What is the reason for the delay in getting this via the check for updates function? How long after the Ota is available does it start appearing through the normal method? I can push it with ADB...but curious what causes the delay.
[Nexus 6P General] yume-smart:
From this morning I have many random reboot, I reset 2 times and with or without root and xposed it reboot... What can I do? Yesterday it worked perfectly

I'm so sad... ?

[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
There is no specific timeline. The roll-out is random.
[Nexus 6P General] tharweb:
I was stuck on January liked many others, then a few days ago February appeared for download, swiftly followed by March and April.
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
It is easier to stop a staged rollout if there is an influx of issues cropping up after a certain OTA. Not everyone is affected in this scenario.
[Nexus 6P General] floepie:
You and your swiftly. Love it when words are resurrected from the dead.

I will apply the gnarly update this evening.
[Nexus 6P General] hytekjosh:
Phone lag is painful. Worst its ever been. As soon as this update took that was it. I feel like the December update introduced lag and that was fixed in a later release. Also, notice battery drain is significant. Has anyone opened or come across an existing bug report? I just opened one, please vote!!! https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=206621
[Nexus 6P General] Quasar:
Try a clean reflash.
[Nexus 6P General] hytekjosh:
I would if it didn't take quite a few hours to re-setup a factory fresh image. Shouldn't have to worry about doing that after accepting what are intended to be only security updates. Google should really split any updates other than security out into a separate update or version, i.e. 6.0.2.
[Nexus 6P General] mattkroeder:
I don't know if it's necessarily the cause but since updating to the latest builds and radio v3.61, my signal has been slightly worse. I'm not saying it has been a big issue. Just pointing out the difference.

From my room in my apartment, I used to get around -90 dBm. I now get -99 dBM from the same spot.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
The April update is horrible. Lag, reduced radio strength,poor battery. WTF Google?!
[Nexus 6P General] AngelxCasas:
Someone have a lot of bugs with this update?

Just updated and installed pure nexus (latest one)

And I have a lot of issues (not sure if is pure nexus, or the latest stock)

But worst battery performance, some lags, issues with apps, some frezzes, Just back to stock two times, and the same thing came again.
[Nexus 6P General] Lepa79:
Not sure what all the complaints about. I flash every single security update and never had issues After, including April. Been running that since day one.
[Nexus 6P General] soma4society:
Jesus. I know YMMV caveats apply, but this is so distressing to hear. I am on the January patch (phone works perfectly) and have intentionally held off taking March because so many users over at Android Central reported problems. Seems like April may be feast or famine too. Gahhhhh!

Maybe I'll stop paying attention to update notifications altogether until Android N drops. I just hate to unintentionally hobble a phone that works this damn well.
[Nexus 6P General] Quasar:
Google won't push an update if it caused lags. It's most likely due to a misbehaving app or something of that sort. Even if you do happen to be the lucky owner of a device that encounters issues after the OTA, just back the stuff up and reflash. TWRP allows one to flash the system/vendor/boot image so none of the hassle of wiping the SD Card. If one is not willing to fix his own issue when he know the solution because it is "inconvenient", then I don't see how Google is to blame.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
I've clean flashed, wiped cache a couple of times and the lag I have when opening apps on the April update is crazy. With the same apps, this didn't happen on the March update which was very fast and smooth.
[Nexus 6P General] feis:
But you realise that only you and few others have lags while the majority of thousands of users are more than happy. It cant be due to update, cause its not affecting other users
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
How do we know the majority of the thousands of users are happy? The lags are apparent but it doesn't affect the function of the phone, the average user probably wouldn't realise. Only power users like us posting on here can see the difference.
[Nexus 6P General] feis:
Believe me average users do notice lag. And people always complain when something is wrong, and the fact that there are so few of you complaining proves its not the update. I am power user, and i always follow my screen on times and general performance, and no difference here, same as for many others. Im sure you are rooted and using numerous tweaks like xposed etc, so problem might be coming from there, while im running stock and no problems whatsoever.

You made me laugh. So how do you explain the whole Lollipop memory leak debacle?
[Nexus 6P General] Pain-N-Panic:
Hhmmm....I think I'm going to stay on the March update and just wait until the may ota rolls out to update my phone. Too many people complaining. March update has been working fine for me.
[Nexus 6P General] mattkroeder:
Honestly, I don't even think the problem is the updates themselves. Every month, people complain about shortened battery life or other issues after every update. Perhaps there are issues with the update process or whatever that triggers certain wakelocks or bad apps not behaving properly. I don't think it's necessarily the updates themselves that are introducing bugs.

I'm using Pure Nexus now but back when I was still on stock, the February update triggered the SystemUpdateService wakelock on my phone. My 6P wouldn't go into sleep mode after that. Eventually I just decided to start over on a fresh install to get rid of it.
[Nexus 6P General] JeffBea:
I haven't noticed any difference between March and April updates. I flash the individual IMG files manually from my PC from Google's web site. I am root and twrp and last but not least Exposed. No lag that I notice and battery life the is the same. Did notice a slight drop in cell levels with new radio but no problems making calls. Hope you guys figure out the problem tho.
[Nexus 6P General] samlingx:
Hard to say which update has actually caused my issues since I went straight from the January update to April (flashing the OTA full build except userdata.img via fastboot and formatting the system directory in the process), but I've definitely noticed some weirdness. Lag without an apparent cause, a rare crash, and just now I noticed my wifi connection said "no internet" until I rebooted the phone (internet connection was fine on all other devices). Battery life seems fine though, not worse in any significant way.

Edit: I'm now consistently seeing an exclamation point either next to wifi claiming no internet (which there is, I can disable cellular data and still load things), or if I disable wifi the exclamation point moves to the LTE symbol. Instagram seems to have stopped loading images, although it will load new posts (still with no images) if I refresh. Anyone else experienced this?
[Nexus 6P General] ButtonBoy:
I had the I updates, and battery life was very good. Now I have the April Security Updates (Q), and my battery life bites it. None of the lag, but 3 hours of light use spread over 7 hours, and I have 15% left now. Normally, I would have 45% left.
[Nexus 6P General] diri:
No problem here, update pushed to phone over the air. Everything works fine(animation are smooth as before) and without lag. No FC, no shortened battery life., no connection problems(bluetooth, LTE, wifi). So for me, and many others, this update did nothing wrong or made my phone experience worse.
[Nexus 6P General] Quasar:
Try rolling back to the March update to see it it works fine there. Then the problem could be isolated to the April OTA.

That was an issue with the whole operating system, and affected every device. Putting aside the fact that Google should have fixed that before releasing lollipop anyway, this issue is only affecting certain devices, so clearly, it's not an inherent operating system issue. It's amazing to watch people on XDA cry foul the moment their device is affected and then only pay attention to the odd users that do have the same complaints while blissfully ignoring the people who don't have any issues. It would be better to do some proper digging to find the issue rather than bashing everyone left, right and centre. You're also more likely to find the cause of the problem faster than creating a bug report with Google since they will probably not care if their test devices work fine.
[Nexus 6P General] MultiKoopa:
So any problems with battery with the April security patch build?

Has the damn Media server battery drain glitch been fixed yet?
[Nexus 6P General] sakuhei:
For me, the April build eats more battery than March one.
[Nexus 6P General] feis:
No difference here
[Nexus 6P General] max4wdc:
No difference here, is good as March
[Nexus 6P General] n0zzz01:
Running without lags and battery life is good just like earlier builds :)
[Nexus 6P General] JoshuaMh:
Updated via fastboot as I do every update, no problems so far. Sound, reception, and battery life all the same. I would notice lag, I haven't expierenced any. Every update people claim the previous update had way better battery life.

Perhaps wiping the cache as I do every time I reflash SuperSU, makes the difference.
[Nexus 6P General] compumasta:
I suppose it could have coincided with a particular app update or something, but my 6p enters doze way faster and longer than before. I used to finish the day with 20% or less in March. Now I finish with >50% and sometimes as high as 75% if my usage is light. Before, it made little difference either way. That's not a little increase, that's huge to me. The improvement coincided with the April update so IDK.
[Nexus 6P General] JoshuaMh:
I noticed this after sleep last night! I think you're right.

Normally I'd lose 5-6% overnight, last night the line was nearly flat and I only lost 2% over 7 hours.
[Nexus 6P General] jswclw:
I received the April OTA earlier this week via the actual OTA update process. I have applied all previous updates the same way, as they arrived OTA automatically. All is well here. No lag.

What I am wondering is if applying the April OTA over the January could be the problem. Aren't the OTA files just the deltas from month to month? If so, then skipping February and March would likely leave you with a mess.
[Nexus 6P General] JoshuaMh:
I'm pretty sure updates are cumulative, and I've had no issues skipping from the Jan to March update, then updating to April a month later.
[Nexus 6P General] ButtonBoy:
My poor battery life problem went away once I cleared the cache as part of reinstalling SuperSU. No lag issues either, all seems to work just fine.
[Nexus 6P General] samlingx:
I think you're right in that the OTA updates are just deltas, however that's my mistake for saying OTA when what I meant was that I downloaded the full build of the April update (not the Mar->Apr OTA) and flashed everything except userdata.img.

So far still going strong on MHC19i with no issues, I have to believe at this point that it was either my own error in flashing the build or something got corrupted or otherwise messed up somehow.
[Nexus 6P General] floepie:
I thought OTA's are specific to which version you have currently running. So, if there were 3 previous updates to the original, the latest update would have 4 possible OTA's. One for the original and 3 for the previous 3 updates to jump directly to the latest update. If you manually apply the wrong update, you have a headache on your hands....
[Nexus 6P General] JoshuaMh:
I'm 99% sure you are right... I've had no problem skipping an update or two. Not sure why samlingx or jswclw are suggesting otherwise. Hopefully someone who knows for sure can pop in, and put a definite answer on it so misinformation isn't being spread.
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
[MENTION=4693061]samlingx[/MENTION] downloaded the full factory image and flashed it via fastboot. Doing this process, one can switch between updates spanning any number of months. There is no misinformation here. They even stated in a follow-up post that they did not mean to write "OTA." The only thing is, if you have weird bugs after doing this, it is recommended to factory reset THEN reinstall the factory image in fastboot.

With the traditional OTA method, you wait until Google pushes it to your device. This is a delta update. You may notice when a new upgrade is available, folks will post links indicating the upgrade path from December to January, December to February, February to April or something like that. This is so others can ADB Sideload that update without waiting for Google to push the update to a wider audience.
[Nexus 6P General] hytekjosh:
How do you know its not an OS issue? If I had $ for every bug I've reported, been accepted by a vendor, and fixed, I'd be a very rich man. We are talking hundreds of bugs related to dozens of vendors and products over the years including some Google products and Android. Good news here is Google has confirmed the lag issue that was introduced in the April OTA and apparently already patched it for May OTA. Things will go unfixed much of the time if they are overlooked during the vendor's testing and not reported by users. And software should be able to follow an upgrade path without introducing issues and requiring factory resets.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbobcooterrooter:
xpost from Sprint s6edge forum

I have multiple s6 and s6 edges and the original wall worts and cables...I've tried charging this device with literally every combo possible, and confirming with another s6 edge that those combos work, and nothing. This is a no go in both regular and safe mode.

I can charge it via USB on my PC and MBP in both regualr and safe modes though.

It is full stock never rooted. I have tried clearing system cache, uninstalling third party apps, turning on and off USB debug...and it only work as described. All apps are updated (now uninstalled)

Anyone have any other thoughts or ideas? Obviously a hard reset is an idea, but trying to avoid that for now. I'm hoping that I someone has an idea before I do that, since that's my last ditch effort.

It's a Sprint branded original launch date purchased device. And again, this started immediately after updating to 6.0.1 earlier today.

Thanks in advance!!

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbobcooterrooter:
nope, just minds it's own business.

That said if the device is powered off it will show the battery and the lighting bolt for a few secs....but it never actually charges, at all, nor will the LED indicator come up...so i know it reads the cable sans computer.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michiel0912:
Seems a grounding/pin issue on the USB port. Maybe cleaning the contacts with isopropanol can help.

Hard reset and if that doesn't help you've got to get it back to the store.

Connected to freedompop with the sprint version, flashed cm13, runs fine, but the phone number is wrong and I cannot make any calls to it.

My thought is to update prl and profile, which i cannot do in cm13. So I thought if i go back to 5.1.1 that would do it.

I cannot seem to find a stock specifically for my phone. If I can use a diff model rom for it, fine, but no clue which one that is.

Help!
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnamagna:
I realize this isn't the answer you are looking for, but AFAIK, FreedomPop phones only use data to make calls (via the messaging app). The number you are assigned in About Phone>Status is only used to get you on the network to receive data. I know you can pay for "Premium Voice" that is supposed to make calls over cellular (and not data) but from what I have read, this is for outgoing calls only. Also, while the phone number in About Phone might be used to make the premium voide call, FreedomPop will put in forwards so that it looks like the call is coming from your regular FreedomPop number. Calls can't be received to this About Phone number. Here is a forum posting that mentions it: https://forums.freedompop.com/discussion/13935/cant-receive-calls

TL;DR - As long as your data connection works, the phone number in Settings>About Phone>Status is meaningless.

PS - I could be completely wrong about this!!

Idk what the latest version of the Moto E XT1526 (sprint) firmware is, but I flashed Build LP123.29-18.S.11 for Boost and it works fine on my Sprint XT1526 running on Ring Plus. I got it here:

http://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto E (2nd gen-2015)/Stock/XT1526/

XT1526_SURNIA_BOOST_5.1_LPI23.29-18-S.11_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

I flashed it manually by using these instructions:

fastboot oem fb_mode_set

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase customize

fastboot oem config carrier spr

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

That bootloader is version 80.0F. I do not know if that is the most recent bootloader version or not. If you have a later version of the bootloader - YOU SHOULD NOT FLASH A LOWER VERSION OF THE PARTITION TABLE (gpt.bin) OR THE BOOTLOADER (bootloader.img).

BEWARE - you should NOT try to downgrade the partition table or the bootloader. You should also never try to flash a partition table that is the incorrect version for the bootloader you are running!!! Doing so will either fail or result in a hard brick!!!!

Also, there is a file called MVNO Slayer that I installed to get free tethering on Ring+. Not sure if it would help your issue or not:

http://xdaforums.com/moto-e-2015/cdma-development/flashable-lte-fix-moto-e-6-x-boost-t3290719

I would try installing the MVNO Slayer first and see if that corrects your issue.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean35:
As was already mentioned, a device active on FreedomPop doesn't have an actual phone number. You need to either have the FreedomPop app installed, or use an alternative such as Hangouts Dialer. If you have root, you can extract the user name and password from the FreedomPop data (search for FreedomPop Google Voice integration for instructions) and enter them in the hidden SIP settings, which you can access using an app like Activity Launcher or AnyCut.. You would then be able to make and receive SIP calls using your FreedomPop number without having the FreedomPop app installed, but you wouldn't be able to send or receive SMS.

[General Questions and Answers] littlevenecian:
My aunt gave it to me with some kind of 'If you fix it, you can keep it' arrangement, but I can't do anything at all with it, there's barely some info in the web except for post about the problem it has and the fact that it has no solution. I can't find a rom that works for the phone either

Everytime I turn on the phone, inmediately after the logo screen, there appears an error message that says: ''Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.'' When I force close it, less than a second after, the message appears again, letting me do practically nothing.

If I'm fast enough I can enter the settings and check stuff around, after I'm in the settings screen, the problem persists, but last a little longer without the message on the screen.

I checked around to find something about the problem at it seems commonly attributed to the sync and contact apps, but I have tried all the solutions relating this apps (including a factory reset) and nothing has worked.

Something I noticed was that the android keyboard is always restarting and has 0 processes and 1 service, and just when it manages to restart, the message appears, and when I force close it, it goes back to 0 processes and 1 service and restarting. Also if I manage to enter the web browser and click in the url, just when the keyboard appears, it closes and the message appears again.

The android version is 4.0.4, and the model Pixys pxs-mp367a. If you need more info please tell me how to find it out.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English. :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] guyenxda000:
hi all, I got real strange behavior on my note ii recently. my note ii is generaly sluggish after using ezkat for sometime and lots of problems. I just decided to go stock and flashed the stock ROM this time. But to my surprise, the note ii is overly sluggish, (several seconds to respond to swipe) even after wiping out all the data and re-flash the stock ROM or ezkat. I am wondering what could be causing this?

Did something in the phone broke?

or could it be due to a low-level software i.e. bootloader or Philz Touch I have been using for sometime?

Here is my software information on my phone:

kernel version:

3.0.31-1728680

dpi@SWDD6020 #1

I have tried either of the followings:

ezkat_4.4.2_beta2.zip

i317-cw-ucucne5-stock-odex.zip

Also another weird thing is that, the screen will timeout and go blank even during i am using which is very annoying. It does not matter what timeout setting i set in the display section of system settings.

Thanks.,

Might be bootloader or kernel. Instead of flashing rom through recovery, flash stock rom using odin.
