping the actual download on the smartwatch (that probably is 4.4w2) I should get directly 5.0.1...

Unless the download has stopped, I really wouldn't do that if I were you...
You are already experiencing problems with the watch (BT connection, download speed etc), problems which may make the next update troublesome and which would likely be fixed by the update you are already downloading..
Based on the time passed, it will take around four hours to download. Is it possible? I'm on an 8MB ADSL. Is it the BT so slow?
Done. I stopped the download, make a fabric reset, upgraded the Android wear to 1.0.5, restarted the download and after 3hrs it was updated to 5.0.1. Wonderful...
I have 1.0.5 of Android Wear, but I'm stuck on 4.4W.1 on the Sony Smartwatch 3 that I bought from Verizon this morning. Being new to Android Wear, it took me hours today to figure out why I couldn't do any of the cool things that the watch reviewers could do. I wasted so much time trying to get Google Play Music to work. Only to realize later that it's because I don't have that functionality yet. That functionality is why I bought the watch! It's what Sony and Google is selling!
If it doesn't come in a day or two, I'll have to return it. I don't trust Verizon to ever rollout an update. I know it should be a stock watch and have nothing to do with Verizon.... But I don't trust them to not have snuck in somehow and altered the watch so that they can control the updates.

Has nothing to do with Verizon... Android wear is purely controlled by Google/android...It is NOT a phone or tablet therefore a carrier cannot affect updates just be patient it's coming bro
Yes, I incorrectly disparaged Verizon, so I have to circle back and make the correction. It's a stock device and they have not customized the software like I had assumed. They tried to be helpful before passing me off to Sony this morning. On Sony's end, I had to download a Windows (also available for Mac) app called Sony PC Companion, and it forced an updated for my watch. So I'm up to 4.4W.2 and I have the features I want.
Z981 for T-Mobile has a new update and it seems to fix some screen tearing issues. Update seems to add some stability too.
Any one else running this update?
Thoughts?
Just found out that you can unlock the bootloader with this update by tapping the build number 3 times.
Then developer options can be enabled.
Then OEM unlocking can be enabled.
What does this do for us guys?
It updated for me this morning, and I have yet to see much of a difference. Then again, I've been doing housework all day and haven't messed with the phone today.
Did some looking, the update was just the November security patch.
The bootloader unlock option was there before the recent update. You need to find the tmo folks on tinder and snuggle with them to get those tools to actually use that option.
Been 24hrs since I updated and have hammered device with no sight of the "Tetris stack" glitches. So on top of the security patch there must've been a kernel / graphic driver update.
good day.
The Metro variant just got an update too. Added a few features and included a few bug fixes. Haven't had time to really test drive it but it seems to be stabler, no screen bugs or data drops yet.
Edit: The Metro update also let us get into recovery now but nobody's had time to play with it much yet. So far we've got recovery, FTM mode, and safe mode, I think.

Yes the metro update actually fix my screen flicker. I tested minecraft that has screen flicker many many times while playing it. After the update, I played it again and no flickers so I am really happy about it.
AS for recovery, FTM mode, and safe mode - I had all those even before the update, actually.

For some reason I haven't received the update where I am right now for my T-Mobile variant. Can anyone upload the update.zip and share it?

Yes, that's what I thought after I read in one thread that MetroPCS pulled the update. Waiting a bit doesn't kills? Feels great to be back in XDA again. I usually use XDA for learning and reference, I only have a couple of post but been around for awhile.
My z981's mfg date was October 2016, T-Mobile variant, I picked it up December 10th, when I realised my Nexus 5 was unsalvageable. I assume the update was pulled, as I am on 0B04, one page on T-Mobile's site says the update was set for a staged release between the 21st of November through the 19th of December, another page doesn't even show this phone amongst their active or testing updates..
If I receive an update notification, I'll pull the file, but I probably won't flash it myself.

Nice. The update never showed up on my device. I may reset it just to see, but I'm not concerned. I replaced the launcher from the start, disabled a couple of apps, but the phone works well enough for me as is. I mostly read and listen to music, so nothing demanding.
Still, a nougat update with an unlocked bootloader/fastboot would be a great gift from ZTE lol.
[edit] I backed up my music and files, and reset the phone, still no update. I won't worry about it 'till people start receiving the 'next' update, or root is achieved and someone makes a custom kernel/rom.

I don't personally own one, the default charger works well enough for me so far, though the phone supposedly charges significantly faster while off. I haven't tested this myself, but if it turns out to be true, I'd assume the kernel limits charging, which wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

If I ever receive the update I'll pull it from the device and upload it to mega or Google drive. Not holding my breath, since it was probably put on hold for causing issues on some devices.
I shall greatly appreciate it if you can do it or anyone that updates and has the time to load it.

There's only been one update since the phone came out, and that was in April.
Went out to get the mail, came back and I noticed a download icon on my phone, turns out its in the middle of an update. File size is 477.3mb. I already have the update from April, so Im not sure what this'll be. Guess I'll know within the hour, as its downloading quite slowly.

I just finished downloading it myself. It's at updating now... (1/2) stage right now. I hope they fix all the issues and complains people had, or at least most of them.
It went from 11a to 12b. I do not notice any differences yet, but I didnt experience issues prior to the update either.
Hopefully this fixed my Bluetooth issues. I installed it and will try it when I leave work to see if my streaming issue goes away (static/crackle).

And....It doesn't.
The latest update bricked my phone this morning. It got stuck on the LG screen, then occasionally flashing the "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and my not work properly." I couldn't even factory reset it. Took it to a Verizon store and they couldn't do anything either. At least they will FedEx me another phone overnight.

'I have a new G6 and a new problem with Play Music. When connected via Bluetooth to my 2016 Subaru Outback head unit, Play Music track info does not appear on the head unit display. My previous LG G5 had no problem doing this consistently. Other apps like Pocket Casts displays track info, no problem. I reviewed the G6 supported Bluetooth profiles and they are compatible with the Subie head unit.
This is maddening! Has anyone else experienced this and then found a solution?
cheers,
mordango
UPDATE: I had this phone replaced with fresh G6. It was still on the 11a Verizon software version. Connected it to the car head unit via Bluetooth, played Google Play Music, got all the info on the head unit as it was supposed to do. Updated to 12b software version, no more music information displayed on the head unit. So, the 12b update breaks this for Play Music. Some other audio apps still display info but Play Music and Soundcloud are broken."
I'm currently holding the A526U1 bought unlocked and on Metro as a carrier - my CSC appears to be TMK. (Unrooted, though I probably don't need to specify that with that U1) As of right now I still haven't gotten the Android 12 update, though a friend with the A52 5G on T-Mobile has, and that was about a week ago. I sort of expected to get mine pretty soon afterwards, with Metro being owned by T-Mobile and all, but nope, not the case. Was wondering where everyone else in the US is on the update, both on the large carriers and the smaller ones. I'm curious as to whether we're "mostly there" or still just getting started on the rollout.
Actually, it says on the T-Mobile website that their latest update is 12. https://www.t-mobile.com/support/de...a52-5g/software-updates-samsung-galaxy-a52-5g - I haven't asked him what model number he has, but he otherwise has the A52 5G and lives in the northeastern US just like I do. So it's definitely here, but not on my model/CSC.
Ah, yeah! I provided the info about my particular model but really was curious about the full, wider net in the US; my bad not clarifying further on that part!
I'm non T-Mobile and have had mine for the last week... I live here in Texas

In my first post it should have read "Im on T-mobile
Ooh haha gotcha, okay that lines up with the other T-Mobile release - I guess they probably put that out nationwide. The U1 still doesn't have the update as of today, which I find curious. I wonder if the other US models not attached to T-Mobile have theirs yet or if it's just the U on T-Mobile. Anyway thanks!

I also got the latest security patch just a few days ago.. I will say, there seems to be some glitches in this latest Android. For instance when typing sometimes the keyboard just disappears.. Plus the soft keys disappear and I can not exit back to the home screen.. This is mostly after watching videos online.. And a few times when I had the phone app open, I could not view recent calls or access my contacts, except opening up the contact app.
[Erased and pasted into next message because I can't figure out how to delete it lol]

My friend on T-Mobile says he's gotten at least two follow-up patches after the main patch and was actually complaining about having to update so often, to which I said "dude you WANT those patches after a big OS update, they're cleaning up stuff that you're otherwise going to run into" - and I'd guess this is a good example of some of that stuff they haven't gotten to yet. I still have not received the new update, interestingly - I'm not sure whether Metro is being careful not to release a update that isn't quite finished baking or if my exact model isn't prioritized, but it would be nice to think that the version I end up with is a little more polished than the one you're having to deal with (boy figuring out quotes took me a hot second)
This is what I was talking about. The missing soft keys. They came back after swiping to take a screen shot

That's very weird. Okay Metro if you want to take your time making sure I don't gotta deal with that I'm cool honestly. Tho tbh this patch from Android 11 I'm on I have weird activity happen with Gboard - Gboard will try to activate but end up flashing open and then shut again, sometimes with what may be a real flash of noise on the screen that is hard for my eyes to actually detect. It's hard to predict when it will happen but it happens often enough! On the videos, not even scrolling back upwards makes the soft keys come back? (I ask because scrolling down in the gallery makes them disappear for me until I go up again)
Nope not even scrolling. I have let the screen time out then open again. Then the keys reappear.

That's bananas. Hope that gets fixed soon for you, that sounds like a hassle and a half. Have you looked to see if the gesture navigation bar does the same thing? Probably not that easy, but whack either way

I have the same exact model as you: A526U1, but I'm unlocked on AT&T. I too still do not have the Android 12/One UI 4 update. So it's definitely not a Metro thing that's holding up your update. I think they haven't updated it because not every carrier has finished testing it? Really not sure, but I'm super frustrated that other A52 5Gs got it here in the US but not the U1.
I do (and I assume you also do) have the January security patch.

I recently found that information that said that unlocked phones need to be tested on every carrier before being updated, and truthfully at this point seeing the bugs that they're still working through, I feel like that might come out as an advantage for us unlocked users? I'm not sure if it works the way I think it works but it's almost like everybody who isn't unlocked ends up beta testing for the unlocked users?
I do have the January security patch like you, but yeah, no big update yet. But I've contented myself with that on the logic above.
For anyone curious, I received the update last night for my unlocked A52 5G on Metro - so far I haven't noticed any bugs - in fact I think some minor issues I had seen with my display are gone? But there's still time lol. Hex theming is running successfully on it, as a sidenote
I actually got my update for Android 12 and One UI 4.0 a couple weeks ago and another security patch about a week later. From what I have read it has only been released for the A52 5G phones that are not carrier locked. Mine is the SM-A526U and I use with MetroPCS. So far I haven't had any issues with my updates and everything is working good. I did flash a custom GCAM 8.3 port from the new Google Pixel before the 12 update but both camera apps work pretty well with GCAM only having slightly better features. It does take some tinkering with as the ported app at first would take between 1-2 seconds to actually take the picture

My A526U (MetroPCS, unlocked) is now on Android 12.
